Sorry it's a bfn Momamia. :( I still have my FX it's still too early.
I've noticed my temps have been flat for several days now (consistently at 97.7), could it mean my hormones are in balance? My temps usually go up and down day to day so maybe it's a good thing they're not fluctuating? I tried taking my temp much later in the day to see what it would be and I got a different reading so I don't think it's a problem with my thermometer.

Could be. Mine tends to hover around the same low temp before O and then the I noticed in my bfp cycle, it hovered at the same high temp after O.

Hello, thought I would move over from October 2ww. Now 11 dpo after our first month of ttc a girl. Was very strict with first attempt and will be amazed if it has worked. I have long irregular cycles so AF could be due any time from Monday next week to Friday. Couldn't resist any longer so did a clear blue test yesterday and it was a bfn, but I am planning to test again to be sure on Monday.

Sorry to hear that Ttc....FX still.
Holy space balls these sharp pains and heartburn that feels like someone is stabbing me is really trying to take me down for the count. I'm Exhausted!!! In other news my temps went up again.

Signingmommy, sounds like good stuff to me!! :)
I'm considering not testing tomorrow and waiting until Sunday. I'll pretty much know by then anyway because I always start spotting the day before af.

Oh no momamia and ttc! Really sorry for the bfns! Hopefully it is just a late one for you guys this month!! X
CD9 here and holy HELL my BBs are killing me. Last cycle they were excruciatingly painful for maybe 2-3 days before I got the solid smiley opk but I know last cycle wasn't the norm so I'm not going off that really. Had our first attempt for this cycle last night so will try have another on Sunday night to go with the e3d thing. Feeling a little crampy but opk still negative. Test line is still quite dark though, would love early O! It's DHs birthday on Monday and if we conceived on his birthday my due date would be the day before my 34th birthday next year :) A girl can dream right ;)

CD19 today and still no ovulation. I'm starting to hate taking OPKs LOL I don't know why I'm so annoyed though because I don't usually ovulate this early. I guess I was just hoping for another early ov. like last cycle. *sigh* For a week now my temp has been at 97.7. It's so weird my temp has been staying even for so long.

I'm sorry momamia for temp drop and AF. Maybe something good will come out of your break (like an unexpected BFP). Your chart looked so good too.
So my temps, though went down, are looking okay. I am still crampy, makes it 11 days of crampy and I'm 7dpo. Still have heartburn and nausea, last night was a trip to the bathroom. DH really thinks I'm pregnant but I don't want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed and the Flu is going around at work.

Do you know if you have PCOS? My cycles have all had mid-cycles spotting/bleeding this year and recently it was confirmed I have PCOS. I had been told in the past I didn't have it and I'm also in the healthy weight range so it is sometimes assumed you have to be overweight but that isn't the case.
Anyway, my FS has put me on metformin to try to sort out the hormone imbalance. He said that is what is causing the spotting and long cycles.
Hopefully the spotting won't last long and you ovulate soon!!

As far as I know I don't have PCOS. In the past I didn't really have much of a problem with mid-cycle spotting until I had kids so I think being postpartum and breastfeeding messed with that. More recently though I think it's the diet and excessive exercise screwing my cycles up. Atomic thinks what happened was my body geared up so many times to ovulate but couldn't, so I had breakthrough bleeding that I thought were AF. I think a combo of being very underweight, exercising a bunch, eating LE, and breastfeeding my toddler were just too much for my body so ovulation stopped. I'm working to correct it though. I actually got some EWCM today so I'm cautiously optimistic. FX!

You could also be having ovulation spotting, it is another secondary symptom for ovulation.

November 7th, 2015, 11:15 PM
Signingmommy, I'm *hoping* that's what it is, especially since it was red streaked EWCM but I don't want to get my hopes up. The past few months each time I've had spotting it turns into what looks like a light period and then ovulation doesn't happen.

Everything crossed hun!! Yay for being post-O! I think that's a good enough attempt, have seen quite a few O day attempts lately so hopefully you will join those ranks this month! What day did you end up Oing hun? Did you prop your hips after the attempt? ;) x
AFM I'm on CD11 and opks are still the exact same as they were on CD6. The test line is quite strong but not positive. CM starting to turn a bit watery but CP still firm and closed. O pains have started but I usually get them for about a week prior to actual O so don't think it will be a birthday conception lol. Definitely wishful thinking. Tomorrow will make our attempt e4d as last dtd was Thursday but after that I think we will do e3d. The boys are ill again, this time with a stomach bug so really hoping we can find time to fit in a quick attempt tomorrow when DH gets home! I'm SO tired and feel a little ill myself - sexy right haha!

Thankyou! It looks like O was CD18 with my temp jump, presuming it now stays higher [emoji4] what will be will be I guess, I would have been happier with O-1 attempt but like you said there have been a few On O day so you just never know your luck :)

I haven't had it before until this year but I have always had irregular cycles. My body does the same thing with trying to ovulate where I get EWCM and a LH surge but not quite enough to ovulate. For me it is PCOS causing it but it sounds like it could be other factors for you, being underweight would make it harder to ovulate. Good luck!

Hopper, hopefully you will o soon! Do you usually get quite strong opk test line many days before +opk? Hopefully your boys will get well soon. I know how exhausting it can be when kids are ill often. Our DS1 has fever about every 3-5 weeks :(
I'm waiting for af. I've had the feeling it would arrive soon about three days now. Maybe today? Of course I hope af wouldn't arrive and would be just amazing to be pregnant but I really don't think that's the case this cycle. I'm 6dpo.
I'm just so fed up with LE right know. I just want to eat everything in sight lol. Today we have Father's day and I just wish I could eat all the delicious food and desserts but I'm staying strict.. I had a cheat night a week ago when we had a girls night out. There will be many girls night outs in the upcoming few weeks and little worried I'm going to have too many cheat nights but oh well. I've been on quite strict LE for 19 weeks now. Never thought I could do it when I first found this site snd started to learn about swaying and LE diet!

Hopper it sounds like ovulation will come fairly soon for you! Hope your boys feel better soon. Mine both have a cold right now and had the stomach flu just a few weeks ago.
Sorry for the bfn ttc2015 :(
2xblue, I hope this is your month! Sometimes feeling like AF is coming can be a good sign. :) I had the worst cramps with my last bfp cycle. FX for you! I totally get being fed up with LE. I've been on it for 25 weeks and I'm so over it (and the exercise)! I just want to eat whenever and whatever I want. We have Thanksgiving coming up soon and I so desperately want to be able to gorge on turkey and pie! lol We must have some strong willpower to be LE for so long!
CD20 for me today and still no O but my temp broke its pattern of being 97.7 for the past week so it's not flat anymore! lol Had a little more pink streaked ewcm this morning so I'm still hoping that maybe just maybe it's a good sign of O (please?!). I bought the CB advanced digital OPKs yesterday ($40!!) and forgot to use my FMU so I squeezed out what I could an hour later LOL I don't know if that still counts or not. It was neg. but I don't know if it needs a "baseline" to go by in order for it to detect a surge in my estrogen and LH first? I used them when we were TTC DS2 and I got a neg. the first time I used it then the next day got a "high" reading. I really need to O soon not just for sanity's sake but also because DH is getting a little restless and can't contain his friskiness much longer. :giggle: Has anyone else's libido pretty much died since going LE?

My cycles used to be regular, like clockwork every 35 days exactly I'd get AF but since my early 20s they've been irregular, even before having kids. Sometimes I do wonder if I could have PCOS tendencies because I noticed when TTC our first, my body would gear up to O a couple of times before being able to do it. I was so close to seeing a doctor about it but just a couple of days before one year of TTC, I found out I was pregnant so I figured it wasn't an issue at that point. I was a healthier weight back then and ate pretty well so I don't know why my body struggled to ovulate.

What is everyone doing to relax? That's my main goal this cycle. I'm naturally anxious and my job is stressful so I'm constantly stressed all day. I started doing fertility yoga poses for about 10 minutes after my morning workout. Any other ideas? I have a hard time shutting my mind off once it starts going.

I get being anxious! Waiting for ovulation to happen is about as stressful as the TWW. I've been watching movies I enjoy to pass the time. I also love to bake so I've been doing that a lot. I send it all to work with DH so I'm not tempted! lol His co-workers love me. ;) It's still a bit hard for me to relax completely though because DH is working 70+ hours a week right now and it's just me taking care of the littles. I think doing anything you enjoy will help like relaxing in a hot bath, listening to music, doing puzzles...whatever it is you like!

So I'm a little concerned.. AF isn't due till Wednesday. And normally I'm like clockwork.. 28 day cycle every month. Well today I had one clot of pink-ish mucous and nothing else.. No period. No other mucous... Just one clump of thick pink mucous.. :( I know I'd only be 2 weeks along- but could that have been a miscarriage??? Since im there's no sign of AF?? :( yet anyways.

I doubt it's a miscarriage as you'd likely wouldn't start bleeding until after your period is due, though not always with chemicals. I don't think that's what is happening though. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought and it's implantation bleeding or it could be the start of AF. I hope it's the former!

Sorry Nann I have no idea. Sorry for your bfn this month
I'm 13 dpo. AF due anytime from Monday to Friday, I'm v irregular, think it will appear mid week. Used one if those digital tests and it said not pregnant so that seems pretty conclusive! Just bought lots of different tests online so I'm better prepared next month! I was kind of expecting it to not work first time as had been so strict, but with my boys I got bfps straight away so part of me wasn't expecting it if that makes sense! Does anyone use rephresh or lube? Someone mentioned that they can really cut odds of conception?
ksmom
November 8th, 2015, 12:58 PM
I think a lot of ladies have dropped using rephresh and any other lubes that hinder conception. One attempt seems to be far more effective at swaying pink. I think using lubes on top of one attempt is just too much and doesn't leave enough sperm.
XXforhubby
November 8th, 2015, 01:01 PM
I HAVE to use a lube for comfort TTCing or not. You can use a tiny amount of Sylk or any lube of your choice, if you need it for comfort. As far as using it to for swaying purposes, most don't use them anymore as the previous poster stated.
I just don't want you to think no one uses lubes- some people need them to make BDing tolerable!

ksmom, thank you really hope that would be the case but still I doubt it. I remember when I was pregnant for the first time I felt all the time like af would arrive before making a pregnancy test. I went running today and could only run for about 30min because I had strange feeling in my tummy. Lots of pressure. Had to walk the rest 30min. I think it's just af making it's way (I remember when I got pregnant with DS2 I had this pressure too before making a test BUT still I'm not getting my hopes up at all). Last cycle my lp was 7 days. Now I'm dpo6, I hope lp will be atleast little bit longer than last cycle. I'm cd28 today. My cycles have been 27 days so this is good I'm already cd28 lol. But I o'd later this cycle than last one.
Yes we swayers have alot of will power for sure! We don't have Thanksgiving here, next holiday celebration is Christmas for me and I really really want to be pregnant by then! Lol.
Ksmom, hope you will o soon, both for your and dh's sake lol! I've had pretty much no libido after DS2 was born, but this month something has happened as I've felt I would be really in the mood for bd haha!
Quinn, have you tried coloring books for adults? They are quite popular here now so I bought one when started swaying as they say it should be relaxing but haven't colored much lol.
Nann, hopefully it's implantation! Fx!
Ttc, you are not out yet until af arrives. I used Rephresh in my first cycle ttc but I dropped it after that as I don't want to cut odds of conception too much. But lube is fine if needed!
Hopper, I'd wait until +opk. Maybe it will be tomorrow?
mammacass
November 8th, 2015, 04:03 PM
Ttc2015 in regards to lube I have used a little sylk last 2 cycles but not this attempt as I wanted to try without. When I conceived DS3 I used rephresh, sylk and Acigel with a 3 day cutoff lol I think it depends on the individual - for some it's ok and others it is known to really cut the odds of conception I guess if you are wanting to get pregnant quickly I wouldn't use it :)

It's building up for sure hopper, but not quite there, maybe see what the next test in the morning is like, Is DH only away for tonight?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He's away til tomorrow morning (though he hinted earlier he might get home tonight but I'm so tired with sick little men I won't be awake to meet him!) if its a +opk tomorrow morning we MIGHT be able to get an attempt in in the afternoon. Otherwise it'd be tomorrow evening.
What I'm wondering now is since we are doing e3d should we have the attempt tomorrow (which would put us at e4d as he's been away the weekend) regardless of how the opk looks? I mean going by previous cycles my body could be messing me around so I'm sure sticking with the e3d plan is the way to go. It would be the BUSINESS if the opk was + tomorrow lol!! Not asking for much :P
Nann so sorry AF arrived, really was hoping it was IB! :(

Thanks mammacass! I'm thinking O is definitely approaching, CP has raised up very high which is usually a couple days prior to O. It hasn't softened very much yet so I have a couple of days to go for sure. Glad DH isn't here now, I am so tired after this weekend! DS1 will be kept home from preschool tomorrow again, he is really unwell poor guy :( And I really don't feel great myself. Hope that the illness I feel brewing holds off and doesn't end up delaying O for me!!

Well November is slow coming, not many people here either. Sorry you all for AF. Ks it sounds good.
My temps dropped again and the symptoms I had are gone so I think I'm right to convince myself that I'm out. AF should be here Saturday or Sunday next week.

Sorry Af got you Nann :(
Jumping into the lube topic, we normally use a little bit to help for comfort too. I have been using sylk and conceived this year with it but decided to get some sperm friendly stuff instead. I got the fertile care brand and it is terrible. Its so gluggy so I don't know how it helps sperm. I should have just got some preseed but its pricey!
I'm pretty tender at the moment around my ovaries and it was uncomfortable BDing, I'm remembering why I wasn't so keen to do clomid again after the last time! At least it feels like I should ovulate soon. Not temping this cycle but might try some Opks to decide if I should BD Wednesday or Thursday. Going away with the family (my parents, bro, sis and their families) so not sure how we will go getting any attempts in on the weekend. Just going to get one more in before and hope for the best!

Diet went completely out the window, getting really fed up of it now. This is my 4th month actively trying but 7th month without any birth control.

Just a quick butt in here mammacass but did you have much fertile cm around this time or were you checking cp/texture? I remember your last chart being quick tricky is all.... as for lines on opks after you get a definate positive you should have oed within 48 hours. In saying that what time were you taking them? I only ask as I had terrible trouble with dip read opks, using first response brand I had positives for four mornings after I oed (via temping and digitals ages ago, was unsure if I'd oed or not - I had) but an afternoon test would show negative....

Much appreciated Pbn [emoji4] I had EWCM and slight crampiness CD16 and 17 and thinking I Od CD18, and had .2 temp rise, my OPKS that I have done at CD19 and today CD20 have a second line visible (first I've ever seen haha) but it's not a positive so maybe I'm just gearing up to O then?

Went to my first appointment with an RE last week, really like them and looking forward to getting some of the numbers back this week from my bloodwork. They said due to my age that they want to be aggressive with the plans, they offered Clomid right away. I am still researching and trying to decide if we want to take it, 1 in 10 chance of twins is a little scary (DH's mother is a twin, identical so it shouldn't be hereditary but it still in the back of my head, lol). I would be OK if we had twins naturally but to take the drugs and up the chances is something different. They also mentioned IUI, doing an HSG, and doing a sperm analysis on DH. He's not to happy about that but I think he will do it; I won't do an HSG ( which I hear can be painful) until he does that, don't want to go through the procedure unless I have to.
As soon as I get a positive OPK, which I hope will be today or tomorrow, I have to go get blood taken to check my numbers. Since I am mid cycle we are just going to monitor the bloodwork and see what the numbers are like before making the Clomid decision. Finally bought a customized plan from Atomic a week ago and going to add a few of her suggestions into this month.
Fingers crossed this is everybody's BFP month!

Glad to see you pbn!!! Fx for those who are now in 2WW.
Well 9dpo and took a test, bfn, though I know it's way to early for me to test, I've always BFP late. I'm still crampy, day 13 of crampiness :worry: and another trip to the bathroom last night. I keep going back and forth thinking this will finally be out month and then convincing myself that I'm out because I do t want to be disappointed. I guess no matter how much I want to convince myself so I don't get disappointed I still hope I'm totally wrong. I'm going to wait to test till Nov 14 or 15 like I originally planned since that's when AF is supposed to come.

Thanks Poptart. Doesn't sound very pleasant at all:( I keep hoping that I get a BFP this month so we don't have to go through all the testing and have to make the decision to use or not to use Clomid. I guess I will just wait and see how my bloodwork levels are when they come back.
Do you worry about the increased chances of multiples? The idea of twins doesn't really bother me except the fact of the $$ for daycare would be crazy!!!

Poptart cd6 instead of 9 oh I feel your pain. Waiting to O is possibly worse than the TWW!!
Lauren I hope you catch that eggie this month! 4 days flashing before a solid is surely a good thing!!
Keeping everything crossed that your feeling is right mammacass!! Am hoping we nail it (lol pun wasn't initially intended!) with regards to timing this cycle!!
Am CD12 and had attempt this evening. Having lots of O pain and backache plus a lot more CM than last month's. Had the big O during our attempt!! I really couldn't help myself! Trying not to think about it now. CP is high and softening but not open yet. Would love a + in the morning but if I get a + the day after it would be an O-3 attempt which I wouldn't be overly happy about.
Opks are still negative though they are surely close. Tests from this AM with FMU and this PM after a 5 hour hold. 28366

Lauren, please have an attempt tonight and again in 4 days!!!! After TTC for so long you really shouldn't be having long periods of abstaining. It isn't good for sperm health (how old is your DH?) and it makes it so easy to miss O. I'd switch to every 4 days now and continue till either AF arrives or you get a BFP!

We planned on doing e4d this cycle but time slipped away from us this week. We will bd again in 4 days and def do e4d next cycle if this isn't our month. Dh is 33 and although we didn't bd every 4 days this month, he did help himself every 4 days so as far as speed quality goes I think we should be okay. I hope. I want a temp rise tomorrow morning right? Or the next day? I haven't felt ANY O Pains at all but we dtd around lunch today.

So after thinking I was getting close to O and having strong opk lines since CD6 I wake up this AM to get a very light test line compared to previous tests. I wonder why my body gears up to O and then just doesn't - I hope it will gear up again but actually release the eggie! CD 13 today, would be an early O for me anyway lol.

I'm still very tender from the clomid and pretty sure I will ovulate tomorrow or the next day. I was considering BDing tonight but it would make it attempts every 2 days so I will wait until tomorrow. After comparing my last OPK from last month the one I took today isn't quite as dark so it might be better to hold off. I just feel nervous about only having an O-3 attempt if I do O tomorrow.

If they said I wouldn't get pregnant without it after seeing my bloodwork, I would totally use it, multiples or not. I believe I read it has a 1 in 10 chance of twins on it but with me being older I am not sure of those odds go up.
I think you're right the odds go up! Best to check first and weigh up your options. How have your bloods etc come back looking? Have you had a hormone profile done? X

Mammacass, I'm sure that being unwell is actually a good thing for a pink sway??!!! I have read about a few people who conceived girls (who weren't swaying, had given up and got unexpected bfps) who were unwell immediately after and unable to eat etc. I'm sure I have read that this can increase your chances of getting a pink one! Sorry you are feeling rotten though x

Still waiting on the results from the bloodwork they took at the end of last week, hopefully I will hear something today. When I due finally get a +OPK I will be going in for more bloodwork.
Currently CD16 and not seeing anything close to positive OPK's yet, and of course DH will be gone from Thursday - Sat or Sunday. Figures I was sick last week so I think that is delaying O and DH won't be around when I do O. I will make sure we get attempts in tonight, maybe tomorrow night and then definitely Thursday morning before he leaves and hope the swimmers survive.
I asked Atomic about Clomid and twins and she said they haven't had hardly any TTC boy sway people having twins. She also said most people that take Clomid have PCOS and having PCOS increases your chances of twins just by itself, so since I don't have that I am not as worried. If it happens, it happens. I am waiting to get my FSH number before making a final decision about the Clomid.

Oh Immi I'm so, so sorry. :( I understand wanting to give it one more go. I hope we get our rainbow babies very soon. :big hug:
Hopper, is it possible you did actually ovulate but it was just a short or weak surge so you didn't get a definite pos. OPK? Sometimes you can get OPKs that are *almost* positive and then they fade to really light then bam, blazing positive a few days later.
Mamacass, sorry you're feeling like crud. I do believe feeling sick is good for a girl sway though. ;)
CD22 for me today. Got a blinking smiley on CB advanced OPK this morning and my cheapie OPKs were getting darker yesterday. Not holding out much hope though. LOL My body loves to play tricks on me. We're doing E4D with my cycles being so irregular and the last time we DTD was two days ago so I'm a bit nervous if I end up with an O-3 attempt but we'll see. I got pregnant last time on O-3 however I think that was either pure luck or I o'ed a little later than I thought.

Immi I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. Fx you get a BFP as soon as possible.
Ksmom blinks sounds close. Sorry your feeling down mamacass.
Well 10dpo and still bfn. Promising myself I won't test again until AF is supposed to come because I hate seeing the negative. I still go back and forth, I'm pregnant and the test isn't showing yet and then remind myself that my body could be just gearing up for AF and I'll be disappointed. Still crampy to the point it's hurting my back now and still nauseous as all get out. Chart is looking good though. I want to cry because I want it to be all our months.

Hi all. I just had +OPKs on Sunday and Monday, CD14 and CD15. We DTD Sunday night, and then again Monday night. We are swaying pink, but I felt like I needed the second attempt. This is our 2nd month swaying. I didn't get much EWCM this month, which is weird for me, and that is making me worried. I'll wait until 13-14dpo to test.

Oh signing I do see something there on both tests!! Fingers crossed for you!!
So test line on opks is practically gone, all cramping has stopped and CM is gone. This is exactly what happened last month except I got the solid smiley opk whereas I didn't get a solid line on the Wondfo this cycle. The closest to solid lines I got was on CD12 and we dtd that PM but line was gone in the AM so hoping IF that was O we didn't miss it!! Hopefully my body is just messing with me and I will have a strong O later in my cycle!

Hi ladies, can I ask a question? I'm swaying boy and had an almost positive opk this morning so we dtd. I have O'd the same day as a positive opk and two days later so I'm not really sure when it happens and I was nervous. Did we dtd too early? I was planning on dtd tomorrow morning as well but should we dtd tonight too? I'm not really sure how sperm replenishes.

Question girls - how long does SHOW last during O, like on average? My opk this AM was neg, had some cramping and a (tmi lol) gush of CM so I did a 4 hour hold and another opk. The test line is showing stronger again and when I checked CP which was high and generally medium last night it was soft high and open. The opk isn't + YET but if we are doing e3d our last attempt was two days ago so am hoping its not +ive til tomorrow!! I will continue my POAS addiction later lmbo!!
In other news my GD reared its f-ugly head this morning!! :( I mostly have it under control except under certain circumstances. A really really good friend of mine had her gender scan this AM. She has a little boy at home same age as DS1. Her DH brought her on a night away and they just decided to try for #2 and boom she was pg with one try. Of course shes having a girl and told me on FB earlier. I dunno why but PP families set me off. A few of our friends have PP families and they were all repeating the same phrases that she has "the perfect family now" and that they "knew she could do it" Argh, just annoyed me that it sparked my GD!

Hi everyone alot to catch up on!
Quinn they say 'typically' sperm takes 36-48 hours to recover but also that that is just a best estimation and can vary. From what I've read anyway so there will be varying reports. I'm only just appreciating how hard boy sway attempts are now! All I can say is with both my ds's I had multiple attempts - the first was by using fertility calculator online so I cant even say exactly how many attempts, the second ds I had attempts 3 days (pm) b4 o, day b4 o (pm) and morning of o. I would just do what you can and get an attempt in every 24-48 hours until you o. Sorry I'm not more help.
Signing I can absolutely see something on your tests!! Congratulations and cant wait for your next update!
I need to go back through and reread posts as I know I've missed some so I'll be back :) - especially yours hopper!
Right now although I seem happy I could just cry my eyes out. I ditched opks and temping to do every 3 days this cycle in order to minimize stress etc and as a bonus dh started on annual leave today. Tonight was supposed to be our first night dtd as af finished yesterday. Dh has been in bed for 2 hours, and I am still up trying to get ds1 to sleep at 10.40pm at night. ANY other night he'd be well asleep so I'm just going to have to take him to bed and give up any semblence of an attempt tonight. Doesn't help we still co sleep but he always nods off in his room or on the couch :( except tonight of course. I could literally

Signingmommy, I see a very faint line! :D The same thing happened to me last cycle. I took a test at 9dpo, didn't get a chance to look at it for another hour and there was a suuuuper faint line so I drove myself crazy staring at it all day. Next day, BFP! FX for you!!
Hopper, I'd keep taking OPKs just in case. If you did ovulate, I hope you caught the eggie! I don't know how long SHOW lasts....maybe 3-4 days? For me it can go on for several days but I also have trouble ovulating.
I get annoyed too when people get their PP. I have a friend who has a DS1 the same age as my DS2 and as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she insisted it was a girl. As in there was no way it could ever be a boy because she wanted a girl and that's what she felt it was. Well, it's a girl. Of course I got upset because not only did she get the girl she wanted but it was also an "oopsie" baby while here I am eating LE for 6 months and exercising my butt off on the off chance I could maybe, possibly, but probably not get a girl. *sigh* I really hope we both get our little pink bundles we've worked so hard for.
Quinn, when in doubt hump it out. I'm kidding...sorta. :rofl: I'm not exactly sure what is recommended for a blue sway but I know for my DS1 we DTD every day for a week(!) until O and with DS2 our attempts were O-4, O-2, and O-1. Since you DTD this morning, I'd wait until tomorrow to do it again.
PBN, don't lose heart yet. I've got everything crossed for you this cycle.
As for me, I'm on CD23 and had another blinking smiley on the advanced OPK. I'll take a reg. OPK this afternoon. Woke up sick as a dog this morning with my throat being so sore and swollen. :( Since I started swaying, whenever I've gotten sick around O, my body pulls the plug on ovulating. Ugh. I hope I can still ovulate despite being ill.

The sharp pains in my right side concern me though. :worry: I asked for a sign yesterday that I'm not crazy and this was my month and I would relax and stop being so anxious...I think my faint lines were just that and so in going to relax for a few days before testing again.

My temps haven't been accurate at all because i dropped my thermometer one day and had to get up to find it forever before temping one day, and then I got horrible sleep the other day. I don't think my temp has risen but I honestly can't be sure. Loads of EWCM today.... So is our attempt too far out if I ovulate at some point today?

We had attempts this morning and will tonight and tomorrow morning as well since DH will be leaving tomorrow morning and not coming back until Saturday or Sunday. So fingers crossed for a + test today!
Got 2 of my bloodtest results back yesterday from the RE and they were both in the normal range; Just waiting on one more test to finish. They did say if I didn't get a +OPK by Friday I would have to get bloodwork taken to see were my levels are.

It's funny Quinn, I get the the same and I have 3 boys. So many women I know openly "pity" me!!! I guess I'm over sensitive but I really feel that where I live girls are valued much more than boys, all the stereotypes are positives for girls (quiet, calm, well behaved, lady like etc etc) and negative for boys (noisy, our of control, dirty, slower to learn etc etc) which really bugs me as I know this is a load of nonsense and people are just lazy with this!!!! Especially those who have one of each ('oh they are SO different, because they are different genders' - no, all kids are different because they are freaking individuals!!!!) I actually think there are so many positives about having more than one child of the same gender. Rant over!

Lauren if you do ovulate today it would still be an attempt in your fertile period at O-3 which I know isn't ideal but it is still entirely possible to get a bfp from? I guess if you feel comfortable doing it again that's your call, I know you have been trying for a while now xx
Tfahn good news that your results were ok [emoji106]
Sorry GD got you hopper, I can totally relate to the GD rearing its head, I have had a couple of comments recently that have made my blood boil!

Oh stop girls I hate the common gender associations! It really is just laziness and people always wanting something to say. A lot of PP mom's I know can be quite pitying of me having two of the same sex. Quite honestly I pity them for never knowing the beauty of having two of the same. My guys are the very best of friends they are close enough in age they will probably have the same buddies growing up like my DH and his brother had as they were similarly spaced. I remember Atomic saying, or rather writing, a great quote - boys should come in pairs! It's SO true.
Quinn I find in my area girls are very very much favoured over boys. I was asked why was I so happy on DS2 to be having another boy. I was asked by another person on DS1 no less was I not disappointed in having a son instead of a daughter. The girls section in shops around here is 3-4 times larger than the pitiful boys section. Maybe my GD makes me more sensitive though, I dunno! I hope all of us here don't have to feel like this for much longer! X
Mammacass SHOW means Soft, High, Open and Wet during O. I only started tracking my CP two cycles ago but sure both of those cycles were crazzzzzzzy so not a lot to go by so I'm fairly clueless here lol.
Hoping you catch that egg ksmom!! I have a good feeling about you this cycle, would love to be right!! X
Signing I am so excited for you to test again!!!! It is looking so so promising! FXed for a lovely solid test line on our next test x
Lauren are you doing e4d this cycle? I think an O-3 can result in a bfp but if you feel comfortable add in the extra attempt. I am doing e3d this cycle but I think it SHOULD work out as a single attempt in my fertile window. Hopefully lol. Fingers xed for you!!

As for me my opks today started very light and have gotten progressively stronger so really really hoping for a + tomorrow or even Friday. We are doing e3d so are supposed to attempt tomorrow, last attempt being Monday PM. I am thinking I *might* see how my opk looks tomorrow before making that decision, if it looks like it may not turn + until Friday I was thinking of delaying our attempt til Friday - or should I stick with e3d? What would you do ladies?

Thanks poptart :) I honestly don't know any more. When I did opks to conceive our boys I am fairly sure I Oed within 24 hours of it +ive. This is my first cycle doing the regular opks and my last cycle was a mess with the +I've way early in my cycle and AF being like a week late so I am clueless as to what to expect. It would be absolutely awesome if I got a +ive tomorrow lol. It would take the hassle out of thinking about it!

Hopper, thank you! I so hope you're right. I want to be pregnant with a sticky bean this cycle so badly (and preferably a pink one!). I really hope you get your BFP cycle too especially with this being your last month TTC for awhile. :)
Signingmommy I see the lines but they're still faint. HCG takes roughly 48 hours to double so it's hard to see progression overnight with HPTs. I think tomorrow you'll have a much nicer looking line :) FX!
I took an OPK this afternoon...still negative but I definitely have an increase in CM along with having SHOW and lots of sharp pains around my left ovary. I'm trying not to stress about O since we're doing E4D. Tomorrow is our next day for BD so I would love to get my + OPK then!

It is quite strange Lauren but then again my faith in the CB digital opks has been destroyed since my previous cycle! Hopefully you have already Oed and caught that eggie :)

Mammacass I SO want you to prove your gp wrong and get your bfp this cycle. The sickness is a great sway tactic that's all, perfectly timed ;)
AFM opk is very light with FMU. Strong cramps and quite a bit of WCM (I haven't seen EWCM in months!) Hoping opks get stronger today or ideally I'd love a solid tomorrow. I am feeling a little anxious and am wondering if my penchant for anxiety might delay O!

Heres a pic of my FMU opk and the SMU about 3 hours later. Also just had a flashing smiley on the digi (I've been using the last 5 days just for confirmation). Think I will take another opk later and hope its stronger. If its not, what do you girls think - dtd tonight to keep to the e3d I had planned for this cycle or wait til tomorrow and go with the e4d that this cycle has actually ended up being anyway. I'm out of CB digi opks and can't spend money on more when I really dislike them. I didn't get a flashing smiley at all last month which was my first using them.

Thanks hun, I really appreciate the input. So if I do get a +opk later I will have an attempt tonight but if not I will wait til tomorrow. Its safe to assume O *should* in theory occur around 24 hours post +ive. I hope I get that +I've now tomorrow lol. Seriously cramping here, still SHOW but so high I can just about reach now. And CM is way more abundant than previous cycles, possibly as a result of my diet being shaky the past few weeks!

That's what I would do personally. I just think then you can get your attempt in closer to O? But you could stick to e3-4d if you felt more relaxed that way. But I presume the fact you're doing opk's & checking CP etc you're more like me in trying to pinpoint roughly where abouts you are? Maybe ask atomic?
Im good thanks.. How are you? CD9 today and OPKs are still obviously negative so Prob a few days off O yet. My diet is rubbish I constantly cheat [emoji85] I think the main change ive made is reducing the amount we BD and one attempt most definitely. I just feel like time is ticking along so im becoming more and more lax about things. I definitely eat far less meat and no breakfast so I have changed but I'm definitely not a hardcore swayer like some of you troopers! Xx

Just be careful with cheapies and re-reading them later. I nearly always get a line appear once they've dried somewhat. I have learned not to get excited by this any more and just read them within the time frame.

Yeah I've spoken to Atomic and she said this month to definitely do e3d or e4d. With so long on the diet I need for it to happen and she said the better chance of it happening is regular dtd. I was going to just go with one attempt at +ive but she knows what she's talking about so will go with her advice. That's why I'm caught on when to attempt, I think I will hope the line is almost positive later and if it is I will hold off til tomorrow. Friday 13th and all that haha, lucky for some right ;)
Don't feel bad about your diet hun. Sounds similar to mine. Less meat, no breakfast, no snacking, no fortified foods at all, no red meat (well very very rarely) most bulking up on carbs, veg and junk. I'm couch potato too so not too happy about that aspect but needs must. I was losing too fast when doing the cardio. We had at least 3 attempts in fertile window when ttc our boys so knocking it down to one is a big change. We have made big changes hun, might not be as strong sounding as other sweaters but the bigger picture shows we are on the right track. Plus length of time on diet even with cheats should help big time. I'm 28 weeks on LE tomorrow but have had several fairly substantial cheats over that time and I'm not as strict as I started out being.

So much happens over night on here!
Temp spike for me this morning.... That puts me at either O-2 or 0-3 (because yesterday's temp was elevated but not a big spike.)
We are scheduled to bd today too... Is there really no such thing as O+12?
Anyway, about diet, when you do O isn't that the best time to now cheat? Wouldn't sex already be determined at this point?

Quinn I've had high temps like that from time to time. I had a cycle earlier this year with pre-O temps ranging from 97.7 to 98.3. My "usual" is between 97.3-97.9 then in the 98s post-O. I'm not sure what causes those variations...different levels of hormones I guess?
Purple, yay the TWW! Loads of sticky pink dust to you!!
Hopper, you're so close to O! Since Atomic left it up to you on whether to do E3D or E4D, I'd wait until the OPK is pos. since it's so close. You'd probably end up doing e4d anyway waiting to have your attempt at + OPK.
2Xblue, take another test!! lol I can see a line for sure, you're not dreaming!
CD24 for me today. I got another blinking smiley on the OPK this morning and have been really crampy with lots of pain in my left ovary. (TMI alert) I had a huge glob of yellow and red streaked ewcm so I'm hoping (please, please) that ovulation is just around the corner. We're doing e4d and today is supposed to be our next day to BD. I'm not sure if I should just wait until my OPK is pos. or DTD today and risk my OPK not being pos. until tomorrow or saturday??

Lauren- you want to keep your blood sugar low by adhering to the LE diet for the first 6-8 days of your luteal phase. XX embryos develop better in a lower glucose environment. Sure sex is determined long before then, but this is why we still need to wait a bit to have our cheat! After 6-8 days post O, cheat away....just don't blow the whole diet [emoji6].

It's so hard not to cheat in the early days of the tww! When we have an increase in appetite it's because of great progesterone production, which also means our other hormones were great too (they are made from the same precursor), and this usually means BFP or that a BFP is soon to come.
FX and GL to you!!!

So much happens over night on here!
Temp spike for me this morning.... That puts me at either O-2 or 0-3 (because yesterday's temp was elevated but not a big spike.)
We are scheduled to bd today too... Is there really no such thing as O+12?
Anyway, about diet, when you do O isn't that the best time to now cheat? Wouldn't sex already be determined at this point?

Lauren a rise in temp doesn't have to be a big spike to indicate o. Its possible to have a minor shift that increases the following day. Post a pic of your chart if you like.
Purple woohoo for earlier o! Have everything crossed for you and will be stalking your testing time!!
Sorry for bfn signing :( hope it turns into bfp over next few days!
Hopper so close to o day hooray!! Can't wait until your 2ww starts officially :)
Good luck and fx everyone else waiting to o or testing soon!

You ladies make it difficult for me to wait until Saturday lol! But I'm kind of scared to test tomorrow as hcg doesn't increase much in one day. And what if it's just bfn. I promised myself not get my hopes up but now I'm excited and nervous. I feel some pressure in my lower stomach. I haven't felt like af would arrive anymore today. The whole week I have felt like af would arrive, it was such a strong feeling and I was so sure it would be here any day.

Feeling a bit deflated. I finally called the OB to see what my cd21 number was and the nurse said 9.7 which is low on clomid so most likely I did not respond to it. I am staying at 100mg for 2 more months and then they will do another 21 day recheck then.
Between the loss last year and nothing happening for so long afterwards, I am feeling so depressed today.

Mt do you know for sure when you ovulated? Day 21's are only accurate if you ovulate on day 14.. Instead it should be 7dpo x

I don't test but I had major pains in my left ovary that woke me up on cd16 so I assumed that was it. The test was on cd23 (8days) later. I guess I will just be waiting for AF to rear her ugly head.
Do most of you temp or take OPK? Anyone just doing e4d to ttc a girl?
mammacass
November 12th, 2015, 08:17 PM
I'm doing E4D but also temping just so I can see what is happening :) this cycle I did start to use OPKS because the previous 2 were quite confusing however I think I must have missed my pos OPK the day I wasn't able to test.
I think if you are needing to have tests done at a certain day past ovulation then it would be best to temp?

I was really trying to relax this month... So my chart has some gaps, and the times were never the same. (Time change has me all screwy). My temps seem to be really low if I wake up super early (5-6am) so if I fall back asleep until around 8 I sometimes retake it to see if that temp makes more sense. I don't know lol. Here's my chart. It's a hot mess. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/12/1f818647f5b325386d7bf71d2ea06807.jpg

Can someone cheer me up? Dh and I dtd yesterday morning and night. I had a positive opk yesterday as well. Tonight he's too tired to do anything so we only have those two attempts. The last time we dtd was Sunday! I think I O'd today which is a day early and was planning eod but it's not going to work that way and now I just have two attempts 1-O which isn't good for a boy sway or someone like me who has trouble getting pregnant either!! Aagh I'm frustrated but no one knows we're trying so I have no one else to talk to. [emoji24]

I'm no expert Lauren but it looks to me like you ovulated on CD16 which would give you an O-2 attempt which is good odds for conception [emoji4] if you are doing E3D and are due to BD again I say go for it

Oh sorry your feeling down Quinn [emoji17] it really is stressful on us swayers when our man can't perform! And I suppose it's stressful on our men too hey. 2 attempts the day before O is certainly not bad - better than just the one! And luckily you did add in that extra attempt in the PM instead of waiting for the morning [emoji106] remember best odds of conception are at O-1 and O-2 and that 2 attempts does not put you in girl sway territory...
Could his arm be easily twisted if you turned the seduction on, or gently remind him how much he wants a boy and it's now or never lol

Haha I already tried and he's falling asleep as he tries to talk to me. We had a crazy day. I'm not in the mood ether but I just want to be pregnant! Thanks for cheering me up, I'm still worried it's not enough to get pregnant. I really thought I would O on day 13 so waiting until 11 made sense. I should have known clomid would change it up. Boo I'm so sad because I was feeling so hopeful. [emoji53]
I had 3 attempts including an IUI in the fertile window with my last dd so lifestyle seems to sway the most for me!

You have made a lot of changes with your diet and lifestyle this time which will also sway boy so hopefully that will be enough, along with the clomid to up your fertility and get you your blue bundle x
With your last dd were you swaying? And on clomid also? Sorry if you have said before

Hugs Quinn, hopefully your 2 attempts and the clomid get you a BFP with blue dust. How do you feel talking the Clomid? There's a possibility I might begin Clomid next month if we don't get our BFP this month
I finally got my + OPK last night at 8:30pm but my husband left town this morning so I didn't get in as many attempts as I wanted either. So fingers crossed I ovulated today to make out attempts count the most. anxiously awaiting my morning temp to show a jump.

Don't be upset Quinn! Two attempts sounds good to me for a blue sway. I was actually in a similar situation when we we conceived DS2. We'd had two attempts in the day or two before O and then on O day I wanted to BD again just in case. Well, DH had trouble performing due to work stress so I got so upset thinking we wouldn't conceive because we missed the opportunity. As you stated yourself, it seems to be your lifestyle that sways more than number of attempts so please don't fret! You can have all my blue dust!

28434I just had to do a pregnancy test this morning haha! But this is interesting. In the picture there's the same test. The bottom one is when it was about 30min after I made the test. The middle one is after 50min and the top one after 60min. In the middle one there is a clear line but I think I couldn't see any color in it, only grey. Hmm. What do you think about these pictures? The test is 10mIU.

November 13th, 2015, 04:15 AM
2xblue can I ask when a positive is supposed to show on these tests? As in do they say don't read after 10 minutes? I'm sorry but I cant see anything really on top and bottom test but can see the grey line you're referring to on the middle one. I definately seen something in yesterday's test and to me it had colour. It's possible your urine was more diluted this morning. How many dpo are you? I'm sorry this is obviously not what you want to read and I hope so much your next test is a blaring positive! And I hope my eyes are just as tired as I feel and someone else can see something. I'm also on my phone so that could be dulling the pics as well. Sorry again for the non positive post :( but I know what its like waiting for replies. Fx tightly for a definate bfp next test!!

2x I can see the grey line in the middle pic but nothing in the top and bottom I'm afraid. I've used these tests before and am reasonably sure they say not to read after 10 minutes. Could you get your hands on a branded test maybe? Fingers crossed your next test is a sure fire +ve!
violet winter hoping the cramping means good things for you :)
mt I'm so sorry your bw wasn't great. Hopefully your O day was off so the results are not accurate. big hugs!
I think lifestyle matters in a huge way quinn. Two attempts is still boy-ish territory as well but the main thing is the massive changes you have made. Sending buckets of blue dust your way!
ksmom how is your opk today hun? It was so close yesterday!! Hopefully we will both O soon and be testing around the same time x
So my opk was still not positive this morning lol, stronger than yesterday mornings but not as strong as my SMU one. I have to make the decision now whether to wait for +opk or do e4d which would be today. I think I'll play safe and stick with the e4d, I could be gearing up to O for annother week knowing my body!!! I caved and bought another packet of the CB digi opks hahaha, I'm the biggest hypocrite!!! The perverse part of me wants to see if the digis line up with the wondfos lol. We shall see. I plan on using my SMU to test the CB digi with as it seems to be my most concentrated of the day, even moreso than FMU (possibly something to do with the wine I drink in the evenings - gosh darned sway tactic! Needs must right haha)
In other news I got a referral to my obgyn. I've been waiting on it since March this year, it was initially for my heavy AF but since being diagnosed as anaemic and being on LE my AF is the lightest its ever been so I really don't need the appointment any more HOWEVER if we are not successful this cycle I'll keep the appointment and see if he might prescribe me Clomid. I have the low day 21 bw from my Sept cycle and as I've said before if I'm not pg this month we'll be skipping several cycles so I would have time to wait for more bw if he requests it. It has made me feel a lot more at ease if things don't work out this month. Obviously would still love to get pg this month but I'm kinda making my peace with things if it doesn't work out the way I would like!

November 13th, 2015, 06:12 AM
Sounds great hopper! I would stick to e4d too. Fx you get a definate pos opk too! Are you adding an attempt at pos opk or just sticking to e4d only?
