Looking through my diet log... I've actually been eating more than I had aimed for every day this time compared to last month, hence my weight just sitting as it is (which is annoying and disappointing and I wish I was 5lbs lighter than I am)! I don't get it... I'm only irregular when I sway.
Feeling a little better today as my weight went down a little, not up. *phew* :/
My OPK cheapie is the "darkest" it's ever been but digital is still negative (and the stick itself looks no different to the other ones.) I have three left of each... grrr! I can't believe I've already blown through an expensive 20 pack OPK box.
We DTD this a.m. as I won't see DH until Sunday night now.
Sounds like O could be coming soon if you got a dark cheapie. I really hope it happens soon and you get pg this cycle. How many attempts are you planning on doing?
Well, at this point... however many until I'm sure I've O'd. We've had three so far.
# of attempts is something I am really struggling with. I REALLY want to get pg and I just feel like with all the swaying supplements and RePhresh, and FR, that I need more swimmers to make it to the egg. But, I don't want to get into the boy zone with lots of swimmers! Ughh. Trying not to obsess b/c I don't want to raise T!
I'm right there with you. Unfortunately, I just really want to be pregnant this month. I only have 1 child (my son) so I feel like it's definitely not the end if it's another boy as I REALLY want my son to have some sort of sibling close in age. At this rate, I felt like we've messed around long enough... so I can see why my husband is starting to no longer be supportive of this "little experiment." We're both vegetarian, as-is, so I'm trying to hold onto that, too... so even if it doesn't work this month and we drop everything and just TTC in normal circumstances, that we still have a shot.
So I can see if you already have more than one boy how you'd REALLY want to do everything to the letter. I'm trying to let that go now... it's hard, though. :/
Exactly!!!! This will be my last child (I say that now) so I do want to try everything possible within my means. I do have to say that my GD was so much worse when we were TTC#2. I also thought that would be my last child. LOL! I think I have just come to terms that I am a boy mom and really all of this is up to God. My DH reminds me everyday that we can sway all we want, but in the end it isn't up to us. He is a big gym buff and he bought these hard core supplements but I am not letting him take them until I get a BFP. They are sitting on the counter in the kitchen and I know it is just a matter of time before he caves in and starts taking them. So...time is not on my side!
I think you have a great chance at a girl. Reduced fertility....obviously with your long cycles....and being vegetarian!
How much weight have you lost? I hope you get a BFP this cycle! I really do!
To go from clockwork 27 day cycles to super loooong cycles only whilst swaying, I guess... reduced fertility, but geez I feel like it was just too easy to cause this. Maybe I've always just been right and anything less is what throws me off since I already don't eat meat. Maybe I am just more girl-friendly than I think.
I don't know... I sure used to eat a lot of girl unfriendly things. My love of guacamole/avocados/burritos is high! I'd eat an avocado and cheese sandwich for lunch as often as I could buy decent avocados. I love fried eggs. I love beans and indian food (lentils/chickpeas/etc).... probably merely even *not* eating that stuff is all I needed to do, ha! I'll never really know since I initially went into this HARDCORE in Dec/Jan, going from my usual 118-120 down to 103 (not good...) and gave up before I even ovulated (55 day cycle)... then this last cycle was 50 day cycle though I only got down to 112lbs as I was trying not to be as restrictive. I had positive tests so I started cautiously eating normally again only for them to go negative again and me put on 5lbs like *that*... so started out again around 118 and now I've been hovering at 114-115 for EVER this cycle. So, as times goes on... I'm losing grip, I guess!
I'm still not eating burritos or any of that super healthy stuff, unless you count grapes/strawberries/mushrooms/salad healthy! Skipping breakfast, etc. I think the cake binges I keep having at work, however, certainly don't help weight loss.
I really want to eat an avocado now.
Thank you!!! :highfive:
DH wouldn't let me buy a scale....he knew I would obsess....but I started in a size 8 and now I am between a 4 and 6 so I want to say I have lost like 10 pounds or so since May. I really notice the big difference in my arms now. They look like an old person...skin and bones. I am naturally taller and thinner. I have that awkward look - long legs, no muscle tone anyways. I do worry that I might get to a place soon where too much weight loss will mess with my cycle. Your diet before sounds so good and healthy! Subway has all those avocado commercials now...always makes me want to try it!!!
Fingers crossed for your BFP soon too!!! If I were you, I would seriously be BD'ing every day leading up to O and a few days after it is confirmed just to make sure I caught that egg!!!!! I think your long cycle will get you your girl!!
