Pink swayers' September thread

[Mochagirl]

FF gave me my crosshairs this morning - 3dpo. I think I'm actually 1dpo based on cp and cm, but I'll go with FF's estimate since it means I can test sooner.

I'm pleased you're in the 2 ww, mocha! Please don't feel down, this was not a bad sway at all, I know it is not like previous months but those months you didn't get pregnant so you needed ti drop some things. What I'm trying to say is, maybe you did less this cycle but you still did enough to reduce your fertility and give yourself a good chance of getting a girl. lots of love, you should still feel good about this!!!!
Welcome lilmen!!! Gl with your sway, x

Thanks, swish. I know you're in a similar situation to me - I'm just not willing to TTC for a whole year, but at the same time I know for sure this is my last baby so I don't want to just throw caution to the wind. It's a hard balance.

{hugs} mocha. I agree it's a fine balance and obviously it's a different balance for everybody. You haven't done everything and then nothing, you've gradually dropped the things which will hopefully mean you get pregnant and you've kept the most important aspects. I think you have a great chance at a girl, just as good as anybody else around here!

How's it going with you swish, any sign of ovulating?

Welcome lilmen, I'll add your details!

Hi Girls!!!
Z- I seriously cannot get over how quickly you got pregnant! WOW! Oh and CONGRATULATIONS on reaching your goal weight! How awesome! So once AF stays away.....what will your first big yummy meal be? Or have you already eaten it?? I think I read that you were going to eat the LE diet for awhile until you felt comfortable coming off of it. When is your EDD?

Mocha- 3dpo!!! Squeeeee!!!!! Yippee! I can't wait for you to start testing! With your reading from IC and the baby dust spell I put on those tests before I sent them to you.....I REALLY hope that this month is it!

Swish- How are things going!? What cycle day are you on?

Happyheart and XX- I think you're both on the 2ww thread now, right? If so.....GOOD LUCK!!!!
And to everyone I missed! Good luck with your sways!!!!

Fingers crossed for you all!

AFM, I haven't been on here much other than to quickly look at the 2ww thread I feel like a big piece of poo. Morning sickness sucks the big one and I'm freakin exhausted all the time. I can't believe that I've packed on 4 lbs already.....ugh. I have a wedding to go to as well, in mid Oct....I'm sure I'll feel like a horse. Everyone asks if I'm pregnant already as I've been showing since 7 w!!!! I keep having horrible nightmares as well.....I dreamt that I had done IVF for our girl and when it came time for a scan, I went in to discover that there were 2 boys and a girl in there! I sobbed in my dream and my hubby had to wake me up It was terrible. Mocha.....was your m/s really bad with your twins? Mine is about the same as all the others which is making me feel better about everything. I don't know if I could handle having 2 at one time and it's scaring me to the point of getting a small scan in a months time if my uterus keep growing so rapidly. Although, 4th pregnancy could totally make this happen as well. I'm paranoid.....can you tell?

DM - sprry you're feeling so crappy. I did have pretty bad m/s with my twins, though at the time I didn't realise it was bad. I threw up twice a day - I got into a routine of drinking a big glass of water first thing in the morning, knowing that would make me throw up, then I could eat some breakfast. I also often gagged or threw up whenever I brushed my teeth. All of this stopped by the 2nd trimester. My doctor was willing to give me meds, but I felt like I had it under control, and I managed to never throw up at work (though there were a few times I felt like I had to). By my first scan at 11 weeks (when I found out I was having twins), I already had a little belly.

I also showed quite early with ds3, but I think it's because I was already so stretched out from carrying twins to term.

Ah, dm!!!! So nice to hear from you, sorry you're feeling rough but it is a good sign bub is doing well
I'm on cd 12 and no signs of ov yet, I wouldn't expect it until cd18 at the earliest, keep all your f and t x for me!! I bought a clear blue fertility monitor so I can get a more accurate picture of when I ov, I just didn't want the stress of maybe/maybe not! It was expensive but I figure I can sell it on after!
Z, hope you and bean are good
Everyone else I hope the 2 ww is not going too slowly! X

Hi DM, loving your ticker! Sorry you've been feeling crap though. 4lb is nothing - I could put that on in a weekend I WAS going to stay on the LE diet for the whole 2ww but that went right out the window! However, I feel so queasy that I don't really fancy anything - annoying eh? I've never had any morning sickness (lucky me!) but I felt sick literally the day after our attempt and I felt like I knew when the baby implanted because the sickness 'changed' and it's been there (and worse!) ever since. I wonder if it'll disappear and I'll have another ms free pregnancy or it'll only get worse?! I'm trying to keep hold of some of my good eating habits because I've never been that good for that long before - so I'm sticking to a light breakfast, only snacking on fruit and having a treat each evening after the kids have gone to bed (I still can't keep away from the tutti fruttis!). I hope I can remember to eat when I'm hungry in future and not all day every day and then maybe I won't weigh 2 stone more than my 6ft tall husband at the end of this pregnancy (what I state I got in!!). My EDD will, I think, be 28th May. I always fancied a Spring baby

DM and Z - from everything I've heard, having different pregnancy symptoms (like m/s) can be a good sign you're carrying a baby of a different gender this time around! I've asked lots of my friends with both genders and they all said the pregnancies felt very different from the start.

[swish]

I agree, everyone I know was MUCH more sick with their girls, I think it's a good sign
