I'm posting over in the September group, but realizing that my ovulation won't actually be until October, so I'm bridging the gap :). Anyone else planning on trying for some pink or blue this fall?

Planning for November actually :-) want a Lion August girl :-)
Hi MyByC! A little Leona would be wonderful for sure. It's looking like that might be what ends up happening for us, too - although pink swaying around Thanksgiving is going to be miserable ;).
I am planning for October to ttc a boy. I started a thread for it!! Good luck to us!!
Hi ladies, I'm hoping to start my pink sway in August and TTC in September/October. I have a fair idea of what I'm going to do. I'm petrified of the LE diet as I'm terrible on diets. Will be great to get some support here.

Sarah, you must think that this will bring your baby girl.
Only this "dream" will ambition you to take it to final.
Jana, lucky lady of 3 pink joys. Good luck!
Kelissi, I'm happy I'm not living in the Usa as we havent these holidays :)))
But anyway, I gave up meet on 9th June. It's working fantastic.
Just that my Af has a 2 days delay this month...should I be worried?
I believe it's because a big change has happend to my body with not eating meet anymore..I'm not pregnant as I use protection until we TTC.
Ok, I meant *meat :owl:
Sarah, I just saw you are from Singapore..omg, I miss it sooo much. It's my fav. city. I'd move there any day:LotsofLove:
Hi MyByC, We are expats from NZ. Adore Singapore. It's a really great lifestyle, always hot, lots of beautiful places to travel to close by and there's lots to do with kiddos. Not sure if we wil ever want to leave!

Hi ladies, We attempted in July for a girl and BFN. We are likely going to take August off (huge international trip at the end of August/early September I'd like to not be pregnant for!), and our next attempt should be right around August 31st/September 1st. I've been on LE and daily 60 minute cardio since April 1st. The diet becomes easy/second nature after awhile. I don't really mind it anymore. I actually love the cardio as well! I was sad to get a BFN for our first attempt, but part of me is ok living out my "girl-mom" alter ego for another 6 weeks (or more) . Being a thin vegetarian who loves running is NOTHING LIKE ME, but it's fun to be someone else for awhile.
Look forward to getting to know everyone as we get closer to September. Hope everyone gets their DG!
Wow since April! Well done bluebonnet22. That gives me hope that perhaps the LE diet and exercise arnt quite do bad... Ill be starting in August for 6 weeks before our first attempt. Are you managing to skip breakfast?

Thats great Sarah. You took a rent or already bought an apartment?
I'm dreaming to move there but I need to get my hubby into this train :-))
We rent. To buy is ridiculously expensive like 1.4million plus for a 3 bed tiny apartment.

Hello! Hoping for pink in September here :)
Oh, thats really high. Indeed.
Hopefully this new place will bing you the desired gender :-)
Rebekah, you are welcome! Good luck to all of us :-)
Sarah - I'm not going to lie, the breakfast bit is probably the hardest part for me because I'm a huge breakfast eater! I always fast at least 12 hours, but 90% of the time I do a 14-16 hour fast. There's always a day every week or 2 in which I feel shaky from low blood sugar so I go ahead and listen to my body and eat something carby/sugary.Quote:

As the signature suggests, I am Mummy to 4 girls including one Angel in the sky. This will be our last chance at a blue bundle as there will be no more babies after this for us. I have been on the diet and supps since January. Quite over it all really but, you do what you need to. April (our first month trying) was a failure regarding timing. May, June and July weren't ever going to happen because we discovered dh had some issues. This means we weren't even able to make any attempt :( Dh went for a blood test this morning and we get the results on Friday. Hopefully the problem will be easily resolved to we can get on with ttc.
Good luck ladies.
Hi Boysway, wow you are doing great sticking to the diet and exercise (any major changes to lifestyle are hard) good on you. Hopefully the blood tests have good results and you can start TTC again! So what does the blue sway look like for you?

Good luck boysway!
Thanks for the support ladies :D
Well, we got dh's bloods back. Low testosterone was the only problem. After speaking to atomic I'm hoping the Dr will be happy for dh to start TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and Viagra. However, if dh starts TRT I will need to fall pregnant asap as the TRT reduces sperm count.
Sarah4girl, do you mean my diet?
Cristina. Thats great. Good luck. I have same plan.
I'm currently taking folic acid.
Do you take any supll?
Hi Ladies,
Can I join? I am going to try again after a two month break from boy swaying for almost 9 months with no success. I am planning to take it easier this time and try a healthier route. However, this time it there will be a big difference because I am not telling my DH. He took it hard this past time as he felt to pressued. This time I willingness take it day by day. Good luck ladies and hoping to find new wonderful ttc buddies. I think almost all of my ttc buddies from Jan to June are all pregnant 😁.
Hello yogi&booboo, I'm still around. There will be no chance for us this month. So hopefully September we will be in with some kind of chance.
Good Luck Boysway!
I hope this is it for us 😊
Thanks yogi&booboo. Good luck to you as well :D
Dh and I went back to the drs. Testosterone level was 7.0. Although the level is below 8 Dh needs to be 40 in order to qualify for the TRT :( So, Viagra it is.
I'm also looking at ways to decrease dh's estrogen levels and increase his testosterone. If he only he would lose weight and exercise as that would be his main problem.
Sending you love Boysway. It can be so hard to be married sometimes!
As for me, therapy went badly. DH is still insisting that he doesn't want to have another, but I'm realizing that this is what I want more than anything else in the world and I'm hoping that he comes to understand that, too. So, I started dieting yesterday in prep for a kitchen sink sway with exercise, diet, methylfolate, and aspirin to TTC in late October. On the plus side, I'm now ovulating with the new moon, so maybe things are lining up - I'm hoping it's a sign. :)
Cristina13, I will start my sway in September 1st and take baby aspirin and folic acid + peppermint tea from AF to O.
I think your hubby can take LR 3 months before.
Just ask Atomic. She knows better :-) She will guide you SUPER :-)
I'm wonderring what Crystal water is? Is it a name for USA consumers or just mineral water :)))
I already cut off meat from 9 June. Still keeping it until I get preg.
Kelissi, I'm sorry about your DH. I hope he will be on the same line with you soon.
Most of mens, if they have their boy, they dont care about womens feelings.
Probably tmi but, I bought dh's tablets today. Hopefully they work :D fingers crossed this means I'll actually be in with a chance at a bfp next month :) Who knows when I'll ovulate though. It looks like I ovulated on CD 15 this cycle which is not the norm for me. I usually ovulate around CD 18-21.
Fx for you boysway, really hope you get your bfp soon! Xx
Thanks, me too. I'm not feeling terribly hopeful though :(
Hey ladies just letting you know I will likely back off from this forum for a while. I may stalk a little bit but, who knows *shrugs*. I am having a very hard time with all things ttc and life in general and my depression is back. I will be seeing a psychologist as of this Wednesday. I won't be telling dh as he doesn't need to know. That will only make things worse for him as my moods and his problem are causing his depression to resurface and he gets it worse then I do. Thank you for all your support, I really value it xx :bighugs:
Good luck. Facing it head on is half the battle. You're truly a strong woman. We're all here for you xx
Hi ladies, I'm on day 4 of my sway! Wahoo. I'm on this weird high. I'm not sure if its my bodies response to the low blood sugar and perhaps upping the adrenaline. Or maybe it's the exercise. I'm usually a very chilled out person and often lethargic. So this feels strange for me! Did anyone else feel like this at the start if their sway? How is everyone else going?

Boysway, pls be positive. Anytime you need us just write!
Lots of hugs :X
Sarah4girl, for me nothing changed. I felt the same like before.
Is this day 5 from your diet? Or you are prepparing to try this month?
Im on day five today. I went for a 2 hour walk this morning with a group of friends. So ive been craving sugar all day. It hasnt been a great day in terms of the food ive eaten. But i will be good tomorrow :) I plan to do the diet/ exercise for 6 weeks before TTC. Im still waiting for my order of Olive leaf to come in the mail. Im taking fibre, Folic acid and will be taking climid.
Is there anyone else on this thread swaying at the moment?
Clomid? You are nt afrid of twins? When will you be taking it? 1 month before?
I'm such a blonde sometimes...
I mean, you want to have twins?
I am afraid of twins so I'm still thinking if taking Clomid or not....
Hmmm twins :) I'm not afraid but hubby would be. I've asked my GP if he can prescribe it for me, he said yes. (I have PCOS and v long cycles) Haven't got the script yet. It seems there are different recommendations of when to take it. Any thoughts?
