TTC boy this summer... sway buddies?

[Sora]

Ah you're right I have but DH is not home so I can't do anything. Will maybe try in November. Maybe cause last check-up has shown I have put on way too much weight before and during the diet and I have to loose it all first. It won't do good to my health to add anymore pounds with a pregnancy. So... sad but no choice. I'm starting to think it will take til next summer, I suck at loosing weight. What about you Blue ? How are you ?

Oh bummer!

I had a big party planned last weekend so was quite busy and may be stressed.
opk didn't come up with solid smiley on CD14 at all on the day I expected it to be! Didn't test it before CD14 though! But had ewcm. So just went ahead with BD. As per FF I am ovulating today so have BD'ed yesterday and day before.

I have asked atomic in a different thread. But I remember when this happened to you she suggested you to BD around expected ovulation time and then BD again if you get positive opk later on right?

I have only one CB stick with me now. So will have to start using internet cheapies. But to be honest I am tired of testing so will just stop and BD based on my body symptoms as I am super regular.

Yes that's what I did to be sure. But I wonder if it helped since DH was tired in the end from all this BDs... I'm not sure for my part about stopping opks cause I'm super regular too, nailed ovulation for each of my pregnancies and it didn't get me a boy in the end... Oc each was a one attempt with very low frequency so I wasn't swaying blue anyway... But I'm too afraid of having a slight delay like the other time and ending up with one attempt and another DD2's scenario because I had my three attempts too soon. God I want that son ! So much has gone wrong in my life, especially these last few years... Can't I succeed in ONE little thing for once ?

I know it's annoying! I am already tired with 2 back to back attempts.

I hope we all get our boy baby's soon.

I have no advice Sora other than I understand and relate so hard to your statement. I hope you get your boy -- I hope we all get our boys!

Thank you Panther, how is it going with your pregnancy ?

Since I started going to Physical Therapy for the low back pain, much better. Unfortunately our (male) dog of roughly 9 years got a diagnosis of Stage IV cancer that completely came out of the blue for us, so I'm feeling like I'm losing a son all over again. I'm devastated that our baby will never meet him, and that my DD is truly all alone right now...

[Amel]

Hi,
Anyone is going to TTC this October? My name is Amel and I would like to have some support. We can exchange food intake, new recipes, OPK questions....I am new to the site, I joined a month ago. I have 2 beautiful girls 8 months and 4 years and I am doing my MBA online while waiting to see if I can get pregnant again at 36 years old. Cant go to my previous job Industrial Hygienist due to the exposure to chemicals. I will be a stay home mom for a little while and finish my MBA. I started with a weight of 32 pounds and now I am 38 and sometimes i see 40 pounds lol. I am sure I am at 38 pounds at least, so this diet is working. I am pleased to see that I am finally gaining a little pounds. My weight at my DD1 was 114 and tI think 118 DD2. I hope by gaining weight will help my sway. Hope someone will join this journey and help each others.

Amel : Hey welcome ! I may be trying end of October/start of November so we can support each other... I'm not sure pounds are the only thing that sway. Some mothers of boys I know are very thin and I'm way overweight so if pounds were the thing, I would have 2 boys, not 2 girls. It's more about nutrients and regular meals really. Did you post your sway somewhere ?

Panther : Oh dear, it's terrible. I know what it's like to loose an animal. I've lost almost all the cats that grew with me these last few years and it's so hard to see them go ! I told myself the same thing, they won't play with my girls ! One of the last to go had almost the same kind of problem than your dog. She was feeling a bit unwell, was treated for some digestive illness. But she didn't bounce back after that, she continued to waste away. She was more and more tired, slept at all times, ate less... I knew she was at her wit ends but I was still suprised... They did lots of tests and didn't find anything. Then suddenly a young student thought about looking her lungs although she was breathing just fine... And there it was : terminal lung cancer, all silent and unnoticed but there. Her lungs were basically ruined. Came out of the blue. They asked what to do and my grandmother told them to end it. I was still numb. In 48 hours the cat was gone and I couldn't speak to her one last time. I miss her a lot. Sometimes you wonder why they can't live a full human lifespan at your side.

Hi Sora,

Thank you for your reply. Yeah I have a sway body lol. Yes for me is mostly the nutrients. I used to eat one healthy meal and a lot of homemade soups, no breakfast just coffee or coffee with a cookie lol. Lunch was always around 3 or so but mostly leftovers/ soup or sometimes skipping it.
Dinner always healthy. Not eating salad a lots, no cokes or juices. I was maybe eating less than a 1200 calories.
I am following the 21- Meal plan Atomic sent me and I am stuffing myself. The hardest part was the nuts snack before meals. I take 1/2 c almond and I stay full. I just stay a little late to fit all the meals in.
I am excited that you are TTC this October and November. My ovulation starts the first week of every month around the 5th...... so hope we will stay in touch and each other . What do you mean by posting my sway somewhere?
