Yes let's hope and pray, I am feeling rather weak tired and jittery sometimes through lack of a proper diet maybe or I might be recovering still from birth lol! 3 mths ago I don't know! Anyway are any of you going to use lubes? I am starting next month my first attempt but never used lubes have no idea on how to use them lol! I have got Aci jel and Rephresh anyone using them? :confused:
Flowergirl, i think i swayed blue with Clomid because we BD right at my ovulation. I went every second day in the hospital so my gyn told me when my ovulation was coming.
And i ate cereals, lots of sweet, allways when passing the fridge or store i looked inside for some chocolate od bisquits...
Allways big breakfasts...
So right now i'm heaving a hard time not eating any sweets of candy! But thinking of a baby girl is what keeps me going!
So you have long cycles as well...Me too unfortunately...My last one was 36 days...I'm on fertility friend and recording to my temp i will have my period after 28 days...I hope so but don't think so.
So i'm hoping to do an attempt after 3 weeks but i'm not sure!
Lolo, i bought RePHresh...When conceiving my 2 boys i often had vaginal infections so i think that my PH was too high...
Thanks girls for keeping the spirit up! So happy we can talk ourselfs through this!
Yes Lolo, I want to use repHresh and sylk but also very unfamiliar with what to do! From the sounds of things repHresh is one you apply regularly (every 3 days?) in the lead up to TTC and sylk is one you use whilst DTD. I'll have to become familiar with what to do there!
I'm also feeling super weak som days and lack energy from the diet. I'm also less tolerant because I'm always hungry - hating that side to it! Trying desperately to be a 'carefree girl mummy' but hunger makes me feel uptight :sad:.
Dutchgirl, I'm up to day 42 of my cycle now (ridiculous). I saw my doctor yesterday and she has let me have my bloods done now to start the ball rolling with bringing on AF and hopefully I she'll prescribe clomid if my results show I need it. I'm hoping my weightloss and diet changes are enough to pull me through with clomid. I'll do the jellies but undecided on frequency or the day/s to DTD. You feel like you go your DS from BD on ov? Although I've always been vegetarian I did eat in more of a HE friendly plus DTD on ov (I think!) with my boys but I also had long cycles then so not entirely sure of timing. I didn't have clomid then though so that's a pretty major difference.
So now the wait for my blood test results begin. :fingers: my fingers and toes are crossed I can start clomid in Feb and have our first attempt! Ekk! Scary/exciting all in one!
Hi flowergirl & Dutchgirl, I feel for you I hope you get this sorted what a stress it must be, like you said try really hard not to get stressed by it, and visualise girl in your head and hopefully it will get u through. I am very much the veggie, was skipping breakfast but eating more high nutrients I would on times and snacking without realising I did the shettles method I also think I did it too near the O. I was also taking calcium/mag supplements and high dose of folic acid months leading up to it, I don't know about u ladies I feel in such a rush to try and complete my dream cos of age/health probs/money I am so hoping it will happen this year whilst I am in baby mode I am working already as have too we can't afford for me to be off at all. And we r struggling already I love my other son and new baby with all my heart and wouldn't change them for the world but part of me feels selfish having this burning desire to have a daughter and its not to dress her in pink, but to hopefully have a mother and daughter bond I have never exprienced before its makes me feel so desparate I feel my hole life is on hold until this happens this is our last chance we can't do it again I feel my happiness is on this I am crazy!! does anyone else feel this way?? I think it's a good idea to vent our thoughts here this will stop our stress levels getting out of control lol! :luck::wink: Xxxxx
Lolo, it's so hard having this wish and not knowing wheter the dream will come out or not...I understand your feelings very well...
Flowergirl, super that your blood is tested! I hope you will get Clomid soon. It's all coming a bit closer now!
I'm kinda freaking out right now! My period has arrived! After only 24 days!
I think it's because of the Vitex that i'm taking, 800 mg a day..So i'm going to take only have of that..
I'm on the diet for nearly 4 weeks and this month we will do our first attempt..I'm so scared!
We will be doing a combi of compressed frequent release and abstaining. Plus all the supps, J&D and RePHresh...And a lots of prayers...
It's a bit awkward, but sometimes i feel like there's a little girl waiting for me...So i went to the chapel and put a candle there for her...
AAAHHHHHH TODAY Marks Exactly Three Weeks out from our First Attempt... Getting SO Nervous and Excited at the same time! Can't believe it's almost here, getting so close. :holysheep::nails::pray::bigsmile::cheer::eek:
Goodlk ladies for your attempt soon!!! Agh!! It terrifies me too especially having a baby already, I am now going to start mine in march so it gives me alittle time longer on the diet and that's the best month to start with for swaying pink, anybody know what type of alcohol is best for pink?? Xxxxx
Wow Seamaiden!
I thought acid wine...
Girls, what do you suggest? FR or abstaining?
Dutchgirl, I think fr release to good for older Dh they say, younger ones Dh suit Abstaining although I could wrong mayb send a message to Atomic xxx
The snacking!!! Arghh...
The craving is scary almost, lol..
I cheated or twice, not feeling guilty.
Some things can't be ignored ; )
Exciting: think i had my o; then bd that day.
But i don't trust these ovulationtests completely, not sure which result is a certain peak! I guess it was the two darkest stripes.
How are you checking O?
The waiting has started!
Where are you ladies in your cycle now?
Hi Dragonmother, I'm on cycle day 45 which is a bit depressing! I've had blood tests done and will get my results tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping to be prescribed provera and clomid to jump start a bleed and hopefully help bring on ovulatulation.
I'm also pretty unsure on how I'm going to pinpoint ovulation because since monitoring my cycles (since Sept 2013) I've never had a pos OPK and I know charting my temp isn't for me with risk of raising testosterone plus I am quite wakeful in the early early hours of the morning so I don't think it would be accurate. I do have a baby maybe to test ferning so I may do that plus OPK's and hope it shows a positive once I start on clomid. Atomic has suggested I BD every 4 days and hopefully one time falls in the fertile window.. Although that doesn't really fall into FR or abstain :shrug: I'm thinking that could be the least stressful way to get an attempt in.
Lolo, why is March best for pink? Are you in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere? I was thinking about timing the provera and clomid (if I get it!!) so I ovulate around the new moon. I thought that's the way my cycles were going (day 14 fell on the new moon) until this silly loooong cycle.
SeaMaiden, that is so exciting I can't wait to have a definite countdown!! Ekk!
Dutchgirl, Yay! I know, I'm so happy the wheels are in motion by getting the blood test done. Now I'm just PRAYING I'm a good candidate for clomid :pray: I get the results and see the doctor tomorrow so I'll let you all know what happens. Can you please elaborate a little on what a combination of "compressed FR & abstaining" entails? What would be your BD pattern? I'm really trying to get my head around the frequency stuff to decide what is best for us :think:
I had a little cry about my deep desire for my own little baby girl to love last night. I so know what you mean Lolo and Dutchgirl. It's really hard wanting something so badly but not knowing if it's ever going to come true. Gosh I wish it wasn't such an uncertain dream.. xxx
My fingers are crossed for your Clomid Flowergirl!
We choose frequent release, so DTD every day, or maybe twice..I'll help hubby with that. And then when i got a possitive OPK do BD once, maybe again after 2 days. And that's it. We are trying to hav less sperm, that will sway pink. You can allso abstain for 7-10 days but my hubby doesn't like that.
I'm ready to join you ladies!
I've been on LE for 5 weeks and exercising for the last 2 days, so about 6 weeks left until first attempt. I need to figure out when to drop my BCP, going to keep breastfeeding my 3 year old (only once a day) and trying to keep the stress, debates and video games down.
I'm really thinking about quitting the BCP right now, since that'll bring on a period in the next few days, and I should have a full cycle without trying, then try the next one. That should put me 6 weeks out.
So I guess I'll be trying for a late March BFP. Good luck to everyone here!
Flowergirl, i hope you get your Provera and Clomif to get things going for you!
Do you have irregular cycles?
No other signs of O like pain in the abdomen or cm?
I just had my attempt!!!
Thursday i suddenly had a very dark ovulation test. Bd that day, but because of Atomic's advice to bd every 4 days ánd on day of pos opk i had babydanced 2 days earlier as well..Friday the ( new) test was already faded.
And yesterday i couldn't avoid it, hubbie was on a roll ; )
So.. I hope this wasn't too bad, the waiting started!
I wish us all a lot of girly luck!
And would like to stay updated : )
Ohh! How exciting Dragonmother! How do you feel? Was it nerve wracking finally having an attempt?
I have some happy news! AF finally arrived today (was on day 46) and I was prescribed clomid! So happy, I feel like I can finally concentrate on our attempts now. So, now to decide what cycle day to start the clomid and our bd pattern. I'm thinking of starting clomid day 3 or 4 and bd every four days from day 8 onwards and hoping I get an attempt in the fertile window.
Did you use repHresh dragon?
How is everyone else going? X
That's great Flowergirl!!
No worries about that anymore!
Wow, Clomid.. I have no experience with that..
Maybe somebody else here might know when to take it, Atomic will surely know
: )
On to the next step for you!:cheerteam:
I was a bit nervous and excited, now i am trying to tell myself it might take a while to get pregnant in the first place..
But definately excited! The waiting has begun! X
Ps: did'nt use Rephresh, thought it would have the potential of raising my T because of the timing. Really hoping my ph stayed low-ish despite the bding.. :think:
I think I'm going to take first clomid tablet tomorrow. I did try and get feedback regarding my 'plan' for this month but haven't had any response yet so will just go with my instinct.
Can't believe its actually happening!
That's an interesting point re: repHresh and timing dragon. I do think trying to figure out what to take and do and when is a bit overwhelming and stress inducing! I hope I haven't raised too much T trying to determine our BD pattern and special potions. It's so hard when you want something so badly...
Would you like to explain what Clomid does?
Im worried that our bding has kept me too alkaline now..
On the other hand; lots of women in the ' how we got our girls' thread that got their girls bding daily : )
I came down with a flu yesterday and today.
This may help swaying right?
Or would it be ' better' around o?
( i know, it sounds silly)
Wouldn't it be great to have a T-meter at home?:D
Hope you hear from Atomic soon!
Me too! Have have a few questions that I've sent through but she hasn't been able to get back to me. I'm now also worried that there's something wrong because I've just have a two day pretty weak period when mine are usually heavy and 7 days long.. Clomid worsens your lining over time so it's a bit of a concern for me that somehow my lining has already weakened? I wonder if vitex and saw palmetto can have that effect?
Clomid is used to help people with long irregular cycles that don't usually ovulate on their own. It also creates a hostile environment so quite a 'girl friendly' medication. I needed to get blood tests done and consult with my doctor for a number of months before I was able to get it. I hope I ovulate this month!
I'm really unsure about how much you need to worry about frequency and pH stuff. I'm sure you'll be fine and I'm really thinking the coming down with the flu is a good sign that your body is ready for a pink one :)
Dragonmother, you had your attemp, great! How exciting!
Flowergirl, super dat you got Clomid! Hope for you that your O comes a bit quicker now. Good luck!
I go with my instict as well en quit with the Vitex right now. I don't want to O too soon this cycle, and with the Vitex it will come around this weekend. So that's too soon for me. It would be perfect if i O around next week wednesday of so. So i hope it will make my cycle a little longer again..
Since yesterday i take a glass of wine every evening. Not my favourite, but quite acid...Everything for a little girl!
AF is HERE! TODAY... AAAHHHHH The official 14 day countdown! :holysheep: *Nervous Jitters*
AF is HERE! TODAY... AAAHHHHH The official 14 day countdown for our very first BD attempt - Ever! :holysheep: *Nervous Jitters*
Yeay Seamaiden! :fx:
I'm kinda freaking out... I got a positive OPK but a thin line. I'm only on day 6 of my cycle!
But AS was able to calm me down, so i keep on testing and hopefully BD on sunday. Whaaa!!!
Ahh dutchgirl! That's so exciting! This could be it!!!
We have our first attempt tomorrow (omg!). I'm only in cycle day 8 so I'm guessing it will be a bit of practise run for us but still it's pretty crazy to think in another 4 days we attempt again and it might be time! All very exciting :)
Super Flowergirl!
Here is day 9 of my cycle and no O on its way, so i'm glad.
Hopefully it will come by wednesday or thursday. Today i am excacly fir 5 weeks on the diet!
GOOD LUCK LADIES!!! :cheer: Mine is coming soon... About a week out from O now. :holysheep:
Hi ladies, haven't had chance to get on here :(( but my thoughts are always on here lol! Gd luck with all your attempts ;)))) I have had some major money stresses lately prob not gd for my T levels, lol! Had thoughts thinking is this the right thing to do all the time!!! I want it so bad it's untrue and my husband feels the same he says dont worry about money! I do all the worrying for us lol!! We r Having an attempt next month have fallen off the wagon a few times with the diet there has been party's and so, anyway I am crapping myself over DTD lol! I am going to use Replesh haven't had a practice run yet atomic says for us not too because of our age! But I can always drop it! I seem to have more cm than I have noticed before, so I might use Sudafed from Af to O. I am wondering how the hell am going to cope with two babies if I get a bfp and a child with having to go back to wrk again straight away and no help at all I suppose women do it all the time :))) you just get through it don't you!!! Xxxxx
You can do it dear. You will figure it out. You don't always have to have all the answers right away. We all stress about money and how are we going to do it and is it the right time. My husband and I are going through the same questions and doubts right now too, esp considering this is our very first so we have a million unknowns... BUT if you wait for the "perfect" time, you'll be waiting forever. :HH:
Thanks Seamaiden86, very true!! This our last chance! You only get one life, I don't want to regret it!! How is everyone getting on?? My GD haunts me every bloody day!! I totally adore my baby boy and I wouldn't swap him for the world, all life is precious and wanted, I just wish I could let it go but I can't I just don't feel complete inside but trying to accept that what will be will be, we have hope & desire to get us through it xxx
11DPO today... Just returned from vacation, and still hoping and praying. I know a lot of women have seen bfps by this time in their cycle, but I haven't given up hope yet. Still no AF (due in 3 days but I usually start spotting a few days in advance) Plus, some other minor symptoms. :) Hoping it isn't my imagination or wishful thinking. LOL
Hi ladies, how are we all??? I have some news I got a BPF!!!! this morning I actually can't not believe it!!! The due date will be on my 40th birthday what a present!!!! Lol! I am slightly nervous as we only had one attempt!! 5 days before O. My t levels I am sure where thru the roof as we have had a lot of money stresses, but anyway I just hope I have a healthy pink or blue in there and close sibling for my 5 month old, I will have to be Intouch with my doctors as the medications I take for my stomach condition can cause miscarriage and I was seen monthly thorough my pregnancy last time! I hope you all get your bfp soon too!!! Goodluck ladies xxxxxx
Congrats lolo!! How exciting, and what an awesome birthday present a healthy little baby will be! :)
Hi ladies, how are you all doing?? Xx
Hi ladies, I hope you are all good? I have some news I wanted to share with you I had a nifty test/scan and the results came back today with low risk and its a GIRL!!!!! I have been in complete shock since and her due date will be on my birthday what a present from god, I want to say thankyou for all your support and help on here Atomic has been my life line to this without her I would not be complete as sad as that sounds the longing I have had for a mother and daughter relationship has been tough as I don't have that with mine, but I will get to experience it after all, amazing I will be still lurking on here and please let me know if you have any news too share lots of love
Congrats Lolo! 👍
Hi Ladies! Hope I can join in? I was on here a few months ago TTC but didn't fall pregnant so took a break and now I'm back and ready to give it another go. I have 2 boys, youngest is 2yo and in full on tantrum mode...OMG!! We are TTC a girl. So back on the LE diet which will be hard as I am now a SAHM and I tend to snack all day.
I was back on the pill for a few months as my cycles were irregular and I finished the last pack 2 weeks ago. Something weird happened though, normally I have a 6 day period but not this time...it was only 3 days :/ I'm guessing my body was just adjusting so I don't want to TTC this month as I want to see what my body does and let it get back to normal. So we will probably start trying in July or August. :D
