Please review my temporary possibly permanant sway plan

[kitkat18]

Well done marriedmomof2 !! That's great news good trickey too bless them. I do the peppermint tea for lowering testosterone AF till O I love it so three strong cups is no problems for me could try that? Stephk your poor little boy how is he and how old is he by the way? Just got my BFN well it would be if I tested spotting two days before AF is my normal. Feeling okay just keep telling myself its bound to take longer declining maternal health etc just worried I will lose ovulation my cycles are getting longer and longer and I'm still losing weight although I have upped fat intake and stopped obsessing over my fitness pal! Sorry if that was alot kinda hijacked thread... Just don't have anyone else to talk too xxxxx

Hey kitkat, he is 18 months so a good age to get it - I am glad he is getting it out of the way now. I had it about 6 years ago and it was a month of hell. He has had injections for measles, mumps etc so hopefully he will be OK now apart from the permanent colds we constantly get from germ sharing at nursery!

Sorry to hear you are out kitkat but maybe you are not if its just spotting? Not that I am an expert on these things. I am envious if you are getting AF but at least I only have to wait a week now to take vitex or whatever to bring somthing on (hopefully).

Just on the pep tea, that might be the culprit messing up your cycles? I dont want to tell you how to do things and it might not be doing anything at all but I know that it has the potential to mess up your cycles. I drank it last year before starting my sway and I was on BCP and things were going a bit weird, I think it might have interfered with the pill or stopped things from working a bit. When I came off BCP I stopped drinking the pep tea. I incorporated it because I loved it as well. Now I just have the odd cup every now and again. I could be talking utter rubbish so definitely seek advice from atomic or someone who knows what they are talking about.

Thanks ladies, please feel free to talk about anything in this thread, I don't mind at all and would love it if you ladies talked about whatever you wanted to in here.
Kitkat, I'm sorry I hope that your body is tricking you and you are pregnant. I could try the peppermint tea, I just don't like tea, hot or cold. My coworker was drinking it so much when she got pregnant with her girl, just about 6 months ago. Yea, I couldn't imagine continuing to lose weight and still no bfp. I hope that it happens soon for you.
Steph, oh he's so little. I hope he is doing much better now. I bet you are, my boys are 9 and 5 and haven't gotten it yet, knock on wood they don't anytime soon. Can you elaborate on things getting weird for you when you were drinking your peppermint tea? I am on bcp as well.

Oh thanks guys! That's why this forum is ace its so supportive!! Stephk your boy is so little how lovely mine are 6 and 4 I am dying for another wee baby to join our house. My boys are 2 years apart and best friends though of course we want a girl for you great will deft. Query atomic about peppermint tea. I know I lose ovulation at 110 and I'm 117 so really don't want to lose more I might add in a third small meal. Stephk I think the way you handle the diet is brilliant so healthy marriedmumof2 check out what we are eating thread Steph has great meal ideas xxxxx

Oh cool I'll have to check that out. I am always looking for meal ideas.

When I was drinking pep tea and on BCP I started having 2 periods a month, I would start bleeding 7 days or so before the end of the pack, have a few days of bleeding and then when I had the 7 day pill break I had bleeding, this happened for a couple of months then I came off BCP anyway and now nothing

One of the reasons I am OK with another DS is that I know that it will be nicer for my current DS, for selfish reasons I want a girl (mother daughter relationship) but I am sure that DH and DS would prefer a boy and if they are happy that is fine. Not sure if we will try for a third, probably not but I haven't ruled it out yet

Thank you for the compliment on the diet. This is the eating thread: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...we-eating.html

I dont post in the strict ones because this is me being strict lol (most of the time). I was bad yesterday with times and snacks as I was feeling a bit fed up and wanted to eat. Hopefully will do better today as I am working from home. DS is back at nursery tomorrow, he seems a lot better today and apparently isn't infectious from today.

If you want links to any of the products let me know, I get my shopping from ocado (waitrose) but you might be able to find the same/similar wherever you shop.

[marriedmomof2]

Thanks! When I found the thread I just googled a lot of what you were eating lol. I completely understand about being happy with a boy, but to be honest I pray for a girl almost every day if not every day, my relationship with my mother sucked, so I have never had that mother daughter relationship. I want it more and more every day, but if I had another boy I couldn't help but be happy to have 3 boys because my husband has 2 brothers and they are so close it's amazing and weird at times lol.
I wouldn't worry about it, I have a major cheat weekend, our anniversary weekend is coming up in April, dh and I are taking a trip by ourselves I have no intention on staying on the diet 100% that entire weekend. Though I think my eating habits are better now because I make conscious decisions instead of just getting whatever sounds great.
I am not thinking about this peppermint tea, and saw palmetto, I wonder if I could get away with temoing every day instead of using opks.
Glad that your ds is doing better, did he get chicken pox from a child at the nursery?

[stephk]

Yes must have been a kid at nursery - its going to happen, they constantly have colds etc going around. At least he will have a good immune system later in life!!

What is temoing?

[kitkat18]

Glad to hear your little boy is better stephk I'm so glad I'm working or I would be on here all day hehe!! I too have made peace with another boy my boys are going to be so far apart in age I just want a healthy baby and bonus for me if its a girl will you guys find out I'm planning on waiting till birth team green but I may crack!!
I wouldn't just temp marriedmum as all sups/le diet can play havoc with your cycle and you don't want to miss your one and only attempt.i use clearblue digital monitor and you get a smiley face when you have lh surge so foolproof and so takes the stress out just my two cents! I use natural family planning so know all signs of impending ovulation but it felt good to back jt up with opks xxxxx

Lol I am so dumb I didn't realise you meant temping married!!!

I have thought a surprise would be nice too Kitkat but at the same time I would want to know and if there's going to be any twinge of disappointment I would rather deal with it in advance. I just want to be PG so much now I have kind of gone past caring lol
