Pink swayers' December thread

[Jamie86]

Well ladies, i broke down and tested today and it was a BFN

I'm only 10 dpo, so not totally discouraged, although now all my symptoms have vanished, but sore boobs, but i always get sore boobs either before preg or AF so that is no help whatsoever!

Jaime, glad to have ya along! Good luck!

Mocha, I hope the spotting is still a good sign...keep us updated...maybe it's just implanation bleeding, hopefully?

Jen/OOTB: LOL, you make me laugh so much! Thank you! It's delightful to read all the posts, but yours has been cracking me up. Thanks! Good luck with getting a BFP soon!!

Rainbow, I dunno if it was an infection...not to be TMI, but aren't infections supposedly to be discharge-y? I've never had an infection so not sure if the irriraration was an infection, or just an irriration. It's worlds better now, though I'm still not in any mood to DTD.

Lemon, any news on BFN/BFP? Have you retested? Did AF come? Woman, we need details!!!!

Zan, I am so EXCITED to hear whether you'll be team pink or blue! Hoping you hear !!!

Thanks! And 10DPO is still early on peeonastick.com she tested every day and got a very very faint positive on 11DPO but absolutely nothing on 10DPO so there is still hope!

[Jamie86]

I'm total control freak too!

But you still got your DD so that gives me hope!

Mocha-it felt a bit like period but i guess i had other symptoms too like heartburn. you are 8dpo?

jen-out of curiousity, why are you doing low sugar? i usually eat so low sugar, on the le diet i have eaten so much more sugar and simple carbs than my whole adult life combined! i think i am thinking 1.it is different than what i am used to 2. it will drop my blood sugar drastically 3. a lot of girl moms i know eat like this!

I'm only 6dpo so I don't have a lot of symptoms yet - I have chills constantly, which I had leading up to my last BFP, and I did have heartburn last night, though that could have been the huge bowl of pasta primavera I ate . I also have cramps and I've been on a big cleaning binge around the house, which is SO not me.

amari - everyone approaches the diet differently. If you look at the food I'm eating, it's pretty much nothing but simple carbs and sugar.

Wow, you girls have been busy!

Had to swap my working days this week so haven't been around much. We had DS1's nativity on Monday. He was a King(he wanted to be a pirate but I had to break it to him that was not possible!) and they did so well. My boys are also 2008 and 2010 so looks like the perfect age gap to me!! DS1 is January and DS2 is March and they are both VERY different!

I am 5DPO and feeling a bit crampy today. I think I feel more positive this month than before but can't help feeling that I want it over by Christmas so I can eat real food again at my leisure!

GL to all those attempting and testing. xx

[maybeoneday]

Just two more days and we'll know whether we're team blue or team pink - why don't I have any sixth sense whatsoever?! I honestly have no idea what we'll hear but I'm trying to prepare myself for blue.

Zan, I will be thinking about you tomorrow but I know whatever you hear, it will be a perfect addition to your family. x

Here's the story...(I'm kind of embarrassed to admit all this but I've written more exposing things on this site by far!...) First off, DH is such a boob man! Waaaay back before pregnancy I did have nice little boobs… Mocha, I’ve been preg &/or BF since the summer of 2007 so mine have really been put through the wringer too! When I was preg this last time and thought I had a bleed, I tried wean DS2 too quickly…It was a disaster as now he’s doubled his drinking and also has refused to drink from my left side (b/c I wasn’t producing as much). I tried power-pumping on that side to compensate but it just didn’t work and I didn’t have the time. Fast-forward to now, DS2 still won’t touch “ol’ lefty” and is pretty much permanently attached to the right. I now have a sweet, perky little A and an almost C. It ain’t pretty, girls! Maybe DH just focuses on one side or something… Sorry…this post has been TMI but just wanted to say my boobs are nowhere near perfect!!!

I was always really lop sided when feeding both my sons, they always took a preference to my right as well but after I stopped feeding, they slowly began to look more even (a bit saggy, but even!!). On the whole, my hubby found it quite funny rather than sexy though!!

Thanks for sharing, made me smile. xx

I thought I remembered that you said you spotted through your first post-m/c cycle. You're right that it makes for a stressful TTC time. For me the spotting isn't every day. I bled up until CD7, then spotted every day up until CD13. After that I had a day with no spotting, then blood mixed in with my EWCM on and off from CD15-18, when I O'd. I had two days with nothing, then very brief an minor spotting on 3dpo, and more spotting on 5dpo/6dpo starting in the evening and ending in the morning. The sporadic spotting is sooooooo confusing because I keep thinking I'm done and back to normal, then BOOM I find brownish red when I wipe again!

Did you have a confirmed O in that first cycle? When did af return?

And as for a Christmas BFP, I wish! Unfortunately, it's going to be a Christmas sway and a January BFP. The thought of trying to stick to the diet when I'm staying with my in-laws for a whole week with no control over meals makes me want to cry. If af returns 4 weeks after my m/c, I'll be due to O on the 26th!

Mocha, I am sorry things are still sorting themselves out and I really have no advice to give you on the bleeding or even if it would prevent implantation but try not to lose hope yet, you never know.. (hugs)

As for Christmas with the in-laws, I too am not at home in control of food or drink... We are in France for Christmas with my mother in law, so I guarantee there will be French cheese and lots of wine and champagne up for grabs. To be honest I am kind of dreading it pregnant or TTC as we cannot eat French cheese or drink when pregnant and they are both rubbish for swaying as well!

[Mochagirl]

Oh, so true maybeoneday. It would be sooooo hard to be in France and not eating gooey cheese and drinking wine!!!

[zanacal]

I SO hope all of you trying at the moment get a BFP before Christmas - new baby aside, being able to eat all that wonderful food on the big day would be the best gift! My fingers and toes are crossed for every one of you
