October 2ww

[babygirlforme]

I'm not testing anymore. Gonna wait it out.
I've got cramps this morning. Not more spotting. Super nauseous last night.

Hoping you get your BFP callmecrazy. It all sounds good and it is still early. That's a good high temp today.

So I have a confession...i have not been on the diet really in the 2ww. I went out of town and stayed with my mom, who is a gourmet cook no less! There was no way i was going to be on that diet! It has been such a struggle for me to be on it as i feel like i'm starving. I am 5'11 and last weigh had dropped a few pounds where I normally run about 132. I don't like being under 130 pounds. I am DREADING getting my act together and going back on it. Not sure how many more cycles i can do it. It is not a healthy diet to me.

She has reared her ugly head. I'm out for the rest of the year.

You are so funny, confessing. I thought you were going to confess to taking a string of pregnancy tests like I’ve been doing, lol!

I actually abandoned the diet as of 2dpo, for good. So I guess my sway is out of the window unless I’m pregnant this month. I am still trying to keep my sugar low-ish just in case of a girl bean but there was another factor for me, besides all of the reasons so many on here want a girl. My beautiful ds1 is on the autism spectrum and I realized that even though they don't know for sure what causes all of the many degrees of autism, I have always combed through that first pregnancy and wondered about all the little things...eating steak medium with over-easy eggs when I was 5 weeks pregnant, eating lunchmeat because I didn’t think it would hurt me and possibly getting a silent infection, working too hard proving I was a tough-ass pregnant chick and good employee, getting kidney stones at 32 weeks and getting that shot to stop contractions… All things that may have had squat to do with his autism but *maybe* they did. Previously I was looking at it like I want to do everything I can to get a girl – not only because of my longtime desire for one but also because autism is less prevalent in girls. But now I realized that I have to look at it like this- I will do anything and everything I can to make my body healthy for pregnancy, including taking all of my vitamins and eating nutrient rich foods and cutting out aspartame (I was drinking it like it was going out of style). Not because any of these things cause autism- I really think genetics and our polluted environment are bigger factors and sure all you ladies and your swayed bubs will be fine…but I know myself, and can’t let me look back later and wonder if something I did swaying for a girl caused that child, girl or boy, to have to deal with autism.

So, I will keep trying, but with not much of a sway. I believe diet is the most important factor- so my husband’s reduced output (age?) and my lack of cm is the only things swaying for me anymore.

Wow, didn’t know I needed to get that off my chest, sorry for the long post, guys! I feel like I should’ve started that with “My name is cravingsalt, and…”
