TTC Pink March 2014

CD 1 for me today! I swear, I've never been so happy to see AF. Countdown to my first (and hopefully only) attempt begins

dreamingofwin, you'll be fine. I'd chalk it up to a cheat day (which we're SUPPOSED to occasionally have) and just try to buckle down for the rest of the cycle. Relax, breathe, and be sure to skip breakfast! LOL!

I'm totally dreaming of my BFP victory meal, as well. Steak and chips sound amazing, but I'm specifically fantasizing about a Brazilian steakhouse near us that is an HE jackpot. Seriously, you pay an entrance fee and it's all you can eat. The servers walk around with gigantic slab of meat or bundles of sausages and you flag them down so they can slice some off for you. I think I ate the equivalent of two pounds of meat the last time I was there, in addition to these amazing cheesy butter rolls that were lighter than air, and a chocolate-cinnamon dessert mousse.

Yeah, I need to stop thinking about it. I'm drooling now.

Yeah for cd1!!

Gutted as the foods that I miss are banned in preg anyway! Pate, rare steak etc... So it'll be a looong time before i enjoy those again!

I am cd12 today. Expected a pos opk but still getting v faint lines. Has le put back anyone else's ov? Gutted as its my birthday on Sat and I fully expected yo have ov'd by then as we're booked into a hotel for the night with lots of forbidden foods add a full fried breakfast...god help me if I ov this weekend...hurry up please!!

I've struggled today. Missing food and generally fed up. Had moments of stopping this diet and just dtd daily but then I remember why I am doing it. I am truly fed up though x

I had 3000 calories on Saturday and Sunday if that makes anyone feel any better. You will not ruin anything by having one or two days a week where you eat more

Our last attempt was on Friday. I am fed up of BFNs and no AF so this was our last shot at a 2014 baby. Once I get past the point where I could be PG, and if I have no AF I am considering vitex or going to the docs to get something. I will be here cheering you all on though

[stephk]

Dreaming - enjoy your birthday and eat what you want, one day will not ruin anything x

[stephk]

Another BFN and still no AF I feel like my body is taunting me. Last week I had EWCM from weds- sat and cramping like AF from thur- sun so we got an attempt in on Friday just in case. Our last attempt for a while I need a break. Because now there's still 2 weeks worth of hope and when these last hopes are dashed at least there won't be any other chance I could be PG which leaves me free to try to do something about the lack of AF. Who would have thought the day would come when we wanted it to come!!

Hey dreamingforwin me too!! I was cycle day 14 -17 before le diet now ov cycle day 22 and 25 atomic said this was normal maternal condotion declining etc deft. Noticed less ewm.
I hear you stephk and dreamingofwin I too am fed up so so tired and weak at the moment pathetic!! Atomic has told me to up my fat intake which I am gladly doing praying for a bfp this month!! Has anyone given themselves a cut off date? I am not doing excersize or refresh or vitex so can't even drop those things! Im thinking maybe 6mths max I think that's way long enough on this diet but we will see Hugs to all xxxx

Glad to hear that. Its crap as I want my pos opk now! I only have creamy cm too. So nervous about my attempt/ov this weekend but want to enjoy it so tough! I know if I get a boy id blame it on that though...

Not thought about only staying on it so long to be honest. My mum is already concerned and called me a pencil this weekend. If only she knew!

I may stop depending on what comes back from gyne regarding my short lp. Also my son will be 2 yrs 10 months if wewhen its born get pg this cycle. I think once it gets to him being 3yrs plus ill get desperate x

[stephk]

Gosh I hadnt thought of a cut off either but you make a good point. I have been on the diet for over 4 months now. I was an exerciser anyway but stepped up to 6 days a week since I came back to work at the beginning of october. I am trying my best to maintain my weight and not lose any more, especially now we are taking a break from TTC for 6-ish weeks. I love exercise and am happy to continue with that. Also the way I do the diet is perfectly acceptable and I could easily continue. I dont do anything else so cant drop anything. In 2 weeks time if no AF and no BFP then I am thinking of trying vitex to bring on a period and will also go to the doctor to see if they can give me anything.

I fully blame this on BCP and completely regret going back on it after DS was born I wont ever be going back on it again thats for sure!

dreaming - honestly if you have been good on the diet for ages, one weekend off is not going to get you a boy but worrying about it will (easier said than done I know!!) - I cheat every weekend and sometimes yes I do think if I was to O on a sunday night or monday morning after all the eating, what would happen but then I would be so annoyed at myself if I didnt eat nicely at the weekend and no O so I would rather just eat. Also - the cheat might actually bring on O which is a good thing. Please enjoy your birthday, you deserve it and I am sure atomic would order you to cheat if she knew

totally with you on the age gap, and it doesnt help that my DH keeps going on about it either, we are not getting any yonger, DS is going to be too much older than the next baby blah blah blah shut up!

stephk, what CD are you on?

Sometimes I wonder about the testing and how it relates to gender. With both boys, I got a faint BFP on 8DPO, and I've talked to lots of ladies who have gotten their BFPs with girls much closer to AF's due date, so I tend to wonder if gender has anything to do with when you get your BFP? Maybe this is me being crazy. I just know that I won't believe a BFN until a couple of days past when AF is due, even though I bought some super sensitive IC's that are FRER equivalents.

[dreamingofwin]

No bfp until 14dpo with my boy so not sure I believe that x
