We have 1,join us:.)
Where? It's usually here? Didn't see it
I hope this is my month. My long 7 day AF is over so... now I wait for attempts!
Hi ladies, can i join you?
Been on the diet now for 8 weeks, had my first attempt on sunday so now in the 2ww. Wasn't the best weekend for it as oh had damaged his hand and got admitted to hospital but managed to get out in time and ds2 was poorly with a sickness bug. Just tried to take it all in my stride so not to stress.
Good luck to you all for this month

My weight is still not dropping like I'd like it to. Worried about that aspect but can't do much about it. Just wish my body would stop being so stubborn.
Wishing4pink- glad timing worked out. That's always so stressful. My h ends up on overtime just when I need him home each month.
Suregena- what's your plan for this month.
Just an FYI: someone started a TTC july girl thread. I didn't see it because it was under just gender swaying discussion not ttc girl. Iykwim
Didn't want you to miss it too!
Well, I took the soy CD3-7, 100mg 150mg 150mg 200mg 200mg, my period ended yesterday. Today is CD9 so will probably start opk's soon. Taking cetirizine. Hubby FR since CD5 and licorice root. Probably bd through O but waiting for him to have more releases first I think.
My diet I am worried about.., my weight keeps going up by a lb, not down! I keep having this weird back and forth. I try to remind myself that hopefully since I'm already vegetarian as it is and so is my husband that will help and like I've wondered maybe I'm/we're already more girl friendly than boy and we were simply lucky with my son. I'm just worried about the lack of the process of my weight decreasing (which is what sways... right? What's more important? Diet or the process of weight coming off? This cycle, my weight's just being a drag and I'm probably only a few lbs from my conception weight with my son, grrr!)
I know I shouldn't but I'm only going to eat about 900cal today to create an overall balance of poor maternal condition even if my weight still sits like it is. Might do 800-900 cal days twice a week at least. Running out of time!
Ovulation could be more on time this month from the soy (or not) so I am trying the best I can but the scale is making me not feel confident about the most important sway factor!
Sorry about typos as I'm on my phone. My mac is at the Apple Store doctor! :(
i'm with you suregena. Our plans sound similar. I think I am going to stop dtd though the night before +opk. We are dtd every night and then on the day I get my +opk we will not. I always o the day after so that will give me a 1.5-2 day cutoff with a good 3 attempts in there still swimming around.
I am not doing a cutoff believing shettles or anything, just doing it to reduce overall sperm numbers. I feel with my dh the more sperm is there the more the boys will win.
i am doing a mini fast this week too. like 800 calories a day. i know its bad but i have only been on the diet for 2 week now and i just had the worst weekend, was not good at all.
so i feel this is my only way to ensure that i am at a loss when i o.
have lost about 6 lbs., so am hoping I will lost another 3 this week before o-ing next weekend by eating so little.
Yeah, I am also wondering about stopping at positive OPK. As the past proves, I never seem to have good timing with using my OPKs and end up running out before I even O! I hope to catch the surge this time...
Hello girls,
today is cycle day 1 for me. This is our second month trying. This cycle was strange. I always had spotting in the 2WW. But this time I had it from CD 22 til 24. Then it stopped completely for a few days, and then AF came. I made an appointment to get my progesterone checked. Hopefully this month will be better. Unfortunately during O I have an importmant presentation for my studies, great for my T-levels. :rolleyes: But I donīt want to skip a month, not getting any younger.
Good luck for all of us!:luck:
Good luck cheesika!
Suregena- do u always use same brand of opks? And what time? They say at 2pm and 7pm is ideal. Catch that surge woman!
Usually 2 - 4pm and 7 - 10pm. I'm trying a different cheapie brand + 20(!) digital clearblues... If I don't catch it this time, I will never want to buy them again!
Today I'm CD10 so have tested this afternoon at 4pm, so likely will test around 10pm tonight.
CD10 isn't too late to start testing, right?
I ate a lot of cake at work. I am probably going to have a boy at this rate! Work is so hectic right now that the sugar was taunting me. Just having salad for dinner as a result. :/ so mad at myself! I keep having good days then have a bad one. Grrr..........
That sounds perfect Suregena. Isn't it amazing how we cheat get so mad at ourselves yet do it again!
Seriously. I was having such a bad day at work and someone said, "There's cake here!" and inside I knew I needed to be strong but, nope. :( and I ate a lot of it... not just one piece, ugh. And late last week, I had like six
Cupcakes... SIX. WTF!
I think I binge far more on the diet then I do off! Sheesh........
I had a salad for dinner and took some fiber, and
I'm having a salad for lunch. At this point, I'm not going to make much of a difference. I feel so disappointed in myself. Really bad...
Surgena 6 cupcakes? I love it girl! I'm in Texas and I have consumed so many friggin' calories I can make boy babies for the rest of my life! Prime example...I woke up to my SIL cooking corned beef hash, eggs, grits, biscuits, and God knows what else. IDk how this baby making is going to go since we are staying with family. I was thinking we can do missionary tonight (CD 10) and tomorrow night (CD 11) since bd on CD 12 is not going to happen...we will be at the airport flying back to Florida. :shrug:Quote:

Man, I'm hungry right now!
I have been having a really hard time with the diet so I am debating if I should give in and eat a barbecue pork sandwich. It is 4th of July and so hard to stick to my diet! But, I know my guilt over it might be worse that eating my egg noodle pasta so I am going to stay strong and make it to 10 DPO! only 4 more days!!!!!!!!!!!
And the saga continues... For lunch/dinner we had grilled east Texas hot links, hot dogs, sausage, chicken, baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, everything French bread, and sour cream pound cakes!!! Texas is killing me with this diet.
That sounds soooooooo good! Don't feel bad at all....we are all struggling this week.Quote:

I keep feeling bad when I "indulge" a little too much even though it's well within dietary ranges. Last night I was going to have 1 little ice cream sandwich (80cal, 2g fat) but that turned into 3! Followed by a 100g bag of jelly beans. I still was only about 1400 cal for the day and 18g fat, but I felt immensely annoyed with myself!
I need to not have any "treats" in the house. I can never have just 1
Suregena - you are so tiny! I wouldn't feel bad about the things you are indulging in at all. And, I think we all have to remember that what we are doing now is still so much less than when we had our boys!
I am 8 DPO today....time is going so slow! FF has me at 7 DPO, but I am 100% that I O'd on CD12. I hate this wait! And...I just know there is no way possible I could get pg the first cycle with all the things I did. SO...I am really just ready to move on and start with cycle 2. I have been doing better on the diet and have my grocery list all made. Going shopping gets me motivated again! I tend to do really bad when food supply gets low!
Suregena- it's so hard, right! I'm all or nothing. I try to remind myself I can eat whatever later when I have a bfp. I can fo out or make anything I've wanted this whole time! I also think when we eat too much we still within limits. It's just when your ao strict more seems like a binge!
Don't know if I posted on this thread:last night 6dpo I had a little spotting. A tiny drop on tp and in toilet. Then some when I wiped later which was only when I wiped. Then nothing! I am praying that was IB I have to admit it got me totally excited I'm gonna be let down if im not preg. I've never had it before. Then again only once did I plan a pregnancy so I might not have noticed or made anything of symptoms!
Leaving work early to get my son as the flood sirens went off again in my town! Prince Charles is in our town today, simultaneously to view the flood damage... er, from a couple weeks ago. How exquisitly oddly timed...
I have the most maaaaaasive salad for dinner. I ate 5 cookies at work (work is doomsday for me, I'm totally having a second son! Geez! I didn't end up eating anything for lunch, except those) so skipped lunch entirely. I decided to skip out on my usual rice tonight and am having a big salad. It's 150g iceberg, 150g mushrooms, 150g green bell peppers, 150g cucumber, 2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream, and 1 tablespoon salsa... with two pieces of white Danish weight watchers bread with a little soy spread.
Is it bad it's mostly veggies?! Is it bad it looks like a lot when put together?
At the moment, my cal for the day is 970 (oy vey), 40g fat, 25g protein. Yet... I feel guilt! The cookies! The large volume of veggies! I just can't win! Ha. :/
LOL Suregena! I feel you pain, but have to laugh because I feel like I do this too! I had a binge on just six red twists last weekend, and felt SO much guilt because I had no idea how many calories I ate. But I did drop a pound a day later, so I guess all was ok! I am on AF right now and just desperately want to veg in front of TV with ice cream or really chips!! I never really eat chips, but for some reason really want them since I can't have salt! ERR! I'm 3-4 weeks in and considering trying this go round, but DH hasn't been doing FR, so what would be the point, plus I should wait a little longer on the diet! Maybe by the end of this I will be in children's clothing and save some money on my jeans ;-)Quote:

I am good. Trying to focus on our new house. We close next week so I have been very busy. We DTD twice but I don't know exactly if or when I Oed. Maybe around cd15-17 I think. I had a few signs, but my mind has not been on TTC lately. I will be very shocked if our two times got us a baby this month. Been trying to keep up with the thread as best I can though. Not been able to post much though. Wanted to be apart of the July thread though.
Lord bless all the spoken and unspoken prayers for BFPs this month. Make their dreams come true with beautiful pink bundles!!! AMEN!!!
I don't think that's bad at all. I was practically living on raw mushrooms during my sway. Remember, you have to eat ~something~ and a big plate of veggies is so much better than meat. It's gonna be low-cal, low-protein, low-sodium ... sounds great to me!!Quote:

I've noticed that while on the diet, I really struggle going up our steep steps in our house! Especially when carrying my toddler. I feel like I've got no strength anymore... a floppy noodle.
