I'm swaying for a boy after 3 girls. Looking at starting to ttc around September.
Hi zebaniee!
Well after another scan I got told that I'm clear. Then they saw something and I had to wait for them to talk to the Dr. Then I had to go back in for the Dr to scan me. She said I had a fibroid? Anyone else had these? They said it's not a problem and can just be left.
Fab, ttc'ing again asap? Xx

Hi Everyone!
When are you planning on trying? Starting in September so my youngest will be at least two before another baby arrives.
Have you started to sway yet? I have started working on a LE diet. It's different from my usual diet so it's a process.
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? Personalized- I love having Atomic take the guess work out of it for me.
Which gender are you hoping for? A girl!
Any concerns you have currently? Nope!
Mrs I I'm waiting for the damn hormone to drop Fx it will all happen soon, can't believe I'm looking forward to af !
Hi makai good luck with your pink sway!
Grrr, so stupid! I am due to ovulate around the 3rd-5th of July (got my dates wrong in a previous post). I am nightshift on the 3rd and 4th and support shift (4-8pm) on the 5th. GRRRRRR!!!!. I am hoping the older two girls will stay at their Nans (Ex's mothers house) on the Friday night as their father is picking them up Saturday. Hopefully dh and I will have more of an opportunity for adult time on Friday night.
Just wanted to say hi to everyone new! So excited to be on this journey with you.
I've had some long talks with Atomic and am feeling great about our sway now. 1500 - 1800 calories a day, mostly vegan/vegetarian, but not worrying beyond that about whether the food I'm eating is "too healthy." Daily exercising as well (starting in, like, a week and a half!). Taking aspirin. DH is taking OLE and cycling. Planning on frequent release and timing babymaking sex for +OPK. I'm feeling really really calm and happy and relaxed, knowing that we're doing a fair amount for a strong pink sway and that I'm also sticking to my being able to nourish my body pre-pregnancy. I'm also down 3 pounds - 126 - so now I'm only 7 away from being at BMI of 18.4!
Just in case, I've been looking at boy names - thus far, I really love Heron Ariel E. and Linden Ariel E. I think it makes it easier to think of potentially snuggling my healthy little boy if I know he'll have a name that I love :). Still really really hoping our sway helps a little girl take hold, though - and her name, if she arrives, is Miranda Arwen E., to have a Shakespeare name but also be called Mae, a name I love which was my great-great-grandmother's name as well. So, I'll be thrilled if we conceive a boy, but there's definitely :fingers: around here.
I'm also hoping that this time I'll be able to remain Team Green, since we found out at ultrasound with both kids thus far, and this time around will be my last pregnancy for sure! It'd be fun to have at least one be a surprise at birth.
DH is still not really on board with a third, but there's been less fighting, which is a blessing. Only a week and a half until we go to our awesome counselor! Lots of hope for that working out well.
How is everyone else doing?
Babybeau, hope that things are coming along quickly and healthily for you! Sending good, get-ready-for-baby vibes to your body!
Thank you sending you lots of pink dust!
Kelissi- Cute names! I'm glad he's starting to come around. I hope the counselor will be able to help you guys work through your issues and come to a place where you're both happy and feel like you're being taken care of. It must be hard to be in a place where you feel like you're always the one making the sacrifices: Hopefully having an outside party will help him understand how you feel.
We're also going to be team green, which is going to make swaying harder, I think haha. I'm going to want to know right away if the sway worked :p But it's honestly something that DH and I both feel strongly about, and not something either of us are willing to forego. I'm going to have to tell my US tech to be careful though, as I've looked at so many US that I could probably tell if it was a pink or blue bump without them even telling me. I'll have to tell them to tell me to look away when they examine those bits.
Anyway, we're still set to TTC in August. I'm on a good schedule with my supplements & diet now. I feel good about this sway, and honestly if we get a pink bundle we'll be so so happy too. We both really just want a happy baby-- just have a blue preference for #1! Today is CD1 and I am SO EXCITED because it's the first day of my last cycle of WTT. I cannot wait to start TTC. DH has hinted that maybe he might be up for TTC in July, but we'll see. I'm not getting my hopes up, and I'm completely 100% okay with August. I just want him to be absolutely ready to try and if that means waiting until August I can do that.
I hope everyone else is doing well! Can't wait to start seeing some BFP's on here!
Hi Ladies, Well I'm waiting for AF to show up OR I'm pregnant. We had an attempt this month because I'm impatient and figured why not. First month of birth control so now I am waiting for AF to turn up which could be anyday now. Yesterday I had the most intense cramp, dull ache in my lower abdomen and I even had a bath to ease the pain. Pain has gone today so I'm not sure whats going on. I want to test but I also don't as I have a girls night out on Saturday and if I'm pregnant I won't be drinking which just wouldn't be easy to hide, especially as I'm sharing a hotel with another lady.
Diet is going pretty well, really annoyed that I haven't lost any weight even though I'm exercising 30mins a day and calorie counting...WTF is up with that! Grrr!!!
Ooh that sounds exciting Mars! I'm also waiting for AF to show but I'm on the pill so not expecting any surprises LOL.
DH has been making jokes about having a third and I think we are slowly moving in the right direction. I think we will start in August which gives me this month to get back on the diet and start doing exercise again.
I have to admit that some days I'm also not sure about having a third though. It isn't so much having three as having to go through some of these stages again LOL! The younger one keeps pouring things out of cups on the floor. He has to use sippy cups again even though he can drink from a normal glass but if any of us forget about our glasses for just a second he is often on top of the table and pouring them on the floor with a big big grin on his face. He is super adorable but so cheeky!!! But I just keep trying to remind myself that in a year's time they will all be in totally different stages.
Totally understand Junie. I keep thinking that too and wondering if I really want three. Then the youngest does something cute or I see a baby and I get clucky again. I keep thinking of school and sport activities and how busy I'll be with 3 and if that's the best thing for us. I think mostly it's just nerves.
lol I can relate there, every time I'm cleaning up the same mess the 14th time today i stop and say, "why the hell do I want a 4th?" Then they do something fabulous like bring me flowers from the yard and I remember.
We had an opps on our 5 year wedding anniversary and ended up with 1 attempt 3 days before O. DPO5 now, part of me is hoping for a positive, other parts hoping for a negative cause my sway plan for Aug was a lot better. lol
Kelissi, I have names picked as well. Only boy names though :)
Afm, I am hoping to ovulate soon. No idea what's going on with my OPK's though. Fade in pattern looked promising yesterday afternoon. Looking very different today though.
Argh!!! Dh's replacement tablets haven't turned up :( We have one left :(
OPK's are making me NUTS. I've never been concerned about ovulating now, but since we'll be planning on one attempt at +OPK, I'd really like it if I knew how to use them effectively! I'm CD 17 today (supposed to be peak day), temps of past five days are 96.97, 97.31 (took 2 hours late), 96.26, 96.95, 97.38, 97.47. Next period should be in about 15 days. I haven't gotten a single +OPK and have been testing the past five days between 1:30 and 2:30 pm. UGH. Maybe I should get a bunch of cheap ones and test multiple times a day on peak days? How do you ladies use OPK's?
ETA: I don't think sway is stopping my ovulation. I'm eating 1600 - 1800 cals, losing about .5-1 lb a week, and haven't started daily cardio yet, so I'm pretty sure it's just user error.
You might just ovulate a little later then you think. I usually ovulate around CD 18-21.
We are attempting every four days.
If we were to attempt on a Thursday would next attempt be the Monday or the Tuesday ?

I would say Monday. Good luck CherryBlossom.
Argh! I genuinely feel like crying :( OPK's are looking really good. Infact, I am pretty certain I will have a +OPK tomorrow. Dh's problems seem to be a little more serious then we first thought. He now gets a tingly pain in his leg when we're wanting to dtd as well as the other problem he is having. His replacement meds haven't arrived in the mail yet and I don't know that they will even help with his problem anyway. I would be frustrated and upset if it were me with the problem but, I feel so helpless because the problem isn't with me :( I don't know how many more months I can keep up with the vitamins let alone all the prep that needs to happen when ovulation is near. Pretty much knowing an attempt won't happen. I'm not even caring too much about the attempting. We rarely even cuddle up. I'm missing the time with my man :( Sorry for the little vent ladies. I guess I am feeling really down right now. It's so great, so many of us are getting bfp's, I can't even dtd :(
You're having a rough time boysway. TTC and swaying is hard enough without all the extra problems you've been dealing with. 😞 Has your DH booked in with a Dr yet?
No he hasn't. We see a Dr in a medical centre and dh is still catching up on work from when he had two days off last week. It needs to be made a priority though. The issues he is having could mean heart troubles down the track.
I think I will try and distance myself from these threads :( Issue from last month has become worse. I got a blaring +OPK this afternoon and it's going to go to waste :( Just feeling so down about it all. Goodness only knows when or even if we're ever able to make an attempt :(
Wishing you all the best of luck. I hope for all of you that I don't see you when/if I am ever able to get back in here.
I'm so sorry Boysway!!! I hope things work themselves out for you very soon!!! It is no fun not even having a chance to try :( :(
..and positive today at DPO 9, so much for waiting until Aug lol 3w3d..soo early
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm sending lots of pink vibes your way unwirklich :)
Congrats again unwirklich! (I also posted congrats in the 2ww thread) 😀👍 So super exciting. So when is your EDD? We must be pretty close Due Date buddies. 😊💜👍
Congratulations unwirklich
Congrats unwirklich!!
Congratulations unwirklich! ! So pleased for you!!!!
Congrats unwirkluch!!
Thank you guys :)
Momofsix, EDD is 3/17/2015..St. Patrick's day, kind of cool. I had a super short cycle this round. O on CD 11, positive HCG at DPO 9.
My EDD is 21st March so we are close! 😊
A St Patricks Day due date is pretty awesome! 👍
Here's to a H&H 9 months for us both!! 💜
So hubby swears he agreed to start TTC in October, when I know it was September! He's still nervous about the whole thing because he's getting his business off the ground, but my pay check and our foster son's childcare subsidy covers all our bills. He's a bit over paranoid about finances. 11 years in banking will do that haha.
DH seems to be getting closer and closer to finally being ready to go ahead and TTC for a third but it is SO much work getting him to come around. It was this way with both the other children as well and he was so happy with how it all turned out but each time trying to convince him is totally mind consuming and frustrating. All I want is another baby but I have to make sure not to mention it too much and in the right way or it puts him off. He definitely has to feel as though he has made the final decision and decided on his own what he wants.
Lulabell I bet by the time September hits you will be able to have convinced him to start TTC :)
DH and I both had off for this long weekend, and spent some time talking about TTC. We decided that instead of waiting for August we're gonna go ahead and start trying this month! I'm so excited- this will be our first baby and I've been looking forward to TTC for SO long. I've been on my supplements since May and working in the diet for about a month now, so I feel like I have a pretty strong sway. Like I've said a million times though, it's just a preference. We're good with either sex. I'm just so excited to start BD!
That is great jsophia! Trying for the first baby is such a fun exciting time! :)
Trying for your first is definitely fun and exciting and you don't have to worry about getting walked in on :). Enjoy, jsophia - sending blue dust your way!
I'm officially moving us over to the September part of this TTC thread. It's been really stressful with DH still being adamantly opposed to another child, and I haven't been putting a lot of effort into diet or exercise or any of the other things I wanted for our sway. We'll be at a better place at the end of this week, we hope - marathon counseling on Thursday and Friday! - and so I'm adjusting sway stuff over from planning an end-of-August attempt to an end-of-September attempt. If DH does come around with the help of the counselor (and I hope he does!) and I was still trying to get pregnant in August, it'd be like, "OK, and now it's time to make it happen," since I'd be right at the beginning of the cycle that I'd be wanting to get pregnant in. It'd be nice have a few months to adjust, to feel like we're both on board and whatever changes he needs to have in our life to reduce his stress are in place, and that we're both preparing ourselves and our hearts to welcome this new little one before s/he is concieved. My goal was a nice-weather babe, too, and that would mean that our baby would be due in June. So, TTC in September - feels like a good change, and I'm feeling really calm about it. I have so much adjusting to do in Google Calendar now ;).
