TTC Girl - March 2012

[PeonyPrincess]

Just a quick hi to all you lovely ladies. I have just got back from a weeks holiday, so it will take me a while to catch up. Hope you are all going well, or at least as well as can be expected in the frustration that swaying can cause!

I'm 5 feet, 2.5 inches and weighed in at 96 lbs. the other day, so that puts my bmi around 17.3. I started the diet at 107 lbs. (in general, I usually weigh around 103 or 104, I'd say ... for a few months before starting the diet, I tried to do some extra indulging to give myself a little bit more to lose), so I've lost a bit more than 10 pounds.

I've been off the pill and charting for the past six months (although this was only our second month TTC) and I've ovulated each time. But I haven't been this low a weight since college so I just want to make sure I don't scoot myself into a territory of being anovulatory. DH would be absolutely fine with either a boy or a girl (frankly, he'd also be pretty fine with us stopping at the two kids we already have ) and he's putting up with all of this just for me ... but if he thinks I'm putting my health at jeopardy, he would lose patience really quickly. So I think at this point it's important for me to stay around 96 to 98 lbs. ... that seems like it's still a low enough overall weight to be pink-friendly, without going too low and risking not ovulation (or marital discord ). So I'm trying to make sure I'm eating lots of veggies, lots of fruit, lots of carbs and lots of sweets.

I am pretty proud to have been able to bust out my skinny jeans again, though! lol

I hear you! It's all a balancing act when starting off with not a lot to lose. My dh is putting up with it for me to and worried about my health too. I think you are doing a great job! Keep it up , and hopefully you won't have to for much longer!

ok, so I am 9dpo, did not test this morning. I really want a martini -- I am thinking to just go for it. If I am pg its sooo early it would not make a difference.
I will start testing tomorrow morning (10dpo) thru Friday (14dpo). If by Friday I stil have a bfn then I am out of the game and waiting for af to arrive next weekend.
I really don't know what to think. I feel like I have a good shot but I don't feel like I am that lucky.
I feel like with my luck, I am not pg and have totally messed up the diet in this 2ww. Watch, I will get pg next month after only being on the diet strict again for 2 weeks and it will be another boy. That there -- that is my luck. Just look at my sig and you can see my "luck".

PFP, I don't really believe in luck, but looking at your siggy, I believe you are truly blessed. The diet and swaying made me crazy, so I am just trying to keep everything low, no breakfast, changed Clomid from cd5-9 to cd3-7 (dont' tell my doc LOL) etc...and let what happens happen. I have come to terms with another boy and have been even thinking of names and so forth. I just want a baby at this point. To hold another in my arms and know that I don't have to give it back to it's momma is something I long for.

I don't think a little martini ever hurt anyone, so I think you would be okay in some much earned indulgence.

Praying for you a BFP soon! Can't wait to see two pink lines for you!!!! Amen!

Give yourself a drink hun, i think you need it to help the stress levels....

From the sounds of things, i dont think you have 'totally' messed up the diet either!! You've not been 100% but you have certainly been a lot stricter then some other successful girl sways.

Dont base your hope on previous 'luck', try and convince yourself that everything happens (or doesnt happen) for a reason. Maybe your failed attempts are because the little person that will be joining your family is only ready now, or next month.

Try and stay positive - positivity breeds positive energy, and that can only be a good thing.

Chin up hun!

Prayforprincess~ Now's the time for the martini bc you won't be able to have one for 9months!! Thats why I had the wine Fri, and Sat night! and it was soooo enjoyable. At our cal count too it really was relaxing-you could feel the alcohol!! Enjoy.. I feel exactly like you, I actually have the mind set I won't get a BFP, but yet I have the wine with the mindset I won't be able to drink for 9 months. I think seeing them in Nov. & FEb (my 2 other attempt) really knocked me off my horse-having a history of oopsie after oopsie. Then getting BFN with DTD 7 times in a fertile window. WTF is that! And if I get preg will it really be a girl? Can I be that blessed will it be my turn?

[prayforprincess]

Thank you ladies...what would I do without you???
Seriously, I talk to my firends about you like you ar part of my real life. Its as if I talk to you girls daily, cause I do. I think others think i am crazy. Maybe I am. You are the only ones who understand.
Boobs hurt. So weird. Told my mom today that I think my body is changing. Maybe my progesterone is stronger than before because I never had soer boobs waiting for af one week early.
Who knows. Will test in the morning. I can't be having these drinks unless i know for sure I am in the clear.

I wish it was not so hard...emotionally.....
And I know what you are saying KD, I just wanna hold my baby in my arms. My best gf just had a bbay girl on Tuesday night and I hold her and cuddle her...I wanna keep her. I see her breast feeding and I want that again. I want a baby!

[HopeandDreamG]

PFP - it's funny I was telling my mom and dh about u at dinner. They were saying what a great site it sounded like and how amazing we all support each other. I even told dh we were going to Boston one day if we both had girls! He was like ok cool I would like to see Boston! I thought he was going to tell me I was nuts!

[amari]

Hey, girls! This site is great, isn't it! Swaying would be so much harder without each other!!

pfp-sore boobs is a good sign!

hope-how are you feeling?

I bought some preseed yesterday, do you all think I should use it? I am afraid to b/c of the blue sway factor, even though the site stats show it doesn't sway blue. But I am also afraid not to b/c I am pretty lacking in cm and don't want to not get pg b/c of it. Decisions, decisions. Still neg opk but I think we should dtd tonight even though dh already fr today, do you think that is ok?
