I wonder if I should stop doing some of the supps, my CM was never a problem before but seem really low the last couple of months. My DH took the Mucinex 1 hr before but hates it since it makes him cough. :) I don't seem to have a problem my smoking little man! I wish he would do the URAL and make his PH top notch. Everyone on IG when the posted their sway seem to have had DH's PH up to a 9 and conceived boy. Can't check of coarse now since he are abstaining but I wish both of ours is higher. I'll see what mine is closer to O though.Quote:

I'm a little nervous though cuz it hits a sore spot of him thinking I don't respect him (I do, but he is wrong in this situation -I could PM you if you are dying to know) It could go horribly wrong and he is kinda crabby this week and we aren't connecting that great on & off. Oh well, I can only control what I can. I think it will be fine.
Not sure what to do about the CM though, I've never tracked it before, but I remember having quiet a bit. Funny I used to think there was something kinda gross and wrong about my body. I had no idea what a blessing it was. TMI but whatcha gonna do. :)
OMGoodness we are so alike P! I really go back and forth but right now, today, at this minute I just want a BFP. My perspective keeps changing so I am really just trying to pray about it. I do pray for a boy still and secretly pray for boy and girl twins. :) No real family history, but since I'm asking. :)Quote:

OK so basically, Iluv, I was saying that I really hope the counseling goes well and I'm sorry you guys have something not fun like that in the midst of TTC, because let's face it TTC is stressful enough sometimes! FX you walk out of there with a peace about it ... but I love that you're like, no matter what, we're gettin' busy that night :bigsmile: A woman on a mission! I like it!
Babydes I am thrilled for you and your friend EWCM :happy: C'mon +OPK!
I got B6 today and started taking it hoping it will stop the pre-AF spotting I've been having. That worries me :worry:
I want this answer too! I could have written the exact same Q!Quote:

not sure how much I messed up my sway this weekend. we dtd at o-2 after I had a few rum and cokes. I hadnt drank alcohol for so long and then of course the night we try I had two drinks!! How much does it matter? should I still attempt tonight? I am having o pains today.
I've deleted some long posts too. LOL! It's been a pending issue for a few months but he's recently said I have to cut off all contact w/ her and my nieces and nephews. He's not a complete jerk just acting like one on this. We have a great relationship but on big issues sometimes, when we can't come to a comprimise we need a little help working through them. I know it will ultimately come down to and even bigger issue which is a respect issue so that is what might get ugly since it's a deep issue. Too bad though, we can still do "it" mad, yo! I crack myself up! :)Quote:

Why does the spotting worry you?
How is your cm?Quote:

Are you worried about it for boy sway of getting prego at all? I can't imagine it could hurt that much but I really don't know. I shouldn't respond then, huh! :)Quote:

How are the tww ladies doing?
Lola, how are you my love?
Here's Atomic's link about it and it doesn't appear to make a difference but I'd love to hear peeps opinions on it.Quote:

My cm isnt much & it comes & goes throughout the day but i suppose it might increase closer to ovulation time. Are you going to try preseed or ew for your attempt? I also think that the mucinex/robitussin only thin out cm that's already there, i dont think they increase cm. I read somewhere that okra was really good for cm, i read that you eat 2/day without the seeds from AF-O, i havent tried it myself but might give a go if i have yet another failed attemptQuote:

That's that...Just wanted to say Hi over here! I'm dizzy from all the info!
Welcome tink!!!!!!! xx
I just finished a reply to you on your original post. Glad to see you.Quote:

I just have to hope it picks up tomorrow. that s/b my 1st + opk this cycle and I best see some CM! :) Sounds like Robitussing and Mucinex both use the Guaffessian or whatever the heck it is so it shouldn't make a difference.
Iluv I think it's super that you guys go seek outside help for big issues like that! I think that has to make it easier to have a mediator. Re:the spotting it only worries me b/c it can be a sign of low progesterone, and that can make it hard to a) get pregnant and b) keep the baby if you do get pg. I never had spotting before this whole boy swaying thing. :hair:
Hi Tink! Welcome!
Babydes I love Okra! I wonder if that is true ... but even if it is I suppose my fried okra isn't what they are talking about :wink:
TTC5 for real, I can't believe we are nearly half-way thru 2011! Lola mentioned a beach vacay so perhaps she's off on that? Or working hard in preparation for time off?
Princess I don't think a bit of drinking will keep you from getting pg or ruin the work you did to sway. We can only do so much, KWIM? Good luck on your O day attempt!
thanks girls. I love how relaxed GD is compared to IG where I stressed about every little thing. Moon sign is male, full moon and chinese calendar all say boy. so fx for a
bfp!
ITA Princess! I like the feel here. So supportive!
That's awesome that all your signs are lined up for boy! Give you a little boost of confidence, doesn't it?!?
I started a prenatal today. Part of that is b/c I never took them before getting pregnant with my girls so I figure it is something different for me. Plus the ones I bought are delicious :-) And have no calcium! Crazy! I'm doing some full fat dairy so I'm not scared of calcium, but from what I remember reading no IG it was super hard to find no Ca prenatals.
FX for all our gals in the 2WW!
Hi All,
This is cemas from Ig...so this is where everybody is...lol i have been looking :)
good luck to the 2wws. And good luck to the rest of us butt lickers(ttc boy!)
Just wanted to say a hiiii
Ok, i'm in a dilemma so need some advice. I havent yet got a + opk but ewcm still there, today is day 3 abstinance for DH & i was hoping to have a + opk tomorrow & that would have been perfect for spermies but now i'm not sure when i'll get a +opk so the question is, should i dtd tomorrow & then again when i get +opk which could be any day or should i get DH to release & hope that when i get +opk he'd have had a few days to load up. Confussed & this happens all the time
babyD I'd wait til tomorrow and dtd regardless of + or not, that would be a perfect 4 day for DH:agree:
HEY everyone! I have unfortunately not been on vaca, rather just insanely busy with work and DH is out of town, making things extra fun. AND my 12 year old dog just had surgery and has cancer, so been taking care of lots of little people and 4-legged people also. I think AF is coming soon, I feel crappy, haven't had pms for a while now.
SO excited for all of the attempts! I just read through 10 pages or so you chatty chicas, so do have a couple of comments:
2ww- I would not take anything but the prenatals during this time, just to be safe, but this is my opinion. It's totally fine to have a break between attempts anyway. Lots of ladies vary, though...definitely no bsd or hormonal supps, I think it is fine to keep doing green tea and diet and all, of course, but I stop with the supps just to be on the safe side.
Ew and bsf.....I remember the guru on IG telling me in all caps to NOT mix bs and ew, that it does something funny to the mixture and makes the sperms heads explode. I was like WHAAAA???? But, you can mix preseed and bs for sure. Now, you guys remember me telling you all that I did ew for 5 months and bfns....BUT what makes me wary is that I also did a bsf, so in essence, I was mixing the two. I think it is very bad advice to do ew and bsf, because you ARE mixing it! I think I was killing all of DH's sperm. Then, the two months we get pg, like bam and bam, it was with preseed and bsf. So, just beware. I think that if you do ew, the ph is so high that you don't need to do a bsf. I would do one or the other. Just beware!
Mucinex vs. Robitussin- I personally take the mucinex tabs, because I hate drinking icky cough syrup, and I just take the tab about an hour before attempt. I wouldn't think there is much of a difference, because they both contain 400mg guifanesin. But, liquid will of course absorb a bit faster, which is why I give the tabs an hour to take effect.
And thanks for the compliments, Iluv....it's crazy how much I know about this since I've been doing it so long now. Sheeshhhh.
Babydes, glad to hear you are having some ew! Yay! I bet you are droppin' some eggs, girl!
Oh, and who had the bloody cm? That is ok, when you release and egg, sometimes a little blood can come out, it just means that you probably ovulated. I recall reading that in TCOYF or something. Maybe google it.....
Anyway, hope you girls are doing ok. I am focusing on life and losing this weight right now. I want to drop the 25 lbs in the next 5 weeks, then I'll get back on the diet in a nice moderate fashion for about 6 weeks. I just got out my summer clothes and NOTHING from last summer fits, not one pair of my bottoms at all. So depressing. I hope someone gets a bfp really soon....sending positive baby vibes out to all of the attempts and 2wwers right now!!!
I agree, do it now with all the ewcm, then do it again about 12-18 hours after your +opk shows up. If you are not close with the fade-ins, you'll probably have a + with a nice 2-3 day abstinence in between. Can't remember if you are trying the one shot deal or not.....Quote:

Would you consider that a + or -? I know it's got to be close but don't want to jump the gun! We hope the often BDing will do the trick, along with the supps, diet, preseed, and deep penetration. The timing think just didn't work out this month! We're so fertile, I'm pretty confident we'll get a BFP this month, otherwise I'd just scrap it and try to just hit O day next month! Thanks for the help!!

Hi All, Hope you are all doing well ..I've been away for a few days..I am really not feeling well. After all the hard work I done since my m/c in March, I can't even O anymore so I can't make an attempt. I'm on CD 36 and no sign of O. And after everything I've been through since I started swaying we decided no more ttc for us. I don't know If I will try again, but for right now I am just sad for everything I did, it went for nothing. I got so fat from the diet I spent a lot of money for nothing. I can't keep doing this anymore :(
I can't believe April is over and May is almost over and I can't make just one attempt. CRAZY.Quote:

I think we are going to try for 3 months, then give up after that. If you are at wit's end, I think you are making the right decision to let go of it (even if for now, for this year, whatever it may be), and put your focus into something else. I know it's been a while for us, and it does really wear you down to ttc, and to add swaying in there, it really consumes your life. I hope you are doing ok.....pm me if you want....I totally get how you feel. xoxoQuote:
