Anybody else trying for a pink bundle this spring?
Yes I will be, recently had a miscarriage at 12 weeks & will
be trying again in March next year xx All the best with your sway x
Me too. :wave: Going to start trying May 2015. Waiting anxiously. :flowerz:
I'm sorry to hear about your loss Two of a Kind... Wish you both the best of luck and hope to keep chatting and support each other. :bighug:
Thank you Valerie ( my first official GD friend) x I am in full get healthy, organise my life mode ( all I preparation for my girl sway next year)!! Looking forward to supporting each other :) I kinda feel like I am starting all over again as many of the beautiful mummas i swayed with last time are pregnant & just finding out genders or are team green :) x
Now that my sway is coming together, I'm feeling more and more relaxed that I'm doing everything that I can to get my DD. Definitely nervous though. Ans determined to stay strict and strong. :)
Yeah I am actually more determined to sway than I was before. I feel really determined to give it my all & if a little blue bundles is the result then I know I have it my all x
Good in you!! Lots of exciting journeys to come :)
This is my last one, so I'm giving it my all! I'm going to keep a calender with days to take supps and such. It seems so detail oriented, but it makes me relax more not having to think about it, if you know what I mean? I'm dieting now, just to start losing weight and am eating less meat overall. Have you started yet?
Hey yep, I have lots of weight to loose my goal is 20 kilos ( put on
About 8 kilos while pregnant & another 1-2kilos whist I was in hospital had a really complicated miscarriage, surgery lots of transfusions & a nasty infection which I was hospitalised again for) Very different to my previous three easy homebirths x
My plan is to lose 20 kilos on a pretty strict LE diet which I started last Monday ( already lost 3.5 kilos ) :) ( probably a lot if fluid ;). I had the implanon birth control rid inserted last week, I had a miscarriahge at 6 weeks the cycle before my last miscarriage ( so don't want to risk a pregnancy before I am 100% ready).
I actually saw you mention clomid, i am seriously considering adding it to be sway ( I know the risks ets...), just want to get pregnant ASAP once I have lost the weight. Are you still thinking about it ?
Xx
Excuse all my spelling errors, feeding my little one to sleep ' laying down lol x
Me Me!!! Trying March/April 2015! Really excited.
I'm going to join you ladies :) We tried this cycle on a whim, but today is CD1 so we will be waiting until May 2015. I can't do another winter baby, not with big kids who bring every germ home to a newborn :/
Have any of you purchased a personalized sway?
Planning to TTC in June/ July 2015!
Hello all! I've had a lot of guests recently and my participation here slacked off. Wonderful to see more people joining our little spring ttc clan. :) I am doing a loose diet still, losing weight. Starting exercise and decided yes to the clomid. Pulling out all the stops. How are you all doing?
Hi Everyone! We're going to be trying in April/May. I'm getting a tubal reversal in either January or February depending on when they can get me in after we get the money (hopefully sometime the week of Jan 5th). I have been waiting for 6 years to get my tubes untied. After our 4th son was born, we couldn't afford to have anymore. No other forms of birth control had worked for us (I had been pregnant 7 times with 4 resulting in a live birth) in only 6 years! So, we got my tubes tied. Of course, a few years later, our lives had completely changed (better jobs/more income) and we were in a place where we wanted more but couldn't have more. So, I started researching and found a place in SC that does them but you have to be under a certain BMI. Well, because of my Hypothyroidism I have a really difficult time losing weight and am over their BMI. So I started trying to lose weight and long story short, I found a different place locally that does the reversal regardless of BMI! So, now we're just waiting for the final chunk of money to pay for the reversal and then I can call and schedule the surgery. It seems so surreal!! I've waited so long! I am pretty sure that I'm annoying the living daylights out my poor DH with all of my talk about babies. LOL! After the surgery, we have to wait 8 weeks before we're even allowed to start ttc. It's kind of a bummer, but I figure a few more months won't kill me. I've been trying to do the diet slowly in an effort to get used to it and not be overly obsessed with it. We're starting really hard core on Jan 1st. I'm getting so excited! I am really happy to have ladies like you around who can totally understand what I'm going through in ttc PINK! I am rooting for all of you! :)
Me! Can I join the bunch? I just purchased my sway and I can't wait to read it. I'm starting the LE Diet Jan 10th and we start ttc on April 12th, the day after DS2's 1st Birthday.
I look forward to "talking" to everyone in the months to come. FX for XX
Hi pinkbaby3! So glad that this thread isn't dead. I was getting worried that everyone abandoned it. :) Good luck! Are you doing the regular version of LE or the PCOS version? I'm doing the PCOS version.
I would like to join too! I started LE two days ago and I'll hope to get my first attempt in february but I tend to have long cycles on LE so it might be march for my first attempt
Good luck to all of you ladies. We are all swaying pink, right?
Hi momamia4,
I am doing the regular LE diet. I don't have PCOS so I never really looked into the PCOS version. What's the difference? Maybe I should research it more???
Blue-Blue-Pink? - Welcome! I think we are all swaying pink. I hope we all get what we want. FX
pinkbaby3 - The PCOS version is for people with PCOS, Insulin Resistance, or who have poor egg quality. I have Insulin Resistance, so I went straight to that version. I wish I could do the regular version! It looks much easier!
I'm swaying pink as well in April. Glad I will have company!
Random tidbit of information: The Farmers Almanac says that the best day to start a new diet, and get successful results, is January 10th. I normally don't buy into that kind of thing but I figured it certainly can't hurt. So if anyone has not started their diet yet ... January10th!
January 10 is blue monday right? When everyone who started their diet or tried to quite smoking or whatever gave up.
I can imagine it might be easier to start then but I think we all have strong enough motivation to not give up. Our babygirls are waiting at the end of this long and hard LE road! :fingers:
I started my Girl Diet the day after Christmas. (Christmas we had roast beef, so...)
Hmmm.. Interesting. I started 2 days ago. So far so good. Last night, my DH said he's willing to sway hard with me too! I couldn't believe it! :holysheep: It actually took a lot of stress off of me because I was going to trick him into swaying, lol! What about your DH's? Are they willing participants?
DH was willing for the last two and is for this one as well, for everything except the frequency part. If we are making a baby there is no way that he would agree to either one attempt at OPK or every 4 days. I don't feel that I can argue to much since I know he is doing this for me, he would prefer another boy next.
This is my second day on the diet.
I was afraid DH would make a big deal out of the frequency thing too but he really wants a daughter just as badly as I do. Maybe even worse since his brother had a baby girl recently. Every time we go see her, poor DH gets sad and impatient for us to start trying.
My DH is willing to do everything, cutting back on red mead and taking supps and also releasing or whatever frequency thing. What he doesn't want is all the drama and having the feeling that I am miserable and sad so not talking about it constantly.
So he is willing but I can not really complain or whatever when I am having a rough time so I guess that's where you come in ;-)
What are you ladies doing for exercise? I have a treadmill that I am trying to use. I think I am going to start out at 30minutes of walking a day and 6 days a week, and slowly working up to 60 minutes of walking/jogging 6 days a week.
Blue-Blue-Pink?, that's exactly why I love this place! A judgment free zone with all the support you could ever want or need. :)
mommymachine, I'm using the same technique. I've just been walking outside for 30mins 6x/wk. Tomorrow, I'll up it to 45 mins. I'll probably do that for a few weeks before I up it to 60mins. It'll be a lot easier after we get a treadmill because it's starting to get colder. So far it hasn't been too bad of a winter but I'm nervous for when it gets really bad.
Hi all! Tentatively stepping into this thread... :)
I'm coming off back-to-back miscarriages and trying to get healthy and ready to TTC again this spring. I started TTC in Feb 2014, so a lot of the women I first swayed with are already holding their baby girls. It gives me hope...but I totally feel like I'm starting over. Hoping this spring is my time!
Will two pregnancies (and a chemical in between) this year, I've put on a lot of weight, so I'm already starting to diet a bit in order to lose some. VERY modified pink diet...closer to fertility for me at this point but trying to keep calorie son the low side. Also trying to exercise most days—elliptical indoors or walking outside with the kids if it's warm enough. My main focus is just making sure I'm making as healthy eggs as possible and testing to make sure there aren't any other underlying causes for the mc's. I'm 38, and this is probably the last try my dh and I have in us, so I'm putting all my eggs (old as they may be. ha!) in one basket! :)
My dh has been a less than helpful participant in my past two sways. At first, I really had to convince him to even TTC at all! But after the losses, he really has seen how much this means to me and he's totally on board the baby train.
We're planning 1 attempt since that is how I got preg that last two times. The first time I think I was ovulating sooner than I though, so it took me 4 months to get a BFP. Ugh! The month we fell preg, it was when I gave up and started doing every 4 days. So, I'll be watching my cycles closely in the next couple of months to make sure I know when O comes.
Welcome, girliedreamz!! I really hope you get a super sticky little pink bean on your text try! I have had several mc over the years and I know exactly how hard it is to come back from. :Hugs!: Have you talked to atomic about maybe starting Myo-Inositol? From what I've read, it helps with egg quality so maybe it'll help you have a sticky bean?? I would definitely talk to her about it. She put me on it because I have Insulin Resistance but I know it is used for other things, like weight loss. Worth a shot IMO anyway. :)
Ahhhh I've been a silent lurker forever and I'm excited to jump in!! I'm Carmen, mama to two wonderful boys. My husband and I always said that we wanted two and were content with our little men for quite a few years. I delivered a baby boy as a surrogate in October of 2013 and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Not long after the delivery, my husband suggested we add another to our family. I was shocked and healing from a difficult delivery so I said maybe later. It was around this time I first heard of swaying and have scoured every inch of the site since. We have decided to start trying in March for a daughter. I'm planning a thorough but relaxed sway, because in my heart of hearts I think that the right soul for our family will find its way to us... But that doesn't mean I'm not going to give it a fair chance! I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!!
Hi VegMom! I've been a silent lurker for a long time too. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who does that, lol! FX we're all successful! :)
Ugh! It's so cold today! I couldn't stay out for 45 mins. I guess I'll have to switch to workout videos until I can get a treadmill. The only problem that I have with those is that they stress me out because I have horrible rhythm, lol! Not to mention the fact that I have to move everything out of the way before I can even start. Such a drag!!
Welcome vegmom and good luck with your sway! Silent lurking is totally ok here :)
Will you include exercise?
Welcome girliedreamz and good luck to you too!
Will be nice to have a support group so we know we are not alone in this!
It's SO nice to know and feel like I'm not alone. I am including exercise, as the evidence make it too hard to forgo. I'm struggling though because I'm a yogi through and through. I was an avid runner (running 25-35 miles per week) when I was bitten by the yoga bug and now I spend 10+ hours a week on my mat. I know that I should be doing 60 minutes of cardio 5-7 days per week, so I think I'll compromise and turn my yoga practice more meditative. That way I'll be decreasing my muscle mass, getting my cardio in, and decreasing all my Martha-ness too :)Quote:

How is everyone doing today? I supposedly get to find out when my tubal reversal surgery is going to be scheduled for tomorrow. I am excited but freaking out at the same time. The whole idea of the surgery is making me nervous. It doesn't help that my mom had a tubal reversal about 25 years ago and her surgery/recovery was horrible. She keeps telling me that it's going to take 6-8 weeks for me to recover and I'm going to have a huge 10in scar like hers. It's not helping. Hers was complicated because they also took out her appendix at the same time (I guess when they opened her up, her appendix was close by and about to rupture so the dr made the incision bigger and removed it). I keep reminding her of the appendix thing and she claims that isn't why hers was so bad. :rolleyes: Anyway, I just want to get the whole thing over with and move on to ttc. Sorry for my little pity party. I'm done now. I promise! :)
Holy Cow! I just got the official date of my tubal reversal! It's going to be on Feb 23rd which means that we won't have our first ttc attempt until the end of April/beginning of May. I can't believe it's finally about to happen! :D
