Wow theses things almost never happen!!!
Perfect CherryBlossom!
That's perfect!!
Good luck to the ladies still waiting for their bfp's :D
Afm, I think I am doing alright. I have had 'signs' that could have very easily led me to throw in the towel for ttc our last baby. However I have remained positive. More vitamins purchased (almost ran out of some), more OPK's ordered, FF membership renewed as it was due to expire this month and GD coaching renewed. An expensive week for me :( I have decided not to tell dh when ovulation is coming up. We rarely bd anyway. If I tell him ovulation is near, it is highly likely we won't have any chance for an attempt. Still waiting on dh's supps though. Feeling a little ticked off. They were ordered from the states almost 4 weeks ago now :( Dh is also trying to eat better now (hallelujah, about time). I ordered him some X50 green tea. I really hope he likes it. It is supposed to help with weight loss. Fingers crossed because I think his weight might have a good deal to do with his issues.
Woohoo, CherryBlossom!
Boysway, I feel you. We had our first day of counseling together today - it went well, but a lot is riding on tomorrow's session. Hoping to report back with good news. Feeling like you're doing this all alone is just awful. :(
I hope your counselling goes the way you hope Kelissi.
The troubles my dh is having is actually due to stress. He has a little trouble with downstairs when he feels too pressured.
What are the odds. Dh's supps finally arrived, the same day my OPK'S arrived :D I also ordered him two more bottles last night.
Sachet soups? I get that they are high in sodium but they would still be ok right ?
With my gall bladder I've worked out it's the carbs. Last night I had some bread and I was in pain pretty bad. So for the last week I've been eating soup lol

Good luck today Kelissi!
Boysway awesome that everything arrived!! :)
Cd 10 and I'm spotting pink

could be O spotting. I ovulated either CD 10-11 this cycle. Or could just be random spotting, seems cycles after a loss are always a bit wonky.
I'm really hoping that's NOT the case as hubby doesn't get home until Thursday

How did everything go Kelissi? How you hoped?
CherryBlossom for me that is normally an O sign but I hope in your case it is something else!
Is anyone swaying girl for a September attempt and NOT exercising? I'm not going to exercise - curious if i'm the only one...
I'm trying for 5 days a week but not stressing with 4. I'm not doing weight training like with both boys which is the most important part I think.
I'm swaying in august and not exercising. X
Just came back from an interesting acupuncture session. The fire alarm went off for about 5-10 mins. False alarm thankfully. Still annoying though.
We're hoping to TTC in Aug and I'm not exercising
Any more BFPs? I'm excited to see everyone start to get theirs!
Kelissi- how did counseling go?
I am on CD 1 as of today (early hours of the morning in Australia). I'm hoping my cycle might settle. Two cycles in a row of 33 days. LP of 14 days with ovulation being CD 19. I hope if I remember to take my vitamins all the time, especially the brewers yeast my cycle will remain the same. AF seems to come with little warning besides really sores bb's. *TMI* but thankful I was already wearing a pad as AF has gone straight into medium first day and I was in my last 30 mins of nightshift when AF started.
I'm hoping this is the cycle for us. If not, there is always next month :) In saying that, I may not be in this mindset if we don't get an attempt this cycle but trying to remain positive for now.
When are you planning on trying?- mid august approx 4 weeks away!! :nails:
Have you started to sway yet? yes started le diet loosely 8 weeks ago ,been more strict on it the past few weeks.lost about 5lb so far.dh is taking LR and cranberry,i am taking baby aspirin.
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own?-working on my own.would have loved to but unfortunately couldnt due to money issues
Which gender are you hoping for?- girl,already have 2 boys.
Any concerns you have currently? not doing the diet strict enough as i am not completely vegetarian on the diet,deciding whether to use represh on attempt or not and im so nervous about not getting the DG.
good luck eleena :D
thankyou
Goodluck eleena.

Good luck. Let the pink come :-)
Argh! Af sucks this time around. Really heavy, really crampy and really sore. I can't wait till I can have 9 months without AF! Whenever that will be.
Pretty sure I ovulated Wednesday or Thursday as I had EWCM. Thursday we BD. Anyways it's Saturday now and I now have creamy CM.
Now I'm wondering if I ovulated or not.
Should we BD tomorrow night ( Sunday) or wait until Monday ?

Was Thursday the last day you BD? I would skip Friday & DTD today just to be safe, but I follow SMEP timing and want to catch the egg! However, you're swaying pink so maybe it's best not to BD this late in the game. Creamy CM after EWCM is usually a tell-tale sign for me that I have ovulated. GL!
Creamy CM isn't fertile but I would probably wait till Monday just to be on the safe side.
Smep sorry?

Sperm meets egg plan :)
Guess I'll finally jump in here! I've had 3 attempts so far (Feb, May, June) that were all BFN and I'm currently sitting July out as we just spent 3 weeks on vacation in Europe and I was totally off of the LE diet, not exercising, and not taking all my supplements. So next attempt will be in August.
When are you planning on trying?- I'm CD 19 today with AF due on the 29th. So next ovulation should be August 12th as I tend to O on CD15.
Have you started to sway yet? We got back from Europe last weekend and I started back on LE diet on Monday. I'm skipping breakfast, not snacking, having just 2 meals a day. I'm not going full blown vegetarian and still eating a small serving of meat most days (chicken or pork). I'm doing baby aspirin, folic acid, peppermint tea, cinnamon, and fiber. DH is taking olive leaf. I want to do exercise, but I hate it and haven't started back up yet. Hoping to start on Monday.
Did you get a personalized plan or are you working on your own? No personalized plan. Doing it on my own.
Which gender are you hoping for? GIRL! I have 2 boys-- 5 and almost 11 years old.
Any concerns you have currently? That I haven't started exercise yet!
Welcome back essnce :) Good luck. If we're able to attempt ours will be around the 5th or 6th of August.
Hello ladies. We're getting closer to attempting now. DS3 has stopped BF so I'm hoping that my cycles will return this month. I've now been on LE for nearly 12 weeks plus a few weeks of going veggie before starting LE proper. I've lost about 14lb over that time. DH is taking OLE and I'm taking fibre, folate, an iodine supplement and regular coconut water for potassium. I'm currently taking black walnut and wormwood for a week as I'm really overdue a bowel cleanse, but after I've finished that our plan is to DTD every four days. That way I won't have to worry whether my cycles are back or not using OPKs and temps etc. Fingers crossed everyone!
Welcome back essnce! I bet your trip was a amazing! I've lived in Germany for quite a few years now but this September will actually be my first time traveling to France. There are so many places to see and since we live in Northern Germany where the weather can be quite gray and rainy we often head a bit farther away or to the Alps because we love the mtns. What was your favorite part of your trip? I actually can't wait to do a big road trip in the States once the kids are all a bit older and can appreciate it more! I also am having trouble doing the exercise as much as I should. I've been really active with the boys though so hopefully it isn't too bad.
Weezie your plan sounds awesome! I'm also planning on trying to go every 4 once I hit CD10 as I normally love to chart, take my temp, etc and feel that just going with the flow will hopefully help my sway.
Good luck everyone! I hope we all get our DGs!
So today I'm on my way to Italy(Florence and Milano) and France(St Tropez and Monaco). Can't wait for my most amazing next 3 weeks. I'm happy I followed atomic and girls advice to stop the le diet until September. .we have plenty of time to do the things a la carte from September until November.
Junie, I love Germany. Everything is at it's place and super clean. I guess in some sides people are a little to grumpy but I guess it's because everybody is so serious in this country at what they do.
Sua is awesome! I've been for 2 weeks in California in March and it's a dream life :)) From eveything I saw until now, California and Singapore are the best! So definetly worth going but take at least 2 weeks.
Are you or will be using any gels for your attempts?
Anyone going on Weds to the talk in London with Dr Potter?
I have Represh but then I've been reading that it hasn't been making a difference. I do have a lot of CM but I think I will just do cetrizin or whatever that antihistamine is called.How about you?
Junie-- I think my favorite part of the trip was climbing the Basilica Dome and our amazing tour of the Catacombs of Priscilla in Rome. And drinking a cappuccino freddo everyday in Greece!
I used Rephresh for my very first attempt (and maybe my 2nd?), didn't use it for my 3rd, and will not be using it for any future attempts. It doesn't seem to make that much of a difference, but it definitely kills off sperm and makes it harder to get pregnant!
And I didn't use it right before attempting either-- always 12-24 hours before.
I took Zyrtec/cetirizine before too (I normally take it for allergies), but will try to avoid it this time.
