Good luck, Rosie! It's so nerve-wracking haha!
Thanks Abi! Nerve wracking indeed but I am trying to remain calm. haha
Good luck Rosie!
Trying to catch up in the thread, back home after a few days away.
Congrats unwirklich!! Fantastic!
And GL Abifasc!
I have been very much off the diet for 2 days. Didn't have read meat as I thought, but some fish, chicken and a pretty big breakfast yesterday and today (I realized how much I miss it, it's really my favorite meal of the day) - PLUS a lot of sweets, wine and snacking. Have to get back on track again with LE since we will be attempting in 9-10 days.
Kitkat: :fx:
So I'm officially back on my swaying plan, starting back on LE yesterday and adding in exercise. Still not decided if we will attempt as soon as I get an +opk this month or wait out until I've had a full cycle after our loss. I'd really like to attempt this month but I'd also like to be back on LE & Supps etc for a while too! 😕
So sorry to hear of your loss MumofSix xx
Welcome back mumofsix Hope you're feeling a bit better. Best of luck for whatever month you.choose to have your attempt.

I know the stats show trying after a loss does sway :( I'm so sorry for your loss btw. It's really hard to try again, I already had a dream I lost this pregnancy last night. I think for anyone with a rainbow baby it's a long 40 weeks.
Very sorry for your loss, MumofSix. Sending you the best of luck in your future attempts!
I have a question for anyone who might know, regarding zyrtec. I started taking it yesterday (over the counter, 24-hour), as I am planning my one attempt either Thursday or Friday, depending on when I get +opk. It made me very sleepy, but I can deal with that, if it actually works to dry up cm. My question is, if it's supposed to work for 24 hours, would I want to take it the day of my attempt and then stop, in order to allow some cm to return? I feel like I've read that, if there is too little cm, then nothing can get through to the egg during ovulation. Anyone else have experience with this?
Thanks!
ladies how does currently hating your husband sway? pink or blue? I am likely to get a + opk tomorrow and let me tell you, I am in extreme dislike of my husband at the moment, he made me soo soo angry today. It is a good thing there wasn't a + today...I think I would skip the attempt and that says a lot!
Awe :( sorry Rosie! Have angry sex maybe?
Rosie..noy sure but lemme tell u, I hope u work things out by tomm coz another month of dieting + exercise sucksssss..I've totally fallen off the wagon so if ur diet and work out is in order, I say go for it

hahaha Abi!
I do NOT want to miss the attempt, I am so ready for some fatty food and some meat!
Rosie85,
I got my positive opk yesterday morning and me and the dh have been fighting so it looks like no go for me. I guess it wasn't meant to be 😩😰

oh man, so sorry yogi. So you didn't attempt at all??
I feel like everything tries to get in the way of things all the time! How annoying.
Today has been a horrible horrible day. I am beyond stressed at the behavior of my children. The youngest is constantly whining and wanting to be held. The two older boys have been fighting like cats and dogs and not listening at all. I just want to sit down and cry.
If it's any consolation I'm with yah Rosie:/
Baby is clingy and nap sucked. Eldest is sick so we are all stuck inside and hubby is away for a week!!! I want to crawl in a hole and not particularly die... But sleep for a long time...alone!!!!!
Aww ladies, so sorry to hear you're having a hard time...wish I could come and ease some of it for you...especially Rosie with your attempt so near!
Hope things settle down for you guys.
yogi&booboo: sorry to hear that you missed your attempt, that sucks...good luck next month.

There must be something in the air Rosie...my kids are driving me crazy too!! We're having some serious issues with DS1 and I don't know how to handle them, the twins are noisy and naughty, the 3yr old is whinging all the time cause the others are on school hols so always here (he usually goes to preschool 2 and a half days a week but enjoys his other days at home with me) and our youngest is out of whack cause it's school hols so he isn't sleeping during the day so is a mess!! And DH is cranky cause he is trying to paint the house but the kids keep "getting on the way" or wanting something from him etc and I'm trying to deal with this m/c so I'm not doing as much around the house as I probably should be. 😕 Even our cats are being naughty!!!! 😠
Aww yogi :( sorry to hear. That's a bummer.
Rosie, fingers crossed for you. Bloody husbands!!! I hope things settle down with the kids. You have enough to do without needing to worry about that.
coocoo :hugs:
Mumofsix, huge hugs. There is light at the end of the tunnel. School is back on the 29th. I had a week break from my eldest two as they went to their fathers. They have almost made up for the break with their fighting, arguing and back chatting though. Do you have anyone you can talk to?
Afm, we need to start bd for the start of our sway attempt and poor dh has been so tired lately. Actually, I am feeling a little nervous. I usually get LH fade in around 4 days before ovulation. Nothing so far. Hopefully I am just being impatient :worry: Odd, I am having a very, very hard time staying on my diet. I really hope I get my bfp straight away. I don't think I should put anymore weight on. I have been loosely on the diet since January.
Rosie,
Today is my second peak day and my cheapy opks are still dark. I just had my first attempt a little while ago. I was not able last night because my youngest dd was up till very late 😩.
After kicking and screaming lol, I told my dh I felt betrayed by him for doing this to me. I don't know why but my dh seems to freeze when i tell him its time to bd and its difficult for him to complete his task. You would think the dh would be excited to bd but i see that he feels as if i am asking him to do a 007 mission. He always becomes nervous and has asked me previously to not tell him and just dtd but i always get in the moment and expect him to be as happy as me that we are bd'ing for a reason. He tells ne that he wants to do his part perfectly so now I get that he feels i am asking a lot from him. Sorry for venting and thank you ladies for your support. I would not be able to share this with even my closest friend ☺💕❤
Ps i might be able to get my last bd in today. I just wasn't able to get the first bd at +opk :)

Yogi and Rosie! I'm so sorry your DH's are being difficult they just are sometimes arn't they!!
Mine would be too if he knew we were swaying he is soooo stubborn.
What works for me is not telling him its 'time' just go to bed in the nude!! Or wear sexy underwear tmi sorry but it works every time then I act super casual even if I have a blaring opk like no worries if you don't want to have sex with me....even though I'm lying here in the nude!! Hehe they just hate being under pressure to perform so I take all pressure away.
Hope that helps!!
Xxxxx

Ha kitkat I'm so the same as you when it comes to 'it's sex time now'! My dh would run a mile if I told him he had to put out at a certain time so like you I have to pretend I'm really not interested so that in turn makes him want to dtd Works a treat all the time!!! As I'm doing a more relaxed sway this month thought we could dtd every day up to ovulation. But have been so sick in bed the last few days (this never happens to me) haven't been able to do anything and its cd10 today so hope to get better soon and start dtd or we might not make this month aaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!
To all you ladies suffering over the holidys with unruly kids and bold dhs I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. I think families seem to get on much better when there's a routine in place like school etc. You poor guys! Try running your kids around a park or somewhere all day and put them to bed early then hopefully you could run a nice hot bath (alone!) That could help ease a bit of the stress hopefully.
Well done yogi getting an attempt in. Fingers crossed it worked.
Rosie better kiss and make up quickly if you want to get preggers Best of luck!
essence I haven't a clue about antihistamines so I can't give any advice sorry!

Oh and boysway I really don't think weight gain is most important in your sway. I have 3 ds and was always at my lowest weight when I conceived them. Diet is most important. I had a perfect boy diet but my food and snacks didn't put any weight on. Just choose healthy foods that don't make you put on weight, like nuts and seeds, oatmeal, tuna, eggs and drink lots of green tea This will help you not put on weight. And I swear the one with jasmine got me my boys! Best of luck with attempt!

lol Rosie, hope you have made up with your hubby! Agree with odd - no matter how p1ssed you are with him, get that attempt in - totally worth it not to be on the diet any longer than necessary!! As you say, you are ready for meat and fat....mmmmm......just getting distracted by that lovely thought....
yogi - hope you also made up with your hubby and got your attempt in - although if you are swaying blue hopefully you may have only missed one attempt out of a few so all good?
Sorry to hear everyone's kids are driving them crazy, must be something in the global air as when I picked DS up yesterday he was in such a bad mood from he moment we got home until I put him in bed! lol mumofsix even your cat is being naughty!
Boysway, hope you managed to start attempting, I have to say I am the tired one at night so am secretly glad to only need to do BD every 4 days/one attempt. Last time TTC we BD every 1.5/2 days which was exhausting! Not that DH is complaining, he would be up for more frequent BD but is OK with what we are doing. It probably sucks even more to have to put on weight than it is for us having to lose/maintain weight - poor you, really hope you get your BFP and you are welcome to my blue dust :) - agree with daisymoo, you can still have a great boy sway maintaining weight by eating the right food. I used to LOVE chicken and avocado wraps, sometimes with some pistacios and salad leaves - probably the perfect boy sway lunch and I had 2!! I hadnt put on recent weight when I conceived DS I had been the same weight for a really long time. I took green tea capsules every day as well as I couldnt stand the taste of green tea but wanted the health benefits.
kitkat great tips, I usually just tell DH I am in the mood (whether I am or not), that gets him in the mood lol
Daisymoo and stephk, unfortunately I'm not worried about trying to put on weight. I am having trouble maintaining my weight. My weight has gone up by just over 5 kgs (11.02pds) since mid January. I eat the nuts, tuna, eggs, oatmeal. If I eat bread it is only wholemeal. I only cook wholemeal pasta. I think it's the quantities I am eating. I can't keep my stomach full for long no matter what I try. I also do a fair few nightshifts and I eat on nightshift what I would through the day.
I have tried drinking green tea but, I can't stomach it. I will have a green tea bag in with my normal tea bag but, not for long. I would rather not have too much green tea anyway as I don't want to take a chance on it having a negative affect on my cm. I don't have much now.
We haven't even started bding for our attempt yet :( Dh has been too tired. I also usually get fade in OPK's by now and haven't had them. I think I will have to pull out the lingerie as well :( I hesitate though, dh has turned me down even when wearing lingerie :( Plus, he has also been known to 'freeze' under pressure.
Oh kitkat that made me laugh sooo hard!!!
gosh what is up with all these men turning us down lol! boysway - the good news (hopefully) is that if you usually have a fade in pattern but you havent had one, and you havent started attempting yet, it will hopefully give you more time to get DH in the bedroom.
i used to take green tea capsules as i couldnt stand the taste of tea. I thought they were supposed to have a good effect on cm? (i could be wrong though). I was also taking evening primrose oil capsules AF-O and then flaxseed capsules and vitamin E capsules from O-AF (I didnt know then that flaxseed is a no no and I took them throughout my pregnancy with DS). I had way more EWCM then than I do now. Think I may have also had prenatal vitamins too.
you may have put on some of the weight from lifting weights too. I know it wont all have come from that but it will have contributed a little bit. Definitely have protein and carbs at every meal (i am sure you know that and do that). Do you like milk? If I ever used to still be hungry (or think I was hungry) after a meal or before bed I would drink some full fat milk.
Ha! I know So much for men wanting sex 24/7!!! If we didn't have sex for a month in my house my dh wouldn't even notice!!!
Boysway don't worry about the weight issue As I said before it's the diet that's most important If you're eating boy foods every day your sway will be perfect. You'll get that little man in the end. Don't forget to eats lots of bowls of cereal too It's one of the most popular boy foods I would eat a large box of special k on my own every week Miss it sooooo much!

Well Dh and I made up but now I haven't gotten a +opk...this is nuts. It should have been today at the latest. It is nowhere close to being positive either. Guess my cycle is off again. I wonder if eating some meat would help bring it on?? I have been kind of low in protein this week.
Yogi- I hope you got your attempt in today.
Daisy- I hope you feel better soon
I really think something is in the air with all of these kids and Dh's acting up. Hopefully it passes soon for us all.
okay so I didn't take an opk last Saturday because I forgot one and I was at my moms all day and night. What if I got my positive then?! I did have cramping and what looked like ewcm. Now I super nervous that I did. Hubby and I did DTD in the shower on Wed or Thurs?? So I would have had some spermies in there I think so hopefully if that was the case...I still have a chance?
Jumping in on here. I was on the TTC Feb & then March and obviously neither worked :/ ... Now in the TWW for this month. Here's to hoping and praying this is the month!
Strangely enough I also really miss cereal! Special K with full fat milk oh yes.... I haven't touched any kind of cereal - that and fruit juice are my only banned foods.
I know if a lot if boy mums who ate cereal right before bed if that helps anyone :)
Rosie - it's a possibility that you missed it but it's also a possibility that it's a bit delayed? Especially if fighting with DH?
It didn't seem like my friday opk was even close to becoming dark and it was two days ago...it looked like it was going to turn so I tested 3 times a day. Now I tested today and it's lighter than yesterdays. So confused. I wish we just would have done the BD every 4 days now instead. I am hoping it is just late and will show up by this friday.
Hi Rosie Oh I feel your pain I hate this part! Trying to figure out ovulation! What cd are you on? You may not even have ovulated yet. What cd did you ovulate last cycle? If you had missed it last Sat would it be normal for you to only get one positive or would you normally get more? I think the really good news is that you did the deed on Wed or Thurs so if you did ovulate around Sat that sounds like a perfect pink attempt. Don't lose hope yet My guess is that you haven't really ovulated yet.
