Oh and my BD pattern and the snacking was very similar to XX

Thank you ladies! DS2's fever broke finally and is now back to his normal self. I was pretty worried about him, since he is my tall, lean boy with not much weight to spare.

XX and Junie - thank you! Glad to hear your son is doing a bit better, xx.

XX - your diet is not a million miles off what I've been doing. It's pretty similar, really. Same snacking pattern as both you and Junie. I've also recently gained quite a few lbs from comfort eating after my loss. Haven't lost it yet.

I just wish I knew for sure we were BDing at the right time!!! +opk yesterday morning and all negatives since.

This is such a stressful business!

TM29- I'm sure you're doing great! There are a ton of us boy moms here that can help out! I never used opks with my boys. I always checked my CM every morning with a little toilet paper in my vagina. I just went by CM. I do now too to make sure I only BD once or twice in my fertile window.

Stressing over a sway sways blue [emoji6][emoji170]! I would keep doing what you're doing! If you're not sure, just ask!

Junie, I think you maybe Oed on CD31, if you've definitely Oed which I am nokt 100% sure about, as your temps are still low.

Taytum, is the blood red/pink (vs brownish)? If so, at 7DPO I think implantation bleeding is more likely than AF spotting.

XX, I hope DS2 feels better soon.

XX - I'd love to know! I'm naturally thin too, but since going off BC I lost 8lbs, which is a lot for my body type. But, I just felt so much better after stopping BC and I wasn't hungry all the time or craving crazy things. I started to eat more veggies and had a pork chop for dinner almost every night with veggies and a spinach salad. Eating at least two fruits during the day as well and adding some fruit juices as well. I workout about 3x a week, but I HATE cardio. I used to just walk, ride the bike, or jog for about 10 minutes. I've picked up more weights now since getting on this site. I also think I have some PCOS symptoms. I'd like to think I'm naturally boy friendly, but we'll see. I'd be just as happy with a girl as well, but I know that whatever I'm destined to have, God will give me.

I've been checking my pad throughout the day and basically there's not much there. Right now it looks like there were just a few spots (TMI: might even be left over from the pad being somewhat scrunched "in" when I sit down). And some pinkish (the blood on the pad looks more brownish? Maybe left over from this morning) when I wipe or go to the bathroom one little spot in the toilet. Hmmmm? Ideas? No cramps though. No sore bbs. Nothing really.

Could be irritation from your cervix or implantation bleeding. I had that with DS2 and thought AF was coming early, but I had sore BBs though.

Your diet sounds good. I would follow: breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack to keep your blood sugar nice and steady. Fruit juice is great. Sometimes I had fruit juice mixed with water or carbonated water with dinner. Usually cranberry/grape juice.

If you hate cardio, Yoga is great! It can get your heart rate up and build muscle at the same time. Black Swan Yoga has a variety of instructors you can choose from for only $8 a month. I ****** it on my iPad, iPhone, or my smart tv. I augment my cardio with Yoga to keep me sane from ttcing so long. I love either Melanie or Candice!

Hahaha I just caught up on other posts! Thanks for the info about your boy sway! I'm pretty good about breakfast snack lunch snack dinner (I feel like I eat a big dinner and don't save room for snacks at the end of the day!). I feel like I need to try to eat more, but then I feel more sluggish during the day, and that's hard to do when you have to keep up with 14-year-olds all day!

I will give Yoga a try! In my small, rural community there are few choices, and yoga isn't one of them, although I've always loved it. I'll have to check online to see if I can get some of them! Thanks for the tip!

When DH and I DTD on Sunday there was light blood after - that could have been because my cervix was soft? Not really sure on that. But, didn't really have anything yesterday, and now just the spotting today. All just so weird. Nipples seem KIND of sensitive, but only when I push on them, so that might be why they're sensitive too haha.

XX - Thank you so much! Yes, Atomic has commented on the blue-ness of the OBSESSING I'm doing. I really am, it's crazy - and tiring! Must be very difficult ttc pink and NOT obsessing - a little like trying not to think of a pink elephant.

If ANYONE needs pink sway advice I can certainly help. I don't think I'll ever go back to eating/exercising that way. Not now I know how it feels to eat 2000 cals and never ever ever have low blood sugar. AMAZING!.You boy moms are so right!

Taytum, I had very heavy implantation bleeding - so heavy I used a tampon and assumed I was out that month. I found out I was pregnant when I was testing for ovulation in what I thought was my next cycle?! Hopeful story?

[XXforhubby]

TM29- out of curiosity, how did you get your DD? I enjoy learning about other people's approaches.

It's funny how you can't imagine going back to the girl diet ways! I can't imagine going back to how I used to eat! I feel so much better not snacking and eating right before bed! I do miss my weights though and look forward to getting a BFP to resume my old regimen. I have found I have mellowed out a TON on the girl diet and don't obsess/control things anymore. It is SO freeing for me!

Sounds like you're doing well on the diet and wish you a blue bundle! Boys are SO much fun! I love their energy and how tender they are with their moms- there's nothing like it [emoji4]!
