Gosh BR that's really not long to wait! Eek! So exciting! I've been questioning whether to ttc again or not... I think I've resided myself to having another baby whatever so every now and then I question whether it's the "right" thing to do with the boys getting older, to go back to babies etc, should I just be thankful for what I have and enjoy the life we have together, especially as things get easier?! I've put so much into ttc pink though, huge lifestyle changes etc. I guess everyone has doubts at some point or other?!x
Yep...everything you said! think we need to get a bfp quick! Then there's no going back!Quote:

I also am mindful that it may take some months to conceive, especially with one attempt, though I conceived ds2 with one attempt. I think the longer I go on this diet the more things might start to slip, so am going for it, come what Jay!
Come what may! Not jay.
Going to post separately about this but thought I would ask here as well, coming up to my attempt in a few days I have been reading lots on this site to see if could tighten up my sway, I just read that for pink sway we are trying not to build muscle. Now am worried, I do a cardio workout dvd three times per week, some of that involves using dumb bells, I think it is to add weight to help burn more calories, now concerned that this might build muscle? Am u swaying blue with this one hour cardio burn? Given how little I have eaten today, I doubt I could build muscle but some days I have been over my levels and exercised? Any advice? Am planning first attempt in a few days, should I push attempt back? Thanks
Is the DVD you do 60min? If so, it might not be so bad especially if you're using light weights.
I will tell you though, I did something similar and had my DS3. I also thought my diet wasn't the greatest then either- snacked a few more times than I should have, went over on protein/fat than I should have, etc. However, it took me 9 months and 10 cycles to get my BFP. I probably needed all those cheats to conceive, yk?
That being said, it may take you longer than this one time to conceive. I personally would forge ahead and maybe jump and dump afterward since you're worried about things.
FX and GL to you!!

Thanks xxforhubby, I am using two tins because I don't have dumb bells, it is an hour in length the dvd. Was it a cardio dvd you did? Am really not sure what to do, I don't get the whole jump and dump? I think with one attempt in the fertile window and j @ d I may be significantly cutting my odds of conceiving. I am case what would be the advantage of adding J and d? To make it unlikely I would get pregnant? Thanks for your help
Yeah, since you're nervous about things the J and D would kinda make it a tad harder to conceive. To do J and D, I always just get up to go to the bathroom right afterward and wipe the excess off. I don't do a crazy purge like it's meant to. I have never had problems conceiving doing the way I described.
FX and GL with whatever you decide!

Currently at the gym doing my 60mins on the bike...
Girlie - I can't imagine that using a pair of tins is going to build any muscle at all?! I'd carry on with your attempt as usual x
Hi everyone, so sorry I haven't been on for over a week. I accidently washed my phone and have a temporary one which doesn't have the usual tapatalk on so haven't been on until I got back from holiday and got the laptop out. Hoping to get a phone in the next couple of days and then Ill be back more!
Currently on cd15, had an attempt cd13 but Oh may have released not close enough to the entrance as he pulled out too far lol so not so sure if any made it, we will see! Have done ok on diet and haven't been hungry the last week really. Exercise is still an hour but Ive had a cold so missed a couple of days and we went away last week so missed 4 days but still compensated by eating a bit less.
Hope your all ok ... how is everyone doing?
Oh no chocolate nothing has worse than that. Boo to having a cold hope you get better soon.

Welcome back chocolate, advice for exercise in the 2 ww, do you chance exercise in 2 ww? My exercise dvd involves alot of ab crunches, wonder if I should avoid this type of exercise in the 2 ww? Many thanks
Girlieplease can you go for a run. It's good to keep up the diet and exercise in the 2ww.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
Definitely going to keep up diet and exercise as am not hopeful about the attempt, I just wondered if ab crunches should be avoided if bean is trying to implant? X
Hey chocolate!! Welcome back!
Girlie please - I don't think there's any problem with doing crunches/ab exercises; personally I wouldn't avoid them but I'm not sure if there's any evidence to suggest that they have a negative impact on ttc.x
Anyone decrease the exercise in the two week wait? I am not particularly hopeful for this month and feel am gearing up for af. Could I drop down to 5 days per week just for next week? If I exercise today that will be six days this week but am tired. If I was successful this month would it matter if I did 5 days of exercise this week, if am not successful I would kinda like an easier week before I start back on it for July attempt? Thanks
I read that atomic had said they were still getting good results from 4-5day exercise

I had a day off yesterday as hubby away but back on it tonight once he's back.
As BR says girlie please, at least 4 days of 60mins is still good. My diet has gone out the window again as gearing up for af I think??!l I'm getting fed up :( x
Thanks everyone, I did a 7 mile run yesterday and just cannot seem to face it today. See how I feel later! Am nervous about it as it's the only aspect of my sway that has been tight.
When is your scan br? Am so with you 3 sacharm, getting fed up with the diet and exercise routine, the no snacking is so difficult, I went to a group I go to and they had beautiful food and I could not eat any of it, because of the type of food and because I had already had my two meals. Met the same ladies last night fir a party and again am not eating, I felt like a freak. It is one of the reasons I decided to attempt in June despite concerns over my diet, I think the longer this goes on the more am going to move away from ideal, so diet will get looser, exercise as well. I find it hard that I am doing so much and will probably still have a boy and others seem to get girl after girl with little or no effort that am aware of x
i see this one sneaking away from us, bump
How has everyone been getting on? Any attempts coming up?

Did 6 days of exercise this week and am glad because I think af is on the way, so disappointed! X
Oh no girlieplease I'm sorry it hasn't been your month

What makes you say that girlie please?
I had three days off this week with one thing and another but back on a variation of my usual x
Hi everyone
hope you all ok? Not been around much, busy with work and just plodding on with LE and exercise!
BR-have you had your scan? I've been hunting the forums for an update on you! Was it on the 15th? How was it hun? How you and baba doing? Any scan pics?
I had my second attempt last weekend. Mind/body playing tricks on me with symptoms!! any tips for continuing with exercise and LE when in 2ww ladies? You have done so well to keep it up 6 times girlieplease!!! I'm finding my 'possible pregnancy' to be a very convenient excuse to cheat and skive off exercise!!
Af still has not arrived, and it is due today but it was arrived late on many many occasions. I just feel crampy and no pregnancy symptoms at all, with all three previous pregnancies ( 1 girl 2 boys) I had very definite pregnancy symptoms in particular peeing frequently, sore boobs, discharge ( sorry for tmi), tiredness and very weepy. Have none of the above, my temperatures are remaining high but apparently that is not reliable.
I kept up with the exercise as I think one of the other ladies on this site ( called Maiden) told me it helped with implantation so I thought great, diet has gone a bit to pot but once af arrives I will tighten it up again, keep your fingers crossed for me as am not out until af arrives, now 6 mile run before first meal of the day! Good luck everyone x
Hi hunnie I posted in the ultra sound forum it's under "is there a nub 13+1" it was on the 15thQuote:

Hi ladies,
Just joining this thread as I've started swaying for an attempt in August or September, hopefully. I started diet last Monday and I did 60min cardio Thursday through Saturday. I was hoping to get in an hour today as well, but we have plans all day so I'm not sure if l'll be able to squeeze it in. :/
I'm going to try to get more days in this week!
Welcome Erin and sounds like you have made a great start hope your attempt goes well not long until August.x

Ooooo what are your symptoms glittermouse??? I'm trying not to symptom spot as logistically, I think it would have been nigh impossible to have caught this month as missed e4d twice around what I *thought* would have been my fertile time and only made e5d instead... Not sure when af is due as haven't a clue when I ov this month as EWCM continued quite late into my cycle and I'm still getting the odd amount here and there now...xQuote:

'Symptoms' have included; one spot of bright red blood in pants, horrendous nausea lasting whole days, gagging upon waking, motion sickness.
Re. your ewcm. I've read today that it can be an early sign of pregnancy???? fingers crossed!
Welcome Erin 514!
Sounds like you've made a great start :happy:
Hi everyone, hope you are all ok? Well I got a faint positive this am at 10dpo. Feeling relieved as Id had enough of the diet and have been eating lots this week so felt like if I had to ttc again next month Id have done too much damage to my diet.
Will try and get back on here a bit more regularly again :-)
Hope to see you in the ddg soon chocolate congratulations

Congratulations chocolate am dpo 11 or 12 but never got a positive before dpo 14 so not bothering to test, keep thinking af is arriving, I think tomorrow is most likely day! Keeping up with the exercise but finding motivation hard in 2 ww!
