Thought I'd start a TTC June thread... it's the first thread I've started, but I'm in month #4 of TTC, so I almost feel confident starting a convo now. :) Anyone else with me this month?
I'll join you! I am due to ovulate around June 2nd, it's our last attempt so fingers crossed! 😊
I will be ttc around the end of June too :)
Looks like my next fertile days will he the beginning of June! I think I'm going to add exercise again now that we're settled into our new home a bit more.
Good luck, Mumofisx! Fingers crossed for you!
Welcome, Buster79!
Arimethia, glad you're settled! I know we took about...oh, a year to really feel *in* our new house. Lol! I've had to get back on and fall off the exercise train a few times, but I'm finding that this go round, it's really helping with my stress levels. Thank goodness something is!
Never thought I would still be TTC in June but here I am!! Currently on CD7 so I will probably O in early June.
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ASE can June be our lucky months!!!!!!!!!
I agree, Steph! I know at month #4 for me I'm a newbie compared to some of you. But I see a lot of familiar faces here... Let's all get bfps this month! Pink dust all around!
I'll be ovulating around June 4-6, counting down the days!
I'm thinking of making an attempt in June but I might chicken out! Today is CD2 for me and I usually ovulate around CD17 so attempt would be in a couple weeks, eeek. Fingers crossed for everyone here!

OOOH bethwade it is CD1 today for me too!! I have long cycles (irregular but average around 33 days) so I'm due to ovulate around 14th June. Excited & apprehensive.

Sweet!! I have no clue when I'm ovulating...I have been taking diclofenac for over a year and last month was my first without taking it. I usually start closer to the end of the month/first of next so this cd1 is early! I think we are going to add some concieve plus this month...I have dryness issues from sjogrens (autoimmune) so I've been doing mucinex and on a liquid diet. Fingers crossed that June is our month!! ❤️Quote:

Good luck, bethwade! Wow, cycle 7... you are my hero. :)
We are hanging in there! But as discouraging as it is, we both want a daughter more than we want to get pregnant. So that's good ;) it just makes me have SO much respect for couples that try for years... Hope that next month is the lucky one!! ❤️Quote:

Then trying to not get so Martha. DH got mad when he found out I couldn't have a big o the week before and the night of attempt. He's also not happy about abstaining for 7 -10 days too. I'm getting a little burnt out not being able to eat breakfast, snack, and exercising so much. How is everyone else feeling?
3girl good luck for your upcoming attempt. Im feeling hungry, but its something you get used to. Its only 9am and I am looking forward to lunch! But even if I had eaten breakfast I would be looking forward to lunch lol. The good thing about this diet is eating white pasta and garlic bread guilt free :) there are good things about it. But now I have been doing the diet for 7 months with weekends off so its just ingrained I suppose. Hope you wont have to be on the diet for this long but you will get used to not having breakfasts/snacks over time.
bethwade, i have to admit I actually just want to be PG, I dont care anymore. I have done what I can through diet and exercise and thats it. We BD when we can trying for every 4 days but not putting ourselves under pressure if it happens to be every 3 or every 6 and hoping to have a positive OPK to get that one attempt in. CD12 today, started testing yesterday.
It's hard for me... TTC brings back so many difficult memories. DS1 took 5 years to conceive. Yes you read that right, 5 YEARS. DS2 was conceived first go, before we had time to even think clearly about getting into the TTC thing again. I'm finding that even though we haven't started until this month, because of our history I already feel stressed & sad & like its been a long journey, even though it hasn't. It's been a long time waiting to be ready for number 3, & a long time convincing my DH to try for 3. So I have mixed emotions, & am emotionally exhausted before even starting.

Primal - FX crossed for you that this is your month and your pink bean is conceived very quickly !
Wow, 5 years puts my 4 months into perspective. Here's hoping it's a quick journey to a bfp when you TTC this time!Quote:

I think that my crappy health is a good thing for my sway but I just can't imagine having anything but a boy. We are going to add a little CP bc I am convinced it won't happen at all if we don't!

Wow Primalmama I can't even imagine 5 years! I'm thinking with all the BFN's I'll be officially in this group in a few days. At least I can have a glass of wine then I guess!
It was crappy. We started trying straight after we got married in 2004... By 2006 we had no answers other than "secondary unexplained infertility". We started pursuing adoption. The Australian procedure for adoption is terrible, it takes many years. We were finally approved for adoption in 2008 & the next day I found out I was pregnant! Our DS1 was born in 2009.

Ah found you all! Im cd2 today, lots of tears yesterday as I was certain I was pg but hey ho it was only my first month ttc! Im due to ov around the 15th june and my hubby is away 13th-16th. So not sure what to do other than hope o is early or late this month.
Sorry to hear that lyagirl but welcome to the group and I hope this month is our lucky months! I would love a february baby (now Ive said that I may as well move to July lol). I would definitely attempt the day he leaves and then again when he gets back. You never know, O might not happen on 15th.
Yeah thats what I was thinking, I'll just start testing for o from cd10 just to make sure I don't miss it
Wow active group already!!! Sorry lyagirl it sucks doesn't it!! Welcome 3 girl and buster79
Primal mama five years wow that's so hard to go through FX you get your girl and a speedy conception
Bethwade wow wee well done! I take my hat off to you! Being on the diet so long too also hope the hard work pays off!!
I have been on diet since Jan and realized now im super use to it , its the ttc that stresses me out and it would even if I was not trying for a girl!
I just had a month off and hoping and praying my DH will feel /be able to make any sort of attempt after his ruptured appendix and surgery he feels loads better this week so that's good news!! I am on cycle day 8 , attempt #4 really hope its OUR lucky month!!!!

Glad your DH feels better now kitkat. Fingers crossed it's your month. 😀
Glad to hear your DH is feeling better kitkat, hope June is lucky for all of us :)
Glad dh is doing better, kitkat! Fingers crossed June is lucky for all of us!
If I don't get a BFP in June I don't know if I'm going to continue with LE. It is knocking me around big time. I am so lethargic & depressed. I will reevaluate at the end of the month.

Hey girls, I'm not the best at doing personal responses, but I am definitely reading them all! I'm starting to get nervous as the attempt gets closer. I know it will probably take a few tries. and I'm getting so worn down by the diet and exercise plan. DH helped himself yesterday and our abstain got cut a little short. But he's been thankfully taking his supps like a champ and even chugged soy milk yesterday.
Hey primal mumma sorry you are feeling that way, how long you been on the diet for?
Yeah we all really deserve BFP's this month! Though im going to try really really hard not to obsess this month xxxx

Only about 6 weeks Kitkat & it's a real struggle for me. I've had a headache for weeks, couldn't kill it with any painkillers etc... Today I ate a chicken thigh & it was gone within 10 minutes. I have never coped well without animal protein.

I'm sorry you're feeling bad Primalmamma. And five years for DS, that really put's things in perspective, like me feeling 4 months has been long! I do understand that with those years you automatically might feel stressed about ttc if it brings you back the memories. Swaying has (at least for me) taken the ttc to another intensity level, it's not just getting pg, it's everything else as well.
About your headache and not feeling well, maybe you need to adjust the diet a bit? Maybe it's too low of protein etc? I would ask Atomic for more advice. It's not supposed to be torture.
I hope you can get som good advice and find a level of LE that makes you feel ok.
It's official CD1 for me so June here I come! Sorry the diet sucks Primalmama. I've been cheating like crazy lately and not counting calories. Guess I need to step it up since we will be trying again in 2-3 weeks. I'm definitely dropping the Zyrtec once my period is over and I guess for this cycle I'll stuck with one attempt but not totally decided yet.
Primal I am so sorry the diet is making you feel this way. Your health must come first. I'm sure atomic will have some good advice for you. If you are doing the exercise maybe you could go to 60-70g protein a day and then add some chicken to those salad kebabs? I had some chicken last night and my protein for the day was under 70g.
I had a pos OPK yesterday so our attempt was last night! I guess I will O today or tomorrow! Just when I had chicken last night and will have sushi today lol
Primal I would suggest increasing your fat and protein a bit...you will feel a lot better. I have the same issues and after my loss I just didn't feel comfortable with the limits I was doing before. It was the perfect Le diet but I didn't feel well anymore which I wasn't okay with. So now I eat meat every other day and upped my fat intake too. I just don't over do anything and keep my calories around 1500.
I eat chicken nearly every day, is that not a good thing? I've cut out ref meat entirely for 6 months noe whereas I was having it 4 times a week before
I wrote this in the food thread too so my apologies to anyone who has already read it: So after careful consideration, discussions with Atomic & with my husband I've decided to go back to my normal paleo diet but eat lower calorie & less meat/protein overall. I found LE was affecting my health negatively in a myriad of ways. I was extremely lethargic, depressed, anxious (protein stimulates serotonin which is what a lot of anti-depressants do) & my IBS symptoms (which are aggravated by grains & legumes) were making every day a misery. I had gone from my usual exercising 6 & sometimes 7 days a week to barely being able to drag my sorry butt off the couch, I was GAINING weight & life was just not pleasant for anyone. On Saturday morning I had a full blown panic attack & decided enough was enough. So I have eaten paleo for 2 days... Today I've been up since 5am & have been on the go all day, including a 5k run. I feel the best I've felt in weeks. I won't be going back to LE & will attempt to sway with lower calories overall & exercise. And of course one attempt at +OPK. It is best for me & my family & I'm not so dead set on having a girl that i want my health or my family to suffer.
