So happy everything went so well momamia!

Maxim I second what everyone else said :) your girls will love having a baby to play with! Hang in there your o is just around the corner!

Ash your chart is looking fabulous! I am so excited to see what your temps do the next few days. They've done quite the climb be interesting to see if they level out now 😀

My chart looks sh*t lol but I keep telling myself there's still a chance. Honestly though I'm not 'feeling' it, there's no intuition going on at all that I might get a bfp I feel 'nothing'. And the fact I feel ok about that and not upset is so comforting that I'm going to be able to move on just fine :) :)

Skyblue you're next to test I believe and Ash and Lola only a few more days 😀😀 good luck ladies and fx you get aboard the bfp train toot toot 🚂🚉 😂😂 no I'm not drunk (never drink in the 2ww) it's not even 7am 😂😂 just feeling giddy with excitement for the testing coming up!!!

Maxim - we will have a big gap too! We bought land and built and said we wouldn't try until it was finished as I needed to work. My boys have a 21 month gap and are now 5 (almost 6) and 4. My sister and I were 5 years apart and it just seemed normal to us.

Momamia - thanks for the new thread and congrats on IUI!

Lola- yay for signs!

Pbn3 - have you tried putting temps in a few days ahead? I do that to see what happens

Afm - line the same as last night this morning. Going to try soooooo hard to wait until tomorrow morning to test again and resist tonight. I have 4 tests left and don't want to get more. I have internet cheapies too so could always use those

Pbn3-I this g you did o on cd17. Ff is just slow sometimes. I have NO intuition I would get a BFP either so you just never know.
Max-I would just wait it out and see what the next week brings. I would be sure to add in more fat and eggs and full fat dairy to your diet to see if that helps O.
Lola, sky, Ash....I can wait to see those tests.

I want4kids your test from last night was really obvious so maybe tonights will be darker, in saying that it's better to compare tests 48 hours apart to allow time for hcg to double :) but we poas addicts can't help ourselves 😂 I'm sure you'll have some decent progression by tomorrow :)

Hello, popping back in! Swaying blue... BD on Tuesday, got a pos OPK on Thursday evening and BD again. We can't BD in the mornings because of work, and we argued and didn't BD Friday night either. Made up with some BD this morning, and we'll try again tonight. I don't feel like we got three attempts in the window...

Hello everyone. So who has been POAS secretly??? Spill [emoji12][emoji12]
Ash - You are hilarious. 50 wondflo from eBay. Pee away. [emoji13][emoji13] Dying for everyone to start testing already.
Momma - Wonderful news about the iui. Hope you and dh had a fun mini date. Fx so hard for you.
Shannsshaff - I agree with Pbn. Can't wait for the week to get over. Will be praying for you so hard.
Pbn - FF changed my CDs after updating BD and other info. I am not trusting it completely.
Iwant4kids- Hang in there. Fx it gets super dark soon. It was pretty clear on the last one.
Lollabelle - I can't wait for you to start testing already. Eeek. Fx fx.
Srg- I am also swaying blue. I don't know much but these wonderful ladies are always here for my rescue and always there to advise. Good luck.

Maxim - I m the youngest in my family and the age gap between me and both my sisters is 7 and 10. I can tell you that they practically raised me and loved taking care of me. I am the one who shares the most wonderful bond with each of them. I am the first to know anything good or bad happening in their lives. The reason I am saying this is that you have nothing to worry about. Trust me. Hugs.
Afm, I used the other test today. I tried but gave in to my addiction. Guess who is going shopping for some more tests. Yup that's me.
It came out negative as expected. I am only 6dpo. Someone stop me. [emoji854][emoji854][emoji854][emoji854]

OK so who's next to test ladies? Looking forward to seeing some double lines!!

And how do my attempts sound ladies? I'm fairly certain I O'ed at 9am this morning as I go through the usual 2 hours of terrible built up pain and then pop....everything is good and I'm all good. Didn't get to DTD this morning as we woke up late and DD was up by then. But we DTD at 10pm last night - so roughly 10 hours before O, 10am yesterday morning (just under 24 hours before O) and the night before (so about 33 hours before O) then it was three days before O for the attempt before the 3 at the pos opk. Does these attempts sound OK for blue in your opinions?

Lol Ash & skyblue!! I have a ton of wondfos too, but haven't given in yet b/c aren't frer's more sensitive? Think I'd rather start with a frer. If I get a bfn on a wondfo, then I would totally pull out a frer anyway! I may give in tomorrow. I'll see if I can distract myself enough, but we shall see...

Since most of you have more than 1,2 and even 3 boys, can you think of things that seem to have contributed to be pregnant with a boy? Anything in particular that may have worked for you in all the attempts before having your boys. If it's not appropriate then I apologize and you don't have to reply.

Aww you're so sweet skyblue! And I am only ever a pm away if you need some advice or positivity :) I promise to check in on everyone but I'm really hoping there will be bfps all round so I won't have to 😀

As for your question about boys and it is in no way offensive to ask :) these are what I remember. I've always been a big meat eater and would usually have it twice a day sometimes at every meal 😮 about 4 months prior to falling with my first I had lost 10 kilos through Jenny Craig and was at a really healthy weight. My job was very full on and required really high time management and multi tasking skills which fit my personality so well (I've chilled out sooooo much since having kids). Fast forward to ds2 and again I had lost weight and was actually doing fitness classes with some weights training and cardio. Two attempts, the night of pos opk and the following morning plus a couple earlier bds that week. Again big meat eater. So lots of meat, moderate exercise, more than one attempt and basically being in good health at the time of conceiving is how I think I got my boys 💙 oh and nuts!! I used to eat cashews and roast almonds all the time!! I would have a small tupperware container I'd fill to take to work 😂

With my four boys I was a big snacker, never really went for big meals but always smacked on chocolate and crisps throughout the day. I actually did used to skip breakfast but then I would have something snacks a couple of hours later. For lunch I would have cheese sandwiches and usually more crisps/chocolate. Dinner I ate lots of meat and chicken and lots of veg. I would occasionally have pizza or pasta. I also loved full sugar coke and used to drink heaps of that. I never drank alcohol or hot drinks like coffee. I was a healthy bmi (lower end of healthy but not skinny/underweight) and I did lots of regular exercise by walking and occasionally running, but not strictly an hour a day.

Hope that helps! I'm not ttc but saw your post skyblue and thought I'd try to help :-)

My 1st little guy was a v typical HE sway (unintentional). I had given up the pill 3 months prior to ttc (only ever took us a month to conceive) and was on prenatals for this time too. I ate breakfast cereal (sultana bran) every morning, had healthy snacks and 3 meals a day with plenty of fresh fruit and veggies - the more colourful the better. cut out booze/ sweets/ processed foods/ crisps/ general crap/ no coke or diet fizzy drinks for about 3 months as well. I did lose weight but not a significant amount. We bd every other day all through ov (and had a big o every time - very enjoyable) ;) I always had lots of cm.

Good luck getting your ds - boys are awesome :) xx

Well, friends...I gave in and it's a BFN, nothing to even squint at, BUT at least I can say it's still early. I won't have a pity party until at least Wednesday lol. I'm going to distract myself by shopping for Easter baskets & outfits. Love to dress them like dapper dudes!!

Ash-I was thinking maybe it was an implantation dip on your chart too? I haven't noticed one on mine. Excited for you to test!!

Skyblue-so in reading other posts about their boys, here are some things I noticed that may have unintentionally swayed blue.
Always ate a light breakfast, ate oatmeal, loved potatoes, dry cereal, snacked a lot instead of bigger meals, vegetarian since age 13 though, used preseed, was taking prenatals, fertileCM & soy isoflavones (I hoped for twins, but the SI didn't help). Both times I had just stopped taking BC. For DS1, we were ttc not long after our wedding & honeymoon, so I had been working out like crazy & doing weights with a personal trainer. We dtd 2-3 times during the fertile window & got pregnant right away. I was shocked...which is why being on month 3 ttc this time is frustrating, but my baby girl will be worth the wait! Sooo hope you get your baby boy! Boys are awesome & mine are def mama's boys :)

Sky blue- I just saw your post about how us boy mom's got our boys. There is a thread that has TONS of info in it from several boy mom's. I'll give you a synopsis of how I got my boys [emoji4].

DS1- I had no clue about swaying. I always ate between 1500-1900 calories. I had 3 small-average meals a day that were well balanced. I always had meat (red meat or chicken), a veggie (I love broccoli, asparagus, potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, spinach, etc), and a carb (pasta, brown rice, quinoa, etc). I LOVE cheese and always put it in my meals! I had small snacks of either nuts and raisins, banana, apples and cheese, protein bar (Luna because it's yummy and low calorie with high protein), or a protein shake. I always exercised 4-5 times a week for 60 min. First 20-30min were lifting weights with no rest in between exercises to keep my heart rate up, followed by 30-40min of cardio (running on a tread mill or the elliptical). Sometimes I did a 30-40min of power yoga after lifting for cardio. We always BDed frequently in my fertile window. Usually EOD or every day. I didn't use opks then, but I did chart my cycles. DH was extremely fit- lifted weights and did little cardio. He didn't drink much alcohol and had little stress with work.

DS2- I was somewhat familiar with Swaying but thought there was more substance to Shettles 🤣. We BDed prior to getting my opk and only BDed after O was confirmed with charting. He was conceived with late ovulation and was from an O day attempt in retrospect. I hadn't lost the last 10lbs from breastfeeding DS1 despite him weaning 3 months prior. I conceived my DS2 the second month following a miscarriage at 10-11 weeks. I ate much like I did with DS1, but had lower calorie intake due to being depressed following my miscarriage. I had just started exercising again, but I was only doing Yoga and power yoga to help with my depression.

DS3- I joined gender dreaming and purchased a plan from Atomic. I became depressed/obsessed when it began to take longer than 3 months to conceive. It actually took me 8 months and 9 cycles to get my BFP. After every BFN, I wanted to add this vitamin, start acupuncture, bring in Yoga, you get the drift. I was a hot mess! Poor Atomic, I'm sure was shaking her head at me the whole time but I wouldn't listen to reason. I switched to the PCOS version of the diet, which I have since learned causes me to be insulin resistant. Despite staying within the limits, I did have animal protein and cheese. We BDed Every 3 days, since I wasn't getting a positive opk. I truly believe that acupuncture helped me conceive him, because I also had high FSH and 0 AMH levels from increasing a supplement I had been taking for non-swaying purposes. I increased it when I read a study that it helped improve egg quality in older women. If I would've read further, it mentioned it made fertility worse in women who did not have PCOS. Again, I was a hot mess since it was taking me long to conceive. Basically, I was my own undoing.

Sorry for the book! If you have anymore questions, just read my first sway. You will see there was no way I was going to get a girl with all I was doing, haha!

Skyblue, for my boys I always ate breakfast usually oatmeal or eggs of some kind. I ate a ton of potatoes, meat, and tomato based sauces. I drank a ton of tea, and never any diet drinks. I snacked a lot - never very big meals, and ate lots of ice cream. I always used weights when working out rather than cardio. I have always had a lot of cm and lots of attempts at ovulation. Two were whoops babies, 1 was conceived the first month trying and with ds4 I got pregnant on the 3rd cycle trying.

Ash-I'm 8 dpo according to when I think I o'ed. At least I should know something (hopefully) by Saturday when my spring break for work starts. I know it's so hard to stop thinking about it!!!I'm so glad I won't just be starting the 2WW on my break, I would go crazy with a week off. I cleaned last night too-nice distraction, one of the many reasons our dh's love ttc lol!!! Hope you get your BFP, so that you can just sit back & relax on vacation :)

The line is a little darker (I think) but I'm just using my phone torch so need to wait until daylight to take a pic. Booked in to see dr and get bloods to know for sure. I'm not positive as with the boys it got obviously darker.

Lola- it's too early... is it a FRER? If so, take it apart and be a rebel like me. Leave it all day to dry out and see if you spy anything.

Ash please don't be sad about the very minor dip in your chart! This is a good thing!!!! Your temps HAD to level out at some point, now let's watch them maintain over the next few days. Do not be surprised if they follow a zigzag (up and down) pattern now or go up a step before doing that. Also in regards to implantation dips (if you believe in them), they are usually more severe, yours is a very minor dip. Many many women (including me) never see a drastic dip either on bfp or bfn charts so please dont be looking for one :) Eeeeeeek so exciting!!!

Oh boo for bfn lola :( but yes it is very early :) It's so exciting you're at the beginning of testing stage!! It will certainly make the next few days go faster waiting to see your and ash's tests!!!! Fx for a squinter tomorrow!!! Why not use a wondfo tonight?? 😉

Momamia I'm loving those temp rises on your chart 😍😍 I know its too early to mean anything but such a change even this early has meant good things for me in past charts and I'm getting a good vibe from yours!!! I'll be so excited to wake up over the next week to stalk your chart!!!

Skyblue you MUST get more frers today!!!! Tomorrow morning will be the earliest day you *could* see a faint line!! I got squinters at 9dpo last 3 bfps and that is early! But certainly possible to see a line at 8dpo (I did with ds2) cannot wait for your testing over the next few days 😀😀

Yay for darker line I want4kids!!!! Can you post a pic of the tests side by side when you can get a good shot?! Cant wait to see it!! Hope your workday flies by!

This is such an exciting time everyone 😀😀 I wish I could use pure will to give us all to get bfps as we'd just be waiting to confirm with a test 😂. Fx fx fx for us all!!!!

Really hope it's a slow implanter I want4kids. I would be worried too in all honesty :( 48 hour bloods will give a definate answer, can you arrange to get a the first draw sometime today during work? When is af actually due? Fx this all works out. Sometimes hpts can give both false hope but also false negativity. They aren't always indicative of either a healthy pregnancy or chemical.

This is where the early testing can cause issues :( but we all go into it knowingly. One of the reasons I'm really hoping to hold out until at least 10dpo as I know I could never wait until af was late....

Try not to worry too much as it is still so early and your test tomorrow could be alot darker. Easier said than done but try and think positive :)

Iwant4kids-fx your next test is darker! I'll be looking for your update! I really really hope it's a late implanter!!! I'd never had a chemical before...then last cycle ugh.. I had a faint BFP that really didn't get much darker, maybe slightly. AF was late, then decided to show in full force grrr. I was excited about the thought of a November baby, then sooo disappointed. Didn't mean to sound negative in posting this, but I definitely understand your worry & feeling cautiously optimistic. When will you get your blood work results? Fx so hard for good news!!!!

One of those may satisfy your POAS urge & knowing 7dpo is sooo early, it will prob be a BFN & you could tell yourself "ohhh it's still early" lol. Orrr tell yourself you want to wait until DH is home!! Of course we wouldn't stop you from POAS to share with all of us haha.

Skyblue-those tests were from the CP earlier in March & that's the darkest they ever got. The tests with my boys were eventually darker than the control line, so this didn't seem right. You're not out yet, acne can be a part of pregnancy too..right? Keeping fx for you!

I'll be 9dpo tomorrow & will prob end up testing again first thing in the AM. I took my frer apart & started to see that line, but no pink color...must be the line that shows up when exposed to air. I'm getting nervous! It's so hard not to plan the future in my head...I don't want to be out this time...it just seems like if I had a BFP last cycle (that didn't work out), could it really be that easy to get a BFP again this time??

Ive had no more of them strange pains which took my breath away. I think i may have thrush though from the antibiotic.

Sky to answer your question Iwant4kids is getting 48 hour betas done. Basically she'll get a hcg number from todays (Monday) blood test then she goes back in Wednesday for another blood test and for a pregnancy to be considered viable the numbers need to at least doubled in that 48 hour period. So if Mondays result comes back as say 9 then Wednesdays would need to be 18 or higher.

I made that hash brown bake and I wouldn't make it again. I didn't 'mind' it as I love anything potato but I felt gross after eating it [emoji23][emoji23] plus it made a massive amount so I'm freezing half of it.

Thankyou. I know that the hcg numbers need to double but wasn't sure if she was going for the same test. Now I know. [emoji4] Fx that the line gets super dark. I still think there is a good chance since it's early. Right?

Wow you made the hash brown bake. Yay you. I can't stomach lot of cheese or mayo. I made this burger a few weeks back and after just having one, I wanted to die or throw up. [emoji51] The recipe was sure tempting. Waiting for everyone to test already. [emoji52]

Good morning ladies! I'm sorry I was MIA last few days, my sis came to town to surprise me. I've been so up and down with all this TTC stuff and it was such a great surprise!! I'll go back and catch up shortly, but wanted to ask a quick question. Last night, we were trying to BD for our e4d schedule and I started getting excruciating pains on my left side. Felt like it was coming from ovaries, but it was so bad I couldn't concentrate. It lasted close to an hour. Felt like labor... [emoji31] Could O pains ever feel like that? It's never happened to me before. I'm going to go into OB today to get an u/s and will feel so stupid if it was O. I never even got a positive on my OPK. I got close to positive (3rd from last) but never quite a true positive. What gives???

Maxim, I'm wondering if you had a short surge and that really close to pos one was just before or just after your surge? Your pain sounds like a rupturing cyst to me. I've experienced that before and it was horrible!! I'm glad you're getting a u/s. That should shed some light on what's going on with your ovaries. They'll be able to tell if you've ovulated or not, or if you had a cyst rupture.

Hello hello-it's morning here & just getting the chance to take a break at work & catch up on everything. I teach, so counting down the days until spring break & then I'll get to read updates whenever I want haha.

Sooo, it was another BFN on a frer at 9dpo today, I get more & more discouraged with each test, but I have to remind myself that I've never had a BFP this early. With my boys, I had a BFN at 10dpo & BFP at 11-crazy how it can change overnight! Def 1 line today, nothing to even squint at :( It makes me feel better pbn-hearing that many are more fertile after a CP. I still have hope!

Ash-you can say "at least it's still early" lol. Fx that you get your BFP!!!
Sky-Fx for you too! Can't wait to see tests!
Iwant4kids-please keep us posted on your results. C'mon good news!!
Pbn-how are you feeling! Can't wait until you test-Sat right? Need some good news going into the weekend!!

Maxim - I am sorry won't be able to suggest anything too. Let's wait for others and Pbn.
Lollabelle- I still think it's early for us to test. I remember Pbn saying that she won't start before 10dpo and I think that's the way to go but the tests at home are so distracting. Fx.

Maxim-as far as I know, you should be able to see a ruptured cyst on an u/s. Don't have experience with seeing one on an u/s, but when I was worried I might have one, I remember reading that an ultrasound may show fluid around the ovary or even an empty sac. (Correct me if I'm wrong!)

Ash-haha...same boat...can't stop obsessing! Yay for cramping! I don't think it's always in our head. I'm sure that they can be sometimes, but fun to try to see if you notice anything! Even though I've never had a BFP at 9dpo, I already feel like I'm out ugh, but trying to stay positive...

Lola hang in there!! I'm so glad to hear you are reminding yourself that's it's just too early! Fx we see you post a bfp tomorrow or the next day!! I'm good thank you! My chart still looks bfn'ish to me but I still have some hope and will know by Saturday!

Sky can you get your hands on an frer to test with tomorrow and the next day? Use your cheapies today to scratch the poas itch 😀 your almost there hang in there!!

I'm only waiting till 10dpo because I have one digi at my fingertips along with one frer and I refuse to buy more tests. I want to use both at the same time and cover the results. Then I can check the digi first and if it says not pregnant I'll have a few seconds of hope left that there's a faint line on the frer and its too soon for digi to pick up. That's the plan anyway!! I've always been terrible at waiting and have always started testing ridiculously early 😆 I was supposed to wait till 10dpo last cycle but still couldn't 😂😂

Wow, momamia, that is a gorgeous looking chart!!! Stalking!!

I just got done with my appointments. I went to the OB, who referred me to a high tech u/s technician down the street. It turns out that I don't have a cyst, but I did somehow ovulate (she couldn't tell me specifically when, but did say that I did, which I assume was last night). I also have very, very low uterine lining, which is probably why I'm not getting pregnant. I remembered that I had low uterine lining when I was pregnant with DD2, which makes me worry that I wouldn't be able to carry to full term and would miscarry if I got pregnant now. Can anything be done for this? My OB will call me tomorrow to talk it over, but I'm a mess....I don't think I"ll get DH to agree to another month after having this info, AND if I did ovulate yesterday, there's no way that my BD from 5 days ago would have been enough to get pregnant this cycle. :(

Pbn3

April 3rd, 2017, 05:08 PM

Oh maxim I'm so sorry :( I'm sure your ob will be able to help you with the lining issue. Maybe also start a thread here in gd asking if someone has had a similar experience. If there is any good news in all this, its the fact you HAVE ovulated and are on your way to a new cycle. I would ask your ob for clomid to try and bring ovulation forward and in regards to dh can you just say nothing and continue bding e4d? He knows you's are bding unprotected so if you say nothing and keep going its not like you're keeping him in the dark. Let him ask you if he has any concerns or questions of a new cycle. I would also use opks next cycle too and add an extra bd anytime it looks near or positive. Again no need to inform dh about the opks, just initiate a bd that night.... hopefully your lining issue will be all sorted by next o and you'll have a great shot at a bfp! And how exciting if you can use clomid 😀😀😀 huge hugs maxim!! Hope af arrives really soon so we can get your bfp cycle started!!

I'm not one to give advise normally but are you taking folic acid? Doesn't that help with lining and healthy egg?

April 3rd, 2017, 05:21 PM

Ash my understanding is folic acid is taken to prevent (or significantly lower the risk of) neural tube defects such as spinal bifida. I haven't personally heard of it having any effect on lining or egg quality but that's certainly not to say it doesn't, just that I'm unaware of it if it does :)

Thanks ladies! Ash, there is folic acid in my prenatal. I'm honestly unclear how I ovulated but my opk's never picked it up. It's very frustrating. But you're right, at least I did ovulate... I'll see what the OB says tomorrow, and I will start a thread, thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep you updated.

Well the link didn't work. It says a daily dose of baby aspirin no more than 81mg can help thicken uterine lining and result in less CP and MC. I was only taking them about twice a week as atomic had said it can cause issues but it says 81mg per day is fine

Aww I watched it yesterday pbn. I was originally talking folic because I'm pretty sure my ob told me to start taking it and I did find one article that said it helped with implantation by thickening the uterine lining but has also been linked to twin pregnancies.(I'm going to start taking 1200 per day) and then I had ran across an article on baby aspirin also aiding with uterine lining and preventing mc.

There is so much out there tho who know what to believe or not.
But I am feeling obvious cramping today. Does that happen during implantation? After? So if implantation was taking place now it would probably be a couple more days before I could get a bfp right?

April 3rd, 2017, 07:51 PM

I take daily aspirin (low dose) as per my obs recommendation to try and help with implantation and encourage good blood flow through uterus etc so its probably true :)

Cramping can happen during implantation and apparently many times can be confused as af cramps. And yes you are right, if implantation happens today then you'd get a faint line 2-3 days later.

Sky, I'm sure it's just too early!!! I'd wait a few days to test again.

Maxim, I responded to your other thread about your lining. I'd request Femara if I were you. It doesn't thin your lining like clomid. Your doctor can also give you estrogen and progesterone to help supplement whatever your body is deficient in.

So tmi but dh and I just dtd and I've been having the worst uterine cramps since. It's been 30 minutes and they're still going strong. I'm actually taking a bath right now to try to get my body to relax in the hopes it'll make them stop. The only time this happens this bad is when I'm pregnant. But I'm super concerned that it's one of the reasons I keep having miscarriages. I know that sounds crazy but these cramps are incredibly strong. I can't help but worry. I have also noticed an aching feeling in my ovaries today which of course I'm thinking has to be the corpus luteum. So much for not getting my hopes up, lol!!!

Just quickly sky it looks like first signal hpt has hcg sensitivity of approx 25mui (which is standard for most over the counter tests). As a comparison frer have picked up as low as 6.3mui but they are an early detection test :) I wouldn't expect to see a result on your cheapies till between 12-14dpo in case you hold off testing. That's just a guesstimate of course working on averages :)

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48

Wow. Thankyou. You know so
Much about everything. I better hold off then since it's no good. I am waiting for your test too. Fx fx fx. 12 dpo then. Eeeeeeek.

Good Morning from the US! I'm up & getting ready. I woke up feeling so nauseated, but still a BFN on my frer at 10dpo. If hcg was the cause of nausea, wouldn't I see a line?? Skyblue-I totally stare at my tests too in hopes that the line will appear lol....and it's just not there today boo!

Moma-sorry you had such bad cramps, but wow that is so encouraging!

Well, I've got to finish getting ready & hope this nausea goes away...too much to do to feel blah! I'll check back soon to see how everyone is doing. Fx for a BFP for those testing today!!

Pbn3 - The test was at 2:30pm, so I'll go around that time or a bit after.

Momamia - I'd say no more BDing for you lovely. As soon as I'm in the TWW I'm off limits LOL - actually make that the whole of the first trimester. I've never heard of sperm causing cramps! Great that it's a pregnancy sign though!

Skyblue - Bloating is an early pregnancy sign too lovely! This is my fave website for all things TWW The Very Early Signs & Symptoms of Pregnancy | Countdown to Pregnancy (http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com)
Love my boys and seeing them together today I thought, I just want a baby and if it's another boy then I'd be totally blessed

Lola - still early lovely! Hope you see those pink lines soon!

AFM: As you know I've always been worried about those high fevers, so I feel like something is wrong with the baby anyway. So I kind of hope my numbers don't double and my body knows what to do. I hope that's not insensitive....:( I've come to terms with the fact this is not our cycle.
I've ordered another 50 OPKs so I'm ready for the next cycle xo

Hope to see some more pink lines soon. Thanks for all your well wishes :flowerz:

Good morning ladies! Lola, great to see another early bird on the East Coast! My wake up time is usually 4:30-4:445am and I love it!!

Sky, trust me, you are not alone! Even when I know in my head that there is no second line, my heart see's one. Every. Single. Time.

Moma, cramps are good! I never get them unless I am pregnant! FX!!

Iwant4, love that pic! So sweet!! Why do you think something is wrong?

PBN, I'm also in your fan club!! :heart::heart:

Maxim - I read too much about high fevers and the impacts during the TWW, so I was nervous to get a BFP. Then the other part thinks, well my body should miscarriage if something was wrong (which is probably will). I go back and forth all the time.

Thanks for the encouragement Iwant4 & Ash!

I have to say...I'm actually glad I started testing early b/c now there's not a huge build up to 11dpo. I would be sooo disappointed to have waited & then see a BFN tomorrow. Now I'm expecting to see a BFN...a BFP would be an awesome surprise :)

I'm in central time zone Lola! And I totally agree with your theory on testing early.. I totally wasn't upset this am with a bfn. But right at this second I feel pretty optimistic about a bfp (I'm sure that'll change as soon as I hit reply lol!!
Since y'all are sharing super cute boy pix here's all my sweet boys!! And they are just that super sweet and I wouldn't be upset at all to have another because they call me their princess lol but it would be adorable to have a little girl in pink in the blue mix!

Cheaper & reviews sounded good/comparable to frer, so trying both. Mine are both completely white on the test side for now, but not giving up hope yet! Tomorrow will be another story lol.

How far apart are they? Heart heart. Love their pic.
Iwant4kids- You know I was a mess when I was pregnant with my dd and I will be the same when I will be pregnant again but the only thing that helped me through my pregnancy was the thought that if god gave the little bean then he is the one who is going to protect him or her too. I just kept thinking that and kept going. We are all rooting for each other and I am praying so hard for us all. Xx.
Afm, I am still not testing again. Pbn told me that the ones I have may not pick up anything until 12dpo and I am not too hopeful to get frer yet. Crazy right. I just want to wait a little longer.
Don't want to get my hopes up yet. [emoji52] Boy, I sound so patient which is so untrue. I just am afraid of disappointment specially when I don't have much hope. I have all AF signs too which isn't helping. Fx fx for you all. I am going to stalk you guys no matter what thread you go to.

Fingers crossed for the progesterone and trigger shot doing their thing!!!

I know some people have shared their journey, but not all. If you're happy to I would love to hear where you're at and how long you've been trying.

My story is short....Joined last year to read about swaying pink. Been on the LE diet since December, but strictly since January. I've lost 5-6kg. Haven't worked out since O day this cycle. Will start LE again today. I'm on clomid for unpredictable cycles. If I get AF today, I start clomid on CD2, which I'm not looking forward to as I can't stand how I feel on it. Then I should ovulate next weekend, so BDing will be in a tent as we are camping for Easter LOL
I really feel for those who have been trying for so long. I admire your patience, determination and love...plus your patience for newbies like me xo
