June Swayers

Hey ladies - how's everyone doing? I'm feeling a lot better after my big back injury on Friday, so I don't think it will delay our TTC plans after all. DS3 has started to wean himself - I was away one night at the hospital and he went to bed without a nurse, then he's only asked for his bedtme nurse a couple nights since. This is great news because it means I might be able to start taking Baby Aspirin and Saw Palmetto on time for my attempt - I'm really not good at remembering to drink enough peppermint tea, and I've been taking cranberry, which I know isn't ideal, so I think my sway will improve if I can take these alternate supplements.

AF is due any day now, then the countdown is on! I think I'm due to O on June 22nd.

Hi mocha, so glad you're backs getting better. I'm also waiting for af and I think I'll o about 29 June. I'm seriously considering bding through o as I REALLY want to get pregnant on the first attempt!

Me too, swish! There's no way I want to spend my whole summer on this diet!

CD8 for me and we have been bedding every day! I am def going to bed through ovulation! I really hope this is my month so I can eat what I want by July.

Good luck, 3boys! I keep imagining all the foods I'm going to eat when I get a BFP. I can't wait!

Lol, me too, had my eye on some delicious cakes today in the supermarket!!! Good luck 3boys!! Got all my fingers and toes crossed for you!!

YAY! It's BD month!!! Mocha - sounds like things are going to be perfect for your late month O! My LO is still BF too much so sadly, I could not take the other good sups. I think the stars are aligning for you!!! 3boys, sounds like you're gettin' busy, girl! That's the way to do it!!! I'm a BD through O girl myself...The diet and other stuff seem like they're way more important. I just want to get preg and be done w/swaying... My cycle was crazy this month but FF finally confirmed that I O'd (later than expected!) so I'm officially 3DPO. I have a BIG stack of internet cheapies I just want to pee on already. Hopefully time will go by quickly. Not sure when I'll test...

Sending you all lots of PINK BFP VIBES for June!!!
:cheerteam::ttcgirl::cheerteam::ttcgirl::cheerteam ::ttcgirl::cheerteam::ttcgirl::cheerteam:

Wow, Out of the Blue - maybe you'll be the first BFP of the group - you must be so excited! I'm sure I'll start testing almost immediately - I'm planning on eating non-stop as soon as I get that BFP!! :)

In other news, local strawberry season has FINALLY started here in Ontario, Canada. This will make the diet soooo much easier since there's almost nothing I like better than fresh, local strawberries. I went to the farmer's market today and bought a whole flat. Now it's going to be strawberries at lunch, strawberries at dinner, and probably more strawberries for a snack in the evening - Yum! I'd worry that this would make my diet too similar to when I conceived my boys (since I always overindulge in strawberries during strawberry season), but all 3 of them were conceived in the Fall when local strawberries are long gone.

Thanks girls for the well wishes. When I do eventually get my BFP I've come to the conclusion that I am going to put on so much weight with all the goodies I will finally be able to eat. Good luck everyone

Good luck out of the blue!!!! Will follow your progress and keep my fingers crossed for you!

Awww...Thx, all. I agree w/you guys...the moment I see a line, I'm going to have a nice big piece of red velvet cake! Man...only 4dpo today...Seems like it should be at least a week or something since I O'ed. I'm hungry...I want that cake!!!

Got af today so am now on cd1!!!! I'm so excited and have never been so pleased to see af! Don't want to see it next month though!

Yay! Congratulations, swish! (LOL I just realised I congratulated you for menstruating :suprise:) AF is due tomorrow for me - I hope it comes on time, because I want to get this show on the road!

Lol!! Imhope you get yours tomorrow

Eek - I'm excited for you swish!

;)

Hey guys - AF came right before I went to bed last night, so technically today is CD2!!! That means O is now due June 21st...I like that - the longest day of the year sounds lucky to me! :)

:cheerteam:

We have decided to give this month a try.....yesterday I started getting ewcm....and i got a very faint line on my opk....I still have my IUD until wwednesday....I used 1 tube of replens last night and drank 3 bottlls of crystal light.....and took some zyrtec.....today I have no ewcm and still only a faint line on my OPK....I am having my IUD removed on Wednesday...I pray there is no complications with the removal....I hope my egg holds off until its out....I have a question.....Should we start BD now right through or should I wait until the iud is out....I am unsure what to do....Anyone have any advice...

I'm on CD3 now - only 9 days until O is due! I've started taking Saw Palmetto now that ds is no longer nursing, and I finally found Vitex today after much searching and will start taking it tonight. I think I have most of my supplies gathered for our attempt. The one thing I can't find is Zyrtec - I don't think it's available here in Canada. Can someone who has a box tell me what the active ingredient is in it? Maybe I can find a different brand that is the same thing. I have Benadryl already, but I wanted the option to take both if needed since I usually have lots of cm.

Yay on all you girls who have got AF. CD12 for me and no sign of ovulation yet. TTC is such a waiting game!! Im waiting to wait in the two week wait!!

I hope your sweet egg(s!) is/are just chilling and waiting until you give the go-ahead. Got my FX for you. I'm sending you BABY DUST!!! XXX :HH:

YAY for AF for you June swayers!!! O is just around the corner...:cool: 3boysHope O comes soon so you can get this party started!

I am bored stiff, just waiting for time to pass. I got really bad cramps/backache early this a.m. and then just had a bit of slightly brown cm an hr ago. FF says I shouldn't test until the 25th but I think I'll try a test at 11dpo (Friday). My ticker says I'll test at 9dpo but I didn't put the correct info in and was just interested in it saying how many dpo I am. Everytime I look at it, it really annoys me b/c I just want to test now but I know it's probably way early based on the statistics I've seen.

Sending you all lots and lots of DUST and I hope you're all geared up to be knocked up!!! :cheer::HH::luck::cool:

For both my twins and ds3 I got my BFP at 8dpo. Just sayin'....:bigsmile:

I'm planning to start testing with FRER at about 6dpo I think. I just can't wait to have pizza for supper on the day I get that BFP!!!! :fingers:

Lol, mocha, I think I'll have pizza too!!! Good luck, out of the blue, keep us up to date!!!

WOW...8dpo is AWESOME! Did you ever feel implantation and if so, do you remember how many dpo you were? I thought I read something on FF or somewhere saying that after implantation it took about 2 days for most people to see a + on their test...I need to look that up.

I hear you on the food! DH and I went to The Cheesecake Factory on Sat...I had a plain salad w/no dressing. No bread, no cheesecake, no nothing. He of course ate like a pig. I told him we can't go out to eat again until I get a BFP b/c it's too difficult for me. I'm busy planning my first BFP dinner, lol.

No - I never felt implantation - I just tested early (with a FRER) and got lucky.

Swish - not only am I getting pizza - but it's going to be the cheesiest, greasiest pizza I can get...and I'm going to eat the whole thing myself!!!:bigsmile:

Oh yes, and eating out is Hell. I end up cheating because I just can't eat a salad with no dressing while others chow down - my willpower isn't strong enough. I'm hoping I can avoid more dinners out until all this is over.

I'm hoping we ALL get our BFPs this cycle so we can eat, eat, eat!!!

I hope so too!!! Eating outbis a nightmare, not only is it horrible to eat something boring, it also really raises suspicions!!! I just can't get away with not eating with other people for more than a week!!!

HI Girls! I'm out of the 2ww for a day....maybe......LOL
I thought I had ovulated 11 days ago but it seems my body is playing tricks on me! For the past few days I've been feeling pregnant (from about 8dpo...or what I thought was 8 dpo...I have been having menstrual type cramping and progressively over the past 2 days my cm has become very watery/creamy with some egg white in it) so I had a feel of my cervix in bed last night and it was SHOW. Last night my opk was slightly darker than what I usually see on a daily basis. This morning I had some EWCM that stretched 7 inches!! Holy crap! I checked my cervix again and it's still SHOW. So I did an opk and it was darker than last night but still not as dark as control line. I took a pic of it and will take a few more opks through the day and then put the pic on here to see what you girls think. Anyway.....
If you were going to have a cycle that you didn't really care if you got pregnant...what would you do? Should I take a whack load of benadryl, put his stuff in a diva cup, pour lime in it...you get the picture...LOL I honestly don't care if I don't get pregnant this cycle because it would mean I'd have a March baby(April is what I would ultimately like:)). I also don't plan on doing the diet anymore than I already have(less meat, less salt, no "bad" foods...that's about it). What to do...???

:D Thanks Girls! I have to catch up on the thread and see where everyone's at! Hope that you're all doing well!!

Hi ladies - I'm on CD8 and dh and I dtd without a condom tonight. It wasn't a perfect attempt - no hot bath beforehand, but I did use Rephresh earlier today and we used Sylk. I didn't bother with Benedryl since af just left and I have hardly any cm. O usually comes on CD12, so I wanted to make sure we got enough attempts in - DH has been releasing everyday since CD1, so I thought I should reward him with some actual sex :oops: We'll be dtd every day from now until O - I really hope it comes on time!

How's everyone else doing?

So excited for you, mocha!!!! I am cd 8 or 9, not sure!!!! Dh is doing frequent release and will do now until pos opk as he's away next weekend, wish he wasn't and we could go for it now!!! Fx for you, enjoy!!!!:bigsmile:

Hi Girls.. well tonight is the night for me and one last attempt at about 5 in the morning tomorrow! D/h is going away for work for a week tomorrow morning so i am due to o on the 21st... will see how i go this month dh has been releasing everyday for 12 days once it was twice in a day and today it will of been twice too. Wish me luck and good luck to everyone in their attempts and lets hope for some bfp!!

good luck, pinkin! So you're doing a cut-off then? We have the same O-day, by the way!

Thanks Mochagirl! Yeah doing a cut off our ds was concieved right thru o so i thought will try cut off this time around if i get preg and its a boy will be great! and will try again next time! Well will be due same time if we both get bfp !!!!!! What has your plan of attack been?? My ph is at a 4 to 4.5 its going to be a struggle to keep it there tho i think.

I don't really check my ph - I think I have low ionic strength because the strips never change colour for me. I did check out of curiousity after dtd last night, and I was at about 6, so not great.

I'm still not 100% sure when we'll stop dtd. I'm 36 and don't want to make it too hard to get pregnant, but at the same time I conceived all my boys on O-day. My biggest worry if I tried a cut-off is that O would arrive late and I'd end up missing my chance for the month. I'm leaning towards dtd until I get a +OPK. This is my last pregnancy for sure - dh already thinks the 3 kids we have are too many, so there's no way we'd go for #5.

I posted my sway here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...p?4025-My-Sway

Hopefully this will be the month for all of us! I'm sooooooo ready to be pregnant!

Good luck, pinkin!!!

Mocha, remember, timing is not important!! More important is diet and how long can you be really good on the diet???

My thoughts exactly, swish. I'm definitely not attempting anything longer than a 1 day cut-off, and very likely will just BD through O. I am so ready to be done with this diet!
