[spinningmadly]

I lost my normal thermometer last night :/ had to use my back up one that runs a little higher but it was way higher this AM ,even higher than Post-O ...I'm only 7 dpo and trying not to get my hopes up...

[pebmcpd7]

In the TWW, but i don't think I have much chance this month. I DTD 3 days before O. DH could'nt perform so we did'nt really try this month!!! Check out my chart...

[hotdogz&boyz]

Thanks so much ladies for all the love! It is fabulous there is such a nice group of ladies in here. I am routing for all of you! And HUGE CONGRATS to you Lassie! That line is NOT faint! It's gorgeous. You are so pregnant. Awesome news.

[HopeandDreamG]

[Boymomsrock]

Congrats to you Lassie on your BFP! So exciting!!

I'm on my first real month of ttc and am 2 dpo. Why is the waiting such torture? I kinda blew my diet the day i ovulated. I was so hungry for food! I ate a few cookies and had some candy. That can't be too bad right? I normally eat all boy, hence the 3 i have. I have dramatically cut down on salt and changed my diet quite a bit but i'm not totally hardcore because i would drive myself nuts. I will probably start testing 8 dpo if my temps are high. How about everyone else?

[pedsrn]

Congrats lassie!!! Very happy for you!

Beadin you crack me up!!!

Good luck to those still waiting!!

:fx::noaf:

Yes, i told DH as soon as i did the test....well actually i posted the photo on here first LOL. It was 4:20am....so he wasn't too impresses at being woken up - but was over the moon that its finally happened.

So hard to keep it quiet! I just want to shout it from the rooftops! We've agreed to wait till 8weeks before we tell family, and 12weeks before we tell friends and colleagues....

thanks again to everyone for their kind words :)

I actually woke up my DH at 10:30 pm as he was asleep. And I was dramatic hysterical..terrified mess.
It of course turned into a BIG fight...O well.

That is just super wonderful. I haven't forgotten you all day long!

How are you girls doing this morning? Any news, Beadin?

I'm having bad cramps and a backache this morning. Af spotting usually starts on 11dpo, and full Af on 12.

[Shellbelle]

Lassie, that line is just so lovely! :) Congrats again!

[Shellbelle]

Omg omg omg omg!!!!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

Showed up immediately. No way! No WAY!!!!!!!!

[Shellbelle]

That brown stuff on 6dpo had to be ib. Does that look like a dark line for 10dpo??? Got a bfp on an IC this morning but thought it was an evap line. But it bugged me all morning. This is with my third pee of the day (and yes I dipped it lol).

[HopeandDreamG]

Shell~ CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!! THat no evap line!!
Looks like the HURRICANE brought you some luck!! SO happy for you ;)

Congratulations Shellbelle!

[Mrs_P]

Aw huge congrats Shell am so pleased it was finally your turn we've got to have been knocking about in here for 4 months plus now. Now we just need to get beadin knocked up to. Be great if we could all graduated this month.

Hope i'm not sure if i missed your post but how did it go at the docs? been thinking about you x

I am once again at 6dpo (cd18 of a 25-26 day cycle) and been getting cramping all day, have been really worried its o coming again (although cm is really creamy and my cervix is that far back so hopefully not), am looking forward to testing but not getting my hopes up as i have had every symptom under the sun the last 3 months and a bfn everytime.

[Shellbelle]

Thanks, y'all!

Mrs P, yes, I think this is my 4th month here? It's our 6th back-to-back cycle ttc. FX that this is your month, too!!! :)

[Mrs_P]

Just out of interrest Shell what day did you o and what day did you start testing/get your bfp - if you don't mind sharing x

ps massive congrats again - am looking forward to nub pics already, have you posted your sway, when are you due???

sorry for all questions hun but am really pleased for you

Oh, ask away!

We DTD just after AF was over, because DH happened to be in town. CD 6 and 7. Then he went back to work and hasn't been home since, so no more bd. :) I got a peak on the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor on CD12, and that's when I believe I O'd (earlier than normal), but my temps didn't reflect it for a few days, so I wasn't totally sure. I had some brown gunky stuff on 6dpo, which is when implantation must have happened. My chart's still at the bottom of my posts (click the ticker) if you want to take a look. It was a weird, weird cycle.

I didn't test until today -- 10 dpo -- and I only did that because my boobs hurt so bad and the nausea was so intense this morning. Normally, I have an 11 day lp so I expected to start spotting tomorrow. I really didn't think there was a chance for a positive, but still just HAD to test. Considering that I've been starting on 7dpo for other cycles, I waited a long time. ;)

This was my 3rd month on soy isoflavones (160 on days 3-7). Other than folic acid, I was not on any other supps. I'd lost about 10 lbs over the past few months, but this month I was much, much more relaxed with diet, so I guess we'll see.

[Shellbelle]

I haven't officially posted my sway. I'm scared to jinx anything. Just putting the ticker in my signature made me nervous, LOL.

[dreamingpink77]

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Shellbelle! I'm so happy for you! OMG! this is so nice to have someone every day announcing she is pregnant, yesterday Lassie, now you...Wow! who's next tomorrow? :) I hope you have your pink bean in there :)

Wow! so you ovulated 5 days after you dtd, right? that means spermies can really survive in there if they want to :)

[Mrs_P]

Aw don't be neverous, will be excited read your sway when your ready to post it. Fingers crossed you get another little pink bundle with 2 little girls already at least you know you can carry pink, i'll bet they'll be pleased to have a sister.

I did well with the weight loss in between ds3's birthday on 30/08 and the weekend i lost 5-6 pounds and am doing ok, although i have been naughty since we had our try this month, nothing major but a few little treats, have suddenly found the diet really hard

[Dreamofpink]

So happy for you Shellbelle! Go and enjoy your cookbooks! :rofl:

[Callmecrazy]

Congrats Shellbelle!!!! I'm totally going to have to stalk the expecting forums now to see how you all are doing :)

Looks like DH might be home next weekend in prep for his new job. So we may get an attempt in after all. And I've been losing 1/2 lb per day so my sway is going well.

[Shellbelle]

LOL, Dreamofpink! Guess what I've been doing this afternoon? I found some great recipes, but the nausea is so bad that I can't even think about cooking right now!

[Shellbelle]

Only one of those girls is mine -- the other is my husbands -- so yes, at least I do know I can carry pink. They will be THRILLED if they get a sister! Out of my three pregnancies carried to term, two have been boys, but there seems to be no pattern to weight, diet, etc when it comes to my pregnancies. So we'll see! Thanks again!!!

[Ribbons]

Congrats Lassie and Shellbelle! How exciting!

:running:

[genieinabottle1]

This is soooo exciting! Congrats Lassie and Shelle! Hope you are leading for many more BFPs this month!

AFM: I am 4 DPO with a 12 day LP. I Od 10 days sooner than last cycle, so very excited about that, yet, I was on vacation to Hawaii right before I Od so I definitely was not sticking to the diet (oops). Well, I am just super-excited to conceive so hope for the best.

So YAY for your BFP!!!!

[spinningmadly]

Congrats Shell!!
Can I ask you why you were taking the soy and how..? I was thinking of trying some next cycle...

I had my progesterone checked 7 dpo and it was 10.4 , anyone know if this is high/low/bad/good...?

[pedsrn]

Congratulations shellbelle!!!! I ovulated later than expected so my bd was 3 1/2 days before o so you will be my little glimmer of hope!!

[kaseybaby]

Hi ladies! I had my first IUI last week, I am on month 16, so I am so hoping this works, but my odds are pretty low.

The only thing I have been feeling is fatigue.

[fish2012]

Good luck fish will keep my fingers crossed for you xxxx

:fx: for you too

how about a test on saturday?! scary!
I'll be 9dpo then and you'll be 10?

Toyed with friday but think that might be bit hopeful! my LP is usually only 11 days ;-S

[HopeandDreamG]

Hey MrsP~ not sure what doc appointment you need- i always have them! Well my update is BFN. I have appointment for HT and I am trying to decide if I should try when I O in 2 weeks. I am CD2 today. Atomic thinks I should because the clomid is still in my system from last month and not taking it can help me conceive. I am worried bc I cheated for a week and a half in the 2WW. I truly thought this was it for me. Everyone pretty much thinks that since I'm so depleted that it wont maje a difference. Ive been on the diet since December and I was sick all winter into the summer.
Choices, choices. So for now I am dieting so if I ttc Im ready, and I have an apt for IVF on Oct 1st.

[hotdogz&boyz]

Yay for another gorgeous BFP!! Congrats! The room is off to a great start. Hopefully there are quite a few more BFPs!

[spinningmadly]

So i stupidly took a dollar tree test today , 9 dpo and of course BFN so now I"m all frustrated.

Also, one of my drs says 10.4 is good after 7 dpo progesterone level and another one says needs to be 15 ..UGH

[BeadinMom]

Spinning, don't lose hope, my girl...9dpo is still very early!! ♥

Go on then your on, will test sat and post back, i usually get af 10 -11 days after opk+ (although its not usually on cd12).

i think you should go for it, you have been on the diet wayyyyyy to long for a week to hurt and if AS says go for it i'd trust her (not only is she super smart but she is routing for us and wants you to succeed so advice will be in your best interests)

ht is a mjor undertaking and such a roller coaster if you can bypass it all the better, little pink ones always turn up when least expected and you've paid your dues x

SHELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! OMG!!! You posted right after I sent Lassie her Congrats! WOW that is AMAZING woman! CONGRATULATIONS! You just gave me SO much hope for this month honey you don't even KNOW! We had one BD attempt 2 days before O because we were moving to our new house and all and here you are 5 days before O. AHHH I am so excited for you!!!! AHHHHHHH! Ok sorry. I'm calm now, lol.

[Mrs_P]

Hey beadin have been thinking about you, good to see o finally showed up, did you get another opk+ to go with your chart???.

I've always said i don't do temps as the one time i tried it my chart made no sense, well....... i just checked yours (as i wanted to check you'd o'd) and it looks just like my weird chart from my last pg. I had a plus opk early in the month, my temp then repeated for 3 days followed by a small dip, i then had a major dip later on in the cycle like the one that you had for o, which i thought was o (turns out was implantation) temp stayed up after that and i gave in temping at cd27 (6 days after the dip) as i was getting married the next day, we got confirmation of pregnancy 3 days after.

Either way, fingers crossed for a bfp this month but i can't help but wonder if something unusual maybe happening for you

[Chessika]

I will be 9dpo tomorrow. I have been thinking if I should test Friday with a IC (no other tests here)? But my luteal phase is normally pretty long (about 14 days).

I was thinking the same thing when I saw her chart this morning! So happy that FF finally gave you some cross-hairs, Beadin!

[spinningmadly]

Spinning, don't lose hope, my girl...9dpo is still very early!! ♥

Thanks! I just feel so weird, I fell asleep putting Ds2 down for a nap today for 2 hours!! And I never nap!!

I see you finally ovulated! How are you feeling?

[BeadinMom]

Eh. Not really sure I actually did. FF thinks I did cause of the temp drop and increase, but I never did get a positive opk - despite checking numerous times a day. :(
I also remembered that my cervix is retroverted, so I have no idea what I have been feeling. LOL.
Oh well. As long as I ovulate next month and everything gets back on track, I'll be happy.

Sounds like a VERY good sign for you!! I napped lots when I was preggers, too!!! ;) Crossing fingers and toes!!! ♥

[spinningmadly]

I am trying not to get my hopes up!
hmm weird..
my good friend never gets a positive OPK. And she has ovulated every cycle she charts..maybe yours was short?
I imagine you could still tell if it was open or closed?

[BeadinMom]

Now I can, now that I've figured out what direction it's facing. LOL. I'm such a dork.
I really hope that's the case with me. I'm so glad to know about your friend...it gives me hope :)


I know what you mean...it's hard, you don't want to get your hopes up, BUT you have so much to be hopeful for. Well, I'm saying a little prayer for you tonight when I go to bed. I hope you get your BFP in the next couple of days!!!

[Dreamofpink]

Spinning - I really hope you get your BFP soon!
Beadin - I hope you get to test soon. What CD are you on?
:fx: for you both!

Can I come and join you all today? I know I'm early as it's O day for me today :giggle: Crikey, it's going to be a long 2 weeks!!!!!

[spinningmadly]

still BFN this AM! ugh!! I just used cheap internet tests I had.. trying to remind myself I am only 10 DPO!

[spinningmadly]

my chart jumped twice too..hope I wasn't wrong about O...

shirinatri - TCOYF (http://www.tcoyf.com/members/shirinatri/charts/default.aspx)

[Mrs_P]

blimey spinning thats a complicated chart but o looks very clearly pinpointed, good luck to you, are you getting any symptoms, i am 8dpo and am getting lots of cramping last couple of days (was worried about a second o as mine was really early this month so just checked my cervix and its really really tight but there is a little blood - sorry tmi).

feeling like i am going insane watching my body this closely though i have no idea what happened with the boys we caught first month of trying and i never tested til i was 4 days late (i was really regular then) so it was just for a formality anyway. Since we started all this months ago i've had every symptom under the sun in the 2ww (including a 9 day late period) but always a bfn.

what do you have at the moment (kids wise)

I know right! ugh, I am hoping it is right about O. I also never tested until late with my other pregnancies so now I'm making myself nuts.
I have 2 boys, 3 1/2 and 20 months. I also recently lost a girl at 20 weeks :/ , still born. That was a surprise preg as we were starting to sway but not trying yet.So now that we are trying I don't know whats going on. DS1 was a surprise , DS2 I also charted etc for months before I could get pregnant. I'm trying to pull up my old charts with DS2 to compare my luteal phase. I figure that if my progesterone was 10.4 on Monday theres no way I could have Ovulated ..sunday...so it must be right. I'm trying to tell myself at least I O'ed and my luteal phase isn't short as long as it lasts a couple more days as long as I'm not pregnant! With DS2 I didn't even test til 18 dpo. I don't know how I was so relaxed.. I think I had almost given up at that point...

[Mrs_P]

On no spinning thats really sad, is there any reason why you lost her?

There are a few moms on here with late miscarriages recently, its awful i can't imagine how hard it must be to loose a baby let along one you've wanted for so long fate can be so cruel

I didn't realize there's been a few, that's sad.

Nope no reason at all that we know of ..which makes it really hard. I was extremely sick with her pregnancy, had hypermeisies, lost about 20 lbs ( I only weigh like 130 normally) , I had to take zofran (and I am very conservative with meds..) but I had 2 ultrasounds, one at 10 weeks because of some spotting , everything looked perfect, and one at 15 and everything looked great again, my mw heard the heartbeat strong a couple weeks later, then at 19/20 weeks we couldn't find it. She must have passed just a couple days after we heard it. I never felt much movement. But we just thought maybe I didn't feel her yet..who knows...they ran some tests etc, but they said most of the time theres no reason they find

[Mrs_P]

my heart really goes out to you thats awful and no reason as well must be really hard we had problems early on with my first an i was so scared we were going to loose him it was horrible.

wishing you an easy healthy pregnancy this time around xxxxxx

Thanks! I always had a 10 day LP in the past when i looked at old charts..so far I'm on 10 dpo and no AF yet but we will see..:/
preg test was still BFN ugh

[Shellbelle]

FX for you, spinningmadly. I hope you just had a later implantation!

[spinningmadly]

thank you shellbelle! how are you feeling?

[BeadinMom]

(((( Spinning )))) <--- just cause. ♥


So I am clueless where I'm at in my cycle. No idea when I should even test. LOL. I'm just gonna keep dtd until I get AF or enough time goes by that I should probably test. lol

[suregena]

Woooops... I should have been in here ages ago! I'm 9dpo...

[Shellbelle]

Spinningmadly, I am feeling very pregnant. :) Thanks for asking! Feeling sick and tired is so comforting, because in the past when I haven't had symptoms, it's scared me.

Beadin, I was looking at your chart this morning and wondering if you might just test in a few days. It's so crazy-looking, it just makes me wonder.

Suregena, your chart looks great!

[BeadinMom]

I know, right??? Last night was the first time I got real EWCM! I thought, there is no way I could be O'ing this late, but I woke up the DH and made him do it!! LOL!!

[spinningmadly]

beadin- I think that is the perfect strategy! your chart is a bit crazy! what day do you usually ovulate?

[Shellbelle]

I know, right??? Last night was the first time I got real EWCM! I thought, there is no way I could be O'ing this late, but I woke up the DH and made him do it!! LOL!!

Lol, good move, my girl!

[BeadinMom]

Just wanted to let you ladies know that the First Response Digital Ovulation tests SUCK.

I sent DH to the store to get more digitals, but they were out of my regular CBE with the smileys, so he got the FR instead.
You have to start using them on "day 5 of your period or spotting." AND they have to be used within 30 days from opening.
"Do not start if past DAY 5; wait until next cycle." :(
That's fine for NEXT month, but I want to know about RIGHT NOW. UGH!


ETA:
They actually say "This test cannot be used for contraception (birth control) or gender selection." LOL. Seriously?

They must remember each days results and giv you a positive based on your own baseline .
Tests like that always gave me a lot of false positives ugh

[BeadinMom]

I'm glad to know that, Spinning...
I talked him into returning them to Walmart. They're doing me no good right now and if I do end up getting pregnant this month, that's $42 bucks down the drain.
Now I don't have any though, so tomorrow I guess I'll be heading to Target!!

I hope the confusion and chaos of this month pays off big in the end and is worth it. I'm just so tired.

I'll say a prayer for you! I'm hoping you ovulated already and you get a surprise BFP!

[BeadinMom]

Aww...thanks Spinning!!! That means so much!!! ♥

[suregena]

Last night... at 8dpo... I found one cheapie I forgot about and in a moment of madness, I used it! Sheesh, I'm a crazy person because now I'll have to buy more.

However, a very faint line appeared pretty instantly. The past cycles when I thought I saw something, I really had to stare really hard and likely making it up. I can see this one without trying, though it's still light. But it makes me hopeful...

We'll see. Not getting my hopes up but it was mildly convincing, especially at night with non-FMU at 8dpo...

[genieinabottle1]

Surgena: If it's a pink line of any shade, then it's a BFP!!! Congrats!

BEadin: so frustrating about the OPKs. Those instructions make no sense at all. Hope the EWCM means you are going to O finally. How frustrating. I have really long and irregular cycles so I know how you feel.

[Lassie1982]

Beadin - thinking of you hun ! Hope this one is the month for you xo There HAS to be a happy ending to the crappy times you've just gone through, and that happy end should be a BFP! Where there is hope, there is life, and thats where miracles happen :)

Suregena, sounds promising, wait till 10DPO if you can and use a FRER with FMU.

on 2 of them i can certainly see something!! Apparantly the trick is to invert the photo, and that makes it show up fluorescent green so its easier to show up, apparently only real lines (i.e., not evap lines) show up. I'd do it for you but have no photo editing software, perhaps one of the other girls does..

hope this is it for you - this month seems to be the month for long timers to get their BFP, i got mine, cinns got hers, i think shell has been trying for a few months swell and she got a bfp this month too

:fx:

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I def see a line Suregena!!! Hope you can pee on something today. Congrats!!!

[fish2012]

surgerna congrats hope this is it for you! xx

[Shellbelle]

Suregena, I see something! I agree with Lassie! FX that this is it for you!

[Shellbelle]

And yes, Lassie, this was cycle 6 for us.

[Mrs_P]

hi girls just checking in congratulations surgena really pleased for you

am feeling pretty rough and sorry for myself today, feel tired and slightly sick at times and my bad hurts and my tummy aches and i'm pretty certain i am about to get my af (been getting some brown blood when i go to the toilet) poor me :sad:

great to come on here and see so many of your lovely ladies getting your bfp's though. will be here by myself next month ... you'd better all still come and talk to me ..... please!

[suregena]

So it's not just me?? Ooooooooooo! Exciting!

Today I've been having mild, dull cramps.... If you can even call them cramps they're pretty mellow. And I emailed my husband yesterday while I was at work and started the email with, "Hey, asshole" - so maybe another sign......... hahaha.....

[suregena]

Sorry, I'm on my iPhone and cannot write very accurately it seems! Bad punctuation! I'm too lazy to edit!

Hi hunny thank you, am feeling really blue today nice to have someone to chat to, really hope we both get a bfp together especially with our cycles so close we'd be due date buddies

[BeadinMom]

(((( Mrs P ))))
So sorry...if it helps any, my cycle has been so out of wack this time, I'm pretty sure I'll be joining you next month. Xx

[HopeandDreamG]

Spinning & suregena- hoooooooorrrrrraayyyyyy! Way to go! Congrats.

[Boymomsrock]

Surgena and Spinning I see both of yours!! This group is doing amazing this month!! Bring the rest of us some of that!! Congratulations!!! :)

[Boymomsrock]

I'm 6 dpo today but I will only get excited if I see higher temps. I will test at 8 dpo (I know i know but i test + early) if my temps are high but ONLY if they're high. Keep me strong! LOL!

[Mrs_P]

Thanks beadin, think i've hit my low now feel like bodies going through a mangle emotionally. Then i read butterflys ladybird thing about keep hanging on (made me cry i feel just like that little lady bird today) and she's right the best things are worth fighting for and if i get my little girl she will be worth every tear.

I really hope things work out for you this month and you get a nice surprise you must be feeling as fed up as i am now and i'm pretty sure you've been hanging around here longer than i have. Would be really nice if you, me and fish could sneak in bfp's and join everyone else from our group in the due date thread

[Mrs_P]

hi Hope hows it going, did you decide to try this month?

[spinningmadly]

I'm excited if it is BFP but so nervous because of last time !
I figure I should eat now while I still can...

[Mrs_P]

OMG we are insane, look what were driven to. Hell yes you should eat we've all been going without far too long, you've got your bfp your officially allowed you can graduate to the due date thread where they allow food, enjoy x

[spinningmadly]

LOL that AND I had hypermeisies the last time around...hoping it doesn't happen again! I only have a few weeks to get all the food in before it just comes back up now!!

[spinningmadly]

if this is a BFP..my due date is the date my still born baby girl was born last May :( ironic

[suregena]

Wow, surprised everyone sees it! I'll take another photo in the daylight when I get home from work....

Have no tests I can use now but going to order some...

[myGirl]

Oh, spinning your post brings a tear to my eye, I'm so happy for you... It is bittersweet. Congratulations on your BFP, I can see two lines even on my phone.

Suregena, I see the BFP!!!! Woot! Congratulations girl!

To Beadin, mrs P, Fish, Chessika and Hope, (and the rest of the tww'ers) I am KMFX for all of us. I have been TTC since March and I know how difficult it is. I also have gone through a little depression, that's why I stopped posting for a while.

Just like one of you mentioned, remember the Ladybug that Butterfly posted. Don't give up! I believe God has perfect timing for all of us.

:heart:

[Mrs_P]

if this is a BFP..my due date is the date my still born baby girl was born last May :( ironic

Give you a nice memory for the date though, maybe your new baby girl wants to pay tribute to her sister, make sure it is a positive day for your family to remember them both x

[spinningmadly]

myGirl and MrsP, I will pray both of you get your BFP's soon!
I do think that it would be nice ot have a nice memory to go along with the sad one.

[Praying4Pink]

Hi Ladies! First let me say CONGRATULATIONS to Spinning and Surgena! Woo Hoo! :running:So over the top happy for ALL of you ladies that got their BFP's this cycle!!! This thread has been HOT!

I had hoped to catch some of that BFP dust but alas AF showed up yesterday morning...Blah! So...I guess it is on to October TWW for me. I will be doing Soy Iso again and using digital OPK's. IT IS ON, lol! Hope you ladies are enjoying your Friday :LotsofLove:

[suregena]

My BBs are still sore....
That is all (again) lol

You may now resume your previous activities... :)

Okay, for real...I WISH I knew what was going on with my body!!

[Mrs_P]

well i for one really hope you are preggers, would love to be right about your chart.

sore bb's is about the only thing i have never had in the 2ww so am sure the time i do will be my bfp times, what a strange thing to hope for though

[Ribbons]

OMG Suregena - that's POSITIVE!

:running:

[BeadinMom]

LOL Mrs. P....yeah. They hurt. :( I'll take it though, if it means I'm getting somewhere. I hope we end up due date buddies together!!! ♥

P4P!! Hope you're doing well!! Missed seeing you around here!! ♥

[Mrs_P]

yeah me to feels like you me and fish are the only ones out of our group still not at the party would have been nice to move on with beachy and 3men

[Shellbelle]

Suregena, that looks positive to me!!!

P4P, we've missed you!

Beadin, I really, really hope your boobies are trying to tell you something! ;)

[BeadinMom]

I know...I couldn't agree more. The only thing that brings me some comfort though, is that I got pregnant with my boys right away. Maybe this time will be different enough that it will bring us sweet little girls :)
If that's the case, I'm okay with waiting a little bit longer. ♥

[BeadinMom]

LOL Shell...I HOPE it means something THIS time. Seems like they've been sore for a long time now though!!
I just can't wait to meet you on the due date thread!! ♥

[Shellbelle]

Like, maybe, since around when you got that first +opk? I hope there's a precious surprise waiting for you this month.

[suregena]

OMG Suregena - that's POSITIVE!

:running:

I don't know if I can believe it yet since it's faint! :nails:

I mean, seriously? It was my last time peeing before bed at 8dpo! What the?!

[sweetpea]

I don't know if I can believe it yet since it's faint! :nails:

Suregena! Take an FRER or a digital - I bet you will like what you see! Congrats!!! :bigsmile:

[Ribbons]

I don't know if I can believe it yet since it's faint! :nails:

I mean, seriously? It was my last time peeing before bed at 8dpo! What the?!

At 8 DPO? That's awesome :) That looks like a good positive for a cheapie, I would be REALLY surprised if it's not. FX this is a sticky bean for you!!

[suregena]

Yes! I didn't fully take my temps this month (I ended up plugging some random numbers in to get crosshairs on FF!) AND I used NO OPK! So as far as what FF says... I ovulated on the CD19... which made me 8dpo yesterday.

But it wasn't even fmu, either...
Can you see why I don't belieeeeeve it??

I wasn't on the diet this month, I skipped breakfast sometimes (or if I didn't it was toast or a crumpet... tried to not eat oatmeal/cereal....), still had bad snack days, though... and gained all weight back since resuming my normal foods (mostly)... so I wasn't losing weight or very very little to make it pointless for swaying...

But basically, after two annoying months with a 50 day cycle and a 55 day cycle with ovulation happening likely around CD38... when I relaxed my food back to how I used to eat... wham, cycle is mostly normal again. Just crazy....

But it means I'd probably have a boy, even if DH and I are both vegetarian anyway.

He did FR (no LR this time)... we got 2 attempts in (the first one was no J+D but the second one I wiped immediately afterwards because I was nervous as I forgot to take an antihistamine) and then a 3rd attempt after when I supposedly ovulated so likely didn't count to anything.

Our attempts were not back to back... we'd skip a day and he'd continue to FR on those skipped days.

I did soy isoflavones, antihistamine, folic acid.


We'll see.......

[sweetpea]

It sounds like you were nice and relaxed though, and you still had many other things going for you that sway pink. Don't lose hope! It's very possible that this little bean could be a girl. I have everything crossed for you! ;)

[suregena]

I never used OPKs with my son, never took temps, etc. I thought I'd be clever with all of that business but I wonder if it also contributed to my long cycles... :( Which is why I dropped it (although started temping when I noticed some fertile signs happening.)

[spinningmadly]

well...
all my tests/ brands coming back positive... see below
BUT my progesterone yesterday was only at 4.9 :( (was 10.4 ..10 dpo)

4592

[Mrs_P]

look positive to me, no idea what progesterone is or should be though or even how you measure it

[Mochagirl]

SUREGENA!!!! That looks like a BFP to me!!!! Congrats!

[NCBeachyGrl]

SUREGENA!!!! That looks like a BFP to me!!!! Congrats!

OMG!!!!! I see it too!!! So exciting!

[spinningmadly]

should be rising and should prob be above 12? or 15?...

[fish2012]

yeah me to feels like you me and fish are the only ones out of our group still not at the party would have been nice to move on with beachy and 3men

hey, i had high hopes for last month but missing this one is quiet hard, my temps been stable last two days so fairly sure it's a bfn again, begining to really think maybe there's something wrong with me....never even heard of an opk when i got preggie with the boys and now i know i've dtd at the right time and nothing ;-(

beadin fx for you hun

[Mrs_P]

aw fish i know how you feel, part of me says its good as were finding it harder to catch its swaying pink but then as time goes on the sway drops which is hard

but then maybe its cause of age for me at least (i'm 30) and fertility is supposed to decline over 25 ish so that every so many sperm and eggs are duds maybe were just catching a dud? But then we caught first month with all 3 boys, it never really crossed my mind it wouldn't happen but then we weren't doing things to reduce ferility

[BeadinMom]

Aww Fish, I feel the same exact way!!! Before I just dtd on CD14 and BAM! Baby Boy. LOL.
Now, I'm using opks, temping, checking my Cx (not that I have a clue what I'm doing with that, other than being able to check CM) and still can't get it right. lol.

It will work out for us though...and I know I've said it before, but I really do believe it...the longer it takes, the better the chance it will be a girl. :) Just keep thinking about that! Xx

[Shellbelle]

well...
all my tests/ brands coming back positive... see below

That is totally a bfp. Can your dr put you on progesterone?

they won't until they get hcg results so i dono what to do :(
i have natural progesteron ecream..

[spinningmadly]

Did they check your levels butterlfy or just RX it because you were bleeding? I think I need to find a new practice and its the weekend..

[Boymomsrock]

Spinning just keep using the natural progesterone cream until you get in. :hug:

[Butterfly Spirit]

Did they check your levels butterlfy or just RX it because you were bleeding? I think I need to find a new practice and its the weekend..

I Had a beta draw. He was a new ob and put me on it because of my previous loss the month prior.
At least you can do the cream for now. But hope you can get in somewhere.

[suregena]

Very unlikely I can get progesterone... I'm just going to have to see how things go, unfortunately, if it is a positive.

[genieinabottle1]

Spinning : CONGRATS! Keep using that progesterone cream.... hopefully you are going to get in soon to the Dr?

Beadin: that's a great attitude, I really hope it's this month for you.

Awww Fish: there's nothing wrong with you, we're all doing this stuff to decrease fertility, and it sure doesn't help (((HUGS))). We'll all get through the craziness and hopefully our little Pink package will be the result

So exciting with all the BFPs making it through this month. I'm on 8 DPO tomorrow and waiting until at least 11 or 12. I am having a triphasic chart but I have been sick with a cold this week so I don't know if it's because of that.

[Butterfly Spirit]

So it's not just me?? Ooooooooooo! Exciting!

Today I've been having mild, dull cramps.... If you can even call them cramps they're pretty mellow. And I emailed my husband yesterday while I was at work and started the email with, "Hey, asshole" - so maybe another sign......... hahaha.....

I think he guessed as much. I showed him the test last night and he said he saw the line, and he said he had a feeling as it explained my bitchfests the last few days if it's real.

Because, seriously... everything has been pissing me off... at work, at home. I was just a very angry girl the second part of last week!

Yeah - even so. They really won't do anything until you've had three losses in a row. I mean, hey, it's fine... but my hope is the soy isoflavones helped my lining... because I have often wondered if perhaps that might have been a contributing factor to the two miscarriages before my son (and I conceived my son right after the second miscarriage, so I possibly had a slightly more 'rich' environment in the uterus for him to implant?)

I have read that soy should help. My last soy cycle, when I got my AF I passed tissues and more clots, which to me makes me think that the lining was better than normal. So, fingers crossed that the soy ends up being my magic trick to prevent any future loss. Fingers crossed... if this is real... (see, I still don't believe it...)

And...I can't wait for that line to darken!!!!!
I was celebrating my ghostlines! Atomic even said to me "A line is a line!"

[suregena]

I suppose it's that weird thing about whether or not you can trust the faint lines on ICs, when I guess they mainly remain quite reliable for most. They've been reliable for me in the past, but hey-ho... denial at its finest!

Beadin, how many cycLes have you been on Vitex now hon?

[BeadinMom]

It was like 4...this is my first month off of it.
I could tell you exactly how many, but my calendar is downstairs...yes, I document EVERYTHING. LOL.

Ok, sounds good! I realLy want you to stop worrying that you won't O. I think you wiLL once you stop stressing. What day were you supposed to O? maybe Vitex is to bLame even though this is your month off of it.

[BeadinMom]

Well for forever I've ovulated on CD 14, so this is quite different for me. LOL. Yeah...I'm not sure if quitting the Vitex has something to do with it or running from Hurricane Isaac. I was really concerned initially, but now its almost become a game. LOL. I ran out of Opks & the dig ones I use weren't restocked yet (incidentally, my phone wants to correct "restocked" to "testicles"...that made me giggle). I would've gone to another store, but at this point, I thought why even bother. LOL
Every day I wake up & wonder what my temp is gonna do. As long as I get AF relatively soon (Always been a 28 day girl) or PREFERABLY a BFP ;) I'll be okay. Just waiting it out. lol

OMG....I nearLy forgot about that damn hurricane...talk about a boat Load of stress.. you probabLy skipped it due to that aLone!

:rofl: restocked aka testicLes.... I about feLL off my chair!!!!!

[BeadinMom]

Yeah...I'm kinda hoping that it was delayed, but happened. I don't have too much time to play with b/c of my age, but there's nothing I can do about it all now.
Hopefully my temp will keep rising & maybe I'll get my crosshairs back. (FF gave me some, but then took them back when I got EWCM.. lol)

Me, too!! LOL...I'm glad I caught it & also glad it happened HERE...I could just see me mentioning on Facebook how they "testicles" my favorite wine (or whatever) at the supermarket!! LOL

[HopeandDreamG]

Spinning- any updates. After I had a chemical in march my doc puts me on progesterone a few days after O just in case. When will you get your bloods back with the hcG and progesterone?

[Butterfly Spirit]

Hope, SURGENA got her BFP!!!!!

That should give you more hope too!

[suregena]

Well, we'll see! I'm approaching this very cautiously!!! :o

Not til Monday! My temps are still up. I used the cream. My hcg must be rising as my tests are getting darker... Right?

I'm gonna be so mad If I have to skip a cycle after this, butterfly did you have to after your loss? Next time they will do Clomid bc of my Prog issues. I also think they are worried about Prog bc it causes blood clots and I just found out yesterday what caused my loss is a clottin disorder! I went from havin 2 low risk birth, at birth centers to now being super high risk, it's really messing with me!

I HOPE SO HON!!!!! :fx:

I did not wait, I went with my :awe:..I got hope from ONE lady on youtube who conceived right afterwards using Red Raspberry Leaf tea and Vitex... so the day after my loss was confirmed in the ER I consulted Mocha and Atomic.. both said to go for it, so I did! Then I found RRL capsules at a store by where I live. MUCH easier to do than tea as I hate tea... and well.. when I got to the doc a month later my doc and nurse were in shock it could be a new pregnancy.. lol
But it ended up being just that! In their faces!!! The RRL tea is good to strengthen the uterine lining and the Vitex is for bringing back either AF or O whichever one will come first.
Long story short..too late.. I conceived before AF had a chance to return!
So M/C confirmed.. May 2.. May 3 I started on the supplements and all my old swaying supps..
I stopped Vitex on May 13 because my lines on my opks were coming in then fading out..
and May 21 I got my +OPK
June 3 was my BFP!

But it wasn't easy... I started out bleeding just like in April so I got into the doc the next day for Progesterone.. I don't know if the Progesterone issue comes from Vitex or what..but It was very scary and I bled red all week long!

[spinningmadly]

how long did you take the red raspberry leaf tea? I also drank some after my D&E i think it's what brought my cycles back and helped my lining recover so quick..
RRL can also cause bleeding though thats why I was wondering if you stopped it with the vitex?

honestly if it results in m/c i probably won't wait , most people wouldn't have even tested already to know thye were preg..and would have just thought it was a period..just not sure when they will r/x the clomid.they want me to take it day 5-9.

I would have to go through my Vitex Journey to figure it out..but I believe at that point I was one capsule every other day.. I was weaning off.. hmm, I'm going to go check that out as you have me curious now.

Luckily I made a thread asking how to wean off my meds.. May 19 is when I dropped one RRL capsule.. hmm ..

[Mrs_P]

hey fish any joy??????

BFN for me :sad: still having cramps (although not as bad) and still loosing brown discharge stuff but not as bad. Don't feel pregnant though so just waiting for af really no idea when it will arrive though as this is first proper month on vitex and i o'd a lot earlier than normal.

How do you work out your dpo though? do you count the days after o or do you count o or do you count from your opk+ (or assume o was next day) for me cd22 i opk on cd12, presumably o cd13??? how many dpo am i?

[BeadinMom]

I always count the day after O and start from there.

So sorry about AF, Mrs. P....next month is going to be yours...and hopefully mine, if this one isn't it. June babies are sweet, too!! :)

[Mrs_P]

aw thanks beadin its prob best for us we didn't catch this month as its the same month we caught with ds2 (his birthday is 04/06) but didn't want to not try and waste a cycle but have a good feeling about oct not sure why though

[Mrs_P]

ok so that only makes me 9dpo today then???? Clinging onto to some hope, if frer says take 6 days at most before cycle is due and i usually have a 25-26 day cycle so af due cd26 or cd27 is it def a bfn????

[Shellbelle]

Frer's "6 days before" is based on a 14 day lp/28 day cycle, so you might take that into account. Even their own posted stats show that many women won't get a bfp until closer to 12 dpo.

[BeadinMom]

Sounds like you're still IN to me!!

Frer's "6 days before" is based on a 14 day lp/28 day cycle, so you might take that into account. Even their own posted stats show that many women won't get a bfp until closer to 12 dpo.

ok so does that mean i'm not totally out yet??? I hate this waiting game - still really happy for you shell

[NCBeachyGrl]

Just wanted to jump in say good luck to all you wonderful ladies! We've had quite a run of BFPs since August and I hope to see many more.

Mrs. P, Beadin, and Hope....I'm watchin ya'll and have everything crossed!

[BeadinMom]

All I can do is laugh right now...
My ovulation microscope has total ferning, my cervix is high and soft & I'm having some EWCM. My BBs are still sore and I noticed this morning I have montgomery tubercles.
DH and I dtd last night, he's working tonight and we'll do it again tomorrow. Each time I think, "Okay, I FOR SURE ovulated this time" I end up with more symptoms of ovulation!!
And today is CD25!!!! It's like this is never ending!! LOL!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks NC!! Miss ya!! :) Hopefully we'll all be joining you guys soon!!

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Hi guys!!!! Congrats to all the bfp's and good luck to all in the wait.

[spinningmadly]

keep having hope beadin! I didn't Ovulate til day 28 but we dtd so many times bc I kept thinking ovulation was coming..

FRER didn't give me a positive until 11 dpo night...and my LP is usually only 10 days so 6 days before would be like 4 dpo...which is crazy..lol
wondfos and some other cheap internet test gave me clearer positives before

[NCBeachyGrl]

Thanks NC!! Miss ya!! :) Hopefully we'll all be joining you guys soon!!

I miss you all too! I went out of town and then with the nausea, it has been hard to keep up with everything going on!! I REALLY want you in the due date threads!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks ladies!! I really appreciate the encouragement soooo much!! I REALLY hope this is it.

[fish2012]

aw fish i know how you feel, part of me says its good as were finding it harder to catch its swaying pink but then as time goes on the sway drops which is hard

but then maybe its cause of age for me at least (i'm 30) and fertility is supposed to decline over 25 ish so that every so many sperm and eggs are duds maybe were just catching a dud? But then we caught first month with all 3 boys, it never really crossed my mind it wouldn't happen but then we weren't doing things to reduce ferility

same here was under 30 last time now over (only 31 thou) and dh now has stressful job....hoping it means pinky one more likely ;-S

[fish2012]

Aww Fish, I feel the same exact way!!! Before I just dtd on CD14 and BAM! Baby Boy. LOL.
Now, I'm using opks, temping, checking my Cx (not that I have a clue what I'm doing with that, other than being able to check CM) and still can't get it right. lol.

It will work out for us though...and I know I've said it before, but I really do believe it...the longer it takes, the better the chance it will be a girl. :) Just keep thinking about that! Xx

hoping you're right wise lady

[fish2012]

geanie ff said i had a triphasic chart what does that mean?!

[BeadinMom]

Ohhhh triphasic means looks like somebody's gonna get a BFP!!!!!

Crossing fingers and toes!!!! ♥

[BeadinMom]

Wow. I meant to make it big so you could see I was excited for you...
I didn't mean to make it look OBNOXIOUS. LOL!

maybe it's implantation bleeding you're having? don't like to get your hopes up cause i do it to myself every month!

i'd say you're 9 days same as me!

are you gonna test tomorrow? think i might - probably shouldn't

[BeadinMom]

Fish, 9 dpo is still VERY early!! You're still in the game, girl!!!

[fish2012]

Wow. I meant to make it big so you could see I was excited for you...
I didn't mean to make it look OBNOXIOUS. LOL!

oh really my chart doesn't look as impressive as surgena's......i'm not so sure - it doesn't say it today...?! ;-0


fingers crossed - normal life getting tricky!!!!!! espechally as i have my nose and toes crossed for you and mrsp!

[fish2012]

Fish, 9 dpo is still VERY early!! You're still in the game, girl!!!

i think i asserted SEPTEMBER was gonna be THE month! ......... have a word with your internals and i'll have a word with mine - i'm a boy mum i don't like to be proved wrong!

[BeadinMom]

Eh. They gave me an ovulation date and crosshairs and then they stole them back. I agree with you, I wonder how much of a "FRIEND" FF really is!!! ;)

[BeadinMom]

WTF!

that is not friendly i think i might just DTD from cd10 to af (or dh dies) next month ;-0

[Maple]

I'm joining!!

Not quite in the 2WW, I think I am ovulating today (Sunday). We made an attempt Friday lunch time, and then DH had to go away for work for a couple of nights. We will make another attempt today when he returns, I'm hoping it will not be too late! Annoyed that DH ended up working this weekend, of all weekends! Grr.

Good luck ladies who are still waiting on that +, and CONGRATULATIONS to those who did get their BFP!!!

XX

[BeadinMom]

LOL Fish...that's my plan, too!!! ;)


Maple, good luck!!! So funny to think it's Sunday already there...it's 4:40pm on Saturday here!! ;) hehe
Hope the hubby makes it home and everything goes to plan!!! ♥

[spinningmadly]

I called my Dr today after my HPT"s are getting dark! he said thats a good sign and he checked my labs, my beta hcg was 18 (11 dpo).
he said that early that was fine and we just have to see if they double by monday.

he did call in progesterone suppositories for me. went to cvs though and apparently they don't make them! i had to get them transferred to the only walgreens thats 24 hours around here to make them! urgh!
also spoke to someone that has antiphospholipid..i decided to start the baby aspirin and get into a peri next week..i apparently should have been told to go to them ASAP..
sending poor DH out tonight...

[BeadinMom]

Spinning, so glad the ball is rolling now!! :) Can't wait to see that sweet little peanut in an u/s pic!!! ♥

[genieinabottle1]

geanie ff said i had a triphasic chart what does that mean?!

Triphasic is seen in a lot of pregnant charts, yet it's not a guarantee...It's a very good sign though, especially if it's not the norm for you!!!

[spinningmadly]

Thanks beadin! I'm hoping my hcgs are doubling ! Re test is monday.. Preg tests are def darker.. Darkest one was diluted afternoon pee lol 4631

[BeadinMom]

Yay Spinning!!! So excited for you!!! :) <3

BFN ;-(

I'm cd22 today o'd on cd 13 accourding to fertility friend (begining to wonder if it is my friend thou ;-) so ff says i'm 9dpo i usually get to 11dpo and then af shows next day.....having some cramps today but maybe over anyalising everything now!

:rofl: really made me laugh friend does seem a bit of a joke as of late!!!!

i'm not testing again, am pretty sure i'm waiting on af and the tests round here are soooo expensive. I have no idea whats going on with my body, i want a new one!!!! I still feel really sick, cramping is pretty much going but the bloody discharge has gotten more today and gone redder in parts. From what i knew of ib it only lasts a day or so and its nothing i've ever had before so would imagine its the start of af but no idea as my cycles have gone haywire since i started to monitor them swaying thrown in has made everything so unpredictable

my emotions are all of the place as well i keep going from really sad to really cross - its amazing how hard work this stuff is catching with the boys was soo easy and fun. I had a dream the other day dh and i went into this hospital and they were rows of babies and we got to pic the one we wanted just like in the supermarket - wish it were that easy

[Mrs_P]

oh fish hopefully you can in a few days time, how do you feel

i keep getting period type pains and feel like i did last month before af arrived (just wish it would hurry up now)

[Maple]

Beadin!

I know, I get totally confused trying to work out time zones.. And we are now Spring YAY!

DH made it home in excellent time for our 2nd attempt. He was ambushed at the door, ordered to shower and release, and then we DTD (which was ridiculously tiring - took forever).. He was shattered! Poor bugger just wanted to crash in front of the tv after a hard weekend working. LOL. It was hilarious! I could not stop giggling..

1DPO! I hope it's a BFP this time..

How is everything with you?

All the best & GL XX

[Mrs_P]

been reading all the threads on it and am considering going to bug/beg my doctor for a try on clomid next month.

I'm sick of bfn for one (although this is our first month swaying on our plan we have not been being careful for ages now and were ttc with a cut off before i found you all). I've also been having really horrid cycles, some short, some long long periods of spotting in between etc its worse than all the bfn's continual period pains for days to weeks, last month out of 26 day cycle i bleed for 15 days although just spotting. i also have a really short luteual phase, can be as short as 9 days from opk+ Never had any trouble before. Also seems to sway pink just as well if not better than herbs etc. Although no idea if he will even consider giving it to me for these reasons, i saw him a few months ago about my cycle and he said he wouldn't be bothered until we'd gone a year plus and not got a bfp

any ideas, i can't talk to anyone else in real life about this stuff so any advice would be great

[spinningmadly]

My dr was willing to try the Clomid next cycle if this doesn't work out based on my low progesterone and short Lps ...have you had Prog checked at 7 dpo at all?

[BeadinMom]

I am so upset right now. I knew my cycle was crazy this month, but I really believed it would happen. I was so sure of it. I really believed my temp dip today was O. So we BD'd this morning & then again this evening...after, DH went to the bathroom to clean up & noticed blood. So I went to the bathroom & noticed bright red blood when I wiped. Not a lot, but definitely spotting. My cycle was due to start again in 4 days. I guess its here early.
I am just so sad.
I guess I will be calling my doctor tomorrow to see if they'll prescribe Clomid. I can't believe I'm even at this point. I feel sick.

[Lassie1982]

Hugs beadin xo
Is it possible that the blood was implant spotting? Or was there too much for that?
If you'd on cd19, that would put you at 7dpo which is the right time for implant bleed..

If not, then see if you can get some Clomid - and if they won't give you any, maybe give Soy Isoflavones a try? Though strictly speaking they don't sway pink...

Im so sorry it been such a long road for you :(
Im hoping and wishing that you see those 2 lines really soon, try not to lose hope....this will happen for you, it WILL!

:hugs:

[suregena]

Beadin:

That was my worry with soy isoflavones (not being the most girl friendly thing) but hearing from atomic and people that used it like purplepoet made me want to give it a try. I certainly noticed a positive effect to ovulation... and taken with antihistamines, hopefully it counteracts the boy-friendliness of it... because this last cycle, I didn't have a ton of CM leading up to ovulation. Maybe managed to get some on my finger when I checked but certainly not tons.

purplepoet20 took soy and is having a girl: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-your-girl-sway/8243-9cycles-trying-now-9mths-waiting.html


I think if we took it without doing other things, it would probably certainly sway heavily boy, but considering what everyone is doing, it might just help you have a good egg and a good ovulation and a good environment for the egg to implant in.

It's worth looking into if you cannot get clomid. If you don't want to risk it, then I'm not sure. Are your cycles usually normal?

(I really wanted to get pregnant and also I had two miscarriages before I got pregnant with my son, the second miscarriage happening right before I got pregnant with him, so I often wonder if my uterus was in a slightly 'richer' state from the lost pregnancy so he could implant easier. All just guess work, but I've wondered... so I was hopefully leaning on the fact that maybe soy could build up my lining for a good implantation, if anything!)

[spinningmadly]

I'm sorry beadin :(. I was also wondering if it was too much blood to be implantation bleeding?
If I didn't get a bfp I was going to try soy next cycle myself (if drs didn't give me Clomid) since I o so late in my cycles... So maybe that is a good option?

[fish2012]

oh beadin so so so sorry for you....is it still going maybe o spotting or implantation bleeding? so sorry that's just so crappy I know your pain wish there was an easy solution hun

Uk ladies how easy is it to get clomid???? any experiance reckon it might be nearly impossiable tbh - have been considering it too x

[fish2012]

Come on surgena pee on a stick and cheer us up with a nice dark pink line, we seem to need it at the moment!

[BeadinMom]

Thanks ladies...
Your encouraging words mean a lot. I'm going to call my doctor today to see what the next step is. It's just so hard to understand this. I usually have very regular cycles, but this month, the hurricane hit right before my usual O, so it was delayed...or maybe never even happened - who knows at this point??? I never did get crosshairs on FF and even today, its giving me a green day. I don't even know what to think. I'm pretty sure this is too much for implantation bleeding & now I'm having cramps.
I guess I'll see what the doctor says & go from there. I am so grateful to know Soy is an option. At this point, I just want a baby...boy or girl.
Thanks again for being so sweet to me. It's nice to know I have such a support group here when I need it. <3

I caved and bought a cheap Boots own brand which I've never had luck with in the past!

RESULTS!

Top is 8dpo night time urine, bottom is today 12dpo with afternoon urine I only held for 1 1/2 hours. :)

[fish2012]

WHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO

Surgerna i've held back a little on this cause i remember the pain of the chemicals you've had over last few months but that is deffiantly a BFP!

Congraulations so pleased for you xx

[Mum23boys]

Depends if u do it through your doc or not ..... I know its not great to tell people to do thigs that are not 100 % safe but my friend is using Clomid that she ordered online - she has a friend who is a pharmacist who looked at one of the tablets and anyway long story short they are genuine so she gets her supply from him. He charges £25 per pack of 10 tablets that are 50mg in strength and he did tell her not to take more than 50mg unless she was under the care of a doctor as the side effects on 100mg can be nasty and also if your not taking them for medical reasons but to help u concieve a certain gender it could be dangerous therefore she is only going to do 3 cycles at 50mg and then if she is not pregnant re think ...... Im not saying i condone it but I am seriously thinking of stealing a cycle worth of tablets from her if i dont get pregnant this month !!

[spinningmadly]

Had my 2nd beta drawn this morning and progesterone.. Wished my dr had put stat on it so it would come back today.. But I gotta wait until the morning! Ugh..so nervous...

[Mrs_P]

hi beadin, are you sure you didn't ovulate earlier on in the month. You got an opk same time as me from what i remember (although you were concerned it didn't stay positive for long). Maybe you o'd then and had a short positive phase but for some reason temps were off. If you had o'd then it would be the right sort of time for af now (i'm spotting awaiting af any day now from an opk+ then)

[BeadinMom]

I was technically due AF on Wed. I'm sure it's AF. I don't think I ended up ovulating at all this month. I'm just so disappointed and I guess the hormones don't help.
I have a call in to my doctor's office to see what the next step is. I'm assuming it'll be Clomid. I know they say it sways girl, but I know so many people who have taken it and had boys.
Not that I even care at this point, I just want a healthy baby.

Mrs. P, I hope next month is yours. I'll keep you posted on what my doctor says. Please keep me posted on how you're doing. Thinking of you. Xx

[Mrs_P]

aw thanks beadin :hug2: so nice to have you all here.

i'm feeling pretty miserable again, keep flicking between teary and wanting to rip someones head off (so not me at all i'm usually happy). Back on diet in preparation again so am starving to and my sickof these horrid cycles with days of spotting and cramping, its worse than the bfn's.

am going to see doc later on in the week see if he'd give me clomid then may do a cycle af to af of sp and vitex and strict diet then a clomid attempt by this time after ds2 i'd not only got pg but had a baby to. kinda gets to the stage where enough's enough - go kick your docs bum too (although i'm not holding out much hope my doc would like 12 failed cycles first)

[BeadinMom]

I know exactly what you mean...I've never had problems getting pregnant, but I'm 40 now and things are different. At least you're young and you have time. I'm afraid this is never going to happen for me.

Maybe you could fudge a bit and tell the doc you've been trying for a bit longer? It's hard to believe I've been planning my sway since March and here I am in Sept and still no baby.

So sorry you're bouncing back and forth with the emotions and hormones, I know EXACTLY how you feel. I've spent most of this morning crying.
(((( Mrs. P )))) Keep me posted on everything. I'm thinking of you. ♥
