August 2WW!

[Shellbelle]

Lol I don't think I can stand the disappointment. I was pretty confident after yesterday. I know it's still early but I think the IC lines might be fakers.

I'm weirdly crampy today with a little nausea, just like before af starts, so I can't go by symptoms either. Temps are still up though. I should start by Tuesday if af is coming, and I usually start spotting at 10 dpo.

[Shellbelle]

I don't see a line at all on the frer in person.

[Shellbelle]

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!!!!

Oh, 3m, I'm so sorry that everything has gotten so stressful! You're in my prayers this week. And your test made me so happy! That's a great line!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell, maybe it's my computer then, but I cleaned the screen off (it wasn't dirty anyway) and I still see something. Not trying to get your hopes up...

[Shellbelle]

Oh, thank you sweetie! You're always my biggest cheerleader, and I can't tell you how much that means to me. :hug2:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I want this for you sooooooooooooooo much!!! You're one of the sweetest ladies I've never met.

[Shellbelle]

I want this for you sooooooooooooooo much!!! You're one of the sweetest ladies I've never met.

Oh, now that made me cry. :) Thank you! I love you 3m!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I just sent NC a pm. I want another set of eyes on that stick...backup eyes!!! lol

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Oh, now that made me cry. :) Thank you! I love you 3m!

I got watery eyes when I read yours too!! Love you too Shell. I'm confussed about ic's. What's their time limit? And do they have a lot of issues? I never really use them.

[Shellbelle]

Their time limit is 10 minutes, and I don't know about the faultiness. And I'm sure there was a line on that target test yesterday that came up well within the safe zone. I still have it lol. I just don't know what to think.

I literally laughed out loud at the backup eyes comment. :)

Maybe I will test again late this afternoon.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I really think you should. I was so upset when I peed a few mornings ago. I used fmu and the line looked lighter than the test the afternoon before. I peed a few hours later and I couldn't believe how much darker it was. I think the hcg settles at the bottom of our bladder when we sleep. It needs to move around...sounds good, right!

[Lilpumpkin06]

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!!
Thank you so much!!!

[Lilpumpkin06]

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

Thank you!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I couldn't make out a line on any of the tests. I REALLY want to see a line so bad.. come on Shell...we need more tests! LOL! Let's go ShellBelle let's go!

:cheerteam:

[pedsrn]

Well I'm 9dpo and did a fmu frer....bfn!

[BeadinMom]

I'm 9 dpo, too, Peds...BFN for me, too...
Still early though, so don't lose hope!! Xx

[Shellbelle]

Hang in there, ladies! How are y'all feeling this morning?

[Shellbelle]

I'm running to the bathroom every time I stand up this morning because it feels like Af has started, but it's just all the creamy cm. lol. This ttc thing really is making me crazy.

[NCBeachyGrl]

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?

Thanks Butterfly! What was your progesterone level when they put you on supplements? I have tried so hard to get my appointment moved up but they are so booked up they couldn't move it. So, I have to wait for my 8 week u/s on Sept. 5th. Seems like sooooo far away. I went for another beta and progesterone check this AM and I will find out results on Monday. No more spotting so staying optimistic!

[BeadinMom]

My breasts are so sore!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Shell - that creamy CM is a good sign!

I have fingers and toes crossed for all you ladies for more BFPs!!!!

[Wishing4Pink]

Congrats threemenandalady :flowerz:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Beadin, :agree: for sore boobs!!! Shell, :agree: for creamy cm.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

8 bfp's this month already. I'd love to see at least 4 or 5 more. We have a few couple of weeks left!!!!

[Shellbelle]

Atomic posted pics of Suzy! She's gorgeous! Oh, now I *really* want this creamy cm to be a sign lol!

Beadin, FX for your sore bbs! :)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Shell - that creamy CM is a good sign!

I have fingers and toes crossed for all you ladies for more BFPs!!!!

And I'll cross my eyes again. Don't wait too long ladies, they might get stuck like that...lol.

[auroara78]

Atomic posted pics of Suzy! She's gorgeous! Oh, now I *really* want this creamy cm to be a sign lol!

Beadin, FX for your sore bbs! :)

Yep I got all choked up when I saw pics of Atomic's so adorable little girl...and I was thinking 'I want one too!!' and then the baby kicked me in the ribs, and I thought...'doh, I'm getting one soon...but I want to meet her right this second!!' LOL

Beadin, FX your chart looks amaaazzzing! I still have hope for you!! And thx for the comment about the boys--they are taking so many dang cute pics lately, and instead of giving me his blank "huh? what is that thing that's pointed at my face look" DS2 is starting to smile really big for camera now! The pic currently is my DS1 sporting an '80s Flock of Seagulls hairdo!! I believe someone else said the boys were cute too, but can't remember, cuz I had to catch up on this crazy fast moving thread!! but thank you :)

Shell, I think i can see a really faint line on the IC, but not really on the FRER...I still have a GREAT feeling for you and I think you'll see a BFP!!

P4P, lol, you crack me up...I don't think you'll able to hide under the chair for much longer!!

As always, this thread rocks!

[mummyof3<3]

12dpo and got another bfn this morn :( still feel crampy backachd and absoloutely heaps of cm today very thick and creamy wish id just get a bfp or af to hurry up this has been the longest 2ww ever .. Good luck to everyone else Fx

[Shellbelle]

Okay, so maybe 3m is right about the fmu theory. I swear I see the faintest of faint lines on this frer. I don't think you can see it in the pic. You can barely see it in real life. But it's here at 4 minutes after dipping.

Maybe I'm crazy. I can't get an extra set of eyes (backup eyes) in real life cause of the kids.

4123

[Shellbelle]

Maybe I'm imagining it. Ugh!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I think I see something too! I altered the pic a little...

4124

[Shellbelle]

Okay, in your tweaked pic I can see it better. I should never be allowed to test early! I'm so worried that it's all in my head!

Thanks, Beachy!

[NCBeachyGrl]

I can't wait to see tomorrow's pic!!

[suregena]

After today, I will officially have my longest cycle ever! Good grief! I've been feeling like AF should be here for over a week now. Get on with it already! Grrrr. :(

[BeadinMom]

I think I see it, too!! :) Woohoo, Shell!!

Auroara, thank you SO much for checking out my chart!!! I woke up this morning sweating my butt off...I'm hoping it was hormones surging :)
And I am LOVING the Flock of Seagulls look...LOL....as a 40 yr old who still misses the '80's, I totally dig it!!! ;)
Your boys are precious AND you're getting your girl...I hope I'm that lucky soon!!! Xx

[NCBeachyGrl]

Suregena - I really think you should make a dr. appt and tell them what is going on so they can get your cycle moving to back on track! I am so sorry you are having so many problems!!!!

[Shellbelle]

Woohoo, Beadin! Look at that rise!!!

[Wishing4Pink]

I'm sure i could see something too when i looked at your pic shellbelle, fx

[Shellbelle]

Thank you, wishing4pink! I'm starting to feel like I should have my eyes (or head) examined. ;)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I told you guys I saw something this morning!!! I def see a line Shell!!!! Fmu sucks!! That's a bfp my friend!!!!

[Shellbelle]

I told you guys I saw something this morning!!! I def see a line Shell!!!! Fmu sucks!! That's a bfp my friend!!!!

Thank you! I wish I could believe it myself! :) It's just so so so faint in real life that I really could be imagining it. With all my heart, I hope you're right!

[Shellbelle]

So, I downloaded Beachy's tweak, and there's actually some color there. Girl, how do you do that?

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Thank you! I wish I could believe it myself! :) It's just so so so faint in real life that I really could be imagining it. With all my heart, I hope you're right!
Shell, at 6 dpo I swear I saw something. At 7 I know I did, but it was so light I thought me eyes were playing tricks on me. At 8 there was no denying the line. And today at 11 dpo it's almost as dark as the control line. Your hcg is just starting to build...open that closet up my dear. Please don't pee with fmu tomorrow, wait a few hours after and test again. I guarantee a darker line. A line is a line no matter how light it is. I KNEW THIS WAS YOUR MONTH!!!!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks my Shell!! I really, REALLY hope it means something!!
I'm so excited for you!!! :)

I love downloading to countdown and watching ppl vote! I can see the line with the invert option!!! All I do is mess with contrast to make it darker or brighter to get the line to show better. I bet you get a good line tomorrow!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Beadin, I don't know anything about charting, but I know a lot about stalking. You and p4p are next on my list. I'm praying for your bfp and will stalk until it happens. Your uterus better be occupied by the end of the weekend...OR ELSE!!!

[BeadinMom]

LOL!!! I'm working on it, sister!!! ;)
Good gracious...this BETTER be it, because if it isn't, there's something wrong with my bbs!!!

[Shellbelle]

I'm praying I do, too! Can't stand the waiting!

[pedsrn]

You ladies crack me up!! I don't even know any of you and you make me feel so much better!! As a newbie it's reassuring to see so many women come together! I think I will test tomorrow too and NOT use fmu. I will be stalking everyone else in the meantime lol! :cheerteam::pinksperm::fx::noaf:

[BeadinMom]

Woohooo!!! I bought myself some more pregnancy points on Fertility Friend today!! I have 24 now...I think I need at least 70 before it will let me buy a pregnancy!!! lol ;) hehe...I don't know why, but that totally cracks me up!!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beadin - your chart is looking pretty awesome!!!

[Shellbelle]

Woohooo!!! I bought myself some more pregnancy points on Fertility Friend today!! I have 24 now...I think I need at least 70 before it will let me buy a pregnancy!!! lol ;) hehe...I don't know why, but that totally cracks me up!!

I think of you every time I look at mine. 33 today, btw. :) I bet everyone gets a positive hpt before they get enough points. Even with every symptom in the book, I think my highest ever was 56.

[BeadinMom]

Thanks NC!!! I really, REALLY hope it means something. I just really want a baby in my belly!!!

[Winngrin]

Shellbelle that is exactly what mine looked like when I "thought" I saw something!!!! I see it on yours! Hoping for a darker one for you tomorrow!

[fish2012]

Thanks NC!!! I really, REALLY hope it means something. I just really want a baby in my belly!!!

me three ;-0

[Jadis]

Hey ladies! Can I join you? I've got a question I'd love your help with...is it possible to have morning sickness in the 2ww? I tossed my cookies this morning and have felt queesy all day. Could this be a sign or should I avoid the restaurant I ate at yesterday?

[Jadis]

Oh, I forgot to say that I'm only 7DPO...seems way too early to me. Unless (gasp) there's 2 cooking in there.

[BeadinMom]

Personally? I think ANYTHING is possible!! :)
And welcome!!

[Shellbelle]

I can't answer your question, Jadis, but welcome!

[Jadis]

Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies! It's exciting to be in the 2ww but it's just as brutal as everyone warned me. I'm over-analysing every little twinge-driving myself crazy! I even took a test this morning, I'm only 7DPO and it was a BFN-I'm not overly surprised, it would be too early to show up anyways. I just couldn't resist the temptation to poas.

[Shellbelle]

You'll fit right in here. ThreeMenAndALady will make you poas tomorrow morning, too. Just you wait. :)

I'm 8 dpo and Beadin is 9, so we're right there with you.

[BeadinMom]

What Are The Early Signs Of Pregnancy Before A Missed Period? (http://www.womens-health-advice.com/questions/pregnancy-before-missed-period.html)

[Jadis]

thanks, Beadin! That was interesting.

[Lilpumpkin06]

Yes! Thank u Beadin! When is the earliest I should POAS? I got a positive OPK Monday night. It is now Friday night so would that make me 3dpo? Since I guess I o'd 24 hours after test.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You'll fit right in here. ThreeMenAndALady will make you poas tomorrow morning, too. Just you wait. :)

I'm 8 dpo and Beadin is 9, so we're right there with you.

I have been known to make people pee on a stick. Jadis I got a bfp at 8 dpo. I saw it at 7 dpo too, but couldn't photograph it. My point is this...you're 8 dpo tomorrow and you need to pee again!! And then you need to take a pic of it, and put it on here so we can obsess over it...lol. Welcome and hope you get a bfp soon. If you don't I have a tendancy to stalk too. So it's probably better for you to just get a bfp because I can be a handful. hahaha

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Yes! Thank u Beadin! When is the earliest I should POAS? I got a positive OPK Monday night. It is now Friday night so would that make me 3dpo? Since I guess I o'd 24 hours after test.

You should start testing tomorrow!!!! Just kidding. I started at 6 dpo but I'm ridiculous. I would say 8 and beyone. Good luck to you.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

You'll fit right in here. ThreeMenAndALady will make you poas tomorrow morning, too. Just you wait. :)

I'm 8 dpo and Beadin is 9, so we're right there with you.

Just when I think I couldn't love you any more your write something like this!!! :rofl:

[BeadinMom]

Well....I just sent my DH to the Dollar Tree for 6 more tests. LOL. I really wanted more, but didn't want him to think I was completely INSANE.
I took TWO tests today....both BFN. I'm peeing like crazy though, so I figured why not? LOL
:( Disappointing to see that blank white strip though. I hope I have better luck tomorrow!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Ok, you've gone and done it again too!!! Love the insanity that is Beadin. What a great dh you have. Keep peeing. You've got a lot of reasons to be optomistic. Good luck.

[BeadinMom]

LOL ThreeMen&ALady!!! :) You've rubbed off on me, sister!!! ♥

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beadin - I want to see pics...even if it is a BFN....ya never know, my tweaking skills could show something!!

[BeadinMom]

Sadly, no...it's definitely a BFN. If I get anything questionable, I will definitely let you tweak it though!!! Xx

[Praying4Pink]

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...

Yes 3M I cannot tell a lie! I am a bit squished under this chair, lol.
CONGRATS on your BFP 3m!!!!!!!

[Jadis]

You guys are a riot! I like you already....and I'm totally peeing on a stick tomorrow morning. I've been convinced!

[Winngrin]

Welcome Jadis!! I'm also fairly new here but these ladies are the best! Good luck to you!

[Winngrin]

I just thought I'd share with you ladies the new cheer that my closest girlfriend has been chanting to me for the last 3 days....she thinks its hysterical!

We want a V
Not a P
Go team V
Not team P
One little V
Dont be a P!

Gotta admit, its kinda catchy
:kissy:

[BeadinMom]

LOL Winngrin!!!

[bythestream]

Hi all im just starting the tww I think, first attempt last night. Not convinced I ovulated as it was early but I had the temp drop then rise and EWCM.

[fish2012]

i have puked up two meals in the last week for no obvious reason i don't know if it's a sign but sickness sways pink so good either way!

welcome jadis

[fish2012]

so the marathon is over!

ff has finally given me cross lines yeahy for cd16 2 days later than my usual! so i'm 5 dpo today!

fx to join the bfp party,

[HopeandDreamG]

I have been known to make people pee on a stick. Jadis I got a bfp at 8 dpo. I saw it at 7 dpo too, but couldn't photograph it. My point is this...you're 8 dpo tomorrow and you need to pee again!!

So it's probably better for you to just get a bfp because I can be a handful. hahaha

HYSTERICAL!!!

[Lilpumpkin06]

I had a SLIGHT wave of nausea yesterday & right now have a little headache with nausea. I could be sick or could it be.....? Too early probably though. Makes me kinda excited though! Lol!

[Shellbelle]

I'm going out of town today and I know it's going to drive 3m crazy, because I'm not going to be able to test 4times a day. :) I did test this morning -- not fmu as I was up with the baby at 5:15 -- but I only held it for like an hour so I don't know. I don't think I see anything but I am too tired to really scrutinize the test, lol. I'll post a pic in a bit.

[Jadis]

threemen-I peed on a stick aaaaaaaannnnddd....bfn. I think I'll give it a few more days. I'm not feeling nauseous anymore, I really want this to be my month!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

[Shellbelle]

4128I don't see anything on this. Maybe yesterday was a fluke.

[Winngrin]

Shellbelle......what dpo are you?

[Shellbelle]

Plus, serious cramps, back ache, and wet feeling. It feels like Af is starting.

[Shellbelle]

9 dpo

[Jadis]

oh, I hope AF isn't starting for you! I'm crossing my fingers and toes.

[BeadinMom]

9 dpo is still SO early!!

I tested today, 10dpo and another BFN....buuuuuuut my boobies are still SO sore and I have been having back pain, hip pain, stuffy nose, heartburn (never get this), cramps off and on, bloated. I don't know what to think. I hope it's just too early.

ON a good note, I bought myself some more points toward a pregnancy!!! I now have 32!!! WOOHOO!! LOL!! ;)

[Shellbelle]

Lol, Beadin, you rock. :) GL with all those points!

[NCBeachyGrl]

Beadin - your chart is way up there!!! That has to be a good sign!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Beachy Babe!!! :)

I know they say that vitex can make your bbs sore, but could that possibly continue after you stop? I stopped it at O.

Also, i bought myself some more points, I went to my handwritten calendar I record everything in and added some symptoms I had there!!! WOOHOOO! More prego points!!! I HAVE 48 NOW!!! ;) I'm gonna have me a baby in no time!!!! hehehehe

[Shellbelle]

It looks like a pg chart to me. :)

[BeadinMom]

Aww....thanks my Shell!! :) I really hope so!! Xx
I hope we all just relocate over to the BFP thread!! Infact, could someone just change the name of this thread to the August BFPS??? That would be awesome!! ♥

[BeadinMom]

Shell...
Was just looking at this and thought of you!!

When To Take A Pregnancy Test | Countdown to Pregnancy (http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/when-to-take-a-pregnancy-test.php)

Still too early!! :) Your BFP is coming...I hope mine is, too!! ;)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

4128I don't see anything on this. Maybe yesterday was a fluke.

You're probably going to think I'm insane, but I SEE A LINE!!!! I see it better than the one I saw yesterday morning. Are you peeing again anytime soon?

[suregena]

AF here.

[BeadinMom]

AF here.

Surgena, I am so sorry, but glad that you're finally able to get moving forward. I hope this month is yours. Xx

[fish2012]

AF here.

what cr*p news....so annoyed for you ;-(
I'd lighten up your sway plan sweets x

[cape grace]

Hi girls
i am now in the 2ww - have been swaying since may and on diet since feb.
i have lost lots of weight and doing the le diet. i stopped vitex and sp for this cycle as it was messing my cycles up but i still had an extra long cycle this month - ov on day 27. i used sylk with every attempt. dh did fr and took lic root and cranberry and no red meat since feb for him. We bd through ov and twice on one day! Big effort for dh who found it really reduced his sperm amount so i am worried about that...i think thats about it. i took acidophilis and folic as well as low dose asprin. what ye think? Will i get a poss this month? I feel i cant keep up diet for too much longer..i look like a little skeleton :-)

[fish2012]

Any idea what miu the fr rapid result test is? Peeonastick doesn't know.

ha ha don't even understand the question!

[BeadinMom]

No, 3Men&1Lady... no idea. I know the New Choice Dollar Tree is 25miu. And I just took another one and got another BFN. :(
I'm driving myself CRAZY!!! :(

[BeadinMom]

When can I expect a positive HPT if I am pregnant? (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/When-can-I-expect-a-positive-HPT-if-I-am-pregnant.html) <--- trying to make myself feel better. LOL!! ;(

[suregena]

Surgena, I am so sorry, but glad that you're finally able to get moving forward. I hope this month is yours. Xx

If this month is mine - it will definitely be a boy! I've been eating like a Queen. Okay, eating a lot of junk and showing it on the scale. :/ *shakes it off* But obviously the swaying diet is just too much and can just continuously see how it's been affecting my cycles. I must have just been on the realm of normal before. I mean, I had two miscarriages before my son and my son was conceived during a particularily pig out time and right after the second miscarriage. I wonder if the two things helped me make a healthy baby. :/ I can wonder but I'm hoping once I do get a positive test that is an obvious positive, that it will be a healthy and sticky one and I don't have to go through miscarriages. Time is starting to drag now...

This period I've passed some grey tissue so far? What the hell is that about?! :/

It was minimal, but I definitely noticed it.

I don't think it's anything, but it is unusual for me to see.

Edit to add: I think the grey is just part of my lining. I found an entry posted on a livejournal from years ago with girls sharing photos. Wow, crazy! Maybe the soy helped my lining be thick, hence the tissue. Maybe I should use it again...

[BeadinMom]

Suregena, I would contact my doctor if I were you....that's very strange.
At this point, are you still set on girl? I think most of us boy moms are wrapped very tight - which certainly doesn't help when swaying. We worry about every little thing.
I think you definitely need a break from the diet. It's kind of like Atomic always says, you can't conceive your DG if you can't conceive a baby.
BUT, at least AF is here and you can move forward!! ♥

[pebmcpd7]

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

It sucks does'nt it!! See ya next month!!

[Jadis]

time is crawling here! How can I only be 8dpo?? I am slowly going crazy 123456 switch. Crazy going slowly am I 654321 switch.

Okay, eating a lot of junk and showing it on the scale. :/ *shakes it off* But obviously the swaying diet is just too much and can just continuously see how it's been affecting my cycles. I must have just been on the realm of normal before. I mean, I had two miscarriages before my son and my son was conceived during a particularily pig out time and right after the second miscarriage. I wonder if the two things helped me make a healthy baby. :/ I can wonder but I'm hoping once I do get a positive test that is an obvious positive, that it will be a healthy and sticky one and I don't have to go through miscarriages. Time is starting to drag now...

This period I've passed some grey tissue so far? What the hell is that about?! :/

It was minimal, but I definitely noticed it.

I don't think it's anything, but it is unusual for me to see.

Edit to add: I think the grey is just part of my lining. I found an entry posted on a livejournal from years ago with girls sharing photos. Wow, crazy! Maybe the soy helped my lining be thick, hence the tissue. Maybe I should use it again...


Onwards and upwards into a pregnant cycle!!!!!

Just wanted to say i noticed that my discharge was different this AF - it was my first cycle on soy isoflavones. Ive had greyish discharge too. My ultrasound results showed an echo of 9mm on cd 26, the dr commented this was a really good lining build up, will be taking the soy again this month :)

Best of luck to you suregena :)

[Lassie1982]

Beadin - :fx: you still get your positive, and everyone else swell :)

[Lilpumpkin06]

For the ladies with the BFP's, when did you notice an increase in CM in 2WW? I had a lot this week after BD, but it has decreased today. Just curious....

Wish I knew if I had a BFP so I could eat! I'm looking gaunt. I have a list of foods I can't wait to have again! Lol! I did have a couple spoonfuls of oven potato wedges covered in olive oil, ranch & melted cheese.....and few pieces of milk chocolate. Oops! :oops: I was starving! I guess if I am preggo the gender is already determined & I didn't mess that up since I'm 4 or 5 dpo. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up! :worry:

[Jadis]

I hope I'm pregnant this cycle because the diet is right out the window for me! I've been stuffing my face like a crazy woman! Potatoes, red meat, sweets...you name it, I've been shovelling it into my pie hole.

[BeadinMom]

Lassie, you are too sweet!!! Thank you!! :) I was soooooo happy to hear your update that everything looks good!!! I hope we both move on as due date buddies together!! Xx

[Lilpumpkin06]

Silly question.....can we DTD with a condom during the 2 ww? I'm about 4dpo.

[BeadinMom]

I think you can do it without a condom if you really want, too. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters once you hit the 2WW.
Good luck!! :)

[Winngrin]

Jadis, thanks a lot!!! I havent sung that song thingy since I was about 15 and now I will be singing it in my head every hour! Its like that ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang song!

[Lilpumpkin06]

We were just trying one attempt our first month so that is why we would use a condom. I just didn't want to mess with pH or implantation. We had our attempt Monday night so if it was going to be fertilized it would be by now right? Implantation isn't until 6-11 dpo right?

I didn't have any after 3dpo, and I still don't. Cm was not a symptom for me this time. I swear the le diet changed everything.

[Fl-Mom-x3boys]

I am a 2WW thread stalker trying to conceive my much wanted little girl. Really was hoping that this month would be mine so I could add to all the BFP's. Unfortunately AF arrived and I am out. I am going to strive to lose some weight before my next attempt in November. You guys have been so entertaining with all the POAS jokes. Thanks for helping to make me smile :-):flowerz:

[Lassie1982]

hey beadin - I'm certainly no expert but that chart of yours is starting to look very triphasic!!!

[fish2012]

Oh my gosh so pleased you are all cheating too last two mornings i've had to eat breaky i've felt sooooo sick, i guess the die is set now so hoping it doesn't matter.............lots of cm here too but temp not v high so not too hopefull ;-(


although think thermoter maybe broken i took 3 in a row yesterday am and gor 97.3, 97.5 and 97.6 hmmmmm amazon cheapy any eccomendations ladies?

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Lassie, but my temp dipped a bit this morning...I'm so sad. My breasts are tender still (that never happens to me except in pregnancy) & I still have dull cramps, back pain, hot flashes, etc...which I guess could also be signs AF is coming, although if that is the case, it certainly happened very early. I don't know what to think! Could the Vitex cause this even though I stopped it at O?
Another BFN this morning at 11 dpo...I really think I'm out. :(

Thanks for checking out my chart...it really does mean a lot. Maybe it'll happen next month. Xx

[Praying4Pink]

Well ladies I was going to crawl from under my chair to test tomorrow morning but unfortunately no need because AF arrived right on time. On to September :tissue:

DISLIKE!!!! Are you ok p4p?

[BeadinMom]

So sorry, P4P...
Next month will be ours. Maybe taking a little longer to conceive will increase our chances of having girls...we can hope, right? Xx
Thinking of you.

[HopeandDreamG]

Sorry P4P...So dissappointing...

[BeadinMom]

Hey Hope & Dream!
How are you??

[Praying4Pink]

DISLIKE!!!! Are you ok p4p?

Yes I am ok 3M, just disappointed and slightly :worry:
Thanks for the support 3M...it means more than you know!

[Praying4Pink]

I sure hope so Beadin! :hugs: to you!

Thanks Hope :kiss:

[HopeandDreamG]

Hey Hope & Dream!
How are you??

Hi! I am doing good. Sorry to see you were out this month too. I was just going to post to say hi to you too. I am CD6 today. Trying to decide if I should take estradial. I take clomid. and the estradial (that can sway boy) helps with the lining so conception is more likely. I really don't know what to do.... Need to make my decision by CD8. Think you may know my story~ trying since November, BFN's all through the winter and then spring. Was really sick with crohns disease (thus why I wasn't conceiving). I am in remission now and given the clear to ttc again. But I've dropped frequent, no jellies (bc of the clomid). Last month was a break and I gained weight back not doing the diet, but have lost again and continue to basically eat nothing. Just trying to balance getting preggie and swaying!

[mummypink]

So sorry P4P, really hope next month is your turn for a BFP xx

[Jadis]

Sorry P4P, good luck next month!

[Lilpumpkin06]

So sorry P4P!

[Lilpumpkin06]

Anyone else's sense of smell crazy right now? I'm smelling EVERYTHING. Paper smelled gross to me today. I'd be glad to get a BFP but worry a bit because it's only 1st try & that would mean we are really fertile which sways blue. Ugh! I think I'm over thinking everything & going over & over my sway. If I am preggo I want my girl sooooo badly.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I'm a bit worried about that too Lilpumpkin. I got pregnant by dtd just once at + opk. On the flip side, my friend just found out she's having a girl dtd once too. She wasn't ttc so it was a shock.

[Winngrin]

So sorry to hear AF arrived for Surgena and p4p, really hoping you ladies get your bfp next month!

LilPumpkin, my cm actually didnt really change during the 2ww. It has started to increase a bit in the last day or 2, but not by much and I am 18dpo. Also, if you had your attempt on Monday there egg was either fertilized or not. Dtd now wont change or effect that.....so have at it!!

[fish2012]

Well ladies I was going to crawl from under my chair to test tomorrow morning but unfortunately no need because AF arrived right on time. On to September :tissue:

Isn't that the HARDEST thing EVER?! It's just to be such a perfect balance! I think you should post the question to Atomic, but if I were you, I'd go for it. You've done so much to sway already with the diet & Clomid, I really think you'd have a GREAT chance at a girl anyway!
I am SO GLAD you're back on track and that things are looking up for you now. You have a plan!! :) So exciting!! One of my closest girlfriends has Crohn's and she amazes me every day....you guys are super strong ladies ♥
And I'm also very glad you're back...now don't go anywhere!! ;) lol

[HopeandDreamG]

Thank you beadin. I really appreciate it! I decided to take it. Atomic and I have been discussing and she feels strongly I need to take it. Sometimes I go off line for a few days when I find myself getting really sad. I'm good now and will be sticking here with you!

[BeadinMom]

SO glad you got that straightened out :) and you can feel confident about your plan. I think that's a big part of the battle!
And GOOD...I'm glad you're back. No getting sad! We're on the right track now. :)
Even though it didn't work out for me this month, I'm grateful to know that I'll be in good company next month with you and several other lovely ladies! :)

[fish2012]

who knows why i am posting this on here ;-s

to test or not to test 7dpo tomorrow...getting tempted....or setting myself up for disapointment?

[fish2012]

H&G think i'll probably be with too, check in everyday it always cheers me up to see i'm not alone x

[BeadinMom]

Fish, I'm sure I'll get beat up for this, LOL....but I would say don't test just yet. It would be VERY rare to get a positive that early...implantation is usually 6-10 days post ovulation and a HPT couldn't pick it up for a couple of days after that.
And I can tell you from experience....especially with watching the other ladies get BFPs, it's incredibly discouraging to see a stark white test. In fact, I'm trying to be positive right now, but I am so sad. I really thought with all of my symptoms that this was it, but apparently the vitex can cause pregnancy symptoms. :(

UGH...it just hit me all of a sudden! :( I feel like crying.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I am sorry you are so down Beadin! Your chart looks great so don't worry about vitex! I was on vitex too and the second month I was on it, I had every pregnancy symptom under the sun. Then the next cycle (my BFP cycle), I only had CM and then by CD10 had all the pregnancy symptoms. My fingers are still crossed for you!!!

We need some more positive thoughts on this thread!!!! Just remember it ain't over until AF shows and not everyone gets early BFPs! Cheer up ladies!!!!!! NO AF!

oh beadin so sorry really feel i will be joining you next week ;-S

after last month my plan was to wait until af over due, however as i o'd late i'm thinking of doing a test fri at 11dpo as we're going away camping for the weekend and i wanna pack meat for the bbq ;-S and then i'll know should i not need to pack the tampax! my temps aren't that high.......

[BeadinMom]

Thanks my BeachyGirl...you're too sweet! Xx

[Lilpumpkin06]

Is increased sense of smell a side effect of vitex too? It just seems too early for me to be experiencing this. But my hubby keeps saying I'm smelling things that he or my boys don't notice or even smell at all.

[BeadinMom]

Crossing fingers for you, Fish...XX

[mummypink]

Big hugs Beadin X

[Lassie1982]

beadin and p4p I'm so sorry girls - i really thought you guys would be in the august mega month :(

Im so sorry you guys are hurting - i know what it feels like. Try and keep the hope up girls - its really all we have got. Did you know (random fact) that hope is actually the strongest of all human emotions, even stronger then fear!
Harness that hope to try and create some positive energy so that the next month can be all ours!
As hard as it is, everything is always easier from behind a smile, so try and look to the next month knowing confidently that this will happen, and we will all get out bfp's - hopefully sooner rather then later.

Hopendream - good to see you again :) I would take the medication to increase your lining - i think thats super important, as AS says, you won't get your DG if you don't get pregnant at all. Im taking soy now - which is supposed to sway blue, and also having to take some zinc and iron tabs - which again sway blue.
Biggest swayer is diet, so as long as you stick to that then you will still have a super strong sway!
Good luck!!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Mummy...♥ Congrats on your BFP!

LilPumpkin, I don't know, but apparently cramps, breast tenderness and everything else is. :( I just don't know what to think!

[BeadinMom]

Lassie, you are the sweetest cheerleader ever ;) Thanks!!! ♥

[Lilpumpkin06]

Thanks beadin!

[Mrs_P]

Really sorry for those of you who are out this month, i know its sooo hard especially with so many girls getting BFP's, Beadin i really thought this would be your month after last, fingers are still crossed for you.

Pumpkin i had every pregnancy symptom under the sun last month (strange taste, smelt everything, cramping, slight nausea), even a week late af but kept getting a BFN no idea what was going on. Hope you get your BFP but it is possible that swaying alters your body. This month i have taken vitex on and off (when i remembered getting ready for next month properly) but had a couple of days where i took it, then i thought i'd o'd so stopped realised i wasn't sure so took another one or two then went away and forgot to take them and i've had spotting for a couple of days now (either pink or brown sorry tmi) but am only on cd21 af not due for another 6 plus days, has anyone else had this could it be from the vitex or just a coincidence (am wondering whether it would be from my really weird cycle last month i'm now getting a really short one)

[Lilpumpkin06]

I had no idea vitex had these side effects. Now I'm somewhat disappointed. This explains why I was experiencing all of these things so early. Thanks for the info ladies!

[BeadinMom]

Yeah. I had no idea either. :( I hope it's just a fluke that my temp dipped this morning & that it comes back up.

Thanks for the support, Mrs. P. - it really means a lot. ♥
I'm not sure about the answer to your question, but you might want to post the question to Atomic. I posted a question about the vitex symptoms this morning myself...amazingly, she's back and answering questions. To say she's like wonderwoman is an understatement. lol.

[BeadinMom]

UGH. And I am having some SERIOUS cramps right now. :(

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Fish, I'm sure I'll get beat up for this, LOL....but I would say don't test just yet. It would be VERY rare to get a positive that early...implantation is usually 6-10 days post ovulation and a HPT couldn't pick it up for a couple of days after that.

Reading this makes me want to cry too. :tissue: I'm sorry Beadin. I really hope af stands you up this month and you get a late bfp. If not, you know I'll be doing this in a few weeks...:cheerteam: Oh, and I want to be the cheerleader on top. It looks like fun!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

How many dpo are you and how long is your lp?

[BeadinMom]

Today I'm 11 dpo and I have a 28 day cycle, I ovulate on cd14. lol...every single month.

[Shellbelle]

You're probably going to think I'm insane, but I SEE A LINE!!!! I see it better than the one I saw yesterday morning. Are you peeing again anytime soon?

Okay, now that I seethe pic on a computer I see what you mean. Took one tonight and I feel like I still might see something but it coold be my imagination. I hadn't held my pee for that long though. I might be around more tomorrow to catch up.

Ladies, I am so sad about everyone's bfns. :(

[Shellbelle]

What do you think 3m? If it was a real line, wouldn't it be more obvious now? I'm 10 dpo today. 4145

[Shellbelle]

UGH. And I am having some SERIOUS cramps right now. :(

We need a dislike button. :(

[Shellbelle]

Can someone tell me why I see lines here that I have trouble seeing in person???

[BeadinMom]

Shell, I'm just so happy for you!! Congrats!!

[Shellbelle]

Shell, I'm just so happy for you!! Congrats!!

Oh, my girl, I would love to accept those congrats but it's so light and I can't see color and it doesn't seem to be getting darker and could I possibly have two boxes worth of defective tests with evap lines that come up way way before the 10 minute mark? It's messing with my head!

[BeadinMom]

No. I think it's positive, it's just early....it'll get darker as time goes on. :) Very excited for you...♥

[Shellbelle]

So you can see it? It's not just a figment of my imagination because I want a baby so badly?

[Shellbelle]

4146

With some hardcore tweaking. ;) I'm no Beachy, but I can see it better. But i still don't see any color in the line.

This is giving me even more gray hairs. Seriously.

[BeadinMom]

I really think I see something, but you should send it to NC so she can tweak it!

[BeadinMom]

We were posting at the same time. I totally see something in your tweaked pic! Congrats my girl!!

[Shellbelle]

3men&1lady, I need your eyes! Your special eyes!

[Shellbelle]

We were posting at the same time. I totally see something in your tweaked pic! Congrats my girl!!

Thank you! I love you! I needed backup eyes so badly!

[Lilpumpkin06]

I see it for sure in the 2nd pic! Yay!!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

I see a line too, but my concern is that it's too close to the control line..Can you get a $1 test tmw?

[Shellbelle]

I see a line too, but my concern is that it's too close to the control line..Can you get a $1 test tmw?

That's what I was wondering too. I have several tests left in the closet so I will be testing again tomorrow.

We need a dislike button. :(

I've been saying this for a while!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

That's what I was wondering too. I have several tests left in the closet so I will be testing again tomorrow.

Have you kept your other tests? I see a line on this one too. You're really testing my poas eyes Shell!!! When do your tests expire?

[HopeandDreamG]

I know a few of you are taking vitex. Just an interesting fact- a bunch of ladies on here got their bfp the cy ke they stopped taking it. AS says it can b like birth control for some. Just wanted you to know.

And thanks for all the support :bighug::bighug::

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Can someone tell me why I see lines here that I have trouble seeing in person???

Idk, but I've been seeing lines on every test you've done.

[Shellbelle]

Have you kept your other tests? I see a line on this one too. You're really testing my poas eyes Shell!!! When do your tests expire?

I'll have to look, but they're brand new boxes. UGH. I really really hate this. I still think they should be getting darker, even if it's early. I just don't understand how I could be getting lines on untweaked tests within the time limit if they're negative.

No, I haven't kept the other tests. Too many nosy kids in this house. ;)

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I've made the decision not to leave the 2ww thread without you guys. I introduced myself in the due in March, April and May thread so you all have one more month to get knocked up...OR ELSE!!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

That's what I was wondering too. I have several tests left in the closet so I will be testing again tomorrow.

Absolutely everything crossed for you Shelle!

Thank you so much for looking! I have some serious test anxiety right now!

Thanks Hope&Dream! I've taken it for several months now & stopping next month. Hope I'm one of the lucky ones who gets a BFP the cycle they stop! :)

And of course you have our support...you're sweet AND supportive of everybody else!! ♥

[Lilpumpkin06]

Thank you so much for looking! I have some serious test anxiety right now!

Welcome! Most people don't see truly positive tests until day of missed period. When I was preggo with my first child my BFP was faint on the day I missed my period! We weren't trying so I took that test because I was wondering where AF was not expecting to be preggo. Don't worry! Be sooo happy for that faint little line! I can't wait until I can POAS!

I so hope you're right, lilpumpkin! Thank you for the encouragement! I've never tested early like this -- I've always waited till my period was due -- and I'm really stressing over it this month. It is literally giving me a headache.

[HopeandDreamG]

Beadinmom- u sound really sure your out. Your temp still looks good and it's higher then last cycle on day 11

[BeadinMom]

Yeah. When I had that drop in my temp, then found out that vitex could be causing the symptoms I'm having, it kind of took the wind out of my sails. Blah.

Thanks for looking at my chart! Last month I was on the vitex AND progesterone cream. This time I didn't touch the cream because I was afraid of reading too much into the symptoms it was causing. LOL....and then there was the vitex ;)
I'm hoping that maybe I'll get really lucky and my temp will bounce back up tomorrow. Will definitely keep you posted. Thanks again for being so supportive and sweet!! Xx

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Beadinmom- u sound really sure your out. Your temp still looks good and it's higher then last cycle on day 11

I still have a good feeling about you girl!!!! I'm thinking late implant, and now your cramping. If the bean implanted yesterday or the day before, you'd still be getting bfn's. Your egg may have taken the scenic route. I think cramping is a good sign, and with af still days away it very well could be a symptom. I cramped a few days after o and never stopped. I'll stalk and you keep peeing. Drag Shell in there with you and throw a stick in her ****** too. lol

Imo I think Vitex is a hit or miss. It's like getting a pair of pants and expecting everyone to fit in them. I would hate to see someone drop diet because it was becoming hard to stick too and keep Vitex going. Diet is the main focus and if Vitex is causing some of these issues it's not fair to you. You're getting preg symptoms from Vitex. I don't like that Beadin...don't let this bfn break your spirit. :nono: I really like this guy.

[BeadinMom]

Hopefully the vitex did what it was supposed to and next month I'll get my BFP - if I'm really out this month.
I didn't have any problems with it and if I end up with a girl, it will totally be worth what I went through with the false prego symptoms this month.

Yeah. The little red guy is cute. lol.

I have everything crossed for you too Beadin' lady! It's just not over until AF shows. I swear those of you that temp go through much more stress than those who don't. I hope you see your BFP soon!!! :HH:

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Butterfly!!! ♥ So happy for you!!!
Ohhh you know how boy moms are!!! I have to feel like I have control over SOMETHING...LOL ;)
Maybe I'll stop next month....it does get to be a bit obsessive.

[Butterfly Spirit]

Thanks Butterfly!!! ♥ So happy for you!!!
Ohhh you know how boy moms are!!! I have to feel like I have control over SOMETHING...LOL ;)
Maybe I'll stop next month....it does get to be a bit obsessive.

Is that why i'm so controlling!? lol it must be!
I definitely remember you being there for me this whole time so I am certainly there for you as well!
Tmw is a scan by my doc... not sure what his machine is like, but i'm excited nonetheless and DH is going too and is actually excited! imagine that! LoL :D

And if this isn't your cycle I bet stopping Vitex will make the next one yours!

[BeadinMom]

Oh how EXCITING!!! Are you going to ask for a potty shot?? You're totally carrying a girl....I'm just sure of it!! ;)

And thanks again. This is so hard....it really does help to have a supportive group of ladies behind you. :) ♥

[pedsrn]

Congrats she'll, I totally see a line!!
Beadin I'm still a bfn as of today too....we have 3 more days...don't give up!!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks Peds! Pulling for both of us! :)

Yes, cautiously... and with DH there he "might" be more inclined
LOL

You're so welcome! :HH:

[BeadinMom]

LOL!! Smart move!! ;)

[pedsrn]

Af is here! So frustrated! As it is only my 2 nd month ttc, I try to remind myself some wait much much longer to conceive! Due to a few circumstances, we can't ttc again until November! I will definitely be stalking you ladies and getting my daily laughs in! Just as i was starting to pick up each of your personalities, I will have to meet new ones! Good luck to all you ladies!!:tissue:

[Jadis]

Ugh..sorry to everyone getting BFN's. I got another one this morning, not even a shadow of a line...so heartbreaking. I might be here next month :rolleyes:

[Shellbelle]

Jadis and pedsrn, I'm so sorry for the bfns. Jadis, that stark white always makes me so sad. :(

My temp dropped way way down his morning, so I may be out, too. :(

[Jadis]

Oh no! that's craptacular, Shell. I'm going to stop obsessively testing and just relax for a couple of days. The stark white tests are too depressing to take on a daily basis. I'm not giving up hope until AF shows her ugly face, though.

[Shellbelle]

Jadis, next month I think I will wait till Af is due. I just can't handle this stress.

I have some light brown spotting this morning, which is normal for 11 dpo for me. And then even with all the negative, Af is on her way signs, I tested anyway and got another very light line. I even took it into different rooms to see if it was still there.

Still no color.

Neither box of tests expire until 2014.

These are frer.

I really think they're negative. The line is there, but I wonder if it's some sort of dent or early evaporation line or something.

Posting the test for 3m, whether anyone but me can see it or not. Lol. I am very sad.

[BeadinMom]

Shell, I completely feel you, girl. If this isn't it, next month will be. I think you're right...I won't be testing early next month either...its just too hard.
Thinking of you!!! <3

[BeadinMom]

Jadis, Peds, Shell...
At least we know we'll be in good company next month...<3

[Shellbelle]

Beadin, i have 59 points today, too. Almost enough to buy a pregnancy, and I'm out! Lol.

With the temp drop etc, af should be here Wednesday.

[Shellbelle]

How early was af this month? Are you sure it's the real deal?

[HopeandDreamG]

Hi ladies- checking in on you to see if anyone tested. Boo to all the BFNs :(. I hate seeing stark white tests. Each morning one part of me feels like there is hope and the other prepares for a negative but it still hurts!
Nice a few of you are cycle buddies. I'm getting there have follicle check on Thursday. It will be too early but love seeing the egggies!

[Winngrin]

Hang in there ladies!!!Im sorry that this isnt the month for some, I was hoping we could ditch this thread and hang out over in the due date club. Thinking of you all!

[pedsrn]

Shell, I am due Wednesday so it came a couple days early which isn't uncommon for me, my lp this month was only 11 days which is strange because it's usually 14????? So I don't know!

Beadin, you're right, we will be in good company!

[Shellbelle]

Beadin, you're right, we will be in good company!

I ask because usually your lp will be pretty static. Could you have ovulated earlier than usual this month?

If I didn't temp, there are months where I would think I was late or early, because I can't count on my exact o date every month and opks aren't very accurate for me. But my lp is always the same.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I see the line Shell. I don't know what's going on though. This is really strange. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

[Shellbelle]

I see the line Shell. I don't know what's going on though. This is really strange. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

Thank you do much for all your support. You are the sweetest lady. :)

[Lilpumpkin06]

For the ladies with the BFP, what day did you POAS? I'm 6 dpo today. Probably still too early? I bought 10 dollar store tests today!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I started at 6 dpo. I got a bfp 7 dpo. Good luck to you.

[Lilpumpkin06]

I started at 6 dpo. I got a bfp 7 dpop. Good luck to you.

Ooooo! Soooo tempting! I don't want to obsess though....hmmm. Not sure what I'll do. Thanks for your response!

[Winngrin]

I started at 7, got a almost invisible line at 8, and a decent faint line at 9

[BeadinMom]

Those are unusual, though...don't get your hopes up too much or feel too much depair if you don't get a BFP right now, LilPumpkin...it is still INCREDIBLY EARLY.

Good luck!! And good luck to all you ladies testing!! ♥

With some hardcore tweaking. ;) I'm no Beachy, but I can see it better. But i still don't see any color in the line.

This is giving me even more gray hairs. Seriously.

oh i see what you mean i can see aline with colour, i awlways thought that was just where the coloured line would be if there was one, however i am no expert....before i found you lot i'd only taken two preggie tests...two bfps ;-S

[fish2012]

I've made the decision not to leave the 2ww thread without you guys. I introduced myself in the due in March, April and May thread so you all have one more month to get knocked up...OR ELSE!!!!

:awe:

oh no... i'm only on month 3 and feed up i know some ladies try for years....but it sucks ;-(

[fish2012]

i'm 7dpo and trying to hold of till friday 11dpo....but a test buddy might tempt me too much ;-S

[fish2012]

well i'm grumpy, tired and really hungry all the time...af or preggie? why are the symptoms so confusing

grrr mother nature... very cruel mother ;-S

Me too! Uggghhh! If I get a BFP I can't wait to eat! Haha!

[fish2012]

Me too! Uggghhh! If I get a BFP I can't wait to eat! Haha!

gotta say i've not been doing great with dieat last couple of days...but i dream of what i can eat if i ever get a bfp...sad really!

[Shellbelle]

I am thinking about taking a break. The stress of swaying and ttc is really getting to me.

[BeadinMom]

Shell, I was thinking the exact same thing today. There's just so much pressure.
Are you taking a break from TTC or just from the forum for a bit?

[Shellbelle]

From ttc. Our chances are really limited next cycle anyway. But I realized I'm spending so much time dwelling on ttc stuff that Im missing out on the joy from the kids I already have.

I want a baby so badly. I'm not sure how much I even need for it to be a girl anymore.

[BeadinMom]

That's exactly how I feel.
You're still young...enjoy your kids now.
I don't have much time left....I need to do this now. And I truly do not care, boy or girl - just as long as it's healthy. I'm so ready to be pregnant. I just need to relax to get there.

I hope everything works out for you and that you stick around at least. I love having you here! ♥

[Shellbelle]

Aw, thanks so much. I'm 36 so I've crossed that line. I've never, ever tried this hard to get pregnant -- when I got pg with the baby, I was 33 and we only dtd one time that month, because of dh schedule. I just feel like maybe I've decreased my fertility SO much that my body won't let me conceive.

I'm so sorry youre having to go through this too, sweetie. I'll stick around -- I just can't quit y'all. ;)

I just need to relax, reevaluate, and rest. And maybe it will happen once I've rebooted lol.

[BeadinMom]

I turned 40 in May and everything you just said is how I feel!!
I'm afraid I've messed something up, too. I had the easiest time getting pregnant for all 3 boys, but it was a while ago, and I wasn't trying to diminish my fertility.
I guess we should take it as a good sign that it's taking a while to happen...it's kinda, sorta what we were trying to do, when ttc a girl...it's not supposed to just happen. KWIM? At this point though, I just want a baby...right now.

We'll get there...promise. :) We'll both have sweet little babies in our bellies and our arms before we know it!!

Now go reboot and get back at it!! ;) Love ya, girl!!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Girls, older age also sways pink. And I think it's stress, not your fertility. I'm 37. You can both do this. I hope bfp's are here in the next month or 2. I love you ladies!!!

[Rosie85]

Shell you will probably get pregnant as soon as you stop trying! I have to say to anyone over 35 to be grateful you can get pregnant or have your periods still. In my family menopause comes at the ripe ol age of 35-40 and it starts earlier every generation. I have signs of it already starting and I am only 26! This is likely my last baby because this one might kick my system into hyperdrive and push me right into the menopause :-/
