Good luck Jen...fx for a BFp this month!
I don't know how you girls do those nasty drinks...just tried doing a gelatin drink and couldn't get more than three sips down...gross!!
Our attempt is due this week...I am due to O on my birthday, the 28th! here is to hoping that I get a really great birthday present this year!
The other day I made Jigglers with my gelatin and it was so yummy! Take 2 cups juice (1/2 cup cold) and mix with 3 packets gelatin (then add 1 1/2 c hot juice). Once it sets you can cut it up and munch away! Maybe I'm nuts but I love my jello treats each day lol
Hey hey ladies! Been MIA with that sick DD but she's MUCH better today after 3 days on the antibiotics. Thank you all for the well wishes :-)
Jen I am so excited you got that attempt in! What did your midwife say that made you think this might take a while? Does she know you're swaying? I LOL about getting knocked up in the car on the way home! And I remember when you first came back to IG and you and DH were only going to try for a month ... I'm so glad you decided to keep at it, and that DH is so into it too.
TTC5 I think that pH is stellar. No reason not to try getting it higher as it sure wouldn't hurt, but I really don't think it HAS to be a 9 to get a boy. Look at all the failed sways for girls where people had low pH and still got boys. And an 8 isn't even low; that is on the higher side of normal for dh!
Skrimpy I can't believe you're now 35 weeks. FX you hold that baby girl and feel the GD just fade away.
My O was early this month by a day ... I still struggle with getting lots of EWCM! It is certainly more than I had months ago, but still, I don't have what anyone could call lots. I'm thinking about trying fertileCM this month. I've been using EPO and like I said it has helped, but it sure hasn't really gotten me where I think I need to be.
How much protein are you ladies getting each day? Does anyone have a target number? I know Atomic says high but I don't know that I've seen a rec'd amount anywhere.
The jiggler recipe looks great! I will try it this week for sure! Maybe that will help for you too Princess!
The one thing I'm freaked out about most is the getting preggo right after having the IUD removed. What do ya'll think should be the cut off date for DTD before the appointment?? I mean the appointment is on Friday am.....so I'm thinking Monday.
TTC - I think that your DH's ph is good enough for a nice attempt. I would try and work on it til you are ready, but I think that is high enough for a nice attempt. Aren't you guys going to start in June?
Jen - FX for you to get a blue BFP!!
sdmommy - I agree with the others that it could be a supp. I would be far more inclined to blame a supp than diet unless you are eating a lot of soy. Have you tried adding in some more fat into your diet to build up the EWCM? CLO or fish oil, or maybe some extra butter here and there. I know that adding some extra fats into my diet helped increase my EWCM before we swayed for our 2yo.
mms - I think Monday is probably a good cutoff if you're having it out on Fri
begonia - so glad that your DD is doing better!!
Thanks Skrimpy!
princessap, good luck on your attempt.
begonia, glad your little girl is doing better xx
