Yay, dreaming! Good luck!!
I haven't lost any weight, if that makes anyone feel any better LOL! But my BMI is pretty much the lowest it can be to be "normal" (18.5 or so) so I have just did other things recommended for swaying. I am 29, DH is 27, so if this one is a little guy there is always next time! I will be fine with having another boy because then my son will have a buddy...a girl would be nice too because I am a girly person so I will have a girl in the house. I just want to get pregnant though...this will be our 3rd month TTC...past couple months I was not doing OPKs or tracking anything so I was probably missing the O window (hopefully). I also started taking saw palmetto this cycle on a whim...is there a way to tell if it is doing anything or not? I am thinking no but wanted to see if anyone has experience with it. I think I will get a +OPK Tuesday or so. I hope.
Oh thought of another question! Are any of you taking a prenatal or anything during the 2WW or are you continuing the diet during that time?
I'm in the tww and sticking to just folic acid. I'll start prenatals if and when I get a bfp. prenatals sway blue and if it's not my mo I don't want to screw it up by taking a ton of vitamins.

Good luck to you both who opk+ today! Like you, dreamingofwin, the tests confuse me, but I think I got a positive today, too. I guess it's over to the tww now!
Teacher mom, I always ended up cheating a lot during the tww, but would hold off on just folic acid until you get a positive. That's just me, though.
Hey guys,
Wow so many BD's at valentines day baby conceptions fingers crossed XXX
I have had just the one BFN and I was down for about a day:( I think because I conceived my boys the first time we tried both times though being 28 and 30 I was that much younger! Arimethia I hear you it only takes one BFN to take the wind out of your sails and start doubting being able to get pregnant at all!
I feel perhaps I can go on the LE diet, one attempt, using zyrtec, no o, jump and dump for another three months max then maybe drop a few things to just get pregnant! I never have done the excersize and I am eating some meat within the limits but still! so already cheating on these things.
So great being able to talk it over with you guys I have not told a soul I am doing this my husband does not believe in it and I think a lot of people would judge me especially if I end up with another boy!
Quick question for those that brought the customised plan.... nuthin but pink said it would deft. say 'dream baby' on your credit card statement did it have any other details? Paranoid! But I figured I could white lie and tell my husband I was buying ovulation monitor or something like that....
XXXX
All mine said was dream baby. I used my personal checking account. We have a joint account and I have a personal one as well. The personal account I pay all the bills out of, the joint is money left over for dh to spend as needed lol. It's sort of like his "allowance" even though he has his own checking account that his va disability goes into and uses that usually.

I think we will continue to sway pretty hard although I might alternate clomid and vitex cycles. I think the hardest this is this diet. I'm having a hard time with it in this tww!!

thanks greeneyes! I don't think I can pay via debit accounts as I am in N.Z but might just pay on the visa and hopefully he will 'buy' my answer.
I need that extra bit of coaching from atomic so I don't drive everyone crazy with questions :)
good luck with your TWW! what day are you on now?
xx
I think I'm 6dpo.

not long now until you can test :) unless you can hold out! xx
super excited! just brought my customised sway plan! fingers crossed hubby buys my excuse feeling terrible lying to him but i think he may freak out if I told him the truth and possibly call of TTC full stop! X
Hope you get away with it!!
Well the deed is done! Temp didn't rise this morning so hopefully tomoz otherwise it wasn't my positive!! Ill be sticking to the diet in the 2ww although I'll allow myself anew cheats. We go away on 21st for a week so that'll be hardest x

I appreciate this site so much--I can't talk about the desire for a girl elsewhere, because it feels like it would diminish my love for my two beautiful boys, but boy, I sure want a girl, as well. You all understand, and I am grateful to all of you for that. Fortunately, my DH does get it--a couple years ago, when we first started talking about another baby, he said, "why would I want more kids? I've got two boys!" And then he realized what he had said. I hope, if your husband foes realize what the sway plan is for, kitkat, that he can embrace the reasons you want to at least try.
Cool about the temps, dreaming! I think it is so fool how many of us O'd right now. I also am beginning to understand why so many of my students have November birthdays!
Argh! I've just got a real positive opk!! We dtd last night though. Feel like we should have waited now.
I can't do it again no???
I think your timing is perfect!!

Does anybody else have +OPKs for days? For three days now the test line has been as dark or darker. We had our attempt on the first day I got a positive so now I'm just hoping the :pinksperm: survive long enough to meet the egg. :worry:
Yes snap!
I am hoping that too...I am stopping testing now as I temp anyway. Do you temp? X
Congrats, dreaming!
My last night was a bust. :( Dh caught the kids’ cold and was useless last night. God bless him, he tried, but couldn’t seal the deal. I sent him to bed with Nyquil instead. Today I’m feeling like I’ve go the cold now, too. I took an antihistamine this morning, so hopefully that just helps the sway, right? Dh says he’s well enough to go golfing today, so he dang well better be well enough to dtd tonight.
Of course, now we’ve got another kid down sick, too, so Interruption-ville just added one more resident.
Mamer – I hope the spontaneous-ness of Valentine’s day does the trick for you. And no worries about a long moan... that’s what we’re all here for. Like ltester said, this is the place to come commiserate, as we’re all feeling the same stress/worries/emotions. I know I am at least!
Good luck with the customized sway, kitkat. I hope dh skims that line on the cc statement. ;) Guys can be so funny about stuff like this, right?
I have not been temping as I don't go to bed or wake up at the same time everyday and when I did temp my temps were all over the place. It doesn't fit with my schedule well. But I do keep track of cm and it's changed to cloudy and sticky so I'm guessing I o'ed. Now to just not go crazy during the 2ww! Planning on not testing until CD30 at the earliest if I can't wait for AF to show/not show. I drove myself a little crazy last month.
Good luck to all of you and happy valentines. I've had lines on the OPK for days now, yesterday was the darkest so far but still not positive according to the instructions....today absolutely no line so I'm hoping yesterday was it. And we BD last night because tonight is too alcohol involved lol
I can hardly keep up with all the messages but it's been great to read about all the valentine positive opks - good luck ladies x
I haven't temped only because I get up so early and it might wake DH if I do that in the morning - I get up about 2 hours before him so I just jump up when my alarm goes off and leave the room. As soon as I see white/cloudy cm
I'll know.
I had kind of become resigned to having another son and figuring if this next pregnancy is a boy I'll be alright but I was watching a show where a daughter was going off to college and her mom was saying goodbye and it made me realize how different that mother daughter bond is and I definitely crave it. My husband and I are going for one more biological kid and there's something about being a mom of all boys to be sure but I'm open to adoption of a girl down the road too, but I need to do some more soul searching and living before we commit to that whole process. I had a dream that I found out I was having twin girls and it surprised me how okay I would be with that. Lol two babies at the same time terrifies me!
I usually have several days in a row of pos OPKs.Quote:

I've had L&R ovary pain since O. Hope these triplet signs aren't that I'm going to have triplets!! Twins I can handle, triplets - no way!! :o

Oh and so my moan above about O wasnt warrented at all :oops: Sorry!
Triplets is a "Jesus take the wheel" situation for sure, lol. When I was pregnant with my second I had a dream I was having quintuplets!
Hi ladies... I have been off for quite a while so a lot of new names... I had a tubal reversal in September and been trying ever since... Kinda doing the diet but not exercising like I'm supposed to... This month is cycle #5... Dr wanted me to have an HSG test done to see if my tubes were still open... But we opted to try clomid a few months before we do the test... I am cd16 and had an ultrasound yesterday and it showed I have numerous follicles consistent with PCOS (which we. Knew I had) so he ran labs to check on my hormone levels, sugar, and a1C levels... I go back to the dr on cd3 for another ultrasound and hopefully wil start clomid that day too! Still hoping and praying for a girl but at this point it is what it is lol... DH still desperately wants a girl but he says he will be ok with another boy... Oh I have 2 boys already one 5 and one 3 on march 3.... So anyway good luck to everyone and I'll try to check in more often lol

Hello everyone! I'll be trying this month too! Purchased a plan in December, so been following that and diet for about 10 weeks or so. On CD6 now. Have 5 sons (ages 18, 11, 8, 5 and 1) and a daughter (age 3)hoping to give my girl a sister as she has started acting left out and literally attacks every little girl we come across with affection and admiration. I constantly hear her playing in her room with make believe 'sisters'. I'd like her to know I gave it my best shot!! I also had 5 brothers and constantly harassed my poor mom for a sister :-)
Hope everyone has a successful month!! Love is in the air :-D
Hello to everyone! Great to have more on board!
My temp didn't rise again :( wondering if we should do another attempt now? What u think? Did on thus night? I've seen people dtd every 4 days. Would that be dtd thus then sun? Or thurs then Mon? Hopefully I'll ov today anyway xxxxx
Ah thanks Mamer that makes me feel better. I am just so impatient. I was last time too. I don't think ill get pg anyway due to the back painkillers I am on I have had zero cm and not being able to get pg is a side effect so it'll be a valentines miracle if I do!
Hope its worked for us both on o-2. I am praying my temp rises tomorrow morning x
You've expressed my sentiments, precisely! I couldn't love my boys any more than I do, but there is a bond between so many mothers and daughters that I truly crave. I am anxious about what going through it all will be like (sleep deprivation and all!) but I secretly would be thrilled with twin girls! My one worry about another baby now is the age difference.... My boys are 6 1/2 and 5. That's a lot, and I worry about a baby being lonely as she/he grows up. Do any of you gave experience with age differences like that?Quote:

I do! My little sister is 9 years younger and there's 3yrs between me and my older sister is(yes ironically im one of three girls!) She was v happy growing up no issues. Now we are v v close as if no age gap. My older sister has 7yrs between her eldest 2 and 7yrs between her muddle add youngest. Again they play fine x
Haha, I have breastfeeding in my corner, age, number of pregnancies, I think my last pregnancy started as a twin pregnancy, clomid, I did vitex last cycle, family (personal) history of being a twin... lol If there is more then on in there, it better NOT be more then two! I don't think I'll be able to handle it!! lolQuote:

Dh was finally able to pull the trigger last night, so to speak. Yay! So glad as I was starting to worry this cycle was going to be a bust. Of course, I’m not thrilled with all the worrying – what a slippery slope! I worry, then worry more than I’m worrying too much, then worry about how to worry less... gah! It seems the more I try to chill and be the zen girl-mom, the more I obsess and worry. Anyway, at least I’m in the 2ww! We’re going out of town this week, which I hope help take my mind off of it. Other than that, I’m just going to continue the diet and exercise and still shoot for next cycle. Fingers crossed for all of us!
Oh, and I would be beyond thrilled to have twin girls! 3 might make me freak a bit, but 2 would be so much fun.
I am in awe at anyone having more than one child Haha!! I am terrified! My son was/isn't an easy baby though. He was reflux and allergic to diary (still is) top to toe skin shredded from it and left with bad excema. Worst was the crying and no sleep though. He screamed day and night sleeping approx 3/4 hrs out of 24 for months until he was diagnosed. He's been in hospital more times in this last 2 years than id like to remember too. He a little tantrum pants now but so loving nd I wouldn't change him. He's only just started sleeping through the night but still wakes a few times a week.
God we must be mad ttc again Haha!! So im terrified! Hats off to you mama's of lots of kids x
Out of five kids, I have had two with dairy allergies (the two I has with current dh). The one who is still nursing had soy, legume, dairy, pork, corn, wheat, tomato, strawberry, carrot, and we cut need out too cause of how close the protein is to dairy. He too was very colicky, has failure to thrive, had a tube feed at night with special formula but refused to give up the breast. He still nurses and I'm pretty sure I'm dry!! LOLQuote:
