Aww, HUGS Max!!!
I asked this earlier too max bc based upon my cycles if this cycle fails it puts nexts due date to Dec 20. I ALWAYS go late by 4+ days... which is christmas. This makes me question If we should continue or take a break. So many negitives to me. 1- obviously having an Xmas birthday isn't fun for the child bc no friends would ever come to the birthday party due to holidays.Quote:

I dunno bit then I think of the positives...none of this would really matter if I had my healthy baby girl!
But... if I had a boy (although I'd love regardless) having a December baby plus a boy would feel like a double whamy of disappointment for me I think. We truly wanted a summer baby.. so that's alot of extra pressure.

Hope it's just too early fiveboys!!
Moma-will keep my fx for you!!
Sounds like some of us will be in the next 2WW together.
Maxim-I really wanted a November baby and wanted to avoid a December baby. However, will prob keep trying anyway. l'll have another scheduled c-section a week early, so I'd be looking at around Dec 8th, which I could handle. If it's a girl, I won't care about the month at all haha. The best gift ever!!!
Fx for those testing soon!!! More BFPs please!!!
Does anyone else ever notice that after a BFN, everyone else around you (friends, family, coworkers, acquaintences) seems to be pregnant??? I know I already have 2 beautiful boys, but didn't think it would be so hard ttc #3 sigh...
If I didn't conceive in February, we weren't going to skip months. An extra month on the diet would have just meant more cheating and a worse sway. Although, if we were going to skip a month it would have been April. An early January due date would have been a lot worse than an early December- my boys were born at 38 and 36 weeks, I doubt I'll ever go over much if at all.
I guess I had never really considered the fact of birthday would be so close to Christmas but I don't think I'd skip it seems kinda cool to have a Christmas baby! I'd either be HUGE or have nb. If I miss this month and get it next my date would be dec 30th but my others came at 38, 36, 35, and 37 weeks so I could get well have a Christmas baby! And a girl for Christmas would be the best gift ever.... really hoping I get a bfp this month because the girl diet is horrendous I'm so starving all the time!!
Ash, if you're starving all the time you could probably adjust your diet to feel better. It is annoying if you were a really blue pattern eater, though.
Robin, sorry I somehow overlooked your December post. Sorry if you guys already covered this. I had stayed off for a few days waiting for AF...
I agree with not skipping this month. It's already taking much longer than I ever thought to conceive #3. DD1&2 were first try, and this time around I'm getting a run for my money, so to speak. I did make an appointment with a new ob/gyn for Tuesday to get a second opinion. My last doctor didn't want to even hear anything from me until we had tried for a solid 6 months, which is just crazy to me. I'd like to just have labs done to make sure that everything looks normal. They can do that before 6 months of trying, right?
And I do agree that the LE diet sucks! I pretty much eat vegetarian and low calorie anyway, so that isn't huge for me, but not weight lifting like I normally do has messed with me.
Max did you have to try to sway pink for your first two?
A lady at work just told me she was pregnant five minutes before I read your post, lol. There's another one who is due a month before I would have been due with my loss. It sucks watching other people's pregnancies go by while you're trying. I haven't been TTC nearly as long as some, but I had an easy time conceiving my boys and carrying to term and I guess I assumed it would be easy for #3. :-/Quote:

Ash, no...we weren't swaying. I actually hadn't even heard about swaying until I convinced my DH to try for baby #3, and then found this site. However, I do think that I unintentionally do sway pink. I eat mostly vegetarian (but do eat some chicken and fish), I always have eaten under 1,800 calories (so LE diet sort of), and love acidic things like coffee, diet cokes and wine. I also know that timing doesn't sway, but both DD's were 0-3 and O-2 BD times. I'm planning to do pretty much the same this time around.
Erin, I feel the SAME way exactly! I never would have thought that it would take this long given that it was so easy with DD's. My sister in law just announced that she is pregnant with her third girl. I don't particularly care for her, so it's stings that much more. :rolleyes:
So my HGC levels are:
14dpo - 107
16dpo - 198
So almost double. They wanted another draw today or tomorrow morning (because of the weekend), but I am getting another one done tomorrow evening to keep it at 48 hours. I am scheduling and u/s for the 20th. That puts me at 6w and we should have a good answer by that point. Of course I am advised that if I get any pelvic pain I am to head straight to the ER. This limbo is horrible, but I will be happy if this ends up viable.
Shan!! That looks VERY promising! Yayyyy
FX and [emoji1317]so hard for you Shannshaff that everything's works out!!

We do coffee as a sway tactic here. The other sight says no because of worries of calcium leaching from your bones, but we're having good results with full caffeine coffee as a tactic. I aimed for 3 or more cups a day.
@shannshaff - I'm so sorry you're in this limbo. It's great to hear you have a scan booked. If there was another bean that didn't make it would that not affect a hcg draw? I only just thought of that while reading your post.... Will keep everything crossed for you x

Well darn! I've been depriving myself from my Coke Zero lol I'm assuming if coffe is ok that is also going to get me one tonight hehe
Shan I hope it all works out!!
Ash -- it sounds like you are coming from in gender site?
Maybe you should order a personalized plan from atomic or go through all the ttc girl forums in tge main section. I found that helpful my last sway. I wtote down everything i could eat etc...This time I paid for a custom sway.

Thanks Erin, XX & Maxim! Glad I'm not alone! I just thought ttc#3 would be easy as well! I think I have a natural girl diet too...vegetarian since I was 13, drink caffeine daily and don't eat a lot in general. I love potatoes though...so I cut that & all boy friendly foods out last June, but It sounds like the potatoes are pretty insignificant haha.
Ash-I'm swaying pink too. I think I unintentionally may have swayed boy in the past with some other factors though...such as preseed, soy isoflavones & fertileCM. I'm glad I found this site...I had to change the way I was thinking about ttc a girl. I thought caffeine was a no-no too, but good results reported here.
Shannshaff-fxfxfx!! Sounds promising!!
I've glanced at the in gender site but I liked this one much better! I usually just google if I want something to eat lol "can I have this on girl sway" I need to study the diet list a bit better it seems but I have been doing good at keeping fat around 30% protein no more than 50 and under 1500 cals and I've still been gaining! No much but it teeters back and forth. I'd say if i get a bfp this month my sway won't be as strong as it could be I guess only time will tell.
Did still have flashing smiley today hoping it's still flashing tomorrow and Saturday would be great since hubs won't be home until then. Anyone else think watching opks are just as nerve wracking...
Ash, no way, I've done full caffeine always! I think I have a proper caffeine addiction and can't give it up! For Coke Zero, does it have aspartame or Splenda? I think you need aspartame.
Shan, thinking of you!!!

PBN how are you going???
Hi kc! I'm good, just waiting fpr af to arrive any day now. Tested again this morning as temp still up but still stark bfn plus my af pains have been getting pretty serious lol. Just hoping she arrives by tonight / tomorrow so I at least stand a chance of more attempts this time.....
How are you!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Gosh Pbn3, are you sure AF is on her way? Your chart looks pretty lovely [emoji4]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Shannshaff that's sounds very encouraging! FX for you.
Ashfind, have you read the links in Atomic's signature like the LE diet in a nutshell, the trouble with timing, and the one on exercise? That will start you off. Aside from diet, most people swaying pink do 1 hour of cardio 4-6 days per week, coffee and alcohol, and a single attempt at positive OPK.
Pbn, I agree!!

Thanks Roe and maxim but yes af is on the way. Pretty sure the clomid is keeping my temps up and looking pretty lol
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
PBN do you normally get days & days of cramping before AF? thats pretty unusual I would have thought. The last 2 times I had implantation cramping for 4-5days & it was pretty intense
Most times kc :) and my back was aching pretty bad last night. Feels like she's right on the doorstep. I am 100% positive af will be here by/on the weekend. I have even bought a bottle of wine I'm about to crack that's how sure I am.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
I'm right there with you pbn! I have cramps & it feels like AF will be here any minute! Guess we just try to enjoy the weekend & take each day at a time! My youngest DS turns 2 on Sat, then Sunday is the day my BIL & wife find out gender & we find out if they will "steal" our baby girl name...
Sure hope they don't have the same name lola :( What date'ish do you expect to o?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
I know...we've had the name forever...and after this BFN, that would just pour salt on the wound!! It looks I'm due to o around 3/22ish. My cycles have been approx 26 days. What about you Pbn?
Lola I just wrote a huge speil and lost it 😂😂 so to cut it short I expect to o around the 25th right smack bang in the middle of dh's night shifts..... I told dh we'll give our all (what we can) this cycle then I promised him to move on. Its the last chance cycle for a baby this year. I'm not going into yet another year due date wise. I'm 40 next year and I have nothing against ladies my age or older ttc it's just not for me especially when hubby is 7 years older. I've been making plans the last few days for this year and next, things I should've been doing the past two years but put off so I could focus on ttc. Well no more lol!!! Onwards and upwards regardless of which way next cycle goes :)
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
Aaaannnd may not even be trying. My apparent dh is a shit! Trying to get away from him for the night - so over it :( he got moody once I started talking about one more cycle and what we can try and do to improve our odds. Fact is he's stoked I'm oing on his night shifts because he gets sex with no repercussions atm I dislike him a whole lot
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48
We are pretty much in sync with our cycles. Hoping the wait isn't too much longer! Maybe you're destined to have an Xmas baby? A girl for Xmas :)Quote:
