TTC BLUE in October?

Boysway and Midwest- updates?
Tm29- How did it go?

[Boysway]

I'm glad you were able to get your daughter in. When is her surgery scheduled for?

No updates from me as yet. Definitely possible symptoms though. Moody, cramps, sore bbs, getting hot followed closely by feeling light headed then queasy. I can feel my bp drop when these things happen. All symptoms for me. The moodiness is the worst though. I'm unpredictable. I honestly feel like I should be on meds.

It's just past 3 am, Thursday morning here. I'm planning on testing this Saturday. That's when I will be 12 dpo. The same as when I got the bfp with miss 4.

Hi Friends,
I want to join the group if possible! I swayed in winter 2013 and got pregnant the first try using HE- lots of ewcm, weight gain, and poof, pregnancy! Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. We have been preventing until now, so this will be our first month when my current cycle ends!

I am doing HE- averaging 100g protein, 2200+ cal, and high nutrient with a rainbow of fruit/veg each day. I take multi, fish oil, and fa. I want to do green tea, but it always delays O for me, so I try to drink it after O.

DH eats in general like me. I am trying to weight lift 3x week, but I injured myself recently! GRR!

I will use pre-seed and try to get 3x right around fertile time. Any other recommendations? I drink OJ and V8 everyday and get about 3500+ potassium a day.

I felt really strongly in my sway when I was pg last time and really felt like it was a boy. I do think it improved my fertility since we got pregnant the first month. It's been a long wait to get to this point.

What is the current recommendation on sodium? That is the main one I struggle to get.

Hi SpicyTunaSushi - welcome! I think Atomic just says eat salt to taste and don't worry about sodium. She thinks excessive sodium sways pink. Tell me anyone if I've got that wrong.

Jana and Adia - I had my very expensive scan with the fertility specialist. I am so relieved I could dance. I have no fertility issues - 'nice, young ovaries' in fact. The best compliment ever. Ever! I have been so scared! He thinks my AF will probably come back in the next couple of months of its own accord, but he recommended I take clomid to kick-start it so I don't suffer symptoms of low oestrogen any longer. He said I should not ttc after the clomid because of the likelihood of multiples. Instead I should let clomid provoke bleeding and then ttc the next month, with a natural ovulation. I said 'but I'm really longing to be pregnant' and he laughed and agreed to scan me after the clomid to make sure I haven't produced too many eggs, which he thinks I will. But if I haven't, I can ttc then.

So, if Atomic agrees with this idea, then it looks like I am on for October!!!!! So, so happy. And if not October, then November!

Boysway - the suspense is killing me too....

Jana- good luck to you and your daughter!!

I start my period Sunday and so far BFN's. Which i hope at this point stays that way. I definitely want to hold off as well!

TM and adia....i took Clomid the cycle i concieved (and had been trying on and off for 18 months in total) 50mg days 1-5 unmonitored at bedtime. Worked first go and the sups i was taking meant i had heaps of ewcm.

Good luck!!

Great to hear Princess of Pink and huge congrats on your news.

EWCM is the major issue. Do you know which supps/food helped you in particular?
I'm struggling to decide whether to take clomid ONLY to kick-start my cycle and then catch my natural ovulation the next month, or to take clomid to ttc right away. Part of me feels nervous that if I don't ttc right away I could end up needing to take clomid again anyway if my cycle doesn't ping back to life. But then the other part of me is concerned I haven't been on the diet/supps for long enough. I've done 5 weeks, so in any event I'd wait until I have 6 weeks under my belt (and spilling over my belt just a little) before I start the clomid.

Hmmm. Any thoughts? Hoping Atomic will have a strong view but it would be interesting to hear what you would all do in my situation. I'm 39 at the end of this month btw - so time not on my side...
