Maybe- you are so lucky to see so much of the olympics, I so wish I'd been able to go. We will try to get to the paras and take all the boys! The atmosphere must be amazing.
You are right, it is too hot to be pg! If anything happens I'll text you and you can update the thread (if that OK?), FX something will happen this weekend!

Indigo- I feel like it was just yesterday you got your bfp! Wow! Hope your beautiful baby boy is here soon

Maybe- how fun! Wish I could be see the olympics in person.. The ticket prices are better then i thought.

Inglewood- thanks for cheering and supporting me!

AF should be here any day so my attempt month can get underway. Maybe Pms? I totally lost it on my diet yesterday. I ate all allowed foods but WAY WAY too much was so mad at myself after. Taking the boys on an overnight trip to an amusement park look forward to a get away. It been a long time we've done a get away. Thinking I should take advantage and get on all the rides before I'm preggo! Fx

Hello Ladies,
We've been trying to conceive #3, hoping for a girl after 2 gorgeous sons. We've been trying hard for a year with cut-off and a very strict diet. I came off the diet after 7 months in March as I didn't conceive a day & a half before Ov and I was just losing too much weight. With both sons we conceived perfectly - inadvertently!- for boy sways, both just a few hours or less before Ov, plus only DTD about once or twice before Ov. I've always assumed that my egg was released just as I get a big gush of EWCM - sorry, TMI! That, for me, happens every month and I usually only get EWCM on the day of Ov - if I get any that day before it's watery and not as thick as Ov day. Sorry for being long-winded, my dilemma now is trying to find peace of mind in the 2WW. *Deep breath!* I was totally caught out this month after using OPK's religiously three times every day from day 12 to day 16, the day before Ov. Not once did I have a positive, testing at 11.30am, 3.30pm & 7.30pm on digital OPKs. It's totally thrown me as I expected to ovulate on day 18. I didn't even realise until the morning of day 18 when my cp had lowered and I got creamy cm. We DTD every day from day 6 to day 16 excluding days 10 + 12 and no O for me. It's been such a strange month for me as I didn't have the big gush of EWCM at all on or around Ov day, which lead me to believe that I was still waiting to Ov. Through charting (not BBT) for 2 years, I believe this has only happened once before. I think I ovulated as I had a little EWCM inside on the day we DTD but nothing outside, only a little watery cm and then more watery cm on Ov day. I felt like I had conceived but kept telling myself it was impossible as I genuinely believed I was still waiting to Ov. I feel so confused, as I desperately want another baby and would love a little boy as much as his treasured brothers, but a girl would just be all my dreams come true. Of course, I may not have even conceived, I have to wait around 11 days to find out. However, I fear that DTD the day before Ov (12 hours+ before) is just too close despite the strange lack of EWCM. Can anyone offer any words of advice or have any similar experiences? Sorry for making my first message so long! thanks for reading.

thanks Inglewood....of course nothing yet otherwise you all would have heard! I'll be on here first contraction no doubt I'll be so excited!

Welcome dreamofpink!

How is everyone else doing?

[maybebabythree]

Indigo - yes please text me anytime, exciting!!! Sad the olympics are over, taekwondo was fun, the girls were better than the men. A woman in front of me was shouting " kick him, kick him!!" hee hee like being back in lewisham on a friday night ;0)

Went to London to see rock of ages yesterday. 12 years hitched! Had to much to drink and walked bear foot from totenham court to soho bear foot! My feet were black! Butso much more comfy then my stupid shoes.

Welcome dreamofpink! Timing isn't that important hear x

[zanacal]

Dreamofpink - I don't think that timng matters at all! I conceived my girl on O day and most of the ladies with successful pink sways on this site were DTD at +OPK, which often turns out to be the day before O. The fact that you had less CM is a good sign as it indicates lowering fertility (which sways pink) but you need some CM in order to conceive! Your BD pattern is good too as frequent release sways pink. I would check out the LE diet if I were you (I'm guessing you were doing a different swaying diet?) as I do think diet is important and perhaps you could pick it up next month if you don't get your BFP. Best of luck!

Hi DreamofPink,

My story is very similar to yours, after ttc for 6 months and getting closer and closer to O I found this site and switched to the LE diet and didn't stress about timing.
I lost 8lbs on the LE diet during the first few weeks of it, my DH did fr every day from when my af finished through to the day I got a +opk. Then we bd within an hour of two of getting a +opk, and about 12 hours later. I got my bfp at 11dpo! Like you if I have another boy then that will be wonderful, but a girl would be a dream come true. I think it gets to the stage where you just need to get pregnant so you even have a chance of a girl. There is so much useful information on here and lots of lovely ladies with plenty of support and advice.

I hope you get your BFP soon! x
