TTC Pink February 2014

[greeneyes]

Yes! ONE attempt at pos OPK, or you can DTD every four days to ensure only ONE attempt in fertile window. Be sure to stick to the LE diet though! If you haven't, I totally recommend getting the personalized sway plan with the coaching forum! Well worth the money.

Greeneyes! Omg I am so thrilled for you!! Agh, that's SO exciting! It gives me hope too because we were doing a very similar sway and I'd convinced myself that all the jellies were too much with clomid (I also took zyrtek about 3 hours before DTD so not sure if that had time to work or not) but now I feel like I can actively participate in the 2WW I have a good feeling you'll see pink - congrats on BFP.

Ohh I wonder who'll be next! I'm only 2DPO (& that's just a guess) so I'm quite a while off testing. We'll probs still have one more attempt this month on cd 20 because my cycles have been long prior to clomid - the last was 45 days! So no idea if that was real ov or not? Anyway, we're getting more relaxed at the whole "pink production" each time we've attempted so it's only helping the quest LOL x

I was just standing in my kitchen and suddenly felt a sharp pain, like being stabbed with a long pin from the top of my stomach, through my uterus and down into my inner left thigh. It was so intense I doubled over and had to lay down. It only lasted a few seconds.
Still going to wait until next week to test, but maybe it was implantation? Ah, who knows!?

Boy, that would be great arimethia! Fingers crossed for you! And huge congratulations, greeneyes... That is great news!

Yaaaaaaaaaay, greeneyes!!! So thrilled for you!!
Let's hope it's the first of many bfp's this month.

Congrats greeneyes!!!!

I would like to join your group! I have 2 boys, ages 10.5 and 4.5, and this is our first month TTC girl! Our boys were "oopsies" after DTD twice without a condom. DH is 31 and I am 32.

I got my first +OPK on Tues afternoon, which was CD13, so we BD at midnight that night after a 7 day abstain. This is also my first month off the mini-pill, but I've been charting the last 3 months and I was still ovulating and having a regular period while on it. I'm on CD15 now and haven't had a temp rise yet, but I normally O on CD15 so I'm assuming I'll get a temp rise in the morning. I'm hoping our one attempt was enough!

If I don't get a BFP this month I will be waiting till June to TTC again since I want to avoid a Dec/Jan baby and I'm in no rush to get pregnant. My boys are 5.75 yrs apart and it looks like DS2 and a new baby would have about the same age gap.

Good luck to everyone! I'm hoping tomorrow will be 1DPO for me!

Welcome, essnce629!

I had a girly day for me yesterday. I was going to just go get my eyebrows done, hair trimmed, and highlights done with possibility of getting my nails done, but I ended up getting my hair cut AND colored! I went silver! It actually looks more like light blond with silver highlights though. I have to go back next week and have more toner added to darken it and make it more gray. Its interesting to say the least!!

I adore silver hair (I'm nearly half white/grey naturally but wish it would come in faster). Can you post a pic? I'd love to see how it turns out. Congrats again on your BFP!

Following... I too am TTC Pink starting in Feb )) Getting nervous as this will be hubs and I's first time TTC ever!

Oh exciting! It's nice to see someone else swaying for their first!

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).

No exercise (which is hard for me as I am used to training for marathons).

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.

We have a lot in common! I also made my first attempt after just a few weeks on the diet, even though I originally planned to wait another month. But then I didn't conceive that month, or the next (though I think I missed O that time), and now here I am trying my 3rd month after nearly 3 months swaying. I relaxed the caloric restriction after a month on the diet bc I feared it was delaying O, and I also didn't have weight to lose (I was 105-110lbs, now around 118lbs at 5'7"ish).

I'm a little concerned about the weight gain as it's pretty much my highest weight ever, but I am usually at this weight at this time of year, and most of my past pregnancies were conceived while I was 'heavier', so maybe I need the extra weight. Like you I'm a long distance runner but have not been running recently, though I could probably pick it up again now that I've gained some weight. Then again, I don't think I've conceived before while running, only during breaks due to injuries.

I am definitely eating differently, and seeing results like a switch from 1-2 weeks of copious EWCM before to all creamy CM except for 1-2 days of minimal EWCM right before/at O. So I know the diet is doing something. Lots of us have had this effect from the diet, hopefully you will, too. Btw, I have also conceived while on BCP with no EWCM.

I sleep poorly and wake up at all different times and was shocked to discover that I could still temp and see a clear pattern. It really helps me to pinpoint O and better understand what's happening in my body. I highly recommend trying, even if you think you aren't a good candidate.

Currently I am waiting to O and literally expect to any moment. I was going to skip this month but late Wed night I decided I wanted to try and had my one BD attempt. I was pretty dry and I didn't have EWCM until the next day, at least 12 hours later, so I'm a little worried the sperm won't survive the requisite 48 hours. But after last month when I BDed 12 hours or so after O (accidentally), and the month before when it was 24 hours before O, I felt it was better to have sperm waiting in plenty of time this month. Fx my temp spikes tomorrow.

All these ladies saying they're heavy at 5'6-7" and under 120lbs are kind of freaking me out! I'm 5'6" and 136lbs and feel pretty dang thin. If I was any lighter I wouldn't have a butt or boobs. It's a healthy BMI for my height too. Are we aiming for UNDERweight? My pants are all falling off me at this point as it is!
