August 2WW!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I really hope this bean will stick. Could you guys give me your honest opinion about my sway?
LE diet very strict, but only for 3 weeks. :worry: Didn't think I'd get a bfp so soon. Lost about 7 or 8 lbs I think.
Vitex af to O
Zyrtec the morning of + opk
Dtd once that night
I was also very strict in the 2ww. Lost at least another pound or 2.

What do you think? I've never swayed like this before, so I'm happy either way. I turned 37 in July and this is baby number 5. I didn't want to waste too much time. Thanks for reading, and supporting me. :heart: you girls!!!

[Shellbelle]

Yes, 3m, I can see it. But maybe Beachy will tweak it some? It's her special talent. ;)

[Shellbelle]

I think it sounds great, and 7 or 8 lbs is awesome. So happy for you, sweetie.

[pebmcpd7]

I can't see it either!!!!
I have no hpt's, I have used a cheapie opk, if you were pregnant would both lines be the same colour or what??
I am clutching at straws here I think :/

[NCBeachyGrl]

Can't wait to see tomorrow's pic!!!!! Let me try to tweak some more!!!!

3men...I had a really faint line on FRER and 2 days later after the pee dried and turned to yellow, the line was obvious! YUCK!!!!!!!!

So happy for you and preying for nice dark line!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

can't see it! post another!

agh i'm becoming one of you!

It's really hard to see. I thought it would be a little darker. I held my pee for 6 hours. But at most I'm only 8 dpo and it's a frer. Sorry fish.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Can't wait to see tomorrow's pic!!!!!

I'll send you another one in the morning. Could you put it on here for me? Please?

[NCBeachyGrl]

Is this better?

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'll send you another one in the morning. Could you put it on here for me? Please?

Of course! I am up early too so don't worry about sending it too early! 2 boys sharing a room = up by 6 AM!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Can you tweak me NC? I've never been tweaked before...lol

[Winngrin]

:hugs: 3M....thats a positive, I see it!!!!!! Woo-hoo!!! When you were talking about the cramping I was so hoping it was the same thing I have had on and off!!! Congratulations!!

:omg:

[NCBeachyGrl]

I tweaked it a few posts down!

[fish2012]

It's really hard to see. I thought it would be a little darker. I held my pee for 6 hours. But at most I'm only 8 dpo and it's a frer. Sorry fish.

I forgive you .....want to see an update pic tomorrow thou ;-0

oh so exciting!

[Praying4Pink]

P4p when are you testing??????

CONGRATS 3M!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOOO!!!!!! Man ladies we are smoking. I know why it is HOT in August....It's because we are baby making machines! Hoping I can join you all very soon. These cramps have me super worried :nails: They are strong! I don't think the cramps should be this bad with implantation. Uggh!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

CONGRATS 3M!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOO HOOO!!!!!! Man ladies we are smoking. I know why it is HOT in August....It's because we are baby making machines! Hoping I can join you all very soon. These cramps have me super worried :worried: They are strong! I don't think the cramps should be this bad with implantation. Uggh!

Some of mine are pretty uncomfortable. I think it's a good sign.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

For some reason I thought they might be a little darker this afternoon than they were this morning, but there not. It has me a little worried. I have this feeling like a mc is in my future. Horrible thought.

[Winngrin]

3M, it took me until 12dpo to get a dark line. I also was (still am of course) worried but am starting to be a little more comfortable with the thought that I am actually pregnant. AF is due tomorrow so I am thinking I will feel better when it doesnt show. I think its so natural to be this worried about something you want so badly. Hang in there!

[suregena]

Nope, definitely not pregnant. Negative.

Just have to keep waiting for AF. I may or may not try next cycle. I have to completely, more or less, drop dieting, though I think I'll keep the no-snacking part and possibly (for the most part) no breakfast...
I've gained a LOT of weight back. It's really bad. So I do think I should skip next cycle if I want a fighting chance to work off my extra "eat whatever" weight I've gained. Badbadbad. (I stopped the diet when I went on holiday... I've probably gained 7lbs back. And, just like that... wooosh! Feeling fat.)

[Praying4Pink]

Some of mine are pretty uncomfortable. I think it's a good sign.

I sure do hope you are right 3M! I must admit...I ALMOST came out from under that chair when I got home tonight. I didn't do it though. I have about 6 IC's just calling my name...or is that you POAS pushers? Either way I am NOT testing! So there :p

[NCBeachyGrl]

I'm really upset! I started spotting that is now pink tonight. This is exactly what happened last time I had a 6 week m/c. Say a little prayer for me.

[BeadinMom]

Praying for you, NC...♥
I know it's easier said than done, but please try not to worry too much.
I bled with each of my boys - from low progesterone.
You should call your ob-gyn's office (there's probably someone on call) and see if they can send you for some labs. (If you don't want to call tonight, first thing in the morning)
Thinking of you my girl and praying for the best. Xx

[Shellbelle]

Praying for you, Beachy. I second what Beadin says: call and see if they can check your levels. I have needed progesterone with two of my babies, and bled for quite a long time. Hugs to you.

[myGirl]

Beachy, you are in my prayers, I hope everything is OK. Butterfly Spirit had spotting and her Dr. Prescribed progesterone and everything is fine now.

[myGirl]

BIG Congratulations to all the BFPs!!!
This thread is on fire!!!

Did just about everyone who ended up with a BFP have cramping during the 2ww? Anyone not have cramping and still get BFP?

[NCBeachyGrl]

I love you ladies!

I'm going to call the dr in the AM and try to get in to do some labs and see if they can give me progesterone or something!

Now back to happy BFPs!!!!!!!!!!I don't want to bring this thread down! We have had such good luck!

[Winngrin]

Beachy.....I'm so sorry to hear this but please keep thinking the very best. If it was just a little and it is pink now that is a good sign! Do call the dr in the morning, if they cant do anything else they may at least reassure you that this can be perfectly normal. I feel for you, I check every time I use the restroom. I will say a prayer for your little Beachy Bean. :hugs:

[Lassie1982]

Hoping for the best for you beachy *hugs*

So sorry suregena! It well and trully sucks. Maybe a trip to the dr might be in order? Just to get some bloodwork and ultrasounds to make sure all is ok? Its what I am currently doing. If nothing it might give you some peace of mind a d restore some hope for you.

Praying for you beachy!! I had bleeding like that and it ended up being a cervical polyp and harmless!!

Congrats 3menandalady!

They won't do investigations unless you've been trying for 12 months or have had three miscarriages in a row.

[Wishing4Pink]

I HAVE A BFP!!!!!! Super light but def there. I don't have internet access from my phone and have no idea how to upload them from my camera. Does anyone have a clue?

:cheerteam: Huge congratulations ThreeMenAndALady!!!!! Fab news to see when i logged on

[Wishing4Pink]

Thinking of you Beachy, and sending my prayers. I had slight bleeding in my 1st pregnancy which turned out all ok. ~Big hugs x

[*ruby*]

Huge congrats 3Men!!!!!

[Lassie1982]

Oh crap suregena :( i assumed it would be the same as here, you can get a referal here if you have had 6 or more cycles, thankfully it's all bulk billed so there is no outlay.
Clutching at straws here but given the abnormal length of your cycles would they overlook the 12 month rule for you?
Or another thought, could all the FR be affecting your dh's sperm count? Maybe try and just do attempts at positive opk?
Wishing you lots of luck

[Lassie1982]

Well I'm officially out, which I pretty much knew anyway!
Had an ultrasound today (getting checked out to make sure all is ok in there fertility wise) and there was definitely no pregnancy!
On a positive note, it seems that everything is normal, so I'm just waiting for bloods to come back, fingers crossed they are fine- it does give me some renewed hope to know that I am ok inside :)
Dh will also get a sperm analysis - hopefully he will hurry up about it!

Congrats again to all the BFPS, and fingers crossed to those still waiting!

I really hope the slow guy got off his a$$ this weekend and sent my sticks. Praying I get them today. If not, off to Walmart and the dollar store I go. P4p your symptoms look good. I am cramping too, but have no cm still. :fx: for you!!

Who is this slow ebay person you all speak of.. why not get the tests i recommended and the seller sends them quickly.

Oh, my Beachy girl.. NO! :( You are in my prayers tonight sweetie!
And yes, I'm glad these ladies are here for you to help you benefit from my experience! GET Progesterone! Beg your OB! I did..and It's not a harm in any way to baby, it can only help! I started the day after my BFP and I even spotted and bled bright red throughout that first week of taking it. I was absolutely terrified! But all is well, and my pregnancy has been strong despite constant worrying that I try to keep shoving down! I keep my doppler close! TTC5 told me there was a chance it could be breakthrough bleeding... when I was going through mine.. and also it could still very well be implantation! I hope hope hope this is a sticky baby for you hon! :HH:

Lassie, so sorry you're not pregnant, but glad you made those test and now you'll be more relaxed by knowing you're body is functioning well. Perhaps you're not getting pregnant due to the stress of ttc. I really hope your blood tests are ok and you'll have your BFP very soon!

NCBeachy, really sorry about your spotting but if it is not red period like blood, it might not be anything wrong. I got pink spotting too when I was about 5 weeks pregnant and then it stopped. In fact I thought my AF was coming. Then I got it again at 7 weeks and went to DR and he said it might be that placenta was low. He ordered me to bed for a week and spotting stopped immediately. Same thing happened at 20weeks pg, actually it was red blood like AF and Dr again said it was the lower placenta, but the pregnancy progressed and I had a healthy baby. I'm praying you'll be ok and your spotting stops soon. You should see a DR if it continuous though, as the girls say, he might give you progesterone. Hope to hear you are better.

[dreamingpink77]

Suregena sorry to hear about your BFN :sad: but your AF is still not here and that at least is a positive sign! And your temps are still high. Really hope you get your BFP very soon.

[dreamingpink77]

ThreeManAndALady, Huge Congratulations to you, just read the thread this morning, was out yesterday. I'm really happy for you! :cheerteam:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Who is this slow ebay person you all speak of.. why not get the tests i recommended and the seller sends them quickly.

NC told me about him. If I need them again would you mind letting me know who you use? Thanks Butterfly.

One way or another I'm getting you out from under that chair p4p. And yes I was the one calling your name!!! hahaha Pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee. Do it for your fellow poasaholics. It's almost your duty as a gender dreaming member. I pulled that one out of my you know what. I hope to see a pic in the near future with 2 beautiful lines. Good luck p4p!!!

[mummyof3<3]

Hi beachy try not to worry i had bleeding on all 3 of my pregnancies even had clotting with my youngesr and was sure i had m/c but after an emergency scan which showed baby was ok i so surprised they ndver found out what caused the bleeding and cloys best of luck to you xxx

[NCBeachyGrl]

You ladies are awesome! I am calling the doc as soon as they open! It did stop last night and this AM there has been nothing but one wipe of old blood. Fingers crossed it was a one time thing!

3men....where's the pic lady? We are all dying over here!!!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Ncbeachy: have the doc order blood work for your progesterone and hcG level. They can mark it "stat" and if u go this am u an have results earliest this afternoon. It will put u at ease and while u wait progesterone is a must! Thinking of you!

[HopeandDreamG]

And 3men: CONGRATS!

[Shellbelle]

Beachy, how are you doing this morning?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I sent Beachy pics but they were terrible. Not what I expected to see this morning. I have a feeling this is going to be a chemical. I've never had one before so I just have to wait and see. Sorry I don't have pics ladies. :tissue:

[KraizyDaizy]

NC praying for you and you little bean to stick and get all settled in.

Suregena, I too have a BFN this am and I am so devastated. When will it be my turn again?? I know there is a reason for it, but still just tired of trying. Close to 2 1/2 years now and I am just about over it. Kind of getting resolved to the fact or never having my daughter...

[auroara78]

3M1L: congrats on preg! I am just hoping it's not a chemical, big FX for you hun!

Beachy, I agree with everyone else: be aggressive with docs, get progerestone, and some blood work done STAT :)

[Praying4Pink]

I'm really upset! I started spotting that is now pink tonight. This is exactly what happened last time I had a 6 week m/c. Say a little prayer for me.

NC No worries honey. Pink or Brown is usually normal. I had bright red at 12 weeks...thought it was a mc...ended up being something with my placenta. Happened twice actually and was put on bed rest twice for about a week. I am sure everything is just fine dear. But I will say a prayer for you anyway :pray:

[Shellbelle]

Hang in there 3m! What kind of test was that yesterday? Did you use the same brand today?

Suregena and Kraisy -- I'm so sorry to hear about the bfns. :(

How is everyone else this morning? Any new testers?

I'm 6dpo and woke up with an awful headache, like a hangover, and a stuffy noseand hot flashes. Maybe I'm coming down with something. :(

Shell, I used frer and Answer. I used frer yesterday too. The color is about the same as yesterday. But I've always had the color get darker the day after. My cramps aren't here right now and my back aches a little bit. Since the + test yesterday I haven't felt good about this. Maybe intuition??

Man 3M you are a good saleswoman! I almost....ALMOST fell for it too! Last night I had the IC in my hand and I just remembered the disappointment from last month and I just couldn't do it. I hope your stick gets darker my dear.

[Lilpumpkin06]

Does anyone know if I'm supposed to use rephresh every 3 days still? I had my first attempt Monday night.

Yes, but you're still getting lines, and it's still way early. And getting a bfp on those at this point is awesome. FX for you, sweetie.

[Shellbelle]

Does anyone know if I'm supposed to use rephresh every 3 days still? I had my first attempt Monday night.

If you've already o'd, I don't see a reason to. However, its not a part of my sway, so maybe one of the other girls knows more.

I did the same thing this morning, and then remembered a couple of things:

1. I'm only 6 dpo.

2. I was crushed by that chemical pg last month.

I'm not sure if I can handle the negatives or positives-then-negatives this month.

[Chessika]

Congrats to all the BFP this month. Finally I got a good temp rise ( Unsere Foren (http://www.wunschkinder.net/forum/zanzeige.php?0,userid=32111,nummer=16)) . Yesterday I had a little cramping, but sometimes my scar from the C-section hurts, so I never know. Tomorrow we are leaving to my mother´s place for a week, so my diet will be horrible!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beachy, how are you doing this morning?

I am actually feeling a bit better for the moment. The spotting stopped 100% last night and today's first morning pee there was nothing...I was so scared to get up and go b/c I thought it would be AF like. Then as the morning went on I did have some dark brown blood...but only when I wipe. I have had a liner on all morning and nothing on it. I called the doc and when DH gets home at 2:00, I am going to get labs done and beta and then go back on Friday to do another beta.

I took my temp this AM and it was the highest reading I have had yet (98.36)...hopefully that is a god sign its not crashing back to normal level?

Thanks for asking about me!

3men...I tried to tweak your photo and couldn't get a line to show. BUT....I really think it is too early for a FRER! Those tests seemed to have gotten not so sensitive lately! Keep thinking positive thoughts!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

OMG...I feel like I am posting my own pics....drumrolll....3menandalady's BFP:

4077
4078

[Shellbelle]

Actually, I can see it on both. :) :) :) And more easily than yesterday.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ok...I HATE FMU!!! I peed on this one 2 hours after my morning pee and it was so much darker. Hopefully a good sign. Glad you can see it Shell!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

And thanks again NC for posting these for me. :heart:you!!!

Kraizy, I'm so sorry about your bfn. I could hear the disappointment in your post. I hope a bfp is in your future. You deserve it!!! Have you been actively trying for 2.5 years? If so, have you gone to the doc about it? Sorry if I'm prying...

[auroara78]

threemen that is surely a BFP! I can see the faint line very clearly without squinting! congrats!!

Auroara, I am loving all your new profile pictures!!! Your boys are precious and they make me smile!! :)

NC, so glad you're doing better today!! FX that things keep looking good!!

So my temp shot up this morning...I'm hoping it's because I'm on my way to being triphasic! (Wishful thinking!) I also had a BIZARRE dream this morning...we were sitting in a hot tub on a busy street with some babies and people were trying to dress the babies while in the water and I had to get out of the tub and said, "give me that baby!" and I changed the baby's clothes outside so they would be dry, then I handed it back to the lady sitting in the water who put the clothed baby back in the water and then I took the other baby and same thing happened. lol.

[fish2012]

Nope, definitely not pregnant. Negative.

Vitex can cause a delay in ovulation. I don't think you would be getting AF without clear signs of ovulation!

I did the same thing this morning, and then remembered a couple of things:

1. I'm only 6 dpo.

2. I was crushed by that chemical pg last month.

I'm not sure if I can handle the negatives or positives-then-negatives this month.

urm i stopped taking it at cd13 thou would that still be affecting it guess it could have affected the early ones but i normally get +ve opk 13-15!

urm reallly can't hack another month think we'll have a break if it doesn't happen this month so will dtd again today - good job we dropped the FR this month ;-S

Go get em tiger!!!!

[Shellbelle]

Ladies, what is a chemical pregnancy? can anyone of you explain please?

The egg and sperm did meet and tried to implant, so your body starts releasing HCG, but something goes wrong somewhere in the process. It's like a very early miscarriage -- you wouldn't even know about it unless you were testing before AF.

In my case, I had two days of faint positives, but then started spotting and over the next few days I started testing negative. AF was a couple of days later than normal, and was extremely heavy, but if I hadn't tested so early with such sensitive tests I would probably never have known I was pg at all.

[dreamingpink77]

NCBeachy, glad that your spotting stopped. Did you go to the doctor today? Any news?

[Shellbelle]

Fish, going by your temps, it doesn't look like you've o'd yet. If it's AF, it's extremely early even based on that first positive day of OPKs.

[dreamingpink77]

Thanks Shellbelle, so it's an early miscarriage. Sometimes it's better if we don't know we're pregnant before AF is due then rather than getting excited of pregnancy and then all of a sudden...puff...no baby at all! :sad: So you don't feel anything...no pain at all? Just normal AF symptoms/cramps?

[mummypink]

Congratulations 3men I can see the lines!! :D

Fish - I agree looks like you are about to O, maybe worth an extra bd? Fingers crossed for you! xx

[Shellbelle]

It was an extremely heavy AF. Like, scary heavy. But other than that, no, no excruciating pain. Just a lot of sadness.

[fish2012]

oh flipping heck ladies swaying dtd getting a little old :drama:

[dreamingpink77]

Yes it must be terrible :sad:

[NCBeachyGrl]

NCBeachy, glad that your spotting stopped. Did you go to the doctor today? Any news?

I just went and had labs done. I will get those back tomorrow and then I go back Friday to get 2nd beta...but I won't know about that one until Monday :fingers:

[dreamingpink77]

Hope everything will be ok for you!

[BeadinMom]

Shelllllllllllllllllllllllll....
I love you ;)

[BeadinMom]

Beachy, I think everything is going to be FINE :) Fingers and toes crossed anyway, but I REALLY think you're good :)

[Shellbelle]

Oh, Beadin, I love you too. So much. :)

Btw, your chart looks AWESOME.

[BeadinMom]

Thanks my girl! :)

[mummypink]

Fingers crossed NC but I think you will be fine too, sending lots of sticky bean vibes xxx

[Praying4Pink]

I did the same thing this morning, and then remembered a couple of things:

1. I'm only 6 dpo.

2. I was crushed by that chemical pg last month.

I'm not sure if I can handle the negatives or positives-then-negatives this month.

Shell my dear...I just can NOT bear to see a BFN right now. I have been thinking about our past efforts and how we shelled out so much money for 3...yes I said it 3 failed IUI's. 16 months of trying...I am really praying this will NOT be a repeat. If it is going to take me 16 months I may as well just forget it now :tissue:

[Praying4Pink]

3M I soooo see that line! It is definitely a BFP!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I am praying that this is your month, sweetie, and that you won't have to worry about anything except the next 9 (10) months and the beautiful little baby you'll have at the end.

[Shellbelle]

Okay, preggos.

I'm trying not to get excited. I swore I wouldn't symptom spot this month. BUT...

I'm having globs and globs of this yellow, creamy/sticky cm. I usually have a little bit of creamy cm at this stage, but never like this. It started yesterday, but I thought maybe it was just a fluke. But today there's no denying it. As far as amounts go, it's close to pre-o levels. No itching, no smell, so it doesn't feel like an infection.

So my question is... how many of y'all had extra cm around 6dpo?

Am I crazy? At 6dpo I shouldn't have any pregnancy related symptoms, right? Because it's 6dpo. That's pre-implantation for most people. Right???

[fish2012]

ha ha this is what i was wondering ...but apparently still not o'd!!!

sounds positive to me post o is generally quiet cm free........:fx:

For me, I'm generally pretty dry until I start spotting. Must not get my hopes up yet!

This was my only symptom! I had tons of it and still do!!!!! Fingers crossed Shell that you get a BFP!!

[suregena]

:hugs:

sorry hunny, i think maybe you've got two skinny maybe extra few pounds will sort out your cycle?

Definitely didn't get too skinny! This last cycle I was even more at ease on the diet. For perspective:

First attempt (which I actually gave up on!) I went from 118 to 103 (really bad!) but I don't count that one because I gave up (it was in Dec/Jan) before I ovulated

Second try I got down to 112, had a faint positive, began eating normal, faint positive went negative, had a REALLY heavy period... but I gained most of the weight back (crazy...)

Started at 117 and got down to 114 this last time.

I stopped the diet when we were in Berlin beginning of August (about a week after supposed ovulation) so I'm pretty much McFatty 120lbs. Ugh.

I'm trying to decide if I should skip my next cycle or just say eff it and try and just keep my diet normal but just skip breakfast most days and not snack... but drop most everything else.

We're both vegetarians as it is... I just think I have to *let go*.

[BeadinMom]

Suregena, you are HARDLY Mcfatty. LOL. I wish I was "McFatty" like that!! ;)
If I were you, I would be tempted to tell them I've been trying for a year. You seem to be in good health otherwise and this is weird. Have you had this happen before - with crazy cycles?

[Butterfly Spirit]

Another BFN on 10DPO :( I got my BFP on 10DPO when I got pregnant in May, so I'm out this month. Good Luck to the rest of you !!

It's NEVER over until AF crashes the party! My BFP was 12 dpo...

I think letting go is a good idea. At the end of the day, who's to say you'll end up with a girl anyway. The question is, do you want another baby, or a girl? I got a plan from Atomic and picked what things I would do. I didn't do Rephresh or baby aspirin. I took Vitex from af to o. I took one Zytrec the morning of my attempt and I did the diet for a little over 3 weeks. It was more than I ever did before. I know I couldn't stay on the le diet forever. You've done so much already Suregena. You should be proud of yourself!! I think you should drop all the supps and dtd girl. Skip breakfast and try to stay away from meat. That in itself is a lot more than most women do and they get girls. As Atomic has said, you can't get your dg if you don't get pregnant. Good luck to you and I really hope to see an enormous BFP in your future. :heart:

[Lassie1982]

Shell! Hoping this is it for you!! 2ww symptoms can make us go insane. I understand you not wanting to get your hopes up, that said, if you usually are very dry during the 2ww then it certainly sounds positive.
Everyone is different, me for example always have tons and tons of creamy cm in the 2ww, so it doesn't mean anything to me, but if your normally dry, and now your not, that's a complete opposite so maybe it means it's the real thing :)

Suregena, I'm in the 'let it go camp'
The top 3 things (from my understanding) is the no breakfast, no snacking, vegetarian, and I'd you can have all those boxes ticked then I think your sway is a pretty strong sway, especially considering you are coupling it with FR. I do really think that for whatever reason your body just doesn't like the confines of the LE diet and based on your cycles it's struggling to keep you functioning normally from a fertility perspective. I trully believe your best shot of getting pregnant is by sticking to the key aspects above, and just letting the rest go.
Just reassure yourself that even without the Strict LE diet you DO still have a strong sway :)
Best of luck!

TBH you only have one boy so it could be that you could quiet natuarlly be one of those pp, i do hope not cause then we might not love you quiet so much!

I would do what you've suggested tbh that's what i'll do if i do another cycle x

I know you're right. I only have 1 child after two miscarriages and want my son to have a sibling close in age. Unfortunately, he's 2 1/2 now so the longer it takes the further apart they'd be. :( so I should really just try to be healthy for a pregnancy, boy or girl, at this point.

Staying away from meat is easy because I'm already vegetarian ( and so is my husband!)

Just what I needed to hear. Makes me want to press on next cycle despite weight gained. I do wonder if we actually got lucky with our son, considering we are both vegetarians, so I'll just keep that in my mind. I have a special, lovely, beautiful boy and we'd be lucky if we ended up with another, because the one we have is so amazing and we had a lot of heartbreak with the two miscarriages before him.

You go for it Surgena! Are you still going to temp or do opks? I would just do OPKs! Whatever you decide babe, Best of Luck! :luck: :HH:

[fish2012]

Never... ever! I have alwaaaaays been regular!

maybe it's the stress, diet and forget the rest sounds good plan x

[Lassie1982]

suregena - check out this thread if you havnt already http://genderdreaming.com/forum/trying-conceive-girl/12831-who-here-went-vegetarian-got-girl.html :)

My mum has been a vegetarian all her life, 3 girls, 1 boy.
Of the 4 new female bubs at work, 3 have vegetarian mums.

I was going through a 'eating meat' stage in my life when DS was conceived.

:fx: for you hun - i reckon this can happen for you soon :)

[fish2012]

hello

so little temp up today! ugh not the spike i'd hoped for ;-(

4088

changed it to opk only mode and reccons o on day 17?! so 2dpo.........must stop obsessing ;-S

[suregena]

CD54 today. It's edging close to being my overall longest cycle to date (last month was 50 days, last attempted sway I gave up on was 55.)

Cp is super firm and low and closed. Felt like AF was on the way... have a pad on in case, but no sign yet. What's going on?! :(

[suregena]

You go for it Surgena! Are you still going to temp or do opks? I would just do OPKs! Whatever you decide babe, Best of Luck! :luck: :HH:

I'd love to do OPKs but every cycle so far I've never gotten a positive and spent a small fortune on then so far, so I feel a bit iffy even bothering using them again.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Suregena - I totally agree! Press on with the next cycle and drop everything but your normal vegetarian diet!!! Whatever is meant to be will be either way...if you sway or don't!

[pebmcpd7]

Do you take supps, because before I took supps my cycles were like yours! 50+days!!!! Hope all works out for you.. ((hugs)) XXX

[pebmcpd7]

Got another BFN this morn @11DPO!! Def out this month, my temp is starting to drop as well..:(

[fish2012]

Got another BFN this morn @11DPO!! Def out this month, my temp is starting to drop as well..:(

oh rubbish........fx just in case! it's not over till af arrives x

[Shellbelle]

Lassie, thank you!

Suregena, I agree with the others. You can't have a girl if your cycle is so messed up the you can't get pregnant. If you're on supps, I would try a month without them (except for the folic acid).

Pep, I'm sorry about the bfn. Hugs!

[Shellbelle]

Nothing new to report here today. Yet. I resisted the urge to test this morning. :) We'll see if I can hold out another day. Those new tests are calling my name, but I'm so afraid to see a stark white test. Even if it's an early one. We'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.

[suregena]

Do you take supps, because before I took supps my cycles were like yours! 50+days!!!! Hope all works out for you.. ((hugs)) XXX

I never took supps before until swaying. First sway cycle attempt in Dec that I gave up on, I used vitex ~ 55 day cycle.
Second sway cycle I took vitex again ~ 50 day cycle.

This last one I didn't use vitex and instead did soy isoflavones CD 3-5.

[mummyof3<3]

Got another BFN this morn @11DPO!! Def out this month, my temp is starting to drop as well..:(

I also got a bfn this morn at 11dpo just waiting for af to arrive on sunday :(

[Shellbelle]

Oh mummy. I'm sorry to hear that.

[Shellbelle]

I'm having some weird cramps and feeling like af is about to start. :( temp is still high, though. Just a slight dip today.

[Winngrin]

Shellbelle and Mummyof3.....hang in there! Maybe your BFPs are just shy! Fingers crossed for you!

[Shellbelle]

Thanks, winngrin! I haven't even tested yet -- it's just too early.

[genieinabottle1]

Shellbelle and Mummy..hang in there, I know it's hard. I had a temp drop today as well on CD 13 so I feel like I'm out. I had BFN just yesterday so not likely that I am preggo. This is only my second attempt but with my super-long cycles, it is frustrating.

Surgena, your cycles sound as long as mine. Mine are usually in the 35-40 range, but on Vitex it is longer by 7-10 days. I am going to reduce my dose this month from 1000 mg to 500 mg. I think it's too much for me now that I am not nursing.

[pedsrn]

This 2 ww is driving me crazy!! 8dpo, almost there lol! Good luck to you ladies in the 2ww still, congrats on bfps, and so sorry for bfns! Those of you with bfns my fx and prayers said for next month!! :fx:

Do you think it's a bad omen to be added to the bfp's for August yet? I don't want to curse myself. Thanks again NC. Can you please help me bully Shell and P4p? I think if we double team them we just might take them down!!!

[Shellbelle]

Yee-haw! :) So so so happy for you, 3men!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Does it look darker than yesterday's did?

[mummyof3<3]

L yoThanks guys im still trying to stay positive even though it seems impossible at the mo i wont be testing again untill sunday if af doesnt come ive seen way too many bfn's this week dont think i could handle anymore on the positive side i still have some "symtoms" : most noticable is heaps of cm really thick and sticky sorry tmi also very tiered yet completely unable to sleep at night also mild cramps and backache which could just be af on the way im not sure x good luck to everyone waiting to test , congrats to everyon who got a bfp :) and a maddive thankyou to you all i love coming here when im feeling down reading the good news about bfp's and everyone is so kind and supportive so thanks to you all xxx

[Shellbelle]

From here? Definitely.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

From here? Definitely.

I think you should test tomorrow. This is the second time I've had a bfp at 8 dpo. Are the ic's you have 10 miu? Oh and speaking of ic, I have yet to get mine from the slow guy!!! He said they went out 3 days ago. Ok slow guy, I believe you...

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Yee-haw! :) So so so happy for you, 3men!

Love you Shell!!!

[The Anchor]

I wonder what the record is for BFPs in a month...how many do we have now? Shouldn't we get medals or something?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Now you're talking Anchor!!! I wonder if we broke a record? That would be amazing. And we're only half way through the month!!! It's giving me goose bumps!! I'm very excited for everyone.

[Shellbelle]

4094Okay. I give in. Just tested after holding it for 3.5 hours and I swear I see the slightest faintest line. I don't even know if you can see it in the pic. I'm only 7dpo an it's only visible in natural light, and so faint I might be imagining it. It came up after 8 mins on a 10 miu test, but I might just be seeing the dent in the test because I want to see a line so bad.

See? I told you this tww is making me crazy.

[Shellbelle]

4095

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I think I see something!!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Can you take a pic in another light? I can almost make it out. NC do you see it?

[Shellbelle]

I might be able to. I'm trying to hide it from my kids though so I'm kind of stuck in the tiny bathroom lol.

[Shellbelle]

4096Here is a new one. Of course, now it's after 10 minutes so I don't even know.

[Shellbelle]

Okay, so when I scroll up and down on the iPad I do see something, even in the pics. Unless I am really going crazy.

[Lilpumpkin06]

Hey ladies! It would be interesting to see how many BFP there are this month! This is so encouraging! I have felt so sad & down today. I don't know why.....I guess hormones? I have nothing to be down about. Did you all experience this post ovulation too? I remember being a little hormonal post ovulation last cycle but can't remember if I felt like this. I had a positive OPK Monday so would that make me 3 or 4 dpo? Since you usually ovulate 24 hours after positive test. LOVE seeing these pics of BFP! :cheer:

[Shellbelle]

I have been crying over nothing for a week, so I am right there with you lilpumpkin!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Okay, so when I scroll up and down on the iPad I do see something, even in the pics. Unless I am really going crazy.

That's what I did and I def saw it. Do you have any other tests? Mayber frer?

[Lilpumpkin06]

I have been crying over nothing for a week, so I am right there with you lilpumpkin!

Ok glad I'm not the only one! I def think I see a line in your pic! Exciting!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Maybe NC can tweak this? Idk how she works her magic, but she's great at this stuff!!

[Shellbelle]

Do I have more tests? Oh honey.

My linen closet looks like a cvs pharmacy. ;)

I will add a different brand with fmu tomorrow. If its this light on an ultra sensitive Internet cheapie, I don't think I'm ready for a frer yet. I'm just praying that it's not a test dent or an early evap line or something. It's too early to test!!! Lol

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Where's Beadin???? Just stalking to see when you're testing. I don't want anyone left behind for Sept 2ww. I love you girls too much to move on without you!!! More bfp's!!!! We can do this ladies!!!

[Shellbelle]

Lol, thanks ladies. Tweak me, Beachy! Pretty please!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell I swear I had a + on frer at 6 dpo but it was extremely light. I def saw something at 7 dpo. And at 8 it was obvious. I don't like using fmu. I swear when you get up in the morning the hcg doesn't have enough time to move around in your urine...at least it sounds good to me. I'd do another one. If your closet is stacked, what's one more. Blame it on me. :shemademe: I'll be pulling my :hair: till tomorrow morning. Do you really want to do that to me??? hahahaha

As if you haven't given me enought reasons to love you, you throw in the closet full of sticks. :bighug:

I have a couple of frer, some cvs, two different brands of Internet cheapies (10 or 11 of those), and one precious clear blue digital.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I feel really good about Shell, P4p and Beadin. Come on ladies. Let's go through this journey together!!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Do you think it's a bad omen to be added to the bfp's for August yet? I don't want to curse myself.

I felt like this too and didn't want to add myself until I was 100% sure I had a true BFP. I really think you have your true BFP, but it is up to you if you want me to add! Just let me know!!!

Congrats girl!!!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I have a couple of frer, some cvs, two different Internet cheapies, and one precious clear blue digital.

Stay the hell away from the digital...lol. I would do a frer. And pee in a cup and stick it in there. I need pics...I'm dying over here!!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Lol, thanks ladies. Tweak me, Beachy! Pretty please!

Oh you know I will! I will be the August 2WW tweaker. LOL!!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

My dear, I always pee in a cup before testing. I'm a professional. ;)

Can anyone tell me what implataion bleeding is like i never had it with my others but i just went to the loo and when i wiped there was some pinkish cm on the tissue trying my very best not too get excited just incase... Anyone else have this im 11dpo tested bfn this morn this is all so confusing and such a rollercoaster of emotions xx

[mummypink]

Okay, preggos.

I'm trying not to get excited. I swore I wouldn't symptom spot this month. BUT...

I'm having globs and globs of this yellow, creamy/sticky cm. I usually have a little bit of creamy cm at this stage, but never like this. It started yesterday, but I thought maybe it was just a fluke. But today there's no denying it. As far as amounts go, it's close to pre-o levels. No itching, no smell, so it doesn't feel like an infection.

So my question is... how many of y'all had extra cm around 6dpo?

Am I crazy? At 6dpo I shouldn't have any pregnancy related symptoms, right? Because it's 6dpo. That's pre-implantation for most people. Right???

I had the exact same thing from probably around 7 or 8 dpo and still have it now, although it is starting to get a bit less. Fingers crossed for you!

I've never had it, but I'm praying this means bfp for you mummy!!!

[mummyof3<3]

Thank you 3m ive not had anymore sincs...I was determined not to poas till sunday but now debating whether to test with fmu tomorrow hmmm..

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Are you taking supps? If so, has your cycle changed at all?

[mummyof3<3]

No not been taking any supps just been doin the diet and dtd 5-1days before O

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

This is very promising. :fx:

[NCBeachyGrl]

Got my results back...Beta was 4,794 (she said indicates late 5 weeks) so I think that is good since I was just at 5 weeks yesterday and progesterone was 11.5 which is normal. I hope everything stays looking good. No spotting today except when I went…TMI….#2. Then no other time have I seen it! Would you feel OK?

[Shellbelle]

I would feel better, yes. Those numbers look good!

[BeadinMom]

Sounds PERFECT, NC!!! :) VERY happy for you!!! :)

Sooooo....I've been busy this morning....
SOMEONE....won't mention any names, but I'm pretty sure it starts with an NC and ends with a BEACHYGIRL....
recommended that I do the VIP on Fertility Friend...
Today I've been adding all my symptoms in...it gives you "pregnancy points" for symptoms. I have 15 right now...I'm trying to earn some more so I can buy myself a pregnancy. LOL.

Took a test this morning - at 8dpo - and it was a BFN. It was my Dollar Tree 25 miu test....tomorrow am, I'm going to do the IC 10miu - or do y'all think I should wait until Saturday? Oh wait....nevermind. LOL...I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow. ;)

Good luck, ladies!!!
So excited for all our new BFP mamas!! 3M, sooooo happy for you!!! ♥

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I sent you a pm. I've always had my beta's done. Yours look really good. I think they don't double every 2 to 3 days once the number gets up there.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You know better than to ask us if you should wait till Saturday. I think you should pee today...lol!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I hate fmu. I think if you test with it, you should test again around 11am or after. I couldn't believe how much darker my test was after my fmu one. And I only waited 2 hours. Good luck guys!!!

[BeadinMom]

Damnit....you've convinced me to use the IC today!!! I'll let you know in a little while!!! lol ;)

[NCBeachyGrl]

I hate fmu. I think if you test with it, you should test again around 11am or after. I couldn't believe how much darker my test was after my fmu one. And I only waited 2 hours. Good luck guys!!!

I had the same thing too!!!!!

3M&L - what have your betas been at 5 weeks? Did you ever write them down?

[fish2012]

congrats 3m this is fab news

shell yours is looking good too

hope we all get to join you guys begining to worry you might have used up all the bfps ;-0

[NCBeachyGrl]

Love ya Beadin! FF is fun to play with...have you tried to search for charts like yours? That was fun too!

Can't wait to hear about your test!! We want pics even if you think there is nothing there....I can tweak ya know! LOL!!!!

[Lassie1982]

good luck beadin!!!

oh and you won't regret the VIP FF - its tops!

[BeadinMom]

BFN....even with the 10miu. :( Think it could still be early? Or should I count myself out? I hate to have false hope. :(

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

congrats 3m this is fab news

shell yours is looking good too

hope we all get to join you guys begining to worry you might have used up all the bfps ;-0

No way fish!!! There's plenty to go around. Good luck to you...we have a record to break!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

BFN....even with the 10miu. :( Think it could still be early? Or should I count myself out? I hate to have false hope. :(

How many dpo are you? I think it's way to early. It takes the egg at least 6 days and some till the cows come home to get to that uterus. I know the - sucks, but by no means does this mean your out. Everyone is different so what one gets at 8 dpo another will get at 12 -13 dpo. Keep peeing every day and we'll keep :cheerteam:!!

[Lassie1982]

Hang in there shell!! Hoping it turns BFP for you super quick! Im useless at spotting lines early so i can't see anything, but I'm hopeless at that sort of thing
:fx:

[BeadinMom]

Thanks 3M&1L....
You're the best ♥

[Lassie1982]

BFN....even with the 10miu. :( Think it could still be early? Or should I count myself out? I hate to have false hope. :(

Honestly? you are not out, if implant only happened on 9dpo or 10dpo then even the 10mui wouldn't have picked it up.

Keep an eye on your temps, if they continue to head downwards then probably no point testing :( If they go upwards though - it a good sign of a BFP!

Best of luck chick - really hope this is the month for you - never lose hope :flowerz:

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Lassie!!! ♥
I hope we're due date buddies together soon :)

[Shellbelle]

4097 Another very faint almost can't see it maybe my eyes are playin tricks on me line. This is a target brand early response test. I just couldn't bring myself to use an frer.

And ICK I need to wipe down the window sill.

[Shellbelle]

Beadin, you're only 8dpo right? No way does that mean you're out.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Love ya Beadin! FF is fun to play with...have you tried to search for charts like yours? That was fun too!

Can't wait to hear about your test!! We want pics even if you think there is nothing there....I can tweak ya know! LOL!!!!

She can Beadin...I've seen her. There's not much NC can't do with a stick and a computer. And let's not forget phones too.

[BeadinMom]

LOL!! Yeah....not much to tweak on this one. Sorry :(

Yes, Shell, I'm 8dpo. I am going to hold out until Sat. I'll be 10 dpo.

[NCBeachyGrl]

Shell - I tried to tweak, but not sure I can make anything out. Babycenter said they only tweak the pink dye tests. Maybe they are harder to show up or something!

4098

[Shellbelle]

Thank you for trying!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

GET THE FRER SHELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I have a frer and two different ICs ready to go for tomorrow morning. Lol

[Lilpumpkin06]

I'm so lost on the abbreviations in this forum. What is IC, FRER? There are more I saw here but can't remember at the moment.

[BeadinMom]

Internet cheapie = cheap opk or cheap home pregnancy test
FRER = first response early response home pregnancy test

Hope that helps! :) And that we all see a POSITIVE IC or FRER soon!!

[Shellbelle]

The other one you saw was probably FMU - first mornings urine.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

How's this for abbreviations...Shell better get a bfp with fmu on an ic or frer tomorrow morning!!!! Can't wait to read a post from you.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm so lost on the abbreviations in this forum. What is IC, FRER? There are more I saw here but can't remember at the moment.

It does take a bit to learn the lingo, but before you know it you'll be using some of these abbreviatons in the real world. I do it all the time. :giggle:

[Rosie85]

Yup...I hate when the internet lingo enters into my daily real world life...it just happens! haha.

[BeadinMom]

How's this for abbreviations...Shell better get a bfp with fmu on an ic or frer tomorrow morning!!!! Can't wait to read a post from you.


What SHE said!!! ;)

[Winngrin]

COME ON LADIES!!!!! Im expecting some BFPs in the morning!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

How many dpo are you? I think it's way to early. It takes the egg at least 6 days and some till the cows come home to get to that uterus. I know the - sucks, but by no means does this mean your out. Everyone is different so what one gets at 8 dpo another will get at 12 -13 dpo. Keep peeing every day and we'll keep :cheerteam:!!

Yes, my BFP was 12 dpo on a $1 test!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Got my results back...Beta was 4,794 (she said indicates late 5 weeks) so I think that is good since I was just at 5 weeks yesterday and progesterone was 11.5 which is normal. I hope everything stays looking good. No spotting today except when I went…TMI….#2. Then no other time have I seen it! Would you feel OK?

Oh that's VERY good Beachy! Maybe it was just left over IB. :D My doc was happy with my 2,200 something beta and said that would be high enough to prob see something on a U/S! Are you going to get to go in and see a heartbeat?

[Butterfly Spirit]

Can anyone tell me what implataion bleeding is like i never had it with my others but i just went to the loo and when i wiped there was some pinkish cm on the tissue trying my very best not too get excited just incase... Anyone else have this im 11dpo tested bfn this morn this is all so confusing and such a rollercoaster of emotions xx

Sounds good to me! My first preg it was just a smear of old blood. The second was a huge smear of reddish brown blood. And with my current pregnancy there was pink and all shades of blood the first week of my BFP. I always have IB.
I would test in a couple days with a $1 test and see what happens! Best of luck! :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

4094Okay. I give in. Just tested after holding it for 3.5 hours and I swear I see the slightest faintest line. I don't even know if you can see it in the pic. I'm only 7dpo an it's only visible in natural light, and so faint I might be imagining it. It came up after 8 mins on a 10 miu test, but I might just be seeing the dent in the test because I want to see a line so bad.

See? I told you this tww is making me crazy.

I think I see something! Barely barely there, but there! Can't wait for tmw!

[Butterfly Spirit]

I'd love to do OPKs but every cycle so far I've never gotten a positive and spent a small fortune on then so far, so I feel a bit iffy even bothering using them again.

Oh gosh, I didn't know that. Did you test like 3xs a day 4 hours apart!? ;) You won't miss the surge that way! I never did. I had like 100 cheapie ovulation tests from ebay though so it worked out.

[Praying4Pink]

Just peeking from under my chair to say that you ladies are my sunshine! Cracking up on these conversations. 2 more days till testing...3M stay away from me with that pee stick! I'm STILL not coming out :hide:

Btw I haven't forgotten about you all...just utterly consumed with packing. Uggh

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You're starting to look very uncomfortable under there. Your face is turning blue!! You probably need to go to the bathroom too. Just saying...

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell...where are you???? I hope you're in the bathroom, a stick in one hand and a cup in the other.

[NCBeachyGrl]

3M&AL's very obvious BFP pic! So happy for you!!!! It is definitely getting darker!!!!!!!!

yeashy yeahy 3m&l congrats xx

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Not to get off the subject of the 2 ww, but I have to vent for a minute. All 4 of my kids have hand, foot and mouth. The baby is having the toughest time with it. He's been miserable for days. My oldest also has an ear infection. And to top it all off, he was swimming yesterday and fell off the ladder and banged his mouth on the side of the pool, chipping his front tooth. Oh, and my dh came home from work saying he may lose his second job because he's getting there too late. His first job is in Boston and he is stuck in traffic every day. Really??? And he doesn't know I'm pregnant yet!!!!

[dreamingpink77]

Congrats 3Men, that's definately a BFP! :cheerteam:

[dreamingpink77]

Oh, so sorry about your kids, and your DH, hope he won't lose his job especially now. Are you gonna tell him yet?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Not yet. He's talking to his boss tonight and hopefully he'll be able to get there a little earlier. I think I'll tell him sometime next week. I think he has an idea. He keeps talking about it.

[Shellbelle]

4111Well I peed on 3 tests today. ;) One of the ICs (the less sensitive one!) has a faint line. I don't know if you can see it in the pic (didn't do any tweaking yet). The more sensitive IC also has a line, but in this light the dent is so obvious that I'm not considering it. Both came up within a 5 minute timeframe. The frer looks lone-free to me. :( Maybe I have defective IC tests? It's still too dark out to check in natural light.

[Shellbelle]

4113frer :( which tells me it's either too early or I'm not pg.

[dreamingpink77]

Good luck 3Men! I think I wouldn't be able to keep it for myself, not even for a few minutes! :giggle:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell, I think I see something on the frer that isn't sideways. I know it's prob the same test.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

NC do you see something? I think I do!!!

[Shellbelle]

Yes, it's the same test. I'm just posting from my phone so everything is hard to control.

[fish2012]

4113frer :( which tells me it's either too early or I'm not pg.

they do look kinda negative to me but tehre's still time it's not over till af arrives fx for you x

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell, can you hold your pee and use a frer again in a few hours?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Yes, it's the same test. I'm just posting from my phone so everything is hard to control.

It's so tough to see anything with phones. I could see lines that nobody could see when I took a pic of them.
