April/May/June 14 swayers...

Hi girls, I agree this is such an active thread - hard to keep up. If you miss a day, you've missed a lot lol.

I'm cd10 and have seen yellow cm when I wipe. (TMI) - It's too early and I've no idea what to expect - I figure I'm gonna just wing it and see if I get anywhere.

So far, I've been on diet since Jan, though not strict as I've had plenty of cheat days; I've been able to work out pretty regularly but again, not super intense. I took vitex and SP for the last 2 cycles but did not this cycle to throw things off a bit and have been sipping on Peppermint tea a lot. FA & Zyrtec are the only 2 pills I've been taking regularly and Equate brand Fiber therapy sometimes.

I've lost good 10-15 pounds but am still not my adult lowest so that makes me nervous a bit. I'm gonna try and lose as much as I can this week!

Hubby has been taking LR & OLE for the most part but other than that, not doing anything. He's always been a vegetarian so that part is taken care of lol.

Nervous and excited at the same time! EEEks..

yay lyagirl you can be my couch potato buddy! looks like we're only two not working out! like you I was really fit when I conceived my boys.
wow odd yellow cm is a really good sign Fingers crossed!

Hoping this is my last period for 9 months, I hate it! haha

Lol I was thinking the same Rosie. I had to stop taking my fish oil tablets as AF was too heavy. Bring on the bfp's!

I'm worried about my sway attempt now. Dh's cold has gone, now I have it :(

I will take your cold! In two weeks, lol. My youngest was sick but nobody else got the cold from him. Maybe it will wait a couple weeks for me. Hope you feel better soon!!

oh and I wouldn't overly worry about the sway since you are surely taking in a lot of vitamins, maybe just up them during your sickness.

Last period! hopefully for all of us I love yere optimism! Boysway you'll be fine This is your month too I can feel it!
I have really bad cramping just above my pubic area, back and hip bone today Please be a good sign!
Rosie hope your little man gets better soon.

Please do take my cold. I was called into nightshift last night. I spent the whole shift sneezing and blowing my nose :( my attempt is just over two weeks away:(

Boysway hope you feel better soon - if the attempt is 2 weeks hopefully enough time to get rid of the cold and massively improve your condition. Definitely take those vitamins and eat as much high nutrient food as poss. If you like fruit, blueberries, mangoes, freshly squeezed orange juice are all high vitamin c and high nutrient. I also swear by manuka honey. Not sure if you have berocca or any effervescent vitamin c/immune system tablets where you are? I used to use buckets of these before.

Ignore if you have seen it!
Got my BFP today after two faint lines with the cheapies and I couldn't capture them on camera...but used the CB digital and ta da!!

Hi Friends, I can't keep up with this thread!

To remind you- I am swaying blue after swaying with a pregnancy ended up in MC.

I was curious what the boy mom's Dh's were like- did they do all of the things/have characteristics of having high sperm count? My DH has been hit hard by illnesses and major back pain so we are taking a break to restore sperm health.

We conceived all of our pregnancies in 1-3 months, so I bet he has a normal count, and I have normal fertility, but I'd love your thoughts!

SpicyTunaSushi - I am sorry to hear of the MC. Hope you get a healthy, sticky blue bean soon - sending my blue dust :)

As for DH I'm not sure what his count is but we conceived DS on the 3rd cycle of trying. When we started TTC I had him take green tea, vitamin C and Zinc supplements every day. We also BD every 1.5 days in the fertile window to max sperm count. So - my pos OPK was on the Monday and we had BD Thursday night, Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon and Monday evening. We sometimes used preseed but I didn't always need it back then as I had loads of ewcm so not sure if it was used any of those times (I was taking green tea, evening primrose oil from AF-O and flaxseed oil O-AF - I wasn't aware that you shouldn't take flaxseed oil then.) Now of course he is taking no supplements (well he bought vitamin D in January which I was not happy about but without me to remind him I bet he hasn't taken them), and we are going for one attempt in the fertile window if it ever opens lol.

Also - just to add he loves hot baths which I banned when we last TTC!

Wondering if my O date is off this evening. I should be DPO 4, got pink tinged CM just now..TMI, but just barely pink with like one r two bring red speckles. Midcycle spotting isn't normal for me.

Unwirlich sounds like implantation spotting?? FX xx

Hi spicytuna Well I have three boys and conceived them all first time ttc so maybe my dh has a high sperm count, don't know really. He's a little overweight (sorry dh!!) and doesn't exercise apart from gardening. Eats lots of red meat and drinks lots of soda which I have since banned him from!!
On another note got my af today on cd21 so for this new cycle I'm giving up vitex which is playing havoc with my cycle.

unwirklich Hope it's implantation spotting for you Good luck!!

Congrats Flowerlily!!!

I haven't been on in a couple days so forgive me if I don't play catch-up with everything. I have too much to do for today to read back. Hope everyone is well!

Flowerlily congrats!!!
Rosie I hope your ds had fun at his party! Yayyyy for attempting soon!
unwirklich I hope it's implantation spotting!
steph I hope all is well and all it requires to kick start af is a pill or two
afm exercising is really taking a toll on my right knee, it's slightly swollen and making crackling noises as I walk, the pain isn't bad so I am going to stick with it. We are celebrating our anniversary this upcoming weekend so from Friday to Sunday I will be eating whatever I want whenever I want.

marriedmom sounds like a nice weekend coming up Enjoy every bit of it! At least you can take a break from exercising too. I'm having a 'eat all round me' day today since af showed up unexpectedly and I'm taking full advantage of my extra chocolate cravings! Plus Easter Sunday is only 6 days away Bring on the chocolate eggs!!

Sorry about the aunt flo Daisy. Did you double check that it isn't heavy implantation??

Married- my legs are literally falling apart! My knees and my ankles and my hips are killing me every time I exercise. I fear I won't be able to keep doing it if I don't get pregnant this time around. I took a few days off and now that I am about 12 days off my attempt I am going to try and exercise every single day except Easter.

Daisy, if your on a full dose you may try a half if you'd prefer not drop it. Vitex screwed me up bad at 2 pills a day as the bottle indicated too, one pill seemed help me be more normal.

Married, what type of exercise are you doing? Maybe you could find something less intense on your joints, swimming maybe?

AFM, I hope so, DPO4 would just be super early for that, O was kind of weird this month and no spotting this morning. I think O could have been anywhere from CD 13 to CD 15 where FF tagged it. I had the more than one positive OPK from the clomid. My temp was actually lowest at CD 14 and then slowly rose after that.

daisy that sounds like fun lol, chocolate is my weakness
Rosie I'm doing 5 days a week so hoping that will be enough
unwirklich unfortunately that's not possible. I don't think I could survive swimming a full hour anyway lol

Rosie I so wish it was implantation but it's too heavy. Just told my dh we're out this month as he said he must have lost his touch! Aw bless! I'll stick at it for maybe one or two more months then I think I'll go back to eating the way I used to just so we can hopefully have a stronger chance of getting pregnant.
Unwirklich do you still have spotting? I do hope it's your month for catching that pink egg! I take 400mg vitex morning and night but definitely going to skip it from now on.
Rosie and marriedmom fair play to ye for sticking at the exercise It will all pay off!

Sent from my GT-S5369 using Tapatalk 2

Ah, yeah I looked my vitex capsules are 400 too, and your supposed to take 2 a day, so you're already on a half dose. Plenty of girls have been conceived without vitex. I wouldn't worry too much :)

I only had the one time last night with the spotting, nothing today. Makes me hopeful, cause in the past when I have had mid-cycle spotting on rare occasions (I think I had low progesterone pre-sway) it's never been just like one drop of blood like this.

I bet it is implantation than unwirk!! Exciting! Can't wait to find out for sure!

I have experienced implantation spotting before (with my MC cycle). It was one day, and then disappeared. ;) gl!

Best of luck unwirklich I've got everything crossed for you!!

Sent from my GT-S5369 using Tapatalk 2

I know this happened cause I vowed I wasn't testing until DPO 10 this time lol I've already caved and voted for DPO 8. I figure that gives me at least 2 full days between the spotting and testing since it was late sunday and I'd test early weds.

Yeah I would say if you had spotting waiting 48 hours will give you a positive test if it was implantation.

Hi ladies - sorry I can't keep up either, there is way too much activity in this thread! GL to all those who are attempting this month and congrats to those with a BFP!

spicytuna - We were doing things to improve sperm count when we conceived my DS. My DH wears boxer briefs (no tight underpants), no hot bath for ~month before we TTC, no smoking, not very much heavy drinking, and we were BD every other day (I think this pattern sways blue/improves sperm count). We got pg on our first cycle TTC, but no clue if that means he has high sperm count. TMI alert, but my DH has VERY high sex drive (most days wants to BD 2x/day if we have time) and I feel like this might also mean high sperm count/high T levels, but I have no idea.

@bluebonnet- you must be from Texas! :) Yes, I would say your DH has a high sex drive, that's a good thing.

I'd say my DH does too- usually every 3-4 days or so he starts to get eager. We do all of those things you mentioned to up sperm. I think his sperm must be good because we conceived quickly all three times, but with his back problems, grrr...

Just a quick question in case anyone might know. Ive had to take antibiotics, started yesterday, im about 10 days off starting ttc and got a week of antibiotics. Does antibiotics sway girl or am I now screwed for this attempt?

Good luck unwirklich sounds promising:) lyagirl I just took antibiotics at 1dpo till 6dpo atomic said no probs will be out of system for my next attempt hope there is not another one :) xx
