April 2WW

Congrats, smarston!!! Hope to join you soon!

seabeewife, I'm due to o on the 24th. We're cycle buddies!

Anyone have tender breasts before o? This is very unusual for me to have it now with o expected on Friday. It's normal to have it the whole 2ww, but why so far before o? I am trying abdominal fertility massage leading up to o this cycle, so I'm wondering if that's affecting my hormones. Also if I didn't mention it already, my temps stabilized when I added the wheatgrass back in this cycle.

I just had a HUGE temp dip this morning... no way I'm ovulating 3 days early!! Does RRL make you ovulate earlier usually?

Sage- 3 days till O! I'm glad your temps stabilized again. I think in general feeling lots of stuff throughout the cycle means your hormones are strong- hopefully that means a nice strong O for you!

Seabee- I bet it could affect your cycles a bit although I never had that from RRL.

I'm hoping for some nice CM this cycle. I haven't had any since the miscarriage and it would be a good sign for me that my body is going back to normal. I've read that soy can help so that would be great.

Looks like I did O yesterday according to my temps. All I changed was the RRL and folic acid. I haven't gotten my usual egg white to let me know a couple days ahead though. We ended up doing a lot more BD'ing than I planned during my fertile period which makes me nervous. But DH is leaving in a few days again for training, so I couldn't leave him high and dry.

Good luck see bee! Now the dreaded wait...
I am doing everything I can not to test in the next few days. 7dpo today and symptom spotting like crazy. I'm really going to try and sit it out until 12dpo. If it's bfn this month I think I'll have to wait another month to tt again because I have let myself eat less - nothing dramatic obviously just not so I'm stuffed all the time - and I wouldn't want to risk it. Oh I hope I hope I hope! 4 months on the HE is enough! But there are plenty of people who wait a lot longer than that I know. Going crazy!

[seabeewife]

Once I hit 7dpo I go nuts wanting to test. I'm the worst with symptom spotting! I hope you get your BFP this month! Ttc is so nerve wreaking!

[Junie]

Seabee- there are a lot of girl moms who did ED BDing so I think it doesn't automatically mean boy. I think if you were doing things like diet that that still plays a big role!

tm29- I have 2 boys and didn't spend all my time going around feeling stuffed LOL. I just grazed a lot and never felt hungry. I hope you get a BFP this cycle so it doesn't matter but if you don't I wouldn't wait !

[seabeewife]

I agree Junie, the diet and pH I feel is much more important for getting a girl. I miss snacking so much! That's my biggest change.

[XXforhubby]

I'm Xing everything and praying that you ladies get your much deserved BFPs!

Tm29- do not feel that you have to wait another month! You can keep right on TTCing! I too just grazed throughout the day and was never stuffed all the time! I was actively building muscle so I needed more calories, but I never exceeded 1800-2000 calories ever! On days I didn't exercise I ate more like 1500-1600 calories. I was buff but slender!

PLEASE those of you swaying blue, take my always on the go, and snugly with mama blue baby dust!

Thanks seebee, XX and junie - I really appreciate it. It's so helpful to hear what you all did to get your gorgeous boys. I'm really interested to hear 1800-2000 cals. Would you believe I have been eating around 3000 for 4 months! Since we Ttc I've taken it down to 2,500 and I have not eaten red meat EVERY day and I am a lot more comfortable. And I've enjoyed doing a whole hour of exercise not just 45 mins of mainly weights. I'm still snacking twice a day - but this is a really light sway in comparison with what I did in advance of our last bd marathon lol. XX I will take that whole truck of blue dust. I really want you all to have your little girls!!!! Fx like crazy. When should I test 12dpo?!
