I am just back from a girls weekend in Edinburgh and I think my legs may fall off with all the hills in that city, and I managed to eat HE and drank only red wine. So proud of myself for sticking with it because travelling as a veggie on HE can be difficult.Quote:

Hi All,
Very busy weekend and we were away for a night so not on. Yes, officially past O.
My temps were a bit funny, so I am not sure when I O's. They went up, then down the next morning, then up again. Today they are further up. so not positive when I O'd, but got attempts in so we'll see.
I am trying not to think about it too much and unfortunately, I was a little hungry on sat which is when I think I did O because we were out and in the middle of stuff so I missed lunch. I can't worry about it now though.
If it doesn't work this month we are either not trying at all and taking it as it wasn't meant to be or we'd try in January. The next few months don't work out timing wise. DH was unsure about TTCing again anyway and I can see some of his points so I am going to try and really remember all the pros and cons so if this doesn't work it doesn't feel so bad.
Whew, anyway glad the stress of attempting is over. DH was very excited and drank and ate some crappy food.
Hi ELP.Quote:

Hi ELP,
I was going though the posts from page 1 and saw your list, THANK YOU! I love a lot of your food ideas. Congrats on your upcoming blue sway!! How exciting!!
Everyone has been so helpful sharing all their meal ideas, thank you :)
So how is everyone doing.
ELP any sign of your cycles returning
n710 how many DPO are you now and when are you going to test ?
Sonia I too find it hard to stick to HE when away from home but I think as long as the overall trend is gaining then the odd day here and there shouldn't make too much difference.
Pearl! funny you should say that because I am pretty sure I am cd2!! I had a little spotting on Mon night, and it has carried on since then, not heavy but I wont complain ther lol!! My cycles are usually 31 days so that would mean attempt around ??? the 26th?? I will have to think whether to attempt or skip this 1st month?? I think I will probably attempt, may aswell I have been doing what I should be doing really so why not!!!!Quote:

Pearl-Let's see, I am only 5dpo, man it really goes by slow. I hate the wondering because I don't want to get my hopes up, but also want to think positive.
I am definitely not testing early though. I feel so sad when I read about others' chemicals and I don't want to get really excited to be let down.
This is pretty much our one shot month too, so I will be pretty nervous testing. I keep trying to think of things to make myself feel better if it's negative. Like I can focus on my kids now and we'll have an even number of kids and then there is no one in the middle. Anyway, we'll see if it helps next week.
I will test next Friday and my daughter's B-Day party is the next day so I'll definitely have a distraction if negative.
ELP-Go for it-you'll be thinking about it anyway;)
+ OPK this morning after a medicinal DTD, it is very good cure for headcolds :wink:
We were unsure as to whether or not to go for it since myself since last Wed has been laid low with a headcold and DH since Friday has got the infinitely more serious MANFLU :nails: But then neither of us want to put if off another month even if it is not our best sway.
Pearl, thats brilliant!! See if you can sneak in another tonight maybe, purely for medicinal of course;):bigsmile:
n710 you must be testing soon!!! I have massive :fx: for your bfp :luck::luck:
We are also trying to sway for a lil boy thsi month!!! keeping the fingers crossed!
Good luck and welcome prayforaboy:) What are you planning for your sway so far??:)
Hi Guys - I have a question about the O timing... I have been testing since last three days and OPK was -ve but today morning I got a +ve OPK ( clearblue digital) but in office ( i have walgreen stick) it is showing -ve LH surge. What do I do? should I goahaead and BD tonight anyways?
Thanks dream member.
I have been avoiding dairy and sugar, we are vegetarians so no meat. I have been eating two bananas everyday since last month, L-arg tablet, green tea, potessium tablet, folic acid tablets. I have been drinking BS water 3x a day since last 1.5 weeks. yesterday I did BSF.... i don't want to do it again though. Today should be my ovulation day but i am confused because of two diffrent results on diffrent kind of OKP. If we do BD tonight... i will use preseed jelly, Red bull for my husband and doggy style. Thats the plan.
We have a DD and this will our last .. so really want to have a lil boy.
Good luck prayforaboy. I would go with the clear blue results as they are meant to be more accurate. I am a vegetarian too and have been following the HE diet since July. I have posted some of my boy friendly veg recipes in the dream member section if you want to take a look and maybe add some of your own ones
Opk thing is just so stressful... I don't what's going on . I m still in office n Walgreen opk n it's again -ve
Thanks pearl. We will Dtd tonight.

Thanks Pearl and ELP!!!!
I am definitely keyed up, so haven't been on much because I am trying not to think abut. That second week of the 2WW is the killer!
'
Unfortunately, my temps have gone down the last 2 mornings:( So, I am trying to prepare myself for the BFN.
It's hard though because this was our month to try. We may or may not try again in January. We were sort of being fatalistic about trying one month and that's it. DH was more for stopping at 4 kids.
For me, this really started as wanting to try for a boy, but I have also realized there is a big part of me that wants another baby period. I be thrilled with a boy, but at the same time if we did get pregnant and it was a girl then I would have 4 girls instead of 3 and then less of a chance for one of the girls to feel "in the middle" or left out.
Anyway, DH is amazing so if I do want to try again in Jan. he will. Although our sway will not be as good then because I know he won't cut back as much as he did for this past month.
Whew, sorry so long ladies. really thinking about getting the BFN really puts things in perspective.
I will update tomorrow!
Pearl, hope you have some success this month and the 2ww flies by!!!
ELP-So are going for it this month?
OPK's are tricky. The month I got pregnant with DD it was positive for four days???Quote:

I am glad now that I had the low temps the last couple of days so I didn't get my hopes up too much. I was really feeling confident before that.
Weird though, I haven't had a negative test since I was trying with my first.
Anyway, I may be back in January to try. DH and I have to figure that one out.
Pearl, I really hope you get a bfp this month, I know you've been trying for a bit.
ELP, hope you don't have to wait too long either.
GL to the rest of the ladies, wishing everyone a lot of blue dust!!!!
Sorry to hear that n710. But if it didn't suit to have a baby next fall then having a small baby may have been challenging too. On the plus if you are trying in jan there are a lot of boy mamas that have got their boys after Christmas.
I am 4 dpo today and trying to be as relaxed as possible this month. I will not be testing until after we come back from my parents next Tuesday week, if I get that far AF is due the bank holiday Monday.
n710, I'm so sorry for your bfn xxx I truly hope your DH is on board to try again in January!! As Pearl said alot of boys are January conceptions, one of mine is:agree: The thing with January aswell is that you have all the big holidays in between, so plenty of great eating!! Plus the distraction of getting everything ready for the holidays will put ttc to the back of your mind!! best of luck whatever you decide:luck::)
Pearl, good luck for next weeks testing! Have you had any early signs?? One I get is vivid, scary dreams, apparently its the body getting ready for the responsibilities!!
afm, I think if I have gone back to a 31 day cycle then I should be attempting around the 26th!! I think I am in a good place with my sway as I feel great:) especially with little Dave practically sleeping through, I just have a positive feeling about life in general for the next few months, dreading xmas, but apart from that things are looking up!!
Funny you should mention about the dreams ELP, last night I dreamt I was in hospital having just delivered a baby boy and I was trying to get him on to the boob. No symptoms to speak of yet.
Have fun this week, it looks like you are going to be busy :) and for what it is worth, you have a great sway in place
ELP I just wanted to add that I feel that Jan. is a FAB boy month too..I concieved DS1 in January. Plus, I know this sounds strange, but I totally love the sign thats in Oct...Libra....he is one chilled out very cool dude...DS2 is a taurus and he is all bull! LOL
Whoops i didnt see this, how rude of me! I am feeling ok being preggers finally i am happy. I am having lots of symptoms which is strange to me because i had none with DD. I have joined the Due in March/April/May thread but i am the only 1 hoping for a boy, so i am feeling a little lost on this site to be honest, some of the girl swayers in there have found out they are having boys, and i feel like my odds keep getting lower the more that happens, i know its silly though.Quote:

I am wishing BFP's all around. so excited for all of you TTCing.
I may be back, but can't really be on right now as I need the distractions.
Pearl and ELP, please pm me if you get BFP's. I would love to know and would be so thrilled for you!!!
Cinss I cant wait for your nt scan!! Will you be getting a dvd or recording on a phone or camera?? Please do, I will happily obsess with you over it:agree:!!
I just thought! If my cycles have returned then I should really dust out the opk's! I was thinking of bd tomorrow, my birthday btw everybody:bigsmile: as I may be ov at the weekend! Goodness opk's, it makes things seem so serious?? and scary? Would I really need to add the possibility of m/s to the chaos of organising xmas?? or it is sensible to go for a lucky Jan aswell?? Oh no, cold feet, aaaaargh!!
n710, hopefully we'll see you in January for that little boy xxxxxx
