TTC Pink Chit Chat Thread - August

[swish]

Z, have you changed your plan? Tmi but def noticed less stuff when dh releasing every day. Dh also likes the owing it every day plan, i suggested every other day to increase chanes but dh rejected it ridiculously quickly!!
Dm, I'm a cancerian!! Ds1 is a July birthday and ds2 is may, I've always planned for both to be June babies so maybe I'll get a June baby!
Where are you in cycle, indira? Has change in diet made any difference for you?

[zanacal]

Yeah, I went off the spermicide condom idea because I read lots of people are allergic and they can cause yeast infections and UTIs. I'm sure they'd probably be fine but I don't want to risk it! We're going to have him release outside for a week and then DTD every day until I've ovulated and probably the day after that too

[Mochagirl]

That's pretty much what we did, Z - though we didn't bother to DTD the day after O because I'm fairly sure I O'd in the middle of the night on CD13 (while, actually I guess it was CD14 since it was after midnight), which made our last attempt within a few hours of O. By the next evening, I would have been far later than O+12, and there's no way my eggie could live that long. Besides, I was sooooooo sick of BD by then. Poor DH tried to put the moves on me the other night and I pretty much looked at him and said 'Are you kidding???'

[zanacal]

Lol, I don't blame you! We may not do it the day after O but if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday (which it very well may) then we could do it again the following morning ...

[zanacal]

Swish - if you didn't O last month are you still waiting to O now? Can you get AF if you haven't ovulated?

[Mochagirl]

I decided to request a sweetbabybump prediction too, just for fun. I'll let you know what she says!

[swish]

I'm waiting for af, I think yes you can get af even though you don't ovulate (from what I've read) certainly feel likes it's coming today or tomorrow

[Mochagirl]

I hope af comes soon so you can have a fresh start, swish. CD1 always feels like a clean slate to me.

[swish]

Me too! I'm honestly feeling so different about everything now, I feel all I'm missing is breakfast and other than that I'm so relaxed, something had to give, I just lost so much weight it wasn't healthy

I´m 5dpo but I think I´m out this month, I did more to lower changes of getting pregnant this cycle because I build up muscle hiking in the mountains on our holiday.
No, diet change didn´t really change a lot for me, I didn´t gain weight either.
In my wonkiest cycle (when I went down to 105) I O-ed on cd 20, then in July on cd 17 and in August on cd 16.
Now I think I finally gained a chilo maybe because DH is really worried and he makes me eat at dinner and feeds me chocolate in the evening, he seriously won´t DTD next cycle if I don´t gain some weight.
I have bloodworks scheduled next week, my thyroid meds might be too high at the moment, I´ll see.
Hope af arrives soon for you, so you can get things starting gain, fx!
Mocha, I guess we O-ed on the same day, we can test together next week!
