Rosie, not to sound motherly, but I would eat something. Before TTC, I was doing 5-2 diet for a few months. The jist of that was, you can eat whatever you'd like 5 days a week and two days a week, you only eat 500 calories a day- those were called fast days. The fast days were a 24 period. Since you're already on the LE, you should be careful about fasting too much. I quit 5-2, as I kept getting sick and haven't had a problem since doing LE.
I appreciate the feedback on making a second attempt. I think I am just overeager and so excited to be pregnant, but I don't want to do anything to hurt my sway. I will wait to see what happens with a +OPK. Reading all of your "kids acting up" stories is cracking me up. My boys have been wrestling and screeching all week and it's driving me nuts, yet here I am, trying to get pregnant again. I must be crazy!:wink:
Not too motherly at all Elise! We are supposed to have the 14-16 hours of low blood sugar and no eating so 18 isn't that much more and it's only 14 if I count the wine. The girly eggs like the low sugar environment so I am nervous of getting too sugary for the next couple days. ha
I am crazy for wanting another, my boys are a handful! Always fighting, pushing, screeching...eeesh what am I thinking?!
I love me a glass (or two) of white wine in the evening, so I am right there with you, Rosie :)
When the boys are fighting, I think "Oh, a girl would just be sitting there, playing with her dolls and being sweet" when I am sure she would be jumping right in the fray with her brothers! :fight:
I'd rather not see you guys fast for 18 hours. I just think that's too much. You have to be able to function.
Um yes, yes she will be. :)Quote:

Marriedmom, I often joke with hubby about his worrying. If he doesn't have anything to worry about, he'll find something. Don't worry, my hubby rarely has his tablets. I need to hand them to him otherwise he won't take them. Massage sounds like a good idea, we need to give something else a try.
Elise, my girls fight and argue all the time. I often wonder if I am also crazy wanting another bub. Our kids can be pretty bad with arguments. That's why it's rare for us to have time without all three.

Boysway sorry to hear your DH is feeling so stressed. I think a night out is defiantly what you's need! My DH and I never get any time together at all as we don't have any babysitters and although my family live close, they won't even look after them, so take the chance while you can and enjoy a night together!
Rosie, so glad you're now in the 2WW officially! Hopefully it's your month. 😀
As for me...I am CD10 today (from start of heavy bleeding from m/c) and really thought I'd be starting to think about using opk's and thinking about whether to attempt or not, but things haven't that way.
Things have been really bad with the m/c. Bleeding is still really heavy and I've been in so much pain. I've spent a week fighting and crying and trying to get in to see a dr and it's been a hell of a week! Anyway, finally I have a scan scheduled for Monday, it was the appointment that was supposed to be my pregnancy scan but an awesome receptionist at the radiology place is going to organise me to have a scan anyway.
So hopefully I'll have some answers on Monday as to why I'm still bleeding so much and in so much pain and then I'll be able look forward from there!
I'm so cross cause I even tried to start the exercise for my sway and I did 3 days but I just can't do it now cause I'm just in too much pain and it also makes me dizzy, so it's been put on hold 😞 Still doing LE and started supps again so I guess it's better than nothing.
I've also been looking at the kids all week, and the fact that they've been driving me mad and wondered if I really want another child, when I can't seem to do a great job with the ones we've got!?! 😕
Mumofsix, so sorry to hear you are still in such pain. I hope you get answers. It sounds like it wasn't a complete m/c. Huge hugs to you. If you need to chat at all, please feel free to pm me xx Please be kind to yourself. Yes, our family are close but, we usually have a hard time getting someone to look after the kids as well. I'll enjoy while I can. I have no doubts you are a great Mum. You have a whole lot going on right now. The kids are still on holidays so, out of routine. You have gone through and are still going through a very hard and emotionally draining experience. You just need a big hug!
Mumofsix I am sure that you are a great mom! Especially after that story of how well behaved you ds was at that party. When my boys (well the youngest) is driving me up a wall I try to remember that kids have bad days too, and some times that's just it, he is having a bad day and unlike us adults, they act like children when things are bothering them (see what I did there lol) anyway, sweetie I really wish I could make you feel better! I would, I hope your psi and bleeding subsides soon, even if you aren't ready to ttc right away again
Okay ladies it's 1am here and I am wide awake. Due to my lack of sleep last night I have been up for almost 24hrs. And dh wants to go fishing first thing in the morning, I want to go to the zoo, so apparently we are going fishing, then home to shower, then to the zoo. Lord I am going to be beat! Sn: I have been on the hunt for an oil diffuser and lavender oil, on my 2 1/2 hr grocery shopping trip, I found one in Walmart!!! Excited yes I am, the ceiling fan is on, lavender in the room and some alcoholic beverage I bought from walmart. If only it was ttc time! Oh I finished my paper at midnight, don't know how good I did since I was/am going off 3 hrs of sleep from last night. Yep I am officially into rambling mode! So you tube videos or pet rescue saga it is.... Good night ladies
Boysway sounds like you have a great attitude and lots of patience to cope with DH and his depression.
Rosie congrats!! First attempt down Xx
Mumofsix you have been through ALOT !!! Be kind to yourself I agree with boysway sounds like it was not a complete m/c my two cents feel free to ignore me!! Is relax on the diet for a wee bit your body needs some nourishment and it will help improve your energy levels. You sound like a fantastic mum who has just gone through alot.big hugs xxxxx

Thanks boysway, I do need a hug! 👍
And marriedmom, you're so right and compared to some other kids I know our kids aren't really being that bad! They're just being loud and busy so aren't listening and are wanting to run off to play so aren't putting the bread away after making a sandwich etc...And DS2 set up a Facebook account without asking first and were having some "teen troubles" with DS1. All mostly small I know but when they're usually so good, being a "little painful" becomes a big pain cause were not used to it! 😕 And I think they're sick of being with each other 24/7... Can't wait til school goes back! 😊
It doesn't help that DH decided to paint the house in the most disorderly manner!! 😬
DS1 has just gone out for a ride with DH, DS2-5 are sitting down playing minecraft together and DS6 is cuddling up to me between playing with his toys. And he just walked up to his brothers and said "hi guys" (he is almost 2) and it was so cute. 💜💜
They drive me nuts then 10mins later they melt my heart! Little buggers!! 😉
I think part of not knowing if I want to TTC again now is cause I am so scared of going through this again or some of the things others on here have had to go through lately and I also don't want to deal with all the crap from family when they find out, especially after going through this loss, I just wouldn't want to hear their crap about another baby. 😞
I did read on here one day though that "you don't regret the children you do have, only the ones you didn't" and that thought plays on my mind. DH is keen to try again (which is funny cause he was the one who said no more kids and I had to try to convince) and he is back on his supps and drinking soy and cutting out meat, so I guess we will see how I go.
Enjoy your day fishing and at the zoo! Hope you get some sleep too. 😴
Thanks kitkat! 😊💜Quote:

Oh Mumofsix , I have been thinking of you. I'm so sorry you are still in pain and have bleeding etc... I hope that you will soon get answers and closure on this traumatic event of your life. Be really insistent with the doctors they new to be thorough.
As for TTC, maybe you need a little break - let your body and mind heal. It's not until your body will b healed that you will start to feel like yourself again. I think exercising is maybe too early. Also, my advice would be to gay enough nutrition to help your body cope and heal. Food is the most powerful medicine at cell levels (I'm talking good healthy nutrients) - a little more green leafy veggies and fruits won't harm your sway. Above all allow yourself the right to feel how you feel. Nurture your Self and love our Self. You are a great mum don't doubt that (just the fact that you question it proves you are!).
I don't think it's my monh either - still no AF - plus I won't let my DH near me so that won't help lol. Like you I feel scared in case it happens again but we have to remain positive. Im thinking of you and sending you Big hugs And love xxxx
La vie what amazing support and advice xxx

Hi ladies!
I am glad I found you :) I am currently CD11. Waiting patiently for Ovulation. I have been on LE for a while now but this will be our first attempt for a DD. I have not got a +OPK yet and my maybe baby is still pebbly. I don't temp because my sleep is not consistent enough and I'm scared that in going to miss my surge. I wish everyone the best of luck x
Thanks laVieEnRose. That's beautiful of you to say. 💜💜
Hope you're feeling better and I know how you feel about not letting DH near you! Even if we were at a stage to be thinking about an attempt, it's the last thing I want to have to do to get that BFP. 😕
It's so amazing to have such support and such beautiful and understanding "friends". I couldn't do any of this without this site. 💛
Welcome Pinktink! How exciting for you. Hope you get that +opk soon and that this is your month. 😊Quote:

Hey ladies. I haven't time to catch up on what I missed yet.
I had my positive opk on thursday night and it is now Saturday morning. We attempted Thursday night. I had my ovulation cramping just like always yesterday for a good while. Today I woke up and I have severe cramping and extreme nausea. I don't understand what is going on. Anyone else experience more than one day of ovulation cramping and have crazy bad cramping to boot? This pain is in my back this time by the way.
I took another opk this morning and it was still + .
I'm not sure Rosie but I'm guessing it's ovulation I seem to have several days of cramping before and after ovulation, and other times of the month aswell. Nothing that would make me nauseous though. Maybe your body was just gearing up for ovulation yesterday and actual ovulation has taken place today. Hope you're enjoying being in the 2ww!

Rosie, I usually have a bit of cramping for a few days around O, but most of it during a few hours. Happy to hear you did attempt, good luck!
Finally had time to read and catch up a bit in the thread (it's so active - fantastic!).
Boysway - sorry to hear your dh is stressed. I hope you can find a way to get him feeling better soon!
Mumofsix - So sorry to hear you are still in pain and bleeding! Take care of yourself, maybe don't start that really intense exercise until you feel your body can cope with it.
Gosh that was a lot to catch up with, I love this chatty thread!
Boysway - I am so sorry to hear about your DH. I think the ladies here have given fantastic advice. I can personally relate to the always needing something to worry about! I had some very unhelpful thinking habits in the past and went to cognitive behavioural therapy which really helped. Might be something to help your DH if he ever felt like approaching his doctor.
Mumofsix - sending massive hugs to you. I can tell from everything I have read that you are a fantastic mum and role model to your little men. I hope the ultrasound gives you the answers you need and you are able to make a decision that you are happy with.
Rosie - maybe you ovulated twice lol
Pinktink - welcome
Married - well done on finishing that paper, hope you get some sleep soon.
We have people coming round in an hour and DS is sleeping so I am trying to get DH in the bedroom as he is out tomorrow and I don't want to pressurise ourselves to BD in the week unless I get a positive OPK. Woohoo he has just announced he is going for an extra hot shower so game on :)
Game on is right!! ;)

Thanks steph and marika. 💜💜
oh mum I am so sorry you are dealing with the pain. If it doesn't pass soon please request a scan. Really hoping you feel well soon and you are a wonderful mother like the others have said!
Welcome pinktink!
Steph, I hope you and Dh had time to BD!
I secretly hope I ovulated twice Steph! haha. Only time will tell!
Yes unbelievable but we did, well it takes the pressure away for the week now...
Welcome Pinktink!
Rosie: sounds promising with a possible 2nd O!! FX
Stephk: yeah for your attempt!
I have been POAS but although it started to show a very faint line, it has been no line at all for the last few days.... Could it be that I just 'caught' end of O ? Does the OPKs fade gradually after a + or go straight blank?
I really thought O would b near as had (sorry tmi alert!) quite a lot of creamy stretchy cm. anyway, fx AF shows up soon and makes me happy (just this once lol).
Mumofsix, I hope you are feeling better xx
Wow, so much chatting has gone on. I have dropped in here and there just, not posted. Dh and I went out and we had a very nice time. We ended up bd on the Saturday night. I got my +OPK Saturday morning. We had a talk on the Sunday and obviously I got my wires crossed about this morning so we just bd the once on the Saturday night not this morning like I was hoping to. So, I guess I am in the 2ww. My ovulation was stronger than usual though. I got cramping and one tiny speck of blood and a tiny bit of blood tinged cm. It has happened once before for implantation but not ovulation. This morning I have cramping and I feel 'heavy' down below which feels the same way my body feels when AF is here. I'm thinking of have a lot of circulation going on down there for whatever reason.
:hugs: for our ladies going through tough times. You know what, I am so thankful for all of you. Dh and I had d&m this morning and I ended up in tears. I can't talk to anyone in person about any of this. We don't need that extra pressure. So, thank you so much for being there ladies :) I can't thank you enough xxx
Congrats on your attempt! Officially in 2WW! Yay!! 👍
Yay I am so glad you got one attempt in boysway!
Lavien- Dh is super nervous I o'ed twice...he is near panic, haha.
oh Lavien, about the OPk's After I had my +, they slowly fade. I had a + result for 2 days and then a gradual fade.
I am hoping our one attempt will get us our boy. In fact, I am doing my best to visualise it. All this stuff is really getting to me. I know one attempt tends to sway pink so, trying very hard to push that out of my head. Only time will tell.
I still have the LH showing up on my OPK's. I looked over past cycles and I get the LH showing quite clearly for a few days after a +OPK as well.
boys- I know some of my friends only had one attempt and have gotten boys so it is more than possible!! My Ds2 is kind of a one attempt if I remember correctly.
