November thread for all swaying BLUE xxxxx

[luvalittleman]

WOWOW Congrats Cass! How are you feeling luv? Ovulating after your illness? It sucks to have a sway go not the way you were thinking! Speaking of ...

So something weird happened. We got our smiley last Sunday and dtd around then 3 times. Well I've been having increased CM and yesterday was cramping like O cramping. Too early for implantation, I thought maybe it was a bladder infection or something (only have had one before so wasn't sure) well on a whim, I did another OPK and it gave me another smiley! (I'd had no smileys after the initial one last Sunday). My husband was at a christmas party (drinking. great.) and I texted him to get home b/c I was ovulating. I'm happy I caught it but bummed that I wasnt ready for it and dh was drinking. I had been keeping up with the diet and supps but hadn't had gelatin or grapefruit juice (which I found really helped with my cm) since tuesday. Also, wth?! Faulty positive? two ovulations? what is going on?! Yesterday was CD17 which is when I ovulated last month. So it may be back to dpo1 for me (thought it would be dpo6 today). WEIRD!

That's too weird Becca!!
Could be that you've stimulated those ovaries with all your good eating and sups and popped out two eggs...?
Your sig doesn't say if you have any other children - how would you feel about twins?
I would have a heart attack as I already have 3 and that was meant to be my last. I always wanted 3 so 4 is moving out of my comfort zone....

I bounced back really quickly from the gastro. Only had the trots for half a day and was able to eat well the next day. Added a beef broth I'd made to everything for two days and quickly replaced lost potassium and sodium by doing BSD and COT drinks a few times a day and lots of bananas and coconut water.
Felt great yesterday and had friends over. Made lots of yummy healthy food and pigged out. Had a BD with hubby as a just in case but ruled out O as it should have been here Thurs/Friday. Was out doing Santa photos with the girls today and "ping" felt the familiar twang in my ovaries (strangely both sides rather than one side ----ARGHHHH).
Anyway, I had a disgusting smoothie of v8, raw silver beet, savoury yeast flakes and gelatine and about 2 hours later we did another BD so I guess I am possibly in for this month...maybe...

I considered sitting this one out but my prep has been excellent for the last 2 months and I figure even the most perfect sways fail so was happy to go for it.

Good luck luvalittleman, hopefully the 2ww goes quick for you

Blue please....how are you going? Are you testing soon?
How's everyone else going? Today I'm officially due for af. We she definitely ain't coming:-) I can't believe that I tested so early. I'm a little nervous as I've had one end in a m/c, although I had no symptoms by 6-7 weeks. I now have crazy diarrhea, everything tastes revolting and all I want to do is sleep. Actually come after lunch I can barely keep awake..its pretty hard with little kids lol. I'm coming to terms with the idea of having 4. I think I freaked out a little last week after the girls fighting and pushing boundaries and my buttons :-) well.... I picked out a name for a girl already.... actually I have had this name for ages! Funnily enough, I have no boys names despite swaying for one:-)
Ah... the start of a new week.... last full week of kinder for my big girl, last full week of occasional care for my other two....then I'll have 6 weeks with them home for summer holidays.
I'll be lurking...... good luck blue, fingers crossed x

Sorry for confusing you minimatron (baby brain already or still from my girls?!).

We have two potential boys names chosen from our last pregnancy which I don't think will change. We always struggle with girls names, so here's hoping that we don't have to use one again!

My fingers are crossed for blueplease!

For those ladies who are pregnant, did you ease off your supplements after getting your BFP? Some of my jars of vitamins are running low now.... thanks!

Yep i stopped Fishoil, green tea and protein shakes as soon as i got a BFP and just continued pre natal. That was all i was taking at the time.

[Blueplease]

Such a busy weekend haven't had chance to come on here. Well I tested this morning 10dpo and a bfn :-) gonna wait now till 14dpo. I really feel as if AF is on the way with the stomach cramps, backache. I never usually get sore boobs with my AF but have now. Not sure what to think. It's funny if it wasnt Xmas id be fine first month trying lets just keep going but with Xmas here it just makes you want it more. I have a feeling now this isn't by month but hey upwards and onwards. Hope everyone is feeling well!!

[Cinss]

Blueplease ive still got my fingers crossed for you, it is really not that common to see bfp before 14dpo, i envy the ladies that get them so early. Also if you are out this month try to see it as a positive because you will be on the diet for another whole month (i know that may sound daunting and blah) but it is really GOOD for your sway

[Blueplease]

Thxs cinss.. Yes another month/ few months will be good for my sway although the thought of it is horrible. Continuing to eat as I have bn. It said on google also that most pregnancy would have a false negative at 10dpo so we will see. AF def feels as if its on the way but aympotms sooner than normal. Time will tell. I will test again on thurs/ fri!!

Cinss, I still struggle a little with the protein bit at times and tend to eat the same thing.
Can I ask, were you eating two eggs a day and what protein shake were you having?
