Pink swayers' December thread

[Jamie86]

Sometimes reading on here makes me really nervous because I am really not putting much into the "girl diet" I am just trying to eat in a way that reduces my chances of gestational diabetes (so I am eating very little sugar and starches although I do mess up occasionally). I also feel like I conceived both my boys while on very strict diets with DS1 I was doing weight watchers very strict and had just lost 15lbs in 2 months and with DS2 I was going to a "diet doctor" and taking phentermine and eating barely anything and lost over 15lbs in 1 month. So I'm hoping that it will be enough to do something "different" from what I did with my sons rather than to stress myself out over a specific girl diet. Although reading on here how disciplined you ladies are I'm feeling like a big ole slacker.

Jamie - I think as long as you're doing something different than last time, you're swaying! Don't let the diet details get you stressed - personally, I'm just doing what works for me. What works for you could be something completely different. Besides, health concerns like gestational diabetes are far more important than dieting to sway.

I absolutely agree with mocha. we all do it a little differently. we all ate so differently to begin with before the sway. you have to figure out what feels right for you and what is right for your health. i find that i have to eat breakfast no matter what, so i do! and it is actually my most cals of the day, but i can't really change it. but i still am eating way fewer times a day than i was before the sway. good luck, we're all here to help!

Well, I've pretty much given up hope for this cycle. When I woke up this morning I'm spotting again, this time red with clots and heavy af cramps. At this point I'm praying this is the beginning of af because if it is I might JUST be able to squeak in our attempt before we leave for our trip to the in-laws on the 22nd. I still don't know how we'll manage our attempt if I O while we're there since we're sharing a bedroom with all 3 kids.

This is CD 25 for me, but only 7 dpo (I normally have 26-28 day cycles). Anyone know if it's possible to have a shorter than normal LP in the cycle right after a m/c, or should I assume this isn't af starting and I'll have to wait until my normal 12-13 dpo for her to arrive?

[Indira]

Sorry Mocha I would think your lp could be shorter the first cycle after a mc, also considering you didn´t get a +opk, your hormones could be a little messed up right now, just my thinking. I hope you can have another attempt soon and catch the egg

[zanacal]

I'm sorry mocha, I'm so frustrated on your behalf. FX you get an early AF and an attempt before you go to your MILs. {hugs}

YAY, Zan!!! Replied to your other thread but I'm still riding your high!!! YAY for little pink impending bundles of joy!!! And YAY for you!!!

We did frequent BD all summer, and BOY did it get old for us too. DH couldn't get into it unless he thought I was, so I had to brush off my acting skills when really dtd was the LAST thing I wanted to do most of the time.

Yeah...DH knows I can't get into it for sway purposes but it really does seem to help when I grab his @$$, wriggle around and let out some little noises, lol.

M.J….!!! I know you don’t hold much hope for this cycle and it’s okay to feel that way but I’ll always keep the hope alive for you, okay? Maybe this isn’t your BFP cycle but I’m still cheering you on and keeping the BFP torch alive. Sorry if my words are corny but seriously…That’s what I’m here for…I’ll always keep hope alive for you, even if you can’t.

Jamie!
Did someone say “control freak”…??? I think I just heard someone calling my name!
Regarding boobs, I completely understand your decision to get the surgery! I was so mortified when I got dressed and looked in the mirror one day! I tried stuffing the left w/6 breast pads and it looked a bit better but things were still off. Now it’s cold weather here so I’m bundled up and no one can tell anymore. I figure it’ll resolve itself when I get preg again. He’s not showing any signs of being done w/BF anytime soon. Boob man, just like Dad!

I think the others shared my opinion on this already but just wanted to reiterate that everyone is different and there’s no one right way to sway…You just do what you can and what makes sense to you. The “perfect sway” doesn’t exist even if others talk about it. There are absolutely NO guarantee what so ever. Our bodies are all different and things that work for me, may not work for you and vice-versa. I know you know all of this already but just wanted to put it in writing for you so maybe you’ll feel a bit better. There are times where I just start 2nd guessing my sway left and right but I’ve been at this long enough to know I just can’t let myself go there b/c it’ll tear me apart and take me to places in my mind that I don’t want to go. Please try not to get down. We’re all feeling the same way on some level. and
