Anyone want to be my pink sway buddy?

Thanks so much hotlikemexico!! You made me feel so much better. That is hilarious about you scraping chocolate chunks with your teeth out of your DH’s cookie [emoji23] I love it! Haha. Oh my goodness I so wish we only had to sway for one day. I honestly can’t wait for this sway to be done and me be pregnant again but at the same time I’m not wanting to wish the summer away with my kids at all! It’s just a challenge doing the sway that’s the only reason. I honestly don’t know what I would do without our support group here and Atomics guidance! I’m so blessed by it.

Thank you so much again for your encouraging words. I am moving on from it! I feel like I need a pep talk about it every week. [emoji23] it’s all good. Thanks girl! [emoji3590]

In the meantime I’m praying about it all and for my sway because after I do all the work ultimately it’s in God’s hands. I’m in need of His grace! He is the One who is in control. I will be praying for all you ladies as well that you are able to have the desires of your hearts. It is such a blessing to be on this journey with you all, even in the hard times. And what a blessing it is to have Atomics amazing guidance - wow! You are all a God send for me! [emoji177]

I know exactly what you mean! I can’t wait for August so we can start trying already, but at the same time I don’t want to wish the summer away either!

Agreed! I would so love a May baby! You have time while the kids are still in school (assuming they go back to school this year [emoji51]) to hang out and bond with baby for a month or so before they’re back home for the summer.

I have one winter baby (Dec 19 so actually a Christmas baby LOL) and one summer baby (August 4th - can’t believe he’ll be 4yo in less than a month! [emoji30]). With DS2 it suuuuucked being pregnant through the summer, LOL. His due date was actually August 12th but I’m glad I didn’t have to go that much longer being hugely pregnant in the heat!

At this point I think a late spring due date would be awesome lol [emoji16] A nice middle ground between my winter and summer babies haha

Hi ladies!! I’m actually considering holding off on TTC, but I wanted to ask everyone. Since I’ve started working out I’ve noticed some vaginal itching, I’m not sure if it’s chafing or a yeast infection as I’ve never had one... anyone have any experience? TIA!

Pretty- I’m not sure I didn’t ever experience that over the years

Hpt are getting more faint, I now have creamy cm. Hoping AF comes by next week

why considering holding off? Just curious!

Unfortunately I have had many a YI, so I’ve got much experience there (so jealous you’ve never had one LOL). The itching can be mild at first but left untreated becomes unbearable, like “wanting to take a rake to my vagina” unbearable. [emoji24] The thing wirh YIs though, is you will def have the discharge. I’ve seen it described as “cottage cheese - like” discharge online. Idk that I would go that far, but it is definitely clumpy white discharge beyond what your normal discharge is like. It there’s no accompanying discharge I would say maybe chafing rather than a YI?

Thank you! Great info!! Everything I read mentions discharge too, and since I actually feel quite dry I am thinking maybe chafing but the itch is so bad a rake sounds amazing!! My doctor called in an anti fungal that is just two pills, so I think I’ll take it just in case (I’d hate to assume it’s just chafing and then have a yeast infection get outta hand) but it’s probably gonna come back to bite me lol.

Here is why I am thinking about waiting(link below)I still don’t have a period, but I just keep thinking if I wait a few extra weeks, maybe I’ll be more confident and have more time to diet and exercise (I’ve actually been doing great exercising every day)

I live in the Netherlands but was born and raised in the UK and moved here at the age of 15 with my parents.

Are you ladies taking folic acid? I bought them this week but saw that it wad folic acid with vitamin D... is that ok? Or does it sway boy that any of you know?

I hope we can all get started soon with TTC and get those two gorgeous stripes soon�� Nice though to do it together. Nice to meet you all

try to find folic acid or folate without added Vit. D.

Hi Emily! Welcome!

Do you have a little boy? That is exciting about TTC in September for a little girl. My husband and I are also going to start ttc the end of August beginning of September. We have 3 little boys and are swaying for a girl for our fourth and last baby. Are you doing the PCOS le diet? That’s the one I’m doing and almost finishing week 6 of it.

Having a follow up tmrw. Been having creamy cm now watery , hpt is faint but still there not sure if I will ovulate or get AF only time will tell. Our little lake house getaway was helpful, feeling better and so ready to try again :)

Proud mom welcome and good luck :)
This site is very helpful and so welcoming! You’ll love it! I didn’t enjoy other swaying groups before I had my second DD they were iffy since Already had a daughter, this site is the best and most helpful. Reading the forum will provide a ton of info! :) Pink Dust

Had my follow up doc said test is now negative, everything looks good on my scan lining is normal, AF should be coming soon as she said. Not sure if I would ovulate before AF, but pretty sure waiting for AF cycle to return then try would be more healthy :)

That’s wonderful princess mom!! I hope everything works out for you!!!

Hi all, I had my appointment with my fertility dokter yesterday. And I probably won’t get clomid so i felt dissapointed. I hoped to get it for my pink sway. She saw a cyste on the scar of my caesarean and wonder what it could be. I was diagnosed with endometriosis a few years ago but they removed it during a laparoscopy. They said that it couldn’t come back. But I thought it couldn’t be cured? Would the cyste mean that the endometriosis is back? Well I just have to wait until I had my bloodwork and hysteroscopy done.

I’m so sorry :( did u ask doctor? I haven’t heard of that before. I’m sure if it was something serious she would say but only way is hysteroscopy. That shouldn’t interfere with ovulation?

My Mom told my sisters and me today she went to doctor and been experiencing issues and has to rule out cancer cervical, pelvic, colon cancer she most likely has something up with her colon. Now I’m all paranoid and feel horrible for feeling sorry for myself now my heart and mind is just on my Mom. Most likely she has a fistula, first time I’ve ever heard of this. 2020 just sucks

No I didn’t ask. She didn’t say I have to worry and she was explaining some other things too that eventually I forgot to ask. I will update when I had the hysteroscopy.

I’m sorry about your mom and about how u feel. But please don’t feel sorry for yourself.
You can't help it that you long for a girl and that your mom has health problems. I hope for you both that everything will be fine soon. You are there for her and you support her that is the most important thing.

Thank u so much

My bbt finally dropped today it been 98.20 since d&c today it was 97.5 since yesterday I’ve been having pink cm and since doctor test was negative I’m hoping this is indicating AF starting

Hi & welcome Emily! [emoji847] Nice to meet you!This site is awesome and has tons of great info. I started my pink away on May 2nd and we’ll begin actively TTC with my next cycle in about 1.5 weeks! [emoji16]

Princess mom - 1st just wanted to say that if your mom does indeed have a fistula, they can usually fix those with surgery, and it’s def treatable! Fingers crossed that’s all it is! [emoji1695] I’m a medical coder and I read and code inpatient medical records 40hrs a week — I’ve read about fistulas many times. I’ll be thinking of you & your mom!
2nd- that’s great news about your appt, spotting and bbt dropping! Hopefully this is the start of AF for you so you can get going with TTC again! [emoji1695][emoji1695]

I’ll come back and update on my in a bit [emoji4] it’s 945pm here and I’m just going out for my walk/jog now — it’s been SO HOT & HUMID here lately, I can’t bear to go during the day! Even now at 945pm it’s 73°F! [emoji1785]

Hi everyone!!! I'm swaying and hope to TTC a baby girl in September/October:)
I swayed last November but had a miscarriage in January and April so I took a break and I'm back at it now with the help of doctors this time :)
I have 2 boys, 5 and 3.
I eat... around 12 I'll have a sandwich that's either peanut butter or eggs or turkey with hummus and cucumber then around 3 I'll have a yogurt and apple and then around 6/7 I have a chicken wrap with a soup.
I ate this almost everydag so I'd live some new ideas on what you're eating so I can hopefully switch it up this gone around. I am doing the alternate diet with limits at 60g. Nice to meet everyone :)

What are you ladies thinking of doing regarding frequency?
I dont quite understand all the abbreviations hihi.

I have read about frequent release from AF (what does that stand for?) and then 7-10 days in a row and then one attempt at positive OPK...

Can someone explain it to me what their plans are regarding frequency with the full out terms instead of the abbreviations?

Guys please, if you have a question for me to ask, please start a thread just for that question because I can't read these support threads daily. Proud Mom, can you explain what your SPECIFIC question is, so I don't waste time explaining a lot of different things you already understand?

Our list of abbreviations is here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...on-Translation

I’m actually doing classes now for coder so awesome you’re one! I’m two classes away from starting coding classes. She is seeing a specialist this upcoming week have to rule our cancer first, I told her calm down she scared since her Dad my Grandfather suffered for cancer he got it back three times and lost his battle a few years ago.

AF still hasn’t shown just here and there pink cm I’m guessing af should come shortly hoping by next week no need for me to stress I guess pink cm spotting is indicating my hcg almost being zero

Proud mom frequency I’m not even sure the whole situation pretty sure it’s BD daily , I will just be BD “baby dance” every 3 days

No, FR is not BD (baby dancing, aka having sex) daily. FR is having your husband release once, on his own or with you, with a condom or other protection, 7-10 days in a row before having ONE attempt.

BD daily is a great way to get a boy. Please no one BD daily unless you are using protection.

You guys, please start your own threads for these kinds of questions so I can reply to them. I can't keep up with support threads and then people with good intentions give misleading answers without intending to. I am happy to answer all the questions you guys have it's just hard for me in threads where lots of people are talking all at once.

Oh no, sorry Atomic. :(
I dont want to make it harder for you, given how much time and effort you put into answering everything. I was hoping someone else in this thread could help me out a little so you wouldnt have to (guess it worked out otherwise, sorry!) the link is useful! Thank you, now I understand a lot more LOL.
My husband actually said today that he would like to help me TTC girl but only with the frequency of BD.
I will post my specific question in a new thread, only for that question :)
Im still figuring out how this website works and at the same time I was also just curious as to what the other ladies are planning on doing, just because there are different ways on frequency.

Again sorry,

Emily

There's no need to apologize, you would never know what my preference is if I didn't let you know!!! No one needs to apologize, no one did anything wrong, I just want to be sure you guys all get your questions answered to the best of my ability and the support threads are great, but just harder for me to read and reply to. :)

It is actually much, much easier for me to just answer questions in the first place rather than hunt down inaccurate info after the fact. It's absolutely fine for you guys to come together and compare notes, of course - but when there's a question I do want to reply to it since I answer all questions asked of me! :)

Hi there!

I've been reading this post, and i think it's the motivation I need!

I have 3 boys (littlest DS only 3 months and half) and I'm longing for a baby girl. I had quite bad gender disappointment with my last, i think that it had more to do with the fact that it was a surprise baby and everything was out of my control (new job position, the baby...) - everything very blue friendly, right?!
I'm so in love with my little boy, he's so smiley and easy that he makes it very difficult not wanting to have another baby.

I'd love a gap starting at about 18 months - although i think a 2 year gap has worked really well for us - so that means we should start TTC at around xmas time. I still have plenty time to start the sway but i'm trying to adjust my habits a little bit.

For now, I'm not snacking between meals most of days. I'm doing really well in the mornings, but i still find it harder in afternoons some days. As I'm exclusively breastfeeding, i'm not being very strict, because there's been a few days that i've felt like if i had a black hole in my stomach. I'm 5kg over my pre-pregnancy weight (i'll miss the ones that went to my breasts), so i have enough there to loose. I tend to slim down really fast breastfeeding, but with all the covid s**t we're not moving so much and i'm missing the long walks.

I'm also trying to avoid meat or fish as much as I can. I want to become a vegetarian, but i'm worried about my children's nutrition and I have to find recipes to cover their protein and iron needs. We have chicken like once or twice a week, and maybe some hake or salmon once a week too. We rarely have red meat and i'm finding texturised soya to be a very good alternative to mince.

My big deal are cereals. I'm a big cereal and porridge fan, so around september or october i'll try to stop eating them or limit to the ones that are not fortified for a cheat.


Exercise wise, i'm starting to go back to walking-running and cycling on a roller (my DH uses it to train for his mountain bike), but i find it really hard to get more than 2-3 days a week for now. We're still adjusting to this new routine and with the heat it's not easy either. Also DH has being doing extra-hours at work so our "me" time as been nearly non-existent.

Looking forward to see how you all do, you all look really motivated!
Sorry about the lenght of the post!
Pink dust to all of you xxx

No need to start diet so much out because then you will get irritated about it lol. Exercising has got amazing results I would totally stick to it and starting practicing the diet. With my successful sway, I cooked whatever I usually would make and just ate the sides. I wish you the best, once you get on the LE it gets easy to stick to it’s really not that difficult. Only thing that is hard for me is I rather eat candy or a donut than an actual meal haha. I don’t care to eat fruits and veggies either. I think that age gap is perfect. My first two are only 16 months apart, so everything they do is together. Reason why I waited I was younger when I had them two. I’m praying for one more

I’m so confused! Friday I’ll be 5 weeks post I’ve been having brown pink cm for past 6 days which gets less each day. I had watery cm last week around July 14-16.
I tested negative at doc office last week but w dollar tree it was faint, seem to be decreasing since I took a few this week. I took frer two days ago it took a few minutes to show up and was faint like how my test looked with previous pregnancies around 10dpo. Today still no af my temps are elevated but my sleeping is horrible so not relying on it. Took frer I’ve been up from 8 took one around 11:30. This showed up I’m confused and not sure what to think can’t even remember when I had sex, only time I remember was July 14 because we were at a lake house. Before than no clue, I’m so confused and worried. Going to get more frer later and re test tomorrow or following day with fmu

Update start bleeding heavy and some clots cramps guess it af no clue how frer was so dark today

Hi and welcome to all the newbies to the thread! [emoji16] I’ve been slightly MIA, so sorry! It’s SO hot here still that I’ve been going for my nightly jog at like 9-930pm so between work, kids/dinner, and then jogging late, I’m so exhausted after I shower I haven’t been able to keep up here! [emoji30] hopefully Friday night I can come back and write a proper reply to everyone else and update on me as well!

Princess mom- no way, you’re going to school for coding?! How cool! In two weeks from yesterday I will have been a coder for six years already [emoji16] I love it! Don’t get me wrong, it has its own share of stresses and annoyances like any other job, but overall I enjoy what I do. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask! [emoji4] ALSO I thought of you earlier this week, I coded another fistula repair! Easy and no problems. Thinking of you and your mom and hopefully her situation is just as simple [emoji4]

Also, no idea about those FRERs? That’s weird! Maybe it was just more concentrated urine? Either way yay for AF! CD1 for me should be early next week, we will almost be on the same cycle, so cool! [emoji16]

Hello everyone! We will be pink sway TTC from August onwards so fingers crossed, following the LE diet, supplements and other advice too.
Great to be in this group!
Best of luck to all, Vx

I can understand you’re exhausted Hotlikemexico!!
Take your time and look after yourself ;)

Welcome to all the newbies after me!
Lots of pink dust to everyone.

Welcome to all the newbies as well! So happy you are all here!

I was just wondering in this group who is all doing the PCOS le diet? I’m trying to limit my sugar intake even more. I was having 1-2 cheats a week. But this diet is supposed to be no sugar. I am starting week 8 of the diet this week. I will be happy when it’s done and we can start TTC lol.
