October 2WW

[yogi&booboo]

Hi ladies,
Starting up the October 2ww. Good luck to everyone and I hope we see many bfps for the upcoming months!

[bluebonnet22]

Hi! I'm 9 dpo and feeling nothing so I'm guessing I'm out this month. I'm testing Wednesday, 12 dpo with a FRER. Starting to get really sick of swaying and TTC and considering quitting for awhile if this isn't our month. Hope to see lots of bfps here soon!

[yogi&booboo]

Hi Blue!
There are many women with bfps with no symptoms. I wouldn't count your self out just yet. Good Luck :) I also fed up with swaying too :( but ultimately we are better off trying a bit than look back and wished we had tried. I took a 2 month break and it helped me come back refreshed with a not to strenuous sway.

[fivebabies]

I'm with you bluebonnet! 9 dpo for me as well. Not much hope. AF is due tomorrow, usually evening. I plan on testing Wednesday also if no AF. Good luck!!

[XXforhubby]

Hi ladies!

I am either 7 or 5 days DPO. I am not temping to know for sure, since it was causing me to obsess way too much. I too am not having any symptoms- I did with my boys early.

Hoping for BFP's for all of us and loads of pink dust! I hope I have the strength to keep ttcing- the girl sway is so hard!

Hang in there fivebabies!

XX for hubby,
I stopped temping for the same reason too. Good luck gals!.

[Boysway]

Hey there ladies. I am in the 2ww yet again. +OPK yesterday. Fingers crossed our two attempts were enough. To those needing pink dust, here...have ALLLL of mine!! I am quite open to receiving any blue dust thrown my way ;)

[kitkat18]

YAH!! For attempts boysway!! Bluebonnet and five babies hope its your month so you can eat cheeseburgers!! Xxx

[bluebonnet22]

yogi & kitkat- thanks for the encouragement, still feeling negative, but hope I get a big shock on Wednesday
fivebabies - any good news today at 10 dpo?
XX - I'm not temping either. I might take it up again next month if we decide to attempt. It's hard not knowing for sure if I'm 9 or 10 dpo today.
boysway - definitely take my blue dust :) thank you for the pink!! LOL

So I tested with a wondfo today (10 dpo?) and negative. Still saving my FRER for 12 dpo (Wednesday). With DS I got a BFP on 10 dpo and then with my m/c I didn't get a BFP until 14 dpo, so part of me is scared the fact that I'm not getting a BFP at 10 dpo means either I'm not pg or I will have another m/c if I'm pregnant. I realize this is crazy and irrational. The 2WW will drive you crazy like that! I was naughty on the diet this weekend (tons of birthday parties and social engagements), but I'm back to strict LE today! I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for another month (or more) of LE but it's rough! After 6 months on the diet I'm so over it!

[XXforhubby]

Boysway- PLEASE take all of my blue dust! GL!

I hope we all get BFP's this month! I am waiting to test this Friday or Sunday, since I will either be 12 or 15 dpo. I feel pretty relaxed and good about things. We'll see! FX!

[essnce629]

Good luck ladies! Hope there's lots more BFPs rolling in soon!

[fivebabies]

10dpo today...took a cheapo test. BFN. I expected that. I have back cramping today so pretty sure I'm going to be officially out by this evening. My usual LP is 7/8 days so that is my only hope.

Who's testing next??

[Aymie]

I'm 4 DPO and already I feel like I have been waiting forever. This is our first cycle trying. DH asked me 2 days ago if I think it's a boy or girl. I was like, "What the hell? I haven't even got a positive pregnancy test! I don't wanna get my hopes up!" But he really believes he/she is in there. *sigh* I hope so too. Good luck to everyone out there. :)

[Aymie]

I am seeing a lot of you taking your tests at 10 DPO and such. Is it likely to get a result that early? I have plenty of WONDFO ones at home but I doubt they are for early testing. I may have to go splurge and get an early response one, because I can't wait to know!

[Linzshine32]

I am 7DPO today (posted on the september thread). I have sore boobs, vivid dreams... that's about it. Dying to test but its so early. I am sending you all that need it my BOY DUST in exchange for some girl power that I desperately need!! I hope i'm pg cause i'm def not wanting to continue this diet. I just want a big plate of chocolate chip cookies with 4 glasses of milk. haha

[yogi&booboo]

Linzshine,
Sounds like my same exact symptoms that let to my recent bfp. Good luck, you have a great chance for a bfp. :) p.s. i saw my bfp at 9 dpo.

[bluebonnet22]

Aymie - it's possible to get a positive on a wondfo at 10 dpo (but odds are VERY low, under 10%). Odds are better with a FRER, but then they are so expensive comparatively! For my m/c cycle, I got a positive on a wondfo earlier (13 dpo) than FRER (14 dpo). I wouldn't waste a FRER at 10 dpo. I'm starting with FRER on 12 dpo personally.

[Nahri]

Im crossing into Oct as part of my 2WW and if we get to attempt again right away should this one not take and because I had to have a colposcopy today, my second 2WW will end on Halloween... Oh joy LOL two 2ww in one month!

[Boysway]

Good luck Nahri. I'm also in my second 2ww for September. Last cycle I O on September 1st. This cycle was likely the 29th.

[bluebonnet22]

Nahri - I will have 2 in October as well.. YAY.. AF is due Halloween next cycle (due 10/3 this cycle). Hopefully we are both pg right now so it's irrelevant :)

Still no symptoms. Definitely expecting a BFN on FRER tomorrow. Still haven't lost all 5 lbs of weight from my loss pregnancy. I guess if I have to do this another month I can really buckle down and focus on losing those last 2-3 lbs? Trying to see the silver lining, but it's hard ladies!

[tarasue]

Care if I join??? Today is cd1 for me. This is our first month ttc a girl and my 1st month off bcp:).

I have been diligent about the exercising(that's not the hard part for me). Also been good at keeping my cal, protein and fat # in the right range. Having a hard time with not snacking on my little ones Cheerios (and fruit loops...) I can get to about noon before I eat for the day, but after that I feel like I have 4 small meals (350 calories at 12, 3:30, 6:30 then 9). I am going to work on having two larger meals a day instead of the 4 small for this next month.

Fingers crossed we catch our first egg, but I know everyone wants that :) We got pregnant with both our boys on our first try's, but age is starting to work against me...

Fx for July babies!!!!!

[yogi&booboo]

Welcome and Good Luck tarasue! Sending you all of my pink dust :)

[CattyPad]

Hi, I'll join in!
We had our attempt TTC pink on the 23rd sept when we got a pos opk, so I guess I am 8dpo.

Have you girls ever felt any symptoms so early? (I am new to this! Las time we weren't TTC and didn't realise I was pregnant until I was 7 weeks gone!).

I had some dizzy spells for a couple of days last week, and then sore boobs for the last 5 days or so, but surely it's wishful thinking?!

Good luck everyone!

[Rosie85]

Hey ladies. I am 8 dpo today. Started cramping pretty bad yesterday and tingling nipples as well as some nausea. Good signs for a future bfp for me. I am not religious but I have been praying to the universe like crazy for a sticky bean. I hope they are answered.

[Linzshine32]

Good luck Rosie! I'm 9dpo today!

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck Rosie,
Those are great symptoms. I am very certain you will say bfp in a day or too. Praying for you amd keeping everything crossed for you.

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck Linzshine!
I hope we hear bfp from you soon.!

[yogi&booboo]

CD5 for me. Only 9 days to go for our next attempt.

[bluebonnet22]

LoveSunshine - definitely possible to have symptoms at 8 dpo. I never do, but seems like many ladies do! Hope your symptoms mean something!
Rosie - how exciting!! I will pray for you as well that you have a sticky (pink?) bean . Definitely sounds like you are pg again!

[Christi]

Hey, I'm jumping over here from the September 2WW... I tested this morning at 10dpo and it looked negative with a little bit of a very, very, very faint line, but since no one else was in the house to verify it, I may have been making the whol thing up in my head. I'll check again tomorrow morning.... but the very interesting thing was that I had colustrum in both boobs this morning which is DEFINITELY not usual for me.... fingers crossed that I will finally get a BFP!! And hopefully the colostrum means that I will not have as many supply issues as I had with DS#1....

[purplepoet20]

I thought I would join the 2ww a little early. I am only on cd10 but I am starting to have aches, last time they lasted a few days before I O'd. I am going to the Dr in a few hours to see how close I am.

AF is due on DS3's 2nd birthday! At least I can test before that weekend because I will be to busy the entire time. If I get a BFP I can pretend my excitement is for my son since I do not want to announce something about myself on my sons special day.

[XXforhubby]

I too keep popping over from the September thread 😀

Keeping you in my prayers Rosie!

I hope we all get our BFP's soon! I too have symptoms- intermittent nausea, sore nipples, and I am thirsty all the time. We'll see. I will test this weekend. I just fear AF is going to come. I was sick before and after pos. opk. so I am wondering if that has messed up my cycle. Trying to keep my hopes up.

Keeping FX for all of us!

[TigerLily12]

I'm going to join early, today is cd 6 for me! OH convinced me there's no need to sway for our first, so officially I'm team green. No swaying. Just ttc. (FX for a little girl though) hope I can still gather with you ladies even though I'm not taking on the challenge of swaying.

We've been attempting like crazy and it's not even O time. We really want to catch this egg! Last month we missed it somehow even though we BD numerous days. I've been a lot more relaxed this time than I was last cycle. Less nervous I suppose. DTD is feeling a lot more intimate now that we're ttc so that's nice.


GL to all you ladies testing soon! September was disappointing, I want to see some BFP's :HH:

[Linzshine32]

Tested tonight at 9dpo. BFN. Ugh.

[yogi&booboo]

Woo hoo Tigerlily, we are at around the same cd. I am CD6 not too far from you. Good luck and hope you get your pink bfp :)

[Rosie85]

Bummer linz! Hopefully you see a bfp in two days!

[justalittlepink]

Going to join in too, I'm post ovulation day 6, I have those cheap Wondfo tests, so I've been taking them every day, knowing it won't show up yet, but just in case :) TMI alert but tons of gas here, and I had some pelvic cramping today. I feel like I am pregnant, but almost don't want to jinx it by thinking that, you know? This 2ww makes me nuts!

[Nahri]

dont get disappointed by the wondfo strips all you early testers using them they are crap for early detection. Heck im one of the ones that even the FRER's didnt catch on until after a missed AF! We all go crazy during the 2WW hopefully we all get good news soon!

[yogi&booboo]

Nahri I agree and I am bad for just buying a 75 pack 😂😭 I got really good results with the first choice dollar store tests 😆

[Boysway]

I finally got my FF crosshairs and ovulated exactly when I thought I did. I will be testing mid October. In saying that, last cycle I O on CD 16 as well and LP was 12 days, not 14. So, I could test in just over a week.

[Christi]

Sorry to hear Linz, but it is still early, and I think you have to test with first morning urine when testing this early. Fingers crossed that BFP pops up soon for you!

Good luck to everyone else who is still waiting to test!

[Christi]

Okay, so my DH and my mom confirmed that I am not crazy, I got a very, very, very faint BFP this morning on a FRER and a very faint positive on an internet cheapie tonight. Finally, a BFP!! This was our 3rd month trying, so I am very happy to see anything that looks promising. I'm glad we dropped the repHresh/sylk this month, because it seems like that was definitely what was keeping us from getting preggo. Let's hope it sticks! Bring on the cheeseburgers!!

[Boysway]

Wonderful news :D Congratulations. Wishing you sticky thoughts :)

[kitkat18]

Yah!!! Christi!! Enjoy every bite xxx

[weeziewoozles]

Ha ha. Five pages in and I finally spot the October thread! Fingers crossed ladies. I've not tested for about a fortnight now. I kinda don't want to as I'm convinced it'll be negative again.

[bluebonnet22]

Huge congrats Christi!!!! Definitely enjoy the cheeseburger!!!!!!!!

I'm 12-13 dpo here (AF is due tomorrow). After the negative on FRER yesterday and zero symptoms I really don't even want to test today. I will test again tomorrow if I still don't feel AF symptoms. I woke up yesterday with a massive sore throat (and it's worse today). Swaying has made me a crazy person - I don't mind being sick (because it helps the sway), but I'm so pissed I've caught this cold in the wrong time in my cycle to help much.. LOL. I'm more annoyed I've had to take 2 days off exercise because I just don't feel up to going (as much as I'd like to).

[Linzshine32]

I'm so upset. I think I'm out. Started spotting red last night around 9pm at 9dpo and this morning it's heavier and darker red spotting at 10dpo. I'm cd 25 now and NEVER GET af this early so I'm def confused but I don't think this is implantation bleeding as it's not pink it's red. Ugh. I really really thought I was pregs!

[Rosie85]

Congrats christi!!!

[Nahri]

OMG this is NOT fair. What does a WHITE line on a FRER mean? The control line is the color its supposed to be but the line for a positive test is white. I mean I can very obviously see it its not my silly head playing tricks. Can't say I've seen it before. I will obviously retest tomorrow but any clues?

[XXforhubby]

Congrats Christi!

Bluebonnet- I am with you waiting to test. AF is late today, but I am waiting until Saturday to test. AF is notorious for showing up late for me when I don't want her to!

Linz- I am so sorry! Why does AF have to mess with us? FX that it is implantation bleeding!

Nahri- I think you got an error message. I think the test was faulty. Good luck testing tomorrow!

Hope to see more BFP's!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Rosie85]

I tested today with a frer. BFN I think....I thought I could almost see something but I think I just wanted it to be there, haha. I will wait two days to test again so I will be 11dpo.

Why oh why can't we just have patience and wait?!!! It would save a lot of stress.

[weeziewoozles]

Aw, Rosie. Sorry. I seem to be good at the waiting to test thing. I am soooooo tired of the LE that I kinda don't want to even hope by testing! I looked up on my calendar today and I last tested on 22/9 so I will test again next week I think. I've been watching my CM and CP a bit and haven't noticed anything interesting yet really.

[yogi&booboo]

Congratulations Christi!! I hope this is your sticky bean. Keeping my fingers crossed that you get a strong Positive! Fx to you.

Blue I think there is a bug going on. I hope you feel better soon. I know these darn colds can throw you off completely and suck all of your energy. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Nahri,
Try taking another test. I could be a faulty frer. The does not sound normal to me. You should try doing another one if possible from a new box and using fmu. Good Luck, I think it is a good sign though.

[yogi&booboo]

Hang in there Rosie,
I still have high hopes for you :):running:

[Christi]

Thanks everyone, I am over the moon happy right now!

Linz, I am so sorry, that really sucks! How many months is this for you?

Nahri, I agree, that seems like a defective test. I don't even understand how it could be white? Wouldn't that just blend into the background which is white anyway? I guess I don't even really understand what you mean by a "white" line.

XX, I know you were on a pretty close cycle as me, so I am eagerly awaiting to hear your results!

Bluebonnet, I am sorry you are sick and hopefully you will feel better soon. That was me last cycle, it was past O, so I wasn't sure if I was preggo, so I didn't want to take anything that would make me feel better, and then in the end, I wasn't preggo. It was frustrating. I think you are right to wait another day before testing again, but for what it is worth, my barely positive on FRER at 11dpo took like 30 minutes to appear, so don't lose faith until AF shows up.

FX for lots more BFP this month!!

[TigerLily12]

Conrats Christi!! That's great news! :)

GL to bluebonnet and XX while you test!

Hang in there weezie, one day that negative will be a positive :)

Rosie- maybe it's too early, you're still in until AF shows!

Linz- I'm sorry she came so early, but at least instead of waiting for AF and taking a bunch of tests you're closer to getting to make more attempts in a new cycle now. :)

Yogi- Yay! Cycle buddies :) so far it's been boring. Cd 7, nothing too exciting going on, you?

[essnce629]

Yeah Christi, congrats!

Rosie-- fingers crossed for you! You should for sure get a BFP on a FRER at 11dpo. My line was nice and dark then. I'll be checking for your result.

Good luck to everyone else waiting to test and those waiting to O.

[yogi&booboo]

Lol TigerLily,
Nothing special here. Just finishing up my AF which there hardly any of it left. Somewhat crampy just because I added B12, baby aspirin and lots of green tea. I hope this dreadful week flies. I can't wait to get these attempts in and be done. My anxiety is through the roof lol. Woo Hoo so excited to have a buddy. We can panic together lol

[Nahri]

Christi- This is not my test because I have been gone all day and that test now reads a faint pos. (PLEASE LET IT BE SO) This is an image I found from another board and this is exactly what mine looked like a perfect white line (9 hours of stored up fmu) but the pee turned the rest of the strip colors. It showed up almost immedately. I have purchased a new box of FRER I have the Clear Blue digitals on standby for the day I need to confirm a pos result. A lot of people say they got their BFP just days after the white line but some also got a BFN.. Lots of cases of this in many other forums. SO I guess it could go either way21274

[Rosie85]

Id bet it will be a bfp nahri!


I am practically having a panic attack ladies. I am so stressed. Im terrified of being pregnant because I feel like its pointless and will end in miscarriage and I am terrified of not being pregnany because I don't want to wait. Ive always gotten pregnant first try every time so if I dont im scared it means something is wrong with me. Feel like either way is a lose. Ive never had anxiety over this sort of thing. I know the stress is bad for baby if I am pregnant but I just cant help it. Ack. Thanks for letting me vent.

[Christi]

I bet that is going to be a positive nahri... Fx for you!!

Rosie, I am so sorry you have been through so much and sympathize with the anxiety you are feeling now after back to back losses. I wish there was something any of us could say to make you feel better, but my guess is that there are some things that words just can't express. I know someone who had two losses who has gone onto have one healthy pregnancy and is about 16 weeks into her second with no issues. She had fibroids and had to have them removed before she was able to get preggo, so I hope you are working with your doctor to make sure something like that isn't messing with your ability to carry a baby. Hang in there....

As for me, I have thoroughly enjoyed my first day of being pregnant and indulging on lots of non-le diet foods. For lunch I had a Kobe beef burger covered in lobster, truffle ailoi, Brie and bacon.... It was amazing... I could only eat half of it because it was so over the top rich, but omg, it was amazing!

Had a friend just come back from cancer, reverse tubal ligation, almost gave up trying and BAM rainbow baby when they least expected it. I second the working with the doctor if you think you are having fertility issues. My DS was a one shot oopsy and now here I am 2 years later on cycle 5 of trying and so far I got a CP to "show" for it. Sending positive vibes your way and hope you get a BFP that sticks soon!

[yogi&booboo]

This is awesome! I think we are going to see many bfps to come. Yey how exciting!

[XXforhubby]

Well ladies, tonight marks CD1 for me. I am having a hard time. 😢

Moving on to cycle #4. Hopefully 4 is still my lucky number. GL to those waiting to test!

You will be in the October thread in just two week. Good luck and I hope you get your bfp soon :)

[Rosie85]

Sorry xx �� Fingers crossed cycle 4 is it for you!

[weeziewoozles]

Rosie, what you're feeling is both natural and logical! I guess just try to accept that's how you're feeling and trust in life. Remember that the LE affects your chemistry hugely, that's why we're doing it after all, but it is therefore going to also affect your fertility. Good luck. Keep your chin up x

[Boysway]

Sorry to hear that xx. Bring on lucky cycle number #4.

Rosie. I can understand your fear and anxiety. I had a m/c between DD#1 and DD#2, when DD#1 was 3 months old. I was so terrified it was going to happen again when I did fall pregnant again, I didn't have it confirmed at the doctors till I was about 15 weeks along :( Huge :hugs:

Afm, 4 dpo. We're going away for the weekend with Miss 4, my eldest two are staying with their father for the school holidays. It should be a good weekend away. A long drive though, nearly four hours away. It will be nice to have a break from work. It will also bee good to give my 4wd a good run as it hasn't been for a long drive yet.

[Nahri]

Ive resorted to negative imaging on my peesticks to look for the glow.. This white line nonsense really got to me. It does glow but cant consider it valid because it was too long after.

[Linzshine32]

I'm out officially. See you in 2 weeks! Good news is Chinese calendar says girl for oct for me and I will be able to test before Halloween!

[fivebabies]

So sorry to hear it xxforhubby! I can relate...I'm heading into cycle EIGHT of ttc. It sucks. I have 5 kids and they were all one cycle of ttc except the last one was 2 cycles. So I'm going nuts. Starting to wonder if there is something wrong with me.....

[Christi]

So sorry to hear XX and Linz....:sad:

I want to put this question out to anyone who has been "swaying" for more than one cycle, are you doing anything differently from cycle to cycle? For me, I did the most ridiculously aggressive sway for our first cycle, BFN. The next cycle I backed off on the use of repHresh and Sylk (i.e. I used less), but still BFN. The third cycle, I dropped them entirely, and BFP. Yay! Is this what others are doing (not necessarily specifically repHresh/sylk, but the strategy of dropping things). Just curious about what others are doing....

Nahri, I'd be a bit crazy too. Did you get a second "white" result?

Fivebabies, I don't think there is anything is wrong with you. If you are swaying for a girl (which is my assumption), you are doing lots to try to reduce your chances of conception. You probably just have one or two things that are just a little too much. I don't know what your swaying tactics are, but I couldn't get pregnant with the use of any jellies. Atomic was the same way, which is why she advised me to drop it. If you are using those, i would consider dropping them.

In 2011 I tried for 11 cycles... Diet for mths before that. I tried crazy stuff for the first few mths and then changed a few things here and there. The only things I didn't mess with was some of the pills and supps. I did get sad after every bfn because I had signs of being prego but I think stopping the cranberry pills at O may have messed up something and caused the egg to not stay attached. When I finally got prego it was after giving up everything and enjoying the typical Christmas feast. I had planned to give up and sell all baby stuff and then DH decided he didn't want to stop so we pretty much did a half ass try with a few supps we had left and added soy and got preg right away with DS3.

[fivebabies]

I'm actually not swaying at all. :worry: I don't care what gender comes next. The only thing that I could even consider a sway technique is FR...we dtd a LOT! lol

[TigerLily12]

Fivebabies I'm with you! I'm not swaying just FX for my BFP. I want a baby now!!! :baby2:

Purplepoet what days did you take soy and how much did you take? how many cycles did you try it?

XX and Linz hang in there girls! I think towards the end of October we're all going to see a lot of BFP's :)

I have such a good feeling about this month. I'm very relaxed and just excited, I'm looking forward to Halloween as well.

Yogi today's cd 8... we BD early this morning. I also take baby aspirin, not b6 though. What is the green tea and b6 supposed to help with?

[weeziewoozles]

Realised this morning that my BMI has got down to 18 now so had a couple of DH's chocolate cookies after my veggie stir fry tonight! :) Still no PG or O symptoms for me so I've not bothered testing. Maybe next week if still no AF.

[XXforhubby]

Thanks ladies! I am doing better now, mentally. The diet, I am on the PCOS version, has really changed my cycle drastically. I am still nursing my 16mo old 4-6x a day still. At first we did no supp., then cycle 2 we did Vitex AF-O. That messed me up! Last cycle, 3, I got very sick before and after o. I think that dropped my condition too low. Besides fiber and folic acid, I take myo-inositol and a choline supp. I have to take these even when not swaying for other health reasons.

For cycle 4, we are dropping the Sylk, even though we only use a little for lube. Last time we did bd every four days instead of at pos. opk, but our attempt ended up the night before my pos. opk. I think that timing along with being sick caused a BFN.

We are still going to do bd every 4 days and see if that works again. 4 is my lucky number, so hopefully it won't fail me now! 😃

[Boysway]

Myself, dh and Miss 4 are 3 1/2 hours drive away from home. Having a weekend away for a country town festival. It's good to get away. Had a tough time with clients at work (I work in disabilities). I work two jobs. One client passed away for one job and two passed away from the other job.

[weeziewoozles]

It's funny how some days you can just do LE with your eyes shut so to speak, and other days you're thinking of food ALL DAY! We have friends over this weekend and shared pizzas and salad for lunch. My plan was to have two small slices, which I did, but then there were three small pieces leftover at the end. So while tidying up the kitchen and stacking the dishwasher I unconsciously (well mostly) ate them! Luckily I've looked it up and as a thin margherita it will only have been about 600 cals but a bit high in protein and fat! Ooops. Dinner tonight is veggie fajitas, so I should be able to stick to my dailies if I avoid the guac! Fingers crossed I don't gorge!

[XXforhubby]

Remember that one day, or a few days, in one month do not affect your overall sway! You will be fine! I have to remember this too after o, I get so hungry from higher progesterone!

I know you're right. Last time I swayed I let my rules down a little at AF. This time as I've no idea where I am in my cycle or even if I am having cycles yet! So I am trying hard to stick to LE every single day! Especially the skipping breakfast and not snacking bit, just in case it's implantation time! Just a little frustrated as I didn't really choose to have a yummy treat and enjoy it (like I did with biscuits the other day), I just ate the pizza without really thinking. Hey ho.

Thinking about you all lots!

[CattyPad]

Well, I have been feeling funny since dpo 3, with dizzy spells and some ickiness, and some indigestion too. Surely that's too early to be a sign right?!

Plus I have even feeling cramps since yesterday (cd27) and AF is usually cd31/33... So I have a feeling I will be out! :(

Wiziewozzle, I have been guilty with the pizza this week....twice! :-o

[yogi&booboo]

Has anyone used fertile focus as a assistant to ovulation? I gave up on it the second month I used it. I only got a kick out of it when (sorry tmi) i put some swimmers on it to see what it looked like. Creepy but cool looking.

[Nahri]

Ive got one yogi and I love it just because I like to geek out about sciencey stuff :) It does help but its not as pinpoint as charting and temping. Glad I am not the only one who did that either... HAHAHA

[Nahri]

AF was scheduled for today (Saturday) but nothing yet and no BFP yet. I think that colposcopy screwed up my cycle... guess I will know in a few days if its just a tad late from everything going on!

[Christi]

Mmmm... Pizza! I wouldn't beat yourselves up too much ladies, as atomic says, some cheats here and there are fine.

Nahri, keeping my fingers crossed for you that af doesn't show up.

Love sunshine, I wouldn't think too much about symptoms as you can make yourself crazy. I know I have in the past. Good luck on a bfp this month!

Oh, and as to the fertile focus..... ??? I have no idea what you are talking about!

Nahri,
I've done it twice. I recorded the first one lol.

Good luck and I hope you still get your bfp.

[yogi&booboo]

Christi,
Fertile Focus is an aid to help let you know when you are approaching ovulation. Its a microscope where you put saliva and as you progress during your cycle you will see crystallization which means you are approaching ovulation. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/04/128790f2271f9d8758f87ece31526d73.jpg

Hey lovelies!! Just chiming in to say congrats Christi and sorry anyone moving onto next month. HEAPS of us took a while to conceive when I was TTC, some bang first time others got BFP after 4,5,6 cycles.I deft. dropped stuff as I went along especially what atomic refers to as background noise like zyrtec, jump and dump, peppermint tea etc. don't give up hope it will happen and you will see two line! In the meantime have a large drink and food of choice!! Good luck all XX

I think a scheduled cheat day/meal is almost in order at some point. We stress and obsess about that one extra gram of protein we ate and we all know what stress does to our reproductive system! lol

[weeziewoozles]

I agree. I like to choose to have a cheeky day though, so I can look forward to it and enjoy doing it, rather than eat too much by mistake! I enjoyed my veg fajitas and wine with our friends last night but also had a little apple strudel and custard. Yum! Today we took them out for lunch before they caught a train home. I had a veggie burger in a bun with no mayo and a small portion of fries. Also had a spoonful of DH's icecream! Yummy. So tonight I'm back on the LE wagon. Planning on finishing the last two Weight Watcher's wraps with some veg and salad. I'll let DH finish the strudel and custard!

I've been staring at the one FRER I have in the drawer, wondering when to bother using it. But decided yesterday to order some more internet cheapies as I think I want to test again soon. I had high hopes for September so my October hopes aren't great now :( I'm not usually pessimistic but we don't want to conceive in November again (DS2 and DS3 are mid August birthday - two days apart) so if we miss out on a BFP in October, we'll have to skip a month. It'll be hard to do LE then.

[XXforhubby]

I agree scheduling cheat meals. I had a three cheat meals this cycle, so now I am tightening up!!

I am having a hard time. I am disappointed that I didn't get a BFP this cycle. If October is not my month, I too will have to decide if we are skipping November, since DS1 was conceived then.

I am stressed, tired, and not very hopeful for this cycle. DS2 is sick again, and I am coming down with it too. I was sick this time last cycle, and BFN.

On the bright side, I don't eat much when I am sick and tend to lose weight! I am also looking forward to Halloween, since DS2 can enjoy it now that he is older.

Thanks for listening!

[kitkat18]

XXforhubby don't skip a month because your son was conceived that month , if its because you don't want lots.birthdays etc in one month than by all means skip away! I just think it barely sways and you don't really want to be on LE for any longer than you have too! Just my advice take it with a grain of salt X

[essnce629]

After 7 months on the diet and having skipped 3 months for different reasons (didn't want Christmas/New Years baby, etc) I'd say DON'T skip! I really wanted to get pregnant back in May or June so that I'd go through the horrible morning sickness stage when the kids were out of school and I didn't have to get up super early, drive carpool, etc. It didn't happen though and my best friend (who swayed with me) said I probably wouldn't get pregnant till September, which is when I got pregnant with DS2. She said my body probably just likes getting pregnant then (fall/winter). She was right, and here I am with pretty much the exact same due date that I had with DS2 (May 29th this time, May 31st last time)! I give birth in my 38th week so looks like I'll be birthing right on DS2's birthday! Definitely NOT what I wanted but oh well!

[Boysway]

At times I have thought about skipping a month due to some ttc issues out of my control and waiting for meds to work. So glad I didn't though. We officially started ttc April of this year and I am still waiting on a bfp 6 months down the track :(

[kaseybaby]

I am joining you ladies today! Just had my IUI this morning. Good luck everyone!

[Nahri]

Well I think I am hosed this cycle. AF still has yet to arrive and im getting BFN's but I think I have the colposcopy to thank for the screwed up cycle.... Wonder how long its going to keep me out for.

[Mamato3?]

I hope your results come up negative Nahri!!

[sageviolet]

Congrats to Christi, you give me hope! And big hugs to all those out this month. I especially sympathize with those who got preg easy before and it's taking more trys now. That's my case, too. My temp didn't have a clear rise this month. I want to blame it on our cold bedroom. It was so cold, it was waking me up. I've added extra blankets to the bed and my temp went up some. I don't know. I felt so preggo in the 2ww last month and this time I wonder if I Oed properly.

[Rosie85]

Well after being able to get pregnant on the first try for 5 pregnancies I am now unable to stay pregnant at all. I feel so upset and just plain sad. I'm gonna make a call and get some testing done before trying again. This whole mess is ruining my family dynamic. I never ever thought I would have fertility issues and well I guess karma is a bitch because here I am being punished for wanting a daughter.

Good luck to everyone else.

[yogi&booboo]

Rosie :(
I am so sorry you feel this way. Please do not beat yourself over it. That is a dream of yours and I think you shouldnt give up if you really want it. I hope you get answers and hopefully they can fix what ever may be going on. I send you many virtual hugs 😙💖

[bluebonnet22]

Rosie - please don't beat yourself up! Wanting a daughter is normal and doesn't cause bad karma, promise! I often blame the sway for my m/c as well, but I'm nearly certain it was random luck and wasn't caused by my sway.

So to update everyone else.... Today is CD1 for me. I'm taking it really well, actually. I was nervous about getting pg right after my m/c anyways so maybe it's meant to be. I ovulated 4 full days after my first positive OPK so our timing was screwed up. I think we DTD O-4 and on ovulation day. Not great odds for conception.

It looks like many of us might be taking a break in November for various reasons. I'm nearly certain we will take November and December off because we need a mental break from TTC and really really prefer to avoid August/September due dates. Also we have 2 big vacations planned and would prefer not to be pg for them.

Since this is my last month TTC for awhile, I'm really going to give it my all. I will likely do every 4 days PLUS an attempt at positive OPK. I said I was going to do that last month but I chickened out and I'm not pregnant so maybe it's time to listen to my gut and up my odds of conception a little bit. I'm trying to be very strict on the diet and exercise this month since really that's all that's left of my weakened sway!

Thanks for listening to my essay and congrats on all the BFPs. Hope the rest of us can join you soon :)

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck Blue,
I hope that all of your hard work of swaying pays off. You are still with us in the October thread so I hope you get your bfp.

[XXforhubby]

Welcome SageViolet! I too got pregnant easily with both of my boys, and I am now on cycle #4. I feel good about this month! DH and I decided we would keep on trying, for at least a full year. Hopefully it won't take that long!

Rosie- please do not be hard on yourself! You have not caused any of this. You most certainly deserve a DD, and I promise that karma has nothing to do with it! For someone who has so much courage to keep trying, I know it will happen. Please do not stop believing in yourself- your dream WILL come true!

Bluebonnet- I had poor timing too last month on top of being sick! Well I am sick AGAIN, and I too will be doing BD every 4 days and at pos. opk. FX for both of us!!

Come on October BFP's- we need more!!

[Rosie85]

Thanks ladies. Its just so hard not to blame my sway and desires since I ahd zero issues until I started messing with things. I regret swaying at all and I just want my fourth son. If it ain't broke don't fix it...I should have had that mentality. I am likely taking a break for 4 to 6 months. Hubby is begging me not to but I feel like the timing is off for me to have a baby july through december. We shall see.

I hope everyone here sees their bfps and dream genders very soon! Thank you for all the kind words and support!!

[Boysway]

Huge hugs Rosie. Please don't blame yourself. Sending you love and strength.

[Nahri]

Im seeing things.... I thought I was down and out because yet another negative test yesterday, but I tested this morning with a wondfo strip and used an OPK as backup as well since they sometimes show positive. There is a light but visible line on the HCG strip and no not one of those break out the magnifying glass, stand on the toilet so you are closer to the light kinda faint lines. So maybe there was success this time? Im not celebrating FULLY till doc confirms just because of this whole messed up colposcopy business and it always takes extra time for a BFP to show for me. I just told hubby he could eat meat again I don't know which hes happier about HAHA

Colposcopy was neg btw so that was a huge load off my mind.

[yogi&booboo]

Woo hoo Nahri,
A faint hardly visible line is better than nothing. I hope this is your bfp! Good Luck :)

[Linzshine32]

Yay Nahri!

So sorry Rosie :(

I am cd5 - ugh - My original period was due today. I am tempted to test today just because what if that was a totally weird period? But I really doubt i'm pregnant and it def ended up being a period by Friday. I really hope this is my month (even though it's only our second month trying) just because I am SO SICK of this diet and I want to eat lots of Halloween candy!!! Good luck to everyone else this month!

[Boysway]

Nahri, that sounds great :) Do you have a pic?

I am CD5 too! I hope we all get our BFP's so we can pig out on Halloween candy...and everything else we haven't been able to eat in AGES!

Congrats Nahri! Hopefully this is a start to great October of BFP's.

[kaseybaby]

My DD was born very ill, and almost died, and I said the same thing, it was karma for wanting a DD. But you know what? It isn't true. Having a desire for a gender isn't a 'bad' thing that deserve karma coming to bite you. It isn't like you are not caring and loving to your sons because they aren't girls. Hugs to you mama

[essnce629]

Congrats Nahri! That's definitely a positive!

And Rosie-- please don't give up. Did you have a BFP this cycle or did AF just show up? I definitely don't think you are being punished for wanting a DD. Did Atomic suggest that you start taking zinc and iron after being on the diet so long and your losses? She did for me and I know I read that iron helps increase egg quality. Is your DH taking OLE too? I think your DD is waiting for you still. (((HUGS)))

[Christi]

Yay Nahri!!!! That is definitely a positive! My EDD is June 14th, so we will be at almost the exact same spot the entire pregnancy. Yay!

Rosie, I am so sorry to hear you are so stressed about the miscarriages. I don't think it is karma for wanting a girl, but it is clearly very troubling to you (understandably). I don't know what your situation is, but I hope that you have someone that you can talk to to try to work through some of the stress and anxiety you are feeling. Perhaps if you can talk through some of it, perhaps you can learn to believe everything everyone else is telling you. Or at least grieve the loss and be able to move forward in a way that works for you.

As for those who are considering skipping a month, I think it is a very personal decision. I think it comes down to whether you think you would be secretly hoping for a BFN that month. If you would be, then skipping it is fine. But if you think you would be happy with a BFP even if it meant the due date was not at the ideal time, then skipping that month is probably not right for you.

Good luck to everyone!!! Hoping to see lots more BFPs this month!

[Nahri]

I skipped a month just to get back on track with my diet. I was very strict except for my 2 cheat meals a month but we got over run with family gatherings/dinners I would just say oh I am on a diet which kept most food from getting crammed down my throat but not all. Sometimes a month off just really helps to reset your stress level as well. No pee sticks, no possibility of disappointment, and if you or DH is worn out then no BD to worry about either. Do something nice for yourself and just relax for a month and pick it back up again later!

[kitkat18]

Yah!!! Nahri!!!
Rosie honey you have been through ALOT seriously. No one should have to go through back to back miscarriages. Big hugs to you and im sure your little lady is waiting for you! Xxx
Go bluebonnet as you know I did every four days plus one attempt I was really nervous about it but just decided being pregnant meant more than my 5% increase of 'getting a girl' , so glad I did it I also conceived after a 2 month sway break deft think that helped. I would not recommend taking months off generally ( my DH had a burst appendix) but it did me mentally a world of good not to be so obsessively thinking about ttc/2 ww etc good luck ladies more BFPs for October please!

Trying hard not to get my hopes up as sore bbs is often an af symptom for me from about 6/7 dpo. However, my bbs are sooo sore. Fingers crossed it will lead to good news. Only just 9 dpo (it's just past 12am here). I'm torn as to when I should test. I O on CD 16 this cycle and anytime I O on CD 16, my LP is always 12 days. Argh! I don't know. I ordered tests from EBay. I deliberately ordered tests that will take a while to get them.

[purplepoet20]

Tigerlily
I can not remember off the top of my head but I did post a sway sometime in Jan-Mar 2012 and everything is in there.

[purplepoet20]

kasey - With DS2 I had a lot of very bad thoughts and wishes when I found out he was a boy. But when he was born with a large skin growth on his ear I was so afraid of what caused that. The Dr said he could have a problem with his kidneys or hearing and ran a bunch of test for the last 4 years. He is healthy except for a few allergies. But I feel that because I prayed for God to take him back so I could have a girl, God gave him something to scare me into loving him. I do love him so much now and he has always been a mamas boy. I wouldn't trade him for a girl ever! We did have the ear tag removed because a few kids called him Shrek and I flipped out and kept him inside until it was removed.


Nahri - Congrats that looks like a BFP.

[purplepoet20]

So I O'd yesterday... DH knew something was up because I was super crabby and super tired all day. CD16 today. I may start to test in 5-7days. With DS3 I started to see a faint line early and he was a twin. I don't want twins but I would like to know if an early BFP is normal for me or maybe means twins.

I did take clomid... 25mg from cd3-9 and then 50 cd10. We had family show up for the weekend and I didn't want anyone seeing the pills. They know we want more kids but we don't like to talk about it everyone.

I hate all the waiting in pregnancy... wait to get preg, wait to get bfp, wait for gender, wait for baby. I am so glad this will be my last.

[XXforhubby]

I agree with disliking all the waiting! For some reason it is bothering me- I am having trouble staying positive. I NEVER struggled to get pregnant with my boys! I like to think the diet is working, but I always second guess myself. Did I have too many cheat meals (I can't do cheat days- I would never recover!) Did I eat too many of the wrong foods? Is the PCOS diet too healthy for me? Ugh! I just want to forget about all this and get my BFP! Knowing my luck, I will still be ttcing by Christmas! It has already been four months!

[purplepoet20]

I got DS3 right after Christmas... All the good Christmas foods!


I even think about that stuff now because I know I have had a few cheats like 6 chicken wings on sunday right before I owed. but I then I add up my weekly calories and realize there was plenty of room.

I could practically have written your post :) I'm a really bouncy positive person who's stuck to LE amazingly well (better than last time) the whole way through with hardly a cheat meal (just some creative accounting). BUT as I've still not had AF since stopping BF in July (yeah I know, three months!!!) I keep thinking that the diet has changed my chemistry too much! I conceived my three boys at the first attempt (more or less) and we've now been DTD every four days for over two months now. So I feel confused. Part of me is glad I'm less fertile by not conceiving yet, but the other part of me is just desperate to get PG now. Argh! I absolutely LOVE this site. I love the way we can vent and rant and worry and everyone supports us.

Anyhoo, I've been so proud of how well I've stuck to LE. The only cheats I've had have been very minor and mostly just over in cals rather than protein or fat. I really, truly feel I have done the best sway I could possibly do. I've eaten so differently to my normal diet and quite differently to my last sway. Now I just want a BFP so I can get on with eating whatever I fancy! Argh. Tonight DH is away for a few days, so I had a garlic and mushroom crepe (ready meal so nice and processed, unlike anything I'd normally eat) and reduced fat oven chips, with white wine. Pretty LE meal I think. But we've all got colds in our family atm and that makes me hungry. I hope I'm hungry cos I'm ovulating too but I've been monitoring my CP and CM for a while now and haven't seen anything of note. I just want either a BFP or at least evidence that I am ovulating again!!! Thanks ladies xxx

I'm currently on CD26 which puts me at 9DPO. I took clomid CD5-9 and ovulated CD17. At 3DPO I started having a super heavy strange feeling in my uterus, and at around 5-6DPO I started with light nausea which has gotten much worse. I know lots of people have false pregnancy symptoms with Clomid but I had nothing when I used it and got pregnant with my son. My OB ordered a HCG Quant and a progesterone which they drew today and I got a call this afternoon that the quant was negative (0). I know it can be too early but I had hoped it'd show even a tiny bitty amount. Last night the nausea woke me out of a dead sleep and I had dreams of seeing two lines all night. I think I'm losing my mind! LOL Gonna keep using my internet cheapies and dollar tree tests until AF shows her face. I hate the 2ww!!

Omg! I was soooo close to buying a hpt today. My bbs are so sore and I have a lot of cramping today which isn't usual for this time of the month. I am trying so hard not to look too much into it. I figure I wasn't meant to buy a test today though. I walked into the shop and ran into a work mate, then I saw my Mum (who doesn't know we're ttc). I figured it wasn't meant to be. Plus, I bought 50 hpt's on Ebay the other day, they were sent out today.

[sageviolet]

Congrats, Nahri!!! You inspire me!

Rosie, do whatever you need to do to honor the lives that were inside you. I had a m/c with my first and made new curtains for the room I hoped would be a nursery someday. If you are sure that you want to keep trying, maybe you should take a break from the diet and just work on getting yourself to optimal health. Or you might want to get tested to see if there's some genetic disorder you're at risk for and you just got lucky the first couple of times? Don't wallow in despair, get up and take action! *HUGS*

Boysway, I hope to see some peeing going on soon! ;-)

I also took (and currently take) Clomid. I had O pain at my normal unmedicated O time, again a few days later, and then a mild pain 3 days before AF.

I did notice that some people will have another egg released a few days to a week after the first. My Dr even told me to DTD from end of AF to the start of the next one. He said that it is very common to have false O pains around the normal time you will O but not have a healthy egg. Sometimes even test strips can pick up the start of fertility but it last longer then normal. The only true way to know O is to monitor with u/s.

[ThinkinPinkin]

Boysway, sending all my blue dust your way!!! Thank you guys :) crampy today (10DPO) maybe implantation? Who knows!

[Blue-Blue-Pink?]

So exciting, I hope there will be a lot of bfp's! I hope I can join you in two weeks or something. That will be my first attempt.

Congratulations nahri!

[weeziewoozles]

Doh! I stupidly sat down to check my emails, facebook etc with a coffee and a packet of Lotus caramelised biscuits (know the ones? spekuloos/caramel flavour?). So have unconsciously eaten most of the packet! Doh! Probably about 900cals! Luckily I had had a good LE day so far so have definitely gone over, but mostly in sugar not protein/fat. Whoops. I'll be on the ball again tomorrow.

How's everyone coping with the waiting game? DH is away till Friday so without him to chat to, my thoughts keep dwelling on the whole TTC thing. I may test tomorrow but am scared to do it as I think it'll be BFN again :(

[Me+4]

It's frustrating for you weezie. I was lucky that my AF arrived 6 weeks after stopping BF. If you don't get your BFP it may worth a visit to the GP???
I finally got my positive opk this evening! Day 21 ( think delay was caused by my chemical pg last month ...last time I ovulated on day 22 I conceived twins!
So tonight's the night.... month 5.... wish us luck!!!
Fingers crossed it's a pink one!

[Boysway]

I still haven't tested, 10 dpo for me. I've had nightshifts and a funeral today to keep my mind off testing. Mind you, the cramps haven't eased. They are there constantly.

Good luck ladies :)

[Christi]

ThinkinPink, that sounds promising but just a little early. For what it is worth, with DS#1, I saw my OB on 11DPO and my HCG test came back negative, but a few days later, I got my BFP. Hopefully that will happen to you too.

Nahri, YAY!!!

Boysway, I am on pins and needles waiting to hear what happens. Fingers crossed for you!

Weezie, I wouldn't worry about a little cheat like that. We all cheat a bit here and there and, frankly, it isn't like you "cheated" with healthy foods. =)

[weeziewoozles]

True! Sugary biscuits aren't too bad. Just used a cheapy and it's a clear BFN again. :( I might start taking my temp every morning and see if I can see any evidence of a cycle yet.

[Boysway]

Sorry to hear that weezie :(

[CattyPad]

Well, I am still here! Cd32, 17dpo....I keep thinking AF is coming but it's a false alarm! I have white cm, not sure if that's a sign, as I never paid attention before!

[purplepoet20]

weezie... are you taking anything to bring your cycles back?

[Christi]

Lovesunshine, have you tested? The fact that af hasn't shown is a good sign!

Weezie, I agree with purple, have you tried to do something to encourage your cycle to come back? I think vitex is supposed to help bring af back. Not sure if you are swaying for pink or blue, but vitex might help with a pink sway.

3dpo... I felt some mild pains this morning and now 5hrs later I feel very bloated. Maybe I will test at 5dpo.

[weeziewoozles]

I took Vitex for a while but stopped in August when we started DTD as I know you're not meant to take it when PG. I've not been to the doctor yet as I imagine they wil say A) you've had three healthy boys already, what's your problem? or B) you've only been trying two months or so and you're 35 now so....

[ThinkinPinkin]

I think I'm out for this month. :( 11DPO and stark white pregnancy tests combined with extremely painful cramps makes me think I'm going to be seeing AF any minute.

[CattyPad]

Lovesunshine, have you tested? The fact that af hasn't shown is a good sign!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No not yet, my cycles have been known to be up to 33days a couple of times...and I keep getting AF like cramps but then nothing!

[ThinkinPinkin]

Also... I had asked for an HCG quant and a progesterone level to be drawn at 9DPO and the quant was 0 and my progesterone was 4.3. Am I crazy in thinking that's way low?

[Boysway]

Thinkinpinkin, I hope you are wrong.

LoveSunshine, fingers and toes are crossed for you.


I wasn't able to have a sleep (after nightshift) till 4pm yesterday. My temp dropped to just above the coverline last night then came up again today. Bbs are still sore but, not like they were :( I'm not feeling very hopeful now :(

[ThinkinPinkin]

As luck would have it, my littler guy has slept through the night for the last week so I'm going to go back to temping this month and see where it takes me. Now to get my rear in gear in terms of my sway. Looks like we might get an opportunity this month and I'd normally have ovulated from the side I don't have a tube but my OB is going to do an ultrasound to see if I develop a follicle on my "good" side. Fingers crossed!

[Boysway]

Good luck ThinkinPinkin :D

I did the mistake of testing today :( Bfn. Only 11 dpo so there is still some hope I guess.

[Nahri]

Dont give up hope til AF rears her ugly head ladies! Even the most sensitive at home tests were negative for me until almost the full 15 dpo!! BOTH pregnancies now. Keep the hope alive!

[Boysway]

I know I still have hope till af arrives. Plus, I didn't get my bfp with Miss 4 till 12 dpo. At least I have plenty of hpt's. My 50 hpt's arrived today. I will try to hold out testing till Sunday if I can (it's Friday here).

[weeziewoozles]

I didn't get a BFP with DS3 until about 18DPO I think, as LE had lengthened my cycles so much. So you're def not out yet

[Boysway]

Weezie, I'm on the HE diet, it's shortened my cycle.

[sageviolet]

That's interesting about the sways affecting cycle lengths. I don't notice any difference in mine other than my lp is shorter than it was before I had dd. I am still bfing a little. I've monitored things over the past 6 months and worked to get my lp up to 12 days so hopefully I can sustain a pregnancy. It was 14 days before dd, but that was also shortly after a m/c.

Boysway, wow, 50 tests! Sounds like you're going to have a good time, lol. I have a fresh batch of 25 I ordered recently, and I'm eager to use them. I might start on Sunday, but I know there isn't much chance of a positive until Monday or Tuesday.

[purplepoet20]

boysway... my cycles have gone up to about 30-32 days with any diet I have been on to sway for a girl. When I eat more red meat my cycles are anywhere from 26-28 days. During the summer month I eat red meat 2-4 days a week. But with temp outside above 100 I do not want to cook inside most days. So we BBQ by the pool!

I have noticed with the increase of meat in peoples diets they are also exposing themselves to more hormones, chemicals, and so on. Even with organic or grass fed beef all is the same. When someone realizes the true amount of protein that is needed it is crazy to thing how much you are exposing yourself to and the effects of it.... with my boys I would eat 80-100g of protein a day and sometimes more. I can eat an entire chicken in one meal sometimes when I am preparing for a bike race. And when it comes to steak I want my plate covered and not just a small bite.

It's all in the food we eat!

[purplepoet20]

4dpo and I decided to test with a walmart .88 one, just for fun. So far nothing but I wasn't expecting anything!

I made homemade Chicken Pot Pie last night and after 1/2 a cup I could eat anymore and felt sick to my stomach. I can't wait till I can eat food again. Since I had a major stomach bug I am barely up to a few cups of solid food. At least I can maintain the cals I need.

[weeziewoozles]

:( Sorry you're struggling to eat. I hate being ill. I've got a cold at the mo, nothing major but enough to make me hungry and weary! Bring on the BFPs!

[Boysway]

Sageviolet, I was told being on the HE diet as long as I have (January this year) can put an irregular cycle where they used to be. I just hope I don't need to use many of them.

I'm on nightshift at the moment. I've only had one cup of tea. I will try not to use the toilet or have a drink. I'll test again when I get home.

[purplepoet20]

I am starting to have that feeling that AF is coming but since I am only 4dpo and cd19 I am assuming implantation... please please please!

[XXforhubby]

I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you waiting to test! I am currently waiting for pos. opk.

I know how you feel PurplePoet! I had that happen and AF came 😞 I hope you get your BFP!

I am trying to stay positive that I will get a BFP when it is meant to be....sigh

[Nahri]

purplepoet stick to bland easy to digest things. If you like smoothies those will be good for a bit and help keep your calories going and easy on your digestive system and especially to recoat your digestive system and get it back in order. I hope you feel better soon!

[purplepoet20]

The test I took 5hrs ago has a faint line...:think:

[Linzshine32]

Preg test or Ov test???

I am CD9 waiting for a pos OPK. All of this waiting stinks! In other news I am taking a new job (signing the paperwork monday) which is going to be a lot less stress and a weight off my shoulders from where I am now - so i'm hoping the news of that will relax me enough to lower T levels and give me a girl push!!

[purplepoet20]

It was a preg test.

[purplepoet20]

I have felt aches and cramps for a few hours now. Still have the feeling of AF coming. And now I feel sick to my stomach. AF is due in 9 days.

The last time I felt this this early was with DS3 and he was a twin. :worry:

[Nahri]

Hey you never know! Tomorrow with FMU might be your lucky day!!!

[Boysway]

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

[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

[kaseybaby]

Sorry Boysway, Purple that is what happened to me with DS, I checked the test HOURS later and it was positive. CD 5 here. Nothing much except I am SOOOOOOO thirsty.

[bluebonnet22]

purple poet - congrats, sounds like you are pg?
boysway - I'm so sorry, hope your temps are just acting up and you aren't officially out yet.
yogi - the plan sounds fabulous! So many of us boy moms got boys with tons of attempts in the fertile window!

[Boysway]

I re took my temp as I realized I hadn't had 3 hours sleep (after nightshift). My temp went up. I still don't have much hope. I still tested and got a bfn. I'm a little upset but kind of relieved. Dh and I had words tonight and right now, I don't want anymore kids. I'm sick of him not helping. When I spoke to him about it and other things he just made me feel like crap :( He even asked if I was angry because I'm not pregnant. So now the kids will likely know we were TTC. He also told me if my moods were going to be like this then we will just 'can' having another baby.

[CattyPad]

I am still here!! Cd34, 19dpo....! Haven't tested yet.
I guess I am dubious about testing because my DS took a year to come and this is our first TTC attempt this time round.
If i am pg would a test show for sure now?

[sageviolet]

Boysway, sorry you're having a rough time. *hugs*

LoveSunshine, most tests say they're super accurate as of the day of your missed period, so if you were expecting af by now, please test! Fingers crossed for you!

My tests say they're sensitive at 7-10dpo, so I tried with fmu today at 9dpo and got a bfn. I might not have time to test tomorrow, but definitely will try again on Monday. Af is due on Wed.

[Me+4]

LoveSunshine....definitely by now. You should test!!!
Boysway..It's so hard when ttc. Me and dh had a massive argument last month on the night we had to dtd. I didn't know whether to just let it go knowing full well he wouldn't dtd after a big row or to tell him what I was feeling. Why is it when you get to a crucial point in your cycle then the really big arguments happen? 99% of the time he is happy to try for another one but it's that 1% of the time that he says he doesn't want anymore that is really upsetting.
I am 1dpo....impatiently waiting!

[TigerLily12]

Hi everyone :) cd16 for me, not sure whether or not I've already O'd or if it's still coming. We've dtd every day since cd3. Three times a day since cd12! I've just been relaxing, focusing a lot on cooking and spending time with our pets. TMI!! I can't tell this cycle if I have cm or not because I'm constantly leaking semen, which is making it hard to know whether or not I have any ewcm or if I'm close to O. But like I said, I'm just going to relax. This is my 2nd cycle off BCP and 2nd cycle ttc. Last cycle was 33 days long. I took soy iso days 3-7 last cycle and EPO up to what I thought was O... this cycle I'm just taking my prenatals, so we'll see :)

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck Tiger Lily!
Sounds like a definite bfp is coming your way with all of the bd'ing! I am not to far off from cd as you.

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.

Omg LoveSunshine!!!
What are you waiting for? You are long overdue. How long are your cycles? Looks to me like your pregnant but don't know it. Good luck Hun!!! I hope you see a BFP! 😄

[zahararose]

Hi there- hope I can join you ladies - I'm 4dpo now! Fingers crossed, it's our first cycle trying to sway pink so not that confident but we will see. Good luck to you all :)

[Boysway]

I cam home from nightshift last night to dh emptying the dw and he was very apologetic about last night. Let's hope things are going to change around here.

In the meantime, af arrived well and truly onto the next cycle.

[XXforhubby]

Hi ladies!

I have had to take a break from the boards for a bit. I am trying to hold onto the tiny bit of positive thinking I have left in getting my BFP this cycle. Currently I am waiting for pos. opk and BDing every four days.

LoveSunshine- take a test! Sounds like you are pregnant!

Welcome Zahararose!

Boysway- ugh! I am sorry AF arrived! At least DH made nice after having a row with you! Hopefully he can be more supportive this next cycle.

Yogi and everyone waiting- GL and FX that this cycle brings BFPs!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[weeziewoozles]

Hey ladies. Thinking of you all lots. Fingers tightly crossed for you all. I've still no AF, BFP or evidence of a cycle. I'm a bit worried that losing weight has stopped me ovulating but not much I can do about that really. If I start eating more and putting on weight, then I'll be swaying blue!

[yogi&booboo]

Zarahose! Welcome, Good Luck and sending you tons of pink dust your way :)

Boysway I am truly sorry . Good Luck to you for your next attempts.

XX Thank-you :)
I think it definitely helps to stay off the forums for a bit. Good luck to you too!

Weezie!
Try asking atomic what to do in this situation and I am positive she will have a grew answer for you. Good luck 😊

[Me+4]

Sorry Boysway, your chart looked great until that pesky dip! Good luck next cycle.
TigerLily, I've just told DH how often you are dtd! His eyes popped out of his head. You deserve to be pregnant like, about a month ago!!!!

[CattyPad]

Good Luck Tiger Lily!

Well usually between 29-31 days...apart from one 34 day cycle back in May. I must admit, the curiosity is killing me now! If AF is not here by tomorrow I will test, I will be sure to update here, thanks for your nice wishes everyone xx

[Boysway]

Good luck LoveSunshine :)

Good luck ladies :D

[TigerLily12]

Boysway- I'm sorry AF came :(

Lovesunshine- test!! I want to know! :fingers:

Thank you yogi! I wish I knew when/if I've ovulated yet. I'm cd17 so if my cycle was going to be as long as the last one, 33 days, and assuming my lp is 14 days I should O on like cd 19. I'm hoping last month was just a fluke and O was delayed with the BCP, soy, epo, and everything else. Maybe I've already O'd. I wish I could see some ewcm so I'd at least have an idea!

Me+4- :rofl: haha thank you! We're really trying! It helps that OH is a complete hornball. He can't take his hands off of me! It's not too tiring though, it seems to work out like once in the morning, once in the evening before dinner and then one right before bed. It's helped a ton with relaxing :)
Last night he had way too much to drink with some of his pals so this morning he wasn't feeling too great. Today we only had the one try. I'm going to go to bed early so none later on.

I haven't felt any O pains yet. Is it possible that so much BD could negatively effect cm?

[yogi&booboo]

Tigerlily,
I think you haven't ovulated yet. It can interfere with your cm but it should not stop you seeing some in between your bd's. I bd this morning and at around noon I did a cm check and it was somewhat creamy. Try checking your cm by putting a clean finger to the tip of your cervix.

[weeziewoozles]

For some reason this weekend I didn't do as well as usual on LE. I only went over a little, we had guests for dinner so there were pre-dinner drinks, peanuts, a big Indian dinner with samosas and bhajis etc, so I over-ate. But I didn't do too badly. The main thing I noticed was I wanted to snack all the time, just one biscuit here, just one glass of wine there. Really interesting as I've stuck quite easily to 2 or 3 meals a day for months. My optimistic side is hoping it means a change in hormones. It could just be my default gluttony kicking back in!

[TigerLily12]

Yogi-
I'm not sure if I will then :( I've only had noticeable discharge twice this cycle (that wasn't semen). The first was just a lot of watery nothing on the evening of cd 13 (It was a Wednesday and I stayed up late that evening to watch the first episode of the new season of American Horror Story!) and the second time was today around lunch, cd 18, but it's the tacky, creamy, white lotion kind. It kind of bummed me out so I went to the restroom to check cp and it's about medium height and hard as a ball... I'm testing on the 29th.

[TigerLily12]

weezie- I don't blame you one bit, I would absolutely pig out on a meal like that :) it sounds delicious!

[yogi&booboo]

Good luck Tigerlily and don't stress. Im sure you caught your eggy. My cm keeps changing from watery to creamy to both so ill just keep testing..im cd 17 today. I love that show. I just started watching it. I need to watch from season one so I can understand it more.

[ThinkinPinkin]

CD3 here. Have an ultrasound scheduled for CD12 to check out follicles. Hoping I have at least a follicle on my left (I only have a left Fallopian tube). Fingers crossed for the rest of you ladies!!

[kaseybaby]

Fingers crossed everyone! 8 DPO here, and the only two signs I have been having is tired and my breasts are tender which they don't get before AF since I have had kids. But that's it. I really hope it took this month. I really don't want to have to do IVF.

[TigerLily12]

The show is really great! They have all of season 1 and 2 on Netflix. One of the coolest things about it, in my opinion, is that it's a different story with different characters, but mostly the same actors every season. So to watch season 4 you don't need to have a clue about any season prior :)
FX for our BFPS!!! What day do you start testing on Yogi? I want to avoid all the early test bfn disappointment fiasco from last cycle.

GL ThinkinPinkin!

[TigerLily12]

GL to you too kaseybaby! That sounds promising :)

[yogi&booboo]

Good Luck ThinkinPinkin!
Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you !

[yogi&booboo]

Oh then that's on my todo list for this weekend Tigerlily!! Im super excited now:D.

I haven't ovulated yet :( I think i am having delayed ovulation because of my chemical from last month :( but i am opk testing daily up to 3 or 4 times a day because I am an addict lol. I hope to ovulate soon :eek: because im starting to loose my patience. I usually ovulate by cd17 which is today :(

[Boysway]

Wishing you the best of luck ladies :)

[tarasue]

Patiently waiting to ovulate....... It should be today and I just don't think it's going to happen, any time soon anyway. I am getting very irritated with myself:/. My opk's were starting to get darker over the weekend, I tested again last night before bed and the test line was barely visible? What's up with that??

[CattyPad]

:holysheep:

[yogi&booboo]

I knew it LoveSunshine!!!!
Congratulations! Wishing you a happy & healthy nine months :)

[CattyPad]

Thank you yogiboboo! It doesn't seem real!

Hey...can I have a truckload of your pink dust please?!:DD:

[Rosie85]

Hey ladies. Congrats love!! I didnt read back...any other bfps??

Im still deciding if I want to try this cycle or not...dh is really pushing it. I go in on thursday for testing. I really think I am perimenopausal and that could be where my infertility is coming from. I have every symptom of it. My period last go around was so heavy I couldn't leave the house. Just awful.

Good luck to the rest of you all still waiting to test!

[weeziewoozles]

:cheerteam:

[yogi&booboo]

LoveSunshine truck load on its way! Im so excited for you :)

[Me+4]

Hooray LoveSunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May it be the first of many more!!!!
I'm day 27 today, 4dpo, Af due Friday and best friends wedding on Saturday. To drink or not to drink???

[bluebonnet22]

LoveSunshine - Massive congrats!!!

Rosie - You are so, so young. I would be shocked if you are perimenopausal, but I guess it's possible? I had a much heavier period than normal following my m/c (as in a full month after my m/c), I wonder if the D&C, etc contributed? AF this month was the worst I've had in probably a year (it came 31 days after my m/c started). No idea if that's just me or if that is a pattern. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Me+4 - I guess you will know if you are pg by Saturday so it will be an easy decision! Good luck!

Today is CD9 for me, and we are having our every 4 days attempt today (even though I don't normally ovulate until CD13-CD16 time frame). We will wait to BD again until positive OPK (even if it means waiting 5 or 6 days). I have always gotten a positive OPK so hopefully that is the case this cycle as well. The only problem is I leave for a trip without DH on CD14-CD19 so I'm really hoping I get my positive before I leave so we don't miss my fertile window. This was going to be our last try until 2015 so I hope I at least get a chance in ! If I don't get a positive before I fly out we will BD the morning I leave and hope for the best.

[CattyPad]

Thank you ladies, and good luck to you too!!
I love this forum, so much support!

[Twins6boysinall]

Hi every body! I'm not sure when I ovulated but I'm pretty sure it was last Monday or Tuesday. I know its to early to test but I did anyway. And I got a faint line during the 3 minutes. I'd post it but I can't figure out how.

[sageviolet]

Congrats, LoveSunshine!!! That's a beautiful line!

I really needed the cheering up. AF came and I'm out this month. You give me hope.

[CattyPad]

Twins6boys, click on the little icon of a square with a tree inside and you can attach your pic!

Sage, thank you :) good luck to you, it took me 12 months to conceive my DS so this came as a huge shock!! Hope you get your BFP soon!

[Rosie85]

I am indeed young but my mom finished her menses at 38. So it snt too farfetched for me sadly. Luckily perimenopause can take up to 10 years. ..I would just need hormone therapy to get pregnant.

[Me+4]

Twins6boysinall.....test again tomorrow with your fmu!!! Fingers crossed it's even darker!
Bluebonnet... I'll only be 8dpo on Saturday and I've never had an early positive!
Just found out today that a friend I gave "boy sway" tips to is pregnant with twins! I'm looking forward to seeing what she has...she will find out on scan.

Anybody else due to test soon?

[kaseybaby]

Congrats Lovesunshine!

So as a joke with my friend I took a test at 8dpo, never in a million years did i think anything would show up. I totally forgot about it and went into the bathroom an hour later and there is a line. It is faint, but visible. It is invalid, right? I don't know how I would feel if it is positive at 8DPO. I know I released 3 eggs and I am terrified that there are multiples if it is in fact positive at 8dpo

[TigerLily12]

Congrats LoveSunshine and Twins6boysinall!! I wish a happy and healthy nine months to both of you :)
October is really coming along nicely with so many BFPs!

Yogi- you might be right about the chemical delaying O, I wish we could control things like ovulation. I'm happy you're going to watch more of the show :)

For me I think the biggest helper, besides OH, distracting me from obsessing about TTC this cycle was Desperate Housewives. I had never seen the show before but I came across it on Netflix and have been binge watching for the past 3 weeks! Netflix is my hero.

Hugs to all the girls that got AF :hug2:

GL to bluebonnet! I hope you catch your egg before you go on your trip :) I remember reading on some forum link from google a bunch of identical twin moms all had taken an airplane ride right after O... they noticed that they all had that in common by chance but were guessing maybe the quick change of pressure caused the egg to split? Maybe if you catch your egg before your trip you'll get twins! :)

CD19 for me... AF is due anywhere between 9-15 days from now. Lots of creamy white discharge today. It looked like lotion. Checked CP this morning and I couldn't find my cervix. That thing has been very unpredictable lately... but yes very soft and almost nonexistent today. BD every single day since cd12 so attempts were/are still being made in case today was O. 15 days until I want to test. Hopefully I can hold off that long... bring on the Netflix!

[TigerLily12]

Congrats kaseybaby!! That's extremely exciting!! Test again in the morning :)

[yogi&booboo]

Hahahah OMG Tigerlily,
You made me chuckle :D I can't wait to binge on Netflix. Sounds like it will also be helping me keep my sanity.

Good luck in your tww. Looks like many bfps are on their way. I am almost 100% you will get yours too :)

[kaseybaby]

I am in complete denial. This can't be real lol It is too early

[yogi&booboo]

Kasey it can be :) Good luck & Congratulations. Wishing you a healthy 9 months ahead. It will kick in very soon :)

[Twins6boysinall]

Bluebonnet22 I hope you get your BFP. For some reason those cheap test don't work well for me. I use the first response they are way better.

[Twins6boysinall]

I did try the tree but I can't get it to load. I wanted to see what you guys thought. I think it is a BFP but not to sure. Don't want to get my hopes up.
Kaseybaby I feel the same. Is it valid?
I'm going to retest but I thought I'd wait a couple of days. Af isn't due till the 22nd. Seems to early to be BFP. Does anyone know if clomid can make you ovulate early?

[kaseybaby]

Twins6, I took another test and another very faint line appeared. So that is two very very faint lines. They are definitely faint but not so faint you need to squint and hold them up to the light to see them, kwim? The RE wants me to come in on Friday for my blood pregnancy test. She thinks they are positive. But I just don't know. Just seems crazy early to me.

[CattyPad]

I am in complete denial. This can't be real lol It is too early

Haha I feel the same! How long have you been trying?
I also have an appointment on Friday to confirm, so I guess it will all feel more real then!!

[CattyPad]

I did try the tree but I can't get it to load. I wanted to see what you guys thought. I think it is a BFP but not to sure. Don't want to get my hopes up.

After you click the tree you need to choose file then click underneath on a button that doesn't look like a button that says "upload files" (am I making sense?), try again!

[bluebonnet22]

Congrats Twin6boy and kaseybaby! Very exciting news!

TigerLily - I had heard a flight around ovulation could cause twins but I never had heard the "reason". How interesting!

Ladies I had a full on cheat day this weekend (ate chicken nuggets! OMG!), but I've still lost too much weight this cycle (5 lbs in a little over a week). I'm worried the rapid weight loss will delay ovulation and I'll be gone on my trip already when I ovulate. It's so hard to be strict on LE and still maintain your weight properly so you ovulate. I guess I need to add in my sugary crap today but it kills me to do that. Fingers crossed my body still manages to ovulate on time this month!

[Twins6boysinall]

21508
I want to see if I did this right

[Twins6boysinall]

Bluebonnet22 Good for you. The swaying diets can be so hard. I really hope you get your BFP and that it is which ever gender you are trying for.

Ok I was going to wait but Kaseybaby thought I should test again so I did. I will buy more good tests today so I can retest again Friday. And again when my period is actually due LOL. The hole 2ww is so stressful but for me the after is going to be just as stressful. My last pregnancy ended at 18 weeks. The baby just died. So hert breaking it was finally the daughter me and my DH had been dreaming of.21509

[purplepoet20]

9dpo been having aches and pains, cold feeling in stomach, acid reflex, food avoidence, sensitive to smell, and tired.

I tested at 8dpo but it was to faint to take a picture but I will test again at 10 or 11 dpo. I will be to busy to test over the weekend with a house full of people for a birthday party.

AF is due on Sunday so I should for sure when I come back online Tuesday!

[CattyPad]

I see a line twinboys! (Glad you managed to upload it!).
I am sorry for your loss, I hope that is a BFP and the girl you long for. X

[Twins6boysinall]

Thank you Lovesunshine.

My symptoms have been sensitive smells, Constipation and gas (TMI) and stuff nose and Itchy skin.
I knew gas and constipation were symptoms but when I looked up the nose and itchy part I found those are early pregnancy symptoms too.

I just hope its not that the egg was fertilized but doesn't implant. I have had a dull ache on my left side for days. I'm hoping that means the womb is making room for baby!
