Hi everyone!
I'm about to get into my actual sway (aiming TTC July) and thought it might be nice to have a place to chat with fellow blue swayers...there aren't heaps of us so might be good to keep it in one place :)
Feel free to join me ^^

hi Jazmin,
While I am happy that you are her e- I am keeping my fingers crossed that you get a BFP soon and are no longer in the TTC space!!
When does Ramadan end this year?
All the best LMSM! I just got a BFP today, however if this is a chemical then I might join you here as it’s early days.
Also, hope your surgery goes smoothly and you have a full recovery (if you haven’t already had it).
aw thanks ssoo much. me too.. hoping to see bfp soon.Quote:

I think I saw you're getting some testing done? Hopefully if there is anything in the way of conception, it can be easily sorted.
Being on the HE diet will only up your chances so keeping all my FX!!!
For now, upping my cals/fats/protein - and getting back into exercising - and taking my supps
Trying to get DH more fit (supps, a bit more exercise as he does nothing - and more water/ more BD to keep the pipes clear haha).
Will up the intensity of it all in the next few weeks - and increase cals/fat/protein in the 6-8 weeks before attempts
yeah.. the wait is not fun. [emoji24]..yes .. I have a scan coming up.. and then I will do a proper check up later in August. will continue ttc between and hoping that aug test isn’t needed.Quote:

What kind of scan have you got planned?Quote:

It must be weird to be able to eat all you want after fasting all day for a month! remember that the fatsing probably also had an impact on your stomach capacity to an extent so ease into it so it becomes easier to eat the food you need for HE :P
what was your diet diet before starting to sway?
I had transvaginal scan. lol yeah I was a bit nervous about the scan but it went alright. I need to wait for the results now.Quote:

Seeing all the successful blue sways in 2023 - knowing there haven't been many blue swayers around - is encouraging..
Let's hope the trend will continue for us :D
It definitely sounds like you have made big changes to your diet since having your girls so you're doing great!
Has your husband had any testing done? is he taking any supps?
I think you live in the UK, right?
(I can't seem to get mine to agree to take ANY this time - he just tells me that any vitamins go straight through you so there are useless :rolleyes: :rolleyes: last time we were getting ready TTC (and had an oops before starting) he said he felt he was just a "machine" used to make a baby and I was trying to forcefeed him supps...which I wasn't even!! so it's an uphill battle to get anything in him - sigh)
Also stumbled across this just now - Atomic, scientists are getting closer to demonstrating how what we eat truly changes our bodies to our core !
So interesting!!

If I was you, I wouldn’t worry too much about DH’s supps if he is not happy at all. we cant force them unfortunately. i know so many people around me who doesn’t take any supps at all and still have boys so DHs supps could be a minor one as he still gets vitamins from food. you can definitely do other factors and it all adds up.. hope we get our boys soon [emoji170] [emoji4]

Yes I wish they'd unravel the mysteries a little faster, LOL! I would love to be able to tell you guys with 100% certainty how to get a baby of a certain gender!!
How cool it’d be,eh?!Quote:

Where are you at in your cycle now?
I am on CD5 today.. we may start attempt from CD6/7.. fxfx for both of us.Quote:

So will keep using condoms until the cycle of TTC - and then no condoms at all once in the attempt cycle to get that semen exposure prior to attempting (but kinda scared of having a BD early and DH then not wanting TTC or unable to perform and be left with one batch of sperm = 1 attempt) - and hopefully get 3+ BDs in the fertile window :D
How have you been doing things - unprotected all the time?
oh yes.. that make sense.. yes we didn’t do unprotected when we weren’t in the attempt cycle too.. we have started our attempts in this cycle .. Cd9 today and expected to ovulate on cd16.. hoping this is our month ..Quote:

yeah. it is hard. fingers crossed [emoji1696]. not ovulated yet..
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
When do you usually O? Do you think you'll be ok with the # of attempts?
I feel like things usually go well and then boom, sick kid, sick parent, hard day at work etc and it throws a spanner in the works...
I don't need the sticky fertile blue dust this cycle or the next - all yours! :D
On the plus side her, DH FINALLY has decided to get fit - I think I can thank his buff gym junkie boss haha... long may it last! I think I will try to be competitive with him, will motivate us both.
He won't take ANY supps :( but if I can at least make sure his body is fitter, diet healthier..that's a win in itself I guess
I usually O aroud cycle day 15/16. not sure about this month but I am defo in the fertile week now.Quote:

Sorry for the late reply, I seem to have missed your last post!
Are you in the TWW now?
Did you end up getting the results from your NHS testing?
I'm now 2 months away from our trip - and if my cycles continue the way they do I should arrive just a couple of days before peak so fingers crossed DH will be ok with TTC and able/willing to perform haha
I thought that I would only be able to try one cycle while away but checked my calendar and if we don't get a BFP on the 1st cycle, the 2nd cycle I will O while we are still away and if anything, might be better (more time enjoying the food, relaxing etc...though unsure where we will be so if we would be able to get BD in - depending on where we stay, we may have enough privacy or not :P)
Since it is M-2 before attempt time, my sway is now in FULL mode - i.e. full HE full exercise, full supps...shame DH is unwilling to take ANY supps but he has started exercising 2-3 times a week so that in itself is a win that I will take!
Hey.. no worries.. yes in 2ww .. dpo10 today. thinking to wait till AF. I am due on Sunday as per my chart. I thought I started today .. as i felt the period pain.. and almost updated my calendar even before checking but no show yet. but AF is close i feel.Quote:

oh nice !! it is really the best time to ttc while away on holidays.. i know so many people who conceived during the holiday time.. wish you good luck…

How long will you be at home for? and can you just go to a Dr and request exactly whichever tests you want as long as you pay for it basically? other than the HSG what have you got planned? (I can't remember if your DH has done a semen analysis already)Quote:

I'm definitely hoping being away, back home, on holidays will bring us luck!
xx
Also, are we really the only blue swayers here? haha
No, there are others, just that they're not as active! Come out of the woodwork ladies!
yea.. I hope the same.. getting a bfp before and not having to go through uncomfortable tests [emoji24]
I am on period now so am out this month too which makes my hope lower and lower each month lol
I can definitely request for different tests .. but the doctors usually know what they are looking for and request for different tests to rule out each. They wont usually miss anything as they get paid for each tests etc [emoji16][emoji23]
The doctors and results are much faster and most of the time they give us appointment earlier if we tell them we are not there for longer. my plan is to visit as soon as i reach there so I have enough time more visits if required.
yes we did a semen test from here and it was all
ok.. we will probably have to do one there as well

I certainly am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you.. fertility assessments are no fun. If it comes to that though, it will hopefully figure out what might be stopping you from getting pregnant and help you get there faster!Quote:

How are you feeling now that Ramadan and fasting are over?
thank you.
how are you doing ? are you attempting this month?
I am back to track with diet and activity. AF meant to be around this weekend . fxfx

Since my July cycle fertile window will open just as we lang, I'm inclined to defer to the August cycle so that we are settled, over jet lag, can have a chance to eat plenty, get some relaxing going etc ^^ If my cycle changes and my O is late for July, I may still attempt then, we'll see how the dice roll!
I will wait for AF to arrive. meant to be Today .. no show yet but must be around the corner.. in 2 days . haven’t tested yet

You have got a great willpower - when I am TTC even when I know it's AF coming or too early to test, I can't help myself and test....
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you - hoping it's a baby and not AF!
I hope so too.. fx
I thought of testing twice then I just thought about that disappointment I get when I see negative result.. and with the hope..that staring and showing up in the light I do .. to see if there is a faint line.. lol I rather see AF than seeing negative results [emoji24] .. its so bad feeling as the months go pass.
it is hard to not do the test but i didn’t do last month either.

I know what you mean - better have AF show up and not have hope crushed. Like you say, when you test, you always try and see things even if they aren't there.Quote:

if AF not showing up until Wednesday i will test [emoji2]. it could be late period as this month i was a bit sick.
