Pink swayers' September thread

♥ happyheart
♥ Swaying Status: Hoping September is our month! :)
♥ TTC #4
♥ LE diet, frequent release, no O, Clomid, possibly a little preseed if needed due to the clomid, BD through ovulation, hot showers, taking folic acid and fiber, tons of diet caffiene free coke and CL and DH semi-LE diet. Also for fun I am using an ionizer on the computer, leaving ceiling fans on, and wearing rose quartz bracelets everyday.

However - if I've already ovulated (and I'm sure I have because my OPK was negative this afternoon and my cervix is now low and I have those pains) will the sperm from this morning already have reached the egg (if they're going to at all) or at least cap(whatever)ated and be on their way? Chances are my egg is either fertilised or dead by now - but if it's neither then am I increasing 'my' sperm count by DTD again tonight? What happens to the sperm when the egg dies, do they instantly die too? Could it be that I only have a few sperm there now and they're 'working on it' but by introducing some new sperm I'm upping the count and giving the boys a better chance? Does that even make sense?!

I hate the stress I experience at every meal in a situation like that. Luckily, I have an ally in my Mom, but she can only do so much. I can easily have a girl-friendly lunch every day since we all tend to do our own thing at lunch, but dinner will likely consist of BBQ meat every night. O is still a week away, but I'd still rather not have any major cheats like meat, but at the same time I'm running out of tricks, lies and excuses for not partaking in the family meal. We're there for 4 nights, so that's a lot of meals I have to get out of somehow. Sigh. I am soooo ready for all this swaying stuff to be done.

welcome maybeoneday! :)

Joining you ladies!

♥ User Name - Chicky
♥ Swaying Status: Swaying NOW!
♥ TTC DC # 3. I have 2 boys.
♥ Your approach to pink sway: I am doing a strict IG diet (although I will probably add in some caffeine free diet coke to my sway), O+12 with tbm using a DC. Will do a little acijel before and lower with lime as needed. Dh is abstaining. Lots of neg ions.

Mocha I totally hear you about the stressful meal weekend. We have a family birthday, 2 cookouts, a bridal shower, a wedding, and family reunion in the next 2 weeks! No idea how I am going to get out of eating at all those things. Hopefully there is chicken at all those!
I am currently on cd 42 and haven't O'd :( I was taking SP but stopped it almost 2 weeks ago. No idea what is going on but hope to O soon so I can start my first attempt!

Just updating my original plan- dropping Rephresh unless PH shoots up (I tend to stay pretty low) and hoping to BD through O rather than a cut-off. LE diet adjusted just to maintain weight rather than keep losing.

Here's to September!!

I'm also updating my original attempt. No rephresh, no vitex or sp. Adjusting le fist to maintain current weight!

♥ Swaying Status: Now! Third month
♥ TTC DC # 3.
♥ Your approach to pink sway: LE diet but trying to gain weight so, no breakfast and no snacking, LE lunch, normal dinner tendentially more carbs and low fat (I do eat fish, chicken and eggs but try to keep protein low the rest of the day), late night snack of rice cakes and white chocolate icecream (yoohoo!). 2-3 cups of coffee with sweetener during the day.
Trying to be less competitive in life and relax more. I take SP every other day, zyrtec around O, maybe a little sylk, DH abstains (if we don´t DTD too early). a lot of showers, for fun I have a salt lamp and a - ionizer on laptop and in the car.

Hope AF shows up really quickly Chicky!

Mocha, I so understand you being fed up of having to explain your weight loss and not eating meat to people and then watch them eat yummy things :hug2:

Hi all - I think I've updated everything but let me know if I've missed something!

Has anybody heard from Out of the Blue? I think I'll have to track her down and see that she's ok!

That's so difficult mocha. I'm sorry that something which should be enjoyable is being made so awkward for you.

We didn't DTD again last night. DH says he just doesn't get it and how do I think I'll get pregnant if I don't want him to have sex with me?! I can see his point ...

It's my DS1's 6th birthday on Sunday so it's going to be a busy weekend here, which I'm glad of - anything to stop the 2WW obsessing is a blessing! They're also back to school on Tuesday (and the summer has finally arrived today - a month too late!) so it'll be my DS2's first ever day at school. They're growing up so quickly. They picked up some free Playmobil computer games at the toy shop this morning and want the laptop so I'm going to hand it over and get out in the garden and do some much needed pruning.

There are so many of us ttc in September, I really hope it's a good month for us all!

Z, I think o oftb might be feeling rough with ms and therefore not on much. I'm also wondering about purplepoet? My ds1 is starting school on wed, he looks so cute in his uniform! Happy birthday to ds1. Hope you can keep distracted in the ww!!
