January 2ww

[lovemy2blessings]

Hello ladies I'm starting this new thread for our hopeful bfp this New Year!
I'm anywhere from 7-9 dpo...not sure because it was my first month on Clomid. Fx for our bfp this month and for a healthy baby this year!!!

[jillibeeen]

I'm 8dpo but for some reason got a dip in my basal temp (below cover line! ) which is making me nervous. Crossing fingers for BFP and Blue sway!!! So anxious!

9dpo today and have what I think maybe IB (I have been spotting since yesterday...like brown discharge and feeling bloated). Tested last night and today bfn.

[Tomgirl]

How are all you ladies holding up?
I'm around 7/8dpo and thinking this might be it fingers crossed. I have been horribly horribly beyond anything ever normal for me cranky and just down right pissy. I'm starting fights with my hubby over nothing and just find everything irritating. Yesterday I started getting horrible leg cramps I got one in my calf the day before and yesterday got them in both calves and my thigh. Very out of the ordinary for me. I pounded water and even ate sweet potatoes for dinner in case it was potassium or dehydration but this morning the cramps have started up again. I've had a few waves of nausea but part of me thinks it's the crap food I've eating and my body not liking it.

The other thing I have noticed is I've become very gassy and constipated.
Fingers crossed this is it!

How is everyone else feeling?

[lovemy2blessings]

Unfortunately, I had a 21 day cycle so I will be back very soon I can hardly wait!
Nausea, constipation and gassy were my signs with DS2..so this is a good thing FX that you get your bfp!!! Keep us updated.

[Tomgirl]

Aww sorry to hear lovemy2! Does that mean you didn't ovulate since it was so short? I hope you get your bfp ASAP!

I'm hoping for pink but thinking I am just meant to be a boy mommy! We shall see if this is the month or not.

[jillibeeen]

Ugh! I'm now 12 dpo and got another dip below coverline! (2 dips on 7 dpo & 12 dpo). I also did catch the 24 hr stomach flu during this 2ww and was throwing up from both ends every 20 min! (Tmi) Had a BFN last night at 11 dpo... This is my 1st month ttc but I'm 33 and DH is 34. Trying hard to sway BLUE! Sounds like I'm out, Doesn't it ladies? Saad face.

[lovemy2blessings]

Yes, unfortunately I didn't Ov but today I start my second round of Clomid and Fx that I get abfp by the end of this month! I pray that this is it.
Oh no jilli hope It's nothing, but 2 temp dips not sure hmmm I did get a temp dip at 9dpo and then af started ;( if It's your first Time TTC It's ok don't beat yourself up. I'm sending you all my baby blue dust to you;) GL mommy and keep us updated;)

[jillibeeen]

Unfortunately, AF started today :( Super bummed. I should be ovulating again around the 20th of this month. Hoping for a sticky blue bean very soon!

[lovemy2blessings]

Oh no sorry jilli;( I should be Ov somewhere around the 16th..Fx to us!

[b'smommy]

AF came yesterday :(. Any BFP's yet? I have a scheduled appt. with a fertility doctor on the 24th, I am not sure if I should tell him everything I have been trying with the GD site. Anyone else in the same boat?

[Tomgirl]

I started spotting yesterday so just waiting for AF to hit full force :( Never thought I would still be trying. I know it's normal but I've never had to try so it's hard not being pregnant already! I'm going to be 37 in April so want to get pregnant ASAP. My cycle is jumping around too. For the past 3 months since starting the diet I've been 31/32 days and this cycle I'm back to 29. Time to buy another set of OPK's

[Redsstarr]

Newbie here. First month ttc. I have been tracking my cycles since September. Ov on January 9. So I am 4 dpo. I'll test on the 17 or 18.......so we'll see.....:) fx for us all!

[lovemy2blessings]

I hope you get your bfp Redstar! Keep us updated. I'm due to Ov this week. FX that I do!

[MIka1104]

Hello ladies! This is my 4th month in the 2WW and I feel a lot more patient this month. After 6 yrs on the pill I finally see signs of being fertile again so I'm excited. I'm currently on CD13 so my 2WW is almost here. Hopefully I'll continue to be less anxious than I was in current months. Good Luck to you all!

[Redsstarr]

I must confess I stalked GD for the past few days be for I decided to join. You all very supportive. I think its so awesome to join together in one place to achieve the same goal. It may sound odd to confined in strangers than people in our "real" lives. I guess maybe its a fear of being judged. ( well for me anyway) Beings as I have 3 boys people think I'm nuts for thinking Ill have a DD. I'm happy to have found this site. I was on BabyCenter (WWAPP) in 2009 when I swayed for pink and got blue again . I was hard to take in at first but now I cant imagine life with out Orrin. DS3. But still I find something missing, that can only be filled with a DD. So Im here again with all of you(thankfully) not alone!!!! FX for us all in our dreams!!!

[aprilbride]

im about to go into the 2ww - I should O today/tomorrow and did for the last 3 days. Fx for pink baby!

[Fbunny3]

Hi ladies! I'm also on my 2ww! How soon is anyone going to start testing after ov? Some tests say they can detect pregnancy 4 days early?? I have 11 days till AF is due and I can feel it will be a longgggggg 11 days!!!!;)

Hi everyone, I'm TTC pink and just got a pos opk this afternoon and already BD so I'm jumping in here and hoping for the best!
Lovemy2blessings soooo glad to find you on here!! FX you o this week!! And thanks for starting this thread :)
Welcome to GD, Redsstarr, I know what you mean that it's nice to have a place to talk about the ins and outs of swaying without being judged. You are definitely not alone. Other people are curious but do always say they still think it's just a 50/50 chance. FX'd for this one to be your girl!!
Tomgirl, you're not out yet, I'm 37 in March so I understand wanting to get pg fast, sorry it hasn't happened yet. We didn't really have to "try" before either. Are you planning on having more after this? I'm not sure if we are or not yet.
Mlka1104, this is my 4th 2ww also, I didn't think I would necessarily get pg this first month but I was hoping for before the end of the year, but here we are! Glad you are more patient this month :) Good luck on catching that egg!!
Aprilbride, so did you get married less than a year ago? Congrats and GL! I'm swaying pink too! XX!
Fbunny3, I think I'll test at 9dpo, maybe 10dpo so maybe the 23rd? When are others testing?
jillibeeen and b'smommy, so sorry to see AF, have been there before. I just tried to always look at it as a chance to strengthen our sway :( Jillibeen, have you checked out How We Got Our Boys thread? Very helpful. Maybe we'll catch you again before the end of the month! FX for everyone!!!

[Redsstarr]

Jillibeeen~ With my first 2 ds used Ov test and tracked my O. And dtd like 2 crazy newlyweds.

[aprilbride]

Dancin machine, got married last april. This will be my second time ttc as first sadly ended in MC.

[jillibeeen]

Jillibeeen~ With my first 2 ds used Ov test and tracked my O. And dtd like 2 crazy newlyweds.

Did you BD as soon as you got the positive OPK? Shettles method? I think I might get Preseed this month as I hear it helps to sway blue :)

[MIka1104]

Dancin Machine, I also got a pos opk last night. FX for both of us!! According to my chart, today is my actually O day and then goes the looong 2ww. I am going to test around 11 or 12dpo. The last 3 cycles were a big disappointment and I kept having all kinds of symptoms so I'm gonna keep busy and try not to symptom spot :-/ if that's even possible. Things were SO easier with my 2 daughters lol. And jillibean, I'm with you...I'm soo desperate for a boy!! I hope it happens for us soon!

[Tomgirl]

Welcome to all the new ladies! I'm now on CD4 so a ways to go before O but already calmer about it then previous months.

Dream machine this will be #4 and our last. I have 3 wonderful handsome fellas and dream of having a little girl! I've always just ended up pregnant without thinking about it...I have had 3 surprises each time I thought I had already ovulated just based on cramps and cm. Never charted or anything. This time I am using OPK's so I know for sure when to DTD. I know it will happen when it's meant to so I've calmed down which can only help my sway...obsessing never good for wanting pink :)

[nikcib]

Hi Ladies,

3rd cycle TTC and already frustrated. I know it's still really early but I got pregnant so easily with the boys. I try to stay positive thinking that it's good that it's different but it's so hard thinking "is this it? for two whole weeks." I am fine during the 2 weeks leading up to O but the 2 week wait is awful. My boobs hurt just walking around and that's so weird. Logically, I know 2DPO is way too early to have symptoms but I can't help but notice the pain. I also looked at the Chinese Gender Predictor and learned that I would have a boy if I did indeed get pregnant. I know it's probably nonsense but it was correct for my other 2 so now I'm worried about that. I really want a little girl but more than anything I want healthy in all ways.

[Redsstarr]

At the time I didn't know of any method for ttc. I just used the opk when I got a + we dtd. And I laid there after with my legs up for ever lol really like 20 minutes. I'm a salty food person. I really don't like any kind of fruit. We ate a blend of all meats. Red. Fish. Chicken. I would love to help you get your blue bundle so please feel free to ask ask ask. I don't know anything about swaying blue. So it's more personal to me what I did at the time ect.
For ds 3 I was a member of baby center and they refer a lot to ig. So I was on that site too. But it was a fail. Ttc pink and got blue. Gender disappointment was unbelievable and so sad I left the groups. At the time everyone got pink I was happy for them but so sad for me. It took a few months to bounce back.

[lovemy2blessings]

I'm sorry nikcib- I know how you feel this is month 7 TTC and month 8 on LE diet. I can't imagine going another month, but I guess I have no choice just praying and staying positive that the upped dosage on Clomid gets me to Ov sometime this week. I'm on CD12 and no pos opk yet. :( I'm thinking about seeing an RE next.
DM- I got my boys by bd every other day after af until I got a pos opk, I had big O's all the time. Ate pretty much everything and always stayed in the 2,00 calorie limits with DS2 and worked out before getting a bfp with him. With DS1 I was a couch potato and same had the same diet. I always had cereal for breakfast and if it helps Chinese Calendars were correct with both :)

[Dancin Machine]

Redsstarr we're both in San Diego! I'm in El Cajon. Was out running every morning on Chase but now I'm in the Rancho San Diego 24 hr every morning. So sorry you had so much disappointment last time. Really hoping you get your girl this time!
Aprilbride, so sorry for your loss. Really hope you have a good healthy pregnancy this time :)
Mlka1104, sounds like we're spot on! Good luck to you too! But I hope you get your boy, you can have my blue dust :)
Tomgirl, it's so hard to not get obsessive, especially swaying pink! How wonderful to have gotten pg so easily before, my first was a (pleasant) surprise and second DS it was our first month trying. So this is new to me too, "trying."
Nikcib, that's encouraging your boobs are sore, right?! I'm 4th cycle TTC pink too. Are you using exercise in your sway? My Chinese calendar said boy too but it was wrong for my first even using lunar age so I don't trust it.
Lovemy2, that's a long time. I'm so sorry it hasn't happened yet. You're a great example for staying the course. You're amazing!
You girls sound like you should share your stories on "How we got our girls," How we got our boys" threads. That would be helpful and it's good to hear the other side too. Nice to meet you all on here!

[Fbunny3]

Morning ladies! So how are we holding up? I'm on only 4 dpo and all I can think about is 'am I? Aren't i?' Driving myself mad!!
Feeling v aching down below still but not sure if that's a sign or just mind over matter!!
A quick question, is anyone still having coffee in the 2ww? I know you are meant to not have caffeine, but at the mo I'm still having one a day:-/
Lots of baby dust to us all!:)

[Redsstarr]

Dm. Are you just loving this weather. I'm in lemon Grove lol!
Sooooo.,....... at 8dpo I got a bfn. Should I but to much thought in to this?

[MIka1104]

Hello ladies. 1dpo...here we go again! :-) I still feel a lot more patient but its only the first day. I'm sure by 7dpo I will be itching to test lol! I do feel a lot different this time around though, even after af I noticed a difference in my body. So that's a good sign. I'm feeling hopeful.

Nikcib, I feel the same as you do...it was easy with my first two. I wasn't really trying at all and I didn't even test until I missed my period. Also, I have 2 daughters and know exactly how you feel about being nervous about gender. I didn't even check the Chinese Calendar this time because I don't want to stress myself out. It was right about my first two. It did get 2 of my sister's kids wrong, though. Try not to stress too much.

Dancin Machine, I wish I knew how I got my girls so that I can add that to the forum, but I have no idea. I didn't really pay attention. A couple things I did notice was that I was at my smallest weight b4 both girls and I was never much of a big eater and ate little meat. I worked out a lot with weights but did a lot of cardio as well. And hubby and I dtd a lot, but I wasn't tracking O. I just thought I had 2 girls because girls are dominant on both sides of my family. I'm praying for a little man this year though! My dh really needs an ally :-)

FX for all of us!

[MIka1104]

Redsstarr, it's still really early...don't get discouraged. Are you having symptoms?

[Redsstarr]

Let's see I'm really moody. Snapy. Boobs are achy. Back pain mostly the Lower part.

[rums]

13 dpo today. AF due tom.Very nervous to test. No real symptoms except slight lower back pain.Been gettign AF like cramps since morning so not hopeful :(

[Redsstarr]

So when does everyone uesally wait to test. It's been 4 years since ttc. And I guess 2 we seems like a life time. Like a Lil boy waiting for the day of there 6th birthday party! Lol. Does first morning urine really matter? Dh doesn't ever ask about the test. So every time I find a unique way to tell him. Hehehehe.

[Dancin Machine]

Fbunny, how are you swaying, blue or pink? I'm not sure about blue but I think it's fine for pink. Hard to keep yourself busy and mind off it, huh. Hang in there!
Redsstarr, yes, awesome weather, I feel a little guilty to the rest of the country! We're not that far from each other in east county. Don't worry about bfn at 8dpo, still too early. Keep testing, fx!! Those all sound like good symptoms. Early morning urine is best since it's been collecting in your bladder throughout the night. 2ww in my mind says to test on 14dpo but I know most test before then. I have heard of 9-10dpo but I don't think you're out til you see AF so just keep testing.
Mlka1104, I understand you wanting an ally for DH, mine has his now I want mine :) And you sound just like a girl mom lifestyle wise. So interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Rums- welcome and really hope you get your BFP soon!! Fx!!

[Fbunny3]

Hiya DM, I'm swaying pink so phew!;) I'm only having one a day but that one helps to get me started!;)
Feeling very normal today which is deflating:( but it's funny how ur mind plays tricks on you!!
Read on another post how lots of people have got their bfp from 9dpo so that means I have 4 more days to go before I'm allowed to start my testing frenzy!!
I wonder where everybody is from on this post? I'm from the uk!:)
Xxx

[MIka1104]

Hello, ladies. FX for you today, rums and Redsstarr!! I have a looong way to go. This will be a busy holiday weekend for me so hopefully I don't even think about it. I'm only 2dpo (sigh) so I just gotta get through this first week.

[nikcib]

Wow 8 months! That's dedication! I'm not on the LE diet. I should be but do not have the willpower. At this point, I really want a girl but am happy with another boy. I guess I'm taking the "hope and pray approach" with a little bit of swaying. We are doing one attempt with CFR which is much different than the other two. My cycles are different now too so I'm hoping getting older will help sway girl too. I was pretty young with the first two boys (26 & 29)

[Dancin Machine]

Nikcib, I'm relieved to hear of someone else who isn't doing LE, I've tried to follow some of the principles but finding out I'm not doing it well. Been able to make other changes though that I feel good about. I'm hoping age helps me too, my boys are almost 5 and almost 3 so it will be a bigger spread between these, I'll be 37 in two months. Fbunny, I feel like any symptoms I thought I was feeling are gone, but I haven't given up hope. We'll see! Mika, hang in there, it probably will be a long weekend.

[Redsstarr]

I had never heard of the LE DIET till joing. I was not on it. I can't seem to find alot of information on it. Any thoughts there.... ;)

[jillibeeen]

I just bought preseed yesterday. Today I did 2 Lh test and got a faint line on both. Does that mean I should DTD? According to my FF calendar, I should be ovulating Jan 19, 20, or 21. Oh and I'm trying to sway BLUE! I've been eating bananas, potatoes, beef, V8, Apple cider vinegar like crazy! Any advice?

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[nikcib]

Redsstarr. Oh it's good to see another no LEer here too. I knew I'd be in the minority because that's the primary means of swaying. My biggest problem is that my 2nd son is on the autism spectrum and I guess I feel like I'm mourning the loss of the way I thought life would be if I had two typical boys. So now though I want a girl because I always wanted a girl, I also would relish the opportunity to parent another boy that hopefully might be typical in development (I'm spending more of my time swaying non autism vs. girl). I also would like a girl because the ratio of girls on the spectrum is less. I hope this post doesn't sound like I don't love my 2nd DS. I absolutely do! He's charming, happy, social (high-functioning but has significant language delays) and teaches me more about myself every day but it's not the life I expected. Since I'm trying to stay as healthy as possible and avoid toxins I feel some of it is counterproductive to LE. Atomic was gracious enough to help me out in this area. So this is how I feel comfortable swaying at this point. Hopefully it will work and I'll have a healthy baby either way.

[lovemy2blessings]

Omg! I just got my first positive opk!!! Wish me luck ladies as I will be posting more on here with my 2ww:)

[Redsstarr]

I know 2 ww means 14 days. To the average person this time flys. To a woman who is ttc it's a life time. So 10dpo and afternoon poas was negative. I'm feeling very neutral. I have learned a lot in the past 10 days. As I JUST joined at like 2dpo. So many things have changed or are so different than the sites I was on when ttc pink in 2009. I bought cranberry. And will add that to my next sway. As for le I'm still learning. So we'll see.
glad love my blessing. Looking forward to hearing your sway.

[jillibeeen]

Omg! I just got my first positive opk!!! Wish me luck ladies as I will be posting more on here with my 2ww:)

Just got my First positive OPK tonight too! Got my preseed ready! Please send me lots of blue dust! Fx to us both!

[nikcib]

Redsstar, i'm sorry to hear about the bfn. I've gotten many of those the last few cycles. I start testing too early and keep testing. I've vowed to be better this month but I sincerely doubt I will be since I'm already itching to test at 6dpo. I'm going to try to hold off until 10dpo. With my first son I got a bfp at 10dpo. With my second I got a negative but then went on to test very positive on 12dpo. I didn't test on 11dpo because I was convinced I wasn't pregnant with the bfn. So you never know! 10 days is still very early.

[lovemy2blessings]

Baby dust to us and that this New Year brings us our DG!!! I definitely Ov as I got a blank digi today. It has been a long journey, but I'm glad that I have FINALLY Ov.
Red- I got a pos with Ds1 at 10 doo and thought I would get a pos at 10dpo with DS and I didn't it was a bfn! You will never believe but I didn't get a positive until 16dpo lol.

[yogi&booboo]

Hi there,
I am on my 2ww. Its a horrible Waiti feeling and my dh is not helping by saying he feels me different. I dtd on cd#19 & 20 which were 1/13/14 & 1/14/14 😃. I am nervous and dont know what to expect. This is my first try after doing 5 practice cycles with no bd. I am also stress eating and not healthy stuff at all 😩. Im 🙏we all get our bfp's! Has anyone continued their diet after their attempt? I have slacked off a bit and im nervous that this will affect my sway😖

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

[jillibeeen]

Yogi I hear you have to stick to the diet until you get a bfp... But who knows. I'm sure slacking just a little won't do any damage to the sway. Are you swaying pink or blue? I did about 4 practice cycles/charting before we actually TTC last month (dec). 1st attempt didn't work which I was bummed about. And I think I stressed out too much thinking about it during my 2ww. I believe it's important to relax and keep busy as to not drive yourself crazy!
Lovemy2b- how is the 2ww going? Are you now 1 or 2 dpo? I got my 1st spike in temperature this morning after my 1st positive opk Friday afternoon. We have BD 3x already since then. Does anyone know if I should try and BD once more even with my high temp? Doesn't that mean the egg has already dropped?and it's too late? Plus I think DH is burnt out! Lol. I know that it takes 12-14 hrs for sperms to reach the fallopian tube according to The Great Sperm Race documentary. Has anyone else watched it? It's so interesting! U can Google it and watch it online for free in its entirety. Trying to sway blue! Used my preseed, drank apple cider vinegar and V8 religiously. Plus the boy diet for the past 6 months! Fx for all of us and hoping for sticky beans and baby dust for us all! 2ww... Here I come!

Hi jilli, well my temp dropped today so now I'm confused (don't know if I took it right or my slept with my mouth open) I take my temps at 5a.m. I'm praying that It's nothing. If I did indeed Ov I should be 2dpo. Btw I think your attempts for blue are good!!! GL !!!;)
Yogi-I have read that you have to stick to diet while in 2ww in case you don't get a bfp your still on le. Don't worry if you've slacked off a bit because I have too! I'm thinking of dropping my exercise because I can no longer handle it (It's been a long freaking exercise road). ;/

[Redsstarr]

Up date af due on the 22 but showed up first thing this morning.

[Leebug]

Hi ladies! 1 DPO today and officially in the 2ww.glad to join in the torture!UGH!! Question for u guys-do u work out in the 2ww or take it easy? Ive only been getting a work out once a week but would like to get a workout or 2 in.I'm nervous after my early loss right b4 thanksgiving.it was very hard on me & I'm just afraid it might happen again.just gonna try to think positive!

[aprilbride]

Hi ladies, ill be 6 DPO tomorrow and im going slightly crazy analysing everything! Today i had a weird white cm which ive never seen before. Last time I got pg i had no real symptoms until my bfp apart from heat in my ovaries around 7dpo, but im sure symptoms can be different each time around.

I wish there was a magical early test that we could all do! 2 weeks is tough!!!!

[Leebug]

It is tough! Although u r halfway through! If I am pg I will be due October 11 which I'm psyched about because its my favorite month! Also our craziest month- both in laws and 2 nephew birthdays and our anniversary!

[Leebug]

Love-I take my temp vaginally.I know it sounds gross but I find it the most accurate.just get
probe covers 4 the BBT & ur all set.I find its never the same 4 me.sometimes I have a huge temp dip the day I get a positive OPK.sometimes I don't O for a day or 2 after the dip.so unpredictable! I guess the best u can do is temp & test!

[b'smommy]

Got my positive OPK this am. Let's hope the third times a charm (on LE) at least. TTC has been a much longer road.

I'm sorry Red I know how you feel, but don't give up.
Leebug-I'm going to take it very slow with my cardio and perhaps drop it as my body can't handle it anymore :( I feel exhausted as I've been doing cardio for about a year and feel that I can't no longer do it. I hope this doesn't hurt my sway:( I say follow your heart if you think it's best to drop it then do so.
Aprilbride-have you thought about using FRER 6 days sooner hpt? I bought those because you can use them starting at 8dpo.
b'smommy-FX that we get a bfp!

[aprilbride]

Leebug - fx for you and me in Oct. My dd if pg would be the 8th of Oct. Maybe our luck month!!

Lovemy2blessings - When i was pg last october (but ended in MC) i took FRER test at 9DPO and got nothing, then tested on 12 dpo and got a positive. I could try test early but dont want to be disappointed... hmm will think about it!

[Redsstarr]

Mother nature is a beast. I have been Down for 2 days ouch painful! Anyway we are taking a break. We're avoiding a thanksgiving Christmas due date. See you all around I'm still planning my next move. I need more information on the LE DIET. Good luck to you all☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Baby Dust☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

[Leebug]

April-i do get a faint positive with FRER around 9-10 DPO but I do try very hard not to test until at least 12 DPO.that morning if my temp is still over 98 I test.my LP is usually 12 days which is why I wait.
b-i don't know how long you've been trying but it took me 14 months to conceive dd#2.its very upsetting & frustrating.vent if u need to!

[nikcib]

So this Sunday I got the most bizarre illness ever. Starting around 9pm Saturday night, I started to feel queazy. I decided I hadn't eaten enough so I had some toast and went to bed. I had night sweats and chills all night long. I woke up at my normal temping time and had a very high temp of 99.5. I figured it was a fever and went back to sleep. I woke up later and it was up to 100.4. It stayed around there for most of the day (though I did take some tylenol to relieve it midday). I was really nauseous and felt like I had the worst hangover of my life all day (no drinking). Also, the weirdest thing is that my hips ached sooo badly like the way they did when I was 9 months pregnant. I never thought this could be a symptom but I looked it up and apparently it is one. I took a test that morning and Monday just to be sure (7dpo and 8dpo). BFN as expected. I figured if I was having symptoms then it would show. Today, at 9dpo, however I have gotten two squinters on Wondfo. I've been tricked before by Wondfo but these seem to have color for the first time and came up before the test dried (unlike before). I don't have any expensive tests available but I am going to retest tomorrow.

Anyway, has anyone else had implantation sickness before? I never would have believed it if I didn't experience it. It didn't seem like the stomach bug because the back end was fine (ahem). It was just achy hips, nausea, and fever. I really planned on holding off until tomorrow to test but just had to test after this bizarre experience. I hope it's a sticky, pink, healthy bean.

[lovemy2blessings]

Red-I'm so sorry hun I know how you feel this makes month 7 TTC and it gets harder each month. There's many days I cry myself to sleep :/ so just take a break and hopefully things work out for the best!
nick-It sounds like you have a bfp on the way! Can you post a pic of your test? I had sore bbs with Ds1 and with both implantation bleeding. With Ds2 I started feeling nauseous so your symptoms sound very promising! :)

[Leebug]

When I got pg in November I woke up on 8 DPO & about an hour later felt nausea some hot flashes but no fever & my low back was sore almost mild constant cramping all across my low back.I was also REALLY thirsty.

[Leebug]

My dd#1 birthday is tomorrow.cant believe she will be 6.worth every second of the 3 hours and 24 minutes of pushing!

[nikcib]

Sure, lovesmy2blessings, but I can see it in the photo just barely. It really is a squinter. If it didn't come up within the time frame and if I didn't see some color, I would have discounted it altogether. Plus there's two of the same thing. 16415

[MIka1104]

I'm halfway through the 2 ww! Things have been busy so it actually went by fast. Plus, I've had a cold. Today I have no symptoms except I'm so bloated but then this is PMS week. I had cramps for a couple days and sore breasts but nothing today :-( I refuse to test until I miss my period. I can't take the let down again. I'll continue to keep busy, which will be hard considering we are snowed in as of today :-/ Good luck to all of you ladies!!

[Leebug]

Us too M! We are more inland so I don't think we are getting quite as much snow.I had something strange happen 2day & I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.I took my temp this morning & it was 97.98.yesterday it was 98.24.what's weird is that my temp never goes below 98 in the 2ww.I took it twice thinking maybe my BBT was not working.2nd time was 97.94.I am only 3-4DPO.I'm feeling odd already.sore BBs slight nausea & pain& twinges by each ovary.ive never had all these symptoms so early.what do u guys think?

[jillibeeen]

4dpo! Temps still high. I keep feeling twinges and a bit of fatigue. Possibly slightly sore boobs. Or maybe it's just all in my head. I think I'm looking for any sign. This 2ww is so grueling! Does anyone recommend FRER pregnancy test? And what day has anyone found success with it?

Hi Beatuful Ladies! I need your help, opinions and suggestions :nails:

Hi jillibeeen,

Im a blue swayer for my last pregnancy. I already have 3DD :). Today I am 8 DPO. My LP is usually around 14 days. Today So far Monday evening and early Tuesday through noon (1/20/14 & 1/21/14) I noticed cramping, and Nausea. This morning today Wednesday I went to my first morning Pee pee lol at work and when I wiped I noticed some spotting. My heart doesnt know if to either be sad or excited. Anywho, I saw some light bleeding. I did a cervix check and it was mainly brownish, but at wiping at first it was a big bright red spot. This morning when I took my BBT i noticed a dip as well. Its still not AF temps. Im below 97.00 when AF is arriving. My temp today is still slightly up and my period is not due for another 7 or so days. Im a bit worried, but prepared for what ever happens. This is my first attempt after charting since Sept 2013, shortly after stopping my BC that I was on for the past 3 years. Im still skeptical of conceiving just because my DH felt too pressured when we BD for our attempt and he got nervous that he made me spill on our first try :(. But only time will tell. I guess I need some re-assurance to be prepared for the worst.

Lovemy2blessings- Its been hard but I have been mainly eating lots of salty foods. Taking my vitamins and everything else. I had some icecream over the weekend and a frap from baskin robbings but nothing too crazy like my dairy obsessions in the past with eating yogurt 3x a day lol. :)

Dreamnewbie- :( im so sorry you did not get your BFP. I hope you get yours soon.

16447

Sorry TMI, but here is a pic of what my BBT Chart and this mornings spotting looked like.

Thank you girls!

[lovemy2blessings]

Jilli- I just bought Frer's for the first time ever! I have always used Clearblue Digital, so hopefully these are good. Anyone else used FRER's before?
Yogi-that very much looks like IB and dip that's exactly what I experienced with both DS's at around 8dpo. FX that your bfp is on the way!
Afm-I'm 5dpo with ZERO symptoms whatsoever:( I was such a pig all day and ate whatever crossed my eyes lol..It's o tomorrow I'm back on it lol:)

Hey there,

That's very sweet of you to say. Deep down I really want to hear this from someone & thank you a million for that😘 💟

Honestly with my first three pregnancies I really did not have any symptoms other than bloating and minor cramping after i missed my period after 1-2 weeks. With my second daughter i did have bleeding but after 8 weeks of pregnancy. Mainly what told me I was pregnant was my horrible morning sickness :( once i tested after the first yukky day; i knew it was a bfp without testing. Before this attempt i never knew about ovulation days, bbt, lp, or anything in that matter. I just new that bd would get me pregnant. I never really had cravings because anything that would cross my mind would come right back up. With all of my Pregnancies i will weigh less after deliver than my pre-pregnancy weight lol. My genes cause my kids to suck the life out of me. I guess I think because im more aware of whats going on with my body I am actually paying attention to all of the symptoms and changes my body is going through now :) I think its very normal for you to not feel anything yet. I hope it surprises you and you get your bfp 💞 Sending tons of magical baby dust your way!

Ps im eating everything i can come accross that is calling my name (Just now- 2 yummy buttered potatoes with steak seasoning baked in the microwave) so you are not alone! Lol

[Leebug]

I only use FRER.they are awesome.always worked well 4 me.I can usually get a faint positive about 9-10 DPO.had my progesterone levels checked today.will get the lab results tomorrow.pretty anxious about it.last pregnancy it was supposed to be over 50 when they tested me & it was 7.luckily I went full term.I had to use progesterone suppositories to 14 weeks.it was gross!

[Leebug]

Yogi-if u get a good temp spike tomorrow that would be a great sign!GL!!

[yogi&booboo]

I think I may go and pick up a FRER. I'm so impatient. Although I'm not having any symptoms at 4, almost 5dpo. Hopefully we still get our BFPs this time around! Are your temps up again? I know you had mentioned a dip during your 2dpo.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

[MIka1104]

Yogi, sounds like IB!! FX for you!! You also Leebug...sounds promising!
I'm 9dpo and I'm really trying not to symptom spot because the last 4 months I've had many pregnancy symptoms and it ended in a big disappointment. I'm trying to get over a cold so my temps are a bit wacky. My gums started bleeding out of nowhere yesterday and I never get gum bleeds so that was off. I feel great today, no more cramping or breast soreness. I have been extra bloated though. I'll try to continue to be patient and not test though (if that's possible lol). I'm not sure how the temps are supposed to be during a bfn 2ww...I'm new at temping. Are they supposed to be steady and then go up for ib?

[Dancin Machine]

Nikcib, I def see those lines without squinting! Can't wait to see more!
Redsstarr, so sorry for AF. You could still try for Feb and skip March and April?
Yogi, your temp chart looks beautiful and that's prob IB! FX!!!! Keep us posted!
Lovemy2, I've had no symptoms too but that doesn't mean much at this point.
Mika, I think bleeding gums sounds great! (YKWIM) I forgot I had that with DS1 til you mentioned it.
Leebug and Jillibeeen, hang in there, your temps are sounding promising!
Aprilbride, any word?
BFN for me this morning but I'm only 9dpo and it was a cheap test anyway. This IS a long 2ww, probably bc I'm so hopeful :(

[MIka1104]

Thanks for the encouragement, Dancin Machine. We are about the same in our cycle! I walked in the bathroom about an hour ago at work and got really nauseous and had to put my head over the toilet for about 5 minutes (ugh). Also very rare for me. I'm hopeful but still too chicken to test. Still very early. I'll try at 12dpo, which is on Sunday. Maybe. GL Dancin Machine!!

[Keshet]

I decided to not test and see if my period comes. I had been feeling nauseous but then realized it could be because of the large amounts of folic acid that I was taking. I did not take vitamins today and I now feel no nausea. Now, I do feel cramping on one side. Sort of like period coming. I'm expecting the worst. I think that my eggs are fried and I'm just too old. Kicking myself for not trying when I was younger.

[MIka1104]

Hi Keshet, how many dpo are you? Stay positive! Hopefully, it will happen soon for you.

[yogi&booboo]

@Mika1104 - Thank you for your support! :bighug:
@jillibeeen- I am as inpatient as you. I did one FRER yesterday when I arrived home from work. I had a feeling I would have a BFN because my pee would be extremely diluted by the time I got home and it was not my FMU. Im going to also wait at 12 DPO which is Saturday, and if nothing then I will wait till Tuesday. I think by then I will only have skin to bite because I will be all out of nails :( :bighug:

My Update:holysheep:

So my BBT slightly went up this morning from the previous morning. I am getting a cold though which bummed me that this may have cause it to rise. I did take my temps twice this morning to make sure I wasnt crazy and the second temp went slightly down from 97.50 to 97.49.

My BBT's for the past four days:
1/20/14- 94.74
1/21/14- 97.71
1/22/14- 94.34 (Dip)
1/22/14- 97.50

I'm not too enthusiastic about this rise but glad my temps are still up. I guess now my hopes are going down and I'm preparing for what ever comes. I'm all out of opk's so I will wait to purchase more until I have my AF. I don't want to assume anything at this point and waste more money unless really needed. :hair:

Good Luck Girls, Im praying we all get our BFP's and become pregnancy buddies :) :hugs::fingers::pray:

[Keshet]

I had a positive ovulation test on January 10th. I would expect my period sometime between Saturday through Monday.

[yogi&booboo]

I'm getting more depressed by the minute. I just went and did a CM check and there was more spotting. Sorry TMI, but here is a Pic: 16469

I think AF is around the corner and I wish she came already so I can get over this anxiety. I am really hoping by tomorrow.

:tissue:
:worry::worry:

[Leebug]

Yogi-dont throw in the towel yet!ur temp is up & its not bright red blood.don't lose hope yet!
M-usually once ur temp is over 98 u have already ovulated & r in LP.mine lasts about 12 days so if my temp goes below that I know AF is coming.this doest work for everyone though!
Kesh-how old r u? I know taking fish oil coQ10 and vitamin E can help egg quality
So here's my update-nice temp spike for me today! Woohoo! Ob called & said my progesterone level is 11.7 which is perfectly normal for where I am in my cycle.thank God!
I read that implantation can occur as early as 3DPO.was wondering if that was scientific fact.
I'm going to test on the 29th.Its the anniversary of our first date.TWELVE years ago!not our wedding anniversary but I still like to celebrate it.hopefully ill get a BFP!

[Keshet]

[lovemy2blessings]

6dpo today and my temps have stayed up ;) I have my 21 day progesterone check appointment in a little bit. Hopefully, my numbers look good. So last night I had dream that a very close co-worker was expecting (which I laughed when I woke up because she has been having an Essure for over 5 yrs). Anyways, during lunch break I told her my dream and she confessed that she just found out she's pregnant (about 4 wks along). I was in shock! I told her I thought it was just a silly dream and to rub baby dust on me. I wish I could get a bfp even with an Essure!
Btw gum bleeding is definitely a sign I experienced ir with Ds1.
I Will be holding off to test probably till Monday at 10dpo. GL to us!

[Leebug]

Kesh-is your dh older? Just eat really well take some good supplements & make sure dh does the same.I make dh take fish oil fertilaid for men & magnesium.lets do this! BFPs for everyone! Go October Babies!

[Dancin Machine]

Keshet, I'm a Post Partum nurse and take care of even first time moms in their 40s ALL THE TIME, and this isn't even your first! I wouldn't let that worry you. You could get your eggs checked?
Mika, sorry you're nauseous but . . . yay!! That's a good sign right?? You're smart to wait til Sunday, I just didn't want to work out this morning. I'll wait til Sunday for my next test too.
Yogi, I don't know enough about temping to give any advice but is sounding good :)

[Keshet]

My DH is mid 40s and has excellent sperm motility and ability to fertilize based on our previous testing for IVF. I'm taking coenzyme q10 and folguard due to a clotting condition. Can the other supplements that are being recommended to me compromise a girl sway?

[Keshet]

I should add that I failed IVF twice. The first time was over 2 years ago produced 4 embryos that made it to DAy 5, one was normal and happened to be xx but did not survive defrost. The second attempt was this past fall and only 1 made it to day 5 and was abnormal. I asked Dr. If it means that my natural fertility was not good enough anymore and she thought that it would probably be similar. :-( She suggested that continuing with IVF was sort of a waste of money and probably too emotionally taxing for me at that point with such results. This is when I turned to swaying lightly. I conceived my previous pregnancies on the first try each time. But that was years ago.

[Keshet]

I don't mean to sound so blah. I do appreciate everyone's support. You are all such nice people. Thank you for being so kind. I know that I am so lucky to have what I have and I don't mean to be ungrateful. I am blessed. If it is meant to happen, it will.

[Leebug]

Its ok K.everyone has craptastic days.I'm thinking the fish oil & vitamin E would sway blue.maybe atomic knows of a girl friendly egg quality booster? I also recommend acupuncture.worked 2 out of the 3 times I got pg & one of those pregnancies was IVF.

[aprilbride]

can you girls look at my chart and let me know what you think? I shouldn't be getting AF for another 4 days but i started spotting today :( this happened last time i was pg so i know im not out yet but im cd9... 458b58 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/458b58)

[MIka1104]

April, do you mean CD9 or 9dpo? Your chart looks great! Hopefully this is your month. FX!!

[yogi&booboo]

Just wanted to update everyone!:running: I am more hopeful than yesterday :). My spotting went away and this morning my BBT went up a good 20 degrees. Since my dip it has gone up 20 twice from 97.34 to 97.50 to 97.72. I guess I cant complain but still prepared for the worst. I am now coming down with a cold after a stomach flue but taking in lots of vitamin C and trucking on with my boy diet :fx:Does anyone have any recommendations at what day DPO it is best recommended to do a FRER? I took one this morning (10 DPO) and I got a BFN but it could be still too early?. :think:

Happy Friday Gals and Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Kudos & 10 :agree: to that beautiful ladies that have to work on the weekends too!

:pray::fingers::car:

[MIka1104]

Yogi, it sounds promising that you will receive a BFP in a few days!!! GL!! My temps are still high at 10dpo but I have absolutely no symptoms today and no IB. I've always had IB and frequent urination around the time I expect AF. Only three days to go. FX!

Have a great weekend, ladies!

[yogi&booboo]

Mika1104,

We are on the same boat because I never have IB or frequent urination around AF. I pray that these opposite symptoms mean a BFP for us. Yey, im excited for you. Keep us posted!

[Leebug]

April-so sorry Hon.if ur LP is only 9 days its too short.I'm sure u already take prenatals but do u take extra b6? If not u may want to add some.I take 100mg from about 2DPO.

[Leebug]

Yogi-FRER is all I use.I start getting squinters about 9DPO but a good solid bfp at 12 DPO.everones different.I think if u implant early u probably get an earlier BFP.ive never had IB with any of my pregnancies

[aprilbride]

Leebug I didnt realise i had a short lp, i concieved last time like this but had a mc at 7 weeks - do you think this is why?
what do you do for a short lp? my OBGYN said that it didnt matter if it was short or not so now i am so confused and sad

[lovemy2blessings]

Yogi0 how is it going?
Aprilbride-I'm sorry about short lp maybe atomic know something you can use to increase it...I've heard of vitamin B6 but not sure.
How is everyone else coming along?
As for me-I'm anywhere between6-8 dpo not sure (ff has changed it 3 times lol), but I think this is not my month. RN called me with my 21 day progesterone results nad they have increased a whole lot now I'm at 12.6 and she said I needed another round of Clomid, so with that said I guess she means I will be getting Af, right? I'm a little bummed out and have ZERO symptoms on another note I really want to skip TTC in February now I don't even know what to do:(

[Dancin Machine]

Oh, lovemy2blessings I'm sorry you're feeling that way, you sound very disappointed. I say you're not out til you're out but I also don't know those numbers very well :( it was so exciting that you o'd!!! Hang in there, things are happening, it is possible! Why would you want to skip Feb?
Aprilbride, sorry about AF! Darn it!!
Yogi&MIka, FX for you two! Can't wait to hear!!
Leebug, so glad your levels looked good, that's so encouraging!
Keshet, how are you doing? Sounds like it's been quite a road for you.
Jillibeeen and nikcib, any more news??
Still nothing for me, I'm 11dpo and no symptoms except I am SO absent-minded these days. I pray I can blame it on being pg or else I'm just losing my mind!!! I'll probably test again tomorrow. I should probably go buy a FRER, all I have are cheapies. I need my brain back!!

Hi Dancin Machine

Thank you for asking. I'm trying to stay positive. But also just waiting for my period to start. I barely slept last night as I felt cramping and hot, so I just kept waiting for my period. It should come between today and Monday. In my mind, I've been scheming about another round of IVF. But that was torture for me. I didn't handle it well. And I don't have the money for it. But, my mind doesn't stop playing out scenarios.

How are you doing???

Yogi, I am truly shocked! I thought for sure you were! That makes me mad. I'm so sorry, you sound positive though.
Jillibeeen, trying not to symptom spot with you but, yay!! And your chart looks good even though I don't know them so well. I got all constipated and gassy too at first (sorry) but now it's gone.
Oh Keshet, I'm sorry. It's the worst being up at night or the early morning with your mind running with worry. Did you know we actually secrete a hormone at about 2 or 3 am that if we're dreaming helps us process but if we're awake we just worry and stress ourselves out? I hate that feeling of my mind running. I'm sorry I don't have any answers :(
Think I will test tomorrow. I have two cheap tests left. Should I go get a frer for tomorrow morning 12dpo or just use a cheapie and plan on testing again at 15dpo? It's not killing me yet.

[yogi&booboo]

Dancin machine,
I couldn't be be more confused my self. I woke up with what look like some darker af. Not full blown but enough to stain my panties quite a bit. I didint expect it because i took my temp this am and it was still high, not even close to af temps. Throughout the day its gotten lighter and lighter almost to the point it disappeared but im taking it as af so i can stop obsessing over it, plus i did see a super duper dark blood clot so that just tells me that this was the end of this cycle. Lol i guess the only way i was really wrong is if you see me on the i didint know i was pregnant show. Lol good luck girls and we need to stay positive. Im couldn't be more thankful for what I am already blessed with:) tons of baby dust to you all

Hi girls! Now I apparently don't take my own advice because I took a FRER today.Im almost positive its a SQUINTER!! I'm shocked.wont get my hopes up too soon though.I'm only 7DPO but I had an implantation dip @ 3DPO so I was feeling things would happen early this time.

April-u can google it but I'm pretty sure your Lp should be @ least 11 days.the fertilized egg needs time to implant & "snuggle in".if its too short the egg wont have enough time 2 do this.I know B6 helps this.I take 100mg/day & theres 15mg in my prenatal.just don't take over 200mg/day.it can cause nerve damage.

Yogi-So sorry girl.that seems kind of strange.If it was me I would take an FRER just to be sure.u dont want to be on that show 9 months from now giving birth on a toilet!

[Leebug]

Jilli-your chart looks awesome!!!

Dance-im so excited for u! Plz check in tomorrow with an update! I'm gonna test again on Monday.I promise to update!

Love- i had my progesterone levels checked at Cd 24 when I was 4 DPO & I mine was 11.7.my ob said it was normal for where I was in my cycle.what's a 21 day test?
My dd#1 had her 6th birthday party today.I'm fried.night guys!

[Dancin Machine]

Leebug - woohoo!! We'll take it, that's awesome!!! Can't wait to hear Monday too! I went and got my first FRER for the morning, they were on sale with a dollar off thing. I will update in the morning :)
Yogi - I'm not giving up on you yet. What is going on? I hope everything is ok in there. Lol on the didn't know you were pg show XD Wouldn't be such a bad thing though right? Especially if you got your boy!
Keshet, I'm actually doing really well, thanks. I kinda wish I wasn't doing so well so then I might have a symptom. But I really am hoping for this cycle. I hope you sleep better tonight.
We'll see what the morning brings :)

[yogi&booboo]

Lol Leebug & Dancin Machine,

I think im officially not testing till next friday and see what happens. Im actually out to dinner and since the morning incident and all ive seen by doing a cm check @ each restroom run is dark cm mixed with pink and brown. Right now as we speak is like a migician came and did a tada! Your af is gone. Lol My husband has been so supportive and keeps telling to not stress and stop goggling all of my symptoms but i tell him that all im doing is chatting with the most wonderful supportive group of girls who only give me positive vibes.

Leebug I couldn't be more excited for you and I hope its your bfp. Today I am a dpo 11 and im assuming it could still be a bit early so i you girls dont hear from me till next week its because ill be in deep meditation and trying to be stress free lol.

Dancin Machine Keep us update. This has been a great journey with you and the rest of the beautiful ladies. I couldn't have asked for a better supportive tww group of gals 💟💟💟💟😊

I'm 3DPO, this is my second month TTC after a practice month. I O really late on the LE diet and combined with some OPK problems and the fact that my LH surge is very brief and kinda weak, I almost missed O this month. From what I can tell, my one BD attempt was 12 hours after I Oed. I was planning on O-1 like last month but never got a positive OPK! My temp had already spiked by the time I BDed. So I'm not sure how good my chances are. I find it amusing that I accidentally did an O+12, supposesly perfect for a girl sway based on one theory.

Anyway, I have a 28 day cycle and my LP depends on O, so this month AF is due 10DPO. That will be on Feb 3rd so I will test then if I can wait that long! Maybe I'll test the day before to try out some new super sensitive pregnancy tests I have.

Has anyone else just Oed? Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting, and hugs to everyone who will be trying again.

[Leebug]

K-i have a suggestion.have u ever tried chamomile tea? It always makes me super sleepy & I sleep like a LOG.it has a light pleasant taste.after u put the kids down take a nice hot shower get some cozy jammies on & sip some tea.I drink it about an hour or so before I want to turn in for the night.they have organic which I try to get because it has no fillers.let it steep for 10 minutes.if u don't like the taste u can get it in a tincture.hth

[Keshet]

Great suggestion Leebug. I will try it.

DM-anything over 10 means Ov, what throws me off is that the nurse made it seem like I'm out this month and that I needed to call Doctor this week so he can fax over my next round of Clomid to the pharmacy :( I still have zero symptoms, my temps are still up and I think I'm 7-9dpo. I hope your right and this month is it! Btw have yo tested?

Jilli- your chart looks great! Any other symptoms?

Yogi-Your not out until full blown af arrives it still sounds like your in. Have you tested?

Leebug-Omg! I hope you get your bfp, did you test this morning? Please keep us updated!

Keshet_I'm sorry, I know how stressful and depressed TTC can be. I really hope you get your bfp this month! Hugs mommy!

maiden-GL and keep us updated!

Where is everyone in there cycle? If anyone is 10dpo please test and give me some updates! lol
I'm 7-9dpo (ff has changes it 3 times) ugh!

[jillibeeen]

Lovemy2: I have no other symptoms. I trying hard not to think about it too much. I'm 8dpo. Temps are still up. I haven't had an implantation dip or IB. Hope it's nothing to worry about. Has anyone seen a BFP with out either of the two? My sister in law just called us to announce that they are 10 wks pregnant. Although I'm happy for them, I'm just a tad envious!

Sorry I didn't check in this morning, BFN and AF :( Very disappointing. I'm at work today so that's keeping it off my mind but the cramps keep reminding me. I think I'll try again next cycle then take a break to avoid Christmas. Got to see AF before I tried the test so I didn't waste it. Can't believe we missed this one!
Yogi, I'm so glad AF is gone! You hang in there til Friday!
Leebug, I saw you checked in this morning, I had to rush off to work. Thanks for hoping with me!
Lovemy2, thanks for checking on me. That's odd the nurse said that then. Don't let it bug you, you know the result and can call the doc and check tomorrow. :fx: :noaf:
Jillibeeen, glad things are still looking good for you! That is so hard when others around you are pg while you're TTC. It didn't used to bug me but I can tell it's starting to a little.
Best of luck to all you girls, I'll pop back in to see results!

[lovemy2blessings]

Jillibean we are in the same boat no symptoms here and 7-9dpo, FX for both of us were not out until af arrives:)
DM-Boo for af:( I'm also planning to take a break from TTC, but not 100% sure as I"ve been swaying for quite a while :(

[yogi&booboo]

Hi dancinmachine,

Im so sorry af came to visit you. Thanks for helping me stay positive. I can't believe that my first attempt was a total bummer. I got a stomach bug, now a cold. I have been spotting for the past 4 days. Nothing close to af other than the past two mornings i have had a gush with my fmu. Then its gone by noon. My temps have me more confused than ever because they have not dropped but im blaming it on my cold even though its not severe. Im praying my bbt drops my my af comes full force so i can start my new cycle. I already ordered my cheapy opks and my cbfm tests. Keeping my fingers crossed for us and im in with our next attempt:) lets keep in touch 💕

Yogi & dance-so sorry girls! I know that feeling of disappointment all too well.keep your chin up!!
Love & jilli-im 8DPO today.I will test tomorrow because I'm NUTS! Ive had crazy symptoms since 3 DPO.don't worry about the absence of IB or ID or symptoms.everyones different! Night my lovelys!

[jillibeeen]

Leebug- that's awesome. I'm 9dpo. I'm too scared to test right now. If I get a bfn, I'll just be super disappointed the rest of the time. And the 2ww is already grueling! I think I'll wait til 14dpo. ...ugh. I'm so anxious! Let us know how is goes! I assume you'll be using FRER? FX TO YOU!

Sorry to hear that AF showed for some our 2ww ladies...continue to stay positive ladies! Yesterday I took a dollar store test I had left over from last cycle and it was a BFN. I don't have any symptoms at all anymore and feel like af is gonna show up tonight as normal. I will try preseed next cycle...I hear that works for a lot of ladies. I will update you gals tmrw morn. GL to all the ladies waiting to see that BFP! FX for you guys!!!!

[Leebug]

Update-squinter line is a little less squinty but I still don't feel comfortable calling it a bfp.ill test again on Wednesday.stick bean stick!

[Leebug]

Mika-let me know how the chamomile tea works!

[MIka1104]

Congrats, Leebug!!! So happy to hear some good news!
I think that was Keshet who you recommended the tea for but I've been having the same problems on and off this cycle and said that I would try it also. I will find out tonight if I'm in or out because af is due and she has been on point the last 4 cycles at the same time. I still have hope even though I have zero symptoms. Last week I had plenty of symptoms but then I didn't get IB, which I've always gotten b4 af was due, along with frequent urination. I don't wanna buy a test unless af doesn't show tonight. FX she stays away!!

[yogi&booboo]

Hello beautiful Ladies,

AF is here full force yey! TTC Attempt here we come. Im more excited for this coming attempt than this last one.
@ Leebug « I pray your sticky bean stays :)

Thanks Yogi! I also will feel good about next month as well. If I conceive then, it will be a nice bday present for me :-) Plus, I'm finally gonna give preseed a chance, as I hear that helps sway boy as well. TTYS!

[yogi&booboo]

Yey MIKA1104,

Im keeping my fingers crossed for you. I hope we get our bfps and you get the most beautiful birthday present ever :) I tried preseed this past cycle with bsf but im not doing bsf this time; only preseed. I felt i over did everything. Im going to take it easier next month. Im super excited now!

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

[Leebug]

M-dd#2 was born ON my birthday! Its really special!

[Leebug]

Yogi- I used bsf while doing my sway for dd#2.never got pg when I did that.even when I mixed it with preseed.this time around I did high ph by drinking mineral water & this water that had bicarbonate & electrolytes & was a 9.5ph.it tasted good too.going opposite this time & changing ph inside out instead of outside in!

Leebug- For my boy sway this time around I have have been doing everything possible to help my sway from the food down to bathing and brushing my teeth lol. I have been drinking lots of alkaline water, in-taking alka seltzer gold, mucinex, brushing my teeth with baking soda toothpaste. The only thing I did do a lot on my past attempt was a bsf 3 days before and the day of. I also started drinking green tea tabs but this stuff delayed my ovulation :(. I have to recommend this water and drops. I bought the drops on amazon which you add to any drink or just plain water and it will make it more alkaline and less acidic. The water bottle you see here is naturally alkaline. I bought at at an organic supermarket. Usually others like the big chains dont carry it but I love it, it tastes great and the alkaline is what makes me super happy to drink it. I heard that Dasani is the worst water to drink because its extremely acidic.

Have taken any supplements? Im highly considering stopping the green tea tabs just to be safe, and the BSF I will not do for a fact. Are you doing preseed for your current sway? :ttcboy:

[lovemy2blessings]

No symptoms yet lol..well I know I'm out due to low progesterone levels, but I still decided to test w/ an IC and of course, /bfn!

[Keshet]

Bought some tests at the dollar store. But I'm trying very hard to wait.

No! You're not out till AF arrives! Are you 10dpo? I will be tomorrow morning.

[MIka1104]

Love, there is still hope. FX for you!! Jillibeen, same for you! Hope to get good news from you today. I'm 14dpo today and waiting. I'm cramping a bit. I always get AF by the night I am 13dpo. I took a FRER last night and BFN and that was a big disappointment for me and hubby, although he was so encouraging last night. It's my 4th cycle since ditching the pill. I'm more optimistic about next month.

[Leebug]

M-if u don't get af by the morning I would test with a FRER but use FMU. its still early & if u don't use FMU the urine can easily be diluted.when I was pg the last time & in the July due date thread a girl on there didn't normally get a BFP until at least 19DPO! So don't give up yet!

[Tomgirl]

Hi ladies,

Living in these 2 week cycles sucks! Seems to take forever to O then it takes forever until you wait for BFP or AF!

This is my 3 month of officially TTC the last 3 cycles I O'd between 16-20 since being on the LE diet but this month I O'd much earlier. I'm not temping so don't know for sure which day but it was either cd14-15. I'm now around 3 or 4dpo.

Maiden I think we are close in cycles!

Congrats Leebug on you bfp...let's keep em coming!

[Keshet]

So, I'm on day 30 since LMP...

[MIka1104]

CD1 for me...I'll continue with my sway and will try again mid-Feb. for yet another 2ww. GL to all of you who are waiting still!!!!

[Keshet]

Good luck to you Mlka

[Leebug]

Tom-welcome! Still nervous about actually calling it a BFP.maybe tomorrow if its a good solid line.2ww does seriously blow! U would think with all the amazing technology thats out there u could tell much earlier!
M-sorry hon.
Keshet-when u gonna test girl?

[Keshet]

For me, It's easier not to know.

[MIka1104]

Good luck to you Mlka

Thanks! GL to you also Keshet!

[MIka1104]

Really hoping this is it for you Leebug!!

[Leebug]

Thx M! Just nervous this one wont stick like last time! Ill update u guys tomorrow morning!

[Leebug]

Ugh.still pretty light.this is strange-can u guys tell me what u think?

Cd17-OPK NEG-temp 97.74
Cd18-OPK NEG-temp 97.10.before I went to bed I had tons of EWCM but OPK still NEG
Cd19-OPK POS-temp 97.92.dtd that night @ midnight
Cd20-OPK POS-temp 97.91
Cd21-couldnt test.wasn't @ home but managed to temp-98.13.this day was 1/19.

So I thought I Od on cd20 1/18 because the next day my temp was over 98 but maybe I miscalculated.maybe I'm only 10dpo? UGH IDK!!!!!!!!!! I kind of feel like AF is coming.my low back is sore & I feel a bit crampy

[MIka1104]

The cramps and low back ache is also a good sign of early pregnancy. And your tests are still coming in faint? That's better than seeing a negative. So frustrating, I know! Your temps do look pretty much like mine did this time around but mine never went up past 98.1. I'm really hoping they don't drop and you will get a darker line soon (FX)!!

[yogi&booboo]

Leebug,

I agree with MIk1104. My temps never went passed 98.1 either and you see a faint line that's great! :) Im still almost positive that your BFP is on your way!

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk

[jillibeeen]

Leebug it looks promising! Those are signs of AF...but also PREGNANCY! I O'd on the 18th too. .. so we are 11dpo together. Testing this early is brave. Let's wait till our missed period to test :) it's gonna Happen for us this round!!!

Lovemy2, what's the update with you??

Fx for all of us still in the running! !

[Keshet]

I'm still in. I can't believe it, but still in.

[jillibeeen]

I'm still in too. 12dpo. Tmi but today I was constipated. Sounds weird but hope that's a good sign.

Lovemy2.... You're still not out til that witch arrives!!!! Good luck to all of us still in it!

Hi ladies,
Can I join you all? I'm so nervous as am 10 dpo and convinced i am pg, but havent had a bfp yet. V frustrating! I too am cramping, bloated and tired and convinced this is it! Excited but also petrified, mainly because it was a full moon and those Chinese gender charts say boy for this month.... But i guess there woukd never be a perfect month, and i couldnt stick the diet much longer. Anyway, fingers crossed for us all. When exactly is the earliest you can test for sure? X

[lovemy2blessings]

Pinkmeup_ I hope you get your bfp! I have tested at 10dpo with a bfp! Have you used FRER? I'm just like you Chinese and moon point boy, but I don't care because I've been doing this for 8 months and still nothing! :(
Jilli- your right I'm 13dpo and no af yet.

[Leebug]

Hi guys! 12 DPO today.temp was 98.55 so I'm happy about that.usually @ 12 DPO my temp nose dives & I get AF.I will test tomorrow.

Pink-dont worry about the moon signs-i conceived both dds on a full moon!

[yogi&booboo]

Hi gals,
Has anyone started the February thread yet? If so, can you please share the link :) Leebug I have a feeling you got your bfp! Congratulations 💟hopefully we aren't too far behind you!!

Congrats Keshet! And thanks for encouraging words about full moon ladies! Today I am either out or experiencing implantation bleeding and cramping... Perhaps?? Never got this with my other pregnancies tho so feeling pretty deflated. Did anyone else?? Thanks! Only have those cheap standard pg test strips which have only shown bfn's so far. I was so sure tho.. :-(

[Pinkmeup]

Yes!! I def see a v v feint line there, so i would say congrats are in order!!!!

[Pinkmeup]

Pinkmeup_ I hope you get your bfp! I have tested at 10dpo with a bfp! Have you used FRER? I'm just like you Chinese and moon point boy, but I don't care because I've been doing this for 8 months and still nothing! :(
Jilli- your right I'm 13dpo and no af yet.
Congrats and Thanks love my 2! What is frer??

[Dancin Machine]

Keshet and Jillibeeen, yay!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!

[Leebug]

Hi ladies! Jilli& Keshet huge congrats!!
bad news for me today.temp went down to 98.19.it was 98.55 yesterday.test is really light still so maybe I'm not pg.I could only be 12 DPO but I don't think a temp dip at this point is a good sign. When I got pg in November I got a clear positive on 12DPO so IDK.ill temp in the morning.if its back up ill test again.ugh out of tests

[MIka1104]

FX for you, Leebug...don't depend too much on your temps. You're not out til af shows up!

[yogi&booboo]

Leebug I think you should not get your hopes up. Your temp is still high and i would think any higher would be a fever. Hang in there and buy a cheapy at the dollar store so you can test tomorrow. I also agree with MIKA1104, dont depend on your temps. Give it a few more days and im sure you will see your bfp 😄

Thx girls! I really needed some kind encouraging words! Dh is going to Atlanta right around the time I will ovulate again if I'm not pg so we probably wont be able to try next month.I did look at some charts on fertility friends gallery that had dips around now & still got a bfp so that made me feel a bit better.I just didn't think a drop of. .36 was normal around this time.especially since I'm taking 100 Mg of progesterone orally on top of the prenatal & B6.why cant anything be easy?will check in tomorrow.

[jillibeeen]

Leebug.... my temp dropped .3 this morning, but with FMU my pg test has a little darker faint line since last night's (shown in the above pic)! So youare not out till the witch arrives!

Omg... so happy. 13dpo for me. 2nd cycle ttc. I believe it was the Preseed!!! Hoping for a sticky blue bean!!!!
