Getting closer to my attempt!! :)

This waiting is killing me, but I'm getting closer and closer every day...my ticker is at exactly 6 months today, so that means tomorrow I'll be in the 5 month waiting zone...I know, so sad that I'm counting down, but it helps me :)

Anyone else feel this way also? 

Hmmmm, so let's see....6 months until we start to ttc and only  3 months until I start on a modified diet and start my ions...13 weeks until I get to start doing my swaying stuff ;)...

I'm soooo ready and so prepared, just gonna go for it right now, hehe...but I'll be good, I'll wait

Only thing I'm a bit unsure about is if what supps to take....debating whether or not to just take cran, calc, mag. folic acid, and B 12 supps, OR add B 6, iron, and vitamin C to that also....

I think what I may do is to take the vitamin C, iron, and B6 every 3 days, just so that I have some in my system...that might be a happy compromise for me...kwim?

 It will be here before you know it...You have a great plan, and hopefully it will not take you long to get pregnant!

Thanks so much!  Waiting is hard, but I can't believe it's Nov. already!  I remember back in July thinking that I wanted to try maybe in Jan...being 6 months away I thought was sooo short...and now here I am, 6 months away!  I'm sooo glad I am not trying in Jan...and I will be really proud of myself for waiting...:)

 I know, time flies now a days....waiting is the hard part, sometimes I think should I just try once..then Im like NO, Im not reday to be pregnant..LOL

I know how you feel, I have to wait until summer 2011! That's just so faaaaaaarrrrrr away, I think I will go insane!

Good luck hun, I am sure it won't take you long to concieve.

Thanks Luci :)...so why are you waiting until summer of 2011?  I remember when I was at that point...started "couting down" about 2 years before my attempt, haha...I found this site and that was it, I was hooked

aw, and I really do hope that i get pregnant quickly...FX for the both of us!!!

I can't believe I am in the 5 month "range" now...so exciting!

why are you waiting until summer of 2011?

I will be submit papers for my divorce in March 2010, it should take up to 6 months to have it all sorted but I don't want to get pg while I am still married to my ex. Also my children will have to deal with the sounding fact that their dad's and I have moved on (we are both in new relationships anyway) and it will give DP and I the chance to be together as a couple for an extra year and get the house straight before we have a baby or two.  Also DP and his ex wife have submitted paper for divorce in August, that should come through end of this year.

Part of me know that this is the best way but the waiting is going to kill me!  However we have left a small possibility of going ahead next Summer if we both feel very desperate in having the baby.

I know the feeling! It's like a drug, I can't get enough!

Babydust - I know the feeling...don't we all hehe :)  I started charting in May with an 8 mo. countdown.  Now we're debating on trying in December instead of January.  Since it'll be our first born, our sway isn't completely critical.  I'd love both, but I'd prefer a son.  Sounds like you've got a plan though.  It does help to think about different events and holiday to keep occupied.  Good luck with your sway and hope you keep busy in your wait :)!

Time will fly by! Just getting your "plan" in order and trying to remember everything is going to be a task in itself! Good luck with the modified diet!

hey BD! i know how you feel. i am so happy that our sways are nearing;) however, sometimes i still feel like i should wait to try in June... not may because that is when i conceived my first DS... but i hate waiting until June because then that is only 4 months of trying before winter!! ugh... i really wish i didn't care so much about the seasons... and who says it will take me awhile, lots of people get pg the first month. i am using the Diva cup so i think that will help. my only problem is what to drop if i don't get pg soon... there are so many options. i kind of feel like if i try in april then at least i will have time to mess around with things... kwim?

oh and about the vitamins... i am taking cran, cal, mag, folic, vit C, sudafed, and baby aspirin. the sudafed will only be for the week of O and the baby aspirin i think will help to lower pH my only concern is how to wean. i think the vit c will really help to keep your pH low.

 I agree with this.

 I'm taking Calcium, Magnesium with Zinc, Cranberry, Vitamin C and Folic Acid. 

Hey sunshine!  I know, I can't believe it's just over 5 and a half months to go...doesn't really seem that long anymore :)

From 10 to 7 months I was having a hard time, 7 being the HARDEST yet!  But ever since I got past 7 months time is definitely going by faster....I don't know why, but I'll take it .  Don't get me wrong, the waiting is still really really hard but at least the indecision is totally gone.  Since it's only 5 and a half months to go and I want to start a modified diet, supps, and ions at 12 weeks, I wouldn't want to go much sooner than May anyway.  Only about 11 or 12 weeks until I start all that stuff.

So, for me May is it...I'll tell you why: I like the fact that April always brings lots of showers which ='s lots of - ions.  And it will be so close to my attempt it's sure to influence my sway in a good way.  Also, May is nice and warm, and at the very end of spring.  I also like that it gives me 5 months to try in the warm weather insead of just 4 if I started in June.  I hope I get preggers fast and I did with Ds, but all this other stuff I'm doing to sway girl, you just never know.  I think May is the perfect middle ground for me and also Dh and I just have a great feeling about a May start.  Something magical about it, I just can't explain.  I know that sounds funny, haha, but it's just a gut feeling on both our parts I guess.  If I did end up changing my start date I would regret it, with a May start, there is no regrets!  And that is a beautiful thing, no regrets and a peace of mind whatever the outcome is.  But that's just my story, you have to decide what you are comfortable with.  I know it's such a hard decision to make but once you find it, you'll just know :)

And that sounds good for the supps for both PP.  For me I've decided to take 'em all!  With the exception of vitex, baby aspirin, and acidophilis.  I want peace of mind and the ones to prevent m/c I"m going to take.  I'll be taking a lot of vitamins but not all at the same strength as in the IG FAQ's.  I'm small and think it would be too much and also I will be getting a lot from diet also.  Sooo, I guess you would say that I am not following the low nutrient diet in that sense, but in other ways I am...I'm going to eat very little, lose weight, and like I said, I'm not taking the full doses of the vit's at all...except for the cranberry pills and FA.
