Hey ladies

Just popping back on here to nosy and see how you are getting on! After spending months with you ladies I want to see some more bfp's this cycle!! xx

Hi dreaming! I found you through a Diclofenac search...are you still taking it? And did you get pg while taking it? I'm taking it and now wondering if it is making me infertile

Eta- I just saw your sway thread!! CONGRATS!!!!!! )

Suzie - It seems a lot of ladies here don't count sodium. First week of LE I tried to limit sodium but then I realized that it is impossible for me to stay relaxed when having to monitor everything so I just stopped counting it. I am trying to think that I can't include every single sway factor in my sway without becoming crazy, so I just pick the ones that work for me.

About sushi - I LOVE IT! Used to have it at least 2-3 times a week but no I try to have it only occasionaly. Sometimes I have it veggie and then I don't even consider it a cheat. And even with fish and shellfish I wouldn't consider it a major cheat.

Stephk - I hope you get a fantastic HOLIDAY! Sounds so fantastic! Enjoy all your good meals and drinks!

Whew! Just read through this entire thread.....can I jump in?

I started a pink sway this month (CD 21 today) but sorta halted the sway 5 days ago...I was having a back spasm and couldn't dtd anymore and I kind of chickened out....

So if it was on schedule, I O'd yesterday. But I honestly can't tell this month. I usually have painful Oing. I have been taking supplements which I stopped since I think it was going to or has delayed O. No more supplements for me.

My last sway "worked", or I just got lucky so I plan to do the same. So basically I'm waiting for AF (due in 6 days) so I can ttc this month.

Can someone please tell me what the heck you're talking about with every 4 days?? Testing with opks? dtd?.....because that goes completely against all the info I've read over the years. And that's exactly how I got 3 boys! My girls were conceived with FR. so confused......

Anyways, just wanted to say Hi! Nice to "meet" you all! FX for a ton of BFPs this cycle!!!!

Hi fivebabies! Welcome

There's been most success at pink sways with the one attempt at +opk. An alternative method is to bd every 4 days so you get the one attempt in during your fertile window. It's just a different way if achieving the same thing but maybe with less pressure or confusion over whether you've got a positive opk.

Hope that helps.

Good luck this month.

Have a great holiday Stephk! Enjoy that food!!!

Welcome fivebabies! I second what looby said

Bethwade I was only on it for about a month and yes I do think it contributed to infertility but a bit too far. I had zero cm in fact it was like a dessert! The leaflet does say it shouldn't be taken if ttc or pg. I looked online and found it can contribute to people struggling so I stopped it asap x

[stephk]

Diclofenac, neurofen etc are anti inflammatories and they are not safe in pregnancy, that's why you shouldn't have when TTC. Also your body needs to be a bit inflamed to ovulate if that makes sense

I have them for RSI but not taking them at the mo
