TTC Pink February 2014

[TeacherMom]

I am TTC in February!

I originally was going to sway pretty hard but we are now going to try in like, 2 weeks. I just started swaying a little 2 weeks ago so it is just a short, quick sway. I should O sometime around Feb. 19. I also have no weight to lose (I am 5 ft. 2, 100 lbs).

Basically all I am doing is skipping breakfast (most days) and drinking a coffee with some creamer and fake sugar until lunch. Lunch is usually a Yoplait light yogurt, some pasta of some kind, strawberries, and some kind of sweet or chips. I also have been drinking Diet Snapple Raspberry Tea (no calories and has aspartame in it). I am limiting meat. No exercise (which is hard for me as I am used to training for marathons). I have been taking 1600 mcg folic acid, fibre 3 X a day, drinking some peppermint tea, and trying to "let things go" and be more carefree about stuff. I am planning on 1 attempt at +OPK with Zyrtec.

I have never temp'd, so not going to start now! That would stress me out anyway, plus I usually sleep terribly, so probably would not work for me. I am SURE I am one of those women primed for making boys because I always have ample EWCM when not on BCP and even conceived a boy ON BCP with no EWCM. For generations, my family on my mom's side has one of the other. My grandma has 7 sisters, she had all girls, my mom had all girls. All of her siblings had one or the other. Not sure if family history means anything but it seems crazy to think how frequent this has happened in my family.

Nice to meet you all!

Oh yeah, and I also plan on starting the baby aspirin but can't find any information on it...as far as WHY it's important for a girl sway, WHAT it does, and HOW OFTEN you should take it. Thanks!

Welcome!! As far sas the aspirin, I thought it was due to pH, but atomic said it swayed differently then just pH. Maybe check the complete index? Its in the general sway forum I think.

Im so impressed you are so good at the temping even with night duty! :-)
Thats a great help!

And yaay to getting a positive opk! Good luck!

I think my body is just used to the flipping and frequent waking during sleep. When I worked day shift and when I wasn't BFing, it was a different story. Like I couldn't temp after the sun came up or it would be falsely elevated. (weird I know)

We were going to do one attempt at pos OPK, but then I had to work nights this weekend and there is NO attempts when I have to work, so I made the plan to attempt thursday, then again monday if no pos OPK over the weekend here, and if still NO pos OPK by V-day, then attempt V-day for an attempt every four days. I'm glad I went with that attempt cause I'm convinced I screwed up the OPKs and I most likely ovulated yesterday and washed the OPKS out with too much pee.

After many chats tonight we're out this month. Decided its not worth the attempt with no exercise the last 2 weeks. Wishing u all luck and I may see some of you on ttc March xxxxx

greeneyes, it sounds like you dtd at the right time to me! So pulling for you!

Nice to meet you, TeacherMom! Good luck on the short sway - if you don't have much weight you can lose, it may be the best way to go anyway.

Sorry you're out this month, dreamingofwin. But I had originally thought I'd TTC in October/November... but I'm really glad I waited. I feel like I'm in a much better place now. I hope. CD 8 for me... getting close to O. Trying not to obsess...

I've started OPK's, my sway is waaaaaay looser this month, no exercise, LE diet but I've had some stomach issues so my calorie intake has fluctuated, hoping that just eating vegetarian will be enough. Still losing though, and drinking alcohol every night with folic acid daily and baby aspirin 2x a week. I've had about a cup of peppermint tea every day. My husband is doing the LR, FR and briefs. I expect to ovulate in the next week here! Anybody have trouble telling if the test line is lighter than the control line on the OPKs?

[greeneyes]

Good luck girls!!

Arimethia: yes!! And also see faint lines that aren't there.... I had 2 very faint lines on Monday and Tuesday this week, then nothing, then yesterday the test was negative but was a darker line than before. So fingers crossed today is the day. We have been holding off BD because I had expected a positive by now so we haven't BD since last Sunday. Will have to tonight regardless as I didn't really want to do more than 7 day abstain due to being 35 but it is what it is. We only really have time and energy for it at the weekend.

I have a spa day today for a friends birthday so am hoping the massage will tempt the egg out. Also ate 3000 calories and 100g fat yesterday with meat, brownies, everything involved. It was at a friends who wa cooking so I wasn't holding back )) getting to the spa now to spend time in the gym beforehand to work off some of that food!! And we are having roast beef today......oh well

Another question I am unsure of the answer to!! I don't get the abstaining stuff. I want to do 1 attempt at my +OPK. How long should we abstain before it? DH is 27 so...

Sorry if this questions is ridiculous. I felt ridiculous typing it. LOL
