February 2WW

[eleena2014]

I wouldn't go back to eating late at night. I am not obsessing over this diet at all. When I first came to this site and started planning my sway I was terrible .I just wanted to get everything right , but now I am fine and have seen people getting opposites with a kitchen sink sway . So I just do what I can

tm, I thought I recognized your name! So very sorry for your loss. *hugs* I'm also sure my diet isn't as good as it could be given my food allergies and not liking to snack, but it is very different than with dd. Try something different and you might get different results, right? And honestly at this point I don't care about swaying so much as just getting preg, and the boy diet is good for that and I'm used to it now, so why not? FX this is a lucky cycle for you! And if not, don't dispair: I had two afs after my m/c and then a bfp which turned into my dd!

Taytum - My ppaf started out with a couple days of spotting. It could just be your body remembering how to af... or implantation? Your temps look good!

xx - Glad he's feeling better! Thanks for sharing your boy diet. I don't know how you could find so much time to spend in the kitchen and exercising, at least after you had the first to care for. Any child care tips? How did you find time to exercise? My dd attacks me when I lay down to do yoga or Pilates. And your chart looks awesome!

Junie - Thanks for sharing your diet, too! So maybe I need a vacation or to pretend it's the holiday season again? lol, that could be fun! We got snow last night, so a vacation is appealing.

So I need some snack help: What should I grab when I feel tired? I'm GF, so no granola bars. And no chocolate (gives me a headache). Nuts? I've been using them mainly and some fruit, trying to cut back on the potato chips. Any other suggestions?

I tried nightly grapefruit (eating a whole one right after I put dd to bed) during sparkle week this cycle, and I really liked it. I'm thinking I'll do more next cycle, more during the whole folicular phase and not just right before o. Anyone know if it's good or bad to eat during the lp?

Yeah, temp dive today. I'm expecting af tomorrow or later tonight unless there's a miracle.

Aw, hugs Sage! I hope AF stays away! One of my fav snacks was a handful of walnuts and raisins. Also about three stalks of celery cut into thirds, 1 TBSP of peanut or almond butter and a handful of raisins. I mixed the raisins into the peanut butter and scooped them up with the celery. Think of the childhood snack ants on a log. I also liked the pecan chips by blue diamond and a laughing cow spreadable cheese. I LOVE those lightly salted pecan chips...yum!

I worked third shift when DS1 was about 10mo until he was 2 and 1/2 so I worked out while he was at daycare before I went to work. When I was pregnant with DS2, DS1 did Yoga with me and still does. Actually, both of my boys love Yoga! I now workout at home with DVDs that the boys either enjoy doing with me or watching.

Do you workout at home? If you do and have an iPad, you could sit her up with it while you workout. PBS kids has an app with their programs on it for kids to watch.

You could see if there are any Gyms or Yoga places that offer a kids corner where they watch your kids while you workout in peace.

I'm just lucky that my boys like to workout with me. It's cute to watch them do the poses and lift weights. My 20mo old curls 3lbs weights at only 21.8lbs!

Good luck vegmom. Way too early for a BFP!!
XX are you out this month or still waiting? Would love to be sharing the next stage with you lovely ladies

Tm29 - that is exactly why I feel like is happening now! It's a dark brown now (which, maybe there's more of it now for me because it's a lot of left over from no period since October?). But no cramps and no other symptoms. It was pretty much nothing all day, just a small streak in pad and when I wiped, but tonight there seems to be more. But, still, no other symptoms of AF? So weird! I'll have to see what temp does tomorrow too. I woke up last night completely sweaty as well. I'll be interested to see what happens tomorrow!

XX - I don't normally workout at home, but I have an iPad I could ****** videos from and start! One of the places we go to workout has a yoga room, I've just never done it. And I can just imagine your cute little guy lifting weights! So cute!

Still waiting [emoji6]. AF is due on the 28th. I won't test though until either the 1st or 2nd of March. I'm excited to get to fast for Lent (we're catholic)- it will only help my sway and allow me to lose 3-8 more pounds. I should have 1.5 more cycles before Easter. We will see.

We may stop actively ttcing at the end of April but continue to not use protection. I'm getting tired of temping and using opks. I'm actually getting over trying all together. I'm getting closer to being done with the whole thing and find I am enjoying my boys more and more. I have finally reached the place where I am fine closing the door, and I'll know when to shut it for good. I am getting closer. DS2 was sick with a bad stomach virus and it was nice to devote all my time to him. If I were pregnant, I would have been in the throes of morning sickness and wouldn't have been able to give him all of myself. There is something to be said for that. At the same time I still have a feeling/awareness that there is someone I still haven't met yet. That feeling keeps me keep on keeping on. Maybe I'll flip a coin in a few months and leave the decision up to chance [emoji6]( this is something I NEVER would have considered before being on the girl diet for so long [emoji1]!)

Thanks for listening!

Xx af is due on the 29th for me . Approx 2 dpo and it's dragging.lol. its strange as I don't feel as excited about testing as I did last time. I'm just scared a miscarriage will happen again I suppose.

[Junie]

Eleena- The first week of the 2WW is always so long. I hope this is your last one for a long time!

XX- I'm glad you're still feeling so zen about the whole process!

Taytum- Your symptoms sounds very very positive to me!

Vegmom- Just 1 more day to wait now!

Sage- I hope your temp goes back up today! Our gym has childcare otherwise I go when DH comes home, gives me a surge of energy to tackle bedtime

Maiden- How are you doing? I guess I will know when I O'd when AF comes

I know once I get pregnant that I will go back to eating meat, and whatever I am in the mood for as I am basically not swaying anymore and that is what I am doing LOL. I did drop snacking for the most part though which I think is good.
