Although starting the ttc thread has not brought me luck so far, I can't help but think it will. I had to skip July (and several other months this past year) and I'm so ready for august and my next cycle..... So here we go AGAIN...join me ;)

I've got my first attempt in August :-)
My attempt #2 will be in August! :) Thanks for starting the thread, H&D!!
Wishing everybody lots of luck!!
If we get pregnant in August, we'll have May babies!! :) May babies are the sweetest...I know because I was one!! LOL!! ;) (Totally kidding) But seriously, we'll miss the worst of the summer if we get pregnant now!!
Not me :-\ im in the Southern hemisphere. Not too hot in summer where Im from though and I shouldn't be too big yet.
Ahhh...you're very lucky! Here its pretty dang hot. One of my boys was born at the end of August...I remember sitting in the kiddie pool in the backyard, eating popsicles with my oldest while waiting for him to be born. I looked like a whale, but I didn't care. LOL.
Good luck ladies!!
I can verify that this summer has been cruel on my huge belly and me...I am always hot hot hot! I think May is beautiful month too to have a birthday! Mine and my DS2 share April, and it's nice too. Love spring.
Hi ladies hope you don't mind me joining you. This is a little info about me. I have 3 boys and I'm ttc girl I'm on cd6 so getting ready for 2nd try. I've been doing diet 90% supps mag,cal,etc. my main question is; with all my boys we dtd every other day from af to af is that fr? What shall I do this time? My dh is 45 so I don't think he will be willing to do fr and I'm not sure if absence will be good either please advise if you have any ideas !!! Ph currently 5-6 using replens or refresh. Ps I hope I'm in right place
I hope you mind me joining in

Abstinence is definitely not the way to go for a 45 yr old man. I would do FR for as much as he's capable. My DH is 40 and that's pretty much our plan. Too much will just result in no pregnancy and I know this from our experience last month.
The trick with trying for a girl is reducing fertility, but not reducing it so much that you don't get pregnant at all.
Atomic recommends Rephresh over Replens...Rephresh is used every 3 days after AF...it last longer and lowers the ph of everything it comes in contact with.
Hope this helps.
Welcome to the group.
Hi Everyone! Hope you don't mind me jumping in :) I've got 2 amazing boys and I'm swaying for a girl, my first attempt is coming up! I'm on CD 2, I suspect that I'll O on Aug. 10th...the very same day that I leave for a weekend away without my DH. Terrible timing! All I can do is DTD on the 9th or as soon as I get back on the evening of the 11th. If I wait till I'm home again, I'm worried I'll miss the egg. I was hoping for O+12 but I don't want to miss the month by being picky. What would you guys do in my shoes? I've been experimenting with Rephresh and I find it works well for me but makes it tough to monitor the CM because it causes a curdled milk CM. (tmi) YUCK! This swaying stuff is exciting but nerve-wracking! I've been researching for months! Good luck to you all, pink dust for everyone!
I can't believe August is almost here! We're not doing FR -- dh is over 40 and we just haven't had much luck with it. Our schedule right now looks like we won't have a chance for an attempt this month at all, but we'll see. I'm going to be more strict about the diet this month, and just keep my fingers crossed that we have the opportunity and that our timing is right.
FX for all of us!
I'd do exactly what you're planning to do! I would NOT do O+12. I bought it hook, line and sinker when I was on IG, but after reading attempt after attempt of failed sways or failure to get pregnant at all and hearing Atomic mention it is a TOTAL waste of time, I am totally against it myself. BDing a day or two before O is the best time to get pregnant anyway and as long as you're doing everything else, it should be a great sway.
Good luck and welcome!! :)
Shell,
We had the HARDEST (no pun intended...LOL!!) time ever with the FR, so we're just going to do what we can and hope that everything else works in our favor.
Good luck, my girl! Hope this month belongs to all of us! Xx
Me too, girlie!
Love your new ticker!! I REALLY want a sun tattoo, but I don't think my DH will ever agree. lol.
LOL, just changed it back to the baby. I'm not sure how the sun got there, but it was cute.
I have thought about a tattoo off and on for years, but DH has one and he regrets it. So every time I bring it up, he just gives me a look. LOL I think I'd like a little bird.
I REALLY wanted 3 intertwining suns with my boys names and birthdates around the circles of the suns. I settled for a mom's necklace with 3 disks with each of their names and birthdays around the circles. lol. I do love my necklace. And with my ADD, it's probably best that I can take it off. lol.
Maybe this is TMI, but I have had the worst AF on record. You know those giant overnight pads -- the ones that look like the ones they give you at the hospital after you have a baby? Night before last, I bled through those. Twice. Everything was soaked. It really freaked me out. It's much lighter today, but yesterday and the night before last were really, really awful. Maybe from supps?
Oh, I love that idea! When your baby girl is born, it will be easier to add to the necklace than to a tattoo. :)
I just made a mom's necklace but I haven't worn it yet. We have so many names that I figured I needed to learn how to stamp them myself, LOL.
Wow. That sucks. :( I'm so sorry. Maybe it is the supps. I know Atomic has said sometimes vitex will make AF worse. For me it made it much lighter though. You stopped the Aspirin, right?
I was only taking aspirin every three days, but I'm cutting that out slowly. Too scary.
OH that is so awesome! I was thinking about buying the stuff to make them myself. If I do, I might shoot you a message for help!
I wouldn't take any aspirin right now. I stop taking it when AF comes. I start it again once she's gone.
Feel free to msg away! It's fun but it takes some practice.
I can only imagine. lol. Thanks!! I'll let you know if I end up for the challenge. LOL. It def won't be until after the boys go back to school.
Hello, I'm new here and I will be having my attempt in August too.
If everything goes to plan my O should be 29-31 August.
At the moment trying to sort my diet out. Good luck girls.
Hi girls,
I am going for my first attempt this month and I am so excited and yet very nervous! I am not due to o again until the end of August! Wishing everyone lots of luck and pink dust!
Thanks for the comment, Beadin! It's the reassurance I needed :)
Welcome, ladies! Good luck this month!
Just had a bad weekend diet wise, always find it hard on the weekend. I think we have too many friends, too much socializing is not good on the LE diet. Im trying not to stress because my weight is quite low (BMI about 19) and I still have almost 3 weeks until my attempt as long as I don't put any on I should be fine, ill try to be really good in the last 2 weeks.
Welcome acheloisnomad, there is heaps of great info on this site. Atomics idea behind the LE diet is to lower the nutrients in your body before TTC to make it think times are tough so I would drop the prenatal. You only really need the folic acid and the iron if you are anemic. About the pH Atomic has a really good article on this Ill see if I can find it. The pH in your body can change heaps throughout your cycle so testing can be misleading, and if you douche with lime you can also cause a spike in your pH to counteract that. Instead of touching try Represh.
I hope this helps, I'll try and find the pH link
Here it is http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...-pickle-2.html
And this is a great article explaining why Atomic believes what she does
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...ypothesis.html
If you havent conceived in the last 3 months I would maybe do more attempts, were you trying to do 0+12? Im sure you will get your BFP soon, hopefully we both will this month. Sorry I don't know anything about soy.
Hi all!!!
I'm on cd9, this is my soy month and I'm really hoping it does the trick!
Started attempts yeturday, which I hope is not to early. We are going for daily attempts leading up to and through ovulation. But dh can only manage about 5 days in a row so fx ovulation happens soon.
Am thinking the soy might make me ovulate earlier so we started dtd on cd8.
Best of luck to all here!!

CD13 here and just got a +opk, so will be making our attempt tonight. This is our first attempt and we have abstained and are hoping for a one hit wonder!!! :ttc:
Now that attempt time is here I find myself re-reading everything, my mind has gone from fact wizard to fuzz, Im so nervous!
Hi all I'm new here we have 1 girl and 2 boys we would love another little girl as our last child I don't no much about swaying so any tips are greatfully appreciated , my ovulation day is this sunday so fingers crossed :)
Hi, another noob here! This will be my first attempt at swaying pink too. I'm taking soy cd2-6 and aspirin, folic acid and magnesium. I figured I'd get plenty of calcium from my diet as love dairy, altho trying to stick to low fat. We're going to try dtd every 3 days from af to pos opk and keep fingers crossed! Good luck everyone x
Lassie, crossing fingers for you!! XX
We'll be making our 2nd attempt next week. The same day we leave for the beach is the day I anticipate ovulating. LOL. We're going to have to be creative with our BDing, since we'll be in a 2 bedroom condo with my boys and Mother in Law. I'm sure the youngest will be begging to sleep in our bed. PLUS, my diet will suck...but at least it's only for a week.
Welcome to all the new ladies! :)
Hey ladies!
I'm here this month. Our 2nd month of ttc.
August was going to be our first attempt but we had moved it up to july. Maybe we are meant to have a may baby and that's why we weren't successful in July.
Good luck everyone!!

4 attempts down - maybe 2 more to go...
Got my opk today, so will dtd tomorrow hopefully aswell, which will then pretty much be DH's limit so hopefully its enough!
i spent 20mins after each bd flat on my back with hips raised to give the swimmers an extra helping hand!
Hi ladies! Blessings to you all!
Looking forward to AF so I can get going! So done with all of this and really ready to be pregnant. Been at this since November. Haven't been able to try every month because of the medical stuff, but technically this is month 10. Unbelievable. I really think it will be August or September for me, here's to hoping.... Looking forward to chatting with all of you and being in Pregnancy Groups no more TTC groups ;)
