Great stuff, you will get preggers hon so dont think otherwise. Well I'm crushed, just had Alestis look at my 7wk scan & she's predicted GIRL for me...

Whose Alestis?

[TTC5]

Hi Aleaxis,
how much soy did ya take and what days?
i took 160 mg day3-7 and it delayed my O to cd50. on the brighter side i had loads of ewcm and also got a bfp which unfortunately resulted in a m/c.....I do have long cycles to begin with....so soy is risky business....so dropped it...

this cycle i am not seeing any ewcm...let alone any mucus for that sake.....am on cd 17 already and no +ves....
wonder when i will O... i usually get good cm....what is drying me up...no hange in supps
does anyone know how to shorten cycles or get an early O....my cycles range around 40-42 days.....

are you taking mucinex?

Kris - What a great friend! And how fun if the kids had the same dad! Lmao at the thought of Sarah with the light and speculum.

Layla - I hear ya on the birthday thing, I'm not real thrilled about this baby coming 3 wks before dd1's birthday. If I hadn't gotten the bfp we were going to skip a few months to avoid other birthdays.

Lola - Congrats on getting back to the yoga. I'm sure there was a bit of self protection going on while baby cuddling but fear not hun, you'll get your baby

Baby - don't give up hope yet, what's that guess based on?

My bff is due in a few days and has asked me to join them in the delivery room. I'll be there basically to keep her dh from freaking out, run interference between them and family and take lots of pics. My sister did the same thing for me and it was amazing, we got to focus on the task at hand without any distractions. Glad to be doing this pregnant, a few months ago I don't think I could have handled it. Doesn't hurt that they are having a girl either lol

How exciting! I saw my first birth this year it is am,azing!!!

Well I got my Smiley face on CD14(Sunday) so That is month 2 of O'ing on CD14. I was a little nervous, I had all the proper symtoms but my fade in was just really light then it was from the month before. But it all worked out. I got my smiley at 12:30PM! I am so excited! Just have to get throught next month then I start the diet and we finally get to TTC!! I am so excited!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We got a new puppy! We named her Kylee! She is cute!

That is fantastic you O so regular like that will make ttc your boy so much easier!

[TTC5]

Thanx Lola, i've not been on much since going on vacay. Good to hear from you as well. I'm on CD14 today. I had positive OPK's on CD12 & CD13. I had a+opk yesterday during the afternoon yesterday (CD13) but - opk at 11:30 last night. So we are done for this cycle. We DTD twice on CD12 am and pm but none last night since I fell asleep. MY CM hasn't been good since the a.m. of CD12 so I'm feeling OK about this month but I think we s/h DTD last night. Whatever, I really don't expect to get a BFP now.

Meds for thyroid seem so be helping since I've had 2 good months of cycles in a row and I was only having a good cycle every other month. I'm totally chill on the swaying, now although, I think I've gone too far the other way now and I'm trying but I don't feel like I'm "swaying" much anymore and I did drink this weekend. Not crazy but I did. We had a fantastic weekend celebrating my DH's 36th b-day and the 4th of July. In 6 weeks or so I'll go back in for another thyroid test to check if I need to go higher or lower on the meds or i'm good to go now. I'm just happy my cycles seem to be back on track again. I feel like it's killed a lot of good baby making months.

So I guess I missed your update. I thought it was Begonia who did an attempt this month but wasn't thrilled w/ her timing and I was teasing her about it but now I think that might have been you??? Was it a BFN last attempt? I think our attempts are close to each other. IDK.

FX for you!!! So your now in the tww yeah?

Thank you babydes. I did not O yesterday I got my period LOL. Sounds like I definitely need more time to work out what i am doing I don't even know when my cylce is (granted it was a bit early but still). What do you think is enough time? I am in my late 30s though. It took a while to get DD2 because of m/cs and if I get to over 40 my chances of another DD increase dramatically. Also I have had high cholestorol in the past. Never high blood pressure which is good but it does run in the family. So I am really not happy about being on this diet for too long. Also if we skip this cycle and next cycle we will be too close to DD2's birthday. I think it would be nice for both kids to have separate birthdays. Thanks again for your advice.

What is it about the diet u struggle w/? I struggle w/ eating all the time and eating breakfast but I the 9 servings and high everything is good for you. I've always eaten full fat dairy so I'm good w/ that. I'm 35. are you asking how many months your should track your cycles before attempting? I still don't have it down, although, it s/b better now that w/ the help of the girls here I went in to the Dr. after having twice where AF was w/in a short period of time that my thyroid was off and things are getting better now on meds. I was a wreck when I was expecting O and ended up w/ AF instead.
I thought I've read tracking for 3 months before to track BBt and get to know your body's signals. I just started tracking my BBT this month. My DD's have b-day 3 days apart and it works fine, but there is a 9 year age difference between them.
So if I read your question right, I would say that from my reading 3 months of tracking is good and getting to know how your body changes near O w/ CM and CP and everything would help.
Sorry I'm a bit off today so I could have this all wrong.

Hey lady, thanks for asking! I did lose some weight, not sure how much, but I feel better. DH and I started yoga again, doing 2x a week, and I can already see some muscle coming back. Not to mention, I told my yoga instructor that we are having issues ttc and she said yoga is excellent for that, gets the blood pumping in your pelvis and all over. I do remember being super fertile and had girls when doing a lot of yoga back in the day. We are now on diet again, and I think I may start some acv and such soon. UGHHHHHHHHH but not much else. We will likely do some boy stuff when we dtd (preseed, position, etc) but I am just so worn out with ttc and m/c stuff that I am not as in to it as I wish I was.

I just held my friend's 2 month old baby boy for an hour up in my office while she took ballet class and I thought I would be DYING over it, but right now, I just feel whatever. Clearly I am being self-protective here, telling myself I don't really care if I have a baby or not, subconsciously.

Anyway, I hope you are right, Babydes, and the luck keeps rolling. Blue crew had a big dry spell there!!!! I am SO glad you are doing well and baby is plugging right along!

I'm feeling the same way I think Lola. I haven't been doing this too long and after the 1st BFN then w/ my cycles all jacked, I doubt I'll ever get pregnant again and haven't been as good as I used to be w/ the diet and stuff. I even drank and stuff this weekend since it probably won't matter anyway. I'm sure I'll move past it, just a lot going on in life I guess.

[iluvmyman]

I think I'm out ladies. AF is due tomorrow and got a BFN today along with my temps dropping Just ready for this next cycle and trying to get my cm worked out to boy friendly. Didn't get the gorgeous ewcm this time. Could it have been the soy? I was really hoping I could take it to get twins.

sorry, alexis.

[iluvmyman]

Great stuff, you will get preggers hon so dont think otherwise. Well I'm crushed, just had Alestis look at my 7wk scan & she's predicted GIRL for me...

Hmmmmm, I wouldn't throw all your eggs into that basket baby. Bummer though!

awesome on the cycles. I had a fantastic weekend and didn't have to work today either, so I'm doing nothing. DD1 is trying to talk us into a puppy for her 16th b-day. I'd love to, but it just won't work for us right now. Did you have great weekend?
