TTC girl- July 2012

[HopeandDreamG]

Surprised to see no one started a July thread. I'm in the 2ww really hoping this is it! Taking a break after this cycle so hopefully I'll be in a due date group. Good luck everyone

I hope this is my month. My long 7 day AF is over so... now I wait for attempts!

Hi ladies, can i join you?

Been on the diet now for 8 weeks, had my first attempt on sunday so now in the 2ww. Wasn't the best weekend for it as oh had damaged his hand and got admitted to hospital but managed to get out in time and ds2 was poorly with a sickness bug. Just tried to take it all in my stride so not to stress.

Good luck to you all for this month

My weight is still not dropping like I'd like it to. Worried about that aspect but can't do much about it. Just wish my body would stop being so stubborn.

Wishing4pink- glad timing worked out. That's always so stressful. My h ends up on overtime just when I need him home each month.

Suregena- what's your plan for this month.

Just an FYI: someone started a TTC july girl thread. I didn't see it because it was under just gender swaying discussion not ttc girl. Iykwim
Didn't want you to miss it too!

Well, I took the soy CD3-7, 100mg 150mg 150mg 200mg 200mg, my period ended yesterday. Today is CD9 so will probably start opk's soon. Taking cetirizine. Hubby FR since CD5 and licorice root. Probably bd through O but waiting for him to have more releases first I think.

My diet I am worried about.., my weight keeps going up by a lb, not down! I keep having this weird back and forth. I try to remind myself that hopefully since I'm already vegetarian as it is and so is my husband that will help and like I've wondered maybe I'm/we're already more girl friendly than boy and we were simply lucky with my son. I'm just worried about the lack of the process of my weight decreasing (which is what sways... right? What's more important? Diet or the process of weight coming off? This cycle, my weight's just being a drag and I'm probably only a few lbs from my conception weight with my son, grrr!)

I know I shouldn't but I'm only going to eat about 900cal today to create an overall balance of poor maternal condition even if my weight still sits like it is. Might do 800-900 cal days twice a week at least. Running out of time!

Ovulation could be more on time this month from the soy (or not) so I am trying the best I can but the scale is making me not feel confident about the most important sway factor!

Sorry about typos as I'm on my phone. My mac is at the Apple Store doctor!

i'm with you suregena. Our plans sound similar. I think I am going to stop dtd though the night before +opk. We are dtd every night and then on the day I get my +opk we will not. I always o the day after so that will give me a 1.5-2 day cutoff with a good 3 attempts in there still swimming around.
I am not doing a cutoff believing shettles or anything, just doing it to reduce overall sperm numbers. I feel with my dh the more sperm is there the more the boys will win.
i am doing a mini fast this week too. like 800 calories a day. i know its bad but i have only been on the diet for 2 week now and i just had the worst weekend, was not good at all.
so i feel this is my only way to ensure that i am at a loss when i o.
have lost about 6 lbs., so am hoping I will lost another 3 this week before o-ing next weekend by eating so little.

Yeah, I am also wondering about stopping at positive OPK. As the past proves, I never seem to have good timing with using my OPKs and end up running out before I even O! I hope to catch the surge this time...
