April/May/June 14 swayers...

[hotdogz&boyz]

I'd do the first attempt around finals. I think it would less directly affect any sway (if at all). Being relaxed on vacation would be great, but if you can't stick to diet (who would want to!!), I'd go with the earlier attempt. I wouldn't push anything off either, your sway is strong and over the next two months, you'll be making it second nature, so I bet you won't be thinking much about it at finals time.

I am facing a similar decision though, so I know it tough to decide! We either try in late-June (but I don't really want a Feb baby, I deliver 3ish weeks early) or in late-July (after a trip in early-July where I absolutely won't do diet). I haven't decided yet. But I'll have to think about it soon enough.

hi girls,
can't believe those ovulation tests are so hard to work with Why can't they make them a bit more user friendly. I haven't even started any test runs with them yet I was just going to use them for my attempt Looks like it'll be very confusing!
Rosie I love your cheat Go girl!! Hope you're feeling a bit better. I'm craving all sorts at the moment cause af is due Thursday Half of me is tempted to have an attempt in March (month earlier than planned) Be nearly ten weeks on diet, six on supplements. I'm 38 now so might be a few months at least trying (hopefully not!)

marriedmom I would probably go with the first cycle in May as it's probably when you will be most strict in diet etc but you will have to try and not stress out too much about testing and maybe put it out of your mind until after your finals You don't need anymore stress!
hotdogz, why do you not want a Feb baby?

Hi girls, I'm also going on a trip May 11-21 and know for sure I won't stick to the diet. We are attempting in April but if that doesn't take, should we wait until June?

hotdogz I would go for the feb baby! I would love one myself and I may end up with one too if I don't get first attempt.

I am feeling better today and I strongly suspect it was my cheat yesterday that did it! haha. I can't believe I am going to be on this diet a minimum of 16 weeks, praying my first attempt works!

I am thinking my true +OPK was CD 29. I used 2 OPK's today. You pretty much need to squint to see the OPK test line Let's hope I O for real this time.

I dunno why I don't want a Feb baby. I'm just weird. Lol. I've been considering it though. I just tend to be a tad depressed both at the end of pregnancy and at the doldrums of winter, so that seems like a double whammy in February. But who knows, maybe expecting a baby will make it less painful instead of more? I guess if I plan to try in late June I DO fit in here And I also better consider moving my dieting up. Maybe start in early April. I think I'll be okay with early-April through late-June for diet. It would be close to 2.5 months, I think. 10ish weeks sounds like plenty! I'm already trying to maintain slow weight loss, since even though I'm not on the LE diet, I figure steadily losing weight without moderate/weight bearing exercise has got to sway girl in some regard. I've been losing pretty steadily since October. And even before that if you count the weight I shed from carrying my daughter. So I'll prolly aim to continue that trend and then add diet for a bit of a boost toward those last months. Although I need to be on my meds before I start that side of things.

Oh...and just buy the digi OPKs. Kinda expensive (if you have a flex spending for health products, you can use the money in there for them), but SOOOOOO worth it in terms of ease of use. I hate the line ones. Too much squinting and judgement. Smiley means you are ovulating, empty circle means not. Easy peasy.

Yes, I will be investing in digital OPK's next pay day.

dreamingofpink, it's hard to know exactly what to do with regards attempt dates. I do see a lot of girls get their girls when they have relaxed a bit towards the end of their sway but I suppose it doesn't always work that way does it. I think it probably depends mostly on how long you have been on le diet etc. So yes I think have your attempt in April and again in June.
Rosie glad you're feeling better. It's amazing what some good old fatty food can do! We should probably all do that more often.
boysway I'm with you definitely going to invest in digi opks!
Was calculating my dates and have decided that I will wait until April for first attempt. I think March is rushing it a bit. Only started diet more strictly since start of Feb, it was more loose in Jan. I so hope and pray that we all get our bfp at first go

Thanks daisy and Rosie! I am going by target today after work, I think I am going to buy some opk's from there. So far on the diet I have given up breakfast, cereal, and red meat. I am drinking one crystal light/water in the morning after coffee. I think I am doing pretty well. No cereal for a few days is great for me. I will start my folic acid probably today after I go by Target, but I stopped taking my multi-vitamins a few weeks ago.
How well are you ladies doing?
Oh and I had dream last night that I got pregnant before I was full into sway mode and it was twin girls!! Praying that comes true, the twin girl part
