Just wanted to pop on and say my dating scan went well and bubs is doing well.

Sorry I'm not about at mo, I promise as soon as I am feeling better and able to function I will be back properly.

GL to everyone with the attempts

Hope all bumps are doing well

ILP I'm still here and so is indigo and maybe baby and lexy popped on yesterday, great to see you xx

Lavender lime my sway went something like this Strict diet for almost 6mths with one cheat a week in the 2ww so I would have a cheat week one and a cheat week 2 it was usually chocolate. I did keep one decaf tea a day until the week before O as I missed it so much!

I did supplements cal, mag, cran, vit c, folic acid, think thats it!

I used an ioniser always on in the bedroom, I used a usb ioniser at work and home, I bought plants never had plants in my house before, I opened the windows and spent more time outside

I wore rose quartz jewellry everyday

I used acijel rather than a douche

I aimed for a 2 day cut off and O+12 but ended up with I think one day cut off and O+20 ish

I lost weight

My DH did supps including liquiorice root and tried to do the diet as best as he could and he did really well for him!!

My ph dropped from 6ish to 4-4.5 and dh ph from 8 to 7

My ewcm also dried up so I figured what I was doing was working

I cant think of anything else if I have forgetten any of the swaying aspects let me know and I'll tell you whether I did it or not

Glad you scan went well baby mad di you get a nub shot ?

Thank you so much TLMAC that looks like an amazing sway and it obviously was as it worked ! Did your Dp abstain?

Chocolate I guess diabetic sweets would be ok but I'm sure i've read something about citric acid raising PH so I think you would have to read the ingredients on them to be sure as alot of sweets have that tart edge to them. If IG is still is back on you should ask Tamara. i'd love to know if you find out as I have the worst sweet tooth! I know that crystal light make sweets but don't think you can get them in the UK.

Babymad glad the scan went well I had a feeling that someone had a scan today! Did you get any good pictures? Hope the sickness starts to ease off now you are entering the 2nd trimester.

I think I read about the sweets on the low everything plan as a good way to get empty calories, will ask on that post tomorrow. Bit scared of going back on ig as the thoughts on this site sometimes contradicts ig's and don't want to feel unconfident in my plan .... But don't want to miss out on possible great info. Typically we are probably away the weekend of ovulation, good in a way but means I may not have full access to the boards for any help, but its at butlins so lots of country walks etc. Especially as a full moon is due that weekend!

[Lavenderlime]

Sorry forgot you were doing LE I remember reading that someone ate skittles and Mike Ikes on The LE diet I think you can eat any sweets as people on LE don't tend to worry about gelatine.

[chocolate]

I think they said a little gelatine is ok but Not lots, I'm mainly trying to eat just pasta, rice, parmasan leeks and mushrooms but also trying to avoid all meat without eating much veg or fruit - basically as low nutrient as possible. But tonight I had a be good curry as I just had to eat something, was all labelled green though, even salt and fat!

CROCHET!! I've been crocheting for 16 years now(started at 13yo) and although I do know how to knit as well, crocheting is faster, easier to fix, easier to start and stop, and you can make some really cute things Knitting is better for clothes like sweaters, pants, etc, but crochet is great for blankets, hats, booties... If you want some help with learning, go on YouTube! There are some great tutorials. I just taught a 9yo how to crochet in one hour(just 2 simple stitches)and she's half way through a scarf already!! I would definitely try it!! Let me know if you need any help!! xo

wow thanks for the advice I learned to knit thanks to youtube! I would never have stood a chance otherwise since i don't know anyone that knits. When i feel more comfortable with the knitting i will definitely try and learn to crochet! I've heard about Ravelry, but don't have an account yet.. sounds like it could be a good website x
