TTC Girl - February 2012

[Mochagirl]

Sorry, rambling. I just don't think its worth torturing myself staying on this diet longer than need be only dtd 1 or 2 times at certain times only to get bfn's until I happen to get lucky, when those are not things that truly sway.

Well said, PFP. While there are some of us - usually the younger ones - who can dtd once and still get pregnant with all this other stuff we are doing as part of the girl sway, I think it gets harder and harder to succeed the older you get. Both of my BFP cycles this year, I got pregnant only after we added extra attempts - I think this most recent time it was 6 times. Like you, I just wanted to get pregnant and I'm 37, so the clock is ticking. The LE diet is hard to maintain over a long period of time, so I think it's best to increase your chances of getting pregnant quickly so you won't be tempted to start cheating on the diet, which is probably the most important part of the sway.

Hey Clomid Chicky, im confused on this clomid ive had ewcm 4 days ago cramping now every day for 4 days ,and still my temp hasnt risen and no pos tests im on cd14 and its been 7 days since last pill so i wonder if the cramps were ovulating or just a warning of whats to come?Anyways i will keep on bding it is now as of tonight the 6th day in a row!
Pinkin ive been looking at FF charts of pregnancies and alot of them show that they have bd day after o so you probably will too

hey huni i remember that with both of my last pregnancies, i would say you gearing up to ovulate hun, im sure you will get a +opk soon, what cd are you on ?

prayforprincess, I think you got the right idea for sure

I know a lot of couples who DTD infrequently and got boys and a lot who DTD alot all in a row and got girls, and some vice versa, etc. But I don't believe the old line that you should only DTD ONCE TTC'ing a girl because I know too many antidotal stories where women have DTD a lot and gotten girls, but of course I believe the ultimate factor is their maternal condition.

Can't wait for your attempt, and Peony's, and Hope N Dreams coming up!!

I am only 29 so hopefully with 6 attempts thru o I will get my bfp this month. I keeping thinking, possibly only 3 more weeks til I can make reservations at the Steak house! I have never had a hard time getting pg in the past (though my IVF cycles failed I think that is sooo different from trying naturally...the way they mess with your eggs, the drugs, taking out cells etc.). I have not tried to get pregnant naturally since I was 25 with my 3rd son....so 4 years later, who know's. Hopefully I still have my spark! I think I'll take out the replens and just use rephresh and sylk.

So, my husband sent me 2 dozen chocolate dipped strawberries for Valentine's from my boys. They are milk, dark and white covered. I know the dark are no good -- too many antioxidants/healthy stuff. I'll let the boys eat those ones. But the milk and white chocolate one's should be fine right? I looked up nutrients and they're 110 calories, 6 grams fat, 1 gram protein and 15 grams sodium. Not bad right? You think its ok if I have 1 every other day or so? I o in 8 days so I don't want to mess anything up with my diet right now.

prayforprincess i think that is fine hun a little treat every other day,

7DPO, hurry up TWW!

I know I will be the exact same way during my 2ww. I was laughing with my girlfriend last night because I feel like once I POAS and get a bfp I will jump up and down "hurray I can eat again I am going out to dinner tonight to celebrate...and oh ya, wahoo for being pregnant too!" I think I will first test 11dpo. When are you testing?
