Melliflous May (part 2)

[shinay]

My temp this cycle seems to dip couple times gearing up for O but O never came so it keeps trying couple times. Praying for sucessful O this time.

[shinay]

Ash: it is 7:40am. Yes i test around 1ish

[maximbella]

Lola, I'm sooo sorry! We lost our sweet puppy (yes, puppy) several months ago and it was so incredibly sad. They really are like family members. I'm so sorry to hear that! :(

Shinay, I also have long, unpredictable cycles at times. Out of curiosity, are you underweight or close to it? I'm 5'5", 110 pounds, so on the lighter side and think that being underweight has contributed to my wacky cycles. I've tried to up my fat intake a bit with 1-2 servings whole milk a day and it's pushed my O date up! Just throwing it out there in case it might help?!

[kat1234]

Ugh...I'm 35. 10/15% chance [emoji85]

Hopefully the HE diet will help with my fertility even though I've only been on it 4 weeks.

LMSM - how long have you been on the HE diet??

Just took another opk because I can [emoji23] and it was pretty negative. Will stick with testing in the afternoon/evening from here on out. I laughed thinking of the janitor taking out the trash from my work seeing my cups and sticks [emoji23] They'll either have no idea what they are or just think someone is crazy!!

[lovepink13]

Hubby was able to make it home just for the day on Mother's Day and I happened to ovulate the next day (which was 5 days earlier than the past few months). I am taking this as a good sign and am in my TWW now!

[shinay]

Maxim: i am 5'3". I was 110 before HE diet. I am now 117-120 pounds. I think i am on average. I normally have pretty regular cycle. Things just dont like to go my way hahaha

[shinay]

Kat: to think about it, our janitor is a guy. He must think someone is going crazy with all the sticks and cups (me). I think Atomic did recommend HE diet for about 6 weeks so 4 weeks is very good already.

Lovepink: yayyy for early O. That is perfect coincidence. Fx for your bfp! How many dpo are you?

[kat1234]

Shinay - how long have you been on it? I'm on the lean side too, BUT I haven't gained (yet). That's one of the things that makes me question my sway. I've completely changed my diet just haven't gained weight.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

[maximbella]

Augh I would love to be on the HE diet! ;)

[shinay]

Kat: i have followed HE diet more strict for about 4-5 weeks. But i have always loved salty food and lots of protein and carbs and i always have bfast. Just not red meat, so eating more red meat is a challenge for me. What is your diet like?

[AshFind]

Yay! Love pink!! When will you start testing [emoji6]
You all talking about tiny weights is making me jealous! I've never thought of myself "big" but I've always been in the 170-180s when I've conceived! This time on LE for only 7ish weeks I was 156 so I sure hope [emoji120] it has done me some good!

[Lolabelle]

Oh Max, that's just so sad! It must have been so hard for your girls :( My sweet cat was a fluffy blue Persian with a big personality. I was so worried about leaving her for our beach weekend, so I'm glad she is not in pain anymore [emoji22]
Shinay-I'm petite too-5ft! Do you have trouble reaching the top shelves at grocery stores #shortpeopleproblems.
Ash-I love the idea of including early March in the ddg-maybe the title could be expanded to include March [emoji12]
Lovepink-Happy 2WW!! [emoji322] Get those tests ready!!!

Lola: yeahh you will see me jumping up and down trying to reach the stuffs or i will be eyeing for some tall person to help me out...so embarassing lol

And i agree with expanding to early March as well so we late bfp wont feel left out [emoji14]

[kat1234]

Max - are you still testing? Your temps are just still looking good!

Shinay- I've always eaten 3 meals with 2/3 snacks a day, but my meals were always low cal/carby versus protein. Could seriously eat meat twice a week and be fine. Love pb&j sandwiches, grilled cheese, pasta etc. I've switched all that. Now eating red meat 6 times a week, lunch is salad with 2 eggs, cheese and full fat salad dressing. Adding in full fat milk which I've never drank before in my life! Dropped coffee (splurge on the weekends) for tea. I miss my old ways though, sigh... I love eggs, red meat, etc just not every single day!

Ash - sounds like your sway was great for girl!! Go you for losing that weight.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

[AshFind]

Kat I'm packing it right back on [emoji20] last couple days I've started tracking calories again hope it helps because I can not let myself go back to where I was! I think this is probably why I have so many boys! What you just explained you've been eating was my diet to a T! You so got this!!

[kat1234]

Well I gain lots when pregnant so don't worry!! Last one, I gained 15 pounds by week 15 [emoji85] After that I started weighing in backwards so I wouldn't know. I just get so nauseous the only thing that helps is eating. Then around 20 weeks I feel better and the extreme cravings start. It's so weird what pregnancy can do to your body.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

[shinay]

Kat: i feel you. Since i dont lift weight (oops), i have been trying to load myself up with red meat. Cant wait to take a break though. Kinda sick of it already. i like to have a variety of things, so it is kinda hard to control myself on what i should and should not eat for this sway. I hope diet and bd attempts are good enough for our sway.

It sounds like you are doing well with your diet. We can do this. We will get bfp soon so we can take a little break from egg and red meat.

[AshFind]

Great idea kat to weigh backwards [emoji23][emoji23] why have I not thought of that! The bad thing is I have to get progesterone shots from week 16-36 so I had to go in every week and weight and well lets just say I surprised myself at how much a person can gain in one week [emoji23] will be using this tactic if I have another boy and get shots!

[AshFind]

And I feel you shinay! I didn't want to stray to far from what I KNEW I could eat so I found myself eating the same thing all the time!

[Pbn3]

Morning all! I've just caught up and just want to say quickly I think adding March to the ddg is a fantastic idea!!!! Next thread we create (part 3) we'll be sure to include it!

Lola I'm so sorry about your fur baby :( I have 10 and 7 year old cats and am dreading the day their health starts declining. My boys love them too so its going to be even more heartbreaking. Look forward to seeing your wondfo test and kinda glad you had an open circle this morning because wow that opk yesterday looked so positive. So you're cd10 right? Fx for smiley tomorrow morning!!!

Maxim that's awesome that dh is on board to keep trying!!! Woohoo!!! Were you able to get the bw request sorted? And yes definately keep ringing!!

Shinay should only be a couple hours now till your opk! Cant wait to see that blaring pos!!

Kat 😂😂😂 about pee cups and sticks in the trash 😂😂 can just imagine someone looking oddly at it and scratching their head with a WTF expression 😂😂

Hi and welcome lovepink! Wow what a fantastic coincidence for your attempt!! I would definitely be reading into that as a 'sign' but I'm abit kooky like that 😂 so does that make you 2 or 3 dpo? Not sure what if your a day ahead, behind or same where I am 😉

I envy you petite ladies!!! I aways thought I'd love to have a small feminine frame but no I'm tall and have broad shoulders *sigh
Speaking of which, Ash I'm being careful what I eat too and am weighing weekly. I'd like to lose 5 kg in my first trimester so I can put it back on in my second 😂😂😂

Ladies, so sorry I've not been on for days, life has been crazy! My DH has to go in hospital for an urgent op on his spinal cord in his neck so everything else has been forgotten.. I've just had my positive opk today but doubt I can get hubby to do anything as he is super stressed. Pretty sure this won't be our month. I haven't got time now to catch up on everyone else but I hope you are all ok and I will try and read back through when I can x

Good morning Pbn. Just did my test. Same old results lol. Dip stick still look the same. 2 lines have same darkness. Digi cb is getting darker than before though, but not enough to trigger pos. Oh well we will still maintain eod.

Forgot to post my test

Hello Ladies.
Lolla - I m so sorry about the cat. Hugs. How are the boys taking it? Kids are usually not as emotional as we are. My dd's teacher told me when we were struggling to decide if we should
Get a pet because we thought she would be devastated if something happened to the pet but her teacher told me that kids get over the sadness sooner than the grown ups. When I read ur msg, the first thought came to my mind was the kids.
On a separate note can't believe we will be Oing soon. Fx

Hi Ladies

Im off to pick up my us resukts there will be no report in them though but at least i can stare for a while.

Then fasting bloods. Ill catch up after all my running around.

Shinay - You are doing so awesome. I bet it's crazy for the vajajay but I hope u get ur bfp soon. That's hard work. [emoji12][emoji4]
The digi looks quite dark. I pray u get a solid smiley soon so that u get some break.
Max - I m so glad that dh is still onboard. That must be a relief. I had to convince mine for a couple of months for a second.
Kat - How are the tests looking?
Afm, I got the flashing
Smiley with fmu. Now waiting
For
Solid.



https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Now i can understand how frustrating it is to see negative tests all the times lol. At least i know to use advanced cb next month so at least i get to see some flashing smile and know sth is happening.

Hmm at this point, i am not sad anymore just want this to be over so i can take a little break (mentally and physically) hahaha

I can totally understand the frustration. We never used any opk with dd and were like this every month. For us it's not fun when bding becomes a chore. Dh wants to do it every night but not when we have to do it. KWIM. Hence not braving up
To eod.
Hang in there. You have been doing amazing.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. Group hug! I dont have anyonr irl to talk about these things so i am glad to have someone to "vent". At least i dont feel so lonely.

Shinay-you are so close, don't stop now!! Your tests look similar to mine. A day or 2 & you'll be chillin' in the 2WW! The stress of moving & ttc may be delaying things.
Pbn-yep I'm on CD10 & think my digi may be slightly darker. Hoping I can get an attempt in Fri & O Sat or Sun while I'm at the beach. On another note, I always wished I could be taller, prob why I wear 3inch wedges so I can be at least as tall as Shinay lol. Grass is always greener...
Mummy-so sorry about DH! Hope he gets better soon! You don't want to worry with ttc while stressed! We'll be right here & maybe you'll be in the next ttc cycle.
Max-smart story to tell your daughters!! Can't imagine ugh!! Have you POAS again recently? Any signs of AF?
Kat-your typical diet before HE sounds like my typical diet, so makes me excited that maybe I may possibly be girl friendly. I've always eaten this way, just cut out breakfast, dried cereal & no supplements. Good idea to weigh backwards haha 🤣

Morning (evening)!

Lola, so sorry for your kitty – they do become such an integral part of the family that when they pass away it is a family member that disappears.
My parents in Europe now look after my cat, I got him as a teenager and he is now their ‘baby’ as all their kids have left the nest – he is an old kitty and probably doesn’t have that long to go – but I know I will be devastated when it happens! Big hugs!
Oh those opks are darkening for sure!

Max – hope your temp stays high and you get a good outcome – but I know how it is to be deflated like that – definitely recommend looking at a luteal phase series bw, as that allows to test your progesterone 7 days post O, then a couple more time a few days later to see how the levels are…I did that when TTC my 1st and it identified a luteal phase defect (my LP was short 8-10d max – though yours looks good so it is less likely progesterone is a massive issue!?).
Great to see DH is on board to continue TTC – that must give you some energy to continue as you have ;)
Your weight probably works in your favour for sure! (no idea what that equates in meters, I don’t speak in feet lol – but am 1.68m and about 51kg so I think about the same size – ish? And I had 2 girls ^^).
Oh bless your girls with regards to the puppy – so sweet!

Netti – gah how vague was that u/s tech?! that’s what I hate in Oz, all has to go through the doc (which I can understand to a certain extent) –but where I am from originally, you could even rock up to do any medical exam without a script – if it wasn’t prescribed you just paid for the full cost yourself – that would be ooooso handy for hcg bw for instance or u/s!! ;)
Hope you can get your bw done today as planned! Given they’re fasting ones, you probably have done them already or are in the middle of ;)

Shinay – keep it up girl, you’ve done so well so far, don’t give up on this cycle – the show is not over until AF rocks up – and as you said yourself, you wouldn’t want to give up only to O and be in pink sway territory only to then regret it… come on OPK, be glaringly positive.. come on temperature, riiiiiise!!!!

Pbn – we need you to stick around for sure! Not until all of us have our BFPs are you allowed to move on ;)
Oh and yes, it would be so cool to have March due dates included in the DDG :D
Is it raining already where you are hon? I had a great sleep and sleep the best when it rains – so wish I could have stayed in bed :D Here it’s just spitting and of course, now that they are announcing heavy rains starting this arvo I have meetings in the CBD – fortunately I bought a new umbrella last week as I forgot mine on the train some weeks ago lol

Kat – I started the HE about 6 months ago when I found this site - as in gradually making changes so it became habit then full on HE probably 2 months ago ^^ my diet used to be pretty close to what yours was ;)
Hey, I’m 32 – and a shitt* fertility to start with, and the HE seems to have made some good changes on that so you definitely have a chance especially since you got pregnant fast before didn’t you? ;)
Did you test at work hence the janitor comment? Lol He probably would go ‘wtf is thiiiiis? ‘ Lmao
I haven’t gained weight either (but then I don’t have a scale at home so it is just a guess lol) – but I can tell I am certainly more solid, if that makes sense - you don’t have to gain weight, but it can’t hurt especially if you are on the lean side to begin with ;) but best to gain that in muscle anyways! ^^ like you I gained a lot during pregnancy after the 1st trimester – I was up to 18/19kg at full term for DD1 and 15kg for DD2 when I last weighed myself a week before she was born (and she was a chubba 3.75kg at 38+6w! lol) – I would likely have weighed a few kgs more if I had gone a few more weeks…fortunately BFing took care of the extra weight lol

Lovepink – yay for DH coming on just in time for O – sounds like a very happy coincidence that I would take as a sign – everything happens for a reason they say! – happy TWW !

Mummy2boys – oh no for your DH – is he ok now? Health is paramount – am sure if he can recover quietly over the next few weeks, he will be all good to go next cycle with a BFP at the end of it for you! I know how hard it is to delay TTC, so hang in there !

[netti02]

Thanks ladies. Below is the report. Actually looks pretty standard for pre O time with a follicle ready at 1.8cm and a good lining of 10mm.

Ive been taking opks nothing as yet. At least nothing was seen outside of the uterus. Ive had stenting done before for pelvic congestion (this explains my bowel issues and early pregnancy feeling to a degree) however I wont be having any further treatment. I had a quite a number of stents put in the veins with good success at the time yet during a routine CXR before gallbladder removal actually shown one of these coils in my chest field which travelled and is sitting somewhere in the venous system. I've been assured it won't move through to the heart but its always a scary thing.

Fasting bloods have been done. I feel it would be too early on us to see anything if I was pg. If I O around the time me and DH thought it was safe i could still be 10/11dpo but that would be very unlikely as I had what i thought was Af during that time. I haven't looked at the pics yet but I will.

Still feeling abit of nausea and strange bbs on and off but thats probably just me yet my skin and hair feel fantastic 🙂 Ill be opk and hpt testing this afternoon fx for a miracle

I just know i am pg or have some strange illness that exhibits the same symptoms i just know it. My sick feeling and increase toilet trips just started since the beginning of the week. Feeling super nauseated atm. Im sure i am sending you all crazy like myself 😂

My opks from this evening. CM is changing too. Should I do another digi before bed or do two tomorrow. I have only 3 more left. [emoji51]
Also have just one of the pink digi. Should I try that one and see if it gives a solid. If yes then do advance or else fmu. I am so confused.Wondfos don't look dark though yet. Experts- Pls advise. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170518/2216d55677c4e0635c632eab4d7df1e2.jpg

Sky: i would say wait till tomorrow. I personally dont have much luck with night tome testing. The line always seems a bit lighter at night.

8pm test. Maybe positive tomorrow morning but who knows....so everyone, should i maintain my eod and bd tonight or stop bd? Dh is gone next week so if i dont O by weekend, we wont be able to put in more attempts later and would end up with O-4 or more.

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

[Pbn3]

Shinay if you want to do multiple attempts then I would give yourself and dh a rest tonight to store up energy for your multiple attempts. Not many people can achieve eod for near as long as you have which is why multiple attempts is thought to be more doable for the majority of people. I have seen time and time again in this site that eod sways strongly blue. I explained it previously as always having a fresh, healthy supply of swimmers ready plus there's always two attempts that count (either 3-o and 1-o or 2-o and o day) also it keeps dh's swimmers at optimal health which would also sway blue. I'll post a link to the thread with the explanation as to why atomic mostly recommends multiple attempts over eod for you to read so you can see yourself its to do with the worry that people can't see it through :)

Good morning ladies!!

Lola, I'm surprised it's an open circle with that color on the opk! It should be any day, though! When do you leave for vacation?

Shinay, keep up the good work! ;) Very impressive BDing!!

Netti, sorry to hear that you're going through all this. Hoping you get some answers soon!

How is everyone else?? My temp went down a bit again today, sure AF is coming today or tomorrow. I'm 14dpo today. Took a FRER, has the faintest double line (probably too hard to capture on phone but will try when it dries a bit). Frustrating....but on to the next month! I didn't get a call back from my OB from my first call; I called again and he's at a conference so not sure when I'll get a call back from him!! What should I do?

[maximbella]

Wait, lola...are you using the purple digi with the circle, flashing and solid smiley? Or the pink one with just the circle and smiley??

[kat1234]

Will catch up with everyone soon!

But, need help! Husband was in a mood last night and we didn't BD. The last time we did was Sunday [emoji51] We will tonight to get rid of old/bad spermies then either start EOD or might get positive OPK and get in 3 attempts. My opks are still really light, but I'm only on CD13. Haven't tested today as it's only 7am. Now I'm stressing about BDing [emoji51] He promised me this morning he will not pull that again, but I'm worried we've only got 3 attempts in from CD 6-12. I know those aren't the attempts to get preggo but it's still not frequent sex either. Someone talk me down...[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Sky - I get why you stress about this now!!


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Kat, I think the 2-3+ attempts in the fertile window is what matters....not the attempts prior since they can't get you pregnant. Right?!

[shinay]

Lola: fx for flashing and solid smile soon! Sounds like my O wanted to wait and join all of you guys hahaha.

Max: i thinking Lola use the purple/advanced one since the cap is also purple. How frustrating it is not to get a call back. I am sorry hun. I hope we will call you soon. But 14dpo is longer than your usual lp, right? I somehow remember you only have 12 days lp. Fx for sticky bean!

Lola, you're still getting a blank circle on the purple digi?? Not even the flashing smiley? Those lines look dark, figured you would get at least flashing. Learn something new through this process every day!

Shinay, usually I'm 12 days, but it can go to 14. So AF should arrive today/tomorrow... I took a FRER and it's so faint, I can't even get it on camera. The lines haven't darkened since 9dpo, so I'm guessing that's a chemical this cycle. Bummer!

I m not the one to advise since I hardly know things but I think u may be safe since opks aren't positive yet and by the time they do, u will have fresh sperm waiting if u BD tonight and eod thereafter. I would still wait for
Pbn and others to give their opinion.
Thanks for saying that u understand. You know we have been bding eod with protection and last night I thought what am I doing but I m a control freak and if dh bails on me for even one night, I will lose it. I doubt his commitment. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]I therefore like to count on the attempts after pos opk because atleast that helps me feel better. [emoji12][emoji12]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

[XXforhubby]

Max- doctor's typically say to BD on CD10 and that's total crap! To make sure you don't miss O, you are going to need to BD E4D or BD E3D. I would also use opks but know that they will give you a false positive if you test too early. You can start on using opks on CD10 but don't be surprised if it's pretty dark. You should get one later when it's truly O time. I recommend using ICs or the pink CBDs. Do not use the purple advanced CBDs. You must BD E4D at minimum to not miss O. I cannot stress this enough! Clomid will make your CM non existent. You may need to use a tiny bit of lube to make BDing comfortable. Don't be surprised if you O when you normally would or a little later. Taking Clomid on CD5-9 doesn't typically bring O forward much, if at all. My RE had me take it CD3-7 and it didn't make my O earlier. Only when I took it CD2-6 did it move my O date forward. Everyone is different though. Atomic, myself, and plenty of other ladies that have taken Clomid can help you! Don't hesitate to start a new thread, if/when you have questions!

Oh, it will make you very thirsty, can make you moody, and have hot flashes, this is all normal!!

Sky, Kat: i would lose it if dh bails on eod plan. Luckily, he is cooperating well now. But who knows when that would change. 3 attempts at O will work out great. am bd is kinda hard to squeeze in as well (at least for me). Are you guys doing anything to raise ph or you dont worry about ph? My ph seems to be neutral or on lower side :(

[maximbella]

Thank you so much xx!!! So why would I get a positive on opk early? I'm planning on e3d for sure (only e4d if DH travels week of O). I'll definitely start a new thread... Now I need to really think through if I'm going to tell DH or not. Leaning towards yes b/c I hate secrets and I know I'll end up with twins if I don't tell him (which as cute as that sounds, would SO not be good for us, and I'm not sure my body could support a twin pregnancy for real!)...

[XXforhubby]

The reason for a false positive opk early, is Clomid increases FSH and LH hormones causing a positive opk to occur. The guidelines for using opks are to start testing 5-7 days after you take your last Clomid pill. That doesn't mean you will get a positive opk then, that is when you can start testing. I always got my positive opk 5 days after taking my last Clomid dose. You want to keep BDing until then and even a few days after your positive opk in case you didn't respond to the Clomid. It can take a cycle or two for you to respond to it. It took me one cycle but everyone is different.

That makes total sense! Okay so if I end on CD9, start opk testing on CD14? And when do I start the e3d/e4d BDs, after AF or after ending clomid? Sorry for all the questions!!

[kat1234]

Max - we really should be sisters! I hate secrets hence I tell DH way too much about TTC and it backfires on me. But, tell him about the clomid. It might make you hormonal and act weird and I think you'll want him to know it's the meds and not you! I love "I'll end up with twins if I don't tell him" that's sooo the way I think [emoji23]

Morning all!

Lola like max I'm really surprised you don't at least have a flashing smiley. Would surely have tp be tomorrow morning! I wonder if you'll go straight from open circle to solid smiley. I've read of that happening but never seen it happen to me or anyone in these 2ww threads lol.

Maxim did you get a quant hcg draw done yet?? And yay for the clomid! However I agree you definitely need to tell your hubby what clomid is and the fact it can increase chance of multiples. I'm actually surprised he's prescribed it without any testing first? As in your amh, fsh and lh... speaking of which has he given you bw requests to get these tested on cd3? Totally agree with xxforhubby!! Start bding cd10 and follow and e3d or e4d pattern. Then you can decide whether to add an attempt at pos opk. Also is he checking progesterone 7 days after o? I know for one of my clomid cycles my result was like 170 compared to the 38's I was getting on others so I definately oed more than one egg that cycle 😮 still didn't help me catch even one though at the time 😂

@xxforhubby I'm curious as to why you said don't use the advanced digi with clomid? Just because as far as I was aware its the only opk that can be used as normal with clomid. For others you need to wait at least 4 days after last pill to start using (which you said :) )

Katt don't stress! Just dtd tonight. Probably best not to push dh too much as he may backflip over the pressure of 'having' to perform.... when you get your pos opk, keep it quiet and initiate bding yourself. For the second and third (if there is one) attempts maybe initiate things by doing something to get him 'ready' and past the point of return iykwim... I really think apparent 'spontaneity' or mixing it up can help dh through the 3 attempt process. *sigh, like we women don't have enough to do already 😂😂

Shinay I don't know what to say so instead I'm giving you a humungous virtual hug and if your digi opk isn't solid tomorrow I will completely support you in giving this cycle away if that's what you're ready to do. You have put so much into this cycle and I'm so bummed o hasn't happened yet.

Max- My last Clomid cycle was Dec. 5th. The cycle I conceived this baby was on Dec. 25th. Even though I didn't take Clomid that cycle, it was still in my system (it takes 30-60 days to fully be cleared in your body).

Pbn3- my RE told me the advanced CBDs don't work as well for most people on Clomid cycles, because Clomid increases all hormones (not as much for estrogen). Often people don't get a peak despite having an otherwise pos opk. That was my experience. The only cycle I got a peak using them was the cycle I didn't take Clomid. However, I got positives on Wondos and the pink CBDs in and off my Clomid cycles.

Thank you lovepink! If you want to share the link select the menu dropdown button top rh corner, select share chart and data, select create/preview homepage and then press the web link you see. It'll open in your phone web browser then all you have to do is copy the web address and paste into a message on here :)

That is a big fallback rise but normally a disrupted sleep will heighten your temp rather than lower. The open window could have been a factor if you normally sleep with it closed?? Also possible mouth breathing prior to waking up. If this cycle doesn't pan out can I recommend you switch to vaginal temping next cycle? It's far more accurate and you don't have to worry about environmental factors affecting your temp :)

I always sleep with the window closed but decided to open it last night for some fresh air. I'll keep it closed from now on!
I could try vaginal.. haha I'm not really sure how.. how do you know how far to stick it in?!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Pbn3]

It's really easy lovepink :) just have a few practice goes before you start for real. It needs only to be inserted far enough that the head of the bbt is completely covered. As a guide when first starting I would insert the bbt alongside my index or middle finger and insert to middle knuckle (so half a finger basically) then remove my finger to take temp. After a few goes you'll be fine and more comfortable with it. I then just gave the bbt a good wipe with an alcohol swab/wipe :)

[Lolabelle]

Lovepink-agree with trying vag temps, much more accurate. I had never even thought of trying it that way until pbn & ash mentioned it, but it's super easy & no biggie!
Here are my OPKs-wondfo this PM. It's not pos yet, but getting there. Mine seem to be pos when the test line is much darker than test.

lola, my goodness those tests are so dark! I'm shocked you haven't gotten a solid smiley, seriously!!

soooo yah, probably shouldn't have been so honest about the clomid with DH....he's pretty freaked by it! :worry: he wants to call the doctor to ask a lot of his questions, which is not great...he's a lawyer and i'm afraid he's going to grill the poor ob LOL! any advice here???

[AshFind]

LOL that's great max hehe poor ol dr. ! Maybe he'll feel a bit more relaxed about it if he calls [emoji53]hopefully

[Pbn3]

Agree with Ash Maxim! Let him talk to your ob as it may put his mind at ease. Asking again in case you missed it earlier but has your ob ordered any bw for you yet??

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

[kat1234]

Max - honestly if he just googled it he'd see the increased risk of multiples. Just let him call. A doctor should be able to handle it. I'm sorry, I know more stress is not what you need right now.

[atomic sagebrush]

Tell him that Clomid has been in use since the 60's, was invented a decade before that and investigated for over 10 years before it was put into use, it's on the WHO list of the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system, and has been used by millions of women and men (men use it for some health issues as well) with very rare and mild side effects. Millions of babies have been conceived on Clomid including some of the women who are now TTC on this very site!!

You only take it for 5 days, many days before you even release an egg, and it cannot harm a baby. In fact, it's been shown not to, and the only real risk to an unborn baby is if you took it while pregnant (so don't! and always take a pregnancy test the day you are due to start the Clomid even if you are 100% sure you are not pregnant!) Multiples are a concern but as long as you stick to the dose they give you, higher order multibples (beyond twins) are unlikely.

There are a jillion scary drugs on the market, and even more herbal supplements that people will swallow like TicTacs without any investigations, but Clomid I believe to be among the best and safest. :) HTH.

[maximbella]

Kat, that's exactly what he did after I told him...went straight to google. [emoji51]

Pbn, yes he is ordering labs for me on CD3 and 21 (or 7 days after I O since it's a bit more unpredictable for me). Also doing the ultrasound to check for blocked tubes after CD3.

Atomic, oh its not me or my safety he's worried about, it's him ending up with twins. [emoji23] it took me months to convince him to just try for one month, that has turned into a few months, and now clomid. I think he's overwhelmed with it, and quite honestly just scared of doubling our children almost overnight, if that makes sense. Do you know realistically what the chances of someone taking 50mg from day 5-9 is for twins? Let's not even get into more than 2... [emoji12]

Max - just wanted to say again, my heart goes out to you!! My husband would be the same exact way. He's given me 2 months to TTC and definitely does not have the burning desire for another child like I do. Please don't lose hope if y'all decide to not use the clomid. You still have a chance, albeit only 10/15% thanks to whoever pointed that out to us [emoji1411][emoji12][emoji23] (I'm 35 too). It might have been you! Of all the people I know that have used clomid personally (I can think of 5 off the top of my head), none of them had twins. My Sis is one of those 5. And I have 2 friends that conceived the cycle after using it like XX so that might be common? I know it's late in NYC, I hope you somehow get some sleep tonight!

Haha Kat-I'm the one that pointed out how old we are 🤣I'm 38...only 2 more years for me and chances supposedly drop even more wahhhh.
Max-I feel like I've read somewhere that taking Clomid days 3-7 are the more common days for egg quantity (multiples) and days 5-9 are more for egg quality. If DH talks to your OB, I'm sure it'll reassure him. I'm also sure that it's not the 1st time someone wanted to ask your OB 101 questions [emoji12]
I'm really hoping & praying that I will have a solid smiley at a convenient time for BDing...ideally that would have been tomorrow (Fri). If I get a solid at the beach on Sat...I won't have the chance to BD until Monday. If I get a solid...I may try to get us home Sunday evening. We're not traveling too far, so may be doable!!

Lola why not juet bd tonight and tomorrow night then to at least give you some attempts in case you o over the weekend? As per maxim question is there no way you can sneak a bd in?

Shinay, pbn & Max-I'm def going to BD Fri since we leave Sat. Maybe we can get a quickie in before we leave Sat AM. Guess I will have to play it by ear b/c I have never BD around parents/siblings. Or I like the "forgot" something at the store idea shinay lol. If we BD tomorr (Fri) and O Sun, that may cover me right? DH is out catching up with some friends he hasn't seen in forever, maybe we can get an attempt in when he gets home. I have to get up at the crack of dawn though...

A quick update ladies ive been to the drs beta hcg negative, still not seeing anything but what i think are faint on hpt. Im absolutely devastated because i still feel symptomatic. All other bloods are good even my iron and all my hormones. My vitamin D was low so ill just be supplementing with that.

I have read up on my condition and alot of the things ive been feeling including nausea (which im just in disbelief- i don't remember this last time) can be caused by this. I had a scan in January due to mid cycle bleeding and there was nothing significant in relation to reemergence of varices.

The very heartbreaking part is this mimics early pregnancy right down to the bloated, nausea, achy, tired, moody feeling. I also have a watery discharge which im sure i had in pregnancy even my cervix feels different. I even have tender/lumpy BBs which I can't explain these. Treatment is limited as i had previous complications but the truth is I really don't have the time nor the money to be following up this. Last time I was at Uni and living with in-laws.

I really hope all of you wonderful, supportive ladies get your BFPs and DG. Ill certainly hang around to cheer you on.

Babydust to all of you 👶👶👶

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

[netti02]

Pbn its called pelvic congestive syndrome or pelvic varices. Just think varicose veins in your pelvis and i don't have them on my legs would you believe.

What really baffles me is i had nausea start suddenly in the early hours of Monday while I was at work 9 days after me and DH were intimate. I did have a period during this time but i just found it weird that it suddenly started then.

[Pbn3]

Thanks netti I'll have a read about it later so I'm familiar with it. I'm really sorry it wasn't what you wanted to hear. What does this mean ttc wise? Can this affect it? You had a nice folli at your u/s the other day right? Are you still using opks? You never know, dh might get lazy with the pull out if you happen to dtd....

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

[netti02]

Thanks pbn.

Im still using opks as I was trying to pinpoint where O is happening in my cycle but its just been disastrous. In preparation for July.

The only thing is ttc wise the extra pressure and blood flow from pregnancy may cause me more pain but its really unknown. I had treatment in 06/07 and had 3 further pregnancies with nil complications.

I had treatment 2006-2007 maybe 3 or 4 ops where they put coils and a glue to divert flow. One of these coils moved to somewhere in my chest field i think in one of my pulmonary branch's. So far its had minimal impact on my health but still a big worry.

Thanks ladies for putting up with my craziness

So quick update Ladies. I did the digi just now since I have had two days of flashing. Today being the second day. I wanted to make sure that I m not going to have a solid smiley now since the first one was fmu. Sharing the pics. Top digi is fmu and the bottom is just now.

If it's tomorrow then night will be easy to do BD and next morning I have to take dd for a class early morning. I m hoping she takes a nap in the afternoon and we can BD again. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]🤞🤞🤞I have good Ewcm right now too. I also got Preseed. What do U suggest?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

[Pbn3]

Its up to you sky but I think its a good idea to bd as it ticks off one attempt already especially if you have good ewcm!! I wouldn't use preseed tonight in that case. Then if your smiley is solid tomorrow morning and you dtd tomorrow night that's two attempts done and dusted 😀 and if its still flashing then abstain tomorrow night and revert back to attempts at pos opk. Its a win win in my opinion!

He's going to be out of action for a long time now so thought we'd give it a go.

Good morning ladies!!

Lola, that is totally crazy!! Do you think you might be getting an error since you're testing with the purple strips but on the pink digi? Do you know what I'm saying, not sure I have the right words for this? My caps that go with that one are pink and I wonder if it's somehow unable to read the purple strips since I believe they are meant for the advanced digi. Am I wrong??

sky, your opk's are looking good...sure you'll get your positive soon! There's a nice transition!

Netti, I'm incredibly sorry to hear about your experience. Wishing you the best right now.

Mummy, can't wait for your testing to start!!!

Nothing new here...temps are still up, totally negative hpt this am, and no cramping. Darn AF, get here already... DH is planning to call my OB early next week to chat. Wish me (and my OB) luck hahaha.... ;)

Pbn-oops took my temp at the same time, but forgot to enter. It dropped a little-maybe I'm gearing up to O.
Max-I thought I used the purple one, but oops I hope I didn't grab the wrong one! I do have an old pink one! I'll have to check when I get home, but can't tell from my pic. If so, very good point!!!

I don't know enough about other digis to answer.


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

Sky you shouldn't use fmu for wondfos. You may get a false positive. That result on the wondfo with fmu is not reliable so wait until your after lunch test with wondfo before deciding about the digis :) are the other wondfos in pic with fmu or afternoon pee?

Shinay omg please please please let that temp spike indicate o!!! And no its not a 2-o attempt its a 3-o and 1-o!!!!! So two attempts with super healthly swimmers!!!! Cannot wait for tomorrows temp!

Soooo I probably need to talk about that. I drink tons of water. Now that I'm getting closer to go time define holding liquids. Like 8 ounces is 2/3 hours. I feel like holding 2 hours is hard sometime so 3 is a stretch [emoji51] But my urine always seems really light when collected so I'm wondering if I need to limit. I'd say I'm probably drinking 8-16 ounces every 2 hours.

Kat a 2 hour hold is perfectly fine if you limit your fluids for say 2 hours prior to the hold. Water can definitely dilute your sample. So at 10am only sip from your water here and there until 12ish and try not drink anything at all in the last hour. Just hold from 11am to 1pm then. I would just stick to the 1pm test too for now. It's your first cycle trying right? The majority of people will get their pos opk by testing between 11am - 4pm

Sky: your wondfo looks really close. I cant give you much advice on bd. I would say follow what Pbn and what other ladies recommend. Fx!

Pbn: i really hope temp didnt play a trick on me lol. If it does, it really wants me to keep going this cycle. I will put in one more attempt tonight just in case. Omg this is so excitingggg!

Thanks ladies! I'll def consider the cb advanced for next month, if needed, I'm just cheap. I used wondfos last time we were TTC no problem. But, it's been 4 years and I can't remember what I did AND I think my bladders probably worse now [emoji23][emoji1411] I swear I can my last positive around 11, so that's why I've been trying around that time.

Kat everyone wondfo experience is different but in my case I went from neg like yours straight to positive in two days time.
Shinay woo woo for lighter wondfo!!

[kat1234]

Thanks Ash! That's what I remember too and why they can be so fun [emoji23] You never know whatcha going to see!

Pbn - All other wondfos are from the afternoon or evening. Only today's with fmu. My days r super crazy until June first week that's y I get so late in responding. Sorry ladies. I will do another wondfo in about 45 min. What about the digi? Do one at the same time or wait for wondfo's result. I should have had got my solid this morning that's y asking to do another digi. What about BD?
Kat - We are doing protecting BD. The last one was day before pm.
I think testing once in the afternoons s at night is a good idea with wondfo . I just did it with fmu because my digi was still flashing and I freaked out. Shinay - The temp rise is so exciting. And the wondfo is lighter. Yay. 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Max - How are u? Your temp is still high. 🤞🤞
Lolla - Where are u? What's the latest on opk?
Pbn, Ash and Dreaming - How are u all feeling? 3 more sleeps until Dreaming's appointment. [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]
Can't wait.
Pbn, Ash- When is your appointment?

[kat1234]

Ok Sky - (when you have time) tell me why you are doing protected bd again? Was it because you did unprotected EOD and got girl or is it bc your scared DH isn't going to be willing to go when you get positive opk and then you'd risk girly zone with previous BDs?

Just trying to figure this all out [emoji23]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41ecd9

[Pbn3]

Sky I would wait and see how your wondfo looks first before using digi. Hey I thought theee was a protected intercourse option on ff? Can you have a quick look and if so mark in your protected bds? My scan is on the 30th May and I'll try get into my ob either 1st or 2nd June :)

Kat - For both reasons that u mentioned here. That's how we got dd and dh's work is super stressful and a rough day can throw my plan out of the window. I m inclining towards eod unprotected close to O if things won't work out soon.
Pbn - That was exactly my thought. Will post a pic of my wondfo once I reach home and then wait to hear from u.

I didn't temp this am as DD2 was unwell last night and woke me up multiple times..I ended up in her bed with her at 5.30 ish to calm her down, so by the time we got up at 6.30 the thermometer was in my room, I had not slept well, hadbeen up multiple times..so gave up on even trying today as wouldn't be a temp that could be kept �� sorry to disappoint lol
Hopefully tonight's sleep will be better as am uber keen to see my 7dpo temp hehe

[Pbn3]

Oh no I hope dd2 feels better today, its awful when little ones are sick [emoji22]
Well I will settle for stalking your chart tomorrow a.m. Don't forget to catch some fmu on Monday morning in case I'm successful at pressuring you into testing 😉

She seems full of beans now! But yesterday she was clingy and soooo emotional, and ended up doing a 30 min snooze on me on the sofa by 5pm, which hasn't happened since she was tiny. When she woke up she was warm and just wanted her bed...I reckon she has a chest infection in the making, some chesty cough plus what seems to be a sore throat at least seem to point that way...gah.
At least we have the sun out this morning, whereas yesterday I had them indoors most of the day due to the rain (hello cabin fever !)

Shinay, just saw you might have O'd...woohoo !!!! Fx this was indeed O so your vajayjay can get a well deserved rest lol

Oh shoot have to run' hubby is calling so hope to drop by again over the weekend to finish ;)

Oh you are more than fine. Trust me. Everyone here got their boys with a lot of BD. I wish I could do that. My diet must have been the reason. It's totally different now. Eod is the way to go. It's just my fear. Umm working on it. [emoji12]

Looks pos to me but wait for more to weigh in tho

[shinay]

Sky: it looks like positive to me. But i would use the pink cb to confirm. Do you still have the same sample you used earlier? If not, make sure you limit liquid and hold and test again in a few hours

Sky forgot to add don't do the digi. Put it out of your mind. By bding tonight and the following two nights you will either end up with 2 or 3 attempts (I think the latter, my prediction is a 2-o, 1-o and day o attempts 😀)

Shinay - I did it last pregnancy and it's just so annoying to me for some reason. I wish it didn't have to be first thing in the AM.

P.S. I think your EOD attempts are very boy friendly. All my friends with boys say that's what they did. I'm just too tired to do all that [emoji23]

Thankyou ladies.
So, will start BD tonight and then two night in a row. [emoji4][emoji4]
I might end up using the digi however that won't affect my plan. I still have the sample.
Kat - You should temp. I started from
my last cycle and it makes so much sense. I agree with Pbn. Do it now. [emoji4]
LMSM- Glad that dd is doing ok now. Waiting for ur temp tomorrow.
Ash - How are you doing?

Pbn: lmao. I think your cheerleading might distract them from this task lol. But once they are done, we can start cheering for the egg!

Kat: aww thank you. That made me feel much better about my chances. I know temping could be quite annoying and i am totally not morning person hahaa. but it is quite exciting that you could see temp dip and know O is coming soon

Kat we could absolutely work out o :) If you can't find a bbt that goes to .00 (two decimal) then just get the common one decimal one that is always in stock in chemists :)

Sky if you do use the digi and its not pos then please still start your 3 x pm bd's tonight. It would have been pos tomorrow I'm sure of it! I'm thinking (and hoping) we won't see a temp spike until Monday mornings temp :) which would give you the three attempts I listed earlier 😀

OMG sky I thought I couldn't posibly be more excited yet after seeing your post with pos digi eeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkk!!! Literally danced a jig!!! Now go mark that pos opk in your chart and hope the time passes fast to bd time! Your going to lay with elevated hips for an hour after bd right? Wont hurt to flip over a couple times initially either (so roll into tummy then stick your butt in the air 😂😂) that way those swimmers are definately going thru that drain hole (cervix 😂) and on their way to wait for that beautiful egg!!!

Busy around here getting packed for a whirlwind beach weekend. We live prob about 20 minutes from the beach, but we're headed to one about 2 hours away.
Got my attempt in tonight woohoo-so I may end up with an O-3 or O-2 attempt. We'll see if I can get a quickie in around family Sat or Sun lol.
Here's my test from this afternoon, not pos yet, mild cramps...

Don't get too excited though bc I'm sure a kid will wake me up early [emoji1361]
