TTC Girl - June 2012

[suregena]

True...

My diet wasn't as good as it could have been. I still LOST weight and was about 112 two days prior to O... which was the lowest, but I feel my diet was poor *at times* (not all the time...)

The first time I swayed before I gave up because of my delayed long cycle back at the start of the year, I lost soooo much weight, but my diet was hardcore. I did REALLY good. My husband did amazing... 3x a day licorice root, FR, etcetera. This time? Eh. I so wanted to get pregnant and I had weird moments where I'd throw a nibble in my mouth (naughty me!), husband only did licorice root 1x a day because I really wanted to get pregnant, he DID FR a lot though... starting CD5 and still mostly continued when we started BD with the odd day where we only BD'd... so I guess that's good. It looks like the two attempts where we didn't do J+D was right before my O day, but if I recall he had released those days, too. I think. Can't remember!

But we are both vegetarians, anyway. My diet was pretty low fat (didn't mean to, though...) until towards closer to O day. My calories were always within where they should have been but did vary wildly each day sometimes, and I did have the odd accidental binge (cookies I baked, oops! Work treats, oops! Though still within range) which is why I feel a little disappointed in my diet... ... quasi-snacking the odd day, but I guess it was extra hard on me because I am constantly moving, so am constantly hungry. If I were still in the US and driving around, it would have been easier. Unfortunately, beyond public transport, my feet are my mode of transportation.

I did what I could and I DID just want to get pregnant asap, so we'll see! I won't be sad if it's a boy, not at all... I'll just feel like a goof even bothering to sway at all... with all the money I spent! Hahaha!

Overall I lost probably 6lbs or so after restarting the diet.

The first sway that I gave up on because O was sooooooo delayed I went from 119 to 103(!!!) in less than two months (oops... bad juju.)

This time I was more sensible... went from 118 to 112 instead.

Hey Ladies! Well..I feel this is a lucky month for some reason! And MY HOPES are up for all of us, because Jessica Simpson is a chow hound and ate like crazy and had her girl LOL....fried foods, garbage, junk foods, cereals...and had a girl naturally. Here's to hoping!

And I'm not going to be so strict on diet this time. Lost a lot of weight and O was delayed 5 days which threw off all my BDing attempts. My body did not react well to the acidity and weight loss. Staying away from potatoes, tomatoes and red meats. Keeping weight low maybe a little loss and garbage foods. My body is now mushy and tone-less. Love it. :/

Also, we've recently started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and first season I was sort of meh about, but I'm totally addicted now on the second season and have been insisting we watch like five episodes in a row... on a work night! Now my husband is fed up of going to bed really late and I was throwing a fit (haha) and he said, "If you had this attitude all the time before I married you, we wouldn't have gotten married... so you better be pregnant!" I laughed and said hopefully he's right as I haven't noticed how awful I've been this week!

OMG suregena - Buffy is the most awesome show ever!!! And it only gets better We used to do the same thing... we would watch like 5-6 episodes in a row and stay up til 2am on work nights... LOL

After you're done, you need to watch Angel next to complete the whole saga!

Praying for you Suregena! I bet you are pregnant!!!

Heeheeh, we have all the Angels READY TO GO!!! We're going to start Angel alongside Buffy with the appropriate seasons... I think Buffy season 4 and Angel season 1? I can't remember... my husband knows how we have to watch them. I can't remember!

ODDLY... we've had Willow (hope I don't jinx myself...) picked for our future girl for ages. I'm okay with it even more now! :P

So, er, to put things back on topic... I hope Willow is in there.

Suregena did you POAS today? I am such a POAS addict and I am dying to see if you get a BFP! Your temp looks awesome today!

The best way to do it is to watch Angel starting off after Season 3 of Buffy - but watch the finale of Buffy before starting season 5 of Angel since that whole season runs after Buffy ended.

Willow is a great name!!! She was my favorite character. Our girl name is Aine (Anya)... you haven't met her character yet, she shows up for the first time in season 3. And one of our boy names is Xander... so funny

DH used to work for a card company that sold Buffy game cards, so we were quite into it, can you tell!!! :P

[suregena]

ARGH! I typed a whole bunch and it got deleted. ARGH!

Heeeh, awesome!

The gist of what I said was... our future girl is Willow Nova (and then another middle name, as my son have two so we're keeping up with that! But we've got a few second middles we're still undecided on) so I hope I don't jinx myself... have only shared it with my mom!

Today I actually thought I was starting my period... felt mildly crampy (but as I have been, anyway) but 'wet'... but nothing... PHEW!

I did use my last test this morning and it looks identical to the others. Yesterday morning's was the clearest. I'm out of tests now but have ordered more and they should be here when it will be the best time to test, anyway.

Here's an undoctored photo of all the tests so far. What do you think?


I *think* it starts from 6DPO to today (I'm 10DPO.)

Yes, I ended up peeing on more than I wanted. Will power? A FAIL! :P
