October 2ww

[Shellbelle]

Well...
I still feel rotten & even with being sick and running fever, I had a temp drop this morning. AF should be here by Wed.
Thinking of you ladies still waiting & saying a prayer you get your BFPs soon!! <3

And big congrats Kasey!! So happy for you!!

Big dislike! :(

[cravingsalt]

Emily, wow, that's a nice IC line! Congrats again!

Beadin, so sorry about your temp drop. What you said before is right, just the icing on the cake. :worry: I'm still spotting brown (tmi? sorry!), just running to the bathroom every so often to check if the witch finally came for real to put me out of my misery. We may end up being AF buddies this month instead of what we'd hoped for- but cd1 is the start of new possibilities!

[Boymomsrock]

Beadin--You and I are in the same boat, AF arrived today. I sure hope you are feeling a bit better today.

Emily--Beautiful BFP! Congrats again!!

Kasey--I would keep testing each day but it sure sounds like a BFP! Cautious congrats! :)

[cravingsalt]

Sorry, boysmom... can't wait to banish that wench from all of us for 9 months, very soon.

[Praying4Pink]

Well ladies...

15DPO and.....

I am :pregnant::omg:

[cravingsalt]

Grasping at straws here. Spotting for three days and bfn but no af and temps are still high, making my mind wander...

So, in 11 cycles of precise charting, FF always drew my line at 98.0 so this month I just started temping at positive opk until I reached coverline on 10/3. For two days my temp was at 98.0 so I assumed I o'd on 10/2. Then I decided I wanted a chart to look at so I worked backwards to cd1 and improvised my pre-o temps based on their usual range. This method puts me at 13dpo (my longest luteal phase is 13, but usually 12), but with a bfn, high temps and brown spotting for two days (only with a tampon in, tmi!). Anyway, here's where my mind wandered...

If the two 98.0 degrees were actually part of my pre-o temps, I would actually be 11dpo today, having had spotting and a dip at 9dpo- and would explain high temps but possible bfn still...meaning it could still happen.

See, told you I'm crazy. Now that I wrote this out and embarassed myself I will undoubtedly start AF today. Might...as well...press...POST!

Stupid 2ww.

YAY!!! So happy for you!!! Congratulations!!!

Let's get some more girls!!

Craving you are not crazy!!

[Praying4Pink]

Thanks ladies! Your congrats really have made my day today. It is still super early yet and I haven't really told many people. I figured since you ladies have been there to support me through all of these months of ttc the least I could do was post my news.

Craving - I don't think you are grasping or crazy at all. Ovulation and all of this ttc jazz can be so confusing. It is still VERY possible that AF will not come and you are pregnant. Especially with those temps. Yeah suck it MF IF! LOL. I really hope this month is your month too Craving.

Beadin - Are you feeling any better honey? I hope that bug goes away fast and that you are on your way to a speedy recovery. Maybe the bug is due to a BFP? You never know...My throat had been hurting bad for days. Thought I was coming down with something.

Butterfly, Shell, Kraizy thanks for the congrats ladies.

[Sunflower3]

Congrats p4p!!!! Yay!!!! Lets keep the BFP coming ladies!!! So excited! Did you have any early pregnancy symptoms?

[Dreamofpink]

:cheer: Congratulations P4P!!!! Really happy for you!!! :cheer:

[kaseybaby]

Congrats P4P and Emily! How exciting.

My line is definitely light enough to test other test and see if they are darker, but dark enough it showed up on a photo. I feel like AF is on her way. So I am really not convinced this is it. I think it is just left over HCG.

[Mrs_P]

I know! Mrs. P all my period stuff has said late also but I know that the soy is probably throwing it off a bit. I did O 4 days late. Yes I do believe I might test in the morning. I'm so scared to test! I would be crushed getting bfn especially after missing af.

OMG OMG!!!!! Just logged on to this post first and noticed your tickers changed - WOW your pregnant lady - congratulations and well done to that little red man (i never he looked powerful wagging his little red finger, af never stood a chance)

[Mrs_P]

sorry if i'm being stupid but what is MF IF????

Well you ladies have cheered me right up its sooooo nice to see things working out for some you - am so sick of ttc'ing and month after month of bfn and although i'm going to have a month off i don't i'll give up just yet - that and those beautiful little twins celebrating their first birthday.

13dpo and BFN for me :tissue: again but to be honest i'm just glad the 2ww is nearly over i hate the last few days and the mind games it plays (although i do love the fact that i can join the 2ww thread and chat to you all - feels quite lonely the start of the month in comparison - we should have a waiting for the 2ww thread). I officially give in with my body i was so sure i was pregnant this month - boobs have been sore (never happens for me unless pg), i've been teary and irritable and i had cramping a few days ago, plus my period is 2 days late - bloody clomid giving me false hope but hey ho onwards and upwards and at least i won't fall its tricks next cycle i take it (and it has lengthened my luteal phase as promised). Just waiting for af to start now as its been threatening it all day.

Any news beadin x ps have you tried soy or clomid

[kaseybaby]

Mrs. P you aren't out yet!

MF IF stands for Male factor Infertility

Male factor infertility. :)

I totally know what you mean, Mrs. P, it's so nice to see some positives and know that your turn is coming soon. And to be able to get all angsty and neurotic with other ladies who really understand. I had a bfn this morning on IC today also. I blew through my supply so all I have left is one FRER, which I was saving for a confirmation, victory POAS.

I know we all say it, but it's not over under the awful auntie shows. I'm still clutching to hope against hope. What pg test did you use? Using this handy dandy link Pregnancy Test Results by Brand | Countdown to Pregnancy (http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/brands.php) I found that with my Wonfo strips, 14.4% of pregnant testers get a negatives still at 13dpo. (I know, I'm enabling, tell me if you want me to stop) :shemademe:

[cravingsalt]

I feel like AF is on her way. So I am really not convinced this is it. I think it is just left over HCG.

Famous last words! I think that's what about half of pregnant women say before their test. :fx:

[Praying4Pink]

Sunflower - In retrospect yes I did have symptoms but I really was unsure if my mind was just playing tricks on me. It has been known to do that. I had creamy cm...not a ton but enough that I noticed. Was having that wet feeling down there (thought it may have been an infection). I had pinching in my lower back for a few days (thought it was my kidneys). Cramping for one day (thought af was coming early). Felt nauseous (thought it was the prenatal). Had headaches (thought...well they were just headaches). I knew something was up last night when I removed my bra though...holy ouch!

Kasey - I never tested the HCG out of my system because I was always too afraid of getting excited and not being sure if it were the HCG or a real +. Stay positive honey. AF felt like she was coming for me too at one point. Remind me again...how long post trigger can you test with certainty? Sending up prayers for you honey.

Mrs. P - Yes thank you for sending that red man my way, lol. He is pretty intimidating. I would stay away too :rofl:

Dreamofpink - Thank you for the congrats! How are things going for you?

No, craving thanks for the support, i feel like i'm going crazy over here. Sure i'm out though and won't test again, its too expensive, tests were cheap ones from supermarket but it feels like af is coming now so glad the wait is over. Weird isn't it i took it for granted with my boys that we would just catch and we did (ds2 caught the month before we started trying, ds3 i knew i was pg the minute i got a smiley face on my opk the first month we started trying, this month we have dtd 6 days straight and nothing bfn two months of dtd at opk).

I think when it happens for us (and it will) we will know and not be squinting for invisible lines and driving ourselves mad. I REALLY hope if you are not pregnant, next month is yours x

Well at least you know you're very fertile, lol!

You're right, I know. and thank you. What a lovely way of looking at it. My plan for next month is to actually not buy any IC's because when they are in the bathroom they beckon me and it's so easy to obsess. So I have my one FRER. This month is just a hard one for me, I just had that feeling like I would be, and so did hubby- and I've hoped, but this month felt different. Oh well, so much for intuition!

[Mrs_P]

yeah we had the same feeling, in fact i had a feeling for october ever since june for some reason - think my radar is off or broken after three kids.

Although you never know IF af shows up which hopefully it won't you will o and conceive in oct so it could be your month after all.

Here you go my little crew for you and the scary red man (he worked for p4p so maybe he has some power and i dare af to defy him)

:noaf: :nono: :noaf:

[KraizyDaizy]

14DPO expecting AF by tomorrow since my temp is so low...:broken:

[Mrs_P]

Oh Kraizy really sorry this whole BFN thing sucks big time - one day we will graduate the 2ww though and your little girl be well worth all of the heart breaking moments that she took to conceive and its looking like we'll all be joining you so at least you won't be alone.

Which reminds me i had the strangest dream the other day that everyone got pregnant and i spent all the 2ww talking to myself - really weird

[cravingsalt]

Haha!! Mrs. P, if that little red man works again then we oughtta post it in the title of every 2ww from here on out!

Sorry for the temp drop, Kraizy. Such a bummer. Sometimes I don't know what's worse; being warned with our temps or finding out when we go to the bathroom. I've had it go both ways. When you see the temp drop you're just waiting for the inevitable (first thing in the morning no less)...but when you get surprised it feels a little like an ambush. Last month I had a pg test ready when I went to the bathroom, pulled down my pants...and SURPRISE! At least I saved a pg test. (You're welcome for the visual) :bigsmile:

The general consensus is 10 days post trigger, but people have said on line that they have had it in their system until 14 days post trigger.

I tested again today, and the line is still there. No darker, but not really lighter either. Just pretty much the same. I am not 12 days post trigger.

[BeadinMom]

Hey ladies...
Just sitting here waiting for AF to show. BLAH.

I haven't tried soy or clomid yet, Mrs. P....but I'm going to the doctor at the end of the month and I'll be asking about clomid.

Just want you ladies who are still waiting to know I'm putting you in my prayer box....prayers in my prayer box get answered...so you BETTER be sure this is what you want!!! ;) hehe

[Mommyof3boys]

Congratulations P4P!!!

[kaseybaby]

So being the addict I am I took two tests today. One at around 2 PM and the line was barely there. Then I took one about 20 minutes ago and the line was darker. Gah! I hate this artificial HCG! I don't know what to believe

[BeadinMom]

Getting darker sounds good!!!! Congrats little mama!!!!

[kaseybaby]

Beadin, I won't believe it unless it gets darker tomorrow morning. I also left this test for like 20 minutes because the line didn't show up right away I just walked away. I am so afraid to get my hopes up.

[Sunflower3]

P4P - I think I'm having early symptoms but then I think it's just mind playing tricks on me. Who knows. Only 6 dpo today.

[BeadinMom]

Beadin, I won't believe it unless it gets darker tomorrow morning. I also left this test for like 20 minutes because the line didn't show up right away I just walked away. I am so afraid to get my hopes up.

Crossing fingers and toes for you, Kasey!!! I really think this is it!!!

[babygirlforme]

CONGRATULATIONS Prayingforpink!!! :celebrate: So happy for you and your family!

[babygirlforme]

Fingers crossed your line gets darker Kasey!

[Sunflower3]

Kasey when will you test again?? Fx for a darker line!!!

[KraizyDaizy]

Officially out, AF came like a thief in the night, stealing all my hopes and dreams this month...yes a little dramatic I know, but for me its just so devastating to go through another month, without her...

Praying for all you ladies waiting to test or have BFNs already. Praying so hard AF does not come for you...

[Navywife620]

I am joining you ladies! 1DPO today!

[Mrs_P]

oh really sorry kraizy - if its any consolation i'm pretty sure mine is on its way as we speak feels just like its about to happen - sorry tmi at least if it happens at night your not running to the loo every five mins to check x

[Sunflower3]

I'm sorry Kraisy!!! 😠

[BeadinMom]

I am so sorry, KraizyD...
I'll be right beside you next month...<3

[KraizyDaizy]

u ladies are wonderful! thanks for all the your kind comments. I really do appreciate each and every one of them.

My OB said my 21-day progesterone results show I Oed, just did not catch that elusive baby girl egg. She is willing to let me try Clomid a couple more times, but then it's on the an RE which will not happen since I cannot afford it. I guess I will be Oing Halloween weekend, so I will try this roller coaster again LOL!

I do have a question to ask you all. My sons were conceived in Oct, Nov, Dec & Jan, so I am thinking I read somewhere that these months are my fertile months? or some mumbo jumbo like that? and am I more likely to conceive boys in these months? Maybe I should wait till next year, but I don't want to really. I am getting older by the minute!

[fiveboysandagirl]

Out of interest, my five boys were conceived in Feb, April, July, Aug and Sept. If anything, it seems the spring and summer months sway blue for me! I'm hoping these autumn and winter months might have the opposite effect.

DS1 was conceived in November and DS2 was conceived in August.

[Dreamofpink]

Navy - I'm similar to you, DS1 was conceived in November and DS2 end of July. However, they're only a month apart with birthdays as DS1 was 10 weeks early! Last Oct I was scared of falling preg, but after a year of ttc I just want a baby now!

[Praying4Pink]

PFP- how many months had you been on soy this cycle? Do you feel it contributed to your BFP? Trying to figure out if I am going to try it a third time.

Craving this was my second month of soy. I don't know if it contributed to my BFP or not. I am a religious gal so I believe that God and prayer was the only thing that made this thing work. Actually...the first month I tried soy it screwed my cycle up and I think I O'd twice. I said I wasn't going to do it again but alas I did. I O'd 4 days later than normal and I was convinced that soy screwed me once again. I would say...3rd time may be a :luck: It can't hurt right?

Hum Kasey that's a tough one honey. It is very hard to say. I mean if you can bear it...and if your pockets can bear it...or if you just "happen" to have IC at home then keep testing. Test until you have no more pee-pee left in you. I would think the line should get lighter as the days post trigger increases. IDK honey you might very well have a positive-positive on your hands. I know you don't want to get excited. I was the same way. I would NOT test until the whole day that AF was due went by. I couldn't bear it if it were negative or if I tested and she came later that day. Prayers headed upstairs for you!

[kaseybaby]

Took another test this morning and it was negative. Guess it was left over HCG. Oh well, on to next month!

[Praying4Pink]

Mommy and babygirl - Thank you so much for the well wishes! They really mean a lot <3

Sunflower - I hate symptom spotting but it is so addictive. I try not to look too much into symptoms but then they just reel you in. Uggh! Well I really hope your symptoms are the real deal. What have you been having?

Navy - Lots of prayers and babydust for you honey.

Kraizy - So sorry about AF honey. I am hitting the :thumbsdown: button for your post. Grrrr! Best wishes for a new cycle! Hopefully this will be the one. Come on BFP :cheer:

OAN: Just for S&G my mom told me the exact same thing that Kraizy was talking about. I have two brothers and our birthdays are June, July, and August...meaning conception was September, October, and November. I had DS1 in July (conc. in October) and this baby was conc. Sept. I think the Winter months are something special :rofl:

[Praying4Pink]

Took another test this morning and it was negative. Guess it was left over HCG. Oh well, on to next month!

:thumbsdown: DISLIKE!

Check your insurance and see if they cover the RE. Also you can get a lot of the tests you need done at the OB and have it charged under that instead of infertility. Please have your DH sperm checked. My DH and I conceived TWICE one shot deals. His sperm was fine. Now it is a mess, and we would have never of known had we not had it rechecked. It can happen. Let me know if you have any questions, and I am praying you don't have to go down the RE route.

[My Three Sons]

I'm here for the 2WW. I think I will be Oing today or tomorrow and we DTD the past two days... My PH is good today, so I am hoping and praying this is it!

[Sunflower3]

7dpo and major heartburn since 4 dpo. Any thoughts?

[BeadinMom]

Officially OUT...
AF has made her arrival. Nasty woman!!

Oh well...onward and upward!! My doctor's appt is Oct. 25th...hopefully he'll put me on clomid and things will progress quickly...a girl can hope ;)

Thinking of all you ladies still waiting with me!!! XO

[BeadinMom]

Sunflower, no thoughts, but lots of good wishes!! Hope this month is yours!! :)

[Sunflower3]

I conceived in February/may/June. All boys!!! I don't think months sway. I also conceived ds3 in a new moon and cancer sign strongest female sign.

[Sunflower3]

Terrible heartburn at night, cramping and a bit of cm. probably nothing. I am trying not to obsess but yea it's hard.

[cravingsalt]

I am sorry to hear about the wench Beadin and Kraizy! I really wished she would stay away. I had another temperature dip today so pretty sure I'll be joining you by tomorrow morning.

Kasey- that really stinks about the hcg. But when is your period due? What a rollercoaster. <hugs>

Navy, glad you finally o'd! Babydust to you! We hand the torch over to you, go get your bfp! Sunflower, Mythree, Mommy, anyone else just coming into the 2ww... you too!

[kaseybaby]

Sorry Beadinmom, but I have fait the Clomid will work!

Cravin, she is due on Thursday, but I have a feeling she might show tomorrow.

[Sunflower3]

Sunflower, no thoughts, but lots of good wishes!! Hope this month is yours!! :)

Me neither. I never get heartburn. Ever. We will see in a few more days.

[BeadinMom]

Still holding out hope for you, Craving...♥

Kasey...so sorry this wasn't it. Next month will be. And we'll be due date buddies ;) XOXO

[cravingsalt]

Thanks, Beadin...that's one of us, lol!

I appreciate your response, PFP...I think I'm going to try soy one more time on days 3-7 again. Three times may be a charm, or three strikes and soy is out. Either way, looks like I'm going shopping for supplements!

[cravingsalt]

Officially OUT...
AF has made her arrival. Nasty woman!!

Oh well...onward and upward!! My doctor's appt is Oct. 25th...hopefully he'll put me on clomid and things will progress quickly...a girl can hope ;)

Thinking of all you ladies still waiting with me!!! XO

Well, the good news is that it looks like your fever is down. Are you feeling any better, hon?

[cravingsalt]

Me neither. I never get heartburn. Ever. We will see in a few more days.

I hope you're right! It always sounds promising when they're symptoms you don't usually get. For me, I never really got symptoms until after bfp...but I sure thought I did many months!

[cravingsalt]

I do have a question to ask you all. My sons were conceived in Oct, Nov, Dec & Jan, so I am thinking I read somewhere that these months are my fertile months? or some mumbo jumbo like that? and am I more likely to conceive boys in these months? Maybe I should wait till next year, but I don't want to really. I am getting older by the minute!

I don't think I'd wait, but I don't subscribe to those type of things very much. I say go for it! Life is short and personally, my clock is ticking!

[BeadinMom]

Hey Craving...
Thanks for checking on me...yes, I'm feeling a bit better!! Thanks!! XOXO

[Boymomsrock]

Beadin--looks like you and i are sticking together for another cycle. ;) Hoping this one is it for us! So glad you're feeling better!!

[Lassie1982]

so sorry beadin and kraizy :hugs:

wishing and hoping for you grils that next month it it for you, you so deserve to finally get this!

Craving how are you going? have you tested?

[CherryBlossom]

Sorry to interrupt here.
Sunflower - I had heartburn about 5dpo!!! I remember rushing around the shops amongst last minute Christmas shoppers trying to find Zantac lol.
Despite that I took so long to test. But when I did I got a bfp =D.
Just when I should have tested I also noticed my boobs pretty much went up a size lol.

Best of luck sweets!!!

Thanks cherry! This morning I woke up with it. I've been getting it at night but now in the morning too? I don't want to focus on it as a symptom but its really bad at times.
My boobs are about the same but with breast feeding they always seem a bit on the full side!

[cravingsalt]

Now this is just not nice. Temp drop to pre-o, I'm 15dpo and have never made it past 13dpo unless pregnant, and no AF. Just waiting for the witch still.

[KraizyDaizy]

To those taking Clomid or Clomid gurus, would you take your Clomid on cd1-5, 2-7? I have heard about using it days 3-7, or 5-9, but the others are new to me? Does anyone know the reasons for or not taking it early? Heard more women conceive if it's taken early?

I have been looking into taking mine early this month. Any thoughts?

[Praying4Pink]

7dpo and major heartburn since 4 dpo. Any thoughts?

Sounds promising Sunflower! I actually had indigestion bad. Every time I would eat, I would feel like I had to burp and burp and burp. That is NOT like me. I don't get gastro upset very ofter...stomach made of steel, lol. So when I felt queasy and kept burping I felt like something was up. This might be it Sunflower!!!

I wonder if the reasons are the same as the reasons for taking/not taking soy early or late? If you look up the soy isoflavones thread I know that atomic gave advice for each schedule.

[Praying4Pink]

Beadin - I am hitting the dislike button :thumbsdown: Grrrr! That witch may have gotten you this time but we are sending the big red angry man to intimidate her so she won't show next month. :nono:

Kraizy - When I was doing IF treatments before the doctor had me take Clomid CD3-CD7. Now when I did the soy the first time I did CD5-CD9. This time I decided on CD3-CD7. That worked. But I would have certainly tried CD1-CD5 just to see what worked for my body. I really think it is a matter of how well you stim and what preference the doctor's have. I was on 50mg of Clomid and had tons of eggs. Let me do some research and see what I can find out honey.

Craving - How long is your LP? Is it possible you O'd later than you thought? I really hope she stays away :noaf:

Usually 12 days. Sometimes 11 and once 13. Never 14. So I suppose those two days of 98.0 degrees could've been pre-o, maybe. Thinking it doesn't matter because 97.7 is my standard "getting my period today" temperature. :worry:

From everything I have read...Taking Clomid or Soy earlier gives a lot of follies but they may not all be of good quality. Taking it later produces less follies but they are better quality. I agree with Shell...Atomic has some good info on soy!

Well Craving I don't know much about temps but anything is possible. I mean you said your LP has never been 14 so there is a first time for everything. There is also a first time for a temp drop and still BFP! I do not want to hit the dislike button on you craving :rofl: Don't make me send the angry red man your way like Mrs. P did for me. Mrs. P...I think we need an angry red man over here for Craving...stat! :nono:

Yes -- if I recall correctly, taking it earlier has the potential to produce more eggs, but they may not be good, mature eggs. Taking it later will give you maybe one or two good, strong, mature eggs. The 3-7 is right in the middle, so it's the best of both worlds.

For you soy girls, I took 180 on cd 3-7 for three cycles before getting a bfp. It messed with my cycle the first month, but actually caused me to O a couple of days early in the third.

[Navywife620]

Doc told me it had to be taken within the first five days, he recommended starting day 2 but since it was day 3 when i saw him i started it then x

Just remembered read on here starting day 2/3 yields more eggs but all may not be 'ripe' or developed or something, later days yield fewer eggs but better quality - no idea if it works although as its come from here i would imagine its true but not asked doc about it x

Yep same over here 15dpo to - with bad period pains (cramping) and back ache - have you tested recently temp drop aside (as i hate temping and don't believe in as the one i tried it chart broke all rules and was awful but i got pg anyway with ds3) it sounds really positive x

[Mrs_P]

[weeziewoozles]

Only 2dpo and already had a few cheats. Where did my willpower go??? Ugh!

I've been soooooo hungry since O! I've stuck to the diet really well but did have a pain au chocolat this morning. I made sure it didn't make me go over my calories or fat for the day but it's the first time I've had anything before lunch. Luckily it was delicious - fresh from the oven! Feel a little guilty but not very!

[My Three Sons]

Well, maybe I'm not in my 2ww just yet. I thought for sure I'd O today or yesterday, but today the OPK had a line almost as dark as the control line. I don't know if it is on the upswing or just missed it and on its way down... My temps don't show that I Od yesterday. We dtd on Sunday and Monday, so 2 days ago. Do you think we should tonight or would that be too close to O? My PH shows maybe a 5, it's so hard to distinguish the shades sometimes. I don't want to miss the boat all together, but not sure what kind of mood DH will be in to dtd tonight (bad day today for him). What do you think? If I O tomorrow, that will be O-3, but if I just Od then it may be close to 0+12. Oy, this is sooo confusing.

[cravingsalt]

Oh my gosh, Mrs. P and PFP- I jumped on here to post the crappy news that AF showed with a vengeance...but I got a good laugh from you girls! Hahahaha! Pee on anything that moves. That's how I've felt for the last ten days, LOL! Thanks for the cheering up.

Mrs. P, it's all you!! When was your last test??

My plan for tonight is a glass of wine, some cheese, a good movie and comfy pajamas. Then strapping back into my (looser) LE diet, and off to buy some more soy for cd 3-7. Come on, cycle six!

[pebmcpd7]

I am 1DPO now, congrats to you all that have got your BFP's this month, hope I am joining you at end of month!!

[kaseybaby]

Full AF today. I eased the pain with a hamburger. I figure I deserve one :)

My RE always has me taking it starting on day 3. Me personally would take it how it was prescribed, because your hormones really do fluctuate ever single day, and there is a reason why they specify which days to take Clomid.

[Mum23boys]

Morning ladies I think I am officially 1dpo today ( got my smile on tuesday morning) ? Look forward to chatting to everyone. I havent yet read through all the 61 pages so excuse the impersonal entry into the thread :-)

oh no sorry hun :sad: was really hoping it would be good news, if i've still not had af i will test again tomorrow morning - 17dpo it should be showing by then if its going to

[Mommyof3boys]

I was hoping for some suggestion on when I should test. My cycles are usually around 30 days, but last month it was 35. I haven't started temping yet, I have always o'ed pretty regularly on day 14 of a 28 day cycle but I had an IUD revolved in June so my cycles have been off. I'm not sure when I should test. I am currently on cd25 and we used FR and dtd on days 14, 16, 19 and 21 hoping to catch o. Any suggestions?

[weeziewoozles]

Full AF today. I eased the pain with a hamburger. I figure I deserve one :)

I'm planning a takeaway pizza very soon, either when I get my BFP or when AF arrives! If it's AF I will probably eat very little the rest of the day so I don't completely blow my calories as obviously I'll have to continue the LE diet! DH is away on business till tonight so I've waited to POAS till he was back - so hard to wait but I've managed it. Testing tomorrow morning! So scary!

Yum. Pizza sounds so good!

How many dpo are you weezie? I am 9 dpo but I doubt I'll test until after AF us due. Still getting heartburn and have back aches but other than that I feel fine! 😊

I'm not sure when I O'd as the OPKs were a bit vague. But just going on my cycle I'm 11DPO so thought 12DPO would be OK to try first test. With both boys I just tested after I'd noticed AF was late. They were both conceived first try so I wasn't expecting them yet I guess. I've had lots more CM than usual, a headache for a couple of days and been ravenous! Fingers crossed! x

[Sunflower3]

I have heartburn, mostly at night. That's basically it. I don't plan to test until after AF is due since I'm breast feeding and this is only my second cycle after getting back pp AF I just hate the heartburn!!!

[KraizyDaizy]

Well, I decided to take my Clomid days 1-5. I know it's crazy, but I am hoping it works this time! I am desperate to be over all this TTC! Now if I could get twin girls that would be a dream come true!

[Navywife620]

Yesterday I had some yellow EWCM when I wiped throughout the day. Now I am just wondering if I ovulated after all!! Anyone get yellow tinged ewcm after ovulation?? Last month it was just creamy.

[cravingsalt]

Full AF today. I eased the pain with a hamburger. I figure I deserve one :)

I totally agree! I had a blue cheese hamburger last night. Last meat splurge, on to cd2!

[cravingsalt]

Mrs. P! In charting if you make it to 18dpo with high temps, it's an automatic preggo. I'm so excited to hear from you today...

[Mrs_P]

Thanks Cravin but only 16dpo today and not temping so idea on that one but i don't feel pregnant - i'm having lots of period type pains and weird brown discharge at various times throughout the day so its more likely my af is trying but struggling due to the clomid.

Still i suppose in 2 days time i'll reach 18dpo so maybe i'll get preggers by default - it seems on here though everyone has had a bfp by 13dpo and mine was def neg that morning

You have certainly beat me this last cycle on Clomid. Took it cd5-9 and did not O until cd18 and finally got my AF on cd32 which was 14DPO, so you certainly have a chance at making it to 18DPO. I am praying and rooting for ya!!!

[BeadinMom]

Well...
I had my labs drawn today - they were CD3 labs (as in AF is currently here).
So funny...
I think since they KNEW I was on my period, they didn't want to tempt fate, so they made sure they got me in there right away. LOL. I didn't have to wait - AT ALL.

Anyway, the ball is now rolling and I am SO NERVOUS about what these labs are going to say.

Beadin! That's great. I was looking at all the options to start looking into and was wondering about the cd3 test but thought we should probably do hubby's testing first. Thinking about that when his new job's insurance kicks in. Anyway- good luck with your testing! Fingers crossed for lots of happy healthy little eggies!

What are cd3 tests? what does the blood work look for?

[cravingsalt]

Ovarian reserve. It looks at your levels of FSH to determine how many good eggs you have left- Apparently the number increases as you age and more stimulation for your eggies to get developing for o. Sound about right, Beadin?

[BeadinMom]

Sounds right to me, Craving...
That's my understanding, too.

We actually did have my DH checked out recently...when I first started swaying a few months ago, his ph was high...it was right when I found GD. I mentioned it was high to Atomic and she told me that I should have him checked out, that it could be an indication of infection - which he is prone to. You should've heard THAT phone call...LOL! He made me call his urologist and tell him that I was checking his ph and found it to be high. LOL!! Grrrrrrrrrrreat!! After a pause, the nurse said, "Umm....you must be in the medical field or something."
Anyway, they thought I was NUTS, but I told them we were trying to conceive and wanted to make sure everything was in working order.
The doctor ended up ordering a Semen Analysis - which turned out to be completely normal, although on the VERY high end....as in, no doubts why we have boys.

So...I know he's not the problem...it's me. I just hope that my anxiety has been keeping me from conceiving and that once I find out everything is normal (which I'm praying that it is) that I'll relax and everything will fall into place with a BFP.

[BeadinMom]

I really am anxious to know what this test reveals... :(
I hope I don't have to wait until the 25th to find out.

[cravingsalt]

Hahaha! Beadin, what a story. Something to laugh at when you are holding your little bundle and talking about what it took to get there.

I had my hubby checked out when we were taking so long getting pregnant with ds1. He was fine. He was moooore than fine- I forget what his count was but something like 6x’s more (quantity) than what the threshold would be for “enough”. (No wonder we have boys too!) So I was kind of pleased that his output has been less this time around (noticeably). But hopefully he’s not shooting dusty blanks- that won’t sway anything!

What we actually *think* it ended up being was a blocked tube. We did the HSG (dye test) and I saw the dye shoot straight through one tube, but in the other it go to a certain point, slowed down, stopped…then shot right out. The tech said it might’ve been a little blob of mucus. A little mucus blob that gave me heartache for over a year! The next month I got pregnant. Coincidence? I don’t know. I do have two tubes but at the very lease that little blob may’ve cut my chances in half over the long term.

DS1 was 6 months when we pulled the goalie to try for #2. One month later, pregnant! I’m thinking of having another hsg test done to see if we can knock another blob loose… but I’ll give it a couple of months first. This month’s plan: soy and evening primrose oil! And the LE diet, but not going to go overboard with it like I was. Better choices, portion control, that kind of thing- versus the white rice/pasta/parmesan cheese/crystal lite diet.

I guess I’m on cd2 so I’ll stop posting in the 2ww about my stuff.

For all you other ladies waiting- good luck! Warm up those hpt’s for us and get the next bumper crop of bfp’s going! Meet you all in the due date club very soon (positive thinking, positive thinking). Especially you, Mrs. P!

[Mrs_P]

Oh beadin really got my fingers crossed for you, hope everything is normal - i'm sure it is though given what the girls were saying on the other thread about how difficult it actually is to get a good sperm, a good egg and for it to stick added to all the swaying things were doing its no wonder its taking a while.

It is this just a wait and see cycle or are they going to try you on anything? I have a hospital appt next month my doc arranged but that was why i asked to try clomid (that and swaying reasons) i kinda figured it would be three months for the appt then a month or two of monitoring (and they probably wouldn't have given me anything anyway as if we were ttc normally there wouldn't be a prob)

Thanks, that was a good read!

No worries, my hopes will be up again this next month. Hope floats, whether you like it to or not.

[BeadinMom]

Love that!! Hope floats :) Great movie, too! (Even if I did cry my eyes out in the theater and had a date that night that I had to cancel because my eyes and face were so puffy. LOL!!)

Craving...my sister had the exact same thing happen with her with the HSG thing & got pregnant directly after! She said she was going to do it all over again last year when she was trying to conceive again and she never got to do the HSG...but she did deliver my nephew a few months ago ;) lol...
I hope next month is lucky for all of us!!

Mrs. P...all of our hopes are hanging on you, honey!! :) Wishing you lots and lots and LOTS of luck!!! XOXO

Ovarian reserve. It looks at your levels of FSH to determine how many good eggs you have left- Apparently the number increases as you age and more stimulation for your eggies to get developing for o. Sound about right, Beadin?

FSH is the quality, AMH is the quantity. You can have a low amount (like me) but have them be good quality (again like me).

[Navywife620]

Navy - I had yellow ewcm and creamy cm almost every day after O. I kept saying to myself, "this is quite strange. I never get yellow cm or any cm for that matter". Rooting for you!

Thanks! I am not getting my hopes up and I have had a full blown cheat day :( I feel sick and so mad at myself right now. I need to stick with this in the TWW. Even though if I don't get my BFP this month I think we are going to take a break and start trying again after the holidays.

[weeziewoozles]

FX for you hunny keep us posted !!!

Today I am anything from 11 to 14DPO so I did my first test. It was a BFN! :sad: Poo! I will try not to lose hope just yet as I know it's still early and I am using cheapies. Bit worried about continuing the LE diet as I've been on it for 6.5 weeks and have lost a stone (or 6.35kilos)! My BMI is now just under 19. I guess I just have to wait a bit longer and test again or see AF.

U need to up your calories hunny until your holding steady if you are loosing that much weight. FX for you to get your BFP thsi month though. x

Hi there - I was worried about my BMI dropping too low too. Eat some empty calories to top up - soft drinks, boiled sweets etc are great for adding sugar but really are empty and of no nutritional value!! Good luck

[Mrs_P]

Ok so i tested this morning and i *think* i may be pregnant?!?

17dpo but test was really faint - shouldn't it be darker by now if i really am pregnant? I know when i o'd cause i used a digi opk got my smiley, cervix position and texture change and what bit of cm i had went the day after, plus i am on clomid and it said o 5 to 10 days after last tablet (which it was cd7 last tablet, cd15 was o).

I tested 12dpo BFN 13 dpo fmu but with supermarket test (was the faintest hint of something that normal person would have seen but it looked like a ghost line), 15dpo (after my exam and pee hold test was as my dh said inconclusive although we both thought we saw a faint line). This morning fmu (but only 4 hours - get up too much with the kids in the night) def a line but still faint and i still keep feeling like af is on her way with period type pains - i will post a pic but my phone is rubbish and test was light so not sure it will show.

Has anyone else ever gotten a bfp this late, with both of my boys (ds1 didn't test til 11 weeks as i didn't expect to be pg and the test didn't work as i far too far along!) i got my bfp within 3 days of period being due and really strong lines - no questioning i was pregnant.

Mrs. P - I tested at 12 dpo with ds 3 and got a bfn. Didn't test again until after AF was due )16 dpo) and a BFP! It's possible. .

[Shellbelle]

That sure does look like a positive, sweetie! Do you have a FRER? Or can you get one? I hate those blue due tests and their funky lines lol! FX for you but this test looks like its +++!!!

Thanks ladies. I've been eating sweets, biscuits, chocolate, fizzy drinks, pudding and ice cream - normally I'd only the chocolate from that list - to keep my calories above 1500! I think my body has really been missing the protein. I just had a huge bite of DS1's chicken salad sandwich which is the first bit of meat I've had and it was delicious!

I bought a more expensive test today so will use that tomorrow i think. I'm such an optimist I didn't doubt a BFP so I'm thrown! On the upside I'the slimmest I've ever been as an adult!

[Mrs_P]

no i don't have an frer could possibly get one although dh banned me this morning - he said your late, its positive, stop stressing and spending our money - can't blame though over here they are £12 a test - think thats double dollars and i've spent a fortune on them in recent months.

Test wouldn't have been the one i would have chosen but dh went and brought for me the other day whilst i sat my exam and didn't like to moan

I had a good feeling for this month and some promising symptoms and got a bfn at cd13 - pretty sure i'm pregnant though - moms intuition is often right

ps emily also posted on here at 12dpo saying its a bfn but its wrong and she got her bfp

[Mum23boys]

I didnt ever get a positve on those clear blues even at 16dpo it was negative but had strong lines on the FRER - I got tesco own ones for about £6 for 2 so might be worth it to put your mind at rest if you have tesco near by ?? I defo see a line though so i think u probably are pregnant :-) TOLD YA SO :-P

Hi there, yes I got BFNs for this bean and DS2 and both were wrong till later. Mother's instinct is sometimes better than science:)The tests I was using said after a negative to wait 48 hrs and try again. Hard to do but a good idea.

Your a stronger woman than i am, good job i got my bfp as i gave up on the diet about 2 days into the 2ww thinking whatever was going to happen had hopefully already happened, i'd been on the diet since june and was starving!!!!!

P.S It's not £12 on a FRER test, it's £12 FOR PEACE OF MIND which is priceless :rofl:

I thought the same when I got the BFN this morning so had a chocolate pastry with my mum! Can't keep up like that all day though or I'll never get back on the diet! The muffins are pretty good actually. They'd obviously be better with loads of cocoa and dark chocolate chips running through them but hey, they're sort of cakes! x

[fiveboysandagirl]

I caved in and bought a test. 12dpo. What do you think? I see a shadow but I might be imagining it!

I also had a very faint line this morning. I tried to take a picture but I couldn't get one that showed the line. I'm not sure if it is really a bfp though because I had already written the test off as a bfn because i didnt see a line at first and when I went to throw it away I saw the line. I'm going to wait and test again in a few days to see if it is really a bfp.

[fiveboysandagirl]

Congratulations Mrs. P!!!

Wait, are there 3 BFPs today?!? Mrs_P, fiveboysandagirl, and mommyof3boys!

Woo-hoo! Way to go and congratulations girls! Lets keep the BFPs rolling in!

I'm 6 dpo today. Not too hopeful- this is my 8th month ttc. I don't post much but I do check on you all and keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Especially you Kraisy!! Don't give up:HH:

[fiveboysandagirl]

Thank you all of you, but I daren't get excited yet!

I too have become more of a 'lurker' on here lately. I am interested in keeping up to date with everyone's news but try not to spend too much time on here because I get all obsessed and it's not good for me! I'm sure some of you will recognise what that's like. This is our 3rd month TTC, 4th if I count my bfn in July at Genesis.

I will cautiously wait to see what poas brings over the next few days...

DH is sure we're out this month but then he's a pessimist. But it's making me stress! Wish I'd not tested this early. Wish I'd waited until AF was late or arrived and then I'd know for sure! So badly want a blow out dinner tonight and I know he does too but doesn't want to pressure me. Keep thinking that if I am pg, I don't need to be on LE any more but if I am not, which is probably true, I need to stay on the LE for next time! Don't want one meal to mess it all up!

I can't wait to read all about your new baby girl in your blog. I know it will be an awesome read!

[fiveboysandagirl]

It sounds embarrassingly boastful, but all five births were totally natural without any gas or anything. I'm a glutton for punishment! Whether I'll manage a 6th I'm not sure. I'm older now and a bit more fragile!

He doesn't know - what he doesn't know won't hurt him (the test that is, he knows about the baby of course!)

Girls your births sound ideal, i'd love a water birth this time, ds1 i had an epidural, ds2 i tried for another epidural but it didn't work so just had gas and air (but both births went over 2 days). Ds3 i wanted a water birth but had bleeding and became high risk so he was gas and air and some pethidine they persuaded me to try which didn't work as i was about 10 mins off having him and it didn't kick until after birth (i felt that drunk it was like i was going to fall off the bed i couldn't end hold him)

[cravingsalt]

Oh my gosh, Fiveboys and Mommy... CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't believe what an awesome day it has been for BFP's! Keep 'em coming girls!

I did another test today and thought it looked like a negative, until a faint but obvious line appeared after about 3 mins. AF due tomorrow so we'll see what happens. On another note, I think I might have a touch of cystitis. Now I've never really suffered with that before. I'm more of a thrush person. I'm actually thinking that 3 months on the LE diet has changed my body acidity. Which, I hope, is a good thing for what I'm trying to achieve!!

[babygirlforme]

Woohoooo Congratulations Mrs P, Fiveboys and mommy3boys!!! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months!

[Mum23boys]

COGRATULATIOS everyone - I am only about 3-4dpo now and will be testing a week on monday I think - i could test on the weekend when i will be 10dpo but dont want to risk a bfn ruining my weekend.

[prayforaboy]

Hi We BD on Oct 16 and now 2WW time.... I will take a pregnancy test next Thu ... keeping my fingers crossed.

[weeziewoozles]

So hard this waiting lark! Having had a BFN yesterday I am trying very hard to wait until AF is definitely late (if it is). So that would be about Monday I think. Still not sure on my cycle though so I am guessing really. Decided to compromise tonight on my craving for a blow out dinner. We are going to have takeaway pizza tonight! But I'm going to have mine with low fat mozzarella and a few veggies as the topping (I'd normally have one covered in pepperoni and chicken!). I would historically eat a whole large to myself so I am going to have to stop at half at that's 900 calories!

DH is convinced we've missed out this month as he thinks we overdid the FR (with two releases a day for 7 days before the first try) and he feels he had nothing to give. I think that even if this is true, we did the right thing trying it as both DS1 and DS2 were first attempts, so I guess our fertility is good. If we are out this month, do you guys think we should cut the FR down a bit next cycle?

[Sunflower3]

I tested with a FRER and got a BFN. I'm 11 dpo but tested with an opk just to see and I had a very dark second line. Not sure what to think??

[Mrs_P]

don't give up weezie i got bfn at 13dpo (stark white not even something a poas addict like me could make out) didn't get my bfp til 16dpo, we did fr from cd2 onwards dtd from cd9 onwards and my dh really struggled with that and the lr, we used sylk at every dtd so i was sure it was going to be too much but something got on in there - keeping my fingers crossed for you x

[Mrs_P]

Sunflower have a look what strength they are and compare them. You can use an opk as a preggie test as the hormone is based on the same thing (you just can't use a preggie test as an opk) but a lot of opk's actually have a higher hormone rate than pg tests so most people don't get an opk+ til after a BFP but if you have sensitive sticks it is possible (i think its in ml/U, i think my opk is 25ml/U whereas internet cheapy tests are 10ml/U). From the times i have used them though i have not found FRER's to work early for me - it was white when i took one 10dpo (5 days before my bfp registered and def within seven days that af was due my LH is normally 10-11 days)

[weeziewoozles]

Thanks Mrs.P! You've made me feel much better as did my cheeky half a pizza - yummy! I will definitely test again on Mon or Tues if AF doesn't show herself. X

Congratulations - why do you think the bean is blue? Even without swaying the bookies would put the odds at 50 50. Enjoy the lovely BFP and stop worrying - plenty of time for that when your children start bringing back dubious looking 'partners'!!!

[babygirlforme]

I conceived a girl after 5 boys and I felt like you five boys. I was so scared at being pregnant again and worried. I just hope we can do it again and she comes back to me. Your number has to come up eventually and I bet this is your time! I am so excited for you. Praying that it's your girl snuggling in.

[Mommyof3boys]

I feel the exact same way Mrs_P!

[fiveboysandagirl]

I just got my CD3 test results back...my FSH is 10.5, so my OB is referring me to an RE....the RE just requested an AMH - which I had drawn yesterday, waiting for those results. I was so upset about the FSH, but after talking to a good friend who is incredibly knowledgable about this stuff, she made me feel a lot better...
AND now knowing that you got pregnant with high fsh, I feel EVEN BETTER!!
You've given me hope!! :)
Good luck with that sweet sticky PINK bean!!! XO

I'm out this month ladies. AF arrived early today. Oh well. On to next cycle!

Dislike!! I hope November is your month!!

[fiveboysandagirl]

Sunflower I'm sorry to hear that.

Beadin I got tested back in June in preparation for my pgd cycle at genesis in Cyprus. My results came back really poor... I had a transfer, just, but the cycle failed. I didn't know what to do, but started atomic's LE diet figuring I had nothing to lose. Still no sign of AF today so my 'poor' fertility may not be so poor after all. (even after eating next to nothing for months and drinking a ton of aspartame!)

I am so happy for you. 😃

6dpo today.. not feeling hopeful and we decided to take a TTC break if I am not pregnant this cycle. We are going home for Christmas and there is just no way I could stick to the diet 100% when I am home. So we will be trying again in Feb.

I totally understand Navy! I was saying to dh there's no way I could do the diet over Christmas. And thanksgiving would be funny. I'd be eating mushrooms zucchini and cauliflower while everyone else eats turkey and all the great side dishes? I have one more cycle before taking a break.

I hope this is your month Navy!!!! Fx! TX!

[Navywife620]

So today I been a little crampy and my boobs have had a heavy feeling in them. I've been trying to ignore them to not get my hopes up. Well I was just taking a shower and I looked down and noticed something comming out of my nipple. I squeezed and it looked like a tiny bit milk. Now I did breast fed my DS2 for 2 months but that was over 2 years ago. Can this be normal? I guess I'm more worried about it being breast cancer or something. Oh and it was out of both nipples. Only when I squeezed.

[weeziewoozles]

Just checking in see if there is any news from weezie - so did you poas woman???????

You're so sweet! I decided I'd rather wait patiently for AF rather than become a POAS addict. So I have cheap tests and FRERs calling to me but I am ignoring them! Given that my cycles are not yet regular as I only stopped BF DS2 in June/July I don't really know when to expect AF, but I thought it would be last Friday, hence testing then. So, AF could be three days late or she could be due tomorrow! If she doesn't appear today I may give in and test tomorrow as DH and I are off on a date night and I want to know whether I can eat or not! Will keep you updated! Can't believe all the BFPs this month!

[fiveboysandagirl]

Still no AF today. Nausea ramped up a gear yesterday! Actually almost retching whilst brushing my teeth this morning. 15dpo, isn't it a bit early for that??
What board should I chat on now? Since I'm probably not in the 2ww any more?

due date buddies!

[fiveboysandagirl]

Ok, got ahead of myself.. Spotting. Must be chemical and nausea just connected to that. DH happy to get another month of action.. Lol.

Fiveboys,
Have you had your progesterone checked? It could be low and you need a suppliment? I had spotting with my second son and he was not a chemical, so please don't count yourself out yet. Have you been to the dr yet? Praying for you.

[fiveboysandagirl]

No kraizy I've never thought to have it checked. I have a few months' worth of progesterone supps left from ivf. the spotting has stopped but I feel a bit crampy.

I would call my dr and get blood work done. Then they could give you progesterone and keep an eye on your little bean. Glad the spotting has stopped. Maybe it's implantation spotting?

[BeadinMom]

I spotted for my boys, too...low progesterone.
My doctor ran labs and then put me on prometrium caps. (progesterone)

Good luck, FiveBoys&AGirl...
Thinking of you!!! ♥

Wishing lots of luck to all the new BFPs, too!!

[fiveboysandagirl]

I just did another poas and can't see a thing now. not even a shadow. Never mind. We'll have another go next month. I don't get in a state about it any more.

FiveBoys&AGirl...
I am so sorry, but your patient attitude about it is admirable...

I would still get my progesterone levels checked just to be sure they're okay, so this doesn't happen again.
I'm actually going Nov. 5th to have CD21 levels drawn.

Sometimes I really think we're doing ourselves an disservice by testing so early...so many ladies have chemicals they wouldn't have even known about, if they had just waited until AF was due to test. But the desire to know is so overwhelming!!

[Praying4Pink]

I just wanted to drop by and let you ladies know that I am thinking of you all and praying for your BFP's! Can't wait for you ladies to join the due date groups for June/July/August. I will keep the seats warm for you all! :trips:

[EmmyRoo]

Hello, I think I'm 1dpo today, think I'll test at 10dpo at the earliest, but ideally 12. Hoping my temps give me enough hope to resist the tests! fingers crossed for everyone. X

[Lotte]

Five this is so sad!
:hugs:

[Mum23boys]

oh no hunny im so sorry :-( Not good !!!

my ds3 is 2 and i still get this don't think its anything to worry about a year or even two years is not that long in body terms for it to go back

Famous last words i said that 4 days before my bfp this month - will look out for yours LOL xx

[Mrs_P]

Oh five really sorry your spotting - maybe its a late implant bleed though, i had spotting with ds2 and he was fine - fingers crossed for you (ps my test did not go positive til 17dpo)

[fiveboysandagirl]

It's really alright. I already have a lovely June baby! I'll try for a July one..
It's true, I bet we've all had chemicals before and not known. Those blinking sticks are just so tempting!
I think I'll try soy isoflavones this month. Has anyone else tried them or had success with them? Also I've been so strict with the diet I'm surprised I even got a chemical. I might just add a bit more fruit and maybe rice to up my calories a bit.
