To all you wonderful ladies TTC in September! :D
You can do it!!
Lots of luck to you Lassie! Hope you can finally get your BFP and pink bundle. Now that you've done your tests, perhaps you will be more relaxed knowing that everything is ok and you'll get pregnant soon.
AHH! I can't believe I am in this thread! Well our 1st attempt will be September too. I will probably ovulate around the 21-24! Ekk! Praying we all get our healthy baby girls this month!
I certainly am a lot more relaxed - its filled me with new found optimism and belief that this WILL happen :)Quote:

On another note, having your wisdom tooth removed does wonders for staying on the LE diet, all i have had the last 2 days is 2 small pots of yoghurt and a cup of jelly. At this rate i will lose about 4 kgs this week (seriously all i do is skip 2 meals and i lose a kilo - its ridiculous)
In the words of my dear friend TTC5:Quote:

:rofl:
I feel that he's pretty selfish sometimes even wanting to do it and seducing the crap out of me..
orgasms and sex always make me SICKER than I was before we do it. I hate it! :(
But the tables have turned on me.... I seduced the crap out of him from April-June LOL
Lassie, IF YOU MUST...because I know you are probably not going to like BDing because of your mouth pain...
Have him 'go' in a cup and insert it inside of you!!!! Hey, better than nothing!
:rofl:
HAHAH that cracked me up! Its pretty much what i did!!Quote:

Anyways, managed another attempt this morning, so thats 2 shots.....fx its enough.
:rofl: i was tempted, trust me i was !!!Quote:

Another positive opk, so hopefully we have caught the egg.
Will see what my temps do tomorrow, will be interested to see where FF pins ovulation
Way to go, Lassie! :agree: I'm sorry you're in pain, but you definitely took it like a champ! hee hee! :giggle: FX you get your BFP this month!!!
Our first attempt will be in September (currently waiting on AF), so I'm going to jump in and join this group, too! Hi, ladies!!! :wave:
I just made a Sept 2012 about 10 minutes before this one was made! Oh well, no one posted on that one yet so I closed it and joined over here! Hope this is it for everyone! This is our second real attempt (1st month was first PPO and it was not a normal O anyway). I decreased my Vitex by half as I Od on CD 35 last time, and may give up the Rephresh. Dh is 37, me 33 and he is taking licorice so don't want to decrease too much. Looking forward to some BFPs!

so after all that, i had a massive temp drop this morning, so i didn't ovulate after all! still, all good, means we have more attempts in :)
Yay lassie! So glad your attempting!
Hi ladies, I'm also a September swayer. I'm on CD1 now :) So excited!!! I have only been on the diet since the 2nd week of August but we are going away for 2 weekends later this month which I know will blow my diet quite a bit so we are abstaining with one attempt at +opk :)
wishing all the September swayers BFP's!!!!!

:/ Have not temped... not using OPKs, have gained loads of weight, etceteraetcetera... I am showing fertile signs now. Part of me is too scared to try because everything is heavily boy... I am probably back to the weight I was when I conceived my son. My husband didn't want me back on the diet... but I'm now hesitating to try this month. I want to get out of the 120s again... this whole month after the last cycle has been a fail. Around ovulation last cycle I got down to 114... but I think my ovulation happened later than my chart said (I went on holiday and stopped temping... I think it happened then, ugh!)
Now I'm 122 or thereabouts.... just, ugh. I don't know what to do... there's practically zero sway factors and all likely quite boy friendly.
Took soy this month, taking antihistimine, folic acid.... eating with an odd breakfast day when I cave in... using soy milk mostly...
Husband said he'd FR....
We're both already vegetarian.
But, eh.... I'm just struggling and I think time is ticking so I need to make a decision. I SO want to get pregnant. I wanted to be pregnant MONTHS ago... but I still hesitate because I still want a shot at a girl, even if I'd be happy with a boy. It's not worth stressing over.... I've put all this in my head. If I had never heard about it, we'd have just tried for a baby without all this fuss... so partly, I feel annoyed with myself that I ever typed into google "how to conceive a girl"... but it's all in my head now.
So conflicted right now.
Firstly *hugs*Quote:

This doesn't mean that we CANT have baby girl's.
We still have just as much of a chance to have a girl as anyone else...
Try and block the 'boy' friendliness out of your mind (easier said then done, i know) If it helps up, read up on some failed boy sways - ladies that did EVERYTHING that sways blue and STILL had pink.
If you want more children then i really think you need to stick to the 3 main sway aspects and just carry on TTC. (vege, no breakfast, no snacking)
If you don't want more children and only want a daughter (does that make sense?) then carry on with a super heavy sway, but pls see that your body is rebelling against it and it can't be good - maybe you should consider HT then?
I know its a tough one hun, believe me i do, but in the words of the great Atomic, you can't have your dream gender if you can't get pregnant at all.
Even with a limited sway, you are still doing MORE then many other do, who have GIRLS, so surely thats gotta swing the odds in your favour, right :)
My sway is very 'weak' from that perspective. Im not watching my total intake religiously and am sure i am over some days.
My body cannot take any more weightless so there is none of that.
But I'm vegetarian
I skip breakfast
And I really avoid snacking....
SO - Chin up, and be confidant that you still have a great shot at a girl :)
Good Luck!!!!
(ps, i'd still temp and opk just so that i can be aware of whats happening and when)
I totally agree with Lassie, and can't add a single thing. She said it perfectly. Sending you some BIG ***hugs*** and letting you know we're all here for you, suregena. Just do the best you can, that's all any one of us can do. Good luck, sweetie! :)
The weight gain bothers me... I've been bad for snacking, sort of... have eaten breakfast but have also skipped breakfast (i.e. yesterday and day before I had no breakfast... today I had two slices of toast.)
But, generally, I've been eating *whatever*... but I've gained weight.... fast and furious. It's like my body is just completely fried... like the diet really freaked it out and everything is all over the place... but I just feel fatter, flabbier than ever.
HT is no option for me... I don't feel that desperate. I'd have 3 kids, my husband ideally wants 2 for eco reasons, but would go to 3. Any others we will adopt (we plan to adopt at LEAST one child in the later future.)
But it's just because it is in my head as a possibility, I think it has increased the desire, if that makes sense? Like before I knew about "swaying", I would have just happily tried to get pregnant, and even if I were inside crossing my fingers for a girl, I would have been happy with a boy.
If I have a boy... I'd *still* feel happy, but I feel like I should make an effort, anyway.
I keep watching midwife/birth shows and shed tears just as much for the baby boys born as the baby girls, so obviously I just am ready for another *baby*.... but it's hard to shake the little "boy/girl" family of four vision in my mind. Ideal but not realistic... not for everyone, since it's such a roll of the dice.
I probably will still try... I'm going to use rephresh even (I have one tube left after the very first sway attempt that I didn't even get through because my O was so so delayed late last year) on top of the other stuff, to try to make up for my fatty vegetarian diet as of late. :/
I wish I could have been more 100% on the no snacking/breakfast... two holidays in one month and just feeling very blah, it's not gone so well. Just really have been very "whatever" this month, up until feeling like my fertile signs are showing... and now I'm hesitating - go figure.
But I want a baby. A BABY! So what's my problem?
I'll still go for it. My son needs a sibling. But, just not happy with myself. I wish I still had my husband's support for the diet... might have meant I wouldn't have been so bad in my eating and gained all of this weight. The gaining weight = boy thing is what bothers me... and I conceived my son while on holiday... and I've just gone on TWO this month. TWO!!! It's a complete repeat.
Thanks, girls.
For what it's worth Surgena, I was 189 when I conceived my boys. 195 with this little girl!
And my VERY heavy friend on FB just announced Girl#3
So....being heavier is not a bad thing for swaying in my opinion.. esp after coming off the LE diet, your weight gain might sway girl, who knows? But you won't know until you try!
Wish my luck ladies.. we are off this evening for a family weekend in Texas.
I will stay on the diet! I will be good! :bowdown:
surgena
welcome back hun, i have a tube of 'mexican' tofu paste in my fridge everytime i see it i think of you (and how you would abuse it as mexican food - i've been to mexico i know where you're coming from!) ....sweetie you have one boy you could naturally be a pigion pair girl we're all v jealous ;-0
don't stress go dtd and get preggie sweetie x
good luckQuote:

Just going for it. Shrug. Want a baby, but can't call this month much for swaying. At all. Diet is most important and I failed there, at least with breakfast and snacking. Have skipped breakfast this past week more often than not, though...
Today is 7th FR day for hubby... my cervix is high, soft, and open and had some pains.. and plenty of eggwhite stuff in there. I have been taking antihistamine since I took soy again this month, folic acid, and I went ahead and used my random tube of repHresh I had from the end of last year to try to counteract even further my lack of good dieting.
if I by some miracle ovulate at a normal time, it's likely all due to my eating normal since start of August. :/ But, what can you do?
I woke up this morning with the feeling to go ahead and try. I figure we'll DTD every 2 to 3 days (with him FR on the days we don't) to try to lag any increase of sperm sitting around in there to 1) hopefully catch the egg, and 2) keep it sort of girl friendly with lower sperm count.
I have NOT used OPKs and stuff keeps happening that prevents me from temping, so I'm going old school and reading my body's signs. I figure I'll just keep going for quite a while and hope I catch it. At the moment I'm strict-ish on the diet (today = no breakfast, no snacking) but it's too little, too late at this point.
I'll probably try to take my temps if I have solid nights of sleep! I keep getting woken up so don't bother.
Anyway.
Ow ow! My ovaries!
At least all these symptoms are happening *sooner* than they had done for several months now...
I guess my body just really hated low cal/low fat/low protein. And I don't really understand why, perhaps the vegetarian diet since I was a teenager is about as low as it likes. :/
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! Surgena, It's a good thing you listened to your body, and it looks like things will finally happen this month. I think you are doing the best thing, especially by not temping...just WAY too stressful!Quote:

Hello ladies,
I'm going to be a September swayer too. After much deliberation - I've only been on the diet for 2 weeks - I've decided to not give this month a miss. I lost 6lb in the first week so I'm hoping that the shock of the diet will help sway pink. We've been trying to conceive for a year now after a long cut-off and strict IG diet wasted so many months. I'm on cd8 now and likely to be on the diet for 3 weeks altogether before I ov. I was thinking of missing this month out to give myself 6 weeks on the diet but after losing so much weight so quickly, I don't want to risk losing loads more as I don't have lots to lose! Here's hoping we all get lovely pink BFPs!
