TTC PINK! Nov/Dec 2013

[WillowsGirl]

fullredbarn that's how I have been doing it. I have just recently cut back on meat and will be meat free here soon. It was difficult to change my thinking on how to make meals without meat though. Especially sandwiches.

Hi and welcome! Great to hear you are able to exercise- that is a good swaying tactic!!! Just make sure that no matter, girl or boy, you *want* another baby! You could always push your ttc back a month if you are doubting yourself about wanting another?... Sounds like you have really been trying though if you have been doing the diet and exercising.. You can always talk to us on here, we are here to support one another

Oh yes don't worry I have had this discussion on my mind for 14 months now... I will not ttc unless I want another baby and not just a girl. I think what has me doubting is that my son is 17months old and at that active into everything stage. It's so crazy! Then the thought of being pregnant makes me weak at the knees and I get excited.

No meat? Eeek! I don't think I could do that but I have cut out red meat and eating smaller portions of chicken. How do you ladies do this diet when you have z family to feed as well? I hate cooking so would hate to be making up 2-3 different meals a night!

completely understand where u are coming from on that then!!! I have a 15 month old and a 7 year old.. The huge age difference between my boys kind of bothers me, BC ds1 doesn't really like to play with ds2.. go figure! So, I guess reasoning for myself is- although I will be running around like a chicken on the loose some days, at least my 2nd & 3rd kidscan have each other to play with & ds1 can continue playing by himself, as that is his favorite way anyway!
I love cooking, so usually either make pasta and add sauce & meat for my family after I take my portion of noodles out, or else cook 2 meals...

Can i join you? We are planning on ttc in december/january(finishing my final 3 birth control pill-strips)
My husband doesn't know about my wish and sway.
Because the info makes my head spin, and makes me change plans all the time like some of us experience ; ), i think it is better to let a custom made plan guide me..
I'm excited about our plans!
Ps: i already have the amazing son i hoped for, it would be great if i got blessed with the little girl of my dreams..

Argh! AF arrived a week early... Annoyed but excited as that means its nearly sway time! Annoyed as last Month I had a 34 day cycle when before that I was averaging 30 days and now Ive just had a 28 day cycle so now I can only guess when I will ovulate.
Speaking of, I'm still not really clear when to have this sway attempt. Before or after O?
I'm also annoyed as I've been sick for a few days and had a bad diet so from today I'm back to eating less and upping the calcium intake. Starting with ice cream for dessert

Everyone suggested I just make dinner normally and just eat all the sides but not the meat part. That has been working very well for me. I am not very into cooking so I was not going to be making two meals every night. I do think cutting out meat is important for my sway or I would not have. I love meat. Scaling back to very little or every now and then may be enough but I will crave it unless I just don't eat it.

That's so frustrating! Maybe the diet is messing things up? It seems like it could be normal for that to happen once you switch. I would take it as a good sign even though it's frustrating.

Thank you!! well I have AF on CD3! ahhhhh... and OLE is Olive Leaf Extract my DH takes one a day instead of Cranberry. I'm super nervous but we are throwing everything at this. DH has been downing soy and diet coke and no meat (can't believe it cause hes a weight lifter and no meat is killing him! haha) I'm getting him his tighty whites today ready for his abstain

[Mumto3boys]

Sorry I wrote above in case you don't see my post OLE is Olive Leaf Extract instead of Cranberry

I think I'm doing all right on the diet just slowly cutting back meat. Now I just have a tiny bit chicken for dinner and that's it. I haven't been tracking food or anything just trying to take a relaxed approach to this. I just think to myself that all those girl moms didn't count every gram of fat and I really don't want to either but we'll see how it goes. That is great your DH on board with swaying. Mine is ecstatic with two sons and he doesn't want to be bothered with swaying.

mumto3boys what is OLE?

Hi all may I please join? This is cycle #2 and cd1! Just a little background: I have endometriosis, PCOS, and on September 13 I had my tubal reversal! DH and I have two beautiful boys ages 4 and 2 we would LOVE to add a little princess to the family but will be happy with another prince too! I go back to Dr on December 19 for another test (to check function of my tubes) and possibly either progesterone or Clomid or both!
