Pink swayers' December thread

[Out of the Blue]

Well ladies, i broke down and tested today and it was a BFN

I'm only 10 dpo, so not totally discouraged, although now all my symptoms have vanished, but sore boobs, but i always get sore boobs either before preg or AF so that is no help whatsoever!

Auroara, 10 days is super early still...I think you may be happily surprised this weekend!

BTW, your posts make me laugh too! Sounds like your DH and my DH are quite similar, lol.

jen-out of curiousity, why are you doing low sugar? i usually eat so low sugar, on the le diet i have eaten so much more sugar and simple carbs than my whole adult life combined! i think i am thinking 1.it is different than what i am used to 2. it will drop my blood sugar drastically 3. a lot of girl moms i know eat like this!

Here's the thing...Sugar is really a girl swayers BFF...Lots of empty cals and drops those blood sugar levels nice and low!!! I've been avoiding it though for the most part for a few reasons...

1.) Last year, I completely overhauled my diet and was a super health freak. Among other things, I wouldn't touch sugar b/c it supresses the immune system, promotes inflammation, surpresses the release of human growth hormone (making you age much quicker) & unnecessarily raising insulin levels. I just hate to add it back into my diet now if I can somehow avoid it.

2.) After my m/c, I have come to rethink my personal sway...I want healthier eggies and sugar doesn't help.

Sugar is something that is very beneficial and effective in a girl sway, especially if you're only incorporating increased levels for a few mos. I say USE IT!!! I started adding a bit of sugar into my diet a few nights ago (YAY for candy canes!!!) I won't be doing too much of it or the fake sugars though. I do use stevia sometimes if I really need something sweet however it does sway boy. Oh, well...

Had to swap my working days this week so haven't been around much. We had DS1's nativity on Monday. He was a King(he wanted to be a pirate but I had to break it to him that was not possible!) and they did so well. My boys are also 2008 and 2010 so looks like the perfect age gap to me!! DS1 is January and DS2 is March and they are both VERY different!

I am 5DPO and feeling a bit crampy today. I think I feel more positive this month than before but can't help feeling that I want it over by Christmas so I can eat real food again at my leisure!

YAY!!! 6dpo now!

Yep! Looks like a few of us in this thread are on the same kiddo plan…DS1 – 4/08 and DS2 – 2/10 (A Valentines baby ) We wanted our little 3/12 bundle but it just wasn’t meant to be. Can’t wait to see what little soul comes along next. S/he will be our caboose, even though we’d love 4 (especially 2 boys, 2 girls). We’ll just be happy w/a 3rd healthy LO honestly! If he’s a boy, GD will just have to disappear, lol. That would be really cool if we all got our 2012 girls the same month!!!

DS1’s nativity sounded really sweet, especially how he was deflated when told he couldn’t be a pirate! Boys are so cute that way…

Have a great time in France! Whenever I’m there, I just have a nice, long morning stroll, going from pastry shop to pastry shop...No joke! Don’t get me started on the cheese! I feel the weight gain just thinking about it!

We took a break from BD last night...Our whole family is sick (DS1 - double ear infection, DS2 ear infection, DH - lost his voice w/bad cold and possible ear infection). I'm okay, though. I just have a scratchy thoat and a bit of a cough. Also we just found out one of our friends has less than 6 mos to live. He's been sick for a while but we've all been trying to stay positive that he could win this battle. Looks pretty bad unfortunately. With all of that going on, we just weren't in the mood. As I'm typing this, I'm really hoping that DH remembered to do a release in the shower this a.m....YIKES!!! I didn't use any RepHresh again today but will squirt what will hopefully be a half tube in tomorrow a.m. The plan is to resume DTD for a few more days. Come on, O!!! Hope I've got a nice, healthy eggie this time!!!


Sorry for all the post bombs above!

Jen & Mocha, I am so hoping we all get our BFPs so we can be due date buddies!! Yay woudln't that be awesome!

I've stayed strong and not tested, yay for waiting until Saturday!! Hopefully a nice suprise Sat morning and that will just make the weekend so exciting!

Hubby has worse timing on matters...when I ovulate I have to cattle herd him into the bedroom, seriously, it's tough to pin him down! When I'm totally not interested, he's all like 'cmon, you know you want to...' yesterday when we were in the kitchen he lowered his tighty whiteys and flashed me....I like, really? Our 4 year son could've walked into the kitchen and seen him do that, LOL....some men....

Then last night after the kiddos were down to bed, we watched "Decoded" on History chanel and I was really into watching it until suddenly my eyes got so heavy, I mean I could not hold them open, and I fell asleep super early (for me) at like 10:30...the last few nites I cannot make it past 10 pm! So maybe this is a good sign?? I've slept from 10:30 pm until 7 am this morning and I feel like I got like 3 hours or sleep or something, I am so tired and can't stop thinking of my bed...this is the most promising sign yet!

And big GRATS to Zan!!! Whoo hoooooooo!

times 100!!! DH is the same way...Mr. Hands ALL THE TIME until it's FR time...Then it's him who's hiding from me!

Ohhhh...could be an early sign for sure, Auroara!!!!

Lol, my DH thinks it's funny to do that - but it reminds me of my children who also think it's funny to get their willy out at any given opportunity! Last night we were doing exercises before bed (DS2 had some major energy to burn so I was getting them to do star jumps and press ups!) and we were having great fun and laughing lots - and then I realised they were laughing so much because they both had their willies poking out. Honestly!

Ok ladies I got my +OPK this morning... We dtd last night...I really wasn't expecting to O until Saturday but it came early...I am not really sure how it all works because I only have one tube, but I hope I am really Ovulating....Let the 2ww start!!!

[Out of the Blue]

WOOOOOOHOOOOO, Ladybug!!! Hope your wait is short and your BFP comes speedily!

My DH does the randomly getting the willy out thing to (I'm talking in the middle of the kitchen at 3pm when he gets home from work and every other time of day). We got married really young and we are still pretty young so I kept thinking it was just because he is young and that men must out grow that at some point but the more I talk to other women it seems that it never happens. We are working to potty train DS1 (he is 3.5 but has a developmental delay) and he loves to hold his hands out to his sides and see all the ways it can spray (wonderful huh?) and DS2 grabs his every chance he gets and laughs.
