And I'm back...looks like a chemical pregnancy/early loss. Which is okay. It didn't seem that sad in light of what else we were dealing with. My dear friend passed over the weekend and I am doing his eulogy on Thursday. To be honest, I would be worried about being pregnant right now. I am not sleeping, not eating much or well, just generally in grief, so I wouldn't want to worry about harming the baby on top of that. (Which sounds awful when I read it like that, I just mean that I am okay not being pregnant for those reasons, not that I'd wanted that to happen). I'm not sure if we will try again right away or wait a month or two. I see benefits to both, but I'm not sure what we will pick. I'm not really thinking Bout it much right now. Thanks for the support. This site is fabulous in that regard.

:( hugs hotdogz, having just been in one of those double whammy losses myself, I can feel your pain. It's good you're focusing on the positive, that's what's helped me the most the last 6 months or so.

Hi Ladies! Hope I can join in? Accidently posted this in the Jan-Mar thread yesterday..opps. 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.

When are you planning on trying?
Starting August or september
Have you started to sway yet?
Easing into it, no snacking, no breakfast
Vegetarian diet, once a week chicken (still in LE limits)
Diet Coke, yoplait light, daily alcohol
Baby Aspirin, fiber, folic acid, Zyrtec
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own?
Have my sway pretty well planned but might get a plan from atomic just for peace of mind and to keep my stress levels down.
Which gender are you hoping for?
Girl
Any concerns you have currently?
If its a boy I'll be a bit disappointed, but I know I'll love him just as much as my other two. DH really want a girl so of this third one is a boy i really hope we can adopt a daughter for our 4th and be done.

Hi Mars, Welcome! I also have 2 boys 4 and 22 months and both are really pushing buttons lately. Of course everytime there is a scene DH says this is why he doesn't want 3, forgetting that this phase will be over eventually. But I'm still hoping he gets on board by next month when I want to start TTC. I do all the heavy lifting so to speak with the kids, and I'm going to suggest a few things which might make things a bit less stressful for him. We'll see.

Junie our boys are the same age, my eldest is 4 :) My DH is ok with it, he is happy to do whatever but I think this is due to him thinking with his privates and not thinking past the actual sex part lol!! He comes from a family of 4 kids where as I come from a family of 2 kids and I always wanted another sibling.
I'm a tad scared how I will cope with 3 but the desire is there and I will always be left wondering so we are going to give it a shot plus I love being pregnant. I dreamt the other night I had a baby at it was a boy but he was gorgeous so I hope this helps if I do get gender disappointment again but we have decided we won't find out the sex for our third and final baby :)
I am currently waiting for DH to get home so we can have tea, I am starving which I know is good but jees I could really do with tea soon!!!
-
My DH is one of three and I used to want 6 kids ( before I had any LOL) So it doesn't come as a surprise to him that I want one more but he just gets really bothered by little toddler things like being messy when they eat, fussing when they can't say how they feel, etc. I think DH just isn't really a baby guy but they don't stay little forever :)

Hello Ladies,
I am officially going LE food shopping today yay!! I plan on TTC this August, I have already been doing my cardio, skipping breakfast and trying to keep my food LE.. Having a very hard time with no red meat, we usually have it 4 times a week.. Thegood thing is we will be saving money not buying so much lol..I love veggies, rice and pasta :) I read a lot of Atomics meals and other members and have a lot of great ideas Thanks to everyone who has posted their meals! I am currently 165lbs and Im 5'4 with a BMI of 28.3 (sigh) I have struggled with weight loss for the past 4 years mostly from BC.. I am BC free and hopefully will be able to drop some lbs 1 to be healthier and 2 for TTC a baby girl :) DH is on board he said he is okay with eating less red meat, he is also ok with taking some supplements :)... I am 26, and he will be 30 this coming october. Now I just hope my 2 younger boys behave while we go to the grocery store ;) haha!
