Iwantalittleprincess:

Maybebabythree what supplements are you taking? can you tell me breifly your plan? soz if you have outlined this somewhere else its hard to find things on here lol awe thats a shame you got your af.

I got a faint line on opk this afternoon, i am guestimating ovulation on 28/29th so does a faint line today seem typical of that?

do you know how why diet should be carried out over a long period of time? can you not just srtictly adhear to diet from af to o and possibly during 2ww if your ph is staying low?

Ok here is my attempt - but as the months go on it has got more slack I need to reign things (like the diet) back in. I am doing the extreme sway. I never thought I would but DH was willing to try and here I am. I think I am mad, and it wasn't my original plan but......

I you think you will O on the 28th then yes a faint line today sounds about right.

Tamara would say that the diet is not just af - o as it takes your body a long time to change it's chemistry. Sorry! Its about the ions and hormones not just the pH. It is up to you but the diet works best if you don't cheat! If you belive in the diet and you want to try it then try to give it 100%. If you feel it is too hard then re-think things from there. But I think most girls would say it is the most important factor in swaying.

Good luck!!

 

Hello ladies, how are you all?

TLM - can't believe you have your scan in a few weeks, it seems to have gone quick! Best of luck, keeping my FX

Maybebaby - sorry AF arrived. Really hope next month is your month, you really deserve it!

Welcome Iwantalittleprincess!

Indigo - hope you O very soon.

Well we were going to wait until Dec but think we might have 1 shot at TBM at O+12 (-even though I can never work out when it is!!) next month.

Have any of you girls managed to buy a Douche bottle? I asked at a pharmacy and I'm sure the very young guy at the counter thought I was Kinky. LOL!!!

Best of luck to all those ttc this month xx

Heee Hee!! Your brave!! I would die of embarisment if I did that!! I felt like a nut just getting my ioniser!

Morning all

TLM, really hope you start to feel better soon, not long till your scan now (it's on my ds3's birthday )

Maybebabythree, sorry af got you    Good luck for this month

P4ap, nice to see you back and that your mil is better.  Good luck for this month

Iwantalittleprincess, you sway looks fab,  I would avoid tea and not have breakfast till after 11.

Lola, your going to be ttc around the same time as me   I'm going to start in May though and am hoping for a bfp 1st time as me and my older 2 boys are going to Glastonbury at the end of June and don't think I would be able to keep up the diet for the 6days we are away.  It's actually stressing me out thinking about it as I would need to start all over again if I don't get pg before I go and will end up ttc Aug.

Cf, good luck for testing.

Indigo, hoping you ov soon

no5wantingasisforchloe, at your trip to the pharmacy.  I've not bought any douche bottles.

Cottontales, hope your ok hun, remember we are all still here for you

Hi to everyone else

Well, I'm going to go and get some xmas shopping in, catch up with you all later xx

I got a bfp 1st time after doing the diet for 6 weeks with ds2 unfortunately though I was trying for a girl but never mind!

Thanks ladies for the well wishes, I finally have a peak reading on my monitor so it looks like I will O tomorrow (yay!!) AND DH is home for once which makes it easier!!

Hope you are all doing well today, catch up later got to dash

Hi ladies, hope you are all well.

Lola, so I take it you have swayed before, then?  What are you going to change this time?

Indigo, glad you got a peak, for tomorrow xx

last time I did the shettles method with a 3 day cut off and frequent bd up til the cut off, I also did the diet (although I did cheat a bit by having a slice of toast every day - but with just unsalted butter on it). Plus I took supps (but not nearly enough according to IG) This time round having found IG, I am going to do all 7 sway and TBM/SU I am also going to do 0+12 (hopefully I will learn to pinpoint my O) and abstain also. That is the plan anyway!

Anyone else looking into doing SU? I've not got my incubator, TT's or microscope yet!

Also I will douche as I didnt do that last time and maybe lime tampon - depends as I may use a divi cup for the tbm bit?

 

hi ladies, just thought i would drop in, thankyou for all your kind words, im still gutted and undecided, but not crying everyday, im going to have another scan in london, a proper sexing scan, i still feel so different then with the boys, still so nauseous, my boobs are so sore and big, my skin is terrible, i know it will still come back boy, but least i will see the actual bits instead of looking thru all these nub shots trying to compare mine to theres praying mr penman has it wrong, i will no for certain, good luck to everyone who is entering there sway, just keep in the back of your mind its not 100% and just pray god is on your side!

Lola, your plan sounds similar to mine .  We are going to do su/tbm aswell, I've got the microscope (was meant ttc this year in July/Aug but put it off for a year) but still have to get tt's and incubator, I will get them in Jan so it gives me a couple of months to practise.  Before I found ig I was going to do shettles but after being on here looks like o+12 is the way to go go.  I tried pinpointing o earlier in the year and it was hard, i will start charting again in Jan and use my cbfm so hopefully it will make it abit easier. x

 

Just a few questions to all you uk girls as is anyone using a moon cup and  if so where did you buy it? Where do you buy lime juice ( for the douche)? Do you have to use distilled water and where do you buy this?  Has anyone any other recipe ideas oked by Tamara? as really struggling with it now. Can you eat any cereals, it says corn cereal, so are cornflakes ok? Sorry for so many questions

Sorry one more question is it best to take baby asprin? What are the benefits of this and what is the dose? Thanks

Hey Western93, I have similar questions...

 I have just ordered Replens and a mooncup today from www.stressnomore.co.uk to help with ph testing and the lime douching, I have tried a lime soaked tampon and inserted after bd last month but I felt totally irritated and couldn't get back to sleep so had to take it out lol so hoping moon cup helps with these issues.

Just posted a few questions on another post but think better to ask here...

Can anyone tell me what they bought to douche? it doesn't seem to be a very common thing to do in the uk and there are not much options...

would this be suitable?

also can any uk girls help me out with which drinking water? and distilled water?

oh and what cranberry juice are you all buying? everyone i pick up is made from concentrate grrr and contains sugar and sweetner.

Hi Western93

western93:

 is anyone using a moon cup and  if so where did you buy it?

I got my moon cup from boots. It costs about £14 I think.

western93:

Where do you buy lime juice ( for the douche)?

 

I asked Tamara this and it's ok to use the lime in a bottle (like Lemon juice) and mine was from Sainsburys, but I'm sure any supermarket should stock it.

western93:

Do you have to use distilled water and where do you buy this? 

 

You do have to use distilled water (although I think some people have used evian) and you can get it from any car place ie Halfords.

western93:

Has anyone any other recipe ideas oked by Tamara? as really struggling with it now

 

I hate the diet and am pretty rubbish but my favourite meal is pasta with chicken and sauteed leeks tossed in a little low sodium mayo (sainsburys organic is the best) with sprinkled Parmasan.

western93:

Can you eat any cereals, it says corn cereal, so are cornflakes ok?

 

Cornflakes and Rice Krispies are ok but only if they are eaten as a snack occasionally. They musn't be eaten at breakfast or too early in the day.

The baby aspirin is 71mg (they say 81mg but in UK it seems to be lower) and it helps to lower ph as well as to help with implantation and to maintain a pregnancy.
