Is anyone taking vitex?

[Pbn3]

Hi everyone I'll be in here as well. Hoping to be 3dpo on 1st October.

[hopper]

Is anyone taking vitex?

Not me hun. Though my cycles are so screwy I'm wondering if I should have been taking it!

[hopper]

Sorry to see you here Quinn, are you still hanging onto the Sept thread? Have you got AF yet or waiting? Hoping you get that BFP asap x

Welcome pbn, have everything crossed for you this cycle!! Bring on the BFPs! Hopefully there will be an abundance ;)

[mommymachine]

Not me hun. Though my cycles are so screwy I'm wondering if I should have been taking it!

I am going to take it this cycle AF-O. Not sure exactly why...I still have some in the cupboard from my swaying for DD2 days. I didn't end up using it with her.

[mommymachine]

Hi everyone I'll be in here as well. Hoping to be 3dpo on 1st October.

What cycle is this for you PBN?

[Pbn3]

Number 5 mommymachine :( This is last cycle trying one attempt and this time I'm using sperm safe lube for some extra help. Hope it works as I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. Each bfn month takes more of an emotional toll than the previous.

[Pink Pony]

Hi Ladies, my time has finally arrived. I am on CD5 today. Been on the LE Diet for 21 weeks, but this is my first attempt at trying. Nervous as hell, but a little excited too. Anyone with any extra pink dust, please send it my way.

I have been following everyone's journeys so far and for those of you that have been unsuccessful, here's hoping that October brings everyone some happy news and that you are each blessed with a positive test and even better, would be your preferred gender :)

For those of you that are pregnant, A Massive Congratulations :)

[Pbn3]

Hi Pinkpony! Hope your not like some of us and you get your bfp first go!! 21 weeks on diet wow! I'm just over 27 weeks but started cheating last two 2ww cycles lol.

[purple]

Hi pink pony! I hope you are lucky first month :) 21 weeks is a great effort on LE.

Nothing much happening here.. just waiting and trying not to eat some cake on my desk.. must have it with lunch.. no snacking :)

[purple]

My youngest is 4 today! I feel like we are going to have such a huge age gap now! It makes me quite sad about the January due date I had before... it was so perfect but obviously not to be :(

Happy birthday to your lo! I have a "what could have been" due date from 2013 and still think about it. Although I now think the timing of my dds is perfect but I know it still hurts. I have two friends that planned their kids 5 years apart.

I saw in the other post you were asking about timing / frequency. I conceived both my boys from BD every other day. DH didn't like to be put under too much pressure so thats what we did to increase chances of conception but not go overboard (unaware it was so blue friendly at the time!)

[mommymachine]

Welcome pink pony! Wow 21 weeks!!! Good for you!

Purple, happy birthday to your lo. I really hope this is your month.

[Quinn31]

I really need to get pregnant and off the HE diet. I've always been thin/average and a runner but since starting this in July, I've gained 10 pounds, plus I was still 5 pounds heavier from my last pregnancy. My dh describes me as soft, I just feel gross and my clothes don't fit. I do weights/cardio 4-5 times a week and yoga poses too. I also try to take 6000 or more steps but I'm still flabby and gross. I want to go back to me LE ways (although I cheated a lot so I was a moderate LE girl. I just made up for it with exercise). Do you ladies hate LE? It's funny because I think it's just the general way you eat and we don't have to be a strict as we are. I feel like on the boards all the girl swayers are losing s ton of weight and boy swayers are getting chubby when that's not what it's like in real life. Not all girl moms are thin and not all boy moms are fat, in fact I always think of boy moms as athletic looking. Weird. This is on my mind because I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and whoa!!!! [emoji15] I had secondary infertility last time so really hoping that's not the case with this one!

I totally get it Quinn. You are so right in saying that we go to extremes. Since my miscarriage I'm not swaying anymore.
I really hope this is your month and you can eat what makes you comfortable really soon.

[Quinn31]

Thanks. You know I swayed with my last dd and quit after it was taking so long. I went right back to my old ways but I think if I had kept a little bit of the sway factors going I would have been fine. When I had my girls, I ate breakfast and snacked all day but it was smaller meals and they weren't always nutritious. I would really eat every hour or two. I think small things like that can help sway girl.

Hi i m 2 dpo as well having a lot of back ache. And tired over all.

[has2gentlemen]

Moving over to here, as I'm CD 1 today. Just had a nice McDonald's meal for lunch and I already suggested to DH that we go out with the boys tonight and have dessert after dinner. I'll go back to LE in the morning.

Sorry has2gentlemen. I always indulge on cd1 as well.

Has anyone ever had what feels like contractions when they O? This is the seconds month this has happened. It's very painful very low and I read it could be my cervix dilating which is crazy to me.

Hi kkkk!! fx for you and boyzmommy!

[hopper]

Good evening ladies (or morning, or afternoon lol)Welcome to everyone, nice to see you here pink pony! We were on the waiting to ttc thread together :)

So had a bit of a bad day today. Really upset by the fact my AF came so early this month, mind of feel it was a non attempt even though we had attempts when it mattered. My only friend who knows I am swaying was over for coffee earlier she has a PP and we initially met up with two other mommy friends who also have PPs and they were all talking about girl stuff and nail painting and Frozen parties and I just could have cried. I did cry later when the other mommy friends were gone and the friend who knows I am swaying was there. I just feel it's something I want too much and will never have, how could I be that lucky!
Any who,she went off home later and said shouldn't stop thinking of me so she asked her mom who is a medium to do a card reading for me. She pulled 5 cards and WOW was it crazy to hear what she said. Firstly she said that October will not be my month either so to prepare myself but that she sees my cycles have shortened so less of a wait til November when she says I will conceive. I will have an August 2016 due date, she said she thinks I will be due around my dad's birthday. She doesn't know me, or my parents, neither does my friend so neither of them knew my dad's birthday is August 1st. She said I will deliver early, possibly mid July. And it will be my daughter who is waiting for me,she used the words "your daughter has chosen you so be patient". She said my pregnancy will be unlike my first two. I will be under quite a bit of stress but it's work related (could be true, I wasn't working at all when pg with my boys) She said her cards showed her that my new job is a gateway to success. She also said that my third child isn't my final child as DH and I have discussed. She says I will either have girl/boy twins or I will have a fourth child who will be a boy. I know to take it all with a large pinch of salt but the whole due date thing made me kinda sit up and take notice. She wouldn't have a clue of my dad's birthday. She's a quite well known medium, I have heard she has never gotten the gender of a baby wrong. Recently she told my friend (her DD) to be sure she was being safe cause she saw a baby in the family. She said it kept coming up and a few weeks later her niece announced her pregnancy. She told the niece she would have a girl, the niece was sceptical as she was having an identical pregnancy to her first which was a boy. Was confirmed last week she's due a girl in February! Would love her to be right for me!

Anyways will continue with my sway. Took it easy with cardio the past fortnight so back to it now Sunday evening. Have a hugely stressful work week next week but hoping I can keep my stress and anxiety levels as lows possible. Have a girls weekend away next weekend too so surely evaporating cheats then so will try to stay good for the week (bought a size 6 UK dress so need to make sure I fit into it lol!!) I've always been a size 10-12 so this is crazy to me lol.

[mammacass]

Hi ladies, jumping over from the September TWW and on CD2 today :) my O day had dotted crosshairs so hoping it was incorrect and I didn't have a short LP.

I have been away on holidays the last week so haven't been as good as I should have been but will start again today :)

Mommymachine I am taking Vitex, before my previous/first cycle I took it continually but now taking it AF-O.

17wks on LE now, not super strict though but my diet is definitely different to when I conceived my boys.

I am sorry about AF mammacass :( Sometimes FF gets it wrong, so don't worry about your LP too much.

[Pbn3]

Hopper what a lovely reading! I really hope it all comes about for you :)

Hi mammacass! Any idea when you expect to o?

I've just very surprisingly had some ewcm more than I can remember seeing for months! Giving ne that little bit more hope that maybe just maybe this might be my cycle!! Going to do afternoon opk test as my smiley was still flashing this morning just incase it changes to solid lol :) Nearly had an attempt last night but thankfully the girls in Sep 2ww helped me shelve it. Only downside is dh hadn't released since Tuesday so I asked him to this morning thinking he'll have enough supply back by tomorrow night so if I do get a pos opk this arvy then I don't know that he'll have enough swimmers in the bank tonight :( there always seems to be something that goes wrong lol

[mammacass]

Not forever Pbn lol I would guess around the CD30 mark again unless the vitex changes it up for me :) that makes it at end of Oct around 24th so would spill over to the Nov TWW I guess [emoji4]

Good news on the CM, feeling lots of positive vibes for you [emoji106]

[Pbn3]

Wow that is a long cycle! I really hope the vitex shortens it for you! Be great when NOT ttc! Did you take vitex last cycle and if so did it help? (Sorry if you've already said this)

[mammacass]

Yeah I feel down about having to wait so long but what can u do. I did take vitex but didn't help move it forward any, I have read it takes a while to work, and given that we only take it AF-O I imagine that makes it take even longer? I can't really complain though I could have it much worse hey [emoji4]

Yeah the longer cycles would be great when not TCC lol haven't really experienced it though as have always been on pill.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopper, that was a nice reading, hope it all comes true for you!

Mammacass, I have o'd around cd30 for my last 3 cycles, cd47 before that. I'm hoping this month I O at a reasonable time as it is so frustrating waiting.
Hopefully the vitex kicks on for you and helps bring O forward. I haven't tried it this time as in the past it hasn't helped me but everyone is different.

Sorry to all those who have just got AF :(

[mammacass]

You know my pain lol yeah it does get very frustrating doesn't it, I hope we both get an early O this cycle xx

[Quinn31]

If you ladies took clomid would that help? I don't know much about it but I've heard women taking it to O sooner. I took it and it didn't help me so that must not have been my problem but I be had friends have a lot of success with it.

Hopper that's a great reading!! It would give me great hope to get a reading like that.




Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[mammacass]

Quinn I think I would love to get my hands on some clomid, even if it was only for swaying pink and didn't help with O, I just don't know if my Dr would give it to me since I haven't had any issues with conceiving my last 3? Tossing up whether to make an appt just to ask lol

I was about to get a referral to a FS and then got pregnant so my dr thinks I'm ok. I might push the issue if it goes on for too long.
DS1 is a clomid baby after having a 200+ day cycle.

I took soy again this cycle which didn't help that much last time at I still o'd cd30 but it's worth another try.

Ok, so I bought some shop opks... you can see how crap the ebay ones are as I tested the same time. I don't know if I missed my surge as my cheapies were slightly darker before or if its still coming.

The line looks beter irl, the photo makes it more faded (on the good test)

Hmm interesting to see the difference with your tests. I have bought some cheapie ones off eBay and not very confident in them. What CD are you now purple?

I'm only CD13 but still hopeful that I will start ovulating earlier again. When I was trying for DS2 it was averaging around cd16 - cd20.

Lovely reading, it's funny how something a little positive cab give us hope and lift our spirits. I had a reading once too and was told I would have a girl but that I needed to be patient. I am still waiting.... But hoping things turn around now that I am ready to ttc. Wishing you everything of the best.

[Quinn31]

Purple do you temp? I just started temping this cycle because I NEVER get a positive opk

So we are out of town with my parents and dh and I attempted to dtd but he couldn't finish. He says its because we did it the last 3 days. It was super awkward trying to do it on the floor and be super quiet so no one heard!! I think that had more to do with it. I had a temp shift up, does that mean if it keeps going up for two more days I O'd yesterday or last night? I had major cramping yesterday so I'm hoping that's it. If it is we did 0-2, 0-1, and 0. I'm okay with those even though I really wanted this morning's attempt to work! Grrr

Are you using fertility friend to chart? If this temp was higher than 6 of your temps before today, and stays elevated for 2 days, I think it's safe to assume you Ovulated!!! I sometimes have random temp jumps but they immediately come down when it's not due to ovulation. Those are 3 really good attempts!!! Maybe try to get one in today?

I'm not, I am still pre-O this cycle. CD6. I usually conceive right away. DD1 took 5 months but because I wasn't ovulating, as soon as I ovulated I got pregnant with her. So this is new for me, but I'm thinking it is still because of my MC in July. What about you?

Ohhh, yeah that could be why. Sorry [emoji17] I conceived in 2-3 months my first two times but my last dd took a very long time. We never had an explanation and had all the tests done so who knows. We're hoping it's a fluke and I'll conceive this month. Good luck to you!!

Hi girls! I'm now waiting for my +opk and then we are having our first attempt! Really excited but nervous at the same time. I'm swaying pink and I've been on LE 13 weeks now. I'm on cd13. I'm expecting to get +opk any day now. LE diet has made my cycles little longer than usually. I was sure I would O on full moon. It's tomorrow and it's going to be supermoon lunar eclipse lol. But it seems I O little later haha.

Hoping to see a normal post o temp tomorrow morning otherwise I could possibly o tomorrow and end up with a o-2 attempt instead of day b4 which I'm fine with - used a fair bit of sperm safe lube lol. Only time will tell. I'm also monitoring cm and cp/texture to help pinpoint. My opk this morning was super super dark so fx it means I'll o today :)

Good luck to all and is anyone testing next few days?

[mammacass]

Yay Pbn fingers crossed for you!

Woohoo Magical!! How are you feeling? When will you test?

[purple]

Welcome 2xboys :)

I'm not sure what is going on with me, my nipples are sensitive like on or after o but my temp was low today so it could be today? I didn't do an opk yesterday as we were busy plus we dtd Saturday night so I didn't want to be tempted to make another attempt lol.
If I take out my high temp on cd 7 which is probably high from a late night it gives me dashed cross hairs for cd12 which would mean I missed it this month, but it would also be crazy early for me!

[Pbn3]

Hope you get a spike in morning purple!

[Boysboys]

Hello girls! I'm still waiting on AF, last tested at 9 dpo,but my temps dropped the past two days so I'm not wasting money on anymore tests. I should see AF in the next 3 days.

I'm always the last one to ovulate!lol If everything stays on track I will be ovulating weekend of oct 10th.

This will be our 4th month TTC which is freaking me out bc both DS were conceived very quickly. My plan is to have DH build up for about 4-5 days and make our first attempt the night of positive OPK and the next day. Also will be using preseed.

Hopefully this is a big BFP month! Honestly last month was very few and far between so I feel like this month is going to be a baby boom! Praying for you girls! At this point I'll take all of your pink or blue dust! I just want a baby!!! :)

[Magical22]

Woohoo Magical!! How are you feeling? When will you test?

I'll test Friday at 9dpo but I've never got a positive before 10dpo, just want to make sure the trigger shot is out of my system for Saturday [emoji5]️

We have been ttcing since Feb so it is close to 8 months.
DS1 took 8 months but most of that was one crazy long cycle then he was first go on clomid. DS2 was almost 12 months and included one m/c.
I'm kind of used to it taking a while now but I'm still impatient!

[essnce629]

Number 5 mommymachine :( This is last cycle trying one attempt and this time I'm using sperm safe lube for some extra help. Hope it works as I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. Each bfn month takes more of an emotional toll than the previous.
Cycle #5 was my lucky cycle for a BFP last time! It was over 7 months time though as I took 2 months off in between. So fingers crossed for you Pbn3! Definitely different than my boys which were both oopsies!!

[essnce629]

And it was with one attempt too Pbn3!

[Pbn3]

Thanks essnce! I'm hoping with everything this is my cycle :) Oing today or tomorrow and had an attempt last night. Was yours a day b4 attempt?

[One Kid's Mama]

Hi, ladies! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to have found this thread! It's hard to be ttc and have no one to talk to about how frustrating it is.

My AF arrived on Saturday morning, so now we're onto our third month. I've been on the LE diet for 13 weeks at this point, and I should ovulate right around Oct. 8 or so. We got pregnant with our son by accident, and it's very, very different to be using opks and temping and checking my cervix and obsessing. I have to remind myself that it's normal for it to take a bit and not to panic, but it's hard. I'm 36 and my husband is 39, so I do worry a bit about our age. When I mentioned that to my midwife at my annual in July, she told me the practice currently had TWO women who were pregnant at age 51(!!!), so I shouldn't worry. It's hard not to, though!

Anyway, thanks for being here, and here's hoping we all get our BFP this month! Properly color coded dust to everyone! :cheer:

Also, I HATE the 2ww. It's WAY worse than waiting to O.

[Pbn3]

hi and welcome onekidsmama!! Hope you also get your october bfp!

[essnce629]

Mine seems day b4 O or day of O as well. Why is the 2ww too long

[Quinn31]

The 2ww is sooo long. Ff is saying I O'd a day earlier than I think I did and telling me to test two days earlier than af should come. Now it's just getting my hopes up!!

I have such a negative mindset that I'll never get pregnant because last time took a year and Dh won't try that long this time. It's so stressful. Especially because I was pregnant quickly twice and then couldn't get pregnant for no reason, we were both normal. At least people swaying girl have a reason to take a long time. You only have one attempt and I've been having 3-4 a cycle! I'm only 2dpo. I need to stay positive!!

[Quinn31]

Ooh that's a great option!! I would totally do that. I'm not usually negative either but I do worry a lot. I started yoga this cycle and it's making me more relaxed I think. At least while I'm doing it. Dh is 44 and that makes me really nervous!!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Quinn those are great chances! O-2 and O-1 have the highest chance of pregnancy, not O day! The egg lives 24 hours max, but probably more like 12 hours when you're not in your twenties, and it takes the sperm several hours to make it to the fallopian tube and egg so it's more likely that an O day BD is too late as the egg would be dead before the sperm even reach it! Sperm on the other hand can live up to 5 days in fertile cm and you want there to be enough time for the sperm to make it to the fallopian tube and be waiting for the egg. They can easily wait there for a few days! The egg has a much shorter lifespan than sperm so don't worry about it. Good luck!

[Boyzmommy]

Has any ofy here gotten bfp on 6 dpo. I m getting itchy feet to test

[has2gentlemen]

My earliest bfp was 10dpo but that was a chemical. My DS's were 14dpo and 17dpo before I saw real dark positives.

My DH is 38. I'm 28. That makes me a little nervous too. He started Sertraline due to a high-level stressful job with an overbearing boss so I'm so scared it has damaged/diminished his count. I made the mistake of googling it. :( we will see. Thankfully he is willing to get an analysis and hopefully get off medication when his boss retires which is very soon.

[Boysboys]

I think you have great attempts Quinn! I do know what you mean though, I always feel like they are dead within 24 hours!lol I think you've have a great chance though. :)

All good ladies. i was kinda getting fed up as i just wanted a solid answer either way. Not too keen on a July baby though as i have one but it would be in the beginning at least 😂

Now the journey to O. To think it could be cd15 or cd21/22. I think ill test every 2nd day until I get something to work with on the tests otherwise I'm going to be poor lol. Still need to get a basal too

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[Magical22]

Does anyone here watch the biggest looser in Australia? Has anyone noticed that all these obese ladies have daughters, out of like 10 kids there's only 1 male and even in the weight watchers ads the ladies on them have all girls. So weird if we are meant to do LE for a girl.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[netti02]

I often wonder that too magical. I dont watch the show but just out of my observations ive seen what you mean.

It must be other elements to it. My sister was on the plus side when she had her girls but i recall she doesn't eat breakfast (i always have) so there must be other things to de-conditioning. Ive found it extremely hard to skip breakfast and stick to LE as im such a snacker particularly on night shift. So those are some of the things im working on this month and also not jumping the gun as soon as i get a line on the opk. I neeeèeeed to wait til it gets darker lol

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[netti02]

I think le just helps with de-conditioning. Im going to fast a little on and off this cycle see how it goes just here and there.

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[purple]

I'm not too keen on June/July either. My main thing I don't like is them having to wait so long to start school.. also I don't like the idea of getting up to feed a baby in winter but figure I would probably just co-sleep for the first few months anyway.

I'm not sure if today's slight temp change is just from me not sleeping well. If I put in higher temps tomorrow and the next day it looks like the cross hairs will move to CD 15 meaning my attempt is O-2 so not that great but better than the day after O like it says now.

If I O'd late on cd14 is it possible not to have at a temp increase because I woke up at 2am and temped too early?

[XXforhubby]

The LE diet is meant to aid with decreasing maternal condition. So if someone is super fit, doing the LE diet and cardio helps to decrease muscle mass and trick your body that times are tough.

Overweight/obese people already experience a decrease in maternal condition which can also sway girl.

Someone doesn't have to lose weight to get a girl it is more about having your body think times are tough to allow an XX embryo to thrive. This can be done in different ways.

Typically not before around 7-8 dpo. A test won't turn positive until the embryo has implanted and started signaling the body to make hcg. The egg takes a few days to travel into the uterus and get implanted in the uterine wall. Then, the hcg has to build up to a level that is detectable, which for some women can take until 15+ dpo.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[purple]

I'm not sure how great my sway will be now but earlier this year I was a lot more run down and losing weight. Now I have been maintaining weight and not getting sick as often.

[XXforhubby]

Implantation occurs on average between 6-10 DPO. HCG needs to build up for at least two days before it is detected on an HPT.

I would say 8-10 DPO the earliest. Most get one between 10-13 DPO

[purple]

I'm not testing any earlier than 10dpo anymore. 11dpo if I can hold out. I would much rather see a clearer line than be in limbo with a squinter.

[Boysboys]

I usually wait until 11-12 dpo. With both boys I got a super squinted at 12 dpo. :)

[netti02]

Ikwym purple. Hopefully our chnages are enough to do the trick.

I agree im holding (trying to) until after 10dpo. Its just too much.

Just wanted to ask with the basal therm the ones with 2 decimal places are more accurate? I went to one shop today and they only had one decimal place so i left it.

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[Quinn31]

I know I've told you ladies before but I had gained a couple pounds when I got pregnant with both my girls and I cheated a lot with diet. Overall I was LE though. I only did cardio and I never ate breakfast. I would sometimes snack on foods with no nutritious value. I was much better during the week and weekends were kind of whatever goes.

I'm not in love with a June/July date because my girls were born in those months. I'm also off work already since I work in a school so it's not a great maternity leave.

[One Kid's Mama]

I'm looking forward to a June/July baby (fingers crossed). My birthday is in July, and I've always loved having a summer birthday. My son's birthday is at the end of January, so I can relate that it's no fun being super pregnant in the dead of winter, trying to wedge my bloated pregnant legs into my boots every day and having to piece together outfits and make sure every layer fit. And trying not to fall on my butt on the ice. I look forward to just being able to slide some sandals on my feet, no bending over required, and throwing on a sundress.

Pretty much all of my friends have girls, so I was shocked when I had a boy, but I have always been a dedicated breakfast eater, even though I'm also thin and a vegetarian. This month I've decided not to obsess so much about limiting protein and fat and just concentrate on skipping breakfast and not snacking. I'm hoping that will be enough. I also weigh less than I did when I got pregnant the first time.

My Cliff's Notes version for two: I'm on cd3. Should O around Oct. 8 or so. This is our third cycle of ttc.

[netti02]

This is also our third month too..lets hope 3's a charm 😉

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

[Pbn3]

Can I run something by you all? Sorry if its a bit ling winded! So looks like I'll o today as this mornings temp rise was a bust. So I'm thinking well if any swimmers survived I have a chance of a fertilised egg. Not very confident in a o-2 cut off though as I've had an attempt at day before last 3 cycles. So I'm thinking I'll have an attempt tonight as if the egg hasn't been fertilised then I get basically a second chance by dtd tonight. So in reality it would still be one attempt right? Because if our bd from night b4 last works then egg will already be fertilised but if its not then I have a chance at fertilising it tonight. Does that make sense????

That does make sense pbn. I say go for it 😉

[has2gentlemen]

Do any other girl swayers actually have to force themselves to do the alcohol portion of the sway? I managed to actually have a drink or two maybe a dozen times over the past two months. Im going to try really hard to get it in every night this month, but at the end of the day- I find I'd rather be using that 150-300 calories for food than alcohol. And I'm just not a drinking person, so I spend an hour nursing a glass of wine on nights when I try to do it. I never drank at all with either of my boys so this is a huge change, on top of the drastic difference in my diet. I guess that's one of those "boy mom/girl mom" things. I'd so much rather have a cheeseburger than a glass of wine.

It's your call hun, but it'd be 2 attempts in the fertile window. GL with whatever you decide!

Well we've just had our attempt - ds1 has daycare Tuesdays and ds2 actually went for an afternoon nap :). I definately think I oed earlier today as cervix was firmer and cm starting to change. Feel much better having this attempt under my belt :) Didn't jump and dump but was shallow release and lost a fair bit even though I laid with hips elevated. So fx and cant wait to see temp spike in morning please please!!

Purple I really hope you get some answers and hopefully you'll be able to get the clomid too!!

Boyzmummy, Magical22 I am also today at 6 DPO. I will try to wait until 8DPO with luck till 9DPO to test.
It is very sad to see BFN even when you know it is perhaps only to early. It is my 7th month.
First time I got BFP at first attempt, but lost it at 18 weeks. Perhaps my MC is the reason why my attempts have failed till now or something else....

[Boyzmommy]

Kkkk37 i m sorry for your loss. I m 6dpo as well. I checked in morning to see bfn.
I ll check again on 10 dpo i guess.

[Boysboys]

So pb, did you end up doing another attempt??

I'm 13 dpo. My temp went up a little this morning but I think it was just a fluke. Haven't tested since 9 dpo but I do not feel pregnant what so ever.

Hugs! I had a late term loss as well. It's awful to lose a baby in general but I think it adds a little extra sting to think you are "safe" (after 12 weeks) only to have your world crash down around you. More HUGS!!

Just wanted to ask with the basal therm the ones with 2 decimal places are more accurate? I went to one shop today and they only had one decimal place so i left it.

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

I've been charting off and on for 11 years with almost 70 charts to look back on and have always used a regular one decimal place thermometer. It's the same one I use for my kids, not even a basal on. I've never had a problem.

[essnce629]

Do any other girl swayers actually have to force themselves to do the alcohol portion of the sway? I managed to actually have a drink or two maybe a dozen times over the past two months. Im going to try really hard to get it in every night this month, but at the end of the day- I find I'd rather be using that 150-300 calories for food than alcohol. And I'm just not a drinking person, so I spend an hour nursing a glass of wine on nights when I try to do it. I never drank at all with either of my boys so this is a huge change, on top of the drastic difference in my diet. I guess that's one of those "boy mom/girl mom" things. I'd so much rather have a cheeseburger than a glass of wine.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've never drank in my life and started strictly for swaying purposes. The thought of drinking wine or beer makes me gag so I have a shot and a half of vodka in a diet cream soda every night! Someone on the boards mentioned this combo and it's so good! Before I was doing vodka and diet cherry Dr. Pepper which is also good. I only do it from AF to O though as I'm so not a drinker!

[essnce629]

Like Immi, I'm 7dpo as well. Will test with a FRER at 11dpo like always.

[Boyzmommy]

I m 6 dpo. Will check on 11dpo as well

[Foxcubblue]

11 dpo for me, big temp drop this morning, bfn and I have started spotting. Feeling very very glum about this whole thing as we had multiple attempts and I just feel like since the m/c I won't be able to get pregnant again. Not sure what to do or where to go from here, feeling very trapped as I am exhausted by swaying but just don't feel I can let myself give up :sad:

I'm so sorry girl. What makes you think you won't get pregnant? How many months have you been trying since the MC?

Just a stupid feeling! Only first month trying since m/c but with the multiple attempts and using softcups too, which have always worked in the past, I just wasn't expecting a bfn. I always knew that I would struggle hugely if we didn't get pregnant on this first proper attempt so we gave it our all!

Oh I know what you mean. I thought there was some scientific reason. You will, girl. I have been trying with two attempt in fertile window the last 3 mos and bfn :( I haven't had a Mc but I can relate to you on giving in everything and still nothing!!

Tell me how you use soft cups? I'm thinking about giving them a try this month? Do you lay there for a while before inserting it? Why do you choose soft cup over diva cup? (Sorry so many questions)

I feel like I'll never get pregnant and I think it's so negative for the process. I added yoga and a fertility mediation from YouTube to hopefully change my thoughts. I only do it 10 minutes a day before my kids are up. The first two months of swaying we dtd from 2-0 to O and I didn't get pregnant so it's tough to swallow.

Good luck next month! I'm sorry it's playing out this way for you.

When we used them for DS2, I put it in before getting up. I used soft cups because they sat up higher against the cervix than the diva cup.

This is end of my swaying journey ladies, me and dh have decided if we get a bfn this month then a 3rd dc just wasn't meant to be. I don't want to sway anymore and I didn't want to ttc unless I was swaying - even if I ended up with another ds I would at least know we tried our best for a dd. This would be the last cycle that would give me a due date around my 38th bday and dh's 45th and we just dont want to be any older than that if we were to have another baby. So I'm extra glad we had the other attempt and I'm really at peace with throwing in the towel and having life get back to normal :)

With dd2 I had 2 attempts and an IUI in the fertile window. For me it was all about my diet and overall lifestyle. Obviously that's not fool proof but just so you know it can happen!

I know exactly how you are feeling this is month 7 for me and have done everything right, clomid, triggers shot, I'm all good DHs sperm is all good, multiple attempts every month and still nothing. So frustrating so I'm moving onto low cost IVF.

13-14 days. It's coming I'm pretty sure. I was restless last night so I think my temp rise was just a fluke.

I understand what you mean ab wanting to get life back to normal. But I so hope this is your month!!!! I wish I could quit obsessing and just let it go but I can't right now. I think that's why DS2 was concieved first month. We were under no pressure and I had never temped or anything.

[ImmiNAddi]

Sorry Foxcub, big hugs to you xx

I tested this morning (8dpo) big fat negative...... I don't think it will happen this month, just a feeling I have. I'm usually feeling a bit icky in the mornings at this stage, but I feel fine.
Will try a frer again tomorrow and again at 10dpo then wait for at to arrive.

Good evening ladies. Had zero time to get online the past couple of days and am so super stressed over work lately too. So not girl friendly!! Thankfully the stress should ease up after tomorrow!! FXed!!!

Today is CD6 for me and am not sure we are going to get to attempt this cycle either! I was on an anti biotic recently and now have a yeast infection which I unknowingly passed to DH so unprotected dtd is off the cards til we are both in the clear!! Have ordered CB smiley opks so should know more this monthly than last month anyway. Am hoping my regular longer cycles kick back into effect after my short one last month but only time will tell. Trying to be ok with this curve ball but it's hard!

Sending you all the best this month hun, you have given it your all and I must say fair play to you for making the decision to have a cut off time for when to stop trying. Really hoping this is your month though xxx

[Quinn31]

Ladies, I know how you feel. My dd2 took over a year to conceive. I started off swaying blue and dropped everything by the time she was conceived. I talk about it a lot but the bfn's really took a toll on me and have made ttc this time seem like a dream that will never happen. I envy that you are at peace with your decision. I feel like I won't stop until dh makes me. He's 44 so we won't try past March. Keeping positive thoughts can be so difficult!! Hopefully this is your bfp and you don't have to consider anything else!!

Time to focus on my boys and be thankful for the wonderful family we have. I just know its time to stop :) I have everything crossed for you even though you're not feeling it!!

Oh pbn wouldn't that be amazing!! Everything crossed for a bucket load of BFPs this month and next month so we can all move over to the due June/July/August thread!!!! I am feeling so inspired by you and Immi right now, thank you ladies!! X

Hoping to try this month but honestly am so sick of swaying have had more cheats than not since back from vacation. Cardio is all but gone out the window. With my new job finding the time on top of everything else is just proving impossible! And have really been beating myself up over the Lack of cardio!! I don't like who I am right now, I don't like my detached-ness (so not a word!!) I don't like my obsessiveness (definitely not a word either!!) I just want to be done. I think that's why the surprise AF hit me so hard last cycle, cause I wanted to be done and just have the whole swaying process taken out of my hands!

[Pbn3]

Aww magical thank you! I'm not sure about ivf price I hope someone can give you an idea of what you'd be looking at. Fx you just wont need it!!

Hopper try and stay positive :) if it makes you feel better I basically cheated the entire 2ww last cycle and one before! Completely understand how you're feeling about yourself not being yourself - ttc is hard enough without the swaying element! Stay strong!

[netti02]

I truly hope this is your month pbn. I think its great (and brave) that you could come to a decision and be at peace with it.

Ive certainly held my boys a little tighter the last few days ever thankful for the miracle that they are. Its certainly calmed me abit.

Hopper ikwym hang in there. I think most of us have our cheat days. Im getting back to focusing on a few things i repeatedly do each cycle which is snack, not enough exercise and jumping the gun whenever i see a line on an opk no matter how dark it is 😂 maybe focus on a few things this cycle rather than feeling its all a bust 😊

Sorry af arrived foxcubblue

ImmiNAddi fx theres still a bfp there for you xx

Magical im not sure with ivf except theres greater chance of twins 😀

What is the 'indent' line that I have heard people talk about? I couldn't help myself and used a dip test about 30mins ago (first response brand) and now I can see (maybe) a tiny (I'm talking tiny!!!) start and end of a 'maybe' line on the test... Is that an indent line? Like where the line would show if it were there?
:confused:

[netti02]

Im not sure unless i were to see it ImmiNAddi.

The tests i did over the wkend had faint lines but they were on a few different tests so im just assuming it didn't stick. These were very faint lines and i at first thought they may be indent/evap lines.

FX its the real deal though xx

I think it's when the line has no color. I swore I had a bfp once but there was no color and af started. I think it actually looked like an indented line.

Oh and again, I know I say this a lot but I'm an le girl and the queen of cheating. Sometimes I'd feel like a hamburger and I actually did light exercise with my second.

Heygirls, im going to join you. This is our 2nd month of ttc. The first i was coming off mirena (tested opk) every day but was unsure how ling it would take. We were doing e4days but that got messed up when hubby had to go out of town. We dtd monday and i got abpos opk that day. 1 day after stopping vitex and saw palmetto. Today i tried to tezt but had a lot to drink and both tests looked washed out. Cramps woke me up last night and i can feel a little bit tonight but not much. Sat. Would have been 2 weeks from af and im usuually 26-28 days. Would u tey to dts again or leave it?

[Pbn3]

Hi dpike and welcome! Are you swaying blue or pink? Do you have any other signs that you're about to o as in fertile cm? Any chance you can do a hold now and do another opk in a couple hours?

Purple- off ebay meant to be here by today. Ive sent a message so hopefully they arrive soon. I have a 5 pack of pregnosis clear that ive hidden and 5 opks left.

I'll have to search around for a chemist warehouse and find some decent priced opks

Yeah mine were from ebay too but depends on thr seller. I ordered sone others with opks from another seller and they arrived fast.

The opks I got were $15 for 10 + a bonus pregnosis hpt.

I didn't realise your DS4 was still so young. That could have something to do with your cycles still adjusting. I hope you get some answers!

I just got told at lunch I need to have a girl... this woman normally likes to remind me every few months.
Another woman at work told me she is 8 weeks pregnant today. For some reason I had a feeling she was pregnant.

Pbn3 and anyone else who is thinking about giving up TTC because you can no longer sway-- As someone who has been swaying since February 2014, has had a miscarriage during that time, and has a DH who wants no more children and pulls out every time we DTD, you can still sway very lightly and get a girl. It happens all the time, here and IRL. I know in my heart that if I accidently got pregnant (and I did both times with DS1 and DS2) with zero sway I would 100% have another boy and that thought makes me so sad, so I knew I had to keep up some kind of "sway" until I either got back on the pill (not happening) or DH got a vasectomy. There's no way I could continue a super strict sway like I did when I got pregnant the 3rd time (miscarriage) but I could do a few things that sway girl and not do things that sway heavily boy.

As a classic boy mom I used to take daily multivitamins, probiotics, fish oil, vitamin D, and b-complex. I used to drink green or white tea daily. I never drank alcohol, coffee, or diet drinks. Cutting out the vitamins and tea and adding coffee and a daily diet soda with a shot of vodka were easy for me. So I continue with that. It doesn't take much effort.

I continue taking a spoonful of cinnamon a day in a single serve applesauce as this is easy too. It's my "dessert!"

DH continues to take OLE (since I'm in charge of his vitamins)

I've never been into exercise, and could barely keep up with my cardio when I was swaying hardcore, so I am a couch potato. Two of my best friends that have all girls don't exercise either.

With regards to the LE diet, there's no way I can count out all my calories, protein, fat every day or eat vegetarian so I don't do that. I got extremely iron deficient after doing the LE diet and having my miscarriage so I continue to eat meat daily to help my iron. My best friend is a vegetarian and has all boys and my 3 friends who have all girls all eat meat, so I don't think you have to cut out meat to get a girl. My friends with all girls do eat little red meat, so while I do eat red meat, I try and limit it to the TWW. Skipping breakfast has always been easy for me so I keep that up. No snacking is easy for me so I do that as well and stick to 2 meals a day. I have 1 serving of full fat dairy a day-- heavy cream in my cappuccino! I used to snack on nuts, beef jerky, and full fat yogurt, but now if I'm going to snack it will be with something sugary like candy! I used to eat a lot of salmon, now I buy white fish.

I don't worry about when to DTD. I use Preseed to help out any swimmers that may have escaped.

It's an extremely manageable "light sway" but it's still A LOT of changes from when I got pregnant with my boys. My advice for anyone thinking of giving up TTC, is to just pick a few girl friendly lifestyle changes that you can do without thinking and avoid a few of the biggest boy swayers. Because like Atomic says, so many people get fed up and stop swaying completely and all of a sudden BAM, they're pregnant right away with an opposite. It's always better to do a very manageable light sway then to give up everything (unless you're 100% ok with an opposite that is).

Good luck to everyone and I totally get the urge to throw in the towel!

Well put essnce. I got very caught up in the beginning about every little thing but ive decided im sticking with what i can do and a little more if i can. Fingers X it does the trick.

Purple- i hope i havent got dud tests. I'll have to have another look on ebay. Im starting to think my body is ironing out. I did have ds3 and 4 quite close together so its likely my body is saying break time 😂😂😂

Essnce thank you for your post and sharing your story. I'm so sorry you've had such a difficult ttc journey and truly hope it ends in a bfp sooner than later!

[kkkk37]

This is end of my swaying journey ladies, me and dh have decided if we get a bfn this month then a 3rd dc just wasn't meant to be. I don't want to sway anymore and I didn't want to ttc unless I was swaying - even if I ended up with another ds I would at least know we tried our best for a dd. This would be the last cycle that would give me a due date around my 38th bday and dh's 45th and we just dont want to be any older than that if we were to have another baby. So I'm extra glad we had the other attempt and I'm really at peace with throwing in the towel and having life get back to normal :)

I hope you will get Bfp.

Thank you Essnce, really needed that encourgement and reminder that I don't have to kill myself over this sway, just sticking with some of the changes already puts me in a much better place than when I conceived my girls. This group is such a blessing for support and finding people who totally get what you are feeling. It is so difficult not to get consumed by the whole thing and find it dictating your life and also to not just wish time away with waiting to o then waiting to test. Must enjoy the blessings and wonderful children I already have! I'm allowing myself one morning of feeling sorry for myself and that is it!

PBN, praying you get your BFP this cycle but also pleased that you are so at peace with your decision.

Y'ALL!!!
I am in complete shock! I have always ready stories of people throwing in the towel, not thinking they were pregnant! Well, now I am proof that happens! I woke up this morning and my temp spiked again. I stumbled into the bathroom to take a test, heart wasn't even racing like normal, I knew it was negative. I couldn't clear my eyes bc I sleep in my contacts. Well, this line popped right up! BABY P #3 is on the way!!!! Thank you, Jesus!!! I cannot believe this.
