UK SMOG Wannabes - November (moved from PL)

[chocolate]

Our phase is Toy Story, which I quite like lol!

Deaks there was mention somewhere about how if your sugar levels arent ideal for the embryo it may decide not to stay which may be a chemical ....... but I think that was speculation but still worth bearing in mind in the 2ww!! My sil had a chemical and I wonder if that was meant to be a boy but she didnt have enough glucose, (she has 2 girls and doesnt eat a particularly good diet, picks at stuff and eats yoghurts and sweets!) Where as I when ttc stopped all that and started going to the gym and eating healthily, so this time Im going to be lazy and eat boring food with little vitamins.
I think there is talk about the extra supps maybe not being great as they would provide more vitamins, but I think for me its worth it just incase. I may take a slightly smaller dose or something but Ill be taking zinc and vitamin E and B12. Maybe even just half the dose is better than nothing.

Sorry Sunset, I meant I went to H&B but it was pricey so went off to Boots but the boys were in no mood for hanging around so I didnt look. Good point Deaks about looking online to see whats in them, will order tonight. Ovulating today so need them for about 8 days time!

I keep changing my sway, felt soo stressy trying to sort out diet and supps I said this isnt good, my aim is to do the opposite of what I did with the boys. So no exercise, low stress, low nutrient and low calorie, abstinance and 0+12 if I can pinpoint it but will keep an eye on PH so hopefully it wont matter too much. So diet Im not even tracking minerals etc. just eating low sodium stuff, avoiding all red meat, try to eat leeks and beans and cucumber and smaller amounts of chicken and stick to rice and pasta and parmasan, caffeine free diet coke, and no tomato sauces, both of us will eat strawberries and yog's too.
For my OH Im concerntating on the same but a lot less strict, he can have jam sarnies instead of cheese sarnies and rice cakes instead of crisps. But there is no way I can track it all!

So in theory the start of my sway will be on my af around Christmas time! Am also going to be good in December but I have a weekend away and a christmas do plus christmas day food where Im not going to deprive myself but I wont go mad. If other women can have girls without avoiding christmas dinner then hopefully I can too lol!


Petal hope bubs arrives soon! xx

keep seeing newborns and getting broody, even more so over the boys - maybe its because they remind me of the newborn love with my sons. Sainsburys have such cute boy stuff and Im not that keen on their girl clothes ............ how odd!!


Littlemisswilko I think Ill skip the secret santa as Im so bad at keeping on top of stuff but sounds great :-)

is that the rock salt lamp I need? And an average price?
Do you know if OH should have as many negative ions as poss or does that not matter?

hehe i like starwars....football now that i CANT get interested in at all

[maybebabythree]

When does the housework phase kick in?? Thats what I am waiting for! I don't mind watching my son play football, but in general I hate football. He also does gymnastics which is more my cup of tea. Inside with no mud!

I used to think Dora the exploror was the worse thing ever. Maybe what ever they are into, if you get it 24/7 for months on end it grates on you? Or is it just me?

Jees, the low blood sugar thing is finally starting to sink in.... why am i slow?! seriously i have a degree and am a teacher but when it comes to anything to do with science, maths or dates i am sooo dyslexic! SO, a female embryo needs a female (low blood sugar) environment to be conceived and develop in and a male needs the opposite. So if you suddenly switch just before or during fertilisation or even a while after, then the embryo wont be able to cope..right? GOT IT. Sorry i so slow everyone!

littlemisswilko ~ how are you today hun? has af turned up yet?

not yet but should do in 2-3 days

[littlemisswilko]

yeh that lamp is the rite one!

deaks, im too dyslexic when it comes to all this swaying malarky, i think its because you read something and then a few days later you read something else which contradicts the first thing you read and you forget it then go one and read something else that contradicts the first and second thing you read. There is no deffinate do's or dont's so this is how it becomes so confusing! :S

Just caught up!
I Just haven't been on the computer much at all as we had a super busy day yesterday as it was DS1's 4th Birthday so we went to the Dinosaur museum and Teddybear museum and then went to get dressing up outfits for his party on Sunday. Ds1 is going to be a pirate and Ds2 a ladybird! It was the only costume that I could buy that was small enough for him! He looks so cute in it!!

Ds1 is going through a Toy Story phase he could watch all three films back to back on a daily basis if he were allowed!

I read the blood sugar thing on here and it really makes sense to me! I'm just going to try and stick to the diet at leat 99% until BFP. I hope it's not too long.

LMW, Deaks how badly have you guys been cheating in the 2ww? A cheat to me would be to have a small bit of chocolate. Just wondering what others count as cheats?

Chocolate yay for TTC now! I was going to wait but was too broody and the more I read about swaying the more I just wanted too hurry up and start the diet so I was that much closer to being able to start TTC.
