The LAZY Swayers

[atomic sagebrush]

So here is a weird thing that happened to me. I decided to try the rephresh for our practice bd attempt and it seems to work very well. pH was between 4 and 4.5 after BD. But...the whole shedding epithelial thing is so weird and I don't know if the "discharge" I am getting is from the leftover rephresh or if my good ole body decided to O super early this go round. I am feeling a little pinchy down in my ovary region. So long story short...I will be breaking out the OPK's early to make sure I don't miss my chance. Go figure!

Jellies, diet, and supps can disrupt/alter CM patterns, that's why i do like you guys to have the OPK on hand just in case! Good luck!!!

And sure enough AS...I got a definite positive on my OPK today at 2:30pm. I am going to take another one tonight just to be sure and then again tomorrow at 2:30pm. I know it could be a false surge but yesterday it wasn't as dark as the control line but it was SUPER close. I think if I get another positive tomorrow then I definitely am O'ing. The jelly is just messing me up big time b/c I can't use my CM as a predictor and I don't temp or use CP. I will KUP!

not in that quanity ;-0 oppps
ps atomic do yoyu recomend not dark thats what i would usually have but guess its to good for you?

White and milk chocolate are allowed on LE Diet.

Dark choc is too high in antioxidants and may sway blue.

I need a snackers support group. lol

how are those OPKs coming?

[Praying4Pink]

Hey Christa! I LOVE some dark chocolate, lol. I resisted the urge this month (Yah!)

OPK's are coming along good. Strong +'s on Tuesday and Wednesday and - today so....hopefully I O'd or will be soon! I still have EWCM which I thought dries up after you O. Maybe we should squeeze one attempt in? How is everything coming along with you? Oh yeah...I can probably stop my supplements now since O has indeed been confirmed right?

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, stop vitex, SP and antihistamine, everything else should be continued.

For future reference you should actually stop V and SP the day before you expect O because they can delay O if you don't, and then antihistamines should be stopped before O (unless you have a ton of EWCM and are doing one attempt on O day only) because the egg and the fertilized egg both need ample fluids to keep them alive and well and enable them to make it into the uterus to implant safely.

Not on any supps anymore...nothing. Just not eating red meat, potatoes or tomatoes...body got messed up from the dieting. lol...just trying to get pregnant at this point.

I found rephreash and replens at my local walgreens today. I almost bought it but I wasn't sure which way is better? I know there is an article on it...i just need to read it again. lol I am gearing up to O as my CP is changing and i'm getting more creamy Cm. My diet is going okay, its so much easier for me to follow when my hubby isn't around. He always brings me something to eat or snack on (I weigh 100). Its so hard to say no. HAHA I have been good on way less salt, no potatoes for me, bananas. I'm trying to cut back on my 16month old's nursing habbits, I got him down to 2 nursing sessions a day and as needed at night, which seems to be getting less and less.

praying4- how many dpo are you?

Happymedium- I understand about the supps. I quit taking mine as well. I'm like you and cutting the salt, potatoes and red meat as that was my diet when I had my boys. how long have you been TTC your girl?

RepHresh is better! That is what I used to conceive my last two pregnancies. I used it with Sylk. So I used it 8 hours before BD and then SYLK during BD.
