Yay another boy on the way, congrats!!!
PoP, it's such a tough decision to make re work. What is your heart telling you? When do you have to decide by?
5, great news on your results. What a relief. I PM'd Flava on FB a few days ago, she is doing well. Just having a little break from GD for a while.
babyblessings, I really would not give timing a second thought. So you think you got in two attempts?
Cinss, looks like you're not too far off O. Good luck!
chitchat, welcome back :)
dloui, yay!! Congrats on your baby boy. Did you have an early gender scan? I was planning on waiting until AF was due... things didn't go to plan though...!
Lola, hope you are well.
Soooo, I tested last night and got two lines (I don't dare say those three little letters yet). They are darker today so I know it's not the trigger. The lines are actually quite dark for being 10/11dpo. Anyway, I am happy but not really excited yet. I'll just wait and see if AF stays away first.
Ohhhhh Bec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
I know!!!Quote:

Dloui - so happy for you - congrats once again :highfive:
And oh wow Bec !!! so very excited for you!
Thanks for asking - unfortunately, I think I only got in one attempt -we'll just have to wait and see... I guess that means that I am in the 2ww. Hope your two pink lines are there to stay & AF has taken a 9 month vacation! ;)
My OPKs have been stark white negative for the last 3 days, ive never seen them so light, would it be because i am drinking so much water? My urine is very very light in colour, almost clear. I thought i would have had a + by now but maybe its going to be today, i really hope so because i only have 1 left. Ill have to go to the chemist tomorrow and get more if i dont see a + today.
Bec - did you test this morning ;)
Cinss, try not to drink for an hour before you test x
Cinss, my positive OPKs were always a little lighter when I had had a lot to drink.
Yep, I did test, 5. It's darker :)
Great news Bec!!!
Can we say congrats yet ;)
Bec! Yay!! I'm with TTC5 on this one - surely its now safe to say the C word cos its sure sound like you are the P word! :-)
Cinss - whats happening??
Please could you girls help me with a dilemma I am having: since this month was so weird for me, I have stopped taking some of my supplements *in case* I am well, you know, the P word ;-) And I am not sure they are safe to take if you are? -- Things like URAL, extra potassium, zinc and vit D? how have you all approached this? I am still doing the HE diet, and still drinking V8 and coconut water and lemon water.
And then secondly, TTC5 - were you exercising at all for your sway? I know you were Dloui - I am not doing much at all (except for carrying and lifting heavy kids!) and was interested you hear how important you girls thought this was to swaying.
Haha, ok I think it's safe to say it ;)
Babyblessings, ural should only be taken from AF to O but I'm not sure about the potassium. Zinc & vit D are fine to take. In terms of exercising, I think it is important because it raises testosterone levels. I lift weights 2-3 times a week and do a bit of cardio as well. Have been doing the weights for 12 months now so hopefully it's made some difference.
Congrats Bec! :)
thanks bec! annnnnnd.....
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Just butting in here to say congrats to Bec!!
Huge congrats Bec!!!!
Ural Zinc and Vit D are all fine. Potassium, I would wean off.Quote:

Bec - CONGRATULATIONS :pickuphappy:
For me personally I think diet and exercise was important to me only because I NEVER exercised at all before so I wanted to do the complete opposite of what I use to do. So I started the HE diet and started going to the gym, I definitely think it helped up my T levels.Quote:

PoP- how are things? do you think the soy has helped? Have you made a decision on the job yet?
Cinss-did anything change with the OPK's?
Bec-congratulations again :) what is your due date?
baby blessings, I was moderately lifting weights and doing 20-30 mins of cardio 3-4 times a week when DS1 and DS2 opps happened to me :) I totally believe it was my healthy, high protein healthy fat diet and the moderate excerise I was doing that got me 2 boys.
Bec, I am sooooo excited for you!!!!!!!!!!
Bec Congrats Hun, here's to a HH pregnancy :)
Babyblessings, i understand the dilemma, you figure you could be preggers so there is really no need to continue on the supps. Just to be on the safe side though i would say continue a prenatal, Vit D is fine unless you are getting lots of sun, and folic acid is always good to take. Ural can be dropped for sure, it really shouldnt be taken for more than 5 days in a row before O. Sounds like you have the right idea though continue the HE diet, and if you are not working out it wouldnt really make a difference at this stage if you are pregnant. Buuuuut (im sorry to say it) if you are not pregnant (i hope you are) but if you arent, it would be a good idea to do a little workout every couple of days, so that next month you have that under your belt too. :)
As for me my OPK was almost + last night so i think it will be + today and i seem to O on the day of my + so we did 1 attempt last night with a teeny tiny bit of preseed. We will try again tonight, i am thinking about TBM tonight just because DPs load will be smaller. His load last night was huge (sorry TMI warning) I was spilling so much of it out, it was like a flood, i had my knees up and even tried crossing my legs but there was such a huge wet patch on the sheets :(
Cinss FX for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pop how are you going?
Good luck Cinss. I put a couple pillows under my butt after and held my legs up in the air that seemed to help and it gave DH a good laugh
(Aurora and dloui too) I am afraid that if I start now, my body will think its in 'losing weight' mode?Quote:

Calf raises, Sit ups, Push ups, Squats, Bicep curls with weights, Triceps with weights. Just for about 15mins 3 times a week.
But its not extreemly important and don't feel like you have to if you dont want to.
Ahhhhh, ok! I get it :-)Quote:

So I will definitely add your exact suggestion into my sway for next month - sounds not only do-able, but exactly what I need to be doing on the HE diet lol! can't handle this flabbiness on my belly!
Thankyou all for your wishes :) I think my due date is Feb 27th.
Babyblessings, just back onto ural again... I know it's safe to take during pregnancy for a short time but I wouldn't take it during the 2ww unless it was necessary. The salt content is too high to be taken for a prolonged amount of time. Like Cinss said, weight exercises will only help your sway.
Cinss, the TBM might be worth a shot if you leaked so much last night. My DH wanted to give it a go too but we were too 'in the moment' to stop and do it.
PoP, Lola, how are you ladies?
I am having a blood test tomorrow, feeling a bit nervous!
Just what Cinss said. If you are doing the HE diet and eating the protein and everything else you should be then lifting weights a few times a week is not going to make you lose weight, you will build muscle and that raises T levels. I worked out 2-3 times a week for 30 mins and did all weights no cardio, but I'm sure you could do some cardio if you wanted to.Quote:

Anyway after it was over i didnt spill a drop, but as i was laying there with my legs up i realised i didn't have the big O, ahh well nothing i can do about that now. I had a temp rise today so i definatly think i Od yesterday. FX
FX'd this is your month Cinss!!!!
