How is your sway coming along? Be good to share where we are at!

Hi this is our 1st month TTC I'm on cycle day 7 so it's my fertile window next week. I'm not temping as think it will just stress me out too much! So I'm going by CM and DTD every 4 days. Im on the LE diet as swaying pink. I've lost 32lbs slowly over a year by cutting down on calories but only cut out meat last month (for hard sway now) as I find it hard not to have it with my main meals but I'm being more disappointed now the time has come to TTC.
I never realised how much of a snacker I was until this diet! It's so hard not to! But I am being strong about the food. It's my main sway technique as not using antihistamines, aspirin, cranberry or anything else to make my CM dry (I need to see what stages my CM is). I will be J&D after DTD tho. I hope it's all enough for a pink sway but who knows until a BFP and after...

Hey! Good idea for a thread : ) I would love to have a DD next time around. DS is 2 at the end of this year and we have been swaying/TTC for the last 3 months. Initially started out using Rephresh, zirtek and saw palmetto although have now dropped all of these in favour of a more simplified sway. Dietwise I know mine isn't perfect, in fact its far from it tbh. I am still eating meat (although have cut down on red meat and portion sizes of meat generally). I do skip/delay breakfast resulting in a 16 hour fast. I have also cut out snacks totally (was definitely a snacker prior to having my son!). I have also introduced diet cola and sweetener to my diet. Since doing this I have dropped around 18lbs. I am trying to hold steady now as I am only 109lbs at 5foot5 so am aware that I am at the lowest point of a healthy BMI. Just hoping I haven't dropped so much weight that its effecting ovulation. We have been DTD every 4 days although hubby is getting frustrated with this attempt method and is insisting on every other day this month, arrgh! Part of me is tempted to just go with the flow and what will be will be, so will probably end up DTD every 2-3 days this cycle (currently on CD12). x

Have you thought about using a condom right around O so that you only have one attempt? That is my plan as DH and I would be frustrated having to stick with every 4 days for possibly months on end

My DH would never go for only BD every 4 days. We use pull out every day other than attempt day. I know pull out isn't as good as not BD at all, but DH is extremely cranky after 6 months of this and I will do whatever I have to in order to keep him on board!

He wants to crack on and have baby number 2! He's not keen on a massive age gap and each month that goes by the bigger the age gap gets. He knows I would like a girl but just doesn't understand my want for a girl. Guess my disappointment each month I get a negative test doesn't help ��

I know how you feel, I too am tempted to try this month but I really think 3 months matters.

[maidentomother]

Popple, maybe try BDing every 3 days? Still pretty pink but higher odds of conception and will make hubby happier.

I still have a positive OPK this morning, had it for 24 hours, wish it would go away so can move away from temptation lol! One more month could make all the difference! Fingers crossed!
