I'm tracking my ph now and it was 4.3-4.9 pre ovulation and went up to 6.1 on ovulation day! This was pre diet so hoping it will be lower this cycle ! It's quite sciencey which I like. Is anyone still eating lots of chocolate? I find it hard to cut down as feel like I have much less energy since cutting back on other things
Hi everyone! Just found this thread from UK ladies, is anyone still about?
We're in our 4th month of TTC and I'm 3 or 4 days past +OPK I sincerely hope I've done enough with my pink sway if I get a BFP! Does anyone else get completely nervous thinking maybe they could have done more?!
My diet is completely different to how I used to eat and drink and I have Chitosan and try lavender wash and painting my nails often so I hope that adds up to attracting a healthy :pinksperm:
Are any of you ladies TTC pink?!
Pink dust to us all who are dreaming of :XX:
I'm from Derbyshire in the UK. Had a missed miscarriage in Nov. Now we are in the third cycle ttc again for a pink bundle. I did and will get nervous about my sways. But I also know that kitchen sink sways don't always work so I'm not going to stress myself over it as I know that's not good
Oh I am sorry eleena2014, it is so sad isn't it, no matter how far along you are to miscarry, I had one last June and another in between my two lovely boys!
Keeping as relaxed as possible I know is a good thing about pink sways I just always get a bit nervous after and waiting!
Here's hoping we are blessed with very much wanted pink bundles!
I'm from Dorset! Been swaying since start of Feb 2015. Had my mirena IUD removed 4 weeks ago but not really sure where I am in my cycle. Good luck swaying ladies! X
Happy Mother's Day ladies! Hope you've had lovely days and those of us TTC lets hope we are blessed with our much desired pink/blue bundle of joy, who knows next Mother's Day she/he might have arrived!
I've tried to be good with my LE diet today but have had a cupcake, my little boy picked it for me and was so happy about me having it I couldn't not have it, bless him!
Hi dove_love! Are you swaying pink too? I've been off contraception for a long time but my periods have been bouncing about the last few months?! Trying to not get stressed about it though! Sure it'll settle down again! :fingers:
Hopefully you suss out your cycle soon!! And you get a nice OV each month when you expect it!!
Hi UK ladies. We're still waiting to TTC but not long now. I'm a pretty relaxed person but also quite controlling so I'm trying hard to have an easy attitude about my sway. We did a great sway last time but DTD lots of times in the fertile window as I was getting too skinny, so I think that's why we go another boy. Fortunately he's awesome fun so I don't mind. But I do want pink this time!
didnt know where to post this.If we dtd 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation (this was during the time i had ovulation pains) which attempt would you be more likely to get pregnant from? which batch of sperm would have got the the egg first? does anyone know?
Hi eleena2014, I'm not sure, you would think in theory the first batch of spermies would be there with hopefully pinks waiting strongly for the egg?? I'm really not sure though sorry, hopefully Atomic might see this question! Have you got Dream membership that you can ask her the question? Good luck for a pink spermy meeting a healthy egg!!!!
No I havent
Weeziewoozie I do hope you get your pink bundle this time!!
Being relaxed helps a pink sway!
When are you going to start TTC?
eleena2014 if I come across anything about your question I'll come back and post it to you!
Thanks
Been trying to Google it but can't find nothing
Thanks AlliBalli. I wanted to try next cycle, which would be about two weeks time, but I feel my sway isn't strong enough yet due to my diet last month, although Atomic and other genderdreaming veterans feel that I've done enough. I'm worried that I'd regret rushing if I get another failed sway
Completely understand weeziewoozies I've read quite a few relaxed succesful pink sways :happy: which is hopeful but if you're anything like me dreaming of a DD you think "I just couldn't be that lucky!" :o
I think Atomic is probably right she has knowledge of 100's of sways, go with your instincts! Keep us posted on your thoughts! :o
eleena2014 when do you find out if you get a BFP?! Have you had any clues with your question DTD 2 days and OV days?! I do hope so hope you have a healthy pink sperm waiting for you egg!
No clues.lol. I think the earliest I will test is next Friday. If I can wait even that long. I'm completely relaxed as to if I have conceieved or not.usually I'm symptom spotting and reading up symptoms so many days past ovulation. But this month, with having 2 bfn the past 2 months I'm not bothering
Ooh good luck eleena2014! Come on BFP a pink sticky bean!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
I've had BFN this month but my AF has bounced away I'm 6 days late! Very strange?! I just want it to come so I know my body is being all normal! :)
When did u test alliballi11?
Are you sure your not with af being 6 days late??
I tested on Monday and then on Thursday and both read not pregnant, I think to myself well it wasn't meant to be this month, but I need my AF to come in order to try next time! :pray::ttcgirl:
Any news alli?
Sending you good wishes Alli
A bit off topic, but wanted to add this in for us UK ladies, as a Mint Tea Alternative.
I got these from Amazon, and they smell almost like Murray Mints in a mug !
Twinnings - Intensely Buttermint
Hello just wanted to ask im already doing the diet thing,but not taking any supplements just cranberry capsules, foilic acid and at times calcium and magnesium tablets, as ,am i right in thinking my chances of a pink bundle are better if i only bd once on the day of a positive ovulation test ?also my clearblue digital says it will show two days of peak fertility is it best to not bd the second time i see it?wish had got the other one now,i have 4 gorgeous boys but would be over the moon with a pink bundle.,thanks ladies
Hello! New here. Very overwhelmed!
I felt like I might give a sway a try but it seems like a huge commitment.
Im wondering if those with personalised plans have had more success than those without? A bit plagued with unreliability I know but just a rough idea before I commit to all of this!
Thanks very much xx
Any uk ttc and sway ladies still visiting here?
Oh shoot just happened to click on this and I see there are questions - it is impossible for me to keep up on the support threads. There are just too many and they move too fast for me to answer qu's in these threads. PLEASE start a unique thread with your questions in the swaying forums because that will help me answer your questions. :)
Yes, we do get better results with our personalized plans (which is actually a bit surprising given that many people who get them, have health issues or fertility challenges and are not always able to sway that strictly.) Something about taking the pressure off of your mind, having to make all the big decisions and do a lot of research on your own, may help your sway to have a Custom Plan. :)Quote:

Hi UK ladies, I wonder if anyone can help? Which OLE is your DH taking? I can only find a really high dose for DH (in Holland and Barrett), far beyond the amount that Atomic recommends. Has anyone managed to find a more suitable option? Would really appreciate your suggestions.
Hi Glittermouse, have you tried Amazon I get dh's from there, I think they are Swansons.
Thanks Frilly Lady for replying here and in my other post! Will have a look x
5HT cycles all BFN must have been really, really tough. You are so brave. Are you trying natural swaying methods too?
Yes it was tough but I've come out the other side a much stronger person. I'm certainly giving swaying a go, it's taking its time but I am in my 40's now! Lots of luck GlitterMouse the ladies on her are all so lovely. X
Hi UK ladies, haven't managed to read the entire thread but will be swaying for pink, I have purchased the sway plan for peace of mind.
I wondered if anyone has found any ready meals/pasta sauces which keep us within the ratios? I was thinking maybe a healthy vegetable lasagne for a cheat meal? Or a ready made pasta sauce or soup? Would be handy to have some suggestions :-)

Hi Chocolate! Your name makes me hungry!! Yum!
I have been using 'Risotto Pronto' as a ready meal. It's dead easy, just add water and it makes quite a nice risotto (a posh pot noodle!). I just add girl friendly veg to it and DH likes it too. Really useful for when I'm 'hangry' and can't be bothered to make a meal! Would love to hear other ideas too. Think there's a thread somewhere with loads of meal ideas, some UK ladies on there too with some great ideas!
How are you finding the personalised plan? I'm very, very tempted to get one myself. want to avoid micromanaging everything and Atomic is truly an expert!
Hi Glittermouse, can you tell I love chocolate ;-) Sounds great! I'm doing a Pcos version though so trying to go for wholegrains etc. But that's hard with ready made meals etc. I need to dedicate a day and make some sauces and meals to freeze, it's the eating part that causes me the most worry and planning. I'm just waiting for my plan to be sent but I think.its worth it to know exactly what to do.

Hi UK ladies
Just a quick question...which cheap internet OPKs are you using? The good ladies in another thread I created have recommended Wondfo, but they seem very expensive to buy from Amazon in the UK as opposed to Amazon in the US. Can anyone here let me know which you are using? Thanks girls x
Hi GlitterMouse I use the one step 20mIU highly sensitive sticks from Amazon along with my fertility monitor. They seem to work very well for me, they even pick up my ovulation before my monitor!
