Hey marika yes I have lost 11 pounds which does not sound like much but I did not have alot to spare sitting at 116.9 pounds BMI 18.9 so I don't wanna lose anymore ;) I have given myself six months as my personal sanity cut off how about everyone else? Xxx

looks like we all conceived our sons so easily. My 3 were all first time attempts too. Girls are sure harder to make!
All you girls are still so young, you have plenty of time don't worry. I'm 38 and just started in to my second month ttc. Been on the le diet for 3 months and have lost 18 lbs. Like Marika my af came 7 days early this month and now my mom and dh and friends are starting to worry about my weightloss. So this month am going to drop all supps and just dtd every four days. Will probably only do this sway for two more months max and then I'll go back to my old tactics for conceiving as time is not on my side. You girls however have plenty of time yet!
To all the girls who are spotting I really hope it's implantation Fx!!

Good luck daisymoo love your attitude! Girls sure are hard to make fingers crossed we all get one xxxxx right now would take either to just get a BFP but remind me of that come scan time ;- ) x

daisymoo - I agree, girls seem to be harder!
Sometimes I feel tempted to just ttc without all these sway factors, I feel like since we got a girl when we "accidentally" got pg i december, why wouldn't it be possible to get a girl again without all diet changes and stuff.
But then again, I think about how deeply I would wan't it to be a girl and that I would probably have regrets for not swaying if u/s showed a boy.
Kitkat - I have no limit of how long we'll sway (yet) but I guess we might make the swaying lighter for each month without getting pg.
I have lost 13 pounds (6 kg) so far but still have some weight to loose. So diet is getting boring but seeing it from health and weight aspects I can continue for some more time. DH is also skipping meat now but he really isn't very happy about it.
If lightening the sway up a bit and increasing chance of pg - what would your first step be? Not do fr/abstain? No hot shower for dh before bd? No antihistaines?
I don't really know which of all the things that are swaying least but decreasing chances of pregnancy most. Or maybe the most decreasing stuff is the most swaying as well, and should therefore be the last to eliminate from sway plan?
Oh well, as said, I'm only on second cycle ttc but it feel like ages. Guess I should give it at least three cycles of "full" sway before I even start thinking about taking swaying parts out.
Well after 2 days of faint pink lines that were coming up after 30-40mins I finally got my bfp!!! Used a cb digi this morning. :)
Yay!!! Congrats lyngostar!!! 😀👍

Woho, congratulations lyngostar!! So happy for you!
wahoo Big congrats lyngostar! Fab news! Well done girlie!!!
Ya kitkat know how you feel I think when it's time for that ultrasound you want to feel you've done everything you could have. And I'm sure you will have.
Hard to know what to drop Marika I suppose it depends on your own body. I didn't take antihistamines first attempt as I really didn't need to at all, and didn't use hot shower either and didn't get pregnant either! Personally I think diet is most important and keeping blood sugar low as these are total opposite to way I normally eat. And to stick with one attempt seems very important too.

Lyngostar!!! Awesome :) I'm so happy for you!!!! Happy and healthy nine month wishes to you!
Marika -- I'm only on my first month TTC and already contemplating ditching the sway and just go for it. BUT -- I'd kick myself if I got pregnant quick and they said boy, knowing I could have done so much more. I'm already doing a pretty light sway (LE diet, one attempt after OPK, fiber supp) and was doing well with keeping the stress away until this danged 2ww. It does feel like YEARS instead a month. Oh my.
Angie
Huge congratulations Lyngostar!!!!
I also do not have a cut off for my sway at present. I lost 14lbs really quickly from Jan and then since then I gained 5lbs, lost another 3lbs and I am pretty sure I have gained again. I am back on le after 4 days pigging out AGAIN!! I do it everytime I ov!!! I need to stop it as my weight is not coming down anymore. I do have some to spare too with a bmi around 22.
What is the age gap of this one you are ttc and your yongest? My son is almost 27 months and is in need of a sibling, I can see it every day now. I pains me the longer this takes as he will be 3 no doubt at least before I have another.
I also get times of stuff this I am going to bd everyday through O. It mostly happens when I see someone overweight with a DD or people I know to have a boy friendly lifestyle are pg with a girl etc... Plus the more people around us announcing pregnancies it gets harder :( x
My kids are 3.5 and just turned 6. That's more than the age gap I had wanted, but DH was stubborn.
I'm done with testing. I'm out of tests (even the 2 I ran out and stupidly purchased last night) and out of patience. I'll wait for AF to show her ugly face on Sunday and move on. Watch, AF will be a day or two late .... just enough to bring my hopes up to come crashing down. I'm feeling a little bitter ATM.

Congrats lyngostar!! That is amazing news!:DQuote:

Aww Angie, I'm sorry you're having a hard time with the whole thing.
Don't give up hope yet, or at least until AF shows, how many dpo are you?

Hi ladies congrats on the bfp!!! I am 29 and have 3 girls 6, 4 and 23 months. I got preg go last June and miscarried in August. Had a chemical in nov so 3 misc all together for me. Since nov haven't had any luck. June in approaching fast and it's frustrating that it's almost been a year since started ttc this one. I know I have time but it is still frustrating. getting preggo with girls is easy for me lol it's the boys I can't do! send me some of your blue dust girls and you can have all my pink lol I have loads to give. This is my last shot at a boy, can't do more than 4 babies! I've also had 3 c-sections as well. I'm 7 dpo I think I calculated a day off. No symptoms as of yet. A little cramping yeast but that means nothing I get random cramping leading to af. I hope everything is looking good for you guys :) kitKat the spotting at 6 dpo sounds like implantation to me! Do u spot this early usually?
You can have all my blue dust Mackenzie. I am in need of some pink.
Feeling quite tired and not got much of an appetite. I can already feel the muscles in my back pulling. They do say it happens quicker with each pregnancy.
Me too have all my blue dust and I'll gladly take all your pink dust Mackenzie!!:cool:

I'm only 10 dpo, but I'm truly not feeling it. Every symptom I "have" goes away when I think I'm not pregnant and when I think I am I have "symptoms".Quote:

But, it is what it is. I really should stop whining about it. Either I am or not. Either I continue to next month or I don't. I guess the side bonus is being on the diet for more than 4 weeks before my attempt, but I'm really struggling on that too (as evidenced by the 9 girl guide cookies I've eaten today).
MEH! Thanks :)

Congrats lyngostar!!! Fabulous news xxxxxx

Thanks everyone. It's still sinking in. Lol. My two boys will be one and two this month, it was my anniversary yesterday and now my bfp. :)
7dpo and have terrible mood swings. Breasts feel tender, got cramping and temp v high. I tested and obviously a bfn!
Sounds good but not reading into it as don't want to get my hopes up. I know I'll test daily now though until af arrives :-/
Sounds promising dreaming. :) it's so hard not to get ur hopes up.
Good luck dreaming!! Congrats again lyngostar !!
Feeling pretty gutted that I had spotting at 7dpo which is a positive for me AF arrives in a few days feeling really sad and frustrated this is taking so long for me! I want it so bad ....
Oh well had a binge at dinner desert to share, fish and kumara chips to cheer myself up :( xxxx

Lyngo, big congrats! So happy for you!
Marika, I would personally stick with the one attempt, diet, and exercise aspects. Those sway the most and don't inhibit conception either.
Dreaming, fx you see a BFP soon.
Ladies, I am so confused. I am 13DPO (my LP is 9-11 days). I started spotting late on 10DPO along with some vicious AF cramps. But, the spotting (very little, mostly when I wipe) has dissipated along with most of the cramping today. I was BFN yesterday but couldn't handle another one today. If I still don't have AF tomorrow I will test with one of my 2 remaining precious FRERs (been using strips of various quality so far). No symptoms other than tender breasts & sore nipples which usually go away once I start spotting. My temp has been steady for a few days but dropped a little today (in terms of vaginal temps). But my oral temp actually went up today. Here is my chart: 4a5f89 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com
I can see why you're confused. Your top chart doesn't show a temp rise today on it. Have you not filled it out?
I think if your temp is steady then test tomorrow. I got negatives right up until 14dpo with my son so your still in with a chance.
If like the top chart your temp is dropping id expect af soon x
The top chart is vaginal temps. If you go down 5 charts, the April 2012 chart is actually this month's oral temps. I unfortunately agree with you about my vaginal temp drop & AF impending, although, I didn't temp at my usual time. Still that should make my temp higher, not lower.
I did just have some spotting again, too. :( Apparently I jinxed myself. It's got to be the Vitex messing everything up, right? I just wish AF would come! Thanks for looking, dreaming. :)
It could be late implantation Maiden. I implanted really late with my first DS. Didn't get my positive until like 16 dpo
Thanks Rosie! I must admit I have been trawling the internet for stories of later BFPs with spotting.
Kitkat, do you normally have spotting before AF also? Starting at what DPO? 7DPO is great timing for implantation. What colour? And...what are kumara chips?
When I get period spotting it is literally the day or two days before, it won't stop and start or be more than 3 days prior. If that is also your norm I would consider implantation or possibly a chemical pregnancy.
Hey guys I normally spot 2-3 days before AF arrives brown starting day 9po or 10po. I had bright red spotting 6dpo just a few drops which I hoped was implantation which has now turned brown spotting on/off 7dpo accompanied by a very full feeling in my uterus no cramping I'm thinking maybe a chemical or just early AF. I'm not taking vitex so it can't be that. Maiden kumara chips are a vegetable you can only get in NZ its similar to sweet potato :) boy did I enjoy them !!
Maiden hope you hear either way I find this part the hardest. Feeling better about a 2015 baby today good luck everyone testing xxxx

Id go on your mouth temp maiden tbh. Id test tomorrow if you can take it? In fact wait and see what your temp does in the morning and if its up/constant then id test. Good luck!! There was someone in the feb/march ttc that spotted and thought she was out then got a bfp the next day!! Thats seems like ages ago now!!
I have come off all suppliments this month on advice of atomic, I am not using them anymore. My cycle has felt so much better this month from it xx
Best of luck dreamingofwin, kitkat and maidentomother. I really hope you get bfps this month. The 2ww can be such torture can't it? I had such crazy dreams this month I was convinced I was pregnant but sadly not! Fingers crossed for you all.

Hope that you that are still in the game for april get your bfp's! Would like to see the stats for this month, feels like there has been a lot success!
I am def out since AF started yesterday, hoping for better luck in may.
Thanks daisy moo, marika and dreaming ofwin black very dark brown spotting today so positive I am out. Feeling better today determined to enjoy Easter with my boys !! Moving onto may with marika which will be attempt no. 4!! Atomic has suggested dropping zyrtec so fingers crossed that ups my chances.
Huge FX to all waiting results
Rooting for you all xxxx

AF found me but I am thrilled this damn cycle is over. Plus a 13 day LP is good, right? I will see you ladies in June/July or else when I go IVF, haven't decided which yet.
13 lp is very good maidentomother. At least you know where your cycle is at now and you can move on and start a new cycle Are you taking a break for May?
Sent from my GT-S5369 using Tapatalk 2
Yup, so happy about my longer LP! Recently it was as short as 8 days, and in the past it's been even shorter.
I don't think I will deal well with a Jan/Feb/Mar birth so I will be skipping that time period for sure. I've been off my sway for 10 days now. I am trying to decide on natural sway vs IVF soon, bc either way I will need to prepare, either get back to swaying after a short break or start the IVF process. I will schedule an HSG today, too, so I can be sure everything is tip top.
Well best of luck with whatever path you choose. I hope everything works out for you. Here's hoping for a April 2015 healthy baby for you!

You sound v positive maiden. Hope you get your hearts desire xxxxx
I took antihystamines this cycle, well I took 2 the day of attempt and still had ewcm. It was my first month of vitex/SP and I felt much more fertile. Fingers crossed x
Can u get evap lines on a pink dye ebay cheapie?
I have just randomly took a test after not having a wee for hours and I swear there is a faint line...it doesn't photograph though. I've looked at this mornings test and there was def no line then...
