Oh Soni, I am so sorry! I hope things are okay... keep us posted!

[Hobbermittens]

Cinss, what's the deal? I was SO SURE you and Pop were in this month! I am really sorry.

Cinss, I wonder what was up this month? Do you think you O'ed a bit later that FF says? Maybe that explains why AF is 'late'?

[Cinss]

I think i did O when FF said, or the next day and my LP is usually 15 days so its not like AF was really late or anything just a day or 2 to get my hopes up. I just dont know what to try next month i am starting to think about the TBM. I have slowly dropped everything from my hardcore sway i started with. I literally just take prenatal now. I dont even care about getting a boy anymore i just want a baby.

I feel the same, I just want a baby now. I still take the supps but my diet is no where near as boy friendly as it used to be. I thought the TBM actually reduced your chance of conceiving not increased it?

Hi ladies Had a follow up scan today and placenta is partially covering my cervix(hence the bleeding so far!). Apparently I have placental lakes too. Anterior placenta and past csection scar may make it hard for the placenta to shift enough for a vaginal birth and in that case bub will need to come earlier before 35 weeks because i have my babies early they cant risk labour starting. I have hospital app on Friday.

I am feeling the same way!! I don't even care about having a boy now, I just want to start my last pregnancy and enjoy it!! I have dropped everything except prenatal and fish oil which I take anyway for hair and nails (also good for EWCM). I am starting to wonder if I should drop preseed this cycle?I have always fallen pregnant 1st go and never used anything to promote fertility before. Maybe preseed doesn't agree with either my environment or DH's sperm? That's the only thing I can think of to change....that and dropping this boy diet weight. They say losing weight usually results in pregnancy when you are struggling??? May as well start swaying girl lol

[Plum3]

5, sounds a little worrying? Is everything ok with the baby still?

PoP, if you have enough EWCM then I wouldn't bother with preseed. It's probably not what's stopping you conceiving but I guess the less foreign stuff we put into our bodies the better? Funny you should mention losing the swaying weight. I'm still eating boy friendly foods but have reduced my calorie intake quite a bit. It will probably end up giving me another girl though!

Bec I started to change my diet 2 weeks ago right after my attempt. A friend at work who has a 22 month old son, told me her Dr made her start a diet after 8 month of TTC with no luck. Lots of small healthy meals and drinking lots of water. She fell pregnant a month later, so I hope it works for me. I am having breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. At least 2L of water, I have either a small serve of muesli or sultana bran with skim milk and a slice of multigrain toast, or a multigrain muffin with egg and a slice of fat free bacon or tomato and avo and cheese. Snack is either a small yoghurt or a few dried apricots or fruit, lunch is 1/4 carbs, 1/4 protein and the rest is salad or veggies, and a piece of fruit. Arvo snack is crackers and salsa, or very small healthy slice or a muffin, dinner balanced like lunch. Everything is whole grains and super healthy. I have lost 4.5kg in 2 weeks so far, and I really hope that helps in May!! Getting fat can't possibly be healthy or increase your fertility!!
