I think I'm going to wait until September for my attempt!
I'm just scared It's not enough.
Anyone else freaking out!?
Yes! I am also trying in September. I am scared that I will stop ovulating by then. Also wondering what on earth is going on with my body as I am on CD 13 and still spotting. I am nervous I am going to have to drop everything to get pregnant.
I am trying to be relaxed about it all, but it is definitely in the back of my mind.
After 2 months of TTC, I just want to get pregnant. I told myself that I would start adding attempts, but I cant seem to make myself do that, bcz I am too scared if I do anything not by the book, I will end with opposite :(
I know it is not true. I am just hoping to get PG next couple of months, otherwise, unfortunately time is not on my side, and I must start adding attempts and all that...
FX for BFPs in September!!!!
Becca, I think no matter what you will be always scared that you haven't done enough! Why are you skipping this month?
This month was my first attempt. On cd23 now so waiting to test/ for AF. Not to hopeful though. Will attempt next month but going on holidays last two weeks of sept so plwill probably ease up on diet while away plus my parents are coming too so if my mother sees me skipping meat, breakfast etc she will just start questioning me!! So will skip October then hopefully attempt again in nov. I am on LE 7 weeks now, although had major cheats this weekend. Just needed some meat!! Back in the zone !
If its the diet your nervous of and feel that you would like another month to be more confident that's understandable. I do think though that there will never be a perfect month to attempt and that you may always feel a little unsure!
Good luck
I know. Its mostly dirt. I keep myself more time but never do better. I'm really going to try these next few weeks!
I just feel it will already be a boy! No matter what.
I so understand where you're coming from. I am almost scared to test in a week as I am so afraid my sway won't work. I have been on the diet for five months and would SO like to get my BFP and stop the diet, but on the other hand a small voice in my head keeps questioning "whether it'll be enough"...!
I think it is like having studied for a big exam or having to do something important at work: just before the culmination one is afraid the preparation won't suffice and the feeling of needing more time pops up...
Best of luck to you :)
I do not like how low your BMI is getting and I advise you to try this month.
and it may very well be, you could wait around forever and get a boy. There was a lady on IG who swayed for 2 years and got a boy. So please do not hurt your health by losing too much weight.Quote:

Literally, if you could see me naked, I can afford to lose at least ten pounds. All my weight is in jumbo thighs.Quote:

Also starting in September here. Trying to stay optimistic but DH keeps saying we'll have another boy anyway (!!!). I tell him the only reason I let him get away with saying that is because he makes cute kids and I need his sperm :) Jokes aside, I wish I was a bit more strict with my diet BUT I always hated dieting, I cut down a lot of protein, almost zero red meat, not a lot of veggies either, I am living on carbs, which is making my weight drop very slowly, but at least provides less nutrients I suppose. I love carbs and dairy! I would love to lose another 5 or 6 kg before my attempt, but I am running out of patience and can't wait to stop taking all these pills!
Wishing you luck with your sway, hope you get your pink little bean :)
Serious freaking out here. I feel like I need alcohol, for the first time in my life. On that note, seems like I read gin and tonic was best for pink, so I'll be trying that soon. Good luck to us all. Hope to see lots of September BFPs.

I agree its so scray, it don't think there is such a thing as a perfect sway, as hard as you can try, there are always going to be opposites and you just need to be ok with the fact it may be another boy. I totally understand, we had a total muck up this month and its our first month ttc, we are skipping next month as I go on holiday and I know I will be so naughty on my diet and just don't feel comfortable doing an attempt after cheating, it then only leaves us October to try and if we don't fall pregnant then I need to leave it until October 2014 for our next attempt. I know I should drop things as it will make it easier to get pregnant but I just cant seem to let go of whats in my head. your not alone xxx
I totally understand you, crazy!Quote:

I am doing nothing but diet and 1 attempt, feeling nervous about it, but I need that BFP too.
Hope you get PG, first month trying! fX
Same here I initially wanted to start in Oct/Nov, but that's because I was relying on the stupid Chinese Calendar (which has been correct both times for me). Then I started the LE diet about 8 wks ago and wanted to start September, but Atomic adviced me to start this month due to my weight loss. In 8 weeks I have lost 9 1/2 lbs I'm now down to a 18.8 BMI so I must attempt this month before I stop ovulating. I'm nervous, but all I can do is leave it in God's hands. I'm praying that this 1st month is my BFP. Good luck to all of us and don't be discouraged just think positive. :hug2:
I've now lost 30lbs on LE but I had it to loose and tbh could easily do with loosing another 30lbs :rofl: ultimately we are trying to rule our destiny but if boys are what's meant to be, nothing will change that, it doesn't harm to give mother nature a helping hand though ;)
Hi im also skipping this cycle and ttc september to, as ive not managed to do my 1 hour a day exercise due to being ill after ov and it being the school holidays, really want to conceive next cycle tho as my weight is on the low side cant afford to loose much more so i might have to do more attempts but that worries me i wanted to abstain +1! X x x
Hi becca, atomics post said your bmi was low can i ask how low cos she said she was worried im not sure what my bmi is but im 7.2 stone im very slim now but im really petite im only 5ft1 so im not under weight yet, but ive never been over weight im normaly 8 stone without diet and exercise so now im worried and confused as i said earlier i was going to skip this cycle but if im exercising and doing the diet im going to be underweight by sep!? X x x
I'm not underweight. I could easily spare 10 pounds.
From each butt cheek.
Lol wish i could i miss my bottom it has always been quite large for my size but now im at 7.2 ive no longer got a bottom im sure it will come back once i hopefully get my bfp! X x x
Lol! After loosing 5 kg, I am so satisfied with the size of my rear parts, less satisfied with front tho ;)Quote:

My family is worried now abt my boney look...cant continue like this for much longer..
Ough this stresses me. I am bigger than you guys for sure. Imma get a boy.
I thought it was more about quick weight loss swaying girl, not about being thin in general? Like for a woman who weighs 150 if she gets down to 140 quick that's swaying pink because she's at a lower weight for her not just in general. I don't know. Most women I know who have girls aren't thin AT ALL.
Good luck in the 2ww Becca! :)
Thank you!
With DS 1 I weighed maybe 125ish at conception. And DS2 like 140ish maybe.
Now I go between 118-122 so little lower.
Remember it is not just that one thing (weight loss) that sways, it is your overall condition. Many many ladies have bith boys and girls without changing anything. So come on, cheer up, dont loose hope!Quote:

Hi dont feel stressed, i think the le diet is more than just about weight loss all my friends with girls are bigger than me but always on some kind of diet like slimming world etc they never end up skinny just loose some weight then put it back on then loose it again! I wish i was bigger than i am as come sep i,ll be maintaining my weight as i wont have any left to loose! X x x
I was 98 lbs when I got pg with DS1, 125 lbs with DS2 and 135 lbs with DS3.. So I don't think it's about your overall weight. I followed my sway to a T - except the diet :worry: but I have NEVER been able to stick to a diet so I accepted that and did the sway anyway. This was our first attempt month and I'm nervous as heck! But for a much as we try, we aren't really in control! Try to relax and have fun trying!! Good luck!!! :)
Somewhere you had written your BMI right before I answered this thread and it was on the low side.Quote:

Lose the chub, your body freaks the F out and stops ovulating.

It is not a competition where "she who weighs the least, wins" and it has NOTHING to do with you being bigger or smaller than anyone else. Giving it to you straight here, ya gotta unplug your brain from that mentality because that sways blue WAY more than anything involving your body shape. (as per the essay I just posted)
Hear hear!! Just look at my sway.....:wink:Quote:

Likewise! Even on my diet I am still 10kg over....I lost about 8kg though, it's gotta make a difference...ideally I should wait and lose more but I don't want to wait any longer. I don't have a lot of discipline and patience for diets and cheat all the time, so I will DTD even though it is not my `'ideal' weight. But I am prepared to pay for it, oh BOY I am :)Quote:

It would raise my anxiety levels and being 40, I got no time to waste either.Quote:

Then she'd be like, eh screw it swyaing doesn't work anyway, and get pg after she had just lost weight - she never lost that much, no more than 10-20 lbs max, but invariably it was conception after a strict diet and weight loss even tho she was still on the heavy side every time. Net result 5 girls, the two she started with and then the 3 that she got losing weight, planning for some big sway that never happened. :(
