10dpo today and bfn. Period pains started yesterday on and off. Symptoms have gone so expect af soon. I am maxing out on my short lp so could be any time now.

How's everyone else?

Thinking about not ttc next month. I am at gyne in a few week and need to take any medication. Not sure about taking all my supps! Plus getting checked for a short lp so should leave my body natural that cycle I think. Not sure yet though. I've gained 4lbs this 2ww as well so feeling deflated x

Oh dreamingofawin sorry to hear that :( fair enough how long is your LP ? Don't worry too much about weight its a balancing act not losing too much then not gaining. Good luck with your decision to TTC April or not xxxx

dreaming – So sorry about the bfn. :( The diet woes were so me last cycle! We had a big V-day dinner, and it was so hard to get back on track afterward. Dare I say, I’m still having trouble? Ugh. I hate dieting and have been doing it now for over a year.

Steph – so sorry about your doctor issues! Hugs!

Welcome jmrad!

I’m at CD13 and fully expected a +OPK today... nothing. Twiddling thumbs, so not worrying about not getting +OPK.

Hugs for you Dreaming, sorry to hear you got a bfn. I'm kinda expecting the same and will test when I'm about 10 DPO (so in two more days). After a week of high temps mine dropped this morning so not feeling very optimistic about my chances :(

Only 8DPO so was pretty sure it would be negative but DH was nagging me to test and he was sure it would be positive, even though I told him even if I was pregnant it was too early! He said I was wrong!! Lol! 😄

Sorry to hear of the BFNs, hopefully it is just too early and you will soon get your BFPs. Good luck to you all.

Dreaming, hope you make a decision you are happy with, it is a tough one. Hope you manage to get your LP sorted soon.

Marika

March 24th, 2014, 05:11 AM

Oh, hopefully some of these BFNs will turn to BFPs!

I started having a very light bleeding (only "pinkish") on friday (8 dpo) and hoped it would be an implantaion bleeding. But it hasn't really stopped, it got more red and even if it's not like an AF I feel it's too long to have it for several days. It is very little, I don't have to use any tampons or so but I see it every now and then when visiting the toilet. Could it be a really early af? Could the Vitex I took af to O mess up my cycle? Have taken tests, but no progress, only same old faint lines...

Man, that was the crappiest weekend for swaying EVER! DH freaked out, literally a minute before we were supposed to DTD for our one attempt, and got upset that we'd have a December baby that might interfere with our annual cabin trip! We had the fight of the year, which ended with him giving in and letting me attempt, but not before he made me agree to putting off future possible attempts for two more months. So, there's a lot riding on a BFP this month (which I have a feeling isn't going to happen!) because my next possible attempt would be in June! :(

dreamingofwin

March 24th, 2014, 01:39 PM

Thanks ladies xxxxx

Markia hopefully implantation? I've never had a bleed from it but heard people can. A friend ofmine thought she had af but found out at her scan she was a month further on and it wasn't af afterall!

Lilith why does he want to wait another 2 months? That's v hard work to be on le and exercising all thattime again!!

My temp dropped to pre ov levels but still waiting for af. Its teasing me :( pretty sure we'll miss ttc next month or if we don't it'll be minus any supps x

girliedreamz

March 24th, 2014, 02:27 PM

Oh, Lillith, that sucks! I hope this month is a bfp for you! And I agree that two extra months on le is way too hard. :(

LilithWiser1979

March 24th, 2014, 03:05 PM

I wrote a blog post about the fight, but we have an adults-only annual cabin trip in December that would def. not be too fun with a newborn. Apparently, he's totally fine with me not being able to drink and being hugely pregnant and unable to hike, but he doesn't want to be inconvenienced with a newborn! Sigh. I don't want to push back too hard because he COULD just decide that he doesn't want to bother since he's not AT ALL enthused about a third kid anyway.

In the meantime, I'm working to keep my blood sugar down, but I'm having a few cheats since this could be a REALLY long haul :(

stephk

March 24th, 2014, 04:07 PM

Lilith I am so sorry to hear :( they can be so selfish sometimes. Why does he want to wait until June? I looked for your blog but couldn't find it - I will read it when I do. Yes that is a long time to wait and be on the diet and doing the exercise too. I cheat all weekend every weekend so I really think you are fine having a cheat here and there. Enjoy your cheats :)

Marika - vitex can cause spotting or it could be implantation - fingers crossed

Sorry about the temp drop dreaming but you're not out until the witch appears ;)

Such a shame about your fight and I hope that you get pregnant this month. Waiting 2 months seems so long.
2 weeks seems stupidly long at the minute for me!xxx

March 24th, 2014, 05:05 PM

I started spotting on Saturday which was 9DPO, which I usually do before my period, and I've been getting all my normal PMS symptoms so I fear I may be out. I heard a single friend of mine recently got accidentally pregnant and my initial reaction was to burst into tears, this frustration is sitting so close to the surface and I am under a lot of other stress selling our house and trying to find a new house over an hour away I just want a win, you know? I know it will happen, the waiting is REALLY hard.

March 24th, 2014, 09:21 PM

Lilith, my husband also has an issue with possibly having a Christmas/December baby or close to New Years ...... It has nothing to do with any annual trips he simply says "that time of year is already financially hard and when we have kids we have to think of the long run and how it could test our finances and the child might "suffer" from not having as special of a birthday" pffffttt I can kind of understand where he's coming from but really HOW ABOUT WE JUST CONCEIVE And make sure we are able to! So we are out until MAY! But I have about 20lbs I want to lose so FX I can!
Stay Positive Arimethia! Hopefully you will get your bfP :) moving sucks on too of buying and selling too!

I'm sorry to hear that Lilith. FX you get your bfp with all of this hard work you are putting in.

You aren't out arimethia! It is so hard hearing when friends get pregnant so easy and you have been trying for so long. Good things will come! :)

I'm 8 dpo today and have been super bloated/full feeling since o, it just hasn't gone away. Tonight it's the worst, but I still feel hungry. I don't know what to think.

Bs mummy sounds promising! Lillith sorry about your fight hope this is your month:) my hubby is mega stubborn so i hear you backing off is sometimes the only answer!! Arimethia sorry to hear that I do the same (spot) before AF for those of us that have been here a while its really hard! Sticking to diet, bd at right time, remembering supps! Glad we are all in this together :) totally sympathise with bursting into tears with news of a new baby when you want something so badly....... Xxxx to all

Lillith, so sorry to hear about your fight. I truly hope that this month is going to be your bfp! And also, this ttc and swaying can probably be stressful also for the husbands even if they aren't always involved as much as we are. Could it be a reaction from that and his way of trying to cope with eventual stress?

I hope you get the chance to talk things over again when the situation is not as tense and stressful as I assume that it was when it was actually time for bd. Fingers crossed for you!

Arimethia - I am spotting as well. First hoped for implantation bleeding but now more believe that the Vitex might be the reason. What dpo are you on? Fingers crossed that your spottings are just spottings and not followed by AF!

So sorry, dreaming! :(

I may be joining the Christmas Girls. I think I may have missed O this month. :/ I’ve been doing OPKs every morning, but they’re all neg, and usually I get a positive by now. There was one morning where I got an error and waited a couple of hours, then re-tested. It was neg too... but I’m wondering if that day was really my +OPK day but I just screwed it up with the error and not testing at the right time. Will keep testing, but I’m on CD15 today... usually I’ve always got a +OPK by 13.

Or it could be that clomid just way screwed up my cycles. Isn’t the guessing game fun? ;)

girliedreamz

March 25th, 2014, 02:56 PM

Lillith, my dh feels the same way about a 4th baby. He’s so not into it but kinda going along anyway. (Emphasis on “kinda”. He changes his mind daily. Yeah, that’s not stressful at all. Sigh.) I would almost feel bad for dragging him along... except for the fact that he felt the same way about baby #3 and he absolutely adores the heck out of him and always tells me he’s glad we went for #3. I think for my dh, the idea of girl especially really scares him. He has some idea that he won’t know what to do with a girl. I said, “Do everything you did for the boys, just remember to wipe front to back.” ;)

Arimethia – Oh, I so feel you! Someone I work with told me she’s pregnant with twins this week (my dream!), and I just about cried. Both of my first two sons were “surprise” babies, so it’s a whole different feeling for me to be trying my hardest to fall preg and not get there. A sucky feeling.

I usually get a pos opk around cd 13 or even earlier, but got it cd 15 on clomid this month, very late for me. FX!!!

5 dpo for me, and I'm cramping! I had pretty early implantation cramping with my other pregnancies, so now I'm wondering if I caught the egg? I was SO negative about our attempt, and now I'm excited for testing. Sigh, hope this isn't just getting my hopes up.

So sorry :-( I am still trying to decide about april. We are thinking maybe skipping april since it would be baby right between christmas and new yeat (depending on when I o next time).

I am also planning on including the exercise in my sway and I don't know if 2 weeks of cardio and then attempting would lean blue?

It is really hard, I am super confused and change my mind about once every hour. At the same time, we might have to do many many attempts before pg so later on we might regret skipping a month.

Normally we get easily pg but swaying might make it a lot more difficult...

Lillith and girliedreamz: Good luck!!

I didn't even go check the first test cause I was just expecting it to be BFN. Ages Peter when I saw the faint 2nd line, my DH didn't believe me and so I just had to test again! I know it's early and so I'm trying not to get excited but it's so hard not to!

Hi everyone! I decided to join the thread after having posted a few topics. I've been trying 5 months and was really hoping this was our month. I am on day 37 and still no ovulation! Atomic replied to my other post and suggested whole fat, salmon, and eggs. She also asked if I stopped peppermint tea which I didn't ! I didn't know you we're supposed to stop before ovulation. Anyway, not sure what's going on in there but looking forward to chatting with you ladies:)

PinkDaisy, I'm on CD23 and still no O for me either. I did have a huge temp drop today though which usually means I will O the next day. DF couldn't finish last night and today claims he is too tired...he is napping now and I am counting the minutes until I can wake him. He doesn't understand how crucial timing is since it has been 5 days since we last BDed, argh!

I'm totally confused. I got a real squinter this morning (not going to even bother posting a pic because there's NO WAY anything readable would show up for you guys to see,) but the pregnancy test is bent, so it took forever for the pink "fog" to clear so I could read it. It may be an evap line because it took so long :(

Anyway, I had a REALLY vivid dream about my one day old DD, taking her to see people, nursing her, and holding her. She had dark hair just like mine (although, a LOT of it, completely UNLIKE my boys!) It was startling to wake up and have it all be a dream.

Then, I got my 9dpo squinter! Ugh, gonna have to wait until tomorrow for confirmation :nails:
