TTC girl - September 2012

[suregena]

Thanks, girls.

For what it's worth Surgena, I was 189 when I conceived my boys. 195 with this little girl!
And my VERY heavy friend on FB just announced Girl#3
So....being heavier is not a bad thing for swaying in my opinion.. esp after coming off the LE diet, your weight gain might sway girl, who knows? But you won't know until you try!

HI ladies! Looks like quite a fun and friendly group in here I am a September swayer too. But my ov seems to have recently happened. Maybe....lol. My body is a bit funky from nursing. But I am here and trying to behave myself for a girl attempt later this month if my body didn't ovulate already.

Just going for it. Shrug. Want a baby, but can't call this month much for swaying. At all. Diet is most important and I failed there, at least with breakfast and snacking. Have skipped breakfast this past week more often than not, though...

Today is 7th FR day for hubby... my cervix is high, soft, and open and had some pains.. and plenty of eggwhite stuff in there. I have been taking antihistamine since I took soy again this month, folic acid, and I went ahead and used my random tube of repHresh I had from the end of last year to try to counteract even further my lack of good dieting.
if I by some miracle ovulate at a normal time, it's likely all due to my eating normal since start of August. :/ But, what can you do?

I woke up this morning with the feeling to go ahead and try. I figure we'll DTD every 2 to 3 days (with him FR on the days we don't) to try to lag any increase of sperm sitting around in there to 1) hopefully catch the egg, and 2) keep it sort of girl friendly with lower sperm count.

I have NOT used OPKs and stuff keeps happening that prevents me from temping, so I'm going old school and reading my body's signs. I figure I'll just keep going for quite a while and hope I catch it. At the moment I'm strict-ish on the diet (today = no breakfast, no snacking) but it's too little, too late at this point.

I'll probably try to take my temps if I have solid nights of sleep! I keep getting woken up so don't bother.

Anyway.

Ow ow! My ovaries!

At least all these symptoms are happening *sooner* than they had done for several months now...

I guess my body just really hated low cal/low fat/low protein. And I don't really understand why, perhaps the vegetarian diet since I was a teenager is about as low as it likes. :/

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!! Surgena, It's a good thing you listened to your body, and it looks like things will finally happen this month. I think you are doing the best thing, especially by not temping...just WAY too stressful!
I will say a prayer today for you my friend, 'Go make that baby'

Hello ladies,
I'm going to be a September swayer too. After much deliberation - I've only been on the diet for 2 weeks - I've decided to not give this month a miss. I lost 6lb in the first week so I'm hoping that the shock of the diet will help sway pink. We've been trying to conceive for a year now after a long cut-off and strict IG diet wasted so many months. I'm on cd8 now and likely to be on the diet for 3 weeks altogether before I ov. I was thinking of missing this month out to give myself 6 weeks on the diet but after losing so much weight so quickly, I don't want to risk losing loads more as I don't have lots to lose! Here's hoping we all get lovely pink BFPs!
