April is going to be awesome 2ww thread!

[Pbn3]

Hi all! Thought I'd kick this off with an intro about myself and hope you all follow suit. Bit of a get to know each other straight up kinda idea :)

Many of you already know me. I talk alot hahaha but sometimes take a step back too as this will be cycle 12 for me. First cycle on clomid days 3-7 after some ordinary fsh and amh test results. Sticking to e2d cd8-18 as per my ob recommendations. Due to o hopefully in 4/5 days :) if clomid doesn't affect my usual o day/s. Miscarried cycle 8 so at least I know I can get pregnant and here's hoping for a sticky bean this cycle! Spent better part of last year swaying pink but have dropped all swaying and just ttc! Good luck everyone! Cant wait to see some bfps!!

[Beautifulrainbow]

Hi all,
History: been ttc for a long while now, joined gd April last year, only had 4 afs in last year, discovered I had pcos,(atomic spotted it 1st from my symptoms, Thankyou atomic!) had test to confirm it, put on a waiting list to see national health fertility specialist (still waiting for that appointment it on April 7th) got fed up and sort out private treatment and paid for it myself. Tried 1 round of clomid and I didn't respond at all to it. Suffered with thin womb lining too so doc tried me back on bc pill for 28 days tried another round of clomid still nothing but womb lining was now thickening. So doc made a decision to stop that cycle (with some pushing) put me on metformin induced a af to start new cycle. Had a baseline scan while af was here then started gonal f injections for 8 days. Had a scan yesterday and I have 1 lovely egg ready and waiting to go. Yay so 7pm last night I had the trigger injection.
I have not actually od yet, but as I took the trigger shot I know I'm going to o tomorrow morning and the officially be in the tww.
We bd this morning because we fell asleep last night oops! Never mind. Hoping I will have a girl sticky bean soon!

When are you all going to test? I have seen some people test every days so they can see when is the earliest they would get a BFP. But I know I cannot do that as the trigger shot is going to give me false postives for at least 10-14 days ( nurse said 14- instruction leaflet say 10).

Sending sticky baby dust to all! And wishing you all get the gender you want.xx

[Beautifulrainbow]

Pbn3 I remember you posting, I think you posted on some of my threads too!
Is this your 1st baby?

[Magical22]

Hi ladies I'm subbing in to follow and stalk you all. But DH and I have decided that we are going to do HT in LA, it's such a huge scary decision but that's now our plan. [emoji92][emoji92][emoji92]

Not going over late June so just preparing until then.

Omg magical!!!!!! What a major decision you and dh had to make!! I'm so happy for you but just wish it was happening now lol! I literally cannot wait to see you pregnant with a sticky bean and now a pink one!! Beyond excited for you!!!!

Beautifulrainbow I have 2 boys already, the youngest turns 2 in May :) so while I swayed for a girl last year I am so ready for a blue bundle as I just want to get pregnant. My time and fertility is running out and I feel very blessed that I no longer care about gender. If I'd fallen pregnant early on and got an opposite I'm not sure how I would've felt so that's why I feel lucky now that I didn't. Does that make sense??? I almost feel like I've dodged the gender disappointment bullet but been hit by the infertile one instead lol

I suffed with dissapointment and depression after I found out my 3rd was a boy. Wasn't depressed so much because my 3 was a boy there was other factors going on at the time which got me into that state the dissapointment just added to it, because I naïvely assumed it had to be a girl 3rd time round. But in the end I got over it and On my way! gosh he is the sweetest boy ever, lovely to joke about and make people laugh. I swear he saved our Marriage too!
So if I have a 4th boy I would be happy too and he will be loved I know from going on experiance, but of cause I would like to have said I did everything in my power for it to have been a girl, not for everyone else for me. If that doesn't happen then I know I was only ever meant to be a boy mum. After everything I have just been through I'd just mostly be thankful that we got pregnant, to smell that baby smell and have baby cuddles for one last time.:happy:

[Mulberry Smurf]

Just popping in to wish everyone lots of luck! Looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs in April :) xx

The only way it happened was because we won a holiday to LA, or else we wouldn't of been able to afford it. So DH and I have been thinking hard about it the past few weeks. We thought we would give it a go and if it doesn't work we have our 2 frosties back here to use. Huge decision but I'm not putting any pressure on myself telling myself it prob won't work.

[farmgirl33]

Hi all. Most of you know me from other ttc tww threads. 4th cycle ttc number 4, swaying boy. Unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy 1st cycle ttc in December. Falling pregnant is harder than I thought it was going to be as I fell so easily with my first 2 dds, then with dd3 it took 3 cycles as we were trying to follow shettles timing for a boy & only dtd on o day. The cycle I fell pregnant I'd had enough as I knew that limiting to o day was not working so we dtd 0-3, 0-2 & 0 & bam I was pregnant. Anyway I'm 11/12 Dpo & expect AF tomorrow or Saturday. Haven't tested with a frer yet this cycle, (have used Internet cheapies though)trying to hold out & not waste any.

April is going to be Awesome!
Hi All, Month 12 TTC baby #2 for me, DD is 2 years old, had a miscarriage in early January so looking for a sticky bean too. On 100mg Clomid this month days 3-7, I ovulated on CD17 so 3 DPO today. Turning the big 40 this year so would be thrilled with either a boy or girl, or one of each :). Plan on testing on CD10 which would be April 7th. Good luck everyone.

[Pbn3]

Farmgirl hope af doesn't show and you get a surprise bfp!

Fx tfahn!! 3dpo!! Were you still charting and if so can you share a screenshot from time to time over the next week?!

Hi! I'm getting my IUD out on the 12th so I may have my first attempt in April. Either way I'll be following all you ladies here. Good luck everyone!

[afrevert23]

Hi Ladies! I hope you don't mind if I crash your party. I am newish to the site...signed up in early Feb. I ordered a custom plan from Atomic and started swaying in mid Feb. My plan was to attempt in late July, early August, but we had an oopsie last Friday night, followed by a +opk Saturday morning. I believe I o'ed on Sunday, which would make me 4dpo. I have been swaying pink for 5 weeks.

I'm the proud mom of two boys - 4 and 18 months. My husband and I would love to add a pink bundle of joy to our family. Will be happy either way though. I did have an early miscarriage in Jan...another oopsie.

I see these 2ww threads on here often. Is there anything we are suppose to do during the 2ww? Still follow the diet?

[jennypenny]

Hi ladies!!
This will be my 2nd month ttc :)

Plan on sticking to e4days and dropping jump and dump.

Apparently I have an awkwardly positioned cervix and think that jump and dump may inhibit any little swimmers from getting to my egg!! Can imagine the little guys swimming around trying to follow a map to my cervix and getting lost then arguing with each other, resulting in a fight!! The girl sperm will just be watching on shaking their heads, checking their little sat navs instead!

Going to try an attempt on Saturday, then Wednesday, then Sunday etc x

[tfahn]

Here's my chart PBN

[signingmommyfor3]

I think I will be a bit more involved this month, Lol. I have 3 beautiful boys (2 that I have given birth to). DH and I want to add just one more to our brew, would love to have a girl. I've been ttc 10 cycles now, had 2 miscarriages in the process, July and Jan(identical twins), 3 miscarriages overall. I had been on LE diet for 2years preparing for when I ttc and during Ttc. DH and I decided on cd1 of this cycle to stop swaying and just ttc because I have always been an extremely fertile person, 3 of my pregnancies were while on bc, but feel that swaying is just inhibiting my fertility too much and we are so ready to have our last baby, girl or boy. Today is cd6 and I typically O between cd11 and cd16.

[tfahn]

Good luck SigningMommy, hope you get your BFP this month.

[Princess Mom]

Hi ladies hoping we all get a sticky bfp in April!

[Princess Mom]

I been temping since December even did with DS who now 2.
My temps after ovulation would always dip here and there, but this time they just continue to rise or stuck around same at the start. I woke up to some sharp twinges on the sides. Hoping this is okay my temps are this way

[signingmommyfor3]

Signingmommy I'm so sorry :( we both started miscarrying around the same time in January and I've never forgotten you, kept hoping once I had no hope that yours would end differently :( I am also just ttc. I gave up swaying after doing it for the better part of last year and just wish I'd had more fertility testing done earlier than later so I didn't waste so much time... Please don't think swaying had anything to do with your mc, you're carrying unnecessary guilt over that if you think it caused it. Many women naturally live the (pink) lifestyle day in day out. It's their normal. The healthiest women can and do miscarry. Your health really should not be suffering on the le diet, can you break down what you were doing sway wise and nutrition intake? Maybe you were too close to the lower limits? I'm not trying in any way to minimise or contradict your feelings but us women feel enough guilt over a mc without pointing the finger even further at ourselves and what we were doing at the time. I hope this makes sense and I hope even more you conceive your very sticky (lets say super glued) rainbow baby this cycle coming.

519b48 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48)

PBN I don't feel like you are minimizing my MC or feelings. When I was going through mine I was hoping you were going to get a good outcome. As a child I was diagnosed with type 2 protein c deficiency and protein s deficiency but have been pretty much asymptotic to most dr surprise. I started the LE diet 2 years ago and learned that I also have Celiacs and an oral pollen allergy to fresh fruits and vegetables. As I learned to adjust to both while on LE diet I was limiting my protein intake per LE girl swaying standards. I stuck to lower levels on everything because of my allergies and calorie intake has been around 1200-1350 daily. All this has actually made me start showing symptoms of my protein deficiencies. My dr has told me that I need to increase my calorie intake and triple my protein intake if I am to continue to be healthy and asymptomatic. My deficiencies normally lead to blood clotting but with a "normal" diet, protein shakes, and baby aspirin, I can continue to be healthy without having to be put on medication and anticoagulants.

I am trying to stay relaxed and be healthy this cycle. If I get a BFP this month my edd would be on my birthday.

[Princess Mom]

Cervix since after ovulation been low and hard today it's way higher and soft
Why would that be at 6dpo?

[Princess Mom]

Hi ladies!!
This will be my 2nd month ttc :)

Plan on sticking to e4days and dropping jump and dump.

I gave up on jump and dump also, I had DS that way lol

[maidentomother]

X-posted from March thread as I should O on the 1st of April at the earliest anyway.

Beautiful Rainbow, good luck, we're O buddies this cycle. I just got my positive OPK and I usually O the next day. What CD are you out of curiosity?*

Pbn3, my donor wasn't able to meet this morning but just dropped by and I inseminated 5 min ago, it's 7pm here. I did find another donor who may be able to meet tonight (he could have met earlier this afternoon but his email got put in my junk folder, grr, so I saw it too late).

He might be able to meet tomorrow morning, though my chances will be a lot lower then. Unfortunately my stupid kitten peed on my bed again so I was up very late cleaning and showering which really threw my back out. The new donor is a 2 hour drive/train ride away and I only slept 3 hours, so I'm not sure I can handle the long trip especially in so much pain.

Trying to decide what to do! I really should have left already...the new donor sounds and looks great. Maybe I should just put it off until next cycle? He's willing to help me every month for as long as it takes and lives only an hour from me, he just happens to be travelling for work right now.

FWIW, my OPK today is as dark as my 'usual positives', and darker than any OPK I got my first cycle on Clomid. But lve had significantly darker positives last cycle and 3 cycles ago, so maybe tomorrow my OPK will be evrn darker and I won't O for 2 more days? Though I did have an even bigger temp drop today and last time on Clomid O happened the day after my biggest drop/lowest temp.

Honestly, I'd love to nap right now and travel later tonight or early in the am...but I'm not a morning person and my odds of pregnancy via new donor will really suffer. So angry about my cat! She always pees on my bed at the absolute worst times, late at night.

Input from anyone greatly appreciated. For those unfamiliar with my story, you should know I've been TTC with my current donor for 13 cycles with no hint of BFP. I always conceived right away in the past with 2 other men.

[maidentomother]

Pbn3, I so hope you O when you expect to, and not on the later side like several of us have been. Late O is sooooo frustrating. I think there is a very good chance you will conceive quickly on Clomid. EOD is a great plan for best odds of conception.

BeautifulRainbow, just a heads up - regardless of what your dr saw on your scan, you may not O until later tomorrow or the day after (or even a day or two after that). It's impossible to predict when exactly O will occur based on a scan or even multiple scans, and there is a huge amount of variation in how fast eggs mature and how quickly each woman resounds to a trigger shot. The egg won't pop until it's ready, and I've seen many women O 2-4 or even more days after a trigger shot. So please keep BDing E3D or whatever your plan is while swaying, for at least the next week, to cover your bases. All of that being said, I really hope you O promptly tomorrow! Oh, and I've seen the trigger show a line on tests for as long as 16 days after. Will you test out the trigger?

Magical, that's wonderful about the vacation! I'm so excited you've decided to do HT for a girl. It just makes sense if you need IVF anyway.

Princess, your chart just keeps getting better and better! I think this might be your month hun. :)

[XXforhubby]

Yay for a new thread! I will be popping in, but I won't be TTCing until May or June.

Maiden- boy this is a tough situation. If you weren't in so much pain, I'd say go for it with the new donor. I think I'd set up a meeting for next month with the new donor. I think this is will be a welcome change! I hope this brings your long awaited BFP!!

[maidentomother]

tfahn, I really think you Oed on CD18. Which is actually better for your sway IMO.

Welcome Inforthree. What kind of IUD do you have?

afrevert, good luck this month! If you aren't pregnant, will you keep trying after this cycle or wait until when you originally planned to TTC? Definitely stick with the diet all cycle long.

jenny, I have a very extreme tilted cervix too. I've never done jump and dump.

signingmommy, 5 of my 6 pregnancies were conceived while on birth control/condoms/trying to avoid pregnancy, most from one attempt 4-7 days before O. And now here I am, actively TTC for the first time ever, and after 13 cycles at least half of which had very well timed attempts, I still haven't seen even a hint of BFP. It is so discouraging.

My Ovulation Chart (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4a5f89)

Oooh, that's tricky! I would definitely be tempted to use the new donor, at least to organise for next month anyway. Maybe he will work out to be a better option for you and get that bfp!!

You have been so patient with using your current donor, maybe this new guy will be a nice fresh start?

That's interesting that you also have a tilted cervix!! It's weird as I had never known about it before, but at my last smear test the nurse mentioned it. I obviously never jumped and dumped when I conceived my boys (as I had never heard of it haha!) so am not sure if it would actually be a problem for me conceiving. But just have a gut feeling that it may be more awkward for to expel the semen (hate that word lol!) too quickly.

Happy to leave it out this month :)

[jennypenny]

I understand your concerns maiden, but I'm thinking positive, and I just had a positive OPK woo hoo so looks like I wil o tomorrow. It will be cd13 then.
Yay I get a o buddy, and someone who has been very supporttive with lots of info for me over the past few months.

My positive opk,

didn't even have a faint line last night was completely negative. :rofl::pray:

Wowsers this thread took off while I slept lol!!!

Hi and welcome to everyone new!

Princessmom your chart is looking so good!! I agree with maidens prediction that this may well be your bfp!! When are you planning on testing?

Maiden I'm so happy you got to inseminate!! Even more happier that you've found another donor! If you can manage it pain wise I'd definately still try for a morning attempt, you may not o until late tomorrow night or even the following morning/day and its so close to o that personally I'd have to try - you've waited long enough!! Imagine if you got a bfp first go using him!! I would also lay the groundwork with him for next cycle. I am beyond excited for you!! I really hope you're able to manage it pain wise, imagine how excited you'll be once its all done and you can relax knowing you have that little extra help this cycle. A little can go a long way lol!!

Tfahn so excited for you!! Are you getting follow up prog bw done?

Signingmommy really hoping you get your bfp this cycle! How wonderful that your edd would be your birthday!

Big temp dip this morning, feeling AF is on her way today or tomorrow. This chart is if I leave ff on advanced setting which puts me at 13dpo today. The next chart is if I change to Fam setting which changes my o date to cd19 so puts me at 11dpo. Either way just waiting for AF to come.

What do you mean by test out the trigger?

[Pbn3]

Beautifulrainbow thought I'd answer as its probably middle of the night where maiden is. Test out the trigger just means doing hpts to test the hcg out of your system caused by trigger shot. So you test daily to watch the test line fade out/disappear, then if it comes back or darkens increasingly again you'll know its a true bfp. That's my understanding of it. Some people do this to avoid the confusion of wondering if a pos hpt is a true bfp or still hcg from trigger.

Oh brill Thankyou, guess i better get some cheap tests then :cool:

[Pbn3]

Maiden just a thought about meeting new donor either this cycle or next. Does someone know where you are going (address) and the name of the man you're meeting. As exciting as a new donor is, it couldn't hurt to take precautions and have a friend who knows when and where and how long you'll be? I don't mean to come across as paranoid lol and you've probably already thought of this anyway :)

tfahn, I really think you Oed on CD18. Which is actually better for your sway IMO.

Welcome Inforthree. What kind of IUD do you have?

afrevert, good luck this month! If you aren't pregnant, will you keep trying after this cycle or wait until when you originally planned to TTC? Definitely stick with the diet all cycle long.

jenny, I have a very extreme tilted cervix too. I've never done jump and dump.

signingmommy, 5 of my 6 pregnancies were conceived while on birth control/condoms/trying to avoid pregnancy, most from one attempt 4-7 days before O. And now here I am, actively TTC for the first time ever, and after 13 cycles at least half of which had very well timed attempts, I still haven't seen even a hint of BFP. It is so discouraging.

Thanks! If we don't conceived this month, we will probably wait until the end of summer. I would love a May baby, but I have the baby bug bad now...so that may change. I'm also very impatient. I would be delighted if I fall pregnant this month!

Good luck to everyone! I hope we all have sticky beans and our sways worked!

[afrevert23]

Yes, I will start testing on Monday, April 4th. I'll be 8dpo, which is probably too early, but I'm anxious! Will either continue to test everyday or every other day until either BFP or AF.

[afrevert23]

Sorry to hear about your temp drop farmgirl. :sad:

[tfahn]

PBN, I do have follow up bloodwork scheduled for Monday morning to check my progesterone levels. Fingers crossed for good numbers.

[Pbn3]

Fx for great results Monday!

Good luck to everyone testing soon! I have Mirena. I'm hoping my cycle comes back quickly too! It did when I came off the pill years ago. We shall see!

Inforthree I had mirena for almost 4 years I had it removed and got pregnant my first cycle after removal, I did have an early mc at around 5 weeks, I should of waited another cycle, but after they miscarriage I had one cycle again and got pregnant with my DS who now 2! My cycle weren't funky they right back to normal just period was light, still is till today.

Best of luck

[jenren]

Hey everyone!!! Ive been following these 2wk wait posts for the last two months. I am ready to ttc but I still have no return of my cycle following the birth of my son 17 months ago.

Finally a few days ago I think I may have potentially o'ed! I got a dark opk but it wasn't quite the same color as the control. I wasn't able to test again for about 26hrs and it was way lighter??? My cervix was very high and soft and I had ewcm. I don't temp because my kids get me up multiple times at night so it wouldn't be accurate.

Hopefully I ovulated! We dtd the day before I took the opk. Hopefully I will either have a bfp or a period in 2 weeks!!!

Good luck to everyone this month :D

Hi and welcome jenren! Sounds like you had a good chance at oing and great attempt timing! Fx for a bfp!

Maiden I'm dying to know what you decided to do this morning!!! Grrrr time differences! I'll probably have to wait for my morning to find out :( (lol)

[Beautifulrainbow]

I did an OPK this morning from fmu, didn't think I'd get a positive that time in the morning but I did, a very dark one but it was concentrated fmu. I tested again just now and got another dark positive. At what point will I stop getting positve opks, will they continue because I had the trigger shot. On previous cycles I only got positive opks for 2 days
The nurse told me I wouldn't get a positive opk, but i would get false positive hgc test if testing too soon.

[maidentomother]

pinkin, nice to see you back here, good luck testing soon!

Beautiful Rainbow, triggers don't cause false positive OPKs. It sounds like you are just having a long/strong surge. I had a very strong and slightly longer surge than usual on injections. So it could be that.

jenren, welcome, I hope you did O! I rarely get true positive OPKs personally.

I ended up falling asleep...I was just way too tired/in too much pain. New donor is pretty busy right now with work and in different places each day so it's not ideal for either of us. It feels like I just started Oing (it's 3pm here), so the timing would have been close anyway. But i am happy to have attempts on O-3 and O-1 from my usual donor, maybe that, plus all my EWCM and Clomid will be enough. I haven't had more than one attempt in my fertile period before, and I was very dry ladt time on Clomid, so I'm somewhat hopeful. I'll try to plan something for next cycle with new donor that avoids any last minute travel! I can't handle that, it's way too stressful.

I've met a lot of people from online and never had problems. I always meet in public initially and usually at least 2 people know where I am and whom I am meeting. I might still meet new donor this weekend, we'll see. I appreciate the concern Pbn3!

[maidentomother]

Maiden it's kinda relieving to hear that you don't get many true positives on opks I was stressed out that the line wasn't as dark or darker than the control. It was definitely the darkest I have ever had and I had other o symptoms at the same time so hopefully that bodes well for me. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!

The picture of my opk is the darkest I have ever had, all one I have done in previous cycles have never been anywhere near as dark. Could have missed some positives due to thinking as it was fainter than control line it was a negative.

[XXforhubby]

Yay Maiden!! I'm dropping off heaps of baby dust for you [emoji597][emoji92][emoji93][emoji94]!!

If it doesn't work out this time, I've got good feelings about this new donor. I had a dream last night about it...we must be on the same wave length cosmically again [emoji4]!!

FX and TX so hard for you!!!

I keep thinking I ovulated on cd 17 not 16, but who knows, I want to test tmrw haha but will wait for Sunday, I was going to test Monday. Just incase, I'm so nervous, cervix is still medium soft maybe little higher. 30565

Hi there im currently on cd 3 so will be testing 27th april , goodluck to all :baby:

[sharon]

Just wondering does anyone know how to change your username ? Im really not liking me just being my name ?!!

[Pbn3]

Very excited for you this cycle Maiden! What's the bet now that you have another donor lined up you'll get a bfp this cycle! Really hoping the extra attempt, fertile cm and clomid all come together and give you that elusive pink line :)

Hi and welcome Sharon! Not sure how to change your username sorry but hopefully someone else does!

Finally on cd11 my temp has dropped to pre o temps!

[Pbn3]

Hi 1moregirl! I think smep is a great idea for you! I wanted to try it my last two cycles but never got to do all the attempts due to dh shift work. I'm on my first clomid cycle and doing eod as per my obs recommendation and feel so lucky as dh will be on annual leave so for once there will be no worrying about when/how we are going to bd!! Fx for you! When do you expect to o?

Hey :) dropping in to say hello.

Here is an intro for those who don't know me... I had been ttc since Feb last year and had a m/c at 9wks in June 2015 and then eventually conceived again for it to end in a m/c at 10wks in March. I was also officially diagnosed with PCOS last year as I have wacky long cycles and various other symptoms. I have two boys who are 7 and 4 so my potential age gap with #3 is steadily increasing.

After the last m/c I was positive we wouldn't ttc anymore but 2 weeks on I'm not sure. I'm thinking of just seeing what happens, no charting, no OPKs, not really doing LE diet unless I get motivated to do it (I'm trying to delay breakfast and cut back on the snacking as a minimum). We will just try to BD every 3 to 4 days and maybe a bit more when I think I'm ovulating as I can normally tell roughly from my O pain.

Anyway, I'm also trying to cut back on forum activity but I thought I would provide an update.

[Pbn3]

Purple hi!!! And thank you for updating!! I have been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. Wishing you the very best in whatever you decide to do. Just happy to hear from you and hope your doing ok. I know you must have a great support irl but if you ever need to talk or vent to someone away from your personal life then pm me! I'm sure a hundred other ladies on this site would put their hands to do the same. Just really, really happy to hear from you!

Hi hunny been thinking about you and such a pleasent surprise to see you come back and update us.xxxx

[Beautifulrainbow]

I currently still getting positive opks for the 3rd day, not sure if it's because of the trigger shot or because when I 1st got a positive it was late Thursday night!

[purple]

Thanks girls :) It is nice that you were thinking of me :)

BR - I posted in your other thread that it could be the trigger. How do you feel? Any symptoms that could indicated you have O'd? Are you doing temps?

[Beautifulrainbow]

My chart.
30584
The egg was on my left, and I had some tugging pain on my left yesterday moring, before having some tenderness on both sides?
I don't temp because when I used to either the temp was all over the place or I forgot because my cycles could go on and on.
The nurse said I opks don't change when I have the shot but they did, also she said I would o between 9-11am yesterday she said it was very reliable because it is what they use in ivf so they can collect the eggs.
Thank you purple for replying to me.
Really missed you chatting to me. And look I'm finally in the tww for the 1st time yay!

[purple]

Good luck!! I really hope it is your month!

[maidentomother]

Princess, I think it's possible you Oed on CD18 but CD16 looks more likely to me. CD17 looks unlikely to me but you never know.

Pbn3, I had the same thought - now I've found a better donor I will surely conceive with the inferior one! BUT I haven't met the new guy yet, maybe he is super annoying in person. if I did conceive and he is awesome, I could always have further children with him. At this point I can't fuss about who exactly fathers my children too much, I'm too old,

sharon, welcome, to change your name you should PM nuthunbutpink, as she maintains the site. I know she has changed names before.

BR, keep BDing until your OPKs go negative, just in case. Egg retrieval for IVF is totally different bc they physically remove the eggs from your ovaries. In your case you have to wait for your egg to release on its own and that DOES NOT happen on a fixed schedule. Unfortunately it is very common for medical professionals to be misinformed about triggers and O variability.

Purple, so lovely to hear from you. I've missed seeing your insightful posts. Thrilled to hear you are trying again now, I hope it happens right away for you. I wonder if Metformin might help with the losses? I'd like to see you on Femara as well. Best of luck to you hun, check in when you feel up to it.

For the 3rd cycle in a row I am confused about my O date due to taking my temp late on O day and/or the day after! Soooo annoying. Unfortunately I don't wake up to alarms often. I took my temp 3 hrs late on both CD17 and CD18/today, and I adjusted them down manually (actual temps 98.0 and 98.24 respectively). I also have been sleeping without a blanket the last 3 nights due to my cat peeing on them. It IS cold. Looking at my chart, do you think I've Oed and when?

[Princess Mom]

8dpo today

In fertility friend what is research settings

[Princess Mom]

Now I'm confused and think what if I am 6dpo only and not 8dpo! Ughhh I was planning on testing tomorrow

[XXforhubby]

Great to see you Purple!! I'm hoping and praying you get your BFP soon!!

My DH has committed to TTCing baby #4 and we will have our first attempt in May!!! So excited!!!

Think I may have od as cm has turned creamy

[maidentomother]

Princess, I am not a fan of Research mode. It's a crappy version of Advanced IMO. I think you're 8dpo.

XX, so excited for you! When exactly do you expect to O? I still dream of being in a DD group with you. I will probably O around May 1st.

BR, yay! Then we are practically O day buddies. I won't be testing until 15dpo so we will both likely find out if we got lucky around the same time unless AF comes sooner. How long is your LP usually? Mine is 10 days on average in natural cycles, but is 14 days on Clomid and on FSH injections.

[Princess Mom]

Yay ladies on ovulating :)
I'm going to try not think of anything today and enjoy my day taking the kids out for dinner today

[XXforhubby]

I should O sometime between May 10-15th. It depends if my cycles resume the 24,26, or 28 day frequency. I bet I will O 13-15th.

It would be nice to be in a DD group with you, although I hope you get your BFP first [emoji4]!

1st time on fsh so unsure on that, clomid didn't effect me, without anything it's 15days.

DD = dear daughter? If so I would love to join you too

[maidentomother]

In this case, I meant Due Date. I abbreviate a lot bc I'm on a tablet.

[Beautifulrainbow]

Ah thanks maiden I understand now! Most of them I do understand!
Maiden if we do concieve this cycle we will have a xmas due date!
Sorry tmi coming up, for probably more than the last year I have had over the top EWCM on and off throughout my cycles, but this cycle I didn't get much even on the day I od, nowhere near what I'm used too.
do you think this will drastically decrease my chances of getting pregnant, even though I have had extra help? Or do you think having too much was preventing me getting pregnant on the few occasions I did o last year?

I also had a cold leading upto o but just about cleared on o day, still slightly stuffy in the nose. do you think having that cold when I did will sway girl? I read that being sick over of sways girl, but what about just before?

[Pbn3]

Maiden I think you oed cd17! It could be a bit iffy temp wise but your cm and cp seem to back it up imo :)

[Princess Mom]

It's Sunday 1am going to bed might be testing when I wake up, not sure what to do I'm so confused on dpo I am, I believe I will be 9dpo.

Thanks pbn

[Beautifulrainbow]

Princess mom I'm waiting to hear any news too!

[maidentomother]

BR I'd love a Dec baby but sincerely hope to give birth a week early so it's not QUITE so near Xmas and so I definitely get a Sagittarius baby. Maybe I'll have twins again or can get induced early. Though probably I'm not pregnant.

Extra EWCM would help not hinder conception. But the cause of excess EWCM, too much estrogen due to PCOS, can negatively affect egg quality. So less CM now could mean good things in your case but it could also inhibit conception. Being sick and little fertile CM both sway pink.

[Princess Mom]

Just got a bfp! I'm actually in shock! Because all my miscarriages I have had I always tried so hard to get pregnant before af and it didn't happen, this time it did I'm in shock and scared and I haven't ever had such a dark line for 9dpo!

And FF was right I did ovulate cd 16
Thanks ladies for all your support
I can't wait to see everyone's bfps!

[Girlieplease]

Congratulations princess mom, hope you have a sticky bean and a happy healthy pregnancy!what a lovely way to start the new thread. In terms of introduction I am mum to three lovely children, my eldest is a girl, number two was a boy and then number three another boy. I never attempted to sway with any of my other three pregnancies I came to this site because I was debating whether to have another or not. I really would like a sister for DD and she would also love a sister. I thought I was pregnant back in January, was convinced but it was not the case, I was devastated when AF arrived I had planned to start swaying in March 2016 but have been rubbish with diet and exercise and my dh has just put doubt into my mind about even trying. My dh is very anti swaying, he is fine with having another baby, although he is more than happy with three and has some concerns about my health and how we would afford it etc.
So I am thinking of trying but not really swaying, I have kept up to date with all your posts and it seems to me that for a few of you, you had no problem getting pregnant before you started swaying. I got pregnant first time around with all three pregnancies so i would be concerned that I could prolong the while process, I think I have to be realistic I am nearly three years older than when I conceived my youngest and I am nearly 36 both factors that may impact negatively on my fertility outside of swaying. I think I might do some things like exercise, avoiding meat, skipping breakfast and just accept that it is likely that I will have another boy. I thin if I went really hard on everything I will delay the whole process and make me more like "I have to have a girl now" and then I think if I did get pregnant with a boy after all that it would be more upsetting this make sense? wishing you all luck and lots of bfps

[Pbn3]

Sooooo, I noticed ever so slight, barely even noticeable pink tinged CM for a bit today. AF should be here in 3-4 days. We only had sex 7 days ago....I was for sure I had Oed a week earlier....it's probably heralding AF but I have no symptoms of any sort....it's probably nothing, right?

Yes, I will still test tomorrow. I think it will be too early to get a BFP, but I'm anxious to test!

How many dpo are you?

[afrevert23]

I'll be 8dpo. I know some ladies get BFP that early, which is why I'm going to test. I won't let a negative test affect me much since it is early. I have a gut feeling I'm pregnant, but I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much.

[maidentomother]

Wow beautiful line, huge congrats Princess! I feel sure this is your take home baby. I would test every other day at this point since you csn see progression better that way and it's much less stressful than more frequent testing. Cheaper too!

tfahn, your chart is looking promising, I'm excited for you to test.

girlie, 36 is really not that old and for many women fertility can still be quite high in their 30s. There is a lot of overly negative misleading info out there about fertility in thr later 30s. So I wouldn't take that too much to heart, but obviously do what you feel comfortable with. The daily cardio for an hour, no breakfast and snacking, and no meat (or even better vegan) is actually a solid sway. And one attempt/E4D ideally...

[ksmom]

Congrats Princessmom!!! FX for a sticky bean! :)

Good luck to all the ladies in the TWW and waiting to O!

I finally got a pos OPK this afternoon after just a two hour hold and some water so FX I'll actually O. I'm on CD21 and I started getting a high reading since CD11 so I'm ready to ovulate already. lol We last DTD on cd18 so I think we'll BD tonight in hopes of O being tomorrow. I haven't been tracking my intake all week and haven't been doing cardio since I'm on vacation and it's too hard to stick to swaying with having food allergies/sensitivities. I'm hoping it doesn't matter though since next month will mark one year of swaying.

[maidentomother]

Yay ksmom, I hope you O promptly.

Afrevert, good luck testing.

XX, how has your LP been lately? I wouldn't necessarily assume anything based on pink tinged CM as it could be due to so many things. For some reason every now and then I get a bit of pink-tan tinged CM around 7dpo. No other spotting, and in non pregnant cycles. Maybe due to a dip in hormones?

[XXforhubby]

This is my first LP. If I Oed when I think I did, I'm 11DPO. If I'm wrong then I could be 6DPO. Either way, I don't have any real symptoms other than noticing that. I mean it was barely noticeable but it peaked my interest enough to check. I'm just glad I'm not a raging hormonal mess like I usually am when I resume periods post partum!

I just got home after a week long vacation at Club Med Ixtapa in Mexico! So much fun! It was an all inclusive resort so I ate enough for 3 people daily! Like 5 plates every meal lol! Just got my +opk yesterday on CD12 and it looks like it already went negative today. Usually I have two days of +opks. No recent attempts though so I guess I'll have to try tonight.

Hi and welcome back essnce!! Glad you had a great time! I just got my pos opk so expect to o tomorrow right on time! Me, you and ksmom will be cycle buddies :)

After some opinions please!!
We dtd last night and my ob said to do eod and not use opks or chart - so of course I'm charting and using opks lol BUT do I add an attempt in tonight or leave it until tomorrow and stay with eod as she recommended??? I will o sometime tomorrow. Just don't want to mess this up!! Updated to add dh just said we should stick to what ob said because what if I don't o tomorrow. Maybe he's right. Shouldn't have used opks *sigh http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160404/a8f968f2e5ddc76266a665fee4a1098c.jpg

Pbn3, I have to wait until it's Monday business hours to get scanned. Nothing is open here except restaurants on Sunday (Saturday isn't much better), it's like Christmas practically. The awfully limited time shops and services are open is by far the thing I hate most about living in Germany. It drives me batty. It's particularly bad bc I live in a rural area but even the big cities are dead on Sundays.

I'm so jealous of your timely positive OPK. I would definitely stick to EOD. More often could deplete sperm too much and could tire you both out if O is by chance delayed.

essnce, welcome back, glad you had fun, did you get hubby to slip up at all on vacay? Hope he slips up tonight!

[Pbn3]

Thanks maiden I'd started leaning towards going ahead with attempt but couldn't stop worrying about over doing it so maybe your right. I think my gut is telling me to stick to eod too.

519b48 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48)

[Pbn3]

So because I cant decide to bd or not bd I resorted to writing yes and no on two same size bits of paper and drew blindly. Both times, almost an hour apart I drew yes. Hope fate doesn't kick me in the butt and I actually o tomorrow. This will sound absolutely crazy but I have another question: do you think fresh swimmers - while less quality recuperation wise (24 hours old) can interfere with sperm that has already capacitated and is waiting? I'm just nervous of an extra attempt as I'd have had the same schedule basically for past two cycles I think but this is my first clomid cycle and I want to maximise my chances!!! I'm nuts for even wondering about this right???? I hate that I've gone from a solid plan with no plan to deviate from it to now second guessing every thought :( I just want to make a decision and be happy to stick to it!!!

[maidentomother]

I don't think anyone knows but I doubt it matters significantly. If you're stressed about not having enough attempts by all means attempt. Better than worrying so much! It's not a huge difference really. Do what YOU feel comfortable with since you're not swaying. You do have more Clomid though right? This isn't your ONLY Clomid cycle? Since the data indicates you, not DH, are likely the reason for your recent troubles, the Clomid is what will make a real difference this cycle, not your BD pattern, IMO.

I got my cross hairs...

Woohoo crosshairs maiden and a nice rise at that!! Cant wait to see what your chart looks like over the next week or so!

And thank you for your input! I'm really annoyed at myself for second guessing my plan this cycle! I make up my mind to add an attempt then 5 minutes later I change it again. I've actually got 6 cycles worth of clomid in my scripts lol even though I told ob I'd try for another 3 which is pretty much where I'll finally draw the line as I will be yet another year older.... I keep jumping from less is more to more is more (swimmer wise) and initially I was dead set on not using opks for this very reason!!! I really do think I'll o tomorrow and a morning bd is out of the question. So back to deciding hahaha!!!

[essnce629]

essnce, welcome back, glad you had fun, did you get hubby to slip up at all on vacay? Hope he slips up tonight!

No slip ups during vacation unfortunately, but we did manage to BD twice in an hour but that was 6 days ago so doesn't matter. And now DH is asleep next to me without BD tonight! He literally falls asleep within a minute of his head hitting the pillow and if I try to wake him up he gets super grouchy! I did manage to wake him up and BD three days ago but I doubt I can do it again tonight. Oh well.

[essnce629]

Pbn3 I'd stick to EOD as well. Even of you O tomorrow, BD two days before O is still the best chance at conception. Your attemps would be O-2 and O day correct?

[Pbn3]

Thanks essnce! And that would be correct if I o tomorrow.

Ok so after a big chat with dh we are not going to dtd tonight and we will stick to eod. The compromise was if I wake up early enough tomorrow I'll sneak out of room and we'll bd on morning. (I still co sleep with ds1 *sigh and ds2 still in cot next to my bed). I have asked dh to oil both the door hinges tonight lol!! Thanks for putting up with my crazy!!!

[Princess Mom]

Congrats on the cross hairs!

Pbn3 your plan sounds fine I wish u the best!

[Princess Mom]

Test is darker today at 10dpo, I need to stop worrying. I do have some sort of streching feeling. Or unless it is in my head.

30618

[afrevert23]

I did a pregnancy test this morning and it was a BFN. Either it is too early or I'm not pregnant. Will test again on Friday, 12dpo.

Princessmom - that is a darker line! I'm sure it is such a good feeling! Congrats again.

Pbn3 - good luck with your attempt! I think there is a good chance of getting pregnant at 0-2, but an extra attempt can't hurt anything! :)

[maidentomother]

Essnce, I swear I've conceived from BD 10 days before O and also from 6 days before so I wouldn't completely discount it. Really praying that some hearty sperm are up there waiting on your egg. I hear you on grouchy men, it's not worth waking a bear!

Princess, that's amazing progression.

Pbn3, sounds like a good compromise. Honestly my temps are unlikely to tell me much. But I might test early this cycle since I got 2 attempts in and had a lot of fertile CM this time on Clomid. Maybe on 10dpo if no spotting/cramping/low temps. Waiting until the 16th/15dpo otherwise seems soooo far away.

Haha, maybe if I was still 21 and had a week of ewcm like I was when I got pregnant with DS1!!! I highly doubt it though at nearly 35 now with no fertile cm! Temp is still low today though so hopefully I'll get another chance tonight.

[tfahn]

Did my 7 DPO Progesterone Blood draw this morning. Just looked up the results, the level was 12.51. This is the highest I have seen it so I think the Clomid helped and I am happy with that number. I'm sure the RE will not be happy with it, they say it should be over 10 for a natural cycle and over 15 for a medicated cycle, they probably won't see the results until tomorrow. I think I would decline any progesterone supplements if they offered unless I do get pregnant and the levels don't rise when checking hcg/pregesterone.

[tfahn]

Just had a weird tingling/almost painful twinges on the right side, lasted maybe a minute. Don't think its implantation as I only felt left side at O. But it could be from last night too, I bent over and down last night to get something off the floor in front of the couch and felt something weird on the right side, like a pulled muscle almost. Need to stop symptom spotting. :)

[Pinklady35]

Hi all was hoping to get some advice.... I'm really stressing myself with my cycle at the minute, still no sign of af and it was due Thursday last week so I'm now four days late!!!! I did a pregnancy test fr on either Friday or Saturday now I can't remember and it came back negative again but I still haven't come on. My temp hasn't dipped it seems on the rise and has someone who has a low amh level I've now convinced myself that it's because I'm not fertile and all my baby hormones are shrivelling up and dying in there. I know that sounds dramatic but I've not stopped crying since Saturday I'm not sleeping and I'm so worried. My husband is not great he doesn't know what to say to me or how to deal with my worry so he just ignores it and that makes me feel even worse. I'm all over the place, there's not even a hint of cramps or anything. I thought I was going to come on sat as I was really bloated and had backache and like a dull ache but nothing. If I posted my chart would that help???

[XXforhubby]

Well, I'm someone who conceived with an AMH level of less than 0.03, which is essentially 0. Is there a possibility that you Oed later than you think? If so, then AF would be later than you would normally expect.

If not, then you may have a slow cooker. I couldn't get a positive pregnancy test until 21DPO with my DS2. I felt like I was pregnant, but I couldn't get a positive on a HPT to save my life, haha!

I know it's frustrating right now, but you will get your BFP. It may take more time if you have impaired fertility, but it will happen.

Hang in there!!

I think I ovulated on the 11th or 12th day of my cycle, I started on the 3rd March . I wish it was a slow cooker in there but all these disappearing and reappearing af signs are confusing me plus the negative test. My mum thinks it all to do with the stigma from my failed Ivf in Feb but even with that as it was a fresh transfer af arrived even taking cyclogest that's how I knew it hadn't worked even without the blood test. You give me hope that all is not lost there's so much negative out there when you read about low amh mine was about 6.5 but that was last year. Been too frightened to have it done since think it will send me over the edge and I'm sure my husband thinks I've already lost the plot!!

[tfahn]

Do you have a chart Pink Lady? Can you post it if you do. You probably ovulated later then you think, that would be my guess. Hopefully you either get a BFP or AF soon so you know what is happening.

Hopefully you can see my chart thanks for helping xxx

[Pinklady35]

I only started it midway as I'm new to all this and didn't know about the chart until maiden I think mentioned it. Great advice

[tfahn]

PinkLady, From What I can see of your chart I would have to say maybe you haven't ovulated yet? Have you ever had longer cycles? I could be wrong, I can't zoom in on your chart so I am only going by your temps, can't read any of the other fertility signs. Do you temp orally or vaginally and do you get at least a 3 hour chunk of sleep at a time?

[Pinklady35]

Never as long as this really. I was using an opk which said I was peak fertility on Sunday which was day 11, so assumed I ovulated Monday as on Tuesday opk dropped to low fertility. I've been using the clear blue digital tests. I think I thought I had due to the test and also the rising temp then plateau for two days . My temps later after this are probably a bit unreliable as I work in retail management I am in work at really early and different times of the morning which makes it hard to take my temp at same time plus my boys have been ill and waking up in the night and having nightmares getting up early so I'm all over the place. I can usually tell with my mood I get grumpy before I'm due and irritable and I have the signs but nothing now for a few days... I think there's something up as I feel like I need to pee even though I know I don't need to if that makes any sense

[Pinklady35]

Oh and I take my temp orally mouth under tongue

[maidentomother]

Tfahn, considering I really think you Oed a day later than marked on your chart I'd be pleased with that P level.

pinklady, I think you either haven't Oed yet or maybe only just Oed 3 days ago. Your symptoms could be dye to impending O. Cycles after IVF can be wacky with delayed O quite common.

essnce, yeah I was also in my early 20s with tons of fertile CM for days but you never know.

Pinklady on first glance I agree with Maiden that its possible you only oed 3 days ago. Hopefully your temps over next few days will reveal more :)

Beautiful line princessmom!!

Afrevert fx for the next few days testing!

Essnce hope you got/get an extra attempt in!

Afm - I cant believe it but I woke up at 4.30am and was able to sneak out of room so had an attempt at 5am this morning. Cp is high and soft so expect to o later today. Very very happy I got an attempt in this morning in case I dont o until late tonight/early hours of tomorrow morning :)

Pinklady I agree with Maiden as well. Either you didn't O or just O'd 3 days ago. What happens when you delete your +opk from your chart? Do you get crosshairs 3 days ago? You could have geared up to O way back when you got your +opk, but then your body didn't go through with it. You definitely do not have a temp spike after that +opk that would confirm O.

[Beautifulrainbow]

Hi all, so I was supposed to be testing out the trigger, I tested today with opk 1st and while it still says positive, it looks like it's starting to fade now, so I did a hgc test, expecting it to be positive because the trigger still being in my system but I had quite a surprise when it was negative!

[Princess Mom]

Thanks 1moregirl

Pbn- yay for another attempt :)

I been having stretching sensation upper sides and lower, I just been praying everything will go good! Will be calling doc tmrw, but she doesn't like to do blood work

[farmgirl33]

Princess Mom - so happy you got a bfp, big Congratulations!!!

Pinklady - I agree with what everyone else is saying about o being delayed. I had a cycle last year where o was delayed as I was sick, my body geared up to o, but because I was sick I didn't o until a week later.

Beautifulrainbow - hope that hpt turns into a bfp soon now you now the trigger is out of your system.

Pbn - yay for getting another attempt in.

Hi to everyone else, keeping my fx for you all. I'm on cd4 today & haven't done so well with HE diet over the weekend, not eating much red meat & not snacking much. Yesterday I skipped lunch as I was racing around doing errands & had appointments. Feeling a bit down about not being pregnant yet & feeling fat & frumpy, scared to put on anymore weight. I've put on 5kgs since about October last year. Trying to fit time in to exercise again which will help with the weight gain. Anyway the positive side is I have more time to get work done & jobs done around the house as in the first trimester I just want to sleep all the time.

[pinkin2011]

Hi everyone!!

7dpo today. I had quite uncomfortable cramping left side all this morning i hope its a sign of something! Will test at 10dpo

[Beautifulrainbow]

30629

Top test is yesterday's opk, middle is today's opk as you can see its a bit lighter but still positive.
3rd and bottom test is hcg with a faint false positive, as I'm 4dpo today (wishing it was real)


I know I didn't temp coming upto o but I been temping since o to see if temps continue to rise and my temps took a dip this morning.
but my temps could have been wrong because I have woke up extreamly hot every morning because my husband cuddling me, this morning he was already up for work when I woke up and tested.

[maidentomother]

BR, the trigger can come and go. Snuggling can definitely throw off your trmps.

Pbn3, good luck catching the egg (or two!).

I got a nice temp rise today despite how cold it is in my room:

Just one will be ample thanks maiden, although I feel like I oed 10 hahahaha!! Going by cm and o pain I ovulated mid this afternoon which means hopefully enough time had passed from my 5am attempt! I'm guessing that's when it happened anyway :)

Chart is looking good maiden even though its early days, I hope your temps stay high over the next week!

Pinkin cant wait for friday and test time!!

Oh I forgot to add, I did release one egg from each side like I suspected, same thing happened first cycle on Clomid. Otherwise everything looked good at scan but too early to tell much beyond that I Oed and have a good triple lining. I might test next Monday at 10dpo.

Pinkin, excited for you to test, the pains sound promising!

[tfahn]

That's great that you released 2 eggs and have a great lining Maiden, I think Monday sounds like a good day to test. My RE has never mentioned coming in to get scanned, I would love to know that my lining is ok.

Yay maiden I'm so happy for you! Hope you get your bfp!

[maidentomother]

tfahn, I go to my OBGYN for scans usually. I pay extra out of pocket for them bc I like to know when I release 2 eggs. It's a fast, easy way for her to make some extra money. If you're already at your dr for bloodwork, it can't hurt to ask for a scan but they may want money for it.

[tfahn]

Maybe if I don't get a BFP next month I'll ask the RE about getting the scans just to see what is going on during my cycle. My insurance pays for everything but IUI and IVF so they should cover the scans. Going to start testing tomorrow morning, which is either 8 or 9 DPO but I can't hold back any longer. :)

[Princess Mom]

Tfahn hope u get ur bfp

[jenren]

Tfahn I am testing tomorrow also. I should be 8 or 9 dpo also (if I ovulated...) I really don't think I am pregnant :( I am only testing tomorrow because it is my birthday so I am hoping that sends good vibes my way. Good luck tfahn!!!

RE called about my progesterone bloodwork yesterday. They want me to take the supplements even though my number is the best it has been, they say they like to see it from 16-20. I let them call the script in, I really don't feel like it's an issue and don't think I will take them. If I get a BFP then I would see if it's going up like it should and if it doesn't then I would take them. So conflicted.

[signingmommyfor3]

Congratulations Princess Mom, that is a beautiful line for 11dpo! Don't be scared, I normally don't call the obgyn till I am past when AF is supposed to arrive.

I am hoping there are many more BFP this month because I really have a good feeling about this month.

ATM Today is cd10 and my body is gearing up for O already, it was the same for the cycle I got my bfp in dec. I started to get EWCM and my cervix was high and soft yesterday evening so I started doing opks. I normally get my +opk in the evening but I do one in the morning and one in the evening. Dh and I are doing Eod, maybe add extra on +opk. I have been really good about taking my vitamins and am doing veg/fruit shakes with maca root and bee pollen every morning. Trying to lay low and be relaxed and let it happen.

[Pbn3]

Princessmom beautiful progression! I would also wait until when af 'would' be due to see gp :)

Tfahn and jenren cant wait for your tests!! Tfahn with the prog supps do what you feel is right. Hoping you get a nice bfp and it all comes together as should be!

Yay signingmommy so close to o!!! Your bd plan sounds great!

As for me its a case of here we go again! No temp rise to indicate o happened but I know I have! Cp was high and firm by yesterday afternoon and my cm had started changing. This morning cm is even more post o so I really don't know whats going on with my temps but I'm not going to let it get to me this cycle! It really bugged me last cycle and turns out I oed when I thought regardless of temps. (Unless my lp suddenly changed).

[maidentomother]

Pbn3, if I could see all your charts I might be able to help...for some reason I can't see beyond your last one. My CM and CP often turn infertile well before O so I trust temps the most by far.

Good luck testing tfahn and jenren. Tfahn, you know my thoughts on P supps.

Hope you O soon like you suspect, signing.

[Pbn3]

Maiden I think its because I'm not a VIP member of ff. I've been reading about delayed temp rise and that it can take up to 2 days for shift (not common but does happen and has been confirmed by u/s). Maybe I am oing after my other fertile signs turn infertile but my cm, cp and 12 day lp have always been consistent. The only thing that seems to have changed is my temps? Started getting a fallback rise quite a few cycles ago then last cycle it didn't shift until 2 days after I thought I oed. In any case I'll see what temps look like tomorrow. Maybe I only oed early hours of this morning and temp hasn't had time to rise yet?

I am 8dpo and really trying not to test!!! Its so hard!! Aahh. I know 8dpo is super early but i do usually start at 7dpo so i have done well to get this far.... i may need to test tonight!

[Honeybug]

Wow! Great lines PrincessMom! Congrats and I pray this is your sticky bean!!

Oh Maiden, beautiful temps and TWO eggs!! FX extra tight this is your month!!

Best of luck to everyone testing the next couple of days!!

I am going to try to hold off on testing until Monday (cd 31) but for some reason I am really anxious to test ASAP even though I am not having any symptoms, not even progesterone ones.....

[Princess Mom]

Having blood work done tomorrow. I just keep praying this baby is healthy and I will get to bring baby home this December! I keep having these stretching feeling on the sides above and below hip, feels better today. I think I had this with my son not sure. But no spotting thank God! I'm so worried, I just can't handle another loss

[essnce629]

Good luck everyone!

Looks like I'm 1dpo today. Unfortunately, I never got any attempts in. Last one was 4 days before O. Oh well, December is the one month I didn't want to be due anyways! Plus I gained 6lbs on vacation in the week leading up to O lol!!! 😨😲

[essnce629]

How did you persuade your DH to try again for another?

Haha, oh no I definitely didn't!!! I'm talking about pull out attempts and hoping that a single sperm makes it through! So I didn't even get a pull out attempt in is what I mean. I don't see DH ever changing his mind. He's been doing pull out for about 17 months now. So I just have to hope that an oops happens one day.

[Pbn3]

I'm sorry your dh has had a turn around 1moregirl. Maybe just don't bring it up for awhile and he'll change his mind about always using protection. Hopefully sooner than later. How completely and utterly frustrating for you!!!

Good luck for Monday honeybug!

[tfahn]

I almost had myself talked into taking the progesterone supplements last night but then after doing some more research I decided against them again. It seems like when you take progesterone supplements it increases the chances of hypospadias in males ( the urethra hole is not formed in the correct location on the penis), can produce enlarged female sex organs, and also ups the possibly of cleft palettes. I just don't feel comfortable taking them now, and DH agrees that you shouldn't F with nature too much :) I wish I had progesterone levels checked with DD1 so that I know if this is my normal or not.

[maidentomother]

Pbn3, oh that makes sense. I thought maybe it was some setting. Slow/delayed rises definitely happen but less often than people think IMO.

Honeybug, how many dpo are you? I might test on Monday too.

tfahn, your chart really is looking good!

[XXforhubby]

AF is a no show [emoji50]. I could have ovulated later, which means our only time BDing could be an actual attempt.

I'm hoping AF comes....otherwise this is boy 4. I only started strict on the diet the end of February and started the exercise for two weeks. I had been active cardio wise for awhile before then, but only walking DS1 to and from school so for 50min a day broken up.

It's going to be a long time until Sunday, when I'll be 12DPO IF I Oed after our only attempt on CD18. I've never Oed this late before....

Sorry ladies about the Hubby issues, my husband was the same he slightly changed his mind. Men don't understand things the way us women do. I went for blood work today, the stretching feeling is getting better today. I did take another test and it is a bit more darker than yesterday, so that's good. Just hate having to worry. Last test is from today 9,10,11, and then 12 dpo. I'm done testing lol 30659

[Princess Mom]

Xxforhubby best of luck to you

[ksmom]

Those tests are nice and dark Princessmom! Mine never got that dark with my chemicals. I think you have a super sticky bean in there! :)

[XXforhubby]

I'm sure you have a nice, sticky bean growing in there Princess Mom! I can't wait for your Betas to come back!

So I *think* I O'ed yesterday but I'm not 100% sure because my temps are all messed up from travel. I had my typical O pains just more subtle (which I've noticed O has been less painful the past few cycles...weird). The OPK was blazing positive CD21 and 22 but neg. by CD23 so I think that was O day. I guess we'll see in the next few days. I think I was supposed to O way earlier in my cycle but it got delayed from me being stressed out. I didn't even tell DH I was O'ing because I didn't want to stress him out or have him ask me every day if I can take a HPT yet. lol So we just DTD whenever we had a chance which puts us in with an O-5 and O-2 attempt. I have my RE consult friday so we'll see what the test results are.

[jenren]

I had a bfn today but I was not surprised. If I ovulated I would only be 8 or 9 dpo. I actually don't think I am pregnant this cycle.
I was so sure I had ovulated and now I don't think I did. I am so nauseous off and on all day and ( tmi) i have such sore nipples... I just feel like my body is so messed up and my hormones are all over the place. This is by far the longest I have gone without getting a period after having a baby. It is so frustrating :(

8 or 9 DPO and just had EWCM, hopefully a good sign. I guess it could be from the Clomid this month? Ready to test again in the morning.

[Honeybug]

Maiden: I am not 100% sure I've even o'd yet.....on clomid I had the craziest side-effects and ALL of the progesterone-like symptoms. This month has been sooo different; I didn't get a +opk (not unusual for the last couple of months) and no changes in cm. Other progesterone-like symptoms come and go and could easily be attributed to other things. DH and I are going to continue to do e3d until I get a bfp or af shows. I just picked monday to test as I have a drs appoint that day and I would really like to get bloodwork and an ultrasound requisite if I do get a bfp that day :)

ksmom: best of luck! fx for you!

jenren - you're not out until af shows but I am sorry you got a bfn -- those suck big time. FX its just too early!

Tfahn - fx for you!! your chart looks great!

[afrevert23]

Hi ladies! Sorry I have been MIA. My youngest has been running a fever the past 48 hours. He had two (mild) febrile seizures yesterday, so we spent most of yesterday in the ER. Happy he is resting right now.

I ended up taking a pregnancy test today and got the faintest line. Honestly, I'm not sure if it is an evap line or faint positive. I ended up taking two more test throughout the day and received the same result. Do you think it is possible to get 3 evap lines in a row or do you think it is early pregnancy? I guess I should know more tomorrow morning! FX!

Good luck to everyone testing over the next few days!

[Beautifulrainbow]

Hi all hope your all great, sorry I have been MIA too. Only popped on quickly before going to bed and falling a sleep early last night. I was so exhausted!
Have not got any symptoms yet thought i have felt some twinges yesterday but as soon as I notice them there gone again, I little constipated (sorry tmi) but that's it. Cervix is high soft and closed with creamy cm, so that's looking good, opk and hcg both negative this am!
anyway here is my chart.
30667


From what I've read and understand, there is a second surge of estrogen around 4 or 5 DPO. A second estrogen surge temp dip is suppose to confirm that ovulation did in fact take place.
do you think that is what I had on 4dpo because the next morning I had a small amount of EWCM before returning to creamy.

[pinkin2011]

I am 9 dpo today and have had 2 bfn on a frer. Pretty upset. Been trying to get pregnant for so long now i feel like its never going to happen. I am not even swaying anymore at all! Shattered....

[essnce629]

Essnce - have you thought of, when he pulls out, let him 'release' in your hand, then race off to the bathroom and out in a diva cup and then inserting into yourself? I know this is not conventional and perhaps somewhat unethical, but it is one option that has just popped into my mind the last few days. I think it might be something my DH would allow, albeit the diva cup part of course. Haha! I just know that if I was to become pregnant again he would be happy and excited and would love the child.

There's no way he'd ever do that. Even me trying to be on top, which would make it more difficult for him to pull out, is usually a no go. We usually end up finishing doggie style since it's easiest for me to orgasm that way.

I often joke with my hubby, that he has only agreed to go for a forth child because it means he gets more sex. This comes form after giving birth to my 3rd child and during a rough patch in our relationship we were dtd once every 3 months.
Maybe you should cut your hubby off for a while then maybe one you bd next he may want it so bad he forgets to pull out ha ha

[jennypenny]

Made our next attempt last night (doing every 4days) I decided to do a opk just before the attempt and it was glaringly positive!! Second line much much darker (I never get that!!!)

Went to sleep after our attempt feeling v positive! This morning I decided to do another opk, and it was was also mega positive!

I know I'm am doing e4days, but would it have been better to have waited and made our attempt today?

Grrrr this is why I chose e4d option, opks confuse me!! Xxx

Another BFN this morning, disappointed if I am 10 DPO but if I'm only 9 then I'm still optimistic :) Guess we will see what tomorrow brings. Temps are still up but the last 2 nights I have been turning more then usual so don't know if that is effecting my temps or not. I switched my ovulation mode back to the normal setting and it is putting me at 9dpo so there's that.


30669

[maidentomother]

XX, maybe you need an oops to get a girl? I think you have a good chance if you are pregnant.

Ksmom, I hope you caught the egg.

jenren, that does sound really frustrating. When has AF returned for you in the past?

Honeybug, you should consider temping. I'd be going crazy in your situation not knowing where in my cycle I was.

6dpo, temps have been holding steady and 98.8 the past 3 days. Lots of crazy dreams the last 2 nights including one in which I found a baby boy in an airport! Never had a baby dream before.

[Pinklady35]

Thanks for the advise everyone am going out of my mind at the minute as i started on the 3rd March and am now 34/35 days in his cycle and still not the slightest sign of a period arriving. Had a massive row with husband last night because I'm upset and all he does is yell at me. He has no clue how I feel at all. Did another test yesterday and no surprises it came back negative but I was so disappointed. Made an appointment at the doctors today and I'm scared of what they are going to find. What if this is it???? Scared that the two Ivf attempts and huge amount of stims have dried up all my eggs as low amh means I haven't got many anyway. Is this possible??? I'd like to believe it all stems from Ivf attempt in Feb but as it was a fresh transfer even with being all the cyclogest I came on a day later than I was meant to. I have never ever been this late only when I've been pregnant. I don't think I could cope if I can never have another baby again, I'm a mess. I've just cried since last week and had a bottle of wine to myself last night not good. I'm so hot in the morning I know my temps are really high and again this morning.... Just what's going on in there

[maidentomother]

Afrevert, I hope your youngest is better soon. Poor thing! What tests have you been getting the squinters on?

jenny, your timing is perfect, stick with E4D.

Pinklady, maybe you have a cyst? Though honestly your cycle isn't that long yet.

For all of you testing, keep in mind most don't get BFPs before 10-11dpo. And some won't get BFPs until 15dpo or later, though this is less common.

[tfahn]

I know with dd1 I tested on 9 DPO and it was negative, 10 DPO was a squinter, and 11 DPO is the one I showed my husband because it was more seeable. So hopefully I'm only 9 DPO this morning.

[Beautifulrainbow]

I have just been to my nhs fertility appointment and if I don't get pregnant this time with the fsh injections they are not prepared to help with anymore or with ivf in my case because I dont quilfy for yelp due to already having children. The only thing they are prepared to do is try another version of clomid in 3months time and they would want to try that then for 3 months, if after thee 3 months I still have not gotten a BFP then they will see if my tubes are blocked and only then! Also they won't be monitored with ultrasound scans either because the nhs won't pay for that! Nhs won't pay for my metformin 850mg tablets either say they are too expensive will only pay for 500mg if I wanted. Wtf I have bought the 850mg myself from the private clinic and they are only £8-9! Nhs doc also said I don't need to take them once i know I'm pregnant, against everything I have been told and read!
Why is it all about money it's nhs we pay our national insurance! How dare they say they won't help because I already have children nobody has a right to tell you how many children you can have! Arh frustrating!
hoping I do get my BFP with a sticky bean next week!

That is crap and I completely agree with you. My doctor said nhs wouldn't be interested either due to me already having children doesn't make me feel any less gutted about not being able to have anymore than someone who has non, although I appreciate that must be terrible. I had to pay for two rounds of Ivf privately both failed wouldn't stick �� So resorting to trying myself but so far no luck. Just can't afford anymore Ivf now... Going to doctors tonight to discuss options but I'm not overly hopeful. Good luck anyway and I hope it works out for u xxx

I have a friend with the same attitude as the nhs, she doesn't have any children and is on the waiting list to see someone on nhs, she keeps saying to me you should be great full you got 3 already and can't understand why I feel gutted I'm struggling to have 1 more!

I thought I read a few years ago that the nhs were prepared to fund 1 round of ivvf for everyone experiencing fertility problems! If they already have children or not, maybe that is a postcode lottery!

Maiden following ds1 I got a period at 9 months and pregnant at 10 months post partum. After ds2 I got a period at 11 months and was pregnant at 13 months postpartum. Currently I am 17 months postpartum with no cycle in sight.

Maiden - I was using Easy @ Home pregnancy tests before the digital. I have now received a BFP 13 days after DTD with all of my pregnancies. I hope this isn't a sign that it is another boy! Will love the baby to the moon and back regardless of gender, but praying for a healthy baby girl! I really hope this one sticks. I did have an early miscarriage in January.

FX for everyone testing. I took a digital test yesterday morning at 10dpo and it was a BFN.

AF is still MIA. I'm wondering if exercise is delaying it. I'm not willing to part with it yet. I haven't gone past the latest AF has come yet so there is hope. I may test on Sunday if it's still not here.

I think exercise - especially cardio, can mess up your cycle. Change it at least. Did you have an attempt this month? Or are you waiting on AF so you can TTC this month? (Sorry I'm sure you have posted this.)

[Beautifulrainbow]

Congratulations afervert23, hope it's a sticky girl bean!
I don't think how early or late you get a BFP means what gender you get
I only got a BFP on my 1st at 26+ weeks, (seriously no lies) 2nd I got it around 2weeks after o, with 3rd I was 6weeks pregnant!

[XXforhubby]

We are not preventing until June when we will have better timed attempts. I wanted to be on the diet more strictly and doing the cardio for longer than 6 weeks first.

I just got my first PP the 11th of March. My normal range is 24-28 days so I still some time. It was supposed to be here yesterday. I'm only worried because we DTD when I thought it was safe and now it's looking like it may not have been.

[essnce629]

XX - - with DS1 my periods came back at 6 weeks postpartum, but then it skipped a month, came the following month, then skipped another month before finally getting regular again. I figured it was because DS1 was so young, still nursing exclusively, and no where near sleeping through the night. So it took about 4 months to get back to a regular 28 day cycle. I bet that's what's up with you too.

[Princess Mom]

Test is bit darker today, hoping to get my beta results today.
Stretching ache has eased up a lot! I'm trying to stay positive and keep praying.

Just wondering is it okay if I would still do a fiber supplement once daily?

Yep. I had to keep fiber once a day to keep constipation at bay during the first trimester.

[afrevert23]

XXforhubby - I know it always takes me a few cycles to get regular once my periods return. I wouldn't give up cardio just yet! :)

Thank you!! If I go by my first day of my last period, my due date is 12/14/16. If I go by when I think I o'ed, it is 12/18/16. Not sure which one I should use. haha!

[afrevert23]

That BFP looks good!

I usually take fiber while pregnant to help stay regular! TMI?

I have been good up till now but I'm starting to get antsy I want to test for my BFP, but I know 6dpo I'm going to get a bfn!

I would wait another couple days to test , 6DPO is a bit early :)

I started testing at 8DPO and the BFN"s are disappointing. I so want to get a sticky BFP this cycle, my due date would be just days away from DD#1 due date. I am so nervous to see tomorrow's test, I will be 10DPO and my LP is anywhere from 10-12 days so I should be seeing something soon I would hope.

Woo hoo Jennypenny hope you do o soon!
It's good that you get signs of o because I don't!

I already tested with an opk this morning and it's the 1st time that has come back negative since I had the trigger. I then did a hcg test and that's gone negative now. Next time I test and it positive it should be a true positive! I'm thinking 9dpo is good to start testing, that will be Sunday! Excited it cannot come fast enough!

BR, if you're interested in buying metformin and/or femara yourself PM me. I can provide online pharmacy info and usage advice also. I won't be able to reply to PMs until Saturday FYI.

jenren, that's interesting. Do you have any theories as to why AF stayed away for so much longer this time? I would be very frustrated! I'm terrified of it taking ages for AF to return after I have kids.

I called the nurse and she said I have to wait for my doctor to be in tomorrow to give me the results, because she isn't aware of the situation, so I asked her can you at least read me the results, she said no, I was like oh my, she said it isn't anything to be worried about. She rather have doctor tell me results because she knows what's going on and etc. she isn't aware of anything. I'm so mad! I have to wait till tmrw!

I have been stalking you ff chart too comparing it to mine you also had a small dip yesterday!

Also it amazes me that you are talking about afs returning late after births because even with pcos and breast feeding mine was between 4-8weeks all times. Funny how it different with everyone!

Ugh Princess, rule sticklers are so annoying! But I'm very confident your results are good.

Yup if all is still promising/not discouraging I will test 10dpo with a SurePredict (cheap strip but almost as sensitive as old style FRERs). If I see something on that I will test with a FRER, old style. If stark white I'll wait until 15dpo/AF is late.

Nice to see your cross hairs though I think you Oed a day later. Jealous of your earlier O!

Maiden the only thing I can think of is that ds3 is still bf. However both my others were bf like crazy when I became pregnant and only weaned after a positive hpt (they really seemed to dislike the taste of my milk during pregnancy.)
Every month I go through at least of week of progesterone related symptoms but have yet to get af. It makes me wonder if my body keeps gearing up but then failing to release the egg. :(

This week I got a dark opk (9 days following my last dark opk) it was almost the same color but not quite as dark as the control. When I tested 24hrs later it was just a very faint line. What is going on with my body [emoji24]

Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

[maidentomother]

Hmmm. I wish I had personal experience with your situation! How old are you? Did your first 2 boys night wean sooner than DS3? Any BFing differences between them and DS3 that you can think of? Are you a significantly different weight than you were when you got AF back previously? Have you made any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle since DS3's birth? Have there been any changes to your health?

It might be worth trying Vitex again or could you get Femara (if in the UK or US you can buy online) to induce O. Or obviously you could wean DS3 since he might wean soon after you're pregnant anyway? If you BF at night I would try going as long as possible overnight (at least 8hrs) without feeding to see if that helps, as often it seems to do the trick. O

[ksmom]

Jenren, I agree with Maiden on night weaning (that's if you and DS3 are ready for it). I only seem to get pregnant when my babies have stopped nursing at night. With DS1, I night weaned him around 12/13 months and three days later I O'ed then got pregnant with DS2 that cycle. I think what it is with nursing at night, is your body probably figures it's taxed enough feeding a baby during the day AND night, so another baby thrown in the mix isn't the best idea. I know there are women who O regardless of how much/when they breastfeed but I also know that some of us need to reduce/stop nursing in order to get pregnant. Also, this might sound crazy but both times while I was nursing to help bring on O, I slept in total darkness for awhile (as in no street lights, moonlight etc just complete pitch black darkness is what you want) then did a couple of nights with a night light on in our bedroom. I think it's called lunaception...it's supposed to sync your cycles with the moon and trick your body into thinking it's a full moon (O time). I know it sounds out there but I think it's worth a try. It did seem to help but maybe it was just a coincidence.

I'm 27. I'm 100lbs which is a slightly less than I weighed after the other two boys. I went vegetarian about 2.5 months ago and dropped to 95lbs so I've added higher calorie foods back into my diet a few times a week in order to get back up to 100.

Ds1 and Ds2 did night wean a little earlier because I worked nights so I would be gone and they preferred sleep to the bottle lol. I finally got to a point were ds3 can go from 8pm to 4am without nursing (thank goodness) and I am really working to wean him completely. I am tired of nursing but he looks at me with big eyes and says "peease mom nus" and I cave. we are down to 3-4 sessions in 24hrs now.

Maiden I will pm you. I would love more info about Femara and taking it safely.
