TTC a BOY May Chit Chat Thread

[LolaInLove]

So, it's 7dpo again and the brown spotting has begun again just like last cycle. ARG! I hope I'm not in for another round of this weirdness and pain. I am wondering if there is something with this diet that is making my cycles different, or bringing on spotting and cramps? Like not enough fats or something? I do take fish oil and DHA with prenatals, and do eat some fats each day, just not like I used to. I have really cut carbs out too, but I do have some every once and a while. Anyone have experience with going on a big diet and having your cycle change?

Oh sorry you feel so crappy! Hopefully it is just 1st trimester blah.

I hope so Lola

and when I first started the boy sway diet my cycles did get messed up a little, but if your 7dpo maybe its implantation spotting

I would be super excited and think it was implantation spotting except for the same thing happened last month and I definitively wasn't pg since my DH was out of town for 2 weeks right smack over O time. But hey, maybe it is. The crazy cramps are hard to explain, though.....

Lola, can you go back to your Dr. and see her while you are having these symptoms? FWIW, I really hope it IS implantation spotting!!

Happened to me the month I gave up carbs.....had a lot of spotting (sometimes actual bleeding) throughout the cycle and severe pain and cramping too....the next month was normal....You however are having it again this cycle, so I dont know what to make of that? I'm really hoping its IB

See this is exactly what is happening, and I cut out carbs for the past 4 weeks!!!! Did you go to the doctor? Did they tell you anything about it? Thanks for posting this, OP. But of course, I hope there is something implanting, but I doubt it.

I'm thinking about it. I may call on Monday and see if they want me to.

Maybe my body is adjusting to not having gluten anymore because I don't eat carbs anymore????

Well i started swaying in December, pretty hardcore, look what happened to my very regular perfect cycle in Feburary! I have stopped everything now except for prenatal. I dont even consider myself a boy swayer anymore, just ttc.

I'm with you on that one Cinss!! I have had perfect 4 week cycles for 2 years now....since swaying started my cycles are getting longer and longer! AF is going all weird with last cycle it only lasting 2 days, this time it improved to 4 days. I am just doing prenatal and fish oil (it makes my hair and nails grow lovely), I am dieting to lose the 12kg I have put on swaying (lost 6.3kg so far) and no longer consider myself boy swaying....I just want a baby!!!
