I went to the gym yesterday and walked on the treadmill and swam for a bit, feeling less of a hippo today.
Hello cycle buddy:wave: I wondered what cd we were at! And a full moon starts tomorrow, thats great news:agree: No +opk's here either, I was hoping to skip this month but I am pretty sure I'm gonna have an attempt instead, its so hard to let eggs go isn't it! Also over the past few days most of my supps have run out and we have no cash to get any more, so its now or never:worry:Quote:

I actually opted not to skip the eggs, but I only eat them with breakfast. I really don't think one possibly wrong food is going to ruin everything else I'm doing.
Bummer on the sups. They are pretty cheap here individually but I still watch my quantities so I don't have to buy them all in one shot. That would be a killer.
GL and fx!
oops, I meant ov eggs not eating eggs, or for that matter forth coming chocolate eggs lol!!!! I find it hard to pass up the ov eggs with a non attempt is what I should have said:)
But I think we both got af the same day last cycle which would make me cd 15 also:agree:I have just started getting ewcm I think? so with a bit of luck we'll be catching that full moon!
:rofl:Ah yes, letting that egg go to waste is so hard, ridiculously hard lol
Are you eating eggs?
Just popping in to say Good Morning ladies =)
Morning:C:
Hi to all!
Chunksta I hope you get that BFP!!
ELP and 3PNB, FX you see those +OPK soon! Jen that is just nuts about the EWCM... did you change anything this cycle? I am guessing no, since it sounds like the last few cycles what you were doing was working well. Maybe your O is just delayed and you'll get some when it comes... Have you ever used the fertile CM? I'm currently using EPO but might try fertile CM.
How are you going lovely? Any opk + yet? XxQuote:

Must be the cycle for it lol seems a few of us are having these troubles?!
Morning:) Yes I am trying to eat eggs when I can but I have troubles passing them ifkwim:oops: so I can only have about 2 a week. Are you ladies noticing a change in your moods lately? I'm moody as anything, I hope a bfp shows up soon as I'm a horror to be around atm, hopefully its just a sign of the testosterone increasing:worry:
Hi guys, I need to vent a bit.....
My perfect plan was to BD every other day, Friday ( April 15), Sunday (Apr 17) and possibly Tuesday, just to make sure :p although Im pretty sure I Oed yesterday:pray:
Friday night went great, but yesterday night was just a nightmare, it was too much for my DH...His maximum is once a week and that s it :hair: He might as well be dead with sex drive like this. I ve started to give him 25mg of DHEA without his knowledge to increase testosterone left - overs in his body, but maybe I started too late:think:
But we managed somehow and Im in 2WW. Now he is not getting any for at least 2 weeks :mad:
Venting over!
ZB, how frustrating! But at least you got him the once at perfect timing so you are in with a shot:agree:
ZB fingers crossed!
Do you ladies let your guard down on special occasions? I indulged in choc biscuits and some birthday cake for dd's birthday and now feel like i have ruined my sway =( need some reassurance!
Yes I let my guard down sometimes too:) I think the key is not to binge on sugary or empty calorie things as this will send your blood sugar on a roller coaster swaying pink temporarily. But a piece of cake or the odd chcolate biscuit would be no harm especially on the TW approach.
Morning Ladies!
I haven't been on since my mother in law is in town and we have been busy. Waiting on AF to arrive to start ttc. I have had to relax a bit on the diet- still eating foods that are acceptable in the French Diet, but not so much IG. Good nutrients though. I had a bit of brownie (smallest bite ever) and surprisingly it didn't send me on a big binge craving!
ITA! I eat a piece of chocolate few days ago and I wasn't feeling guilty for a second! I like this 'no fault swaying' so much better since I'm not stressing over every bite I take.Quote:

Do you think its ok to have a few drinks??
3PNB good luck on getting more cm!!
Thanks for the reassurance ladies!!!
Have fun camping Chunksta!!!! not sure about the drinking I guess it is all personal preferance? =)
xx
I've been noticing this aswell, usualy if I have a biscuit I have the packet or a slice of cake is half a cake:oops: but I am just happy lately with a taste of something and then don't actually want anymore to the point ofturning my head away, long may it last :bigsmile:Quote:

Recently I've paid a little more attention to my body around ov and noticed that by the evening of +opk my cm is already creamy and cervix is already back to hard! So for me, the day of +opk is girl territory. When trying to conceive in the past I just used to go with the bd on day 14 of cycle, which I now know that with a 31 day cycle was a 4/5 day cut off. Out of my 1st 5, 3 were boys and the 2 girls were the ov after m/c and the 1st month of bcp, so I wonder did this strongly influence the girls for me???Quote:

Sorry if this is long or makes no sense lol:oops:
Hey girl just want to wish BFP for everyone who TTC now.
I already put on 2 lbs so now I have to loose it because I only ttc in Oct. and I don't want to put on more then 5lbs top!
Maybe it muscle?:think: (wold be great) I workout 5-6 days/ week now.
Hi everyone, had a lazy weekend and just back in the swing. I wouldn't freak about cheating on the diet on special occasions....you know, if you cheat daily then it is a part of your diet, but every now and then won't hurt. FX for everyone in the 2ww!!!! By the way, I myself noticed that I had less ewcm since swaying, even with the EPO and all the supps, so who knows. I just used Preseed, so hopefully that made up for it!
Hi ladies!
ELP thanks for the reply on that, I had forgotten all about it, LOL! What I think is interesting though is that I wonder the same re: my 2 girls and my BCP's. One I got pg while taking BCP's, and the other I got pg the 1st cycle off of them. So I am happy that this time TTC I will have ZERO potential horomonal effect from them since I haven't taken any in years!
So fun to have some gals in the 2WW and some gearing up to attempt! Jen, glad to hear you aren't stressing that elusive +OPK. It will come and hopefully it will be super strong!
ZB, FX that DTD Friday night did the trick for you!
With re: to cheats I definitely have some. I drink probably 2x a week, I eat a sweet probably 2x a week as well. Since I'm still so many months out I'm not concerned; I do think when I'm 60 days out I will likely tighten up my diet.
I kind of wish DH and I had TTC last fall. I cared less then. Lately I've had more friends have boys and all it does is make me want one all the more. DH doesn't want to find out gender this time but heck, if I could have a psychic ultrasound that would tell me what this yet-to-be conceived baby will be, I'd pay $1000 for it, LOL! And even if my imaginary psychic ultrasound showed it was girl I'd still go through with TTC b/c I want 3 kids, but at least then I'd know not to get my hopes up! I know I'm going to end up totally obsessed with the nub since I will honor his request to be surprised. I'm going to have to try really, really hard not to go get a private u/s and just not tell him!
Zivic, I forgot to comment on your DH rant! I know how annoying that is.....my DH, bless him, is 38, which is by no means old, but I think he is one of those guys whose sex drive is naturally pretty low. I mean, when we first were dating and had sex, it was higher, but that is the fun stage, right! But, he NEVER initiates it, and when he does, it's because I've been making snide comments about it and he's trying to make up for his lack of interest. I fear sometimes it's because I've gained weight on this boy diet, and as you all know, he is a ballet dancer, so his job consists of manhandling skinny ass ballerinas all day. :worry: So, of course, I'm a hefer compared to them normally, at my normal size 4-6!!! He assures me that it's not that and I'm beautiful, blah blah, and that he just has a way lower sex drive than me. Oh well. There's my low sex drive rant. And I know how it is to have to ttc on command with opks to make a baby with this kind of guy!!!! But BIG FX that you caught your egg with perfect timing on Friday!!!!! Oh, and FWIW, I had my DH take 75mg of DHEA and it did nothing for his sex drive...although he said he had more energy, etc.
Lola, did the DHEA make your boobies hurt & feel bigger? Been trying to figure out why mine are feeling this way
I TOTALLY KWYM! I am actually having the weirdest thoughts now....I DO NOT want to know what this baby is. I am afraid of being upset, so I am trying to avoid that. I wish my DH were down with not finding out, because I would love to delay the possibility of having GD. It is just so hard when you are having your last baby and its your last chance for a boy. And I just don't know how I'll react to hearing it's another girl....I may be fine, or I may slump into a HUGE funk and react very strangely. But DH and the girls want to find out, so we probably will, and I will just have to deal with my feelings silently, and on this site, as I surely don't want to A) make my daughters think there is anything bad about having girls, and B) make DH have a bad experience with the pregnancy and birth of his only bio child. UGH. But, here's to hoping it's a boy and I won't have to worry about that! I wish an imaginary psychic could have told me the same thing, Begonia, that way I could feel so much more prepared.Quote:

But on the upside, if it is a boy, how great will you feel!?!?! You'll love the rest of your pregnancy! Which is why right now I think I am going to need to know ASAP, because if it is a boy I want to enjoy knowing that.... but I wouldn't be surprised if once I'm actually pregnant I end up more in your camp, where I'd rather not know.
All that said I really, really think you've got a boy there though :-) FX FX FX!!!!

Aqua did you ever think about not finding out with this bean? I mean I know technically you still haven't "found out" since it is just nub (but even your doc guessed boy!!!!!) ... but did you know all along you'd find out?
I am surprised at the number of DH's who aren't more, ummm, active! ;-) That seems crazy to me since mine thinks we should be doing it every day. I wish I was up for it that often but I barely get a shower every day, so BD isn't always my top priority!
My DH wants to find out, me too but i am too scared of my possible reaction in case of opposite gender. For now i feel like i am cool either way but in deep down i know i am not :(
This is exactly why I want a suprise this time too, as it is our last shot!Quote:

I do think I'm feeling more excited and trust I will love holding my LO, but it's hard.
DH says he wants to find out with the next one, no question about it. He's fine with finding out and not telling me... but I don't know that I could handle that, heh. I sort of wish he would be happy not knowing. But then I don't know if I'd have been any better going through pregnancy with no idea... maybe instead of having a hard period and then starting to feel better, I'd just have fear and apprehension. I just don't know. We will probably find out again when (Lord willing) we conceive again. It's a hard choice when you know GD may be a factor.
Thanks Chunksta, AF is finally here! :bigsmile:Quote:
