TTC girl- July 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

So AF is here. Bummed but at least I know I am okay to lift boxes with our upcoming move to our new house and should be moved in by the first which is when I think I should be oing. Thanks for all you support!!! Best blessings on u all still giving a go at it.

suregena - i just had another random thought.
Was it you who said that your cycles are normal when you are not swaying? In which case you would be o-ing normally / on the average day range ??
Is it possible that maybe your body does this delayed o when swaying because you are not eating enough?
I mean i know you are probably sticking between 1200-1500 calls per day, but maybe this is not enough for your body? Maybe yours needs more?
I know women struggle with o if they are dieting heavily or are losing too much weight..

Could it be that when you do finally ovulate whilst swaying its because you have loosened your diet a bit and are having more 'cheats' therefore more calls, so your body finally o's ??

i could be well off the mark, it was just a random thought and i thought i would share

Yep, that's me. My cycle normally is very predictable, super regular and normal... it was even more so after my first child when my cycle came back. Like... perfect 27/28 day cycles.

My first sway attempt in Dec/Jan that I gave up on before I even ovulated = 55 days.

Last sway cycle attempt (I had to wait until the May cycle to sway again... BTW during the break my cycle was normal again, more or less!) - 50 day cycle.


This cycle - ??? Probably going to be the same.

I am indeed eating much more generously this cycle for that reason but it's not made much difference. If I don't stick with 1,200 - and at a big push, 1,400... I don't lose weight!

The very first time my fat and protein levels were just too low... the last cycle and this cycle they're pretty good.

My only guess is my normal diet, which was likely pretty high for protein/fat was still just enough to keep me regular in my cycle as I am vegetarian as it is?

My first two pregnancies ended in miscarriage, also... so who knows. But I've always gotten pregnant first month trying.


Sorry for any funny or odd typos... On my iPhone!

Suregena - I agree! I think your body just can't handle the diet at all. At least your temps looks somewhat consistent and not all over the place. I really want you to O! Come on egg....get out of there!

I have tried to stay away a little today and not stress/obsess about my upcoming attempts. I have the babysitter coming over at 6 so DH and I can go sit on the beach and drink margaritas and just relax for a few hours. One of my favorite things to do is just sit and chill as the sun sets.

Hope everyone is doing well today!

My cervix was high in the day but went low tonight and cm is stretchy... but feels like thick string?! It's got more white in it than clear...

I am officially all out of OPKs, so that's the end of that... so only temp will confirm now. I wish I never bothered buying them!

The only "darkest" OPK I got was an Internet one on July 14th.

Now I've been obsessing as I had those twinges and that left sided sore achey area near where I assume my ovary may have been... for the past two days... like I felt that spot when I walked and everything. It just dawned on me that by the time I went home from work today that sensation was gone? My temp was lower today so now I'm wondering what it will be in the morning?! I hope it shoots up, that'd be nice........ we will see...

Night all! I hope for a high temp tomorrow... pretty please?

Temp was 97.58 this morning! (From 97.05 yesterday.)

woohoo!!!! looking good

[suregena]

Also my weight was back to 114.6 this morning, which is where I expected it to be roughly yesterday and in general at the moment, when it was 116 yesterday which bothered me. Do you gain weight or water weight around ovulation and would it matter much to the sway? (If I did O yesterday...)

[suregena]

Owowow! I just had the sharpest pain on my last side in that spot I had pain in before. Is it an after pain or have I just ovulated now or is it just nothing??

We're DTD tonight and until ovulation is confirmed on my chart. I hope I'm doing enough as we didn't DTD last night. I'm also generally lower crampy today.
