TTC girl- July 2012

[mummypink]

This 2ww is so going to drag! I'm only on cd20 of a 29-31 day cycle and I'm growing impatient lol!

Quick question, for probably the last 6-8 months or so I've noticed that I'm getting more ovulation/ period type pains that start before and carry on for a few days after I get a +opk. They can be quite uncomfortable and are usually around my lower back and round the front of my hips. Does anyone else get this?
This is my first month of trying with the LE diet sway, we started trying for our 3rd baby last November and I was using Shettles and not getting pregnant, we had a break from ttc from March to now because my cycles started going weird. One month my af arrived only 4 days after I got a +opk (which is usually around cd17), and other months I would start spotting around when my af was due and it would go on for 3-4 days before my af actually properly started. I'm thinking it is probably just a psychological thing but wondered if any of you had experienced something similar?

Fingers crossed everyone still waiting gets their BFP and hugs to those whose af has already arrived. xx

Hi Coj13- I was advised because my DH was over 35 (he's 43) that he needed to do FR. So he began FR a few days before AF to O. Also, I believe every other day sways boys. I only did one attempt at my first pos OPK stick - I am in 2WW hoping to have a positve preg test - so we will see... Also, from what I have read calcium/mag tends to sway boy as well and I would not take those supplements. The supplements that are favored on the LE diet are listed on this site. I took, but you may want something different, vitex and saw palmetto (from AF to O), folic acid, a low dosage aspirin every other day. The LE diet is huge on this site, and you can find many tips and gain a lot of knowledge looking over the forum.
Good luck

Thanks for replying on ig they recommend cal/mag now I'm confused!!!
I think dh should do fr then,gl in your 2ww keeping fingers cross for u xx

Thanks again

Yes IG is different from this site! I started on IG then discovered this site. The LE diet, I think, is easier to follow. If you look at others sway attempts those that stayed on calcium/mag seemed to have swayed boy, not all, but most.

Ok ladies, I am still in 2WW and am assuming AF should show next week since I delayed OV by a week with using Vitex. But if AF were on original schedule, it would come tomorrow... My symptoms after DTD: this past Wednesday had some slight cramping, not like AF cramping it felt different, then Friday had twinges on right side with again cramping. The cramping is very prevalent in the morning and at night. Today I have had a light brown spotting... Don't know if this is just my body all out of whack from getting put off on a different schedule??? Curious to see what this all means... Anyone else experiencing body symptoms?
