Swaying June/July/August 2015!

I'm not going to use rephresh, boyboygirl. I feel like I will have enough working in my favor (6 months on the diet, clomid, and Dh's supps) that I am not going to worry about it. Plus, the last 3 cycles, I've had hardly any. I chalk it up to the diet because I normally have a ton of ewcm and now there's almost nothing!! It's crazy!! :) I actually got some conception friendly lube because I'm concerned about what will happen with the clomid and I want to be prepared.

I'm not using it either - I DID get tons of ewcm despite the Clomid and diet. I was gonna take an antihistamine 6 hours before our attempt - if they even do anything since im using them for seasonal allergies anyways. Today is CD 4 for me. I Od on CD 18, so that puts me at July 1st for my attempt (assuming I get s positive OpK on cd 17... Who knows though).

I had 4 attempts with both of my boys. 😉

I think I'm finally caught up on y'all's conversations.lol! I'm trying in July... July 4th is suppose to be the day! I may post my plan and you ladies see what all I should change/add. Any info is welcome. I have been researching for a while now and just joined GD. Nto much time left to prepare but still worth a shot!:o

Hitme, I had my first attempt last night and took the antihistamine 6 hours before - I still had a lot of ewcm - but I usually always do - always have.... Not sure if your body would be used to it so it wouldn't work? Interesting to find out for those who do suffer from allergies :)

That's an awesome day for your attempt!! You'll have fireworks for it!!! Good luck & my sparkly pink dust to you boysboys!!

Boysboys I would be due to ovulate July 6th but considering skipping it as I don't feel I've done my best in the 2ww (again) it is soooooo hard to stay motivated in the 2ww!!

Immi fx for you! I do think the antihistamine won't do anything for me either.
Good luck boysboys

I know what you mean. I think we're all there but when TTC it can always take longer than we planned - idk how old you are or if there is any history but I too feel like this coming month is the one to skip for me, but I'm going for it. Any baby is better than no baby.

I agree with Hitme! You should go for it True!!

Agree with Hitme! I think all the work we have done over the preceding months also continues to work to some extent, so even if you have a shoddy 2ww (I just did) firstly I bet it's not as bad as you think, and secondly you have a good two weeks to really get back on track. I think for all of our mental health we need to ttc whenever we have the chance, I can feel my life slowly being consumed by ttc and this site (much as I love it and you ladies!!!) and for me I just don't think it is healthy (I have a bit of an obsessive, perfectionist personality).

I felt like skipping this month a week ago at cd1, but now I'm fully back on track and feeling good about my sway again (although I need to get more exercise in!)

I feel the same Foxcub!! I'm always on here or else always thinking about ttc!! I'm hoping this is it for me so I can go back to being normal.... Or as normal as I can be, HA!!

I've been away thinking.... DH has to wait for his testosterone shots and I was hoping he would have had 2 shots before July 13 (about when I would O). But instead he will either get 1st shot on or after that day. So we may not try until August. But then again we may still try in July, with my clomid, who knows.

For those hoping for a girl like moi :) - are you planning to orgasm or avoid at all cost?
What type of antihistamine are you using? I wasn't planning to use any but I do get a fair amount of ewcm generally (though I think maybe a bit less now bc of diet)

No orgasm for me.

I'm going to use Zyrtec. At least my first month. We got preggo first month with both boys so I'm doing a couple of things to make it more difficult for those little blue guys!haha (I feel badly saying that! I will gladly take another baby boy. Just trying for a little pink ��)

Purple, I would go for it!! :)

Boyboygirl, I'm planning on avoiding it. :/ I take loratidine for seasonal allergies.

I have a problem ladies. I'm not sure when I should say cd1 is. 3 days ago, I started spotting. The day after that, the flow increased enough that I used a tampon but then it stopped. Then it started back up the next day and was just enough that I used another tampon and then stopped again. Today is the first day I've had a medium flow all day. So, should I count today as cd1 because it was the first consistent day or do I count the first day that I used a tampon as cd1? I only care because I'm supposed to start Clomid on cd3 which is either today or up to 2 days from now. Thanks for your help!! :)

Hmmm... My sister suffers from infertility and her doctor always tells her the first day you see bright red bleeding... I've always counted the first day I see any type of bleeding though.

I'm thinking you should count day 1 as the second day when you had to use a tampon???

I agree, I would also say day 1 is the first time you used a tampon...

Thank you so much you guys!!! That's what I was thinking too. :)

My first attempt for a girl is tonight! Got a positive opk this morning. I feel quite good about my diet, and haven't exercised in weeks. And Hubby has been on ole for 7 weeks so hopefully that and our one attempt tonight is enough!
Feels extra exciting since I just decided to try this month a couple days ago ☺️

GL boyboygirl! :cheer:

Quick rant. I feel like the only pink swayer who is all over the map with my dedication. I'm cardio a week or 2 on, then off for the same, my diet has been *ok* but so many cheats too. I stopped tracking my cals on MFP when AF came. In some ways I feel it's less stressful but in other hand it was so good at keeping me motivated, whereas now I feel like I've partially given up. Certainly not giving it my all any more :(

Thread crashing! Hang in there sweetie! Swaying is hard! Don't beat yourself up. Just pick yourself up and start again. If tracking things makes you crazy, then use simple portion control and don't add any fat to things (like butter, oil, etc). Cheats are totally fine!

Trust me, we all have our moments! Just re-evaluate what you think you can realistically do and develop a new plan that you feel you can stick to better!

Hugs, sweetie [emoji8]!

I love you XX- I love your thread crashing - it saves me a lot of the time!
The diet im not so worried about as a whole. It's the wishy/washy cardio pattern I've been on that has me so unsure. Like do I just pick up and go jogging after being couch for almost 3 weeks?
I really do need s new plan.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you feel like exercising? If you're doing it because you feel you should but not because you want to, then I wouldn't. You'll keep doing much of the same, YK? I did the exercise because it is a habit for me. I'm totally a type A personality and for me to be calm and relaxed, I HAVE to exercise! If I don't, I don't even like myself, lol!!

Put PERFECTLY!!!

I LOVED how I felt after jogging! I was up to 9 k (a little over one hour for me) and I loved it! But I don't have a tread mill so my excuses started there - climate here is unpredictable and I can only run after DH gets back. So that was one hurdle to get over and that was ok - some days my kids would nap so I could YouTube some dance videos or whatever; but most days I found myself waiting for good weather. Then the Clomid gives me wicked o pains at random times (not just o time), so found myself sitting it out for long stretches, and then when I was free of pain my stinkin ankle started acting up.
I think I need to start over with cardio - walk, and add jogging as it feels right, but only be committed to walking. That's how I was when I started my sway - I never thought I'd jog - I could only go 30 seconds lol!!!

I walk for 80 to 90 min a day its around 8 to 10 km. I do brisk walking a really get a sweat up. Atomic said walking it good. If i had to jog every day i think i would of stopped by now because its really hard to do esp pushing a heavy toddler in a pram.

Ya I don't exactly win any races lol, but you must be hoofin it!
I have issues taking the stroller for an hour. THAT gets too painful, my shoulders can't handle it. But I'd like to do SOMETHING. I just hope it doesn't spike my T levels with starting over

I agree with XX. Just do what you can, Hitme. :) Walking is perfect! I am in the same boat as you. I am more dedicated some weeks and then others, I feel like are a total bust! I try to take a step back and look at the big picture. I skip breakfast every day (which I *never* have done before). I eat significantly less meat, especially less red meat. I still eat meat like 3-5 times a week but I try to keep it chicken only (I'm not a fan of seafood). I try focus on the things my mom and sisters do naturally (they are complete opposites of me and all have a bunch of girls!!!). They hardly eat any meat but when they do, it's usually chicken and they don't exercise. So, that way I can feel ok about my sway because even they don't consistently eat the same things or do the same amount of exercise. I think you still have a strong sway even if you're "cheating" on your diet and even if you're not exercising. You are still doing things differently than when you got your boys! :D That's what is most important! :hugs:

I'm ready to take on the week with a different attitude.
I'm going to try to walk - or do the videos and keep on the diet the way I have been. We're too social of a family to be able to avoid every awesome food lol
I've been on the diet for 13 weeks :) with skipping breaky since like January.
Barely any meat, nice low fat numbers most of the week. Maybe too low on protien most days too / which is a 180.
I conditioned myself for cardio which is a feat im so proud of - and if I can do it again that's great but if not
I'll just do my best.
I've made awesome changes, now God willing let's just get pregnant haha!
