Probiotics def. sway blue (because they make nutrients that your body can use), antibiotics are also said to sway blue (supposedly because they make more CM and possibly raise vaginal pH).
I'm less convinced on the antibiotic front than I am the probiotic.
Thank you crazycatcouple & atomic!
I have one question though, is it safe to take a probiotic with antibiotics? I know i read that i was recommended to take when a YI occurs. I will test my PH tonight and see where its at after being on antibiotics for two weeks :)
Thanks again for your help!
I know antibiotics will kill your natural intestinal flora. and Pro-biotics will restore them. It was recommended to me to help rebuild. I would buy a good capsule and not those lowsy drinks.. cause those probiotics will be dead before they enter your bowel. cause they aren't natural we don't have those in our bowel naturally.
9DPO today! Feeling nothin. No signs. Only losing Some very white CM.
I expect nothing this month.., any lady's already having signs?
Well, I wouldn't go by symptoms at all!! Last month I had Every pregnancy symptom in the 2ww but got a bfn. In fact, the only thing I didn't get was white cm and that is normally a big early pregnancy sign for me. Besides not having that, I was 100% convinced I was pregnant until af showed her evil head!! Hope it's a good sign for you :-)
Hey guys, me too sister please I was sure I had bfp really bad cramps about 6dpo but no bfn. I am currently 5dpo nothing really so tired but I think that's the diet ...good luck to all testing xxxxx

I know I was exactly the same last month sister. But indeed not this kind of white cm. Had that with the other three. Just don't dare too hope.
With the others I also had this vain on my boob wich is present as An early sign. But its not there.
I really want to wait for a test till saterday or sunday.
Good luck sister please! Test at 12dpo if you can hold out xxx

No real symptoms here either. I got a migraine a few days back and that happened with DD2. I don't get them often. But apart from that nothing. DH said I shld do a test tom to see, but I think I'll hold out til Sunday as AF is due early next week. I have a leftover FRER that I'll save for Sunday morning
I'm not TTC to conceive this month because there are just too many birthdays around Christmas time for us (we have a large extended family and have a big celebration for each one-there are currently 7 birthdays surrounding Christmas!! Gets soooo expensive!!). I like the idea of spreading things out and giving each child their own 'month' if that makes sense :-)
Plus husband works away a lot so realistic next attempt isn't until June!!
Good luck everyone for this month, the 2ww is AWFUL!!!!!
No particular signs for me either except moodiness, feeling quite weak ...as you said kitkat, prob the effect of the le diet or perhaps pmt ...
What is FRER? I didn't realise one can test before AF due date....
I'm about 8dpo I think (CD25) but really doubt our first attempt worked as it was a bit of a shamble with missing the surge...
Hi!
Joining in here too. Got an +opk yesterday and we bd last night. We will stick to one attempt only and I hopefully will O today or tomorrow.
Good luck to all of you who will be testing soon!
Welcome marika!
LaVie the FRER tests are the First Response Early result preg testers. They detect the lowest amount of hcg so will usually give u the earliest result. I have always used them before AF was due and got positive results early. I think the instructions say 5-6 days before it's due, but I still think 2 days before ur due is safest, otherwise u can just waste tests. They are a bit more expensive than regular tests.
@ Dragonmother know anything yet?
Hey ladies! I'm 7dpo today and got that midcycle dip which I'm really hoping is an implantation dip but I'm not very hopeful. I just don't feel like this is the month. I have been very fatigued lately but today I'm feeling back to my normal self. The tricky thing about the 2ww is that any symptoms we get is related to the increase in progesterone so I don't even symptom spot anymore. It's useless. I've had every symptom these past few months. I will just continue to record my temps.
I was concerned about having a Christmas baby but right now I just want a bfp and will continue to try every month until something happens.
Good luck again to all you all!!
Hey!! Sorry, i didn't login much lately..
Omg i had a lot of symptoms the last week; very hungry, aches on the sides of my boobs just like i had when pregnant, even light AF-like cramps on the day i was supposed to have AF.
So i got a little hope, adding the ewcm, plus the cramping on dpo 6 ( possible implantation), and the symptoms.
Yesterday was dpo 18!
But this morning i noticed pinkish cm in my pantys, and did the tampontest: red.
Pfff paniced and tested: negative ofcourse..
I felt a little sad.. Husband and i were getting a little hopeful, but this is not the month for us!
I will read back tonight, just wanted to update : )
Cu soon ladies, we will get our babies! X
Hi ladies.
Due for AF on Sunday and still getting negative HPT. Feeling sad and discouraged because the diet was really tough on me and I don't know how long I can keep it up.
:(
Dragon mother hugs!! 18dpo is such a long LP to then get AF..i can see how you would have your hopes up! What attempt are you on?
Lovinmyboys is this your first month on le?
I found it my hardest now I am more use to it and cope skipping breakfast etc I have been on it 10 weeks.
I am also going through dec/jan/feb which are our are peak hot months but I'm 35 and my youngest DS is 4 so I just want a baby now :)
Mika114 that sounds positive! I had some white cm yesterday which now has my hopes up! Annoying! Good luck to all xxxxx

Hi Kitkat- yes it's our first month TTC. I'm 35 also and my youngest will be 4 next month! Always conceived on our first try so this is throwing me for a loop.
The skipping breakfast part was not an issue but the rest of the diet is really tough!
I'm not giving up all hope just yet!
Good luck all!
Sweatdream and Oncue: exciting!!
How are you doing?
Sister, same for me, had all the symptoms now twice, will try to ignore them from now on! Pff, they mean absolutely nothing, especially when getting off the bcp like i did 2 months ago..
* turning Forcefield on to aches and cramps*
Lovinmyboys...same with me, have always conceived so quickly, it's a running joke in our whole circle of family and friends that my husband only needs to look at me and I'm pregnant! (6 pregnancies in 8 years) But I guess being 37 now and all the swaying stuff is making it more difficult which is shocking. Last month was our first TTC cycle and I totally thought it'd be no problem getting pregnant. Couldn't believe it when af came along in full force!! Reality check!
Dragon mother...it is soooo annoying isn't it?? I just KNeW I was pregnant last month, had every symptom. Can't believe how badly our bodies can play tricks on us like that! Felt like an absolute crazy lady for being so wrong. I mean, I've had 6 babies!! How could I be wrong?? Maybe it's just wanting it so badly this time, with the others it always just happened 'naturally'...
Love the name, sisterplease!
I told all of my friends that we were TTC this month, fully expecting it would happen right away. Ugh. You can't imagine the crazy texts I got from my girlfriends on +OPk day!
I think I'll keep it more on the dl next month. Probably going to taper back on the FR (maybe morning of wasn't such a great idea after all).
Fingers crossed for all of us!!!
Oh no!! Yeah, I've definitely not said a word to anyone, couldn't bear the pressure!!
We did a 7 day abstain and then one attempt with no success. DH not going to have a hot bath next time. And I'll use rephresh the day before rather than the day of. If next attempt doesn't work, we'll forget the abstain too!
Hey guys yes no one knows I am swaying not even my husband ;) thank gawd for this site!! Lovin my boys I conceived both boys first time so I hear you, I am 6dpo and the only thing keeping me going is declining maternal condition is clearly working as we are not as fertile!! That said being vintage I need to decide how long I am willing to be on this diet for. Very dizzy, weak and just blah today! Xxxx

I got af today:-(
Sorry to hear that lilly585. Hopefully next month is ur month.
Kitkat I love that ur DH doesn't know hahahah. When I first told my DH he thought I was crazy, but just goes along with it probably so he doesn't have to hear me talk about! Ditto about having this site!
Good luck everyone for BFPs. Xo
Oncue are you ttc boy or girl? Sorry lilly585 hugs and fixed April is your month xxx
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk
Thanks oncue and kitkat. I really wonder except my first daughter , I never tried to conceive and I alwYs get pg. I have three dd. 2 mc and 3 abortions. Bcz I was afraid I will get another girl. Now my youngest is 8 and I started thinking and dreaming a baby boy again. This forum gave me hope but I will try next month otherwise I will start dieting again.
I hope u guys get your bfps:-)
Oh! Lily85 we can't help gravitating towards our natural tendency to be a he eater or a le eater!! Try a little longer if you can there are great results for boys on here almost 80% though of course no guarantees:) good luck xxx

Yes u r right ! Bcz I was always on diet when I conceived dds. Ps not tryin to conceive . These things make my believe strong on sway., but I m worried on rapid weight gain on he diet.
Oncue is trying to conceive a boy
Lily sorry you got AF...
Kitkat could you be low on potassium. it made me feel like that. I'm trying to up potassium and feel better by that.
I'm feeling a bit bleh too.. but I've got the feeling like AF is coming.. It should come tuesday.. but it feels like I'm getting it like sunday (the days before AF I always feel blowted... my intestens hurts a bit.. I'm a bit windy(this i normally don't have but think diet is responsable for that) and my boobs hurt a bit. wich is sign of AF showing... )
I really feel that I'm not pg this month.
It can be tough, right?
I'm even worried i won't be able to conceive without my superfertile diet( Caveman) when conceiving my lovely son..
I think LE is off. I will just try not snacking and eating as healthy as possible.
In the end of the day, it's more important to conceive at all instead of dieting like crazy and taking you too long to conceive, right?
Or is this a somewhat controversial thought?
Our third round of trying started yesterday. So that's not very long, but i just want to enhance the odds. I want my baby! ;-)
So sorry Lilly :-(Quote:

And they contain lots of pottassium wich makes you feel better.
It works for me. losing weight very slowly though.. but It does do something.
I just hope it sways for me. this is our last baby.
and my second month. I will skip stuff if I'm not PG but Diet and excercise will be PRIO 1. I would start with bd 4 day cut off first instead of FR And 1 attemp.
It can stil be. but I don't think it is.
(I'm sorry for spellingmistakes.)
Hey kitkat, we are TTC blue. I believe the HE diet is probably easier to adapt to in terms of just adding more of everything. I don't think I have a very LE diet normally, but I definitely have more LE tendencies, like I'll have coffee for breakfast, and I don't really snack. I have a tendency to gain weight quickly so the HE diet has been rather depressing. Actually when I conceived DD1 it was on our honeymoon so I had been dieting in the lead up to our wedding and DD2 was while I was breastfeeding.
Dragonmother I agree that if it's taking too long to conceive ur better off actually being able to get pregnant than worrying about dieting. I guess u have to consider how long it's taking and how much you want ur DG, as good as swaying can be it isn't fool proof.
Hopefully everyone gets a BFP soon and we can all feel better :)
