TTC BLUE in October?

[business.woman]

Jana yeah i think i will test like crazy
Although im going to have hcg trigger shot and then bd after 36 hours
My dr recommend it for perfect timing!

[business.woman]

I didnt gain much weight , is that bad?
Im actually forcing myself to eat much
I always thought eating is fun👷😒
And i cutoff dairy 😣

[jmomof3girls]

As long as you've gained 3-5 pounds that is great! It's overall better nutrition and more protein that's important. There has been successful sways with no dairy. If you have dairy, make sure it's full fat!

[Midwest_Complex]

Dairy is actually really recommended on the boy diet. Most girl moms eat low fat yogurt or lots of icecream so that is how that rumor came into effect...but eating dairy esp full fat and lots of cheeses etc have LOTS of protein.

[tm29]

Really interesting to hear how you're all doing on the HE. I've gained a few pounds - but not too much at all. I'm a lot more muscular! I've enjoyed weight lifting (quite fun feeling like one of the guys at the gym!) but I do feel bulkier than I'd like to be.

I'm going to start my clomid one day this week - probably friday, but sooner if I get too impatient. This means I'll be attempting quite soon. I'm very nervous! Anyone else nervous? I've decided I'm not going to find out the gender until birth because I don't want to experience disappointment when I KNOW FOR SURE I will adore my baby whichever the gender.I'm just going to do my best sway and trust that love will see me through whatever happens when the time comes.

[jmomof3girls]

Tm29-Yes, before I decided to wait I was getting very nervous. I'm glad you're able to attempt this cycle though. I promise you will be very close to your baby regardless of gender. My DD3 is the one who loves me the most. She's the most affectionate child by far. I'm happy I got each of my 3 girls just how they are. They're amazing and I wouldn't trade them for any boys.

[business.woman]

Jana yeah i gained few pounds

Midwest
I know that dairy is recommended
But i feel more comfortale when i cut them
Cuz im so dairy eater i just love milk and cheese and that got me a girl lol
Also i have noticed that all the boys mom around me hate dairy.

Tm29
Lucky you
I hate lifting its very painfull!
Good luck hope u can get your boy!

[business.woman]

So I ralized that im not having alot of protein
My break fast was mostly toast with banana or spinach toast with ketchup
From now on i will eat eggs for break fast with tomato and lots of salt
Lots of snackd
Lunch wether its meat or fish
Snacks snacks
Dinner meat with lots of salt

A big bowl of cearals before bed

Geees
I never thought that eating will be ao hard to me!

[Midwest_Complex]

My period is one day late I am getting BFN still..hmm?

[jmomof3girls]

Business woman- try to eat between 90-120 grams of protein every day. Eat protein and carbs together at every meal and snack! It keeps your blood sugar at stable levels and that's great for ttc a boy!

[jmomof3girls]

My period is one day late I am getting BFN still..hmm?

It could be the supps. They can delay AF. What kind of pregnancy test are you using?

[yogi&booboo]

I agree Midwest,
Supplements always throw cycles off 😩

[business.woman]

Its so quite today
Hows everything with the diet?

[yogi&booboo]

Business Woman,
I feel the same way. I think there are more gals swaying pink than blue 😕. I am in my 2ww. How are you doing? This HE diet is hard 😔

[BeckMom89]

Oh Gosh!

My facebook is blowing up with friends that are expecting boys and I can't even describe my feelings. It is not a jealous feeling just blah. I start TTC after this cycle and yes the supplements messed my cycle too ladies.

[yogi&booboo]

BeckMom89,
I feel the same way. I am jealous though because every single one of the women I know already have girls and are finally now having their boys. What in the world is going on? Maybe its the season for boys and I am bummed I am boysway part of it 😔 Hopefully you get your boy soon!

[business.woman]

Yogi
Im doing fine and im sooo excited
October is here soon

Beckmom
You will post your big news of being pregnant with a lil boy soon 😍

[BeckMom89]

It has to be boy season Yogi, at clinical there is 8 baby boys to 2 baby girls. I hope my sway works! I hope all of our sways are filled with blue!

[yogi&booboo]

Hi ladies,
Dropping in to say hello and to see how everyone is doing :) I am honestly trying not to synptom spot but I have been feeling somewhat strange as of yesterday. Today mostly but I was very nauseated yesterday with some mild cramping but today the cramping is a bit stronger and my boobies are tingly and with some minor stabbing pains. I hope this is a good sign. Is it possible to start feeling symptoms as early as 5 dpo?

[business.woman]

Sure its boy season
And our boys will be here soon !
Yogi
I dunno i think its waaaay too early
Wait and i hope u'll get your positive soon


Ladies what supplements are you using?
My EWCM is usually not realy like eggwhite around O
i need suplements to get that eggwhit EWCM

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you business.woman!
What has helped me is green tea and lemon water. EPO is also great but can throw your cycles off.

[Midwest_Complex]

Hi girls,

I am 3 days late and still getting BFNs. I think i ovulated late and its causing my period to be late.

We are about to buy a home (yay!) Once we sort through that and get moved in, we will start TTC again. I really hope I'm not pregnant now.

I def hope you all get your boys and I am eager to peak in every now and then to get some tips. Take care ♡

[Boysway]

What supps are you on Midwest?

[Auzair]

Business woman i would say u should test twice on cd17 coz it sounds like u have missed the Lh surge coz it peaks for 12 hrs or may be u have a lighter surge hope it helps


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[yogi&booboo]

Congratulations Midwest! We hope to hear from you soon :)

[business.woman]

Midwest congraaatzzz 😍
Hope u get the home and the baby soon!

Auzair
Yeah i think i missed it
Well i'll take hcg trigger shot
Its best to make sure when do i ovulate.

[business.woman]

the first week of my diet i tested my ph ( i pee on hp paper strip )
it was yellow ( acidic)
now its dark blue ( alkaline )

Did u guys try to test your ph level?

[yogi&booboo]

I haven't tried yer business woman but would love to give it a try. What time of day did you do the test. ?

[ELP]

Hello all, I hope all sways are doing great!! especially people waitng on their bfp's!! So exciting!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say not to get too worried about what your ph was doing :) This can be affected by what your last meal was ie lemon water and has been disproved in regards to swaying, I think theres a thread on it somewhere I'll see if I can find it! Its just one more thing that starts to get people all stressed about unnecessarily ok :)
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/11684-ph-pickle.html

Yogi its definitely possible to start feeling symptoms at 5dpo, look out for heart palpatations and ridiculous bouts of unnecessary forgetfulness aswell, these can be caused by the progesterone surge as baby sends out its 1st wave on implantation, whether it sticks or not will be another matter but it could well be trying :)

tm29, reading your post on your body change is brilliant! I was lucky to have 2 succesful blue sways and on both occasions I was commented on about how much more muscular I was looking, the kids were calling me 'Hench' lol!! I hope it means the same in all countries lol :bigsmile: So ladies really try and boost those biceps even if its just doing random lifts of heavy objects around the house, one thing I am doind at the minute (even though I am not ttc atm) is when I dop the kids off for school I have 2 lil ones in the double pushchair and I lift the back wheels off the ground when I walk home, its unoticable what I'm doing to other people but its a good heavy lift, it all helps!!

[Midwest_Complex]

My period started! Yay! See you ladies in a month or 2..goooood luck!! ♡

[business.woman]

ELP

U so encouraging , im not lifting a lot
Just squating with heavy things 30 seconds lol
I realy should lift more often

So hp test doesnt mean anything?
bcz before everytime i test its very low
But now i test at anytime and its always high

Yogi
Several times , when ever i remember lol

[business.woman]

Midwest good luck!!!

[Boysway]

Midwest, Glad af finally showed up for you :)

[business.woman]

Hi ladies...
Whats up?

So I have stupid question

Whats the Ion ?
How does it work?
For swaying blue or what?

[atomic sagebrush]

Ions don't work for gender swaying, and when TTC a boy it is very important to stay away from them because the "positive" ions that are supposedly said to sway blue are actually harmful to health and may raise risks of cancer. It is ok for pink swayers to use "negative" ions for TTC a girl because those are beneficial to health (even though I do not believe them to sway in any way) but for blue, it is not a good idea at all.

[atomic sagebrush]

pH is here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gender-swaying-general-discussion/11684-ph-pickle.html

[business.woman]

Great !
Thnx atomic!!!

[business.woman]

So , whats with EWCM?
Im drinking ALOT of green tea
And i will eat alot of grapefot and drink rubitssuin
Cuz im SUPER dry
I hope i can get alot of CM next month

[Boysway]

Green tea can cause some people to dry up. Are you drinking enough fluids through the day? Sometimes this is the cause.

[business.woman]

Nop , i dont realy drink alot of fluids
I will try to drink alot
Thnx boysway

[Boysway]

Yes, definitely drink more fluids :) That makes a pretty big difference.

[business.woman]

Also , my grean tea with mint flavor
Shall I worry about that?

[3GMomPraying4Boy]

Hi ladies! So I finally got the wheat grass it is frozen ****s. How often am I suppose to take this from Af-O? once a day, twice a day, three times??

I guess I'm just trying it this cycle to see how I react to it as I have never had it before.

business.women - I was very dry too. last cycle I used Algae Dha (vegetarian option for fish oil), I also took Fertile CM AF-O and I everyday drink water with lemon in it at least 3 times daily. I only drank green tea AF-O 2 times a day. So in this last cycle I got lots of EWCM! All of a sudden.

Also I had green tea a couple of months back but it dried me up and I had green tea at tim hortons and that day I got EWCM. I bought their tea bags and it has lemon oil in it. So I don't take it during breakfast because warm lemon water can lower blood sugar so I have it after lunch and after dinner.

The first green tea I had couple months back had other stuff in it that is why it was not working. So make sure you check the label.

The only thing that is missing is PH now. I check my EWCM's PH and that is acidic. But Atomic said not to worry about PH because she had her son at a PH of 5?

Wish you lots of luck in your sway!

[business.woman]

3gmom
Whats the wheat grass for?

Uh im very concerned about the EWCM ، i used to have alot
I dunno what happened now!

Im expecting AF in 5-6 days and i will try cough medicin + pure grean tea without mint +grapephot
Hops it works !!

Thnks 3gmom
Wish you luck too ❤❤

[Boysway]

business.woman, you might want to check with atomic regarding the green tea with mint. Obviously I don't know how much mint it continues but, I am not 100% sure if mint is suitable for swaying blue.

3GMom, I take Wheatgrass tablets around O time.

I drink green tea with lemon. I'm in Australia and I buy Twinings brand Green tea and Lemon, it's pretty tasty. I often put in a squirt of honey.

[tm29]

Hi everyone. Just had a post-clomid scan and it looks like I'm on course for our attempt this week. So relieved!

Anyone know anything about DH taking robitussin too? I'm taking it but I wondered if men ought to.

[3GMomPraying4Boy]

Men can take robitussin it prevents their stuff from being clumpy.

Now with that said always read the labels!!! The product you want most is Guifenesin in the robitussin. Some have more some have less.

In Canada I found that Benelyn had more guiefenesin it was 200mg vs 100mg in the robitussin. In the U.S. they have mucinex tablets that contain only guiefenesin of 400mg which has given me better results.

Green Tea with lemon in it is best check the labels on that.

Atomic said couples who used wheat grass had good results I'm not sure if that is to increase the PH.

I got some this week. It is frozen ****s of it and the very next day my PH has gone up a bit which has never happened for me. You gotta just swig it like a shot a tequila and quickly drink something else. Tastes like fresh cut grass....lol

Again I'm just trying the sway. Maybe a moderator can add something if I'm wrong.

I don't drink the green tea all the time. I just do it 2 days after my period finishes until O. 2 times a day.

I think that's what I'm going to do with the wheat grass 2 times day. AF-O.

[business.woman]

Boysway

Well then i'd better drink green tea with no addition
To be in the safe side

Tm29
Good luck in that✌

3gmom

Wow dh should take that too
Cuz i have noticed that his stuff became clumpy so quickly
Thnx for the info ✌

[ELP]

Hello again :)
Just popping in my thoughts on the wheatgrass, I did use this for my boys, I had the powdered kind which I would take a teaspoonful of each and every morning. I think I'm right in saying that the wheatgrass is a fantastic boy supplement as it is a super nutrient boost, and our intention as Trivers Willard (TW) boy swaying is to tell our bodies that nutrition and condition is good and we are top of the food chain! So the daily extra nutrition from this is a great foundation for the theory. I would want people to take it daily or every other day really just to make sure at no point the body thinks 'uh oh! that great nutrition is gone, we better be careful on what gender to conceive!' itms :) I take a mixed grass daily now (not ttc) and I can honestly say that within an hour of taking it I can feel the physical and mental difference, much more energy and concentration, so it helps me now and when swaying to then start the littel physical extras which add to the sway aswell, like little bursts of lifting throughout the day and not craving my sugary crash food! Think nutrition and condition for blue!!!! :bigsmile:

[BeckMom89]

Lately,

I've been feeling so aggressive. I don't know if my filter finally left but I get into heated arguments with people such as with my child's teacher. The teacher suggested that my daughter has an attention disorder because she won't sit still and focus on the subjects, she also stated that she is a distraction to her class. My daughter is 4, I did homeschooling until it was time for Pre-k and in the classroom she gets bored. I was so angry that the teacher was so quick to suggest an attention disorder instead of learning my child. Besides all of this, I just have been so aggressive, I've been hounding nurses at clinical when my patients need help and they do not listen to them, I've been arguing in debates on facebook and the list goes on and on.

Is there anything else besides exercise that I can do? I feel like I could get into the boxing ring with Rhonda Rousey!

[business.woman]

ELP
Wheat grass sounds so cool!
I dunnno how to get it from where i live?

[business.woman]

BeckMom89

Try boxing this could help!
Well i feel the same these few days
Im so nervous and angry
Im teying my best to relax
My vacation starts 2morrow , finally!

[sageviolet]

Feeling aggressive is good testosterone and boy sway, right? I've been wondering if I should play a game or something competitive. I know a woman with 4 boys who does martial arts, but I can't see myself doing that. Maybe I just need to get mad at some people? lol (imo, I don't think a 4 year old should be expected to sit still! Give that teacher a copy of a good new book I just read: "A Moving Child Is a Learning Child")

Would fresh wheat grass work? I have some seeds, but I haven't tried it. What brand of powder do you recommend?

[Boysway]

Yes, something competitive would be perfect sageviolet.

[cmay23]

Hello! I have 3 girls and we really want a boy! I'm just now starting to read everything as far as the diet and only dtd once at ovulation. The diet concerns me because I eat maybe 1600 calories a day and love to be active. I hardly use salt on my food and don't really snack. This will be tough! So when should I start this diet? Does it need to be a month or 2 month thing? I don't want to gain a lot of weight. Also is it really best to only dtd once the day of ovulation or maybe a few times the last couple days? Thank you all and good luck!

[business.woman]

Cmay23
U need to diet at least 6 weeks
Read "how we got our boys" its very useful
And u need to DTD more , they got better results better than once

[cmay23]

Thank you. I've been trying to read all the articles but never saw the minimum for the diet. Looks like I'll have some cereal for breakfast. I'm planning on TTC in about 6/7 weeks so this should be perfect.

[tm29]

Hi cmay23 - I felt exactly the same way as you about the diet. I was so intimidated! But I've done it for almost 7 weeks and I honestly do not look like I've gained much weight. I'm the same dress size - just quite a bit more muscular. It's not the way I want to look, but it's absolutely fine. No one has noticed. I was eating around 1600 per day and with the increase in weight lifting x4 per week I've eaten 2,500 per day. It really is possible - your body will thank you for it. My blood sugar hasnt been this good EVER. Good luck - take it a day at a time and you'll see it's fine. Full fat dairy is heaven!

[yogi&booboo]

Hi ladies,
Joining you all again. I just experienced a chemical but gladly moving on to October :)

[yogi&booboo]

Started the October 2WW for anyone who would like to join! Good Luck to everyone :)

[BeckMom89]

I'm sorry Yogi. Glad to see you in October. Blue dust for us!

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you Beckmom 😙💖 Blue dust for us!

[tm29]

If I've understood you correctly, then I'm doing the 2WW with you. I feel positive about my sway and our attempts. Now we need a lot of luck.

Are you nervous yogi&booboo? I am! Good luck to you. I look forward to hearing what happens to everyone in this thread.

[yogi&booboo]

Yes, we are in the tww together :)! I am not so nervous just because I am team green with a a slight blue sway. I am actually going through a chemical right now as we speak but I am totally ready for what's to come. I am thriled to see many bfps to come.

Tm29 I am excited for all of you. I know must have your sway to a T..Good luck to you too and sending you a lot of blue dust.

[tm29]

Thanks yogi&booboo . Sorry to hear about what you've been through.

I have worked very hard on my sway, but we'll see. Mother nature knows best. I'm hoping!

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you tm!
I know what you mean. Im going on almost a year of swaying :( Good Luck and keeping my fingers crossed that young get a one hit wonder :D:p

[jmomof3girls]

Hi ladies. Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. I've been pretty busy. Sorry about your chemical Yogi. I'm happy you are getting an attempt in for October. Good luck boysway, beck, and tm29. I'm looking forward to all of your updates!

[jmomof3girls]

Welcome to the new ladies!

[Boysway]

Well ladies, I managed to sneak in a second September attempt :) +OPK yesterday morning with bd yesterday morning and last night. I'm hoping that's enough because dh wasn't keen on bd this morning.

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you Jan!
Good luck to you too!

[jmomof3girls]

That's great news boysway

[tm29]

Great news boysway! DH and I are exhausted after a lot of BD. I will be glad not to have to think about it in trms of insemination LOL - it does destroy the romance a little. I got a steady smiley face on my opk on Friday (went straight from zero to peak) and a flashing smiley (high fertility) yesterday. We managed x4 attempts in total. We'll be very lucky if it happens first time - but I had a scan before my attempts and there were two mature eggs there...

Best of luck to all of you. I am now longing to stop lifting weights and eating so much!

[business.woman]

Yogi best of luck to you!

Boysway finger crossed this. Get your bfp :DS:


I bought rubitssuin and mucinex
Shall I take them both? I'm on cd 5. I wanna to increase my ewcm and I'm drinking tons of water. I keep running to the bathroom lol

I Dunno how I'm I gonna make my dh to take mucinex

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you Business Woman! 😙
Good Luck to you too :)

[yogi&booboo]

What do you think ladies? Just saw this announcement on facebook. Just throwing it out there because stevia is recommended for blue swayers. Would love atomic's input on this one http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/01/f5fc4107c43192386bf04ac1bf6a33f4.jpg

[jmomof3girls]

I will be that!!! I love diet soda.

[jmomof3girls]

Business woman, your husband doesn't need to take mucinex and you should only take 1. Good luck!

[jmomof3girls]

Update please Boysway!!!
Are any of you in the 2ww?

[yogi&booboo]

Janamom is stevia considered a diet sweetner?

I am not in the 2 WW but I created the October 2WW thread. Subscribe to it, I have seen a few October swayers in there :)

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, it's a zero calorie sweetener but all natural and not bad for you like the aspartame they put in most diet drinks. I will check out your thread to keep updated on you all. When are you scheduled to O this month?

[yogi&booboo]

Aahhhh ok got it. Thanks for the info. I am cd 6 right now so I should get my 1st positive cd 13 (10/10/14) & ovulate cd16 (10/12/14) :eek:

How about yourself?:D

[jmomof3girls]

Yay!!!! I'm not ttc for awhile. My DD2 has surgery on her eyes coming up in Dec. And I may have an opportunity to have a great job next June and I could be moving back to my hometown. It may be a year or more before I ttc! All of these things keep happening lol!!!

[sageviolet]

Just catching up. Sorry to hear about your troubles Yogi. Big hugs! And sorry about your wait Janamom. Hope dd2's procedure goes well.

Our attempt is done for this cycle (dh is worn out, lol) and I'm just waiting to see a temp rise in the morning. Compared to the attempt last month, this one had more bding and we used preseed for the first time.

[belleboi]

I'm waiting for my temp to go up to sageviolet:) we can wait together! we had o-3 o-1 and o bd, if my o date is correct, so I'm hoping that's enough.

[Boysway]

Jana, I'm 4 dpo right now :D

[business.woman]

Thnx Jana for the info. Its may be for your best to delay ! Sorry though waiting is hard !

Yogi im on cd7 today and its the end of my af for sure
We are so close lol!

Boysway im visioning you telling us that you got bfp

[business.woman]

Yogi
When you gey your positive OPK ,you ovulate 2 days after that?

[BeckMom89]

I'm getting so extremely nervous! I'm on cd 6 and I'll start testing on cd10. I'm predicting a positive OPK on the 8th. I'm nervous because my husband works night shift and our "schedule" to dtd is complicated. I want to get 3-4 attempts around the +OPK. I'm freaking out!

[yogi&booboo]

Business Woman,
I do ! On the third day since Ive used opk and when I used to temp, my ovulation always occurred two days after. I.think it may be sooner because this chemical I experienced recently makes me belong it may be sooner because I bd the night before my pos opk and that's how I was aboard to get mu positive. I always bd thr day after the first opk because I did not want to bd to early. How about you? How long after do you ovulte?

[yogi&booboo]

Woo hoo Business Woman and Beckmom, we are very close on cd's. Good luck and blue dust to us all!

[business.woman]

Yogi actually im not sure , i didnt track my ovulation lol , i will just bd through fertile
window and hope to get pg.

Beckmom Join the club lol

Thnx yogi , u too
I hope we all get pg blue bundle 😍
"Visioning us posting we got bfp then posting ITS A BOY "

[business.woman]

Imagenation is the key to live the life u want 😃

[yogi&booboo]

Business Woman well I hope its soon :) OMG I hope we all see little boy notices 😆

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck to all of you ladies! I can't wait to see all of those boy ultrasound pics.

[business.woman]

So im cd11 now and rubitssin works! I have alot of CM hopefully i will see tons of EWCM after 6-7 days

[sageviolet]

I am loving the positive blue thoughts on this board! I really need them. My temps didn't cooperate this month and I'm wondering if I Oed correctly.

[jmomof3girls]

Yes sageviolet there is wonderful ladies on this site. Are you using opks? I've heard tempting can be tricky!! Most of us on this site use opks to avoid the confusion.

[yogi&booboo]

How is everyone doing so far? I am cd 11 entering cd 12 in a few hours. I am expected to have a positive opk this thursday or friday morning and should be making my attempts then through the weekend. I hope to keep my self busy with some planned outings these weekends coming up. Good luck to everyone:) I hope we see many bfps.

[Boysway]

Yay for your attempt coming up :D Wishing you bfp sticky thoughts :)

I am 9 dpo. Sore bbs since yesterday. Sore all over, last few cycles were only sore at the sides. I have a lot cramping today, in particular this afternoon. I'm hoping these are good signs for this cycle. Lots of going to the toilet today to when I haven't had a huge amount to drink. I was sooo close to buying a pack of frer but, changed my mind when I ran into a work mate and then my Mum while I was down the shops. I did buy 50 hpt's from Ebay (Fertility2family brand) but, deliberately chose a seller that would take a while for the parcel to get to me. The should arrive Tuesday next week. I was thinking of testing on Saturday though. I see 1111 a lot and Saturdays date (here) will be 11.10.14. I'm hoping it will bring me luck :D

[True Blue]

Good Luck Boysway your chart looks great :)

[stephk]

Oooh Boysway good luck I'll be stalking for good news!! Blue dust to all you ladies :)

[Mamato3?]

Best wishes boywsay!!

[Boysway]

Thanks ladies :D I just realized not only will Saturday be 11.10.14, I will also be 11 dpo :D

[sageviolet]

Yes, I like that rise boysway!

My temp finally went up nice and ff gave me crosshairs today! Yes, I did use a digital opk and got the smiley face but as you see my temps didn't go up afterwards and actually went down first. This isn't normal for me, so I'm wondering if my hormones were off and how much of a chance I have this cycle. What do you think?

[BeckMom89]

Hey Ladies quick question....
Last month I got a +OPK on cd 12, today next cycle day 12, I tested at 8 am and got a negative. I plan on testing at noon. Should I test again after that for the day?

[jmomof3girls]

You could test again toward the evening. I only get positive opks after 3pm.

[jmomof3girls]

Yes, I like that rise boysway!

[BeckMom89]

Hey Jana,
Thanks for the reply. I am the same way I don't get positives until 3 pm but I have a hospital shift today with neonates and I didn't want to spend too much time away. Also I've been feeling mild cramping since Monday and I'm not sure why. Any ideas?

[jmomof3girls]

It could be part of the ovulation process. About 2-3 before I ovulate I feel nauseous for most of the day. I'm not sure why!
Maybe you can take the opk when you have a break at work, after 3pm.

Boysway,
Woohoo!! Those are great signs! Please let us know as soon as you find out!!

[tm29]

Hi all. I'm feeling really low and not sure what to do with myself. I've done a few ultra early tests and they've all been BFN. I'm scared it didn't work out this time. I'm only 10dpo but the tests are the extremely sensitive ones. I won't give up until 14dpo but my heart is heavy.

This is my first 2ww and it is no. fun. at. all.

Hoping you're all feeling much happier!

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck Boysway!

tm29,
Hang in there and keep testing :)

[business.woman]

Boysway that looks so promising!!! Good luck!

Yogi , my O should be in saturday , sun , and mon !

"Imagening us posting the U/S of our boy parts!!! 😍😍😍

[yogi&booboo]

Business woman,

I have been too lol. Woo hoo. I hope we get all of our attempts in. I had pre ovulation bleeding today which means my +opk should be as planned. I hope you come back to update on monday. Good luck and keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

[Boysway]

Beck, your O day can change. I know mine changes quite frequently. Keep using your OPK's till you get a +opk. I also suggest testing twice a day if possible. Good luck :)

[Boysway]

Huge hugs tm. I hope you get your bfp soon :)

Thanks ladies. I sure hope this is it :)

[tm29]

Well, I'm out. Really sad. Got aF at 10dpo. So disappointing!

But I am not going to be defeated. I'm now debating whether to take clomid next time.

[BeckMom89]

I'm sorry tm29. Disappointment feels terrible, I still having even gotten a positive Opk. I hope you get you BFP soon.

[tm29]

Thanks Beckmom. It's really nice that we can be here for each other. What's going on with your opk? I've probably missed out on some details - if you shared them. Hope you get it soon.

[business.woman]

Sorry tm29 ، im sure u'll get your bfp soon !!

[business.woman]

Today i have EWCM and we didnt dtd yet!!
Its so soon though i thought i will have it by tomorrow or saturday
Shall i start dtd today skip friday and dtd sat , sun & mon?

[yogi&booboo]

Are you doing the smep plan Business Woman?
I have been bd'ing every other day. I started to see my watery cm since yesterday. Still no ewcm.

[jmomof3girls]

Tm29- I'm sorry it didn't work out this time. I think if it doesn't work soon that you might want to consider the Clomid. Lots of women get bfn the first try though, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself!!

[business.woman]

Yep yogi , i wanna dtd on fertile window only

[yogi&booboo]

Then you should start dtd at positive opk. Give or take two days at ewcm you should have a +opk tomorrow or early saturday morning:)

[business.woman]

Great ! Thnx yogi!

[sageviolet]

Sorry, tm! Even if everything goes right, you still only have a 20% chance each cycle. I wouldn't worry until you've been trying for at least 6 months unless you're near menopause and might need some help. And I would stay away from Clomid since that sways girl. There are other things you can try. Last cycle was a flop for us, so this time we tried Preseed. I don't know if it worked yet, but I'll know by next week!

[tm29]

Thanks sageviolet and business.woman and Jana - so, so much appreciated. I was on clomid 50 last time. My dr says he thinks I could do it without - but Atomic thinks I'll neutralise the pink effects of clomid with diet/pre-seed/robitussin. I 'm really undecided and I HAVE TO DECIDE TODAY! I could risk not taking clomid but I'm afraid I won't ovulate without it. Then I'll have to take it the next month anyway. Ugh. The dr did say I could choose either way. He says I don't need the clomid, but this is my first aF in 5 months after stopping BF my daughter so I don't have total confidence in my body!

Anyone? What would you do? Risk not O'ing at all this month? But avoid possible pink effects of clomid? As Atomic says, if clomid really swayed a lot, people would take it just to guarantee a girl.

[jmomof3girls]

It depends on how fast you want to get pregnant. If you're in a hurry, I would take the Clomid. If you're willing to give yourself a few months to try without it, I would probably do that first. If I was you, I would give it a try naturally 1 more month naturally and if I got a bfn I would try the Clomid. You can balance out the Clomid with your boy sway tactics! Good luck.

[True Blue]

I read here a lot without posting but tm I just wanted to say give your body a chance, there is nothing to say you won't ovulate next month :) I understand it's your first O since BF'ing but your body may well be back on track now. Try one more month and if you don't ovulate try the Clomid then.

[tm29]

Hi Jana and True Blue. My DH agrees with you. He actually felt very strongly. So, we're going to try without the clomid.
I really hope my body is working normally now!

Super basic question. I have never used opk except after clomid when I had to test 3 days after I stopped the pills. Do I start testing as soon as AF is finished? I'll find the answer somewhere if you don't have the time for such basic q's! I'm VERY anxious about opk. After clomid I went straight from empty circle to steady smiley - and I still don't believe it was right. All very anxiety provoking.

Thank you so much for the support and input - I really value it.

[True Blue]

Hi tm I would start using opks from CD8 :)
It is so much easier said than done but try not to let anxiety take over. I've been there so do understand but it will ruin the whole ttc process for you.

Good luck :) lots of ovulation wishes blue dust to you :fx:

[tm29]

Thank you True Blue - CD8. I'm on CD2 now. I made myself so miserable last time by going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and then not knowing if it was late enough to mean it was FMU and then doubting the result whichever way I decided! I must remain calm.

Here's hoping I O without the clomid. According to the doctor, I should be ok... We'll see. Blue dust to all of us on this thread. We're all in it together.

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck tm29!! I honestly think the breastfeeding messed with your cycle!

[business.woman]

Good luck tm29!!!

[business.woman]

Its cd15 today
And no O pain yet!
Cm waterly

And my iphone application says 2 days till O day!

[Boysway]

ARRRRRGGGHHH!!! Temp dropped below the coverline. Af isn't far away :(

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck business woman!
Boysway- Nooo!! :sad:

[Boysway]

I'm sooo over it Jana!! Another month to come of trying to get dh to bd more then once in my fertile window. Another month of supps, of disappointment and another month of seeing and hearing about news of friends and work mates having new babies. To rub salt into the wound, about 98% are having babies :(

[Boysway]

Plus it's near impossible to get dh to bd through the week. If I O again on CD 16 it will be on a Wednesday :(

[jmomof3girls]

I'm so sorry Boysway! You must be so frustrated and exhausted. I must admit, it feels like you've been at this for a long time. I'm hoping this is your lucky, boy-making month!

[yogi&booboo]

Boysway maybe late implantation?

Janamom Good Luck and I hope your hard work pays with a bfp :)

[Boysway]

Thanks Jana. I actually checked my temp again because I realized I hadn't had enough hours of sleep before checking my temp. It did go up but it really does feel like af is coming. I even took pain relief for cramps last night which I don't even need to do when af is here. I have spotted in the past with pregnancies but I really don't hold hope. I had another bfn this morning. I expect af to either arrive through the night (night shift tonight) or some time tomorrow.

[Boysway]

I really thought we had a good chance this time. We bd the morning and afternoon of my +Opk. Maybe the thing missing is we bd the morning of and the morning after my +Opk on the cycle I fell pregnant with Miss 4.

And, yes it feels like I've been attempting for a long time. 9 months on the diet so far :( three months worth of actual chances in that time.

[Adia]

You aren't alone Boysway...this month marks 2 years of TTC for me with nothing to show for it but two miscarriages and a bucket of BFNs!

[yogi&booboo]

Nervous for my approaching positive opk. Me and the dh have started bd'ind since cd 4. We bd everything day from cd 4 till cd 7, and every other day since positive opk. Dh is on board with putting in all three attempts @ + opk. I read on someones post regarding the smep plan that it sways blue by atomic. This is pretty much what we are going for because my dh doesn't want to hold back. I am so close to my positive opk but the green tea or one of the supplements I am taking has pushed my cycle a little farther in. Wish me luck ladies and good luck to all you gals still left in October. I hope we see many bfps :p

I find all this so complicated - I'm just going to copy you yogiandboo! You BD every OTHER day from CD4? Is that right? I'm CD3 now. AF only lasted 2 days which makes me think my cycle is still weird. I'm not taking clomid this month so I just have to HOPE I O without it.
GL to you!

[yogi&booboo]

tm
I've read to bd every 2 to 3 days and at positive opk you bd basically three times. Once that night or following morning you first see your positive. The following morning and at night the same say. The more the marrier. I know what you mean with AF. I usually ovulate by cd 16 but I had a chemical last month and im still waiting to see my positive. Almost anything can throw a cycle out of wack. From my previous experience I know green tea and certain supplements can do that..Good luck to you too!.Hope you ovulate soon 😊

[jmomof3girls]

Boysway, I'm still holding out hope for you this cycle then!!! And if not, I have a strong feeling it will happen soon. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

[jmomof3girls]

You aren't alone Boysway...this month marks 2 years of TTC for me with nothing to show for it but two miscarriages and a bucket of BFNs!

Adia, that's awful!!! Have you went to the Dr to see why this might be happening?

[jmomof3girls]

Yogi- I'm hoping this is your month also!

[jmomof3girls]

Good luck tm29.

[stephk]

boysway - I am so sorry. And I don't want to give false hope but thats what happened to me the month I got my BFP, temp dropped had awful AF pain so bad i had to take pain relief, then nothing....3 days after that I got my positive.

I was so hoping this was your month too, you have suffered enough with this :(

[sageviolet]

Tm29, yes, you absolutely have a chance! Did you know some ladies catch the first egg and never have af return because of breastfeeding? I actually know someone who had this happen and didn't realize the surprise was in there until she was 6 or 7 months along! And the breastfed baby was only around 3 months old at the time conception must have happened. I am still breastfeeding my 2 year old, but af came back at 8 months. I've been monitoring my cycles and all is normal now. I had to take B6 to get my leuteal phase long enough to sustain a pregnancy. If you're having trouble, it could be the lp length, and I don't think Clomid affects that does it? I thought it affected egg maturation? Also, I personally start opk testing at cd9. I tried internet cheapies, but they're so hard to read and will definitely stress you. I recommend the Clearblue digital regulars (not Advanced) that give you a smiley face. I used them with fmu. And how is your cm quality? You might need some supplements like the cough medicine or try some Preseed. If only we could wish to be pregnant and have it happen instantly! Sometimes I desire that and sometimes I think maybe things are better this way anyway.

[yogi&booboo]

I am cd 16 today by an hour or so because its 12:59am here in California. Only a few more ours and I test again. My opks still aren't fully positive but offly close. I swear I wish I was as optimistic as my dh. He can see and feel-good my frustration. I had a few tantrums but he kept calming me down and hugging me saying not to worry and that I should see my +opk within the next day or so. I hope hes right. Im going on 11 months now trying to conceive without success and I am pretty worn out.

[business.woman]

Yogi , keep dtd you may get your positive bfp this month!

[business.woman]

Im very concerned about CM
I dont have much and i got my positive opk yesterday
I took mucinex 600 2 pills every 12 hours and didnt do much!
Rubitssuin gave me better results in the days before my O

And im having bad O pain

[Boysway]

Hats off to you for keeping at it adia. I can't begin to imagine the pain and frustration you must go through.

Good luck yogi :D Good luck tm :)

business.woman, are you drinking enough water/juice?

I am definitely out! Onto the next cycle.

Jana, I will be 32 in December.

[tm29]

Adia and boysway - I'm so sorry to hear you don't yet have your bfp. Adia - I feel sure a dr would have a view on what's going on for you. Maybe you've already thought about all that.

Either way, I wish you the best of luck. I'm really worried I'll regret not taking Clomid to induce Ovulation this cycle - but I'm in with a shot - thanks sageviolet for the pep-talk. Breastfeeding and weight loss after pg was to blame I think. Just hoping I'm now good to go.

Do you all use Cleablue smiley face opk? I don't like them much - any better ones?

[business.woman]

Boysway
Yep actually im drinking water more than i usually do

[BeckMom89]

Welp ladies I think I can unofficially say I'm pregnant because my right leg has been aching all day and all night and it only did that when I was pregnant with my DD. Except this is a little too early for this ache for me. I don't know if my boy Sway worked though because we only got 2 good attempts all week and no positive Opk. But we just keep praying and knowing to put our faith in God because he gives us what we need not what we want. So here is the the dreaded 2 week wait! I'll be praying for boys for all the ladies here! Send blue dust my way please!

Massive amounts of blue sparkly luck to you! How interesting about your leg?! Great to have a sign like that. FX this is your gorgeous little son

[yogi&booboo]

Buisness woman have you tried mucinex liquid form? I heard your body absorbs it better than the pills :)

Boysway I am truly sorry & Thank-you . Good Luck to you too!

Tm I hade the clearblue smileys. It always gave me a smiley at the wrong times.I use wondfos and I think I am safe to say almost everyone here uses them too. They work great and are affordable :)

Good Luck Beckmom! I hope this is a great sign leading to your bfp :)

[business.woman]

Yogi , i couldnt find it in liquid form only found the pills
Anyways im done with dtd and dh is worn out lol
Bd on the positive opk +
Twice the day after

I dunno if we can bd tonight we are exhausted

[business.woman]

Beckmom
Best of luck to you , tons of blue dust 😍

[business.woman]

Only 2 weeks and we will see lots of bfps , I swear

[tm29]

I have ordered wondfos yogiandboo - thank you.

[janse]

I am doing the SMEP plan and trying some of the HE diet. Only just started though so I am not sure how useful it really is.
OPK is already starting to darken and I am only on cd10. Also using preseed on the non fertile days. Can't find soft cups in Australia which is frustrating.

Boysway, did af come?
Congrats beck!
Welcome and good luck janse

[Boysway]

Jana, yes af made her appearance. I'm on cd3.

[business.woman]

Uh , i have had a bad infection down there!
I think it started in my fertile window 😞
Yesterday was the last day in my fertile window

I hope this wont kill the lil swimmers😣

Can i take treatment , or this will affect in sorta

[business.woman]

Do u think infections sway pink??

[yogi&booboo]

Business Woman try some yogurt down there. Atomic would recommend you use this for a yi. You can try taking a probiotic. From what I hear some help sway blue.

Here is a short thread Business Woman

A FLIPPIN YEAST INFECTION days before my attempt! Help

[business.woman]

Thnx yogi , i will try the yogurt today
And i will eat garlic as well

If i took the probiotic , even though i already Ovulated , this still could help?
I will try it 😃

[yogi&booboo]

As far as swaying goes not that I am aware of. Once the egg is fertilitzed the gender is already determined. In other words by the time implantation occurss usually 10dpo the gender of the baby is already in its dna.

[True Blue]

It is more what you do before ovulation that sways. Take the probiotic though as it's in keeping with a blue sway and can help your YI :)

[jmomof3girls]

That sucks Boysway!! I have a good feeling about this cycle.
Yes, Yogi is right, a baby has a gender right away.
Yogi, what's the latest with you?

[yogi&booboo]

Hey Jana :)
Nothing too exciting :(. Still waiting for my surge. I bought some supposed super sensitive opks that are arriving today so I am going test happy as soon as I get them.

How are you coming along? When do you start testing?

[jmomof3girls]

I have put my sway off for a few reasons. I'm starting to think I'm making up excuses to not sway right now :sad: this will be my last baby and although I would love another girl, I'm afraid I'll never get the boy I deeply desire. I think I'm chickening out. I'm lame :sad:

[True Blue]

Jananmomof3girls I can totally relate. I fight a battle in my mind sometimes and have found myself suggesting pushing the idea further away but deep down I know we will go for it and what will be will be and be loved ;)

[jmomof3girls]

Jananmomof3girls I can totally relate. I fight a battle in my mind sometimes and have found myself suggesting pushing the idea further away but deep down I know we will go for it and what will be will be and be loved ;)

Yes, I think you're right. I love being a girl mom and would always welcome another but it this is my last chance! I wouldn't be sad if I had another daughter but I might be sad if I never had a son. Also, the thought of 4 kids is scaring me in general!

[Mamato3?]

I'm in the same boat with you girls!
I have quit smoking for 1 month now and my next step is to remove the Mirena IUD but haven't done that yet, though I originally planned to do it beginning of October...
My biggest worry is the 3rd c-section though, not so much the gender outcome.
Here VBAC is not something the doctors do. They are strongly opposed to it :sad:

[jmomof3girls]

Mama- I think you should be ok (I hope) I've heard c-sections are very painful!

[sageviolet]

AF showed up today. :-(
My cycles are getting shorter. The last one was 25 days (lp 12) and this one was 24 days (lp 11). I don't remember if it was this board or another one where ppl were talking about the boy sway making cycles shorter. Any suggestions? I'm concerned my lp won't be long enough to sustain a pregnancy and I'm thinking my progesterone is low. What can I do?

[True Blue]

I wouldn't be sad if I had another daughter but I might be sad if I never had a son.

Understand this fully :)
I hope so much you get your DS.

[True Blue]

Sageviolet I don't think the boy sway does or should shorten cycles. I think maybe you should ask atomics advice.

[jmomof3girls]

Thanks true blue!
Sageviolet- I agree. I would ask atomic!

[Mamato3?]

Mama- I think you should be ok (I hope) I've heard c-sections are very painful!

It's not so much the pain, this sets in couple of days after birth when the meds wean off.
My main concern is the operation itself eventhough medically the doctors say that even 4 c-sections are safe.
I had some bleeding during my first c-section and ever since, it has been something I fear.
But my desire for my baby boy overcomes this fear and I also have some consultations to help me deal with it. Try to work on positive thinking :bluecheer:

My aunt and my friend both had 5 c-sections. I can understand the fear because it's a major surgery. Have you decided when you're going to remove the IUD? I will try to work on positive thinking.

[Mamato3?]

Oh thanks Jana, you're so thoughtfull!!
I'll work my way to book an appointment with my OB in a couple of weeks.
Atomic says it sways pink so I want to remove it at least 2 months before TTC.

[BeckMom89]

Hey Ladies,

Anyone having any symptoms dpo yet? Mine are crazy and I hope I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't know what dpo I am because I never got a +OPK but I am writing the symptoms down. I have a hunch that I ovulated either the 7th or the 8th because on the 11th I started my symptoms. On the 11th, my right leg was super achy which happened after my BFP with DD, the 12th-14th major heartburn which I never have, a little nausea here and there but not as extreme like with DD, my gums were bleeding which never happened with DD.

Right now I don't know if it's nursing school or not but I am dying to go to bed.

[Boysway]

Good luck Beck :D

[Midwest_Complex]

Jana- I feel the same! We bought a house and we close in a few weeks. I keep getting baby fever.. but idk. I just KNOW it will be another girl .and this will sound horrible, BUT I hated pregnancy & don't want to go through it again to not get my boy.. I dont want 3 kids really. I love having 2. Love being a small family. But I want a boy soo bad.

[business.woman]

Way soo early to get any symptoms
We shd just wait and see

Can we test pregnancy by opk tests?

Has anyone heard of Shatavari or know how it sways? It's used in Ayurvedic medicine, the queen of herbs for fertility.

Has anyone heard of Shatavari or know how it sways? It's used in Ayurvedic medicine, the queen of herbs for fertility.

I haven't but it looks very interesting.

[belleboi]

I feel like I'm out for this month. My cycle is just all over the place, and I'm on CD35 now with no sign of O. :(

[True Blue]

I took shatavari for months although I can't remember why, I think something to do with breastfeeding. Anyway it didn't stop me having 3 more little DD's :D

[sageviolet]

I just don't know what to do about my short cycles. I'm definitely going to take vit. C this time to help with implantation. Should I increase the amount of B6? Should I try shatavari? Should I try vitex? I just read the vitex stats and thread, and it seems to be neutral despite the pink rumors.

[True Blue]

Honestly I'd ask AS her opinion before starting any herbs, they may very well make things worse.

[sageviolet]

Can I or how do I get in touch with her? I don't have a paid membership.

I'm not sure if your following the latest, but a couple of nurses have it. Now a whole plane could have possibly been exposed to it in ohio. We don't plan to travel outside the country, but the problem is is that it seems to be in our country now :/ I just hope they get it controlled.

Jana we have 6!!!!!!

The bright side is that they are trying to contain it. So far I have read that if its caught in the early stages they can save lives and keep it quarantined. I read that the plane was taken to a remote location for testing but I could be wrong.

Oh my! 6 girls! That's awesome :happy:

[sageviolet]

Thanks for the tips. I asked her about the ayurvedic herb shatavari in the chat box and she says no, not enough research. I found a great sticky thread in the ttc girl forum on raising progesterone through diet and learned B6 can sway boy. Hooray! I've been feeling like I was cheating by taking it, so I was taking low doses from af to o, but now I'm going to go for it! Hopefully this and vitamin C will get me a bfp. If my cycle is still wacky next month, I've ordered some vitex, but I will try the increased B6 and C route this cycle.

Regarding ebola, it just shows how dangerous bad hospitals are. There were 2 or 3 hospitals that treated patients just fine. Now this one in Texas totally messed up, sent the sick guy home, exposed the workers, etc. and things are a mess. It's like anything else, there are good and bad options. I just hope the good hospitals and sensible people outweigh the bad and ignorant.

A shout out of support for you mamas with 6 and 3 and anything more than 1 girl! I love my dd and taking her to ballet class seeing all the little girls dressed up. I'm so grateful we had a girl first! I love little girls. My longing for a boy isn't because I don't like girls, it's just that I feel our lives would be more complete and balanced with a little boy. I'm guessing you all probably feel the same way, that's why we're here.

Trueblue - Six girls! Wow, Jana's right - that really is incredible. And I like what you said, sageviolet. Girls are fantastic. I adore my daughter with all of my heart.

So I'm having a weird experience... I tested today using my new WONDFO opks and I got a positive. So I used my Clearblue and got a peak, stady smiley. I'm on CD8. BUT...Apparently this might be a false positive. I keep getting positive results, but Atomic thought this might not be the real thing. Has this happened to any of you?

[jmomof3girls]

Tm29- I would make some attempts!

[yogi&booboo]

Tm what's your cm and cp looking like?

[Boysway]

Yes, I've had a couple of cycles where I got a positive and I didn't actually ovulate. It's just one of those things that happens every now and then.

[tm29]

Thanks Jana, yogi and Boysway - I really appreciate it. We BD twice yesterday just in case - you're right Jana! - but we apparently need to be careful to only BD once today because if it is a false pos and I O later this week, then we'll end up having done a compressed version of FR!

Yogi - my cm is kind of ewcm, but it's never VERY stretchy and ew-ish - there's just more or less cm/moisture if you see what I mean. I don't know about cp. Will find out what it's meant to be like and check. That's a good idea.

This has added another layer of stress! I actually felt really down yesterday after the huge relief of getting a +opk. Weird anti-climax (no pun intended). DH finds that preseed really reduces sensation so it all takes ages and is tiring and TBH the anxiety over the sway and ttc removes ALL romance/pleasure.

But of course the extra pounds and all the stress will all be so, so worth it for a bfp.

[True Blue]

Having 6 girls really is fantastic :) they are all so different and I wouldn't swap them for anything in the world.

:D

[True Blue]

tm I'm pretty sure you need to be having daily BD for at least 7 days in a row BEFORE your attemp for it to count as FR so you will be ok to attempt again if you get another +opk and still be boy friendly.

[tm29]

Thanks Trueblue. We'll def do x1 attempt today. I think Atomic was concerned if we did x3. I still feel uneasy about this though and WISH I knew for sure. I can't believe how little these opks really tell you!

Yogiandboo I have tried checking out cp and (TMI) it's very high and far back and not hard but not soft like either. I remember the posterior cervix being a thing that was mentioned when my daughter was born so I think that's normal. Ugh. Totally confused.

Will test again with wondfo now.

Tm29

Wish I knew the answer to this one. I would assume you count it the way you count days of your cycle. If you get aF at night, then you count the next day aS CD1 - at least my dr does! Hoping those are super early pg symptoms... FX for you.

My situation is SO confusing. Have learnt about cp (thanks yogiandboo!) and it's high but not soft. But every wondfo comes out positive. If the cervix is not completely soft does that mean you are not fertile?!

[Boysway]

Ovulation is generally counted as the day after you get a +OPK. By my thinking, you would be 1 dpo on Monday.

[business.woman]

Tm29
The cp thing i never got it sorry

Boysway thnx alot
So im 5dpo today! Nice
3-4 more days to test 😍

[True Blue]

Good Luck business.woman

[tm29]

3-4 more days - you must be feeling SO excited business.woman. Wow! Really good luck. Please tell us all right away!

[tm29]

If anyone has any wisdom to offer me I would be so grateful. I've tested positive using wondfo opk and clearblue (which locked onto steady smiley) for the past few days. This morning with FMU I tested negative with Clearblue. I just tested this aftrnoon with wondfo and got a positive. I have some ewcm and my cp is high, softer but not completely soft and closed. What on earth is up with me?!! Am I ovulating? Maybe I still haven't figured out how the cervix is meant to feel. Ugh. I am driving myself CRAZY.

[tm29]

PLEASE IGNORE ME!

It just occurred to me that a high, closed cervix is a sign of pg. I wondered if my aF was in fact a very heavy implantation bleed. Just took 2 tests and BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! Still absorbing this. How ridiculously lucky to get pg first try. I am completely amazed. I am now sending MASSIVE trucks of blue sparkly baby dust to all of you.

[True Blue]

Oh WOW WOW WOW tm HUUUUUGE congratulations delighted for you :)

[BeckMom89]

Yay!!!!!!!! Congratulations! !!!!!! Massive amount of blue dust for you!

[tm29]

Thank you so much Trueblue and Beckmom. I have now done x5 tests and am believing it. My implantation bleed was so heavy I thought it was AF and figured I was going to have to try again. No wonder my opk results were all over the place!

I am so happy. All I want is for all of us on this thread to feel this way, I really do.

[Midwest_Complex]

Omg! Congratulations tm29!!!! ♡♡♡♡

[yogi&booboo]

Congratulations TM!!!

[sageviolet]

Congrats, tm29!!! That's amazing! So now I want to hear more about this af/implantation. Was it lighter than usual? Was it earlier than you expected? Wow!

[business.woman]

Wooow Tm29 HUGE CONGRATS
thats great news!!!

[business.woman]

So we can use opks as pregnancy test
Great i will save my last 2 opks for testing then 😍
My opk show another line on fertile window only , or the days near
But the rest days shows stark white.

[tm29]

Thank you SO much to all of you for the congratulations. I am ridiculously happy! So nice to read your kind words.

Sageviolet - the implantation bleed was absolutely as heavy as AF. It was bright red to begin with - and then I'm not sure how it changed because I used tampax. But it was heavy enough to require tampax. It's possible I was pg with multiples and I lost one. It's possible that I'm pg with twins and therefore it was an extra heavy bleed. Who knows?! Anyway, I am evidence of the fact that you can get a BFN on CD12, then get what appears to be AF and still be pregnant. Ridiculous. I've been going crazy getting all these weird opk results! Thank goodness yogiandboo mentioned cp or I'd have been exhausting poor DH all weekend!
