oh you get a scan every month!! I would love to see the baby every month.. I started feeling the movements from last week.. I do freak out if I dont feel it for a half day.. that happened with me yesterday! i was almost in tears bcoz i couldn’t feel the movement until after lunch time.. I guess baby is still too tiny for me to feel all the moves.. or changed the position that i couldn’t feel much as before. I wish I had something with me check whenever I can.
LMSM - wish all the luck .. this is ur month ..
Jamama - i had bad cramp that wakes me up from my sleep when I ovulate… certain months it was bad. Wish you good luck with this cycle… this will both ur cycle fx
Treens- how u feeling? i am feeling better with Nausea.. but i cant still stand chicken and onion

Jazmin - depending on position of baby and of placenta, movement can be felt very much or very little - and you're right, baby is still small so they can easily hide still :)
My DD4, I had an anterior placenta (in the front) so it acted as a cushion and could barely feel her, (and I've always felt my babies very very early) it was very disconcerting! What is important is to pay attention to your baby's pattern: if that changes, then you should get checked out. Babies often are most active when WE rest, and resting when WE are active so if the baby is quiet when you're active, it's likely normal ;)
Have you got regular midwife appointments? could you get maybe a doppler to find the baby's heartbeat even if bub is otherwise quiet?
Well, after feeling ick for a couple of days, a temp that stayed high and no pre AF spotting - took a test yesterday at approx 9/10 dpo… and there’s a second line , so looks like it worked :)
Praying for a healthy sticky baby !!:nails::babym::bluesperm::xy::omg::bluecheer:

Thanks, Atomic. I finished the antibiotics and went back for a checkup, and they found everything was ok, no more fluid. Though I might still get a second opinion on that cos the guy who did the scan for me seemed a bit distracted.Quote:

few more weeks anyway. Someone asked me if i am tired and that I look tired.. and I said yes and she was like its a girl.. its a girl .. I am sure its a girl.. I just smiled and walked away.. !! had nothing to say.. she knows that i have 2 girls and I was thinking why is she even commenting on gender already. ssoo yes.. there are people like that.. and I was at peace while the bump was hidden.. but now it started to show.
Anyways I am just going to enjoy my pregnancy as I am not working this time.. i did for previous two. [emoji4]
Hope you feeling better.
I was also in antibiotics the cycle I Conceived.. I had chest infection and we just continued with BD.. as usual.. didnt want to skip… n here we are [emoji2]
wishing you all the luck.. and praying for your bfp.. xx

LMSM congratulations! what wonderful news! Wishing you a healthy little pregnancy with the little boy for yoru dreams!
Thank you all!! Going to the GP today so hoping to confirm via bloodtest.
I think he usually likes to get a scan done around 6 weeks to confirm viability before referring me to the midwifery program at the hospital..eeek!

lol so true. I have been tricked few times now. i did look at the doppler but they r either very expensive or the cheap once have bad reviews .Quote:

For the Doppler - which ones did you see ? I bought one for my first ( after 2 years to get and stay pregnant I was veeerh anxious!) but it’s not working anymore - think we left batteries in it which melted oops
9djamama - where are you at? hope all is ok? xx
Where are the swayers all hiding? :D
Hi hi LMSM [emoji16]Quote:

As for me, AF just ended. I'll be very busy this month, so I'll probably not think too much about ttc.
I also started working out again, cos it helps me fight stress. I wish I could lose some weight but I haven't been successful yet. Sometimes I wish I was swaying pink so that I'll force myself to really put in the work [emoji1787].
Wishing you all healthy pregnancies and adorable babies [emoji3059][emoji847]

haha morning sickness was my first clue that I might be pregnant - luckily I started Unisom quickly and it takes the edge off so it is still manageable - and can eat! I just have things that I really feel satisfy me while others are as bland as rocks LOL
I've had no energy though & cramping bad (I have an irritable uterus so that is normal for me) so working out is out of the question - hoping to get back to it even slowly so I don't end up looking like a whale
Hi ladies!
I am gearing up to attempt in (very end of) December and I am SO nervous. I have two sons and desperately want a baby girl. I feel petrified lol. I want a third baby regardless but I wont lie, I will have major GD if I have another boy. Anyone else TTC in the next few months? My youngest turns 1 in two weeks! I want them to be about 2+ years apart.
Hi Mary, nice to have you here. A lot of the ladies here are already pregnant [emoji4]. We may have to start a new forum to chat about TTC. I can't seem to be able to do that from my end, but if you can, I think that'll be helpful.Quote:

I'm swaying boy, and I've had 3 attempts within the fertile days. I'll try to add one more attempt (fingers crossed) tomorrow. I don't use opks cos they have never worked for me, and I don't even know why [emoji848].
Good luck to you Mary.

Wishing you ladies all the best!
Tips on us getting pregnant, I believe helped if anyone is having a hard time. Just what I think worked for me or helped.
The cycle that I got pregnant I was going to chiropractor approx every 2 weeks, getting massages every 7-10 days and did 2 acupuncture sessions CD5 & CD15 of a 26 day cycle. I feel like if i was aligned and in my best body health it couldn't hurt.
For getting a girl I really believe it is the missing breakfast and fasting through the night and not snacking only eating 3 times a day but still enough calories in. Just wanted to add my 2 cents I know there is much more but this is what I really believe helps a lot!
Best of luck to all!
Marypritchard22- Have you started swaying yet or getting used to eating patterns or what is your plan? Wishing you your perfect little girl!
Best of luck on your attempts 9jamama01! Wishing your your healthy baby boy!
Thanks for the tip! I have been dieting and skipping breakfast for about 3 weeks now. I will continue until my attempt! I will probably go for end of Dec or end of Jan. I'm having some inner turmoil about having another baby when my youngest is so little. I don't want to rob him of anything but I am 32 and I wanted to have all my children before 30 (I had infertility issues that prevented that) I want to have all my babies asap but I also don't want to be unfair to my little boy. I love him so much. My oldest is 13 - I had an accidental teen pregnancy with him. He's a lot older so I don't have as much guilt about adding another. My youngest isn't even 1 until the end of this month!! I am rambling now lol.
I am just hoping to add a little girl to my family.
My plan is keto/low carb, exercise + clomid! I have to be low carb due to an autoimmune issue. I won't have a sticky pregnancy without it. I know that keto can sway blue but I don't have an option! I'm hoping since it keeps my blood sugar low + clomid I'll be in pink zone. I want a girl so badly. I really hope it happens!
Wishing you all the best mary! I think it sounds like a great plan. :)
any updates ladies? ;)
I'll be coming back here in a few months - my baby no longer has a heartbeat - MMC so waiting for things to happen though it's been 1.5 weeks since its heart stopped and by body hasn't recognised it so will try to get a D&C if I can.
Hopefully once I am healed I can come back here - I'm hoping early 2024
So sorry to hear this ❤️
Sending love and healing, I am so sorry you have to go through this.
Im so sorry LMSM I’ve been through this twice [emoji174] my heart goes out to you [emoji3525] sending love [emoji3590]Quote:

Remember - protein + carbs = boys. If you need a keto diet for health when swaying pink, it ~can~ work, it's just that so many people cheat on keto diets and end up in boy zone that I don't recommend it unless someone is willing to really stick to it!Quote:

Djamama - I will let Atomic comment but I do think that is quite a high dose of fish oil (1.2g = 1200mg) ;)
Oh LMSM, how are you doing? What's the update with you?
The dosage confused me a bit, so I wonder if I can just one pill instead of 2.
Sent from my SM-A225F using Tapatalk
I think the max recommended dose is 500 so if you do half a dose to get to 600ng that may be ok - have you bought them already or just looking at them?
I’m ok - waiting for my cycles to resume eagerly so I can get back to tracking and into TTC mindset and planning - I need to be able to move on and look ahead or I will just ruminate on the dark sad stuff :(
Anyone around here?
Still waiting for my cycles to resume, just want to move on and ahead...should have been 13.5weeks now :(
At least, the end of year chaos (school finishes for summer break at the end of this week here in Australia) keeps me somewhat busy!
Where is everyone at? :)
I’m still around LMSM [emoji3526] how are you feeling? Here in ireland we’ve Xmas break in 2 1/2 weeks and I’m looking forward not having to rush out in the cold every morning [emoji28] sending hugs!!!Quote:
