NOV Testing

[hopper]

Hmm that's given me food for thought!! Lol. Well I think if we had an O-2 attempt I'd be happy with that but if it were O-3 I might add an attempt ON O day if I didn't feel confident about the O-3 attempt. I'm just after getting an appointment through the mail for a pelvic scan for the week after next, the same week as the obgyn appt. They seem to be very on the ball even though it took them since March to give me any appt at all! I suppose the timing might be right - I will still be hoping to get a bfp this cycle though.

[Pbn3]

I've got everything crossed for you too hopper! I would love to see you get a bfp this cycle!!!!

[2xblue]

Yes the test should be read within 10min so I'm not trusting this one. So I take today's test as a bfn. I don't know should I wait couple days to test again. Maybe I don't even have to if af arrives before that. I'm 11dpo today.

[2xblue]

I have a girls night out tomorrow and been thinking is it safe to drink alcohol. Probably I need to test tomorrow morning to see if I can drink. But would you drink alcohol at 12dpo if the test is negative?

[Pbn3]

How long is your lt phase normally 2xblue? Have you got any other type of test you can take in morning? Preferably a frer or similar?

[Magical22]

Quinn-- both my boys were conceived with 2 attempts in the fertile window! You totally have a chance! FX for you!




WooHoo Magical! So excited for you! When do you get to test? Sending you lots of sticky dust! Did you do PGD too?

Mid next week i guess in about 6 days time so the 19th, no PGD is illegal in Australia I wish I could of done it I really want a little girl.

Pbn, my normal lp is about 14 days I think. Last cycle it was only 7. I don't think we have FRER's here. Maybe I should go to store today and see what tests they have. I have ordered these tests online what I have now.

[Quinn31]

I didn't ovulate! My temp went down big time this morning. I tried to get Dh to dtd before he left for work but it didn't happen. I'm so sad. Now we only have two attempts on 2-O. Not good at all. That sways girl big time.

Yes I did, was throwing a surprise party for a friend and just went for it

[Ttc2015]

AF has finally arrived. Here we go again..........

Quick question - it started a wee bit yesterday evening but only a little bit and only properly started overnight, so would you count yesterday or today as cd1?

[Quinn31]

Thanks for all your kind words ladies. I become such a freak around O time and get nervous about timing. This time anything that could go wrong did. Oh well. Nothing I can do now but have an attempt later today that will most likely be too late. Thanks again.

I was always told to count full flow. So today.

Quinn hoping your attempts are enough to give you your boy.

TTC sorry to hear AF got you. Hoping this cycle is your lucky one!

2x I was late for AF last month and getting bfns, I went out on a girls night and had some drinks. People do it all the time when they don't know they are pg and aren't testing.


I've got everything crossed for you too hopper! I would love to see you get a bfp this cycle!!!!

Thanks pbn (((hugs))) You know the feeling is mutual :)

Just did my digi and got a flashing smiley again but here's a pic of my Wondfo opk. Its closer but not quite there yet. Maybe tomorrow? So dtd today would put us at O-2 if its + tomorrow, right?

So exciting Magical! Yay!!! Best of luck :)

2xblue I think that's an evap, sorry :( Since it disappeared after a period of time I wouldn't count it. Last cycle at 9 dpo I had a line that looked like yours appear after the time limit but it stayed there. FX it's just too early right now. I think it'd be okay to have alcohol if it's a bfn at 12 dpo but if you're not 100% sure that's how far into the TWW you are, then I wouldn't.

Violet winter, those sound like promising signs to me!

Mamamcass, I've got everything crossed for you!!

Hopper, test with OPKs in the afternoon. FMU isn't reliable with those because LH isn't excreted into the urine until afternoon. I've heard the "best" time to test is 2pm but really any time after 10am I've heard will work. I typically do a four hour hold with minimal fluids before testing. Those CB digitals are evil. lol I've spent more money on those than I care to divulge. :oops: So glad you've made peace with things. This IS it for you, I can feel it! I will be seeing your BFP this month! :D

Quinn, two attempts is still :agree: for a boy sway. Those of us swaying pink are aiming for just one attempt because it seems to get good results. Many of us (myself included) got boys with two attempts in the fertile window. Diet really matters too so remember that. :)

TTC2015, the first day of bright red flow counts as CD1. I don't ever count spotting.

I'm now on CD25 and for the 4th day in a row this AM, got a "high" reading on the OPK. I'm getting annoyed with that blinking smiley....just give me my solid smiley already!! I'm still having pains in my left ovary and lots of ewcm. Should I be worried I'm having so much ewcm swaying pink? I haven't seen much of it since being on LE, however I've only o'ed twice in the past 6 months I've been swaying so I'm guessing my fertility hasn't been the greatest. I just get a little worried because I mass produced ewcm when TTC our boys. lol I'm trying not to complain though because I really just want to freaking ovulate already and hopefully get pregnant so I can get off this diet!!

[Quinn31]

Ksmom I wouldn't worry too much about ewcm. I know a couple people (myself included) who used preseed to mimic ewcm and ended up with girls. We all seemed to have low fertility because it took awhile to get pregnant. I might be completely off though so hopefully someone else can help.

Quinn I think you will be fine, I had a temp dip before O.

Sorry Ttc2015, FX got next months BFP.

Hopper it's looking like O is definitely around the corner.

2x I'm sorry I'm not seeing anything and I had the same issue with getting lines after time limits. I've decided that I am not getting cheap test anymore!

So ladies, still cramping so going on 2.5weeks. I'm still having the same symptoms I've been having: nauseous, heartburn, cramps, weird taste in my mouth, and headaches. 13dpo and got a big fat BFN this morning...I know I'm not out till AF shows up but being 13dpo and still BFN I think I'm out but it's okay even with the symptoms I bawled my eyes out last night and with today's bfn I've resigned that it wasn't our month after all. Fx for next month to be our month and move on. I will keep you ladies posted if AF does come or I get a magic BFP.

Fx that there are sticky babies for all of you.

[ksmom]

Thanks Quinn. I used pre-seed too when TTC my boys so maybe using that on top of all the ewcm plus a boy friendly diet is what put me in blue territory. It's hard to not want to do everything the opposite as before when swaying. I'm hoping the LE diet and exercise will be enough to sway pink for me.

Signingmommy, sorry it's a bfn. :( I hope you get a bfp very soon. FX

Hopper, oh that's sooo close! Yes if you DTD today and it's pos. tomorrow then most likely it'd be a O-2 attempt which is great timing.

[Quinn31]

Signing hopefully it works out for you and you get a late bfp! What's your lp usually?

Ksmom, I also try to do opposite things and I feel like our attempts this month are like when I conceived dd1!

Af is due on Thanksgiving! How sad, I hope I get an answer before that!

[mammacass]

Morning ladies how are we all travelling today?

Tfahn did you get the temp rise you were hoping for?

Hopper I agree with sticking with the e4d for now and see where your +ve OPK falls. Great that you have a back up plan with a referral on hand [emoji4]

Oh Quinn sorry you didn't get your temp rise this morning [emoji17] keep in mind its overall condition as well and all those other sway factors you have going for you x if you can attempt again today that's great [emoji106]

Ttc2015 sorry AF arrived, I wold count today as CD1

Big hugs Signing x

AFM 7DPO, no symptoms as of yet and chart isn't looking stellar either lol still a few days till test time, I am starting to feel better though so yay [emoji6]

Evening ladies!

Great to hear you are feeling a little better mammacass! 7dpo wow, that is just flying!!! When do you think you will test pet?

Signing I hope you get a late bfp! Will be stalking x

Ksmom omg I think our cycle this month must be nearly identical!! I have way more CM this month than any month since starting LE. Has me a little apprehensive but what will be will be. When was your last attempt? Did you have it yesterday to keep with e4d?

Well thanks to Ksmoms advice on opks and FMU I tested again this evening and am fairly sure its + or just shy of +. Either way our attempt will be in a few hours!!! I'm going for a lavendar bath with a big glass of white wine. DH is complaining of not feeling well, his throat is sore. I've told him he may pull himself up by his bootstraps and deal with it lol. Here's a pic of my latest opk - I'm sure I have everyone drive mad at this stage!!!

[Quinn31]

That looks pretty positive to me Hopper!

[Poptart32]

Quinn 2 attempts is still bluesy! Get another in for good measure [emoji6]

Ks how about sudafed? To dry up CM a bit? Is it sudafed or antihistamines I can't remember.. As I have the opposite problem I don't get EWCM any more and on clomid there's literally nothing!!

Signing you're not out til AF shows.. In fact yday my friend who was told this week she would be unable to conceive without oestrogen injections/IVF as her womb is pale and thin found out she was pregnant and only tested as she had a metallic mouth!

Mamma when are you testing?? Glad you're feeling better x

Hopper that made me laugh out loud [emoji23][emoji23] glad you've got your positive and can get your attempt in.. Make it a goodun!! X

I feel a bit all over the place.. 7th month on no BC now 4th month dieting and charting 2 of which I have taken clomid. Feel like it's never gonna blinkin happen. I spent all week consoling my friend who was told she was lacking oestrogen so wasn't going to be able to conceive naturally again after her DD and would have to fund fertility treatment as he already has a DD and she's pregnant by chance! So as much as im happy for her my selfish side has crept out. It's not even a gender thing now.. Simply getting pregnant would be nice! Ive picked out a boys name already [emoji23] ive been all teary and all over the place it's rubbish. [emoji107][emoji107] I NEED to draw a line and carry on as the diet has gone out the window and im forgetting to do OPK's and not paying attention to when I BD and im due to ovulate in a few days.

Ksmom, I also try to do opposite things and I feel like our attempts this month are like when I conceived dd1!

Af is due on Thanksgiving! How sad, I hope I get an answer before that!

My Lp is normally between 12 and 14 days so I'm due to get AF anywhere between today and Monday.

I still really nauseous and got metallic mouth but with all the Bfns I'm still resigned to not being pregnant this month. I literally had one drop of spotting today at lunch but nothing else. AF is coming. I may end up bawling again.

[mammacass]

Thankyou ladies, Officially I will be testing 10DPO, depending on how I'm feeling though maybe 8-9 with an IC [emoji4]

I found something online that I thought was interesting:

"hCG doubles every 48 hours. You can have a level of 1 - 5 in a non pregnant state.

Implantation could belater than you think.

If a woman implants at 8dpo, with a 'non pregnant' hCG level of 1 [Which is totally normal] it would rise as follows

8dpo - 1miu hcg
10dpo - 2miu
12dpo - 4miu
14dpo [Day AF is typically due] - 8miu
16dpo - 16miu

So this lady wouldn't finnd out until 15dpo on a very senstive 10miu pregnancy test, superdrug own or possibly asda own. Obviously if she implants LATER than 8dpo [which is normal] she will find out even later.

Now, Take a lady who implants at 8dpo, But has a'Non pregnant' hCG level of 5. Hers looks like this;

8dpo - 5miu
10dpo- 10miu - Could find out here on superdrug own, internet cheapie
12dpo - 20miu - Could find out here with freedom cheapie strip/most poundland tests and asda own]
14dpo - 40miu [day period is typically due] Most tests would pick it up here

So, This lady, Even though implantation is on the same say for both ladies, Can find out MUCH sooner. Now, If this lady were to implant at 6dpo she could potentially find out at just 8dpo. But if the first lady were to implant at 12dpo, She would find out even later, Even if they have the same cycle and OV days!"

Poptart I feel just like you!!!! When I realized I didn't ovulate yesterday and we hadn't bd, I cried silently in my bathroom haha. I'm sorry you're going through this. I forget, how long did it take with your other kids? For me it was 2 months and over 12 so I have no idea when I'll conceive.

Have you thought of fertile yoga poses? I've started doing those and I'm hoping it helps physically and mentally.

With my first he wasn't planned but I was no good with my pill so hard to say but since he was born is when I've developed my problems I think, ie my thyroid and it took 18months of active trying and multiple attempts and zero intentional swaying for number 2.

Im not glad you're feeling the same obviously, but it's comforting knowing the emotional strain it has on all of us. At least we can all moan to each other [emoji120] I don't talk to my friends about it as I don't want to come across as selfish or ungrateful because I'm not I just get twangs every now and then [emoji51]

No ive not thought about it to be honest but anything is worth a shot I will have a look Thankyou x

Poptart I'm on cd10 as well and expect to o by cd14 will be awesome to be cycle buddies!!

Yay for pos opk hopper!! Enjoy your wine, bath oh and bd lol!

Quinn I hope you've found some peace with your bd attempts. Unfortunately it takes two to tango and our dh's aren't always up for dancing so to speak. As everyone else has said the changes to your diet and lifestyle will play such an important part and two attempts is better than one.

Signing and 2xblue there's still time for sneaky bfps :) I hope af stays well away from you both.

Ttc2015 I'm sorry af arrived :(

[Poptart32]

Yay! Always good to have a cycle buddy!

I noticed earlier im still spotting.. Well it's more brown. But CD10 that's unusual for me. It was a really heavy and painful AF though so that's Prob why. Maybe I'll ovulate later.

So it's me PBN Quinn ksmom and hopper all attempting or due to attempt now? Have I missed anyone!!!?

Ooh that may well be promising hun!!!! Hopefully Our is just around the corner x

Ksmom is attempting around now too so there's a few due to test around the same time. Hoping for loads of bfps!!

Just had our attempt, for someone who wasn't particularly pushed on dtd DH was adamant to make me O!! So I did argh! I'm feeling really dodgy about that now but I suppose I can't change it now! The big O is still a big NO for girl sway right? Did 5 mins propped hips and about 2 mins on my tum before DS2 woke up lol. Well attempt has been made, we will probably have another shot on Monday just to cover our bases I think. My BBs are killing me, possibly O sign maybe?!... Anyway, roll on tomorrow so I can see if the opk is a blazing + or not. I feel like this evenings opk wasn't a strong as I was expecting so have marked it as high fertility on my app instead of peak.

[Pbn3]

Sounds great hopper! And don't stress about the big o, heaps of successful pink sways did including atomic!

[hopper]

Sounds great hopper! And don't stress about the big o, heaps of successful pink sways did including atomic!

Thanks pbn x I'm gonna find fault anyway but on the bright side I am reasonably sure I am Oing so it's a helluva step up from the last two cycles!!! :D I'm lying down after going to the toilet and sorting DS2 out so am hoping that lying down to sleep after its doesn't sway took badly blue. Definitely only one attempt in my fertile window though so that's great!!

[Quinn31]

Wow a lot of us attempting now!! Poptart I was concerned because my two attempts were 2 days before O and with my ttc problems I feel like I need a lot of attempts plus it seems like it might sway girl.

Hopper all of my girls friends have propped their hips (it's something we joke about) and there are girls and boys in that. I ALWAYS prop my hips and I have two girls. I've also O'd. I think these small things help us but like we've all said, it's our overall condition. I was a total LE girl even though I had tons of cheat days.

Were any of you ladies losing weight when you got pregnant with your ds? I've gained about ten pounds on HE and I'm feeling down about it. I've been trying so hard to eat healthy fats/whole foods but I'm still gaining weight. I've been working out with weights too but I usually run. I just want to lose a couple pounds but I'm afraid that will put me in girl territory if I have to try again.

Quinn I'd actually lost weight prior to conceiving ds1 but had stopped dieting 4 months prior to getting a bfp and was slowly gaining a bit of weight back. Ds2 I was pretty much maintaining a weight range nore on the heavier side (for me). I really think the diet is the key as I was so he diet when i conceived both its ridiculous!

[Quinn31]

Thanks that's kind of what I figured. Hopefully it happens soon for me then. I feel so gross.

[ksmom]

Hopper yay for a pos. OPK!!! I bet you'll end up with an O-2 or O-1 attempt which is great! :) I'm doing E4D and our attempt was supposed to be yesterday but because I kept feeling like I was going to get a + opk soon, we didn't DTD. It's really inconvenient for us to BD anyway because of DH's work schedule so it's either while the kids are napping or sneak off to have a quickie in the late afternoon and hope the kids don't walk in! lol At this point I'm just waiting for the opk to be pos. before we have an attempt. It doesn't help either that I have zero libido!

Poptart, I think Atomic says antihistamines are good for drying up cm but the only thing is I'm a little worried I'll take it and it will make it too hard for me to get pregnant! At the same time I don't want to sway blue. AHH! I've been on the diet 6 months so I need to get prego asap! I understand about getting upset easily as swaying can be so hard sometimes. It's such an emotional roller coaster, it's crazy! I have my days that I just want to throw in the towel. FX you O soon!

Mamacass, can't wait for you to test!! Loads of pink dust to you!

Quinn, before I got pregnant with DS2 I had lost quite a bit of weight (around 10 lbs.) from working out w/ weights and doing cardio. I was underweight with him vs. DS1 I was a healthy weight. With both I was eating a very blue friendly diet, snacking a lot, taking vitamins.

Took an OPK this afternoon and this evening but it's still neg. :mad: I don't get it. I've had all the signs for nearly a week now that O is around the corner with lots of ewcm, SHOW, ovary pains, ov. spotting yet...nothing. 6 months of LE and 3 months of exercise and I'm losing my willpower. Tomorrow is CD26. I just want to give up. :(

[tfahn]

Had a small temp rise this morning but that is normal for me, hopefully I have a bigger spike tomorrow. So I'm thinking I O'd yesterday which gives me 3 attempts in the fertile window would have like to have had another attempt last night but DH is away.

All my blood work has come back as normal from the RE so that is great. I have another test for progesterone at 7dpo next week.

Good luck everyone, seems like a lot of us our just ovulating so hoe
Fully this board will be filled with BFPs is the next 2 weeks

Quinn I lost around 8-10kg on the IG diet with DS3 and was my lowest adult weight since high school lol

signing, have you tested again?

Good luck everyone else! Hopefully there will be many BFP's this month!

I got bfn this morning. Did the same test as before. Tried to find a FRER or similar at the store but couldn't find. I really think I'm out this cycle. Damn that one test I made on Thursday 4am that got my hopes up. I hope AF arrives any day now so I don't have to wait for it for along time. Just want to start a new cycle.

Thanks for the answers about drinking alcohol. I'm going to have great time tonight with friends, have a cheat night and drink wine :)

[Pbn3]

Oh 2xblue I'm so sorry! I was sure I seen something in your early morning test!! Enjoy your night out and cheat day!!

Thought I'd better come clean and confess that I bought and started using digi opks cd8, reinstalled ff and started temping cd9 [emoji23] I'm hopeless!!! But in my defense I actually started feeling more anxious not knowing what was going on AND I am still sticking with e3d for what its worth anyway as last night was our first chance to dtd and yes it was interrupted lol until dh got ds1 to stay in his room again [emoji120] . So first attempt cd9, today is cd10 and plan to dtd again cd12 which will likely be day b4 or day of o. On second day of flashing smiley. Was really hoping to have had an earlier attempt as well (cd7) but no use dwelling on what couldn't be :)

Oh and essnce I have my pineapple ripening nicely on the kitchen bench and should be ready to go 1dpo. Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks for the reassurance quinn xxx I know in my heart you are right and it IS overall condition that matters. I think I've been fuzzy with my LE for the past while, I'm not as strict as I was in September or even early October. Sticking to basic LE principles like no snacking, less meat, no red meat, two meals a day, absolutely no fortified foods like cereal, 3 coffees a day (never drank coffee before swaying but am so addicted now I honestly don't know how I will go without it whenever we do get pg!!!) I feel beat, like my body can't maintain this level of abuse for much longer. I'm so used to eating lots of protein and healthy full fats. I suppose whether I get bfp this cycle or not my body needs the rest in December and I can enjoy Xmas without stressing about calories!

I was 140lbs when I conceived the boys, BMI 22.7. That was my constant weight through my adult life, since maybe 19/20. I was maintaining that weight when ttc DS2, though I was possibly fluctuating between 135-140. With DS1 though we went on an all inclusive cruise for our honeymoon and I ate and ate and ate, I was about 5/6 lbs heavier being rolled, eh I mean walking off the ship haha! I think I was more LE friendly on DS1, I ticked more of the boxes but the weight gain and number of attempts in the fertile window (it was O-4, O-3 and O-1 I believe) Hoping this is your cycle quinn and you can revert to your usual lifestyle with no fear of ruining a sway ;)


Hopper yay for a pos. OPK!!! I bet you'll end up with an O-2 or O-1 attempt which is great! :) I'm doing E4D and our attempt was supposed to be yesterday but because I kept feeling like I was going to get a + opk soon, we didn't DTD.

Tomorrow is CD26. I just want to give up. :(

Hopefully I do hun. Haven't taken an opk this morning, reckon your advice is fairly spot on ;) so won't be wasting my last few opks on FMU! Having my morning coffee and hoping it doesn't dilute SMU too much. Cramping really bad today so hoping that is the eggie getting ready to drop!

Hopefully you get that +opk today hun, maybe your cycle was just waiting for mine to catch up so we can be testing buddies ;) x
As for drying up CM I took anti histamines in September and if I ovulated when I "should" have Oed with my usual 13 day LP we had an O-1 attempt but the anti histamine dried me up so much I don't think DHs swimmers had anything to swim in at all! I asked Atomic about it and she said better to give it a miss so I haven't taken it again. I know I have more abundant CM this month but I'm thinking perhaps that might be down to the screwy cycle last month (part of me is convinced that those lines I swear I could see - and some ladies here could see something on the frers too, was in fact a chemical last month)
Don't even attempt to give up hun! You have done so well this far! You are just around the corner from your sticky bfp! Massive ((((hugs)))) xxx

I got bfn this morning. Did the same test as before. Tried to find a FRER or similar at the store but couldn't find. I really think I'm out this cycle. Damn that one test I made on Thursday 4am that got my hopes up. I hope AF arrives any day now so I don't have to wait for it for along time. Just want to start a new cycle.

Thanks for the answers about drinking alcohol. I'm going to have great time tonight with friends, have a cheat night and drink wine :)

Sorry to hear it was a bfn again 2x :( I had a similar enough experience last month and I just wanted AF to hurry up. I hope you have a wonderful time tonight and enjoy your cheat and wine night :)


Thought I'd better come clean and confess that I bought and started using digi opks cd8, reinstalled ff and started temping cd9 [emoji23] I'm hopeless!!! But in my defense I actually started feeling more anxious not knowing what was going on AND I am still sticking with e3d for what its worth anyway as last night was our first chance to dtd and yes it was interrupted lol until dh got ds1 to stay in his room again [emoji120] . So first attempt cd9, today is cd10 and plan to dtd again cd12 which will likely be day b4 or day of o. On second day of flashing smiley. Was really hoping to have had an earlier attempt as well (cd7) but no use dwelling on what couldn't be :)

Oh and essnce I have my pineapple ripening nicely on the kitchen bench and should be ready to go 1dpo. Thanks for the tip!!

LMBO oh pbn you really make me smile :) I think do what makes you comfortable, theres no way being anxious throughout your cycle cause you don't know when you've Oed is going to help your sway anyway ;) The temping and opks are just part of you, like me and the opks at this stage. I swore before we started attempts that I wouldn't buy a single opk - I'd say I've spent 100 quid on them in two months (damn you cb digital opks!!!) so I was just in denial for my September cycle.

If I were to eat pineapple in this tww could I like liquidise it or make it into smoothies? I HATE the core lol but I know thats the part I need to eat!

[hopper]

Oh one other thing - what dates are you all due to test girls? Magical can update the first post the next time she's online maybe :)

[tfahn]

Ugghh same temp as yesterday, so no clue what's going on. hopefully I O'd.

[Quinn31]

I'm so devastated. Dh wouldn't do it last night. I think his body is too exhausted. That leaves us with just the two attempts TWO days before ovulation. I'm already in my 5th month of ttc so I'm apparently not that fertile and need more attempts. I worked really hard on the diet, weights, drinks this month. Plus I paid money for clomid and dr appointment. All wasted!! I woke up at 3am and just started crying. Dh heard and asked but didn't respond. I don't think there will be many words between us today.

Okay. I got that strange dip in my chart again this month! Same day and all. Ugh... Last month I didn't get pregnant, so now I'm discouraged. Boo.

2xblue, so sorry it's a bfn :( Have fun on your night out!

Pbn, I've tried to give up on charting before and "go with flow" so to speak but I can't help myself! It's actually more stressful IMO to not know where you're at in your cycle! FX E3D will get you your much longed for BFP!

Hopper it sounds like your O day is today with all that cramping! Perfect timing! I would love it if we could be testing buddies but I feel like my body just can't quite ovulate for some reason. I went 2.5 months between my ovulation in July and the next one in Oct. It could be pretty far away still. :( I think I'll forego antihistamines because I really need to get pregnant quickly with being on the diet so long and my BMI is way too low. I know ewcm is technically blue friendly but FX my diet, exercise, and one attempt will override that.

Tfahn, hope you ovulated so you can start the TWW. Does your temp normally have just a small rise after O?

Quinn don't beat yourself up about it. Two attempts even at O-2 are still really good. I've got my fingers crossed that the Clomid will do the trick and you'll get a BFP this month.

Laurenk, you're definitely not out yet. Maybe tomorrow you'll have a nice temp rise. :)

As for me, CD26 today and another damn blinking smiley for the 5th day in a row. I want to punch it in its smug little blinky face. OPKs started getting lighter yesterday. Ugh. Figure it out already ovaries!!!

[tfahn]

I do use opks, I had a positive at 8:30 pm on Wednesday night and most the day Thursday was showing positive. I would have just expected to have higher temps by now. I had bloodwork taken Thursday at the RE and it looked like I was ready to ovulate but maybe I didnt? Last attempt was Thursday morning so it worries me about missing my fertile window, DH is away. Guess I will just have to wait and see what tomorrow's temp is.

Sorry Quinn it's hard when DH isn't cooperating, I know it must be hard since you can only be on clomid a certain amount of months so I'm sure that causing stress too.

[ksmom]

Tfahn, did you take clomid this cycle? Sorry I don't remember.

[tfahn]

I do usually have a step rise of temp after o, but it usually one small jump and then a big one so that is what has me thrown. I only see one other month of tracking where it stayed low for 2 days. But I guess every cycle can be different, trying not to worry

[tfahn]

Tfahn, did you take clomid this cycle? Sorry I don't remember.

No I wasnt on Clomid this month. This month the RE is just monitoring my bloodwork levels to see if anything was off. So far everything is normal. I can start Clomid next cycle if I want. We still need to do a sperm analysis for DH and I might do the HSG before doing Clomid to make sure there is no scar tissue from my Csection causing problems

[ksmom]

Sometimes temps can be off with the date of ovulation by +/- 3 days. There was a study done on the accuracy of BBT with pinpointing O and it's not super accurate. Your body could have also geared up to O but didn't which can happen. Hopefully you did O and your temp is just delayed in showing it. I know for me, I've had a couple of cycles where I'm certain I o'ed on a certain day but because O happened late in the evening, my temp didn't rise until two days later. You could have o'ed late on cd19 so BBT may not rise until tomorrow.

Just now took an OPK (noon here) and it's positive!!! Eeeeee!! That darn blinking smiley is finally solid too. Ironically I got my BFP exactly one month ago today. Now to have a quickie during nap time ;)

[Foxcubblue]

Oh Quinn, try not to be too hard on yourself. What's done is done. For what it's worth, my temp was also doing crazy things this cycle (have a look at my chart) and so according to my temps, which I still don't quite believe, my attempts were 0-2, 0-3, 0-4! And we are pregnant! I worry about this from the ttc boy point of view but have looked at lots of charts on ff and there are plenty of people pregnant with boys with two or three day cut offs. Hopefully the diet and exercise and supps will dominate! Sending hugs.

[tfahn]

Yeah KSmom. Fingers crossed this is your month!

DH is coming home today. Don't know if I should throw another attempt in today since I am not positive when I O'd. But I probably should pass since that might sway more girl at is point. Last attempt was Thursday morning.

[ksmom]

Tfahn, I'm not sure what's recommended for a blue sway but I would think it would be okay to BD today since it's been two days. Most of us with boys had multiple attempts in the fertile window.

[Quinn31]

Thanks that makes me feel better. I was googling O-2 and a decent amount said they had boys.

Quinn also literally just read a post on mumsnet from a lady who's temp hadn't gone up for two days despite the fact that she had definitely ovulated (shown by blood work and an ultrasound)

[Pbn3]

Woohoo ksmom!!! So happy for you! Go catch that egg!!

Tfahn I've learnt anything is possible charting. I too 'usually' get a sharp rise and temps well above coverline but have also had the odd looking chart. This is a pic of my bfp cycle. As you can see there was barely a rise and following temps didn't seem great so I definately wasn't expecting a bfp (ended as cp) but I just wanted to show you cant count yourself out based on temps alone :)
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/14/91127aeeee3549b50311bdb856e7a76b.jpg

Lauren many many people have a fall back every cycle and this in no way counts you out. Try and not worry about your temps at this stage, its the later dpos temps (from 6dpo-7dpo onwards) that 'may' indicate things are going well. Stay positive and fx!!

Quinn I'm sorry things didn't go to plan this cycle :( I bet after all this worrying you'll end up with a bfp! Sending you loads of blue baby dust!

Hopper I think making a smoothie sounds like a great way to eat pineapple and core!

[tfahn]

Thanks PBN. I'm sure my temp will eventually rise. What is the pineapple and core thing? Is that for a certain sway or pregnancy in general?

Does anyone ever get EWCM after ovulation? I have a lot today so wasn't sure if it means I am finally ovulating today or if that happens sometimes after O?

[tfahn]

Quinn also literally just read a post on mumsnet from a lady who's temp hadn't gone up for two days despite the fact that she had definitely ovulated (shown by blood work and an ultrasound)

That's really interesting, making me feel better about my two non spike temps.

[Pbn3]

The pineapple and core is meant to help with implantation and is eaten during the 2ww.

[signingmommyfor3]

Wow, I don't get on for 24hrs and you guys say a lot...everything is looking good for everyone!!! Pineapple core thing is good to know for next time.

2xblue- I planned on testing after I did my temp but I got a huge temp dip so felt it was unnecessary to test since only reason at 14dpo for that temp drop is AF. She still hasn't reared her ugly head yet, not even spotting or streaked cm. I just want her to come some I get try again and get my BFP.

Well we had our attempt this afternoon but DH informed me that he "released" about 5-6 hours before (damn his libido!). :thumbsdown: Now I'm worried that will reduce our chances of pregnancy too much. I already feel like I'm out. :/ I did prop my hips a little for about 15 minutes then I laid on my tummy for a bit since my uterus is tilted. I'm still worried it wasn't enough though.

[pinkin2011]

Thanks girls! I had just one attempt last night as hubby left for work this morning he will be gone for 7 days. I had a flashing smiley face on my digital opk yesterday so I think ovulation will be in the next couple of day's. I haven't done a sway we just decide in the moment to start trying ha ha. I dont like my chances of a bfp with a cut off but you never know. Id like a girl but tbh im so drained and over it all now. Been through alot over the last 4 years. 1 sway opposite then failed HT. We just want another baby either way!

[mammacass]

Oh 2xblue I'm so sorry! I was sure I seen something in your early morning test!! Enjoy your night out and cheat day!!

My Lp is typically 12-14 days. Today is 14dpo....All day of waiting and doing housework and celebrating DS1 bday, was at the trampoline park for his bday party part #1 (tmi) jumping with the kiddos and felt a gush thinking holy hell not now, but it wasn't AF. BUT AF finally did show up 45mins ago after some serious pain. Like I said I resigned to this months failure and am going to try and relax, hopefully I'll get BFP next month right before Christmas.

Welcome pink!!! Hopefully you'll get your BFP. I hope you all will and none of you have to move on to Dec 2WW.

[mammacass]

Great you got the attempt in Ksmom, I'm sure DHs earlier release will be fine. Fingers crossed hun :)

Signing I am so sorry AF arrived!!! Hoping you see a Christmas bfp x

Hoping the cut off works for you guys pinkin, best of luck!!

Girls call me clueless lol but my opk is still positive this morning. I've never bothered testing after the initial +ve but I tested this morning and its still +ve, possibly more so than yesterday's but it hasn't dried yet to compare. Obviously we are doing e3/4d and attempt was Friday night around 11.30pm. I'm still cramping and have backache like I sometimes get with O. I was contemplating dtd tomorrow night which would be e3d but honestly DH and I are in a....disagreement! So not too into even looking at him right now let alone, you know! What time frame am I looking at Oing? I got my solid smiley yesterday AM and + wondfo opk. I know it's a crystal ball question but in general what do you ladies in the know think?

[ksmom]

Thanks Hopper! I'm still nervous a one attempt with second batch wasn't enough but what's done is done. I think you may ovulate sometime today if you got a pos. OPK yesterday. I tend to have a surge of about 2 days with ovulation typically being on the day after my first pos. A surge can last a long time if you catch it in the very beginning. Ovulation usually happens 24-36 hours after the initial + with the average being around 30 hours. You can DTD tomorrow if you're not too mad at DH ;) but that may end up being an O+1 attempt. If you did have another attempt tomorrow and O is the same day, then it would be an O-3 and an O day attempt so I guess it depends upon if you're comfortable with that. The likelihood of conception isn't great for O-3 but as you know, it's totally possible.

[tfahn]

Finally a temp spike this morning! So really not sure if ovulated Thursday, Friday or Saturday. We had 1 attempt Thursday morning, and 2 on Wednesday so hopefully that is enough for my boy sway. Preseed was used on all attempts so fingers crossed there were still swimmers if I only O'd yesterday. No clue when I should test, I guess next Sunday would be the earliest maybe.

[ksmom]

Yay for O tfahn! 3 attempts sounds great for a blue sway! You can have all my blue dust. :) Pre-seed is really good stuff, I swear it helped me get pregnant with both my boys.

Mmm enjoy the donuts Lauren!! I had a cheat today and its probably O day so not the best timing but DS1 was begging for McDonalds for a treat and then was really upset when I said I wasn't going to eat so I did.

I've been taking 1200 folic daily with 1600 twice a week. My diet is so so poor I just feel I have to be at the higher end to keep my guilt at bay!! Atomic suggested the higher dose recently to me as I have been in diet for so long.

Great to hear you got your attempts in tfahn. Sounding great for blue and sending heaps of blue dust :)

Thanks for the reply ksmom :) I truly hope you get your sticky bfp this cycle. I know how you feel, its so up in the air and a case of 'what will be will be' now the job is done. I took a pic of my last 3 opks all dry now so easier compare. Top is Friday AM, middle is Sat AM and bottom is today Sun AM. I think today's is an almost + so possibly on the latter end of the surge, what do you think?

Hi girls sorry been quiet had a crazy busy day! Just got in from a friends daughters party and remembered I hadn't done an OPK so I squeezed a bit of wee out to do one defo nowhere near a 4 hour hold either [emoji85] its my last OPK too ive realised [emoji35][emoji35]

Would you agree the bottom is positive? And the two above are the previous two days so CD10, 11 then bottom 12. Which would usually mean Id O on CD14 as its normally 2 days after the positive, so will attempt tomorrow which would be e3d which is what ive started now?

Hopper I agree Saturdays test is the most positive looking one and would def dtd tonight. Its early Monday morning where I am so I'm hooing its still Sunday evening where you are :) I would much rather have an o day attempt in then an o+1.

Poptart it does look pos to me - woohoo!! And fitting in with your e3d! Seems like it was meant to be!

About to get up and do my own opk. Its reached 5am so if I wake my boys at least it's after 5 and not before.....or maybe just maybe they wont wake up :)

[Pbn3]

Well another flashing smiley but test is getting very close so definitely expect solid smiley tomorrow morning. Now I'm torn between sticking with e3d which is due tonight or switching to e4d which will extremely likely to be day of solid smiley. Think I'll change it. Or maybe I'll take another opk test later this morning and decide from there.

[ksmom]

Hopper the middle OPK looks to be the darkest. I'd say today is O day. :D I have everything crossed for you!!

The bottom test looks positive Poptart! Yay! Good luck!

Pbn it sounds like you're getting close to O time! Do you usually O the day of the solid smiley or the day after? Definitely test later today.

I'm starting to feel crampy on and off so I hope O is today so we end up with an O-1 attempt. I'm really worried we've already screwed up this cycle doing our attempt with a second batch. What's even more upsetting is knowing my next ovulation likely won't be until around Christmas or later. Grrr.

So funny how we're all ovulating around the same time! lol

[mammacass]

Yay for your temp rise tfahn!

Pinkin that is a dilemma [emoji53] are you doing e4d? If so stick with that as opposed to concentrating on the OPK and next month (if you aren't successful) stick to one brand!

Ksmom I've always oed the day after solid smiley.

Poptart I tested again this morning and still flashing so I'll wait and hope for a solid tomorrow morning.

Mammacass definately early and fx for next few days!

Pinkin that's a tough one! I'm inclined to lean towards the digitals but thats only because I have alot of trouble with the dip and read tests. E4d means dtd every four days. Have you been doing this or have you been waiting to do one attempt at pos opk. I'd recommend doing another first response test around 2pm as dip tests seem to read better early afternoons. Chances are it might be positive! Then you know whether you'll be good to dtd tonight.

Did the kids wake? Lol, sounds like me creeping around my house trying not to wake the little monsters ;) DS1 was up before the sun today, he was like a bag of cats by 8am saying he wanted to go back to bed!! Delighted for DH as Sunday is my life on morning and I didn't move til after 10am ;)

The bottom test looks positive Poptart! Yay! Good luck!

Pbn it sounds like you're getting close to O time! Do you usually O the day of the solid smiley or the day after? Definitely test later today.

I'm starting to feel crampy on and off so I hope O is today so we end up with an O-1 attempt. I'm really worried we've already screwed up this cycle doing our attempt with a second batch. What's even more upsetting is knowing my next ovulation likely won't be until around Christmas or later. Grrr.

So funny how we're all ovulating around the same time! lol

I hope you are right and today was O day, I suppose am happy enough with an O-2 attempt. Infinitely better than O-3!

And yes it is HILARIOUS that loads of us are Oing around the same time!!! Let's hope for a load of bfps the week after next ;)

I gave in and did an Internet cheapie this morning at 9DPO and got a bfn, I know it's still early [emoji4] I still have zero symptoms.

Well I dunno if I would go with the digital, my experience last cycle has me doubting and Atomic said she doesn't recommend them over other brands. When did you start using the digital? Did you have any flashing smiley before the solid or did it go from low to peak overnight? I agree with the girls that e4d is the way to go when in doubt - or what did I read here recently - if in doubt hump it out lol. Best of luck!

Hi girls sorry been quiet had a crazy busy day! Just got in from a friends daughters party and remembered I hadn't done an OPK so I squeezed a bit of wee out to do one defo nowhere near a 4 hour hold either [emoji85] its my last OPK too ive realised [emoji35][emoji35]

Would you agree the bottom is positive? And the two above are the previous two days so CD10, 11 then bottom 12. Which would usually mean Id O on CD14 as its normally 2 days after the positive, so will attempt tomorrow which would be e3d which is what ive started now?

Hi girls . I did 2 opk this morning. My digital is positive its a solid smile but my First response opk is negative. .. hmmmmmm which do I go by?

Did you take the digital with anything other than FMU? Not using FMU can cause a false reading.

[Poptart32]

Thanks.. I had been drinking coke at the party and had just done a wee so literally squeeeezed a bit out to test [emoji23][emoji23] sorry im so gross!!!!! [emoji113] the LOOK DH gave me when he saw what I was doing [emoji23][emoji15]
so im thinking either it's the very beginning as you say, or had i held for a few hours it may have been strongly positive. Ive ran out now anyway so tomorrow will be my attempt regardless then will have to see when it actually happened through my chart!

You too pleeeeease let this be our month! X

Yeah I'd have to agree with Hopper on their reliability. In Aug. and Sept. I did digital OPKs and every so often it would be positive while the wondfo was negative. In my experience, I don't ovulate until BOTH are positive. I read it has something to do with the digitals can turn positive when they detect a rise from when they were previously taken as it stores data from your other tests on it. If an increase is detected, the smiley shows up.



Oh my gosh I'm having the worst O pain right now!! My left ovary feels like an alien trying to burst out of my body. LOL We took the boys on a walk and I could hardly manage without grimacing every five seconds. This better be one good eggie!

Thanks for talking about flashing smileys and smileys. This morning I sleepily went to test with a clear blue monitor and keep wondering why it would not get off the smiley face. They are a couple months expired and I know lots of people don't trust them so I also use cheapie also. So today we are driving back from vacation (10 hour drive) and I'm getting sharp O pains and then reading how a smiley is a positive I realized Im Oing early. We bd the day of the smiley and the day before-very boy and I want a girl. Although this is our 4th month and I was going to start e3days from our last bd since I thought ovulation would happen this week or next weekend. I've had some cheats and been kind of off lately anyways. Eek!! I'm going to test with my last cheaper opk when we get home since I have to hold my pee in the car anyway. At least I'm having a laid back month so far. Haha!! Vacations are good for passing the time quickly!!!

I have left sided pain and cm..... feels like ovulation is not far away. I started the digital 4 days ago. First day was neg just a round circle. Then 2 days of flashing smile them this morning was solid. All with fmu apart from the 3rd flashing smile was arvo...

[dpike00]

Does anyone take Claritin or Benadryl? I'm wondering if that is what is preventing me from getting pregnant. I've taken a off brand Claritin everyday for 1-2 weeks and regularly take Benadryl for sleep. I know it would sway girl but I'm not getting pregnant!

That's cute Lauren, although maybe a bit awkward while shopping to explain. Looks like we are dpo buddies again this cycle as I think I'm 5dpo too.

I was away the weekend so too hard to catch up with 3 days worth! I hope everyone is well :)

Pbn, I did see were temping again... I have been tempted a few times to pull out the thermometer but have resisted.

I had a tiny amount of spotting yesterday but 4dpo is too early for implantation so not sure what it was. It was hardly any but just unusual for the tww. We hadn't dtd so it wasn't that either.

Anyway I'm pretty relaxed so far this tww. I'm pretty sure it will be a bfn as my timing wasn't great.

You girls getting ready to test are so lucky!!! I havent even ovulated yet abd its driving me crazy.

I brought a new brand of ook before so going by that and symptoms I guess ovulation will be tomorrow evening. So a 3 day cut off and a one time bd plus I am 32 I dont like my chances of a bfp this month :(

[mammacass]

Pinkin I probably sound like a broken record to the other girls (sorry!) because I keep referencing my circumstances around DS3 - just to give you a little hope, he was conceived at age 32 with a O-3 and O-5 all the while using IG diet, aci gel, rephresh and sylk. Obviously he was definitely meant to be here lol my point is that it's totally possible to get preggers at your age with a one time attempt and 3 day cut off [emoji4] fingers crossed for you

I'm not sure yet, I'm 10dpo Saturday (so one day behind Lauren but probably the same day with the time difference). I'm sure once I get closer to a reasonable testing time I will start getting impatient although testing means the high possibility of a bfn and being disappointed, better to hold off and enjoy the 'not knowing' :)

Yay for being in the TWW! When do you plan to test?

I totally get what you mean!! I have an obgyn appt next Monday afternoon, I will only be 8dpo but I think he will want to do bw etc so I will mention to him there's a possibility of being pg. I won't test, that's WAY too early! I have a pelvic sonogram then on the Wednesday when I will be 10dpo so I might test that AM in case I shouldn't go for the scan. If I didn't have the obgyn/scan I would have liked to hold off until 12dpo to hold onto that possibility of 'maybe, just maybe' a little bit longer. The amount of bfns last cycle with AF being a week late was really quite upsetting and I can't face that again.

Hi Ladies, I haven't checked in for a few days and looks like so much has happened! All my fingers and toes are crossed for all of you this month.

9dpo today. The last few days I've been having really bad cramps, back and leg pains. This morning I went to work and after having my usual moring coffee I felt nauseous and felt like throwing up. I decided to stop on the way home to buy some 1st Response pregnancy tests. Thinking I'd wait till morning to test but gave in and tested before my shower. Got out of the shower and BFP!!!

It's hard to get my hopes up as I've had 3 miscarriages between ds1 and ds2. I really hope it's a sticky one and I hope you all get your BFPs very soon. :fx: :HH::HH: xxxx xxxx

I'm waiting for AF, please start soon. Did a test today and it was negative. I'm cd36 today, never had a cycle this long before! But I o'd late so that's the reason. My cycles were always under 30 days. Hopefully af will arrive tommorrow or the day after. I'm dpo14 now.

[Violet Winter]

Thank you all so kindly! You are all so lovely. xxxx I really do hope it's a sticky bean! After losing 3 in a row alot of time passed and I'll be 35 next year.

You give me hope Mammacass! Still no crosshairs have been added to my temp chart so either I really didn't ovulate till Saturday or Fertility Friend is wrong which I know can happen. (I put in another high temp for tomorrows date and it put crosshairs in with Saturday as the ovulation day) I got my first positive OPK on Wednesday night and a couple positives on Thursday. Usually I ovulate the day after a positive so this month has me thrown off a bit. So that would give me one attempt O-2 and 2 attempts on 0-3 if I did ovulate on Saturday. Tried to get an attempt in on Saturday but DH was not having it :( He just got back from his trip and was tired.

[ksmom]

So sorry about your DH violet. :( Congratulations on the BFP! Lots of sticky baby dust to you.

Yay for the TWW Hopper! This is it, I can feel it!!

Sorry it's a bfn 2xblue. :(


After having lots of ovary pain for nine hours yesterday to the point of hardly being able to walk, my temp dropped this morning. :thumbsdown: It went down half a degree! I'm still certain O was yesterday but just late in the day so my temp doesn't reflect it yet. The OPKs were positive yesterday and the day before but neg. now. If ovulation doesn't actually happen until today, we're looking at an O-2 attempt with second batch. Crap. I don't like those odds. :(

There will be loads of us testing around the same time!! Hoping for an influx of bfps soon girls! This month has been slow so hoping Violets good news has kick started the bfps!!!

[ksmom]

Thank you Hopper! I really, really hope this is it for me too. If I did indeed O yesterday which I'm certain I did because my cm has dried up and my cp is back to a non-fertile state then I'll probably test on the 25th so 10 dpo. Thanksgiving is on the 26th and I really want to be able to eat some turkey! I miss being able to eat whatever I want and however much I want!

[Poptart32]

Just had my one glob of jelly/egg whitey CM I get the day before O. My body is so random [emoji23] then tomorrow it will be watery.

Definitely great signs hun! My CM hasn't dried up, it's actually off white and quite creamy and there's quite a bit. A thanksgiving bfp would be great hun!! Keeping everything crossed for you! I know what you mean, I am fed up with this diet - so much so that I had half of my son's homemade muffin with my afternoon coffee. I suppose if I am pg my diet doesn't make too much difference as this is our last cycle trying for a bit so I'd be going off diet for at least a few weeks anyway. Breaking a few rules now doesn't seem to matter quite so much and is actually making me a bit more laidback lol.

Poptart best of luck with the attempt later!! :D Go catch that eggie xx

Thankyou but I think my symptom spotting has been short lived unfortunately. 10DPO and my temp nosedived this morning and bfn on frer.

[pinkin2011]

I have alot of pain .. so uncomfortable. I know they say you cant tell which side you ovulate from pain but why do I have so much pain only on the left side?

[ksmom]

Atomic has an essay on ovulation pain and basically it says that the pain is from a variety of things like the follicles growing (both ovaries do this in the same cycle), the actual release of the egg, and the fallopian tubes/uterus cramping. There's also fluid released with the rupture of the follicle that can irritate the abdomen. She says that despite all this it doesn't always correlate with which ovary is ovulating. I know this cycle I had the absolute worst O pains I've had in years and it was coming from the left side and then it spread all the way across my abdomen.

[Pbn3]

Solid smiley this morning! Bring on tonight!!

Pinkin I would say that's a positive!! Fx and go catch that egg! I experienced bad o pain on one side then had cramping days later on the other lol. It could mean something or nothing sorry I cant be more help!

Ladies, I am out this month. This was my third cycle with gonal F and IUI, everything looked perfect the four follies, thick lining and perfect sperm count and still things did not work out for us.

We have been trying since March this year, specialist can't really pin point any problem. I guess need to really relax my mind so thought to take break this cycle and do IUI Dec/Jan. If this dec/Jan IUI cycle did not work out then IVF we go with.

Wish you all the best!

Thanks violet, we all hope to be joining you asap :) Enjoy your non-cheat ;)

So 2dpo and my throat is feeling all scratchy! DS2 is cutting 3 teeth together and is unbelievably clingy, I am worn out with him right now! I didn't manage another attempt with DH last night, I went up to bed to read about 30 mins ahead of him and was asleep before my Kindle even turned on!! DH didn't bother waking me either. I know I've most likely Oed already but kinda thinking of having my bases covered this last cycle. I feel quite at peace with my decision to take an LE break after this cycle - though you can ask me again how I feel if this cycle is a bfn!!

Mamacass, sorry your temp went down. You're not out just yet!

Dpike and Purple, I hope you both get anniversary BFPs! How great would that be :) I got my bfp with DS1 just a couple of days before our wedding anniversary. It was the best gift!

GG8, sorry you're out this cycle. Best of luck to you with the IUI.

Hope you catch that eggie Pinkin and PBN!!

Hopper so glad you feel at peace with things. I think you had an O-2 attempt right? I think in a couple of weeks you'll be taking a break from LE....permanently. :wink:

FF says I'm 3DPO today but I think I'm more like 1-2 because of the severe O pains I had two days ago. Either way I'm in the TWW! I don't feel great about our attempt this cycle but I can't change it now. Think I'll test on the 26th (Thanksgiving). I hope to see lots of BFPs from you ladies very soon! :)

Finally got crosshairs on my chart, FF is saying I'm 3 dpo but I think I am 4 or 5 dpo but not really sure either way. So I guess the earliest I will test will be Sunday.

[ksmom]

Tfahn your temps make it look like you're 3dpo but it doesn't really match up with your OPK. I'd say O day was cd19. FX for you this cycle!

Any ladies want to hazard a guess as to what day I o'ed? FF says cd26 but I had terrible O pains cd27 afternoon to evening. Wouldn't I get that at least before or during O and not a day after?? Unless it was post ov. cramping. On cd28 the ewcm was dried up and cp was low so I think ovulation had already happened by then. I had a fallback rise last cycle so I guess that's what my temps could be doing again. :shrug:

Mammacass hoping the dip was implantation related or just a fluke. Really hoping this is your month, am willing it to happen!!



Mamacass, sorry your temp went down. You're not out just yet!


Thankyou so much ladies. However another bfn this morning on an IC, didn't bother doing a Frer lol temp did go back up a little but I am just waiting for AF now. Spoke to DH last night re our 4th cycle whether we leave it as is or change it up a bit. I'm hesitant to drop the Vitex as it really does seem to be the reason I am now ovulating at an acceptable CD. Hubby wants to keep on with what we are doing for 1 more cycle then go from there :)

I agree with poptart, with cd29 having a higher temp rise than cd27 and with all your opks and cm it all points to O on cd28.

I couldn't keep away so I am checking in. Congrats Violet, I'm FX that this is our sticky bean. DH has promised me when I get a BFP he will take me out for dinner. Enjoy your celebration.


So the cd1 of last cycle I got real sick with a chest cold, and now as of cd1 i'm sick again. I actually went to the dr this time and she put me on antibotics. Hopefully it won't affect my ttc and get a bfp this coming cycle. I should O between 25th though the 28th and then on to another 2ww. Good luck everyone.

[Poptart32]

Mamma that's a good plan keep going as you are! We WILL get our longed BFP's.. This month is our month [emoji6]

I'm sorry mammacass! I was so hoping the hip propping would have been key this cycle! But it's wonderful to hear you and your DH are on the same page exactly with regard to this sway journey. My DH just doesn't get it at all, makes life harder than it needs to be at times!

Ksmom I hope you are right lol. I am sick to my eye teeth of this diet (diet? What diet? Today and yesterday have been complete washouts!!) As for your O day hun while I am no chart expert, or even chart learner lol I do think that O would have occurred AFTER the cramping. Does that put you at 2dpo then?

Sorry to hear you are ill signing! Feel better soon x

[ksmom]

Thanks ladies! I think I'll go with CD28 then because of my temps which makes me 1DPO. Ovusoft says CD27 and FF says 26 so we're all in disagreement. lol

I've still got my fingers crossed for you Mamacass. A temp rise sounds promising!

I know what you mean Hopper. I'm SO over this diet!! Eating LE for 6 months has about driven me mad! I just want to go back to stuffing my face whenever I want. :big smile:

Sorry you're sick signingmommy. Feel better soon and good luck this cycle!

Poptart ever since you mentioned eating a brownie, I couldn't stop thinking about having one. lol I finally caved and ate one but just one! :shemademe: It was soooo good...definitely hit the spot!

[dpike00]

Soooo sorry Gg8!!!

I think cd18 for tfahn and cd28 for ksmom. Good luck and I hope it is a speedy tww for both of you!

I'm having no real symptoms this tww compared to last month. The only thing I have is creamy CM. Last month my boobs were so tender and my uterus area was tender. I'm hoping no pms is a good thing!

[signingmommyfor3]

So question for you ladies... AF already ended this yesterday evening putting it at technically 2 days, 48 hours long. Do you think I should be concerned that this is affecting my ability to conceive and get BFP. Last couple cycles it's been 3 days and this one started Saturday evening around 7 and it ended yesterday, Monday, evening.

No, it shouldn't have anything g to do with you being able to get pregnant or not. The month I got my BFP, AF was only two days of what I would call real bleeding (light compared to what I typically get), followed by two days of very light spotting (only a panty liner needed).

FX and GL to you! I hope you get your BFP soon!!


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!

[purple]

My periods are really light. I get one medium day and then the rest is pretty light. I could probably go without even changing my pads for most of it (of course I do change them otherwise it would be yucky).

[hopper]

I definitely agree with the other ladies signing. I don't see any reason it would impact getting pg this cycle. Best of luck hun :)

3DPO and crawling by lol. Have a horrible headache I can't shift and my mood is less than desirable - I was so irritable all day yesterday and again today (less than yesterday thus far but not by much!) really hoping its not my PMS flaring up early!

[2xblue]

AF arrived today. Actually I'm just glad it did as I was sure I wasn't pregnant. Luteal phase was 15 days this cycle so really happy about that (it was only 7 days last cycle). I just really hope this cycle I will get pregnant! If I O around the same time as last two cycles I can test just before Christmas, yay! Would be lovely Christmas present.

[Quinn31]

Congrats Violet. I hope you hear good news all around soon!!

Gg8. I went through a similar thing with my last dd. it's so hard to take all the medications and have everything seem perfect and get a bfn. I hope next month is your month.

I'm 5dpo but with our horrible timing I'm not counting on much this month. I was initially hopeful that maybe I O'd at night so temp rise was delayed but I had a huge drop before the temp rise so I don't think it's possible. I'm due on thanksgiving so that's sad but oh well. I have to get over it and be ready to move on next month. Good luck to everyone. Seems like most people are in the sloooow tww.

Signingmommy, my periods have been shorter and lighter since doing LE. Last cycle AF was only four days long and light in flow when I normally have heavy periods that last about a week. I don't think the length of your AF has any bearing on your ability to get pregnant.

Hopper maybe the grouchiness is a good sign. ;) I think it's the progesterone our bodies produce after O that makes us cranky.

2xblue, sorry AF showed up but yay for a long luteal phase! That's great it doubled. I really hope you get a Christmas BFP. How great would that be!

Quinn, the same thing happened to me this cycle. I thought I o'ed at night w/ a delayed temp rise but my temp dropped the next morning instead of going up. I don't feel good about our attempt either but what's done is done I suppose. I've got everything crossed that you'll get a surprise BFP for Thanksgiving!!

2DPO today. Blah. The TWW is crawling by at snail's pace. I keep thinking about how I'm going to miss out on eating turkey on Thanksgiving....depressing. DH is pretty sad about it too as he's getting tired of being vegetarian. He's such a trooper doing all of these things to help sway. I'm already trying to plan out in my head what I want to do differently next cycle (yes I'm being a negative Nancy! ha). Given my cycle lengths I probably won't O until around Christmas or the New Year.

Come on ladies, bring on the BFPs!! :D

[Laurenk1424]

Same exact for me! No symptoms this tww either. Last month I was nauseated, sore boobs, restless nights. Even if I'm not preggo, I would rather this tww than the last few I've had. 8dpo for me.

Sorry AF showed up 2x! Hopefully the extended LP will make for a Christmas bfp!! :)

Quinn I would love to see you get a Thanksgiving bfp!! I have seen loads of stories here where sweaters thought for sure their attempts had been at the wrong time or not enough and that was the cycle they got a surprise bfp - fingers crossed you end up joining their ranks! X

Lol Ksmom I'll take anything I can get! Once I can blame the grumpiness on something other than myself!! I'm like a bear with a sore paw! Thankfully the headache subsided later this afternoon, it's still lurking I can feel it in my temples but it's not mind numbing like earlier. I know the tiredness isn't helping its DS2 is really suffering with his teeth and DS1 decided this AM was the day he wanted to get up at 5am so I'm just shattered right now. I can totally agree this tww is crrrrrrrrrrawling!!! I can't believe I'm only 3dpo, each dpo feels like 5 lmbo! Hopefully you are being negative Nancy unnecessarily (try say that 3 times fast lol) Come on sticky bfp x

8dpo Lauren!! Argh, I will be waiting for your testing day! Sending loads of sticky bfp goodness your way! I know what you mean about symptoms lol, I could have wrote a book in September on my copious "signs" and then AF showed early! I swear I was devo!! Symptoms, if you could call them that, for me this cycle are just tiredness (kid related!) and some serious trapped wind! Well actually, I don't know if it's actual wind, it's more so the pain feels like that.

I alternate between thinking this is our cycle, the timing was right, the attempt was good except I had the big O but then again my CM being so scant on past cycles maybe I needed to help the swimmers along. It was my first cycle propping my hips and lying on my tummy, I can't get pg if the swimmers can't get in there so I didn't jump and dump as fast as previous cycles. Ugh, at least 8 days til testing! I have a feeling I'll be testing sooner than later. I remembered last night that I got my bfp on DS2 only 10 days after my +opk which would have been about 8dpo!! Lol grasping at straws here 😜

Sorry I haven't been on much it's been a very busy couple days. Sorry to those whose af showed :(

Fx hopper! Hope the next week flys by so you'll be at testing time!

Afm - my temp took a nose dive instead of rising this morning so I'm quite confused lol. My cm is definately post o so I know I have oed but maybe for the first time ever I oed the day of pos opk rather then the next day. I'll attach pics of my opks. Cd13 I got a solid smiley and also used first response dip tests which for once I seemed to have no issues with. Definately pos opk cd13. Dtd 10pm that night as wanted as late attempt as possible for o day cd14. However my temp this morning dipped cd15 so who knows. I know I've oed so I guess thats all that matters. Will be interesting to see what ff does with crosshairs in a few days. Oh and my cm was still watery yesterday morning/lunch which would normally make me think I oed yesterday afternoon/last night as this morning it is its usual post o lotiony type????http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/18/ead6ab15270e2d63cdbed25258f84402.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/18/cb023f374c35ab8475f08be508ce8821.jpg

Hi ladies tested again this morning at 12dpo and got bfn on frer. AF hasn't showed as yet though and Cx high and firm. Due today or next few - average 11 days on FF. Good luck to all of those in the TWW [emoji4]

Sorry mammacass :( trust our bodies to rub it in with a later then usual af!

Well I said to dh this morning that if we dont get pregnant this cycle then the tarot card reader I seen was wrong. I went to the same lady (she travels around the state) twice and 18-24 months apart and both times she told me she seen 3 children lol. Well I plan on going on the pill after this cycle so I cant see it happening after that [emoji23]

Edited to add: I want to go on the pill to help with hormonal issues only so if there's something else I can take I will. Be seeing my doc about it anyway :) (unless of course I get a bfp)

I'm really interested to see how your chart goes pbn, I would have imagined you Oed the day after +opk but if temps aren't lining up hoping your attempt was perfectly timed :) I hope that tarot card reader was spot on hun!! I keep thinking of what my friends mom (she's a medium) told my friend back in September - that I would have an early August 2016 due date. At the time it made no sense cause my projected cycles would have given me either an end of July due date or end of August due date if we conceived in December. Then as you know last cycle was longer than anticipated so if we got our bfp this cycle I'd be due like August 4th or something! I'm hoping SO bad she's right!!

Welcome to the tww essnce x

Ah Mammacass I am so sorry to hear it was another BFN! I am glad the Vitex is working for you though hun, hoping that AF stays away or if she arrives I'm hoping December is your month x

2perfectboys sorry for two bfns. Hoping for a late one for you!

4dpo and had a dream last night we got a bfp this cycle. Woke up so disappointed! DS2 had another super unsettled night, I am just beat!!

[Pbn3]

2perfectboys sorry for bfns:(.

Hopper thank you! You've been such a wonderful support these last few cycles. I hope both our tarot readings are correct!! That's so weird that yours would give you an early august due date this cycle!! Cant wait till you test! Your bfp will give me so much hope! Its so hard not to feel negative myself though :( and for my chart and opks, cm to not line up is like a kick in the guts!! I don't normally experience a fall back ib temp like this so I really don't know what to make of it. Plus one of my boys broke my salt lamp yesterday that I've had since March when I first started le diet so I could either take all this as a sign its all over lol or maybe just maybe I dont need it anymore! Hoping for the latter!

[purple]

Sorry about the bfns 2perfectboys :(

9dpo tomorrow. Tempted to test as I have a function tomorrow night which will have drinks. I will probably just have 1 drink.

Your chart is really strange Pbn, hopefully you see a temp rise tomorrow. It does look like you O'd as your digital OPKs are normally pretty accurate.

[mammacass]

Sorry Pbn I didn't comment on your chart as I have no idea lol it's hard to interpret but I think the next few days temps will hopefully make it clearer for you x

Wow hopper it sounds like destiny with the way your cycles have played out, fingers crossed! You girls are really making me want to go and get a reading, I have been contemplating it for a while but just haven't gotten there.

Oooh purple I can't wait for you to test! Have you had much in he way of symptoms?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[purple]

No symptoms at all this month!

[Pbn3]

Thanks Purple! And yes my chart has thrown a real spanner in the works lol. If I ignore temps and go by past history and cm I oed cd14. However there is a slight possibility I oed early hours too hence the cd14 temp rise and maybe my cm had changed by that night (I didn't check after lunch as just assumed I was oing that day :)) who knows lol! Will see whatI temps do over next couple days.

Mammacass the lady that did my cards was the first and last time I've had them read lol other than a reading over the phone with a friend. She was great and I never once mentioned wanting more kids either reading - first reading was pregnant with ds2 (cant remember if I was showing or not), second time was either late last year or early this year and at the end of reading she was like 'hang on, I don't know whether you're looking at this or not but there's a 3rd child here waiting to be born'. I was thrilled of course as she hadn't mentioned it the whole reading and I was thinking well its not gonna happen lol. But in hindsight now it feels like a load of bull as surely I would've been happily pregnant by now. I find it hard to believe it'll happen on the cycle I've fully given up :) anyway we'll see - and if by some miracle her prediction comes true I'll be happy to pm you her name and number!!!

[mammacass]

It seems on this site many ladies have pretty much given up, then get there surprise BFP - hopefully this will be true for you also - less stress etc and Yes if it comes true I definately want that number lol where is she based?

No, I seen her in person both times, I'd never met her before I dont even know if she does over the phone I wouldn't think so though :) the over the phone reading I mentioned was with a friend of mine which was pretty much unrelated to ttc lol, I was just stating that these were the only readings I've had. This lady I sent fb pic of I only went to as a friend went and said she was awesome so I went out of curiosity the first time, 2nd time I wanted to see if she'd say the same thing regarding kids (she did). I've also just read she used to travel with the psychic expo which I didn't know (never been to one lol)

[Pbn3]

Sorry I haven't explained it very well lol. This lady is a travelling psychic and I seen her when she was visiting my town on two different occasions two or so years apart. The phone reading I had was with a friend and totally unrelated :) sorry mammacass I'm really tired and not making much sense lol hopefully this clears it up :)

Aww thank you pbn, just want to try return the support of you other tww-ers :) I think there really is such a wonderful and understanding set of ladies on here! It makes me sad to think some of us will move onto the due date forum and some of us will move to the Dec TWW, it would be beyond awesome to see all of us get our bfps this cycle!!

As for your salt lamp - the first thing that came into my head was if its broken then you just don't need it anymore!! Glass half full ;) It really sucks that your O signs aren't lining up cause I know how anxious that must make you but do try to believe this cycle will play out the way it is supposed to xx

[hopper]

Oh purple I cant wait for you to test!!! Everything crossed this is your cycle, its the ones WITHOUT symptoms that seem to be having most success here of late ;)

I didn't get a reading exactly mammacass though like you I had been meaning to go for one for quite some time. A mommy friend of mine (the only one who knows about my desire for a DD) saw how upset I was after AF arrived early in September so she asked her mother who's a medium in another part of the country to draw a few cards for me. Her mom has an uncanny ability to foresee pregnancies and has only ever gotten a gender prediction wrong once about 20 years ago before she started doing readings for a living. So she drew some cards and they told her that I would be due in August next year. She said the date wasn't specific. some time at the start, it would be sometime around my birthday and my fathers birthday (obviously she had no idea of our birthdays - mine is July 31 and dads is Aug 1!) but that my daughter would be early! She also said I would get more responsibility in my work life (I'm a freelance writer for several websites etc) and about a week later I got a contract for a new site to publish my articles more regularly for 2016. She said the writing is a stepping stone to my "calling". So obviously everything she said is like my dreams coming true so trying to take it all with a large pinch of salt - its hard though!!

thanks poptart xx I hope you're on the money lol. Yay for tww!! What day do you reckon you'll test? Did you have an O-1 attempt in the end do you think? We had our attempt almost a week ago but I'm only 4dpo so it really feels like its dragging this month lol.

So ladies - who's due to begin the testing? Isn't Magical due to test soon? So excited for you!!! Lets hope thats the start of the bfps, this month has been very lacking.

[ksmom]

Pbn, you may have ovulated on CD14 but your temp hasn't reflected it yet. I had the same thing happen to me last cycle and it looks like this cycle too. I heard it can happen if there's a delayed reaction to the progesterone so BBT doesn't go up right away. It looks like your temps have a fallback rise which usually happens on 2DPO. I'm interested to see what your temps do in the next few days!

Mamacass sorry it's a BFN but I hope you still get your BFP! :)

Sorry for the bfn twoperfectboys :( It could still be early, FX.

Hopper I hope your dream and the psychic were right!! When DS2 was 2.5 months old I had a vivid dream I got a BFP (we def. weren't trying) so I thought I'd test the next morning for shits and giggles. It turned out positive and I about pissed my pants! lol Turns out it was just residual hcg from my pregnancy with him. LOL

Purple I've got my fingers crossed we'll see a BFP from you very, very soon!!! No symptoms still sounds promising to me! I swear the months I had the fewest symptoms were the ones I was pregnant.

Good luck essence, FX this is your month!

Poptart, your chart looks like you may have o'ed on cd14. O-1 is great timing. FX for a bfp!

So today I'm anywhere from 3-5DPO. lol I thought FF would change its prediction as the days went on but it's still saying I'm 5dpo. I disagreed with FF last cycle but considering when I got my bfp, I think FF was right. I'm still trying to hold out on testing until the 26th which would put me between 10-12dpo. Too early for symptoms but I'm quite bloated and I'm so tired! I've been exhausted for the past two days that it makes doing cardio such a chore. By the afternoon, I can barely keep my eyes open.

[signingmommyfor3]

I'm really interested to see how your chart goes pbn, I would have imagined you Oed the day after +opk but if temps aren't lining up hoping your attempt was perfectly timed :) I hope that tarot card reader was spot on hun!! I keep thinking of what my friends mom (she's a medium) told my friend back in September - that I would have an early August 2016 due date. At the time it made no sense cause my projected cycles would have given me either an end of July due date or end of August due date if we conceived in December. Then as you know last cycle was longer than anticipated so if we got our bfp this cycle I'd be due like August 4th or something! I'm hoping SO bad she's right!!

Welcome to the tww essnce x

Ah Mammacass I am so sorry to hear it was another BFN! I am glad the Vitex is working for you though hun, hoping that AF stays away or if she arrives I'm hoping December is your month x

2perfectboys sorry for two bfns. Hoping for a late one for you!

4dpo and had a dream last night we got a bfp this cycle. Woke up so disappointed! DS2 had another super unsettled night, I am just beat!!

Really hoping to see some BFP soon.bits funny you ladies are talking about this because less than a week ago I had another appointment over the phone with a spiritual medium. 1st time I met her in person in May, only went to be supportive of a friend whose father passes in April and he was like a father to me. She knew I had 3 boys without me saying anything and then told me that if I didn't want any more that I needed to take care of it now because she saw a little girl that was mine and DH. 2nd time I met with her in person in June and we still weren't ttc yet and I went to talk about some things I had heard about my grandfather that disturbed me. At the end of the conversation I was getting ready to leave and she asked me if I was pregnant, I told her no and she told me it wouldn't be long and my girl was still there. So this last time, last Friday, was over the phone because she does both, was to talk to her about if I was making the right decisions concerning my boys and emergency custody. At the end of the conversation I told her that we were finally ttc and she said she knew at the beginning of the phone call that either I was pregnant or will be soon. She said that I needed to stop being a POAS addict and that she was seeing Christmas. Then she said either I will be pregnant by this Christmas or already have a baby by next Christmas. So according to her I'll get my BFP this cycle or by beginning of April. FX that we all get what we are wanting.

5 DPO according to FF but I think I'm more like 7 dpo, I will be testing on Sunday at the earliest.

Threw my back out real good yesterday, it was extremely painful this morning so I broke down had took 3 Advil. I really don't like taking any medicine if I don't have too. I hate when my back acts up, it always takes like a 7 days for it to go back to normal. But I have soooo many things to do for Thanksgiving next week at our house, just really bad timing!

Good luck to everyone in the 2WW

[netti02]

I love all this chatter of using spiritual mediums 😃

One of the main reasons i tried for no5. She informed i was to have a baby asap after ds4 and would be due in the beginning of the year. She mentioned this would be a harder pregnancy so we'll see how that goes. Im also going to see her in person next week so will she what she says 😃

Wow, so many great physic readings! I hope they all come true for you Pbn3, Hopper, and Signing!

Poptart - - I'll be testing with a FRER at 11dpo again. I think that is next Saturday.

[Laurenk1424]

So tomorrow will be 10dpo. I'm so scared to test early.... I might wait until 12dpo. So far zero symptoms. Here's my chart http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/19/5b1bbbe01048fbf70a3605b97be75613.jpg

No symptoms yet, here's my chart. This is my 9th month swaying and I let go of pretty much everything except LE. I'm honestly starting to lose hope. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/19/8d4eeb88486f923e0aedddf200324513.jpg

Oh ksmom I'm sorry but I laughed so hard at that! Your dream came true but with a twist lol. Brilliant, obviously not brilliant when you initially saw the bfp but in hindsight you can have a bit of a giggle I'm sure. The 26th is a lovely day to test!! I really hope you have even more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving ;) I can definitely empathise with the symptoms - I am so bloated I am honestly scaring myself! If I'm not pg I have no other excuse for it!! Having niggly pains again all day today, sorta like I remember from the boys but then I'm questioning my "intuition" cause I want it so bad. I KNEW I was pg on the boys, no questions asked. I kinda feel I am pg again but then I felt that way in September so who knows!!

Signing that's a great story!!! Your psychic sounds really great, I hope she's right!! It's fantastic to have that hope to hold onto!!

Sorry to hear you are in pain tfahn! Hope you are feeling right as rein asap! So Sunday testing would have you are what? 8dpo no? Hoping for a nice early one. I MIGHT test Monday before my obgyn appt. I'm SO impatient!!

Oh netti you must let us know what she says next week!!! :)

Thought it was a fluke earlier but my CP is still medium soft and closed super tight. It's always slightly open but I can't feel an opening anymore....symptom spotting of the highest degree!! Yes I am guilty! Someone stop me!! I think I am setting myself up for a massive fall!!!

[tfahn]

Hopper, FF shows 5dpo today but I really believe I am 7 dpo. I don't agree with their crosshairs this cycle so going by the day I think I O'ed I would be 10 DPO on Sunday.

Oh sorry I misread your last post! Just had a look at your chart -honestly I have zero, no less than zero clue about temping but your attempts look GREAT for blue!! Sending you all my blue bfp dust ;) x

[Pbn3]

Hi ladies just quickly checking in! I had a small temp rise still not what I'd expect post o but oh well. I'm working all day today at my old job where I worked pre ds1. Feels sooo good to do some work and keep my mind of things :) I really miss working lol don't get to do it much outside my being a mum job! I'll pop in again tomorrow after temping and hopefully chart will be making more sense :)

So excited for each and every one of us this cycle!!! Bring on testing time!! Oh and coincedently I checked my folic acid supply and have enough to see me thru to 8dpo. Another sign maybe?lol

Hopper your symptoms are sounding great! Symptom spot away I say!!

[pinkin2011]

Hi ladies I hope everyone is well. I will catch up on this thread tonight when I can get on the computer. I am 2dpo and I am going to start testing at 8dpo . I really dont expect a bfp this month due to hubby working away and having a 3.5 day cut off but my fingers are crossed that I do fall pregnant! !!

[Magical22]

Hi ladies sorry it's been so long FIL passed away suddenly last week so DH and I have been planning a funeral it's been tough espically because we had to fly interstate, funeral was yesterday.

Been testing been negative except for this morning when I thought I saw a slight line will test again tomorrow to see if it's real! 9 more hours to go.

[tfahn]

Sorry to hear of your FIL's passing Magical. Totally see a line though, fingers crossed for a darker line in the morning.

[hopper]

Oh Magical I am so sorry to hear of your FILs passing xxx
But I have seen that line on both my laptop and tablet screen now and its there on both!! Oh I am crossing everything for tomorrow's test my dear xxx

[Laurenk1424]

10dpo BFN today. I expected it. I'm so done getting my hopes up. Maybe I'm not meant to have any more children :/

Pbn my temps aren't all that either! Im hoping they go up more tomorrow! I was really cold this morning though and when I re-tested after falling back asleep it was lots higher.

Pinkin all the best for your 8dpo test ive got everything crossed for you!

Magical that's so sad about your father in law. there is totally a line there though. Can't wait for tomorrow's update [emoji120][emoji120] we need some good news on this thread!

Sorry your temps aren't great poptart and pbn, hopefully the coming days will shed more light x

Sorry for the bfn Lauren (((hugs))) 10dpo is still early, hoping for a late one for you x

Lol pbn don't encourage my sympom spotting, you are the WORST influence haha. Am cramping a lot today and an abundance of creamy CM. Finding it very hard not to get my hopes up. 5dpo....think I will test at 8dpo lmbo!! No doubt it will be a bfn but I need to feed my poas addiction ;)

[ksmom]

Pbn, I soooo hope this is THE month for you! :) I'd love it if everyone on this board could get their BFPs really soon so we can all be in the same DDG!

Pinkin, good luck to you! Your attempt still sounds fine to me...I somehow managed to get preggo last cycle with a 3 day cutoff so there's definitely hope!

Magical I'm so, so sorry to hear about your FIL. :( I'm happy though that you got a BFP!!! I can totally see a faint line there. FX for a darker line next test!

Sorry it's a neg. Lauren :( Hopefully you just tested too early. FX

Hopper I really hope those symptoms you're having are because you're pregnant! :) I've got everything crossed your intuition is right. I expect to see a BFP from you next week. ;)

I guess I'm 6DPO now that all three fertility charts I'm using agree my O date was the 14th. I don't know why but I have like no hope of being pregnant this cycle. I think it's because I feel like we messed up our attempt. :( I did start getting crampy yesterday evening and my ovaries were hurting all morning. I must have super PMS because I've been a mega b**** today. ZERO patience with the kiddos. The rash I get from my food allergies has been flaring up and I don't know why because I've been super careful about what I've been eating. It's really not helping my grumpiness! Okay rant over. haha

[Pbn3]

Thanks ksmom!! Can you please post a pic of your chart? You're getting so close to testing time, hang in there!

Hopper getting so excited for your testing time! Only 3 more days woohoo!

Big hugs Lauren! Can I ask if your using antihistamines and/or refresh (or similar) still? Might be time to post in the ttc a girl thread what you are doing and have done and if there's anything atomic suggests dropping/adding if you don't get a late bfp this cycle. Totally understand how your feeling mentally. Be kind to yourself today xxoo

Poptart I'm going to look at your chart after this. With my terrible temps I just keep telling myself I had an attempt day of o or maybe hours b4 so regardless of how crappy my chart looks and how low my temps are there IS still a chance. Its quite discouraging though :( I hope your temps flare right up over next few days!

Magical! wake up wake up wake up!!! I'm literally holding my breath waiting for your post!

[mammacass]

Magical I am so sorry for your loss x

Desperate to see your next test though!! Can definately see a faint line there Hun, sooo happy for you [emoji322]

Sorry for the bfn lauren, I have my fingers crossed it will happen for you soon x

AFM I got my hopes up a little this morning, CD14 and AF which was expected 2 days ago still hadn't arrived, I had a nosedive temp yesterday and then my temperature went back up again, so I was thinking that was a bit odd - I took an IC which was negative and then of course when I wiped AF showed her face lol could have saved myself the test if I'd wiped first ha ha looking back at my chart I think maybe I Od 2 days later and she showed right on time [emoji4]

not feeling too down about it though, just wanting to move onto next cycle and maybe I can jag a Christmas BFP [emoji319][emoji318]🏼

I didn't use any of those things this cycle or last months. The only sway I have now is LE, e4d and a tiny bit of sylk. Hubs did take cranberry as well.

Mammacass that happened to me a couple cycles ago lol! Poas and before the test had started registering bang! Af started I was so annoyed lol! I'll have everything crossed for an xmas bfp for you!!

Lauren are you still charting? Can you post a pic if so?

Poptart I think your temps are looking good! Get the confusion though! It's such a pain when opk, cm, cp and temps dont line up. Looks like we're in the same boat this cycle lol - into the unknown we go!! My temps are still lower than usual post o but as per previous post I'm trying not to dwell on it. Here's my bizarre chart as o this morninghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/20/e4cb347b51cf5ffe28f8d8ca62ab2bd4.jpg

Thats a nice temp spike this morning Lauren! Don't give up yet! Remember implantation can take place from 6-12dpo and you cant realistically expect a bfp for two days after that. We are all very naughty for testing so early lol! Definately don't rule yourself yet!

[ksmom]

Pbn, here's my chart:
28580

[Violet Winter]

Magical I'm sorry to hear about you FIL. It's looking like a positive test! Yay!!!! Can't wait to see the next test getting darker.

Lauren I'm sorry for bfn but it's not over just yet.

Ksmom your symptoms at 6dpo sound alot like mine did. My fingers are crossed for bfp!

Mammacass I'm sorry that af arrived. Bring on next o day. xx
