Hi ladies,
Everyone sounds like they're doing fab at the moment!!

No breakfast
Lunch rice with yogurt, lemon, cumin. Strawberries with small meringue, 2 biscuits, actimel
Dinner will be pasta with courgettes and Parmesan and maybe green beans. Frozen yogurt
Better on the snacking today but I'm sooooo bored of only eating at meal times!!!!!!

Mocha- how did last night go?? for some reason it doesn't feel weird to ask that question....hahaha!

The deed is done, so to speak.

The worst part was that I didn't know if dh would want to dtd before or after his baseball game, so I took 2 Benedryl at about 8pm to cover both possibilities. By the time he came home at 11pm, I was practically comatose. I had been trying to stay awake for hours, but every time I sat down I started to snooze. Man, does that stuff knock you out!

I think I may be ovulating right around now. I just checked and my cervix is getting firmer and there's some creamy cm. I just did an OPK and it's still +, but I think last time it stayed + for several days after I knew I had O'd. Does that happen to anyone else? I don't temp, so sometimes I worry I interpret my clues incorrectly and I actually O later than I think.

I know I had a positive result the day my temp went up

I´m starting to struggle...but managed to control myself today.
I will look into baby meals tomorrow because I really need something new or I´ll fall off the boat.

Lunch: mushroom iceberg lettuce salad, GF pasta w brown sugar, activia yoghurt and 2 ricecakes
Dinner: leeks zucchini white rice, tiny piece of fish, lowfat yoghurt, one kiwi, a piece of almond crumble cake

1450 calories, 35 g protein, 28 g fat and 400 mg sodium

Sorry Mocha I can´t help you, I know when I O for sure only by temp rise.

Are you taking Vitex? Sorry…can’t remember! If so, I think Vitex has a tendency to induce strong OPKs in some women. Mine last time was very similar. YAY…You did it!!! Now it's the 2ww!!!

I´m starting to struggle...but managed to control myself today.

Sounds like me the past few days!!! Been eating 1500 instead of 1300ish…





No brekkie…coffee w/rice milk

1st meal:
- White basmati w/leeks & zucchini
- Air-popped popcorn (and LOTS of it!)

2nd Meal:
- Iceburg and romaine w/balsamic w/yogurt and goat cheese
- “Girl Sway” smoothie
- Yogurt & strawberries

Just over 1500 cals, 27 g Fat, 31 g Protein, 60 g Fiber & 780 mg Sodium

Yep - I've been taking Vitex, though I stopped today because O was due. I'm going to assume I O'd, which means I'm officially in the 2WW. Phew! I'm going to try to hold off testing till 10dpo this month, but that seems sooooooo far away!

I'm officially in the 2WW. Phew! I'm going to try to hold off testing till 10dpo this month, but that seems sooooooo far away!

Sounds like you Oed to me. I also vow not to test this next time until at least 10dpo as well. It's just harder for me if I keep testing.

Yay mocha, back in the 2ww!!! Fx for bfp this month, do you feel good about your chances?

[Mochagirl]

I feel good about my chances for a BFP, but not great about my sway. We dtd at 6 days before O, then 3, 2 and 1 days before O. We did frequent BD, but there was one night we didn't get around to dtd until 5:30 in the morning, so I'm worried that dh's sperm count rose by then. We also missed one day releasing, but dh claims he released before we dtd that night. My diet hasn't been great this last month, with this past weekend being the worst.

However, we're in the middle of a record-breaking heatwave here, with humidex ratings approaching 50 degrees celsius. We don't have a/c, so I've been hot all week. That could work in my favour, right?

Hey, Ladies - here's today for me:

Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: rice with a tiny bit of feta, plain yogurt, cilantro and a few pieces of roasted red pepper mixed in. Not very good, sadly. I also had a peach, 3 tiny yellow plums and some raspberries (today was farmer's market day so the house is full of fruit)
Supper: 3 half bagels with low sodium tomato sauce, mushrooms and a tiny bit of low fat mozzarella cheese melted on top, 2 small cobs of corn
Snack: I brought a friend out for drinks and dessert for her birthday. I got a cranberry & soda to drink, and a blood orange sorbet as my dessert, so it didn't end up really being a cheat except for the fact that the juice brought my calories up a bit above my usual amount.
Snack2: When I got home I was starved after watching people eat food at the restaurant. I had two sliced pickles since my sodium was very low for the day, then also had two sugar free cookies. I don't know if it's because I ovulated today, but I've been starved all day! I know I shouldn't have had this second snack, but I couldn't resist!

Calories: 1506
Protein: 45g (a bit higher than I would like - I blame the bagels, which are pretty high in protein. I'm disappointed my lunch rice was no good because I wasted 8g of protein on that!)
Sodium: 887mg

I hid the fudge in the fridge today so I managed to avoid eating it. I think I may freeze what's left to enjoy once I get my BFP.
