My best friend is pregnant first time and doesn't even know about swaying. Just said it would be ideal if they had a girl and yes of course they're having one. I was choked last night. Not because I don't want her to have a girl but just sad for myself as I don't believe I'll have one. So totally get where you are coming from. If I was to have s girl this time it would be great for her to have one too.
lyagirl - it just goes to show that it really is down to luck at the end of the day and people conceive boys and girls easily all the time. It is a hard lesson to us but we must remember that all we are doing here is upping the odds. I really hope that you are PG so that you and your friend can be bump buddies and I hope you get your girl.
girliedreamz - definitely with you on that one, may I recommend a jar of nutella ;)
Rosie - again I am truly sorry for your loss - I dont know the answer to the OPK question as I dont do too well with them myself but if you get them cheaply then you can start testing whenever you feel comfortable.
Marika - my AF arrived on saturday which would have been somewhere between 5-9 days dpo :( I have now started temping to see exactly how long my LP is. Did you get any advice on lengthening your LP? I am considering another couple of acupuncture sessions but they are £75 a time so I can really only do one or two more max, I have an expensive month coming up. Atomic also advised me to make the effort to eat 4 eggs a week, bit more full fat dairy and as I have been on the diet for longer than 6 months I should consider zinc 3 times a week.
steph - Ah, I see :-( Was it full AF at once or did you have spottings first?
I didn't get any advice for lengthening my LP. I think I have read somewhere that vitamin B (B6?) can be good for that, but I don't know how that would be for a pink sway.
I have been looser on the diet, had some salmon here and there and some potatoes and more fat. Not for the cycle purpose, but I just haven't been motivated enough to be as strict as fist months. But maybe the fat and salmon will help the cycle a bit, if that would have been part of the reason to why it's messed up.
My opk was still negative last night, I have no ewcm now but a little bit of cramping on the sides so I hope o will turn up this week. So eager to just get a new attempt! It's more or less all I can think of, I just wanna get pregnant now. During the weekend our youngest son also started to ask why we can't have a baby. He wants to be a big brother! Oh, I wish I could give him some happy news!
i went to the loo on saturday morning and had spotting, within an hour i knew it was real AF. It only lasted 3 days though, today is more like the lightest spotting ever. I have heard of B6 lengthening LP and did think about it, but atomic knows her stuff and I have had the custom plan from her since 1st November so I am sure she would have recommended it if it was relevant to me. Thats not to say it wouldnt be relevant for others. The reason she probably didnt recommend it in my case I am guessing is that I eat loads of fruit and veg so probably have enough b6 through diet. She said I didnt really need to do the zinc because I get adequate protein but I like to feel like I am doing something if you know what I mean. I dont care if it sways blue I am pretty much past caring about everything now, I just want to be PG too. Feel like a bit of a failure but then getting PG is down to luck, I just wish I could be a bit more chilled about it!
the fat and salmon will help you, I have realised that it doesnt take much with diet to mess up your body - I was eating at the upper end of the limits and did not cut back too far (because I used to easily eat 2500 cals a day, and I burn 850 a day through exercise so it would be stupid of me to only eat 1500 for example) - but look at what happened to me. Yes, it was down to BCP and probably nothing to do with the diet but who knows, maybe I could have gone back to normal quicker if I was eating meat, fish, nuts etc every day like I was before. Who knows. Whats done is done and funnily enough most of the time I dont mind the diet at all, I eat food I enjoy every day, its just sometimes I cant be bothered with the restriction.
Great! I am glad I ordered some. Here we go again! Haha.Quote:

Hey Rosie, I had a complete miscariage 2 year ago. It was 'done' in 4- 5 days like a period really. I hope this is the case for you. Good luck with your appointment.
With regards t OPKS, you might get false + as they pick up the HCG hormone too if its still in your blood. Mine were positive still right after my ectopic surgery. They faded gradually so for me it was good to see that the hormones were decreasing and to know that my body was getting back to normal. Xx
Thanks lavien, that makes me feel better!
Sorry to hear that Rosie. I had a MC many, many years ago and it was like the heaviest period ever, lasted a really long time. But I think I was a bit further along than you. Hope you dont need a d&c hon.
Good luck, Rosie, and so sorry about your loss. :( Let's hope the stickiest pink bean finds you this time.
