[kc15880]

Wishing you all the best squigglepink! Im waiting for my positive OPK this week so we can also have our first attempt! So scary but exciting at the same time. I am so over the LE diet! 26 weeks LE diet tomorrow. I would never have thought that I would be on it this long & I kind of wish that I hadnt started swaying so early but thats life!

[squigglepink]

Ah, thanks Kc!! I too wish i didnt start in Feb, but i had high hopes of attempt in May.. Anyways.. I might be doing this for a while still. Hugest good luck to you! Keep me posted xx

[kc15880]

Are you going to test early or wait & see what AF does? Im sending you all my positive thoughts squiggle! Still waiting for a positve OPK here but I think it should be in the next day or two.

[squigglepink]

Hi Kc..

My AF only due next week so i dont think i should test tbh. Thanks for thinking of me it would be a miracle if it worked first cycle. Good luck for your attempt which sounds like its around the corner... Eeeeek!

[kc15880]

I am with you - I dont test until after AF is due. I was sure I was pregnant with DS1 - but I didnt test positive until nearly a week after AF was due even though I knew! & then I had no symptoms at all with DS2 & forgot AF was due LOL. He was a very definte positive 1 day after AF was due. Its so tempting to test early but I dont think it is worth the stress! OPKs are still negative (day 16 today) so probably fri or saturday now which is fine with me because thats closer to the new moon! hehehe... Not that I think that sways but who knows! it doesnt hurt that it is around that time I guess.

[squigglepink]

Its like double disappointment testing early if its negative and then a few days later your AF arrives!! Lol. I think im out this month though tbh. But that's ok my DH is very supportive and its only our first cycle. Will just keep going. Those OPK's are the pits too! Hope you get your +opk asap!

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree: don't test early, ladies!! It only causes heartache and stress.

[squigglepink]

Thought it would be day 13 but it seems we should BD tonight?!! 6 months later, here i am! :nails::omg:

Hi Atomic

So on the packaging of my OPK's it clearly states the line has to be the same as OR darker than for it to = a positive OPK. So, in the case of this image of mine recently, i would def say day 12 is exactly that. Would you say the previous two days are fade ins and also negative? Im only asking this question because i remember you saying to attempt at the FIRST positive and not the darkest. Many thanks x

[kc15880]

I finally got a faint positive OPK today CD20 but I also have other great physical signs so fingers crossed for our first attempt tonight! :nails:

[squigglepink]

Yay! Fingers crossed and good luck in the 2ww that can be a challenge! Keep me posted x

Yes CD 12 is positive, the others aren't. Yes, those are like fade ins. Negative tests but they can indicate your body is brewing up some O hormones for ya. :)

[squigglepink]

Oh thank you that's great. 🖒

[DesiG]

So what happened did you get you BFP yet? I sure hope so.

[squigglepink]

Hi Desi
Bfn unfortunately :( so attempt again next week xx

[kc15880]

has AF arrived yet? I didnt test positive with DS1 until I was over a week late (21days post OPK). I knew I was pregnant but the tests kept coming up negative. Fingers crossed for you! I cant do a test for at least another week. Ive been really crampy the past 4 days, its either implantion or I'm about to get AF. Having said that - I have a good feeling about this month, but then again maybe thats just wishful thinking! Either way, I have had a few cheats this week, because the way I look at it if I am already pregnant the gender has already been determined.

[squigglepink]

Hi KC! My AF has come and gone and back on OPK's this coming week!! Really hope this is it for you! Not sure what im going to do difs this attempt but would like a bfp this time:)

Fingers crossed for you xx

[kc15880]

Are you going to do anything different this month?

[amelia10]

My attempt in one week ... Using rephresh, antihistamines everyday, Sudafed everyday, on the diet no brekki or meat, taking folic tablets, hubby on liquorice root and cranberry, drinking coffee and peppermint tea .... Going to do one attempt!!! Only thing I'm not doing is the exercise ... Hopefully doesn't go against me x

Yeah think im going to wait for longer than 4 minutes this time!! :nails: Didnt give myself a chance really!! Oh well.. It was first cycle so had to try.. im in two minds re Sylk for this attempt :think:

[kc15880]

My hubby released on his own every night for more than 3 weeks before our attempt, so combined with that, 6 months of LE, 10kg weight loss for me & still breastfeeeding, OLE & peppermint tea for him, I figured we had to give his poor swimmers a fighting chance :fx: we used sylk last time we conceived our DS2 (failed shettles with BD 5 days before positive OPK), so I am sure it wouldnt hamper our attempt too much & it was either that or ky (which we used with DS1) . I figured it was the better option & we needed something if you know what I mean :wink: Overall I am quite happy with my sway. I really dont have any regrets other than running out of OPK 3 days before ovulation because it was so delayed & the new ones that I purchased were a really dodgy batch even though they were the same brand. This meant that I checked a few times a day in the last 2 days which I regret but I was so worried that I was going to miss our opportunity this month & ovulation was delayed. Im really hating this 2WW. I just want to know already! I have had quite a few cheats this week because I figure if we have already conceived I cant influence it anymore. Im already planning a celebratory dinner with a steak :celebrate:

[squigglepink]

You did great KC!! My fingers and toes are crossed for you! I know you will let me know as soon as you know! xx Eeek :)

[kc15880]

CD29 today, & I BD & had positive OPK CD20. BFN this morning. My cycles are normally around 28-30days but I have a history of late BFP so I just have to wait :fx: I hate waiting! I have been so hungry the past 2 days. I had a huge snack last night & I have been starving hungry at breakfast for the first 2 days I havent been like that for months, Trying to stay positive but also trying not to read anything into it. Wishing you luck squiggle!

[squigglepink]

Oh KC i do hope your AF stays away and this is it for you! Does your appetite usually increase in early pregnancy, if you can remember with your boys? Anyway.. i guess we have to wait it out.:fx:

[kc15880]

I dont ever remember being hungry with either of the boys. 2nd time I had no symptoms at all until 7/8 weeks - tender nipples only & with DS1 - i had swollen painful breasts straight away before 4 weeks. Who knows this time :)

Atomic, help?!! (or anyone with any clue) pretty please...

I have no idea what is going on this cycle?!Ive never had a positive opk earlier than CD12 (not in the past year anyway). I started testing this week on CD10 considering i usually get a +opk on CD12 or CD13 but mostly CD12 and as you can see CD10 is negative BUT so are the rest of the tests and they seem to get lighter and almost nothing on CD13. Have i missed the boat here? Would it have been possible to have gotten a positive opk before CD10? Im confused and not sure if i should have just BD last night or should tonight or what to do now.. This is very unusual for me. (I had a once off ewcm yesterday been dry before that).. I can test again tmw on CD14 but i cant see these tests all of a sudden going solid dark lines especially with the way they are going here.. Im not charting and have no idea when i ovulate!.. Arrrg..what a waste of a month!

[squigglepink]

Also - Can a urine infection mess with opk's in any way?

[kc15880]

I would have said that CD10 was a positive

[squigglepink]

Looking Back it's the darker one of the lot now. But it's not a positive im almost sure. It looks exactly like picture on the box which illustrates a negative. I'm so annoyed this happened. Feels typical. We BD last night anyway. I've got a bladder infection I think so maybe that's delayed ovulation. Oh well. Not much I can do now.

[squigglepink]

Got a solid positive OPK today, CD14. I honestly didnt think it was going to all of a sudden be a positive. Totally weird. Well, we went ahead and BD last night because i thought its better than missing a month. Pity though, as i really wanted to BD at a positive OPK but deffo not dtd tonight after dtd last night! Hopefully im still in with a shot xx

[foxtrotmama]

I would think you're still in with an attempt the night before your + OPK. :)

[kc15880]

goodluck! AF arrived for me yesterday, so here is to another month! Im so over it & trying to decide what to drop this month or whether to have 2 attempts. Also hoping not to ovulate quite so late this time as well.

[squigglepink]

Ah KC. So sorry. I dropped antihistamine and went to loo after 20 minutes this time. But I also BD day before a positive so not sure if I'm too far out. Time will tell I guess. How long you been ttc?! I'm sorry you have to carry on with the diet, I know how u feel. Chat here any time if you need support with ideas for your nxt attempt... xx

[kc15880]

tossing up whether to have 2 attempts this time. I am mostly changing what hubby does now. He released on his own everynight for 3 weeks before our attempt so maybe he just didnt have enough for us to conceive. Now I am trying to convince him to hold off a bit, either that or we have 2 attempts.

[squigglepink]

Wow! 3 weeks! In February I started out with a plan of my DH do FR but I dropped it along the way. We didn't do FR or abstain just DTD protected whenever before attempt. I guess you could drop the FR altogether for next cycle and see if you get a bfp that way.. I guess it depends on how long you've been ttc for and how desperate you are to be pregnant. I'm 39 so I wanted to keep things really simple for us to try get preg quickly. I'd rather drop everything and still keep one attempt personally before adding attempts. But if this goes on too long I might start thinking differently too. X

[amelia10]

Best of luck with ur attempt squigglepink ... My attempt tonight, not much cm (putting it down to the antihistamines) ... Had to stop the Sudafed because I was getting really bad palpitations and my doc said it's the ingredient in it, can't think of the name pseudophine or something!!Hope and praying it works because I can't go on much longer with the diet ... Tempted to go mad tomorrow after my attempt tonight, nice steak dinner with loads of choc after :-))))))

Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk

[squigglepink]

Is it Pseudoephedrine? You using it for swaying?! Good luck with your attempt tonight. I had pizza, chocolate and wine last night. X

[amelia10]

Yes that's it, was an ingredient in the Sudafed, can buy it over the counter here ... Wen I went to my doc she said she's never prescribed Sudafed to anyone and u should need a prescription to get it!!! I was taking one a day on and off for a while but when I took one last weekend got really bad palpitations, dizzy and nausea so that's the end of that!!

Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk

[kc15880]

Im 36 tomorrow but Im keen to fall pregnant ASAP. I cant afford to lose anymore weight, & I have been trying to hold steady for a few months now. Because DH is 40 we have been advised for him not to abstain, but I think your idea of cutting back on the FR is a good one. We tried for nearly a year to fall pregnant with DS1 & I am sure that frequent BD was the reason why it wasnt working for us. DS2 was 2 maybe 3 attempts 4 days before positive OPK. Im also planning on going away in sept with the kids so if we dont fall pregnant this month sept will either be a write off or I will have to cancel our holiday.

[squigglepink]

Happy Birthday :cheerteam:

Brilliant news Amelia!! How nice that you're feeling good!! Fingers crossed..

[atomic sagebrush]

I think your O is delayed, Squiggle. That would be my guess. Bladder infections shouldn't mess with OPK, but if you were drinking a lot of liquids to flush it out, that may make your tests false negative.

[atomic sagebrush]

I would think you're still in with an attempt the night before your + OPK. :)

:agree: a lot of women would be jumping for joy with that timing LOL.

It's still a good day for conception. :)

If that was for swaying, no longer than 7-10 days is needed. If it was for fun LOL, then be in with 2 attempts.

I do not want any female swayer taking Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) It's been linked to strokes in young women and also causes palpitations for lots of women.

Woke this morning sweating and can't stop eating ... Too early to test but my instinct tells me I am!!!!I hope I am cause the diet has completely gone out the window and I realise now how much I use to snack all day ... Constantly in the press, such a boy lifestyle!!!!! How's everyone else doing?

Oh good luck kc15880 ... Feel like I've been hit by a bus, total pregnancy symptoms from my other 3 ...

True hun. I had pizza night of attempt. Well every Friday actually... I can't say my LE was the best.. but it was the best I could do for me.. Remember i BD day before positive (not deliberately)

[kc15880]

Ive had homemade marghetita pizza every week, & pasta & curry, chips everyday & all within LE totals. I am impressed by what I have fitted into the diet & I dont really feel like I am missing out (other than snacking!)

Tomorrow starts the 32nd week on this LE diet & I cant wait to test at the end of the week (if I can wait that long!). I had a lot of cramping on saturday (5dpo opk). Trying not to read too much into it but I'm a bit excited.

[squigglepink]

Hi Hun. I did just the one attempt day before positive OPK and used Sylk. Surprised it worked tbh. (We dtd 4 days prior to attempt, protected) Was on LE for 7 months. And strangely enough i feel like im still on LE. I dont snack and im not hungry in the mornings.. think ive trained myself the LE way now! Lol..

What day are you on now? I tested 8dpo and it was negative. So i waited till AF didnt show to test again xx

[kc15880]

if opk was on monday & ovulation cramps on tueday Im not sure what dpo I am now today (monday), Do you count ovulation days as 1 or 0? if 0, I guess I am 6dpo but who knows! Its all so confusing. My attempt has been the same as yours really. BD E3d, so we ended up BD 1 day before +opk & then 1 day after ovulation. Sylk at atttempt & I didnt J&D. Really hoping this is my month! I know what you mean about the LE! I am so used to not eating breakfast now, its really just the snacking that i miss.

[squigglepink]

I got a positive on CD14, and then assuming i ovulated on CD15 that would put me at CD16 was 1DPO but of course i could have ovulated anywhere between 12 and 36 hours afte the positive. Either way i tested too early. Best is to wait till AF due, however i know how hard that can be... if you can make it to 10DPO or even better 12DPO then you will probably get a more accurate result. If you got a positive opk on Monday and you think you ovulated on Tuesday, then Wednesday would be 1DPO.

[kc15880]

thats what Im thinking too. ovulated CD18 (tuesday), now CD24 so 6dpo. I dont know which is worse - waiting to ovulate or waiting for AF/to test! Last pregnancy I didnt have any symptoms at all until I was 8weeks even though I got a early BFP. I guess these breastfeeding hormones make me less likely to feel early signs. I had horrendous breast pain with DS1 so I knew I was pregnant even though I kept getting a BFN & didnt get a BFP until I was well over a week late for AF. I was really shocked with the early BFP with DS2 with no symptoms at all. Time will tell...

[amelia10]

Hello kc15880 ... I'm waiting for my one attempt, I think another week to go! I'm on the Le Diet on and off for the last 6 months but some days I have toast for breakfast, eating 3 times a day but sticking within limits! This whole swaying is such a journey ... Once u get ur bfp another wait to find out the gender!!!!

Mine are 6 and 2.5

[kc15880]

we are similar. 2 boys - 5yrs & 2.5yrs

[amelia10]

Well interesting fact for you ladies - when I was pregnant on my 3rd there was 6 couples including my hubby and I, who were all pregnant and we all had 2 boys and 5 of them went onto to have a girl and I was the only one to have another boy, who is my world now and I love him dearly!! But the chances are quite high to go on and have a girl apparently and there are so many other couples I know who have 2 boys and 1 girl (in my area anyway). I'm the only one with 3 boys ... So there u go, I've a feeling and hoping ye both go on to have ur long awaited little girl xx

[kc15880]

I am the opposite - I know far to many ladies who have 4 boys!

[squigglepink]

How you doing KC? x

[kc15880]

waiting, waiting.... had way too much to eat today. Part of me thinks that if I am pregnant than its not going to change anything now, but part of me just keeps wanting to stick to LE incase we need another month of attempts. I find that the days that I work are really easy to do the LE diet, & the days that I am at home or out & about with the kids its really hard. Im also finding it harder to stick to in a way the longer this goes on. That sounds a bit crazy but I am really over the no snacking part. Im quite used to not having breakfast now & I am finding that quite natural but it the afternoons that are the hardest for me. only 8dpo today but also CD26 so I AF should be here in the next 2-4 days. I couldnt help myself & tested this morning & got a BFN, but it was just a cheap internet test not a good quality test. I will leave the good ones for the weekend.

[squigglepink]

I know the wait kills! I tested 8dpo with bfn. I got a bfp 13dpo. Im a 26 day cycle. Fingers crossed for you KC! Keep up the LE you're doing great. Even if you give in here or there that doesnt matter.. I think its when we go totally off track its harder to get back on. I know i only ttc for 2 cycles but i was on my best LE for 7 months so i understand the snacking bit. It is the most strangest thing but now im not hungry in the mornings and i dont snack. I dont know if it is my subconscious or if im just programmed or tainted.. its not deliberate either.. Its almost like when i told myself i could not - i wanted to, and now that i CAN i dont need to! Anyway... im sure ill be back to my eating habits soon! Good luck hun. I know you will keep me posted. Thinking of you xx Hang in there xxx :)

[kc15880]

and Im out. AF arrived this morning. I only had a 9day luteal phase again & I wonder if that is part of the issue. Now we are going to have to cancel our holiday that we planned in 3 weeks as it will be exactly when O should arrive & hubby wasnt coming with us. :hair:

[squigglepink]

ah no, sorry KC, really thought you had it this time! So you cant go away? How you feeling?! xx Here if you need the chat xx

[kc15880]

frustrated. Trying to figure out what we are going to do differently. My luteal phase is only 9 days & AF is very very light & short so I am sure that is the issue. Hoping atomic has some ideas.

[squigglepink]

Hmmmm.. I wouldnt know what to suggest other than stop the Sylk because you were doing e3d and you didnt j&d. Unless other things like FR or abstain.. Do you have an idea when you ovulated? Did you add attempt at a +opk? Im sure you well get some great guidance and you will get your bfp KC hang in there! xx

[honeybee37]

Have you lost too much weight kc? When I was losing weight too quickly my luteal phase ended up being 4 days at one point. I had a month out and put on a couple of pounds and made sure to eat a bit more fat and it went back to 11 days which was good.

[amelia10]

Sorry to hear this KC ... Do u have to cancel your holiday? Might be exactly what you need, it so annoying having to wait to attempt again ... I'm in the same boat, well had one attempt last night and another in 4 days ... I kept the ky jelly and antihistamines, just afraid if I drop loads it won't sway so going to give it another shot and hope for the best. How r u feeling squiggle .. any morning sickness?

Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk

[squigglepink]

Hey Amelia
So you not using opk's at all? No symptoms and no MS yet.. but I got MS at 7 weeks with both boys so don't think I'm out the woods just yet! Ok so good luck with your next attempt.. I know it's hard to give up certain things.. but as Atomic says "your sway, your way" :) I kept Sylk but didn't do antihistamines because I didn't really need them. Ok. So eeeeeek... update us soon xxxx

[kc15880]

we cant afford to skip a month so we wont go away. its not the end of the world. Atomic has suggested increasing kj, protein & fat. adding in eggs 4-6times a week, full fat dairy once a day & red meat once a week. Hopefully that helps without swaying blue too much. I didnt get any EWM last month which was really rare for me so hopefully this will be our month! If it can bring ovulation forward by just a few days we might still go away, & that might give me a better chance of a longer luteal phase too.

[amelia10]

I got ms at around 7 wks with all my boys too but a friend of mine has 5 boys and 1 girl and the only one she didn't have ms wit was her girl 😃 .. no not using opks anymore, wrecking my head to be honest and I want a more relaxed approach this time listening to my body and dtd every 4 days! Good luck kc this month and who knows u might just make that holiday ... 😃 x

[amelia10]

The wait is the worst KC .. I was full sure I was pregnant this time I stopped the diet for 3 weeks ... Now I'm afraid to attempt this month so might give it a miss and try nxt month so I'm 6 weeks on the diet again ... Don't want to mess it up because this is my last baby!! So frustrating I was half thinking of leaving it all together but the strong desire for a daughter always comes back and everyone seems to have girls except me!!!!!

Hey Amelia. How frustrating and sorry it didnt happen this time but hun maybe the 3 weeks break was necessary. The diet for me was the hardest and i gave myself a few full days of eating how i needed to eat because i would have given up totally otherwise.. I know it gets more and more hard to stick to the further on you are on it but i think giving yourself a bit of a break every now and then will balance it out! Are you thinking of doing anything difs next attempt? You dont have to say but here if you want to chat it out xx

[amelia10]

Thanks Squiggle .. it's very unusual for me not to be pregnant now especially after I got pregnant first attempt on all 3 boys ... Think I'm going to drop the ky jelly and acigel for my nxt attempt but stick with everything else ie. Diet, antihistamines, one attempt, coffee and I'm going to try and up my alcohol intake, what did you drop? How r u feeling?

Ive been battling to be honest. Severe bloating (like ridiculous) with mild abdominal cramping, constipation etc.. I suffer from this anyway but since BFP it has more than trippled with all symptoms at once! Anyway, medicine wasn't working so Doc put me on other meds which i started today. So if i can just get that to tone down a bit i can hopefully start enjoying this pregnancy..

I did a light sway hun so i didnt have much to drop. My DH didnt take anything. I only took fibre and FA but a week or so before attempt due to my bloating i stopped them to see if that would stop the bloating (didnt). First 'failed' attempt i did J & D and i took antihistamine, one attempt at +opk and used Sylk. Next attempt i didnt J & D and no antihistamine. We BD day before positive (cos my opk's were getting lighter not darker so we just DTD, and then got a positive opk the next day), used Sylk, and only the one attempt. I did LE for 7 months and i was couch potatoe. I only weighed/recorded food in app food for like a week but that wasnt really my thing so i gave it up and just skipped breakfast, had two meals a day and lots of wine. I had coffee with milk in the am and diet coke in the day.. i had a treat with a meal if i wanted to xx

Oh you poor thing I hope you get some relief from the meds, I find a lot of these things subside after the intial 12/14 weeks. Hopefully that's the case with you xx

That sway sounds great ... I opted for couch potato too :-) ... Don't have time to brush my hair some days let alone do an hr exercise :-)... Going to drop the jellies nxt attempt, 3rd time lucky an all ... And I'd that doesn't work jellies and antihistamines then!! Xx

Your entitled to moan every now and again ... Everyone is, good to get it off your chest :-)
Maybe I should drop the antihistamines too, thought they were good for swaying pink and drying up cm. Maybe I have that wrong, I was taking 1 a day for up to 10 days before dtd, what do u think?

Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk

[squigglepink]

Not sure on duration but I just took one tablet an hr before attempt. Yes. True it dries up CM and that's why I didn't really need it because I don't have much in the first place, but for our second attempt I was really dry already so taking one would have been redundant in my opinion.

[kc15880]

Hi! I totally understand with your struggling lately! These past 3 months I have got slacker with each 2WW - still only eating twice a day but eating more than I have been so going over my daily totals. In a way it has made it easier going back into it hard everytime AF shows though. Ive been on the LE diet for 36weeks now! Thats almost the same length as a pregnancy. Skipping breakfast isnt too difficult anymore but I still miss snacking & meat. Ive been eating red meat once a week for the past month to try & help my short luteal phase so that has been nice & I really look forward to that meal. I would dump the antihistimine, J&D & lube if you dont really need it. I worry a bit now that I have had to add in the red meat & full fat dairy but I also thought I might be pregnant by now. My first took ages to conceive but my second was almost instant! LOL. Fingers crossed that AF stays away this weekend.

5dpo our 4th attempt. I am so relaxed this cycle as I expect it to fail again. We BD every 4 days but it ended up being at +opk so its almost 1 attempt really. It was a monitored cycle too so lots of blood tests to pinpoint ovulation - the bes news is that I already knew before they told me based on signs from previous months. Im really not sure what to change next. I have a short luteal phase which I think is our problem. i have introducedfull fat dairy, loads of eggs & red meat back in to my diet. Added in breakfast (toast) occasionally & dropped some breastfeeds to see if that will help. I think I have just come to the conclusion that I am just really good at making boys & I think that is just the way it is going to go.

No i had chemical and another period then fell pregnant.

As far as swaying goes, i did start out swaying but after the two losses i just went with what i felt comfortable with which was decaf tea and coffee. DH took OLE. Plenty of Diet coke because i really like it anyway.
Hubby was heaviest weight (he's tall) hubby mostly eats veg but was eating meat every now and again and drinking wine and beer
i was drinking wine etc but started to cut back as i just wanted to be pregnant so thought i should cut that out.
i have been veggie (pescatarian rather as occasionally eat fish) - for about 3 and a half years.

Congratulations! Can I ask was this pregnancy different symptom wise? ie early symptoms or different ones? I know the theory is there is no rhyme or reason but the pregnancy I just lost I had symptoms immediately - very sore breasts and nausea galore whereas with my boys I had no symptoms and got a surprise BFP so I do believe the pregnancy I lost was a girl though can't prove it of course.

It was a bit of a different pregnancy but not due to major differences. I had nausea with my boys and i did with her too - accept i was getting sick every day for about 3 weeks and had to go on to meds to feel semi decent where as i never had to do that with the boys. My breast were never sore once. Not when i found out i was pregnant nor as the pregnancy progressed until the day of delivery i never had any soreness at all, where as with my boys sore boobs came very early on in pregnancy. I did crave tuna and bacon but that could be because i have not had meat in almost 4 years..
Im sorry to hear of your loss.. Its not easy - (ive lost 3). But your baby will come to you.. Believe it! x

Thank you for your reply and I'm sorry for your losses too. I am thrilled for you that you got your girl. I love reading success stories. :) she's a lucky girl to have big brothers!

You know, I do feel really good about this next month for some reason! Still waiting for AF, I think being sick delayed ovulation so I'm now 2 days late with a little spotting but with negative PT. I'm going to make sure we do the E4D even if I am sick as a dog again. Lol!

Brilliant! Go for it. You have everything to gain. Don't give up. E4d is what i did - Plus 1 at positive OPK.

DS3 is now 1.5yrs old. Time has flown by quickly. I love him to pieces & he was so very wanted after the miscarriage that I had before conceiving him. He has a few early signs of autism (eldest brother also has autism) that we are watching incredibly closely & we have started speech therapy. Its Frustrating as this is why we tried to do gender selection before we had him to reduce the risk. I couldnt imagine life without him though. We will have to travel to do IVF & it will be hard keeping it a secret from family with all the travel. We might need to go several times to get a viable embryo. We are hoping to start our first cycle in 4 weeks. :fx:

We finally have some hope. Our first IVF round only have us 1 boy. But our second IVF round gave us a girl :running: Now I hope she behaves herself until we go back to collect her for a transfer in december, Wish me luck!
