Anyone swaying april/may?

Love that pic, GG! I took a break from testing pH but I think I'll bring out the Hanna again...I'm just kind of ready to be done w/swaying but I'll keep up the diet for a few more mos if I need to. Sending you lots of "Get your sway on" vibes!

P4P - OMG...You poor thing! So glad you're okay! Bwaaahhh, haaaaa, haaaaa..."Please don't toot on me". Too funny!

Thanks UmaJain! I love pin-up girls too. So you're still on supps and diet? I'm gonna start diet soon but get on the supps now and maybe actually start my attempt in July. We'll see. I ordered a bunch of opk and hpt cause Im not sure if I'm even ovulating yet.

Hmm, yesterday afternoon I went to check my pH because I havent in a few days and there was a tiny bit of blood in there...just a very tiny bit, but it never came out on my underwear or when I wiped! I dont know if thats good or bad!!

I forgot what timing did you use this month? Good luck though!!!

I THINK I ended up with a little over 24 hr cutoff!!! Eeeek! But my OPK just turned up almost positive at 6:00 in the afternoon that day and I dint want to miss out on this month so we went for it that night anyway! Im thinking from OPK's and CBFM tests it was 1-1.5 days. My period isnt due for around another week, so who knows...... Im 12dpo today. Didnt test today, luckily I had some things to occupy me and not sure if I will tomorrow because were going to pick vegetables and get them put up when we get home so Ill probably be too busy to think about it!

I don't really know what supplements there are that help make cycles more regular - what supplements are there please?

We are doing frequent release/BD this month with sylk, but we may not use sylk the last BD before our cut off as we have used sylk every month so far and no BFP so im wondering if this is affecting the sperm too much? What do you think? I am trying hard on the diet (although I 'fell off' and caved in to a magnum ice cream today - regretting it though!).
I so hope this is the month for a sticky BFP. My aim was to be pregnant by the baby we losts due date which would have been 30th May so this is my last try to achieve that aim. Im struggling in my head between swaying hard this month and just trying as much as possible to get pregnant, but then I do want our little girl so much - its a tough decision!
At the park today I saw a mother with three sons and they were having so much fun that it reinforced for me that three boys would be ok - not my perfect family, but lovely all the same and i would be grateful just being able to have a third child. My only problem is that a girl i met 5 years ago at my sons antenatal group became a good friend of mine and we both went on to have boys as second children. She knew that i was pregnant a third time and that i went on to miscarry and at christmas when she was almost 5 months pregnant she told me that she was pregnant with her third too but had hidden it from me as she hadnt wanted three kids and it happened accidentally. She is pregnant with a girl and due the same time as the baby that i miscarried! I am so jealous (it feels like she has my baby). Im happy for her that she is getting a girl after 2 boys but its so unfair - she hadn't wanted a third child, let alone swayed for months and months. Im finding it hard being around her. So as you can see this month is a real dilemma - try everything to get pregnant so im pregnant by 30th may when my baby would have been born and her little girl will be born, or keep trying to get our own little girl which may never happen or may not happen for many more months.

Sorry to pour out all my woes! The closer it gets to what would have been my due date and the closer it gets to seeing my friend have her baby girl the more down i feel about it all.

Well today has been tough - my friend i mentionned had her little girl this afternoon. I am very envious. I just need to hope my pregnancy is a sticky one so i can concentrate on that and hope its a healthy (pink) little one too.

How are you all doing today?

p4p-you are so strong not having tested yet-fingers crossed for you.

Well I ended up testing today! I had to buy some more test while I was at the store so I went ahead and tested when I got home....BFN! Im 13 dpo todays so Im thinking this wasnt our month. I havent felt like we got pregnant ever since our attempt, so it wouldnt be a surprse to me. My period usually starts the 5th but last month it came early on the 2nd instead so Im guessing m due anywhere between the 5th-2nd this month. Oh well, theres always next month........

Pickles - Sending you TONS of HUGS...I'm so, so sorry. That must be so difficult. I'm sending up good thoughts in hopes that you get your sweet girl this summer.

GG - Still doing the diet/supps and my sway is pretty good for the most part (see below, lol). Drinking tons of cran & peppermint tea, keeping w/the "low everything diet" and maintaining my weight (I lost 20+ last summer & now I've plateaued it seems). I really hope you get a sticky BFP on your next try! LOTS OF PINK DUST for you!

P4P - I've got my FX for you hoping that if not this round, it'll be next round for you. 3's a charm!!! HUGS!

I stopped my Vitex two days ago since we're now officially TTC..YAY! but . I'd been taking it every day for almost 6 weeks. I have no clue whether stopping it will push out my O or make it come sooner so we thought we'd just start BD and keep it going, lol! FF predicts that I'll O around the 1st but who knows...PPAF had just come back in March and adding/stopping Vitex really makes it difficult to gauge. Needless to say, we're using lots of SYLK and having fun but it sucks to not enjoy a nice O...

Right now, my biggest issue w/my sway is that I find it very difficult to prolong or skip breakfast. I'm doing what I can and hoping this month will be our BFP month so I can go back to eating my BFB (Big Fat Breakfast), lol!

I started my period this morning. Im not surprised to Im not TOO disappointed......oh well, you just try try again right!! And I started several days early again this month! I cant figure that one out! When I got my IUD out last year my periods were on the 2nd for a while then over the months theyve moved to the 3rd, then 4th and 5th. Theyve stayed pretty regular until the last 2 months. Heck its not even June yet and Im starting my June period! I think this month, Im changing from the Rephresh, I havent gotten pregnant with i yet. I may go to Replens and lime douche....I just hate having to keep watch on pH so much with those. But I like what one girl had posted on another forum, she feels its more important to keep pH low from the inside with food, CL and supplements instead of trying so hard from the outside after the sperm are already in there!

ARG! Sorry!

I agree w/what she said...just trust that the diet is working. I really do believe it's the biggest factor. If you start to worry too much about pH, timing, etc., testosterone will go up. Maybe your RepHresh is killing all the little guys. A switch in things may help! Really hoping 3's a charm for you!
