Hey - I am joining but as per previous months I dont know if I will ovulate lol!!! I will be the cheerleader anyway.............
We are planning on trying mid-late April (if my cycle does what it's meant to). I will be joining in!
hello!!!
I am coming over from March thanks to af today :( Still undecided on doing an attempt this month.
Ive gained 4lbs and been off le for 12 days now after being so strict and loosing 13lbs in 8 weeks. Ive stopped exercise but think I plan on stopping it anyway for my sway.
I also have gyne on the 10th April and they want a list of my medications and will be tesing for my short lp so can't take any supps this months...
I am so torn. What would you ladies do? Have a month off, get back on the le, stop supps and wait for May? Or be strict for 2 weeks and attempt minus the supps? xx
Dreamingofwin I've been off the diet for about 10days too and with no exercise. 😢 I think we're going to have April off and sway hard again til May. I really thought March would be our month but with several BFNs and AF due in a few days and PMS symptoms kicking in today (I turn into a bitch!) I am pretty sure we're out for March. I'd love to attempt in April and have a Christmas baby but I'm not confident enough in our sway after the past 10 or so days.

dreaming and mumof6 sorry to hear you are out.
dreaming, I guess it depends on how strict a sway you really want to do or you just want to get PG as quick as possible or whether you can manage to wait a month. Not sure how you/DH feel about this time of year for a birthday? I think if i was in your shoes i would probably go back on the diet, minus the supps and not try not prevent if that makes sense. But thats just me and I dont know your situation so you have to think about how strict you want to be, whether you really want to be doing the supps and whether you think it matters about the weight gain (which will probably come right off again when back on the diet).
I would personally prefer not to give birth on xmas/new year. However I dont think I will O this month anyway, or if I do it will be right at the end but who knows *CROSSING FINGERS I GET PROVERA ON THURSDAY* - as you are going to a doctor and trying to sort out your LP, the decision might be taken out of your hands anyway? Not sure how the doctor will sort out your LP as I dont know about that on that but I hope you manage to get it sorted soon.
I think that more or less says how I am feeling. I do not ideally want a baby over that 2 week period at xmas/new year.
We will have a month off and I will start le again hard...after my cheat day of course ;) x
Hi girls, I'm joining in! Due to my being vintage, can't really afford to miss a month TTC ;-).
I really don't mind a Xmas baby
Sorry that you are out for march dreamingofwin and mumofsix. Xx
Stephk hope you get Provera this week x
Kitkat, what CD are you? I'm CD9 x
Hello I hope you don't mind if I join you. I got a plan a while back but decided to put off my sway until now. I have been on the diet for about four weeks and started exercising an hour a day about six weeks ago. I really feel like April is my month. And I would love a December baby. I also think I read April was supposed to be the best month for conceiving girls. But I'm so nervous!
Good luck to all of us!
Hey ladies. We have a thread that is for ttc in april, may, june. It is very active! Both pink and blue swayers over there. Inviting ya'll in case you wanted to join another thread!
I will hop onto this one too. I am attempting I believe the last week in April. If my cycle isn't wonky again I should ovulate around the 26th-28th time frame. So it would be a January baby for me!
I have been on the diet since January 1st and have lost 20 lbs so far. I am doing cardio 6 days a week and have somewhat loosened on the diet so I could start ovulating again. I am still lower calories but upped my fats a bit and it helped. I only do meat twice a week and during my period. I have been having a fasting period at night of about 16 hours from after dinner snack to the next days lunch.
I'm joining in! AF came tonight so definitely out for March. I had always said I never wanted a Christmas/New Year's baby but now I feel like I shouldn't waste a month. I'm 35 and not getting younger so hoping and praying for a pink mistletoe baby. Funny how your perspective changes!
Hi ladies, I'm starting to ttc in April and will probably o around the 25-28. If we conceive right away, I'd be due in January, but probably not have the baby until February...my babies have always been late! I'm so excited!
Wow!! Exciting so many new names!! Abifasc, kidcatmommy,rosie85,willowgirl,fitblonde welcome to gearing up to your first attempts exciting stuff!!
Dreamingofwin and mumofsix keep checking in on us hope you have a few cheat days!!
Stephk good luck for Thursday xx
This will be my third attempt and I have been on diet for twelve weeks. I have lost 12 pounds and trying to hold tight as my ovulation is getting later and I don't have alot to spare! Oh and I'm a little vintage at 35.
La vie en rose on cycle day 7
Can't wait to chat and fixed we all get a wee Xmas pink parcel xxxx

I'm in. On cycle day 9 now! Gonna start egg spotting somewere saterday or sunday. Maybe later. Gonna watch the symptoms.
We'll see.
I feel sad to be missing a month! I am going to stick around as according to FF I ov at the end of April (as well as beginning) so still have an April ttc! It gives me 6 weeks to get back on track though (after today of course!)
Welcome to first attempters! Hopefully your stay will be short and sweet x
Good morning everyone!
I'm a bit confused this morning: I feel o pain on my right side and lower back, yesterday I was so tired it was like a proper fatigue that I couldn't fight off. So
I POAS and and this massive dark line on OPK stick. So I did another just to make sure and its much lighter... I'm only cd10 and tend to O on cd16 ...
We did BD yesterday as the start of the every 4 day frequency, but should we bd today as well or just leave it till Saturday (4th day)...
Thanks girls xx
Actually the second test is equal so def a OPK+...
I would stick to one. Every 4 day is fine
So after an argument with DH this morning over food and the LE diet and me having a tantrum and saying "let's just forget the whole thing, I'm over it, I'm done" (AF is defiantly on it's way 😉 and I'm also just down about no BFP this month - I wanted a 2013 baby😕) he tells me tonight he doesn't want to wait til May and wants to try again in April. I think he is just over the diet and wants to get back to weights training and eating red meat....but I worked out dates and IF it did happen to plan, I would be due on jan 2. My concern is that if it came early, I would "mess up" the traditional Xmas-New Years celebrations and family rounds etc....which would be a blessing for me (I hate family events) but the kids would be disappointed and I'd never hear the end of it from my family who would always resent the baby even more than what they already will being our seventh child!! 😕 Arrgghh... Don't know what to do. I'm also not to sure because of the way I've fallen off the wagon with diet and exercise.

Attachment 17862Right so now I'm even MORE confused and in absolutely shock!!!
So I have had my period but I just thought I would do a Pregnancy test as I have some symptoms and it looks like its +
But I find it hard to believe because I just had AF for 8 days??!! Surely I can't be pregnant and have a BFP from yesterday attempt?
Could the test be wrong?
Wow!! That is a super strong BFP!! Huge congratulations! :-DQuote:

Congrats! you should definitely take another test. some people do have AF whilst PG
Wow that looks a strong positive!!! I would be as confused as you! I've heard of pregnancy tests showing opsitive on OPK's but never the other way round! Do you have the clear blue digital where it tells you 'pregnant' 'not pregnant' id buy one of those. If in doubt book in a blood test at the doctors.
Mumofsix what a turn around. Only you can decide. Having a 7th child and it being another boy is a possibility, but you knew that going into this. It depends on how quickly you want this. I am also still torn but still not eating le either. I know we will not ttc this next cycle deep down as I want to have given it my best shot for a girl. Plus as I got af exactly on th March they'd class my due date as 25th dec. Id really rather aviod that x
Thanks girls- I'm not getting too excited though as the bleeding which I thought was AF could have been a very early mc...not sure what to think and what to do - just in shock...
mumofsix, it is a hard decision, just bear in mind that there's no 'perfect' sway and I don't think you would spoil anyone's holidays.the decision is yours though, hope you find the answer in you. Xx
Wow that is a bright positive! I would be optimistic that your are pregnant since the positive is so strong, even after the bleeding. I would probably take a few more tests and get to the dr ASAP for a blood test. Hope all is ok!
Thank you for the welcome! I don't mind if it takes a few months as I've only been on diet a month so could use more time, and it's not too bad. Although I will surely be sick of it eventually. I'm trying to keep it simple and not stress.
That is one bright and blaring positive! Keep testing but I think a congrats are in order!
La vie en rose that sounds like good news!! Congrats!! How super strange though.... get a blood test to make sure 100% but sounds like you are moving to a due date forum ;)
Dreamingofawin have you asked atomics advice? She always says no perfect sway I figure the longer I am on this diet the looser I will become what a way to kick off April (though tech. March) with a BFP xxx

How strange indeed ...will go to the doc /early pregnancy unit and will update you as soon as I know hopefully with a big happy face :-)
GL to everyone xx

That looks pretty positive to me! :) With DS1 I still had AF for the first month or 2, although I didn't get a pos pregnancy test…all I got was BFNs but I knew I was pregnant. Even had a negative blood test and ultrasound which said I wasn't but I was?!? :) So it defiantly is possible to still have AF and be pregnant. Fingers crossed for you.Quote:

The u/s this morning was inconclusive, waiting for blood test results but looks like its not meant to be...
:sad:
oh no :( so sorry to hear
Just heard that blood tests don't really conclude anything either: hCG is >100 and progesterone <40. Not sure what these levels mean.
Retest on Saturday to see if its increasing or decreasing.
Oh, how frustrating, laVieEnRose! Fingers crossing for good news for you.
I'm straddling two months, so thought I'd join in here. Got +opk yesterday... but not sure if we should ttc this month after all. I'm in the same boat as dreaming - been crap on the diet and exercise this month. On the other hand, I've been doing LE for a year now, and I know the stats for LE long term are no where as good as middle of the road. The stats for exercise are excellent, though, so I'm really thinking a few more weeks of that would be stellar. Gah! Must make up my mind today... I'm so undecided!
And, being a December baby myself, I'm totally for a Christmas baby! I think it would make that time of year that much more special. We have a tradition in my house of going to get our tree and decorating it on my birthday - which I totally love. :)
Then again, if I don't ttc today, I'll be having a baby new year. Decisions, decisions... help me, girls!
I think you have to wait. To see if it rise or not. Keep fingers crossed there is a healthy bean in there.
Lavie, I really hope it turns out okay. Hugs!
Girliedreamz, you should attempt...bc you've been on the diet so long, and bc I am expecting to O in the next few days and want someone to wait with. :P
I'll be thinking of you! I really hope your bean sticks around for the long haul.Quote:

giriedreamz -- did you go for it? I would much rather a Christmas baby to a new year baby (but, hey, I'll take what I can get)....but that's just me!
So excited!
Angie
Oh no so sorry to hear that. I really hope your levels increase.
Girliedreamz id attempt if was you. If I didn't have these blood tests so can't take any supps id not be missing a cycle. I am back on le today and sure I could get the 5lbs back off I've gained by my attempt but it'd be minus any supps so we won't risk it I don't think x
I hope you ladies don't mind if I join in, I won't be ttc in April. But I am rooting for you all :cheer:
La VieEn Rose, I hope that your levels increase.
