Any July/August/Sept 2014 Swayers?

And I'm back...looks like a chemical pregnancy/early loss. Which is okay. It didn't seem that sad in light of what else we were dealing with. My dear friend passed over the weekend and I am doing his eulogy on Thursday. To be honest, I would be worried about being pregnant right now. I am not sleeping, not eating much or well, just generally in grief, so I wouldn't want to worry about harming the baby on top of that. (Which sounds awful when I read it like that, I just mean that I am okay not being pregnant for those reasons, not that I'd wanted that to happen). I'm not sure if we will try again right away or wait a month or two. I see benefits to both, but I'm not sure what we will pick. I'm not really thinking Bout it much right now. Thanks for the support. This site is fabulous in that regard.

Wanted to send my condolences for your dear friend hotdogz. I am so so sorry. Again I am also sorry for the loss of your pregnancy. Take some time to grieve and heal. Big big hugs.

When are you planning on trying?
Trying this year June, Aug, Oct, and Dec.

Have you started to sway yet?
Vegan diet of mostly veg, beans, and rice
Diet Coke and Crystal Light (fiber powder)
Zumba, Yoga, and Pilates
Clomid 50mg
Baby Asprin
Zyrtec and Bendryl (to wet with out it)
Folic Acid
rephresh (DH has high ph)
Dr Jonas Months only (correct for my boys)
Bedding every 4 days and after O

Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own?
Doing my own for now but if nothing happens by xmas then I will try a custom plan.

Which gender are you hoping for?
Hoping for girl but open the the chance of another boy. Husband only wants a girl.

Any concerns you have currently?
I do not want twins. After having 3 kids I only want 1 more.

Anything else you want to chat about?
Still unsure when to take clomid for a better chance at a girl and avoiding twins.

:( hugs hotdogz, having just been in one of those double whammy losses myself, I can feel your pain. It's good you're focusing on the positive, that's what's helped me the most the last 6 months or so.

Hi Ladies! Hope I can join in? Accidently posted this in the Jan-Mar thread yesterday..opps. I was on here a few months ago TTC but didn't fall pregnant so took a break and now I'm back and ready to give it another go. I have 2 boys, youngest is 2yo and in full on tantrum mode...OMG!! We are TTC a girl. So back on the LE diet which will be hard as I am now a SAHM and I tend to snack all day.
I was back on the pill for a few months as my cycles were irregular and I finished the last pack 2 weeks ago. Something weird happened though, normally I have a 6 day period but not this time...it was only 3 days :/ I'm guessing my body was just adjusting so I don't want to TTC this month as I want to see what my body does and let it get back to normal. So we will probably start trying in July or August.

When are you planning on trying?

Starting August or september

Have you started to sway yet?

Easing into it, no snacking, no breakfast
Vegetarian diet, once a week chicken (still in LE limits)
Diet Coke, yoplait light, daily alcohol
Baby Aspirin, fiber, folic acid, Zyrtec

Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own?

Have my sway pretty well planned but might get a plan from atomic just for peace of mind and to keep my stress levels down.

Which gender are you hoping for?

Girl

Any concerns you have currently?

If its a boy I'll be a bit disappointed, but I know I'll love him just as much as my other two. DH really want a girl so of this third one is a boy i really hope we can adopt a daughter for our 4th and be done.

Hi Mars, Welcome! I also have 2 boys 4 and 22 months and both are really pushing buttons lately. Of course everytime there is a scene DH says this is why he doesn't want 3, forgetting that this phase will be over eventually. But I'm still hoping he gets on board by next month when I want to start TTC. I do all the heavy lifting so to speak with the kids, and I'm going to suggest a few things which might make things a bit less stressful for him. We'll see.

Junie our boys are the same age, my eldest is 4 :) My DH is ok with it, he is happy to do whatever but I think this is due to him thinking with his privates and not thinking past the actual sex part lol!! He comes from a family of 4 kids where as I come from a family of 2 kids and I always wanted another sibling.

I'm a tad scared how I will cope with 3 but the desire is there and I will always be left wondering so we are going to give it a shot plus I love being pregnant. I dreamt the other night I had a baby at it was a boy but he was gorgeous so I hope this helps if I do get gender disappointment again but we have decided we won't find out the sex for our third and final baby :)

I am currently waiting for DH to get home so we can have tea, I am starving which I know is good but jees I could really do with tea soon!!!

My DH is one of three and I used to want 6 kids ( before I had any LOL) So it doesn't come as a surprise to him that I want one more but he just gets really bothered by little toddler things like being messy when they eat, fussing when they can't say how they feel, etc. I think DH just isn't really a baby guy but they don't stay little forever :)

Hello Ladies,


I am officially going LE food shopping today yay!! I plan on TTC this August, I have already been doing my cardio, skipping breakfast and trying to keep my food LE.. Having a very hard time with no red meat, we usually have it 4 times a week.. Thegood thing is we will be saving money not buying so much lol..I love veggies, rice and pasta :) I read a lot of Atomics meals and other members and have a lot of great ideas Thanks to everyone who has posted their meals! I am currently 165lbs and Im 5'4 with a BMI of 28.3 (sigh) I have struggled with weight loss for the past 4 years mostly from BC.. I am BC free and hopefully will be able to drop some lbs 1 to be healthier and 2 for TTC a baby girl :) DH is on board he said he is okay with eating less red meat, he is also ok with taking some supplements :)... I am 26, and he will be 30 this coming october. Now I just hope my 2 younger boys behave while we go to the grocery store ;) haha!

Hi lovely ladies. How's everything going?
All going good here. I've decided to change my sway a big. Change from
No breakfast to having breakfast and diner. Anyone else doing the same?
I also had pneumonia so exercise was put off!!!
We still have 4 weeks until first attempt. Hope you guys are going well

CherryBlossom, I hope you're over your pneumonia. Not exactly a fun thing to deal with.

Afm, spotting today. So, looks like for the second cycle running I have a LP of 14 days and ovulation day 21. Argh! I don't want my cycle getting longer. It only adds to the pain of waiting! Oh well, dh has been taking his tablets (due to me physically handing them to him). Argh, I really hope I get BFP next cycle. My FF subscription expires in 41 days!

My first after-loss cycle finally just ended, got weird spotting rather than AF and ended up 3 days late, wasted a bunch of tests lol suppose I should be happy a miscarriage didn't mess my cycle up worse, day late O and 3 days late AF isn't too bad at all specially being I don't plan an attempt until Aug. I've done really good with the exercise this week 5/5 so far :D happy about that, my decision to loosen up on the diet makes me nervous, hoping being better about the exercise will make up for it.

:hugs: I hope August is your month :)

What a blow out! I just looked at when I will be testing should we be in the 2ww for this cycle. I will be due to test the same time I tested when I tested for last bub. Which just happens to be my Dad's birthday. Should I ovulate on day 21 again, it will be the 7th of July. I ovulated on the 8th of July for the cycle I fell pregnant with our last bub. Just a bit of trivial info. Maybe it will be out good luck charm!

Still deciding if we will definitely go ahead with trying for our boy in sept. We need to do a renovation to our house and upgrade the car so I think I should put ttc off. But if I do that I will probably never have another one.

Part of me is trying to be practical, but on the other hand I really just want to throw caution t the wind.

Still following the boy diet and taking supps. Have also been going to the gum to build some muscle mass. I have been loosing weight, but I am hoping that it is slow enough that it does not sway girl.

Hey ladies. Can't keep this all off my mind at the moment although I'm striving to be more Mary than Martha :)

When*are you planning on trying?
Unsure yet as I'm BF so have no cycles. Hopefully August

Have you started to sway yet?
Went vegetarian early April and started LE at the end of April so about six weeks in now. Also started on folic acid and iodine supplements, with DH on olive leaf extract. I was going to take Vitex but as you're meant to take it two weeks on and two weeks off to avoid taking it when you might be PG, I'm now not sure about taking it as I've no idea when to!

Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own?
Got a plan this time round as my sway failed last time and I didn't want to get caught up in the details. Atomic suggested caution with the Vitex.

Which gender are you hoping for?
Girl!

Any concerns you have currently
Only that I'll do all this and end up with another boy :( otherwise I'm pleased that I'm doing well. I lost weight way too quickly last sway so this time I've been very careful at not going under my 1800 calories (remember I'm BF) each day. I've lost about 10lb in 10weeks :)

Good luck ladies! We'll get there!

Boysway, no I think that's kinda cool. I've mentioned before it weirded me out how no matter what happens, seems our cycles stay the sameish..like I have 2 kids that share a bday (DS1 and DS3), if I'd have gotten pregnant last month my due date would have been the same as DS2, If I get pregnant in end Aug my due date will be the same as the first baby I MC'ed in Nov...it's just odd.

AFM, I am dying, I had to go and complain about spotting not being sufficient to prove I wasn't pregnant and could drink. It's too light I said, I'm losing 4 months of lining 3 from pregnancy I said...now TMI but it's like a quite painful bloody Niagara falls lol shall make our father's day bbq today fun stuff.

So we had a "practice" session the other night, I'm not sure when I will ovulate (first month off the pill) but I think it could be in the fertile zone. I am meant to be waiting until next month but the thoughts consuming me so we just had a try :) The diet is the hardest for me, I am struggling not to snack during the day and when I do eat I am trying not to over indulge.

Unwirklich, yes I remember us talking about it before. It just blows me away just how close it might be. I could understand a week away but the day before is crazy, lol. Although I don't know dates for sure yet. We'll see in another few weeks.

Oddly calm today :ttc: tonight I am due to O today and we have not been in the mood so it has been 4 days. I am thinking of letting DH BBQ burgers because he likes to drink 3-4 :beer: while grilling. DH doesn't want to know the plan this time so we don't stress out. :fx: :pinksperm:

I usually ovulate on day 17. Today is day 13. Yesterday I had clear CM not a great deal though. Woke up this morning with my gall
Bladder pains ( I usually indicates O and period). I have cramping. I feel bloated and gassy. I literally feel like my period is coming =( if I am ovulating early this month will be for sure out as hubby doesn't get home for another 8 days

Hi ladies!!!

When are you planning on trying? First attempt will be in August - my cycle falls on a New Moon!! :)
Have you started to sway yet? Yes, I began eliminating certain foods and all vitamins from my diet. I also started the intense workout plan.
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? Working on my own.
Which gender are you hoping for? :ballerina: I already have two :DS:
Any concerns you have currently? Not really! I am just concerned that I won't get my girl..and I am fairly positive we're done at three!
Anything else you want to chat about?

Hi Kelley! I just read your post and I feel the same way about LE! I am a nutrition and fitness-obsessed gal (and I have two boys to prove it, LOL). The idea of "starving" my body into survival mode is kinda scary, LOL.
Dumping my supplements and weights just about broke my heart. It is really weird to pass up the whole grains and certain fruits/veggies at the store and go for white, processed junk. Not my favorite idea.

Lots of us feel the same. I just remind myself that I'm only changing my eating habits for a few months. As soon as we get a BFP I'll get back on my supplements and stuff my face with meat, fish and wholegrains :)

Hi ladies! Just got back from a great vacation where I ate normally and I'm not planning on really going back on LE completely until my mom leaves next week. DH is also still not totally on board with TTC but I think he is slowly coming around.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday x

Hi hope you dont mind me joining
When are you planning on trying? Aug/Sept

Have you started to sway yet? I was and got my bfp but then mc at 12 weeks so am starting again.

Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? I bought a plan.

Which gender are you hoping for? A boy

Any concerns you have currently? Lots! Dh is on a lot of meds which I'm afraid will effect our sway. Also obviously I'm afraid of another mc.

Sorry for your loss Babybeau, it is scary trying again :( and so confusing if you've had numerous healthy pregnancies before. You're left asking yourself what you did wrong this time.

Sorry for your loss babybleau and welcome!

Thank you both. I have a scan tomorrow to make sure everything is 'gone' can't wait to get it over with.
Unwirklich I'm sorry you had the same thing happen again so recently.
Can't believe I'm back to waiting for af and o again. Hope I'm not all messed up.

Hi!

I'm loving this site, so much helpful information!

When are you planning on trying? August/Sept

Have you started to sway yet? I've adjusted my eating and exercise habits and am really feeling the difference!

Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? Working on my own using all of the great info and experience on here.

Which gender are you hoping for? Boy

Any concerns you have currently? None really, I just hope I can keep up the diet changes etc without putting on too much weight.

I find it very interesting that "boy mums" trying for girls struggle with the reduced calories, lower nutrients and cardio exercise whilst I (as a typical girl mum) find the increased calories, variety and less cardio difficult! It really does show that we may be predisposed to conceiving a certain gender.

Oh you're telling me red! And the fact we need to do cardio on such lower nutrients is damn hard and keeping blood sugar levels low!

Had my scan, was given tablets to take and have to go back next fri again. Ugh, can this please not just be over?

I'm also ttc in july. Have to finish my birth control first. Would love a ttc buddy

Ttc a boy after three girls. Dh is convinced he can't have boy babies. Lol we are starting our swaying techniques asap and gonna try starting in July. Would love a ttc buddy to chat with

I hope everyone is doing well!

I am getting soooooo frustrated. I can't lose weight! I swear when I nurse the weight sticks to me like glue. I am getting frustrated and depressed about it. I get cardio 5 days a week, and still, nada.

Hey ladies, So I think I O'd yesterday or today which means our attempt last weekend was probably a bit soon. I'm ok with that though as it gives me more time to get my head back into the LE diet. I would be fine on it too except I love chocolate and I made the mistake of buying some a few days ago and since then I'm snacking on it all day, grrr!! Apart from that I'm exercising 5 days a week and just watching my calories, not having much protein is hard!!

Kasey have you tried fasted cardio? It's low intensity cardio on an empty stomach first thing. You would need to eat after though don't know how that would work on le. It's what a lot of bodybuilders do to strip away any fat before a comp.

Welcome tkelly. I'm TTC late July as well =)

I'm finding the cardio hard. Between everything else with little eating. Ugh.
Plus it's winter here so my kids have been on and off sick.
