New thread for October!:babym:
Hello everyone!! DH still home so stealing minutes but best of luck to all and catch up soon xx
Good luck to everyone trying this month and I feel that I will be one of them as I think AF is on her way
Sonia,
That's really interesting that you heard that about XY and XX.
Pearl,
Anything you can do to keep yourself busy to pass the time?
Goodluck ladies, hope you all get a little blue bean this month :)
Fx for lots of sticky blue bfps this month!
Cinss how are you feeling?
No Need, AF arrived this morning a day early, I knew I was getting the tell tale signs yesterdayQuote:

So I have picked myself up and dusted off the self pity and dissapontment and decided that October is going to be the month (I was always a little apprehensive of Sept and the 2 day AF) This is the month that we had originally planned to start TTC after all.
So who is with me
Pearl327 Age30, 3rd month TTC#2, projected O date 15th Oct
ME!
Very nervous as this really may be our only month of TTC. The timing for next month plus 9 months is not good for a month or two, so if it doesn't happen this month it's either off for good or until January. We'll see what happens. Trying not to focus on the outcome too much and be fatalistic. Still have a couple days before O.

n710, I truly hope that this will be your month aswell then, as January just seems an age away doesnt it! But then if you think about it with xmas and halloween and the rest of it its probably the best time to have a break as the other distractions will keep your mind off of things. But my moneys on a ohw for you ;)
Well we put little Dave in his big cot now! And of the 4 nights he's been in there he has slept through completely for nights 2 & 3! Last night I must have had to feed him about 5 times so we will see what happens tonight. I think tat if my cycles do return though that I will skip month 1, I don't think I have the strength to get xmas ready for the gang whilst having early m/s??? But again we will see :bigsmile:
Thankyou NearlyDone:) Can I ask, did you sway HE with your little man??Quote:

What is everyone taking for supplements?
Good luck to everyone TTC this month!!
Welcome 4Giffins :)
I take
Fish oil, coconut oil, prenatal, vit D, folic acid, royal jelly and a teaspoon of wheatgrass powder each day. I rattle:bigsmile:
I am hoping to add in a bee pollen complex aswell when I decide to wean Dave off of the boob, when I started it before he started to get orange poo, I am wondering if it was affecting his milk at all and may have added to his reflux?? The bee complex is a personal choice as you have to be careful incase you develop a bee allergy, for me I really feel the benefits of bee pollen which is why if the time comes I will add it back in:)
What are you taking???
Sounds great ELP!
I am taking some of the same so thats reassuring! :) Im taking the royal jelly pee pollen (in honey mixture), Vit D, Vit E, FA, Fish Oil, Womens 1ADay Multi vit, Grape Seed Extract and will be adding a Wheatgrass supp as soon as it arrives! Was on L-arg this cycle also but dropped that after having considerably less EWCM! The RJBP does seem to have good results from what little info I was able to find so I figure its worth a try! Is the Coconut oil for EWCM? Im still debating on EPO but really dont want to try anything that has a history of messing with O..
Was your little Dave a successful sway?? Very exciting!!
yes he was 4G :)
I'm sure atomic posted a caution anout the larg messing with cm? in the helpful herbs for blue section maybe???
Oh that's great! Is there anything you plan to do different this time TTC?
Yes she did! That along with less EWCM is why I figured id better just give it to DH..
Stay away from l'arg!!!
Thanks TTC5! I definitely will! Any other supplement recommendations?
i'm starting my supplement next week this is what i have on my list so any other suggestion would be great vitafusion(i heard a few mum that are swaying blue that this) evening primrose oil folic acid i never took any vitamins with any of my 4 daughters
welcome over bec :) vitafusion is a new one to me so I have no advice there but I would def add a fish oil aswell as the epo, fish oil helps you build muscle faster and a wheatgrass supp of some sort chock full of nutrirnts. plus some extra vit D !! they would be my essentisls :)
4G and Bec - for my sway all I took vit D, fish oil and a prenatal.
Elp - I can't believe you're planning your next sway, Davy's younger then Charlie lol
Thats good to know 3P..for some reason I keep thinking I could be taking more! So I will let that go and really focus on my diet! What did or are you going to use when DTD for your attempt? Im planning on using Preseed..
Anyone, Does your temp rise then drop before O or just drop????
4G I am taking One A Day, Vit D., Folic Acid, Gelatin (I am a vegetarian), Krill oil
I also taking 4 wheatgrass tabs/day, but the bottle says 7 at each meal-just can't do so not really sure if it counts.
DH is taking One A Day, vit. D, gelatin, l'arg, fish oil (He only eats meat 1-2 times a week)
Robitussin and Preseed for TTC
n710 I will be trying the Robitussen also...sounds like your attempt is getting close, how exciting! Mine still seems ages away! Good luck to you! Can't wait to have some more successful sways to obsess over! Lol
4G have you had a read through of the posted sway forum?? I read through the girl sways aswell to see if theres any patterns which might come up:agree:
sonia how are you getting on??!! I'll write out my eating tips soon but Im still so limited for time atm and typing on my phone hence any shocking spelling lol
ELP I have read the blue sways many of times lol I will definitely check out the pink sways as well..thanks!
4G - my baby making days are over, I'm hanging out strictly for support, but when I conceived DS we didn't use anything. The fish oil had created so much ewcm that extra lubrication wasn't needed.
Vit D?Quote:

Theres a local lady who I speak to sometimes whos mum had her last of 17 at 45, that would give me 8 years for 8 more, but just how crazy does that sound, am I really gonna be in that position? I don't know, maybe!! So I may aswell sway boy for a while, just to really test out this swaying theory:bigsmile: Then half way through I may want to switch to team pink! I can be a real guinea pig:rofl:Quote:

So I have stepped up my swaying, I have to stay away from the white bread and sweets and Ive brought some nuts, apricots and figs, so when the sweet tooth hits I can grab the fruit! I just need to get DH to start taking a 1 a day over 50's and a Co q10 again and things will be pretty similar to how we got Davy, I wonder if it will work???!!! Its getting quite exciting really:)
Sonia, this is what I do and will do now for food:)
Breakfast
Weetabix or oatmeal/porridge sweetened with sultanas and with a tablespoon of peanut butter stirred through
Lunches
I will make an extra big dinner the night before or keep the kids leftovers and add them to some pre boiled potatoes from the fridge, fry it up with some grated cheese, deliciuos!! If we have had rice or pasta the night before then I will replace this with the potatoes as white rice and white pasta are on my personal food avoid list:agree:
If I don't have any of the above then a stash of tinned soups, the meat and veg ones are perfect aswell:)
And of course scrambled eggs or fried, cheap and instant!
Tip: Boil a kg bag of potatoes one morning and keep ready in the fridge, they last a few days and can be used to bulk up any quick boy meal, either fried with onion and ham, or added to bolognaise mix or eaten cold with cheese and pickle with some salad:agree:*
Tip: Buy some Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother attached and use as a delicious salad dressing with some salt and pepper, I sometimes make a quick cheese salad for a bedtime snack, chuck in a few peanuts, fantastic!
Tip: I also buy frozen ready cooked chicken breast, plain or flavored, either bbq or tikka, then in I can leave a couple to defrost in the fridge in a tub again for a quick grab and go boy ingredient :agree:
Dinner
Omellettes boiled potatoes and salad, cheap and theres always eggs in the fridge:agree:
Bolognaise but I swap the pasta for potatoes
Roast meat and veggies:)
Large pot of meat casserole, this can last a few days in the fridge for your lunches aswell:agree:
Curry and chips/ french fries
These are pretty much rotated in my house, big, easy, cheap and cheerful:bigsmile:
Now I DO choose to try and avoid some foods, this is only because I can binge on certain empty foods quite happily so it is better for me to just cut them out as much as possible.
The foods I try to avoid
White bread - This causes me YI around ov time and gives me terrible bad moods!! Plus I can happily eat 6 slices of buttered toast as a meal with nothing else, total stodgy empty calories
Sweets and chocolate - Again a family sized bar of chocolate is a regular lunch of mine, empty calories no nutrition
White pasta - Another one I can eat tons of with just a bit of tomato sauce chucked on top, its pretty much bread but in a different shape!
White rice - Not much nutrition but fills my belly, better off putting something better in there instaed, even some chips/french fries!
Thats pretty much what I will avoid:)
n710 are you post attempt!!! Can't wait to start obesessing with you :)
Pearl you must be next week!!
how long would you ladies suggest to stay on the vitamins and diet i would love to try in November but will hold off til February i must say i want to stay now but dont what to make any rushed decisions
How big of a no is sugar in swaying blue as I have 2 in my morning coffee and 1 in my breakfast
