have you had your dating scan date come through yet Zana?
I had my booking in appointment with the midwife today but the scan date will come in the post, not long to wait though! I just really want to know that there's actually a healthy baby in there - it's hard to believe until you've seen or heard it isn't it? I still feel like a fake!
Did your midwife try to find a heartbeat today?
I know what you mean - I won't rest easy until I 1) hear a heartbeat and 2) see that there's only ONE baby in there! It's so hard to believe I'm pregnant most of the time, especially since that bit of m/s I had seems to have been a one day thing.
It didn't even occur to me until afterwards that I could have asked them to try to find a heartbeat! To be honest, I think they would have said it's too early. I have to wait for my scan date to arrive in the post so still no news on that front. I'm just pleased DS3 was so well behaved because I was really worried about an hour long appointment at the time when he's usually sleeping! I gave a LMP date 3 days before my real one because I wanted the EDD to be the correct one by when I ovulated - and they still gave me a due date 2 days later than they should have! I'm sure they don't read their little wheel thing right sometimes but my due date will probably be decided by my 12 week scan anyhow.
That's exciting! Most mws in the UK won't even try to find a heartbeat until 16weeks

Really? Here in Canada, they always try to find a heartbeat during the first appointment, after warning you that it's really early and not to worry if they can't find it. Maybe it's to add a little excitement to an otherwise mundane appointment that includes a pap smear and blood work. I'll be 10W1D at my first appointment.
If only they did that here too! I heard Williams heartbeat from 10 weeks as I bought my own doppler, but TBH up until 9 weeks the uterus is still behind the pubic bone so it would be VERY difficult to find the heartbeat anyway?
They didn't find ds3's heartbeat at the first appointment or my twins' heartbeats, so I agree it's rare to hear it that early - as I said, they warn you not to worry if they don't find one.
Hi girls, I'm back.....
CD1 for me, so roll on the next 2 weeks till I can try again! Thinking of doing compressed release this time though rather than daily release as think it is potentially more effective.
Zan, good luck for your scan date. I would very much doubt they would have listened today even if you had asked! They couldn't find DS2's heatbeat at 16 weeks! (was a bit scary at the time but think she was just being a bit thick!!)
Good luck to anyone attempting soon. xx
If it helps ease any of your minds, both of my son's heartbeats were detected at 10 weeks. I was/am relatively thin so this may help?
I'm considering starting licorice root for the PCOS in addition to the saw palmetto and metformin I am taking. I'm not sure it is safe so I have to do some research, but I don't want to be the pear-shaped, no boobs, bearded lady. :D
Is it you who was taking Saw P before fresas? I know there was somebody and the advice was definitely not to - if it wasn't you I'll try and find the thread for you.
still waiting for OV here. 5th "high" on my monitor today. Not sure if LH is rising or not yet, so not sure when OV will be but hopefully soon.
It has struck me that if I ovulate in 2 days time and go on to get pregnant I will have exactly the same due date as my angel baby had, just 2 years later. Hoping my angel baby sends me their baby sister...
Awww....I'm sure that is a sign this is your month, rainbow :HH:.
So after 3 months of not ovulating, taking provera to get af going again, and then clomid...I finally O'd yesterday!!! It was cd 16 and we made our attempt this morning at 1am. I was aiming for O+12 so hopefully I caught it. My signs were off from what they usually are so we'll see. So happy to be over with my attempt and I really hope I don't need to go through another attempt! My doc did an u/s on cd15 to check my follicles. She said my right side was too big so it was considered a cyst but that my left side looked good. I took an opk when I left the office and got my positive! But oddly I felt O pains on my right side. Could I have ovulated on both sides? She thought the right side was too big but also thought it would be a few more days til I O'd. Can't wait to test...holding off til 10dpo (I hope).
Good luck ladies!
Good luck Chicky!
Good luck Chicky, FX your attempt will be succesfull!
thanks Mocha!
Good luck Chicky!
Yes ma'am. I'm taking SP still. I will look to see about the interactions between licorice root and SP. I joined the soul cysters message board, too. I literally am so short on time and I have ADD (true story) so I have a hard time keeping up with everything, but I figure that staying semi-active in awesome communities like this one and a couple of others is a good thing. :D
How are you feeling, btw?
rainbowflower, good luck conceiving! :)

yes rainbowflower I have been more emotional, cry more easily but also I tend to get depressed more easily since swaying. Have to say that I like to look into things, but surely it is because my testesteron is down and my progesteron up :)
I have to say that I feel a bit like I was in a bit of a fug when I was planning my sway, it was so difficult to think of anything else and whenever I should have been relaxing and enjoying doing things with the family I was just wanting to log in to the site and talk about my obsession! I feel like a weight has lifted now I'm pregnant. I also had the most hideous episode of PMS the cycle before we conceived - the month I took SP and Vitex the whole month long - and I don't usually get PMS at all. It was nasty!
Yes zanacal thatīs how I feel and why I want to get pregnant soon, to have that weight lift off.
I wanted to stop swaying this cycle but I have a hard time doing that, I have a mild case of swayorexia :)
I could enjoy eating again if I knew I was pregnant, now if I eat breakfast and snack, I know this is going to sway boy for me even more than it has in the past because now my body would totally feel times have gotten better!
I totally crave a lot of food when I see it but I canīt make myself having breakfast again or eat boy foods. This makes me very cranky :mad:
And I really would love another boy, I just want to have a 50/50 change for a daughter..., so Iīm on rice and leeks again :sigh:
So my new plan is: if I donīt get pregnant this month I will get off the diet and just do cardio every day
I think my problem is that I love food - especially tasty food! I am really not a nice person on Vitex and SP but can't give it up! I feel like I put my all into last month's attempt and didn't catch the egg and am not being nearly so good this month.
I am skipping breakie and cutting back on the meat (my attempt at vegetarianism is dreadful!). I lost about a stone in 6 weeks before last month's attempt but don't really have that much more I can lose so feel like that is letting me down as well.
I have a week till my next attempt so will try really hard on the diet and try to catch that eggie!
Sorry for the ramble! x
Good luck maybe! Weīll be O buddies, FX
I love tasty food too. I was doing fine on the diet so I didnīt really miss tasty food, but I cheated a lot in my last 2ww, and I have to say Iīd almost forgotten how good things taste when thereīs salt in it !
Hi, all. Forgot this thread was here! So here's a funny story...
DH has been bringing home loads of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, cake, etc. We never have that kind of stuff in our house! He said he was trying to cheer me up. I told him that was sweet but then to stop it b/c I need to start swaying. He then continued to bring that stuff home and I asked why...He said he remembered me saying one time that guys being a bit over weight/pudgy could sway "girl". I LMAO and said not to worry about it. Poor, sweet DH. I'm so lucky to have him. He said he won't lift weights anymore (which he did every early a.m.) and that he'll happily take Lic. Root and eat anything I give him. Just wanted to share.
Declutter declutter declutter.... We sold a house in 7 days by packing away nearly everything, except for a weeks worth of clothing. We had 1 painted picture in each room, limited furniture placed so the room felt big, we sent the pets to Grandmas house, and we cleaned right before the 3 showings (2 to the same people).Quote:

No need to set the table but some flowers and placemats are nice... Kids rooms should be simple and clean. We had just a bed and dresser with the beds made. No toys people hate toys for some reason... Bathrooms should be the cleanest. Only have a mat by the sink and nothing by the toilet or bath or on the toilet. People see the mats in the bathroom as germ filled and will be turned away.
Good smelling things help like fruit. Cut some citrus fruit and throw it in the garbage disposal and turn it on so the sink smells good. Don't use air freasheners because people think you are hiding something. Don't use fake plants because it makes you look to lazy to care for a house. If your house is small buy/borrow small scale furniture.
