3girl - good luck! There is a June 2ww thread if you wish to join us :)
Charli33 - personally i would just BD however you want but then I have quite a relaxed sway. More pink positions I guess would be standing up, woman on top or in the shower. shallower penetration = less sperm getting to the egg. Ions - not doing anything on purpose but when I remember, I do put lavender oil on our pillows before BD, and after this months attempt I remembered to paint my nails and I used my hairdryer which has some kind of ion thing going. But this stuff is only if I remember and I am not bothered about actually including it because I doubt it does anything personally. Aci-jel - not sure what it is but i am not doing any vag potions if thats what it is.
Aoii - welcome :) my sway is pretty simple: LE diet (I eat on average 2000 cals a day, 50-60g protein and 25-30% cals from fat, so around 60g a day), 6 days a week exercise (hence eating at the upper end) and trying for one attempt at pos OPK, although this month I guess would count as 2 attempts. Sometimes I J&D. To be honest the main things for me are diet, exercise and one attempt, the rest is if I remember or can be bothered. I take folic acid every day. I also take zinc now 3 times a week as I have been on the diet for over 7 months (when I came off BCP it took a really long time for my cycle to come back). Now on my 3rd 2ww but have been TTC since the beginning of Jan.

Hi all newbies to this thread! I've not been very active the past few days on here but I have been lurking. I can't believe how fed up I feel and have only been on the diet 6 months and ttc once last month. Feel a bit selfish really and like I should be grateful that I have two healthy biys.
Im going to start testing for o on Sunday so hopefully will attempt next week :)
Welcome Robin and 3girl! Good luck to both of you this month!
Hi to all the newbies - welcome!
I'm off for a fishing trip all weekend. SO boyish. I need me some girl so I can take a shopping vacation some day. ;) AtT least it's taking my mind of the 2ww...9dpo and so itching to test...
Hi guys!!!
I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join yesterday! I am also trying to conceive baby #1 in June. I am type 1 diabetic from birth so haven't been following the diet strictly. I'm just barely eating to.keep my bloodsugars low and have been taking extra insulin and metformin. I'm super stressed. I have long irregular cycles and a few immune system disorders. Because of this i cant let go of taking multivitamins, probiotics, and 4000mcg of folic acid. This might be my only chance at a baby and I really pray i can have a chance at having a daughter.
Good luck to all of you ladies on your swaying journey!

I am super worried my positive opks didn't mean anything. I had discharge up until today that seemed like the fertile kind and I'm worried I didn't ovulate until today. Last time we had sex was Saturday so there would be no chance then. Anyone experience fertile cm well after their supposed positve opk and still get pregnant without attempting more than once?? I have cramping today too. I am seriously bumming right now. I did take an opk yesterday and it was negative but I don't know what to think.
Rosie, we are in the same place! I got Fertile CM Monday (5days after first pos opk) and cramping so think I may have not ovulated til then too. It's is so frustrating, I don't know if having a m/c can stuff it all up or not but I have no idea what's going on??!?
So frustrating mum. I had O pains and all but it says everywhere that you dry up after you ovulate. So who knows. I hope we are both wrong.
girliedreamz - I would probably cave and test at 9dpo lol although last time I didnt get a positive until 10dpo and it was mega mega faint! Enjoy the distraction this weekend!
maleficent - welcome and good luck!
Rosie and mum - sounds like weird things going on in the cm department which might be hormone levels after the MCs? If you took an OPK and it was negative then you cant be ovulating though? I am sure atomic said that a lot of people get a surge of estrogen around 7dpo which results in EWCM for some (whether you are PG or not). There is hope. Rosie, it might be your pregnancy juice that you mentioned ;)
lol kitkat breakfast is a distant memory - what is breakfast lol
My symptoms are gone, I did feel very slightly sickly yesterday but felt better in the evening which tells me that it must have been down to a normal surge in progesterone or i had the sickness that DH had except milder (aka the womans version of it which is never as bad as the mans version lol!!). I feel out but even if I am, every day that AF stays away is a bonus just to give me a longer LP and better shot next time. On the cm front I had watery and creamy cm yesterday which suggests that my hormone levels are getting back to normal - 6 months after i came off BCP.
Rosie and mum really hope the ewcm is a sign of pregnancy!
Steph still got my FX for you attempting in the next day or so just waiting for my pos opk DH thinks we will only be able to attempt standing up or me on top tmi after surgery !! FX its not to sore for him I am really loathe to skip another month!! Crazy hair disco at school DS1 won the prize for dancing bless!! Have a lovely weekend all xxxxx

Rosie/Mum - as stephk said, a lot of women get ewcm well after O. This happens to me nearly every month. It always confuses me but apparently it's fairly common so I wouldn't necessarily think it meant you O'd late.
Me too bluebonnet I had ewcm last month only a couple of days before AF arrived. Confused me too!

Rosie and mum - I have EWCM today too so it must be normal!
I feel a bit better about the ewcm now. I got concerned because it dried up when normally with pregnancy it doesnt. Perhaps that means I am out then though. Time will tell I guess.
Time will tell :) Oh gosh, it would be so great for everyone to get their BFP this month. June is a lovely month for conception :)
Good luck to everyone!
Angie
Rosie - glad you are feeling better about it, however I dont think you are out just because you dont have EWCM. When I got PG with DS I had no EWCM this far after O.
Congrats Angie! Fingers crossed for everyone else! I really think we BD too early and I'm out. BD on Tuesday night and still have positive OPK's with no temp rise today. I'm too afraid to have another attempt since it's best to stick with one. But kinda bummed we didn't time it right and that means another month of being hungry and working out like a mad woman.
Might be just as well though since I'll be off from the summer with less stress and more time to dedicate to meals and exercise. I've also decided I'm done with CBE digi OPK's because they indicated positive too early. They were positive 2 days before the chespies were which might be good if I was doing multiple attempts, not good for only 1.
Trying to catch up with everything but just a quick (well not quick actually lol) question.
I'm only CD8 but I do have a dilemma and hopefully you can help me decide!
I am going away on my own for 4 days to visit my sister (lucky me!) and I should o just before I leave but I don't know when to start the every 4 days bd.
so I'm leaving on CD19 and back on CD22. I think I tend to O about CD18. Do I plan to bd on CD18 and therefore count down from that day the every 4 day pattern ?
Or does it not matter when we start bd ? If we start today then the last time we can bd before I go is CD16 which could be about 2 to 3 days before O...
Sorry this feels like a Chinese puzzle! Lol.
I hope someone can 'enlighten me'! Xx
If you O on CD18 it might be better to BD on CD17? Then if you do the working backwards thing, it's CD13 and CD9. Good luck :)
Hi Girls, I'm desperately hoping to conceive a girl in June! I'm doing the LE diet but as for timing BD around ovulation....I just want to get pregnant and hope the diet will have been enough of a sway to get a girl! Do you know if you have to continue the diet after ovulation? I read somewhere that you should continue during the 2ww but if fertilization has already occurred the diet won't make any difference. Will it?
I'm looking forward to hearing all your BFPs!!!
As I understand it, fertilisation doesn't occur until a few days after dtd. So the advice is to continue the diet during the tww until you get a bfp
Thanks Stephk! I even asked DH to work out for me the bd days lol. (How rubbish am I?!) So we looked at last month and I had +OPK on CD15 which happened to be the 4th day anyway but yet we didn't catch the egg so maybe aiming for CD16 which sounds like a good compromise. And if this doesn't work we'll aim for CD17 next month haha. XQuote:

Lavie-- The highest rates of pregnancy occur with dtd 1 or 2 days before O. So if you typically O on day 18 then I'd make sure you dtd on either CD16 or 17. DTD on O day actually has really low pregnancy rates since it can take up to 12 hours for the sperm to make it to the fallopian tubes and by then the egg can be dead! You want the sperm in the tubes ready and waiting when the egg pops! Good luck!
Me+4 Atomic says staying on the LE diet is important during the TWW because girl embryos prefer a low glucose environment, which is what we're trying to do with the LE diet. If you go back to your normal HE diet, then a girl embryo might not implant. So yes, continue during the TWW, especially the skipping breakfast and no snacking part which keeps blood sugar low.
Just had my fourth attempt!! We had to do it standing up as poor DH is recovering from surgery, BIG abstain then alot fell out so pretty much like i jumped and dump so pretty doubtful we will have conceived but good to try again sorry for TMI!!!! Xx

Hey ktikat, you never know!!!! and if less is more when TTC'ing girl, then you may just about have that covered!!!! (I'm so sorry, I can't remember, are you going for pink?) At least you got an attempt in :)
Everything crossed for you :)
Angie
I don't feel comfortable personally sticking with the diet too much during tww. If the egg is fertilized it's fertilized. I doubt the Le diet makes a girl implant better at all...The diet is bad..lol. I just do the low blood sugar but not to any extremes. No need to avoid meat or calories in my opinion...The reason to keep doing it is if you fail to get pregnant it's easier to get back on the diet.
I haven't exercised at all since my attempt...I threw my back out and it still isn't better. I hope I'm pregnant so I don't have to worry about it.
I've been so far off the diet the past week even though I'm sure I'm out this month! Just over it!! 😞 Planning on starting back on track tomorrow and hoping it hasn't affected my sway too much if we so decide to try again next month.
Rosie you do sound pregnant, fingers crossed for you!
