Flava watch out for those smiley's cause i never got a smiley the day before O on O or even two days after O & im pregnant, so i dont believe in them anymore, just go by your instinct & know when you think your suppose to O.
I always get smileys but I also use a CB monitor and it's on low. Only Im out of tests so now I will not know when was peak day.

Hey Ladies I'm going to jump on the band wagon....Did a last minute O+12 attempt this cycle. I doubt it worked and we weren't planning on ttc this month but I think I just like to feel wreckless every once in awhile. :)
Sooooo, I am 11 dpo today and AF is due on Monday so we shall see....like I said, I doubt it worked. I jumped and dumped the 1st batch, douched with lime, dtd again and added lime solution and a lime tampon and went to bed. Probably killed off all of the sperm but like I said, I am a wreckless sex junky...with DH only of course. LOL
GL to all you gals!!!!

Flava, sometimes our bodies don't always do the same say in day out, look at me this cycle ovulated days sooner and went from low to peak when I would usually have had a high.

5, hope you get some answers tomorrow. They will probably do a blood test you know and most likely a Beta HCG if they do. I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday and he always does blood tests to see where my hormones are at. So I know he will add a preg test on as well :) I'll be 9dpo then as well so hopefully by then it will show up in blood.
5babies, good luck!

Ah lemon 2012 I forgot, there wasnīt a lot of girl swaying involved in my timing and frequency lol I guess thatīs why I got a bfp this time. I donīt believe in timing and wanted to get pregnant while still on the LE diet so we Bd on CD 10 and 13 and I OV-ed on CD 14. It has taken some months and at this point I just wanted to get pregnant knowing I did a lot (but not all I could have) different from when I conceived my sons and that was enough for me, embracing the idea of another boy too.
I see a lot of people having girls closer to o than a cut off. I am so confused and not show what to do! I just want to get pregnant but everytime I think about giving up and just dtd I panic and think it will be a boy. Then I would not feel good about my choice. I just feel a lot of pressure!
When you say it has taken a lot of months...what was your attempt plans before? Did you consider frequent bding?
My kids are 5 and 3....they would be so excited for a sibling!
What else did you do that was different from your first two kids?

I read somewhere (I don't remember now or I'd post the link!) that it can take a couple of days and it takes a couple of days after that for the pregnancy hormone to show up in your urine!

So when does implantation occur? Implantation happens approximately 7 to 10 days after conception.
How long does it take? There is no exact start and end time for this to happen. It is a process that takes anywhere from 1 to 3 days. During this time that embryo is slowly burrowing and planting itself in the blood-rich lining of your womb.

November 14th, 2011, 10:21 AM
Flava - How much b6 are you taking? My OB has me on 400mg because my LP has been 9-10 days and also if B6 doesn't work then I may never get prego because I can't take fertility drugs. He said that some people do good on 100mg and some may need 200mg but 300-400mg is best for LPs that are 10 days or less. But since you are already about to O it can also make you O right away (within 24hrs). But the good news is in most people it can help your LP after a day or so.

purple- Im not taking any B6 I stoped it because I O this late...I got a smiley finally this morning (also 1 last night 11:30 but I don't count that normally I would sleep that late and not test) but this opk strips are not + yet. Looks very close now at noon but not a +. Looks like the smiley detect the hormones better. So O is tomorrow or after that.finally...Im sick of this swaying.
My B6 is just 50 mg tablets. I will take it after O. Don't know how much would be good...I think atomic said to much is not good for us to take? But I also have 9-10-11 days LP. last month was 9 before that 10 and before 11.Looks like going down...

November 14th, 2011, 03:09 PM
I tested today and BFN for me as well. I am 9DPO and I guess I am not out yet but can't help feeling this month is not going to end with a baby!
With DS2, I got a BFN 3 days before AF was due then a BFP the day before so will try to hold out till Wednesday to test again!
I hate a short luteal phase, it just adds another layer of complication to swaying and making babies!

I think Atomic said 100mg so maybe you could try 50mg in the morning and again in the evening. I have seen most MD site say 300mg is ok but 100-200mg works for most people.

Sorry for the bfn's girls! But no AF yet so I still hope you guys can get a bfp.
I think I O'd last night or yesterday some time...no clue when and now I think we may did O+12 or some crap like that.
Just checked my cervix and and I don't feel it much different from yesterday maybe not so soft but that's it.But my temp is up this morning so I must have O'd right? So not sure why cervix did not changed much yet.
I made a post about it here (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?6380-swayers-over-35-buddy-group/page10) what do you guys think? (just don't want to write it everywhere)

I found a thing online before DS2 that said some women can start to see signs of Oing (high temps and high cervix) up to 24 hrs before they O... I noticed recently a few times when my cervix stayed high for about 20hrs. When it finally went down a lot of cm came out. (those were the mths I had prego symptoms but LP was short) I asked my midwife friend about it and she said that sometimes the body will "plug" it's self with cm or even cist to keep the egg in and force it to attach.
When I was 6wks along with DS1, before I knew about him, I had some really bad cramps and went to the Dr. They did an u/s and found a 6wk baby and 1 orange sized cist. They believed the pain was from the one cist popping and the other one getting ready to pop since they were no longer needed... I am not a drinker but I did have a some red wine before we DTD.

Flava focus on the blue stuff and ignore the girly signs.... your supps, diet, weight gain, all boy! I kept looking back at the things that would have affected the sway and it stressed me out. Relax and think blue thoughts! And take b6 so your LP will be long enough for it to stick.

I worry about even being able to get pregnant again because it is taking so long... Last night my hubby asked how much longer it is going to take because he wants a reason to sit on the couch and hold a NB while I cook and the boys run wild! I am so tempted to give up swaying and just get pregnant... that is my plan for March if nothing happens before that.

Hi all! I'm currently in the 2WW! I was only swaying boy for about 3 weeks when we decided to jump the gun. Just got too excited! :) Was following the FGD and taking supplements. Thinking about moving over to the HED, but still unsure. What supplements/drinks are ok for the 2WW? I want to keep swaying in case this one didn't take but want to be safe in case it did work! this is the list that I was using before:
1) prenatal
2) extra folic acid to equal 2000mg
3) potassium 99mg
4) gelatin
5) Vit D 1000mg
6) Royal Jelly
7) AKG 3 times a day
8) Fish oil

I've had ovulation spotting once... Have you ovulated recently? Or had a good romping night with your hubby;) Either of those could make you spot. Or it's implantation...

Im thinking if this is a bfn then I skip December and just do 1 last try in January. I really would love a October baby because that's our empty month with no birthday in it.
It would be good to have your youngest born under a virgo sign... the baby of the family tends to love spending money but a virgo loves to save!

One of my sisters was the baby for 10 years and the other is 15 and the baby... both of them spend money as soon as they get it. I tried to get one of them to watch her money because she make a lot doing hair but she spends most on clothing and forgets to pay her car, bills, college loan, and rent.
Studies done on family order says... first borns are great at their careers, middles tend to be quiet, and youngest tends to be spontanius (?spelling) and quick to spend on silly things.
But teaching all your kids while they are young about money, paying bills, and saving for something special will help them in adulthood. I learned by watching my silly mother. She spent her paycheck on the way home from the bank. We moved a lot, starved while she ate out, and now she lives in a camper in the middle of nowhere because she hasn't worked in 10 years and is to young for SS or her 10,000 a year military retirement.
At 5 my kid start to get chores and small amounts of money (.25 a day), they will learn to save the quaters for whatever. As they get older and get more chores they get more money. When they are teens they get the financial lectures and also the sex talk... example... give them a fake job with income. Give them a family (spouse and kid or two). Have them find a place to live, in the newspaper. They have to go to the stores and price furniture they need or feel they need (the stores make them focus and work harder then the internet). A car, college loans, or whatever you can think of. Make up surprise bills like "congrats you have a new baby". Make it seem real and even include them in your own income and bills. I already have a list of things for when my kids have to do this.
My IL's did this for my hubby when he was young and he counts every penny. We have no debt. We have credit cards but they are used just because we felt like it and then they are paid off right away.

Sorry for the bfn's girls! But no AF yet so I still hope you guys can get a bfp.
I think I O'd last night or yesterday some time...no clue when and now I think we may did O+12 or some crap like that.
Just checked my cervix and and I don't feel it much different from yesterday maybe not so soft but that's it.But my temp is up this morning so I must have O'd right? So not sure why cervix did not changed much yet.
I made a post about it here (http://genderdreaming.com/forum/showthread.php?6380-swayers-over-35-buddy-group/page10) what do you guys think? (just don't want to write it everywhere)

8dpo... and I know I am not prego! LOL but I did have an odd dream. My cat was peeing all over the house and I was following it with the carpet cleaner trying to clean it up before the boys stepped in it. I hate those kinds of dreams! I think I dreamt it because I have started cleaning the spots where my dog liked to lay. They were not bad but it has been 6wks since I cleaned the carpet last. Can't wait for Christmas because I get a new carpet cleaner, I like to clean fabric furniture and the carpet every 1-2mths so my 10 year old machine is falling apart.
I hope next month I can dream about my baby!

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not. The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself. The dream may be a metaphor for "cattiness" or someone who is "catty" and malicious.
To dream that a cat is biting you symbolizes the devouring female. Perhaps you are taking and taking without giving. You may be expressing some fear or frustration especially when something is not going as planned. If you dream that a cat is scratching you, then it suggests that you are feeling threatened.
To see urine in your dream represents the feelings you have rejected. Alternatively, the dream may be a pun on your "pissy" attitude.
To dream that you are cleaning implies that you are removing some negativity in your life and overcoming major obstacles. You are moving ahead toward a new stage in your life. In particular, if you are cleaning your house, then it means that you need to clear out your thoughts and get rid of your old ways and habits. You are seeking self-improvement.�Alternatively, the dream may be a metaphor that you need to "come clean" or tell the whole truth about some situation or matter.

I think you read to much into dreams... so do I. Trust me I ran straight for my books and notes and dream journal. And if you look at the members area you will see that I know a lot about dreams. I know when my are real or just from stress.
But then again I have be cleaning carpets recently because... before my dog passed she has a lot of accidents. I did spot cleaning but I finally had the heart to clean everything including the spots where my dog would rest while watching the kids play.

Hi girls,
I am now super confused.... I am 14 DPO and still no AF! AF was due 2/3 days ago and I keep getting negative HPTs and I just don't know what to think.... I have no idea when my tests went positive with DS1 as he was a surprise so didn't test till I was about a week late and the test with DS2 showed positive the day before I was due.
I have never been late my whole life unless I am pregnant and I do have backache and cramping. I keep thinking every time I go to the loo that AF will have showed up but she hasn't. I have had a bit of brown discharge (sorry tmi) but that is it.
Any ideas????? xx

Hi maybeoneday, I agree with love being a mummy to book yourself in for a blood test and or poas in 2-3 days time. Do you have any other symptoms? I had low hcg levels with my first son and I went straight for a blood test with my second. I just found out I'm pregnant I poas at 17 dpo (my first test) I was too paranoid to check sooner. I was surprised but not as excited as I thought. I think I'm too nervous. Good luck we need more people on the due board and good luck to everyone else trying and congratulations to the BFP's I missed.

maybeoneday - grr, how annoying for you! As you know in the UK we can't just book ourselves in for a blood test (no doubt your doctor would just say wait and test again in a few days at this point!) so unfortunately it's a waiting game. What tests are you using? I've heard good things about the Superdrug own brand tests.
happyheart
November 19th, 2011, 11:00 AM
WTH? :(
Hi ladies.... I have been using the cheapie tests and a couple of FRER tests to see if the line is getting darker and yes it is. I have been getting a line since 9 dpo (very very faint).. but it has continued to get darker. So I thought today I would take a digital test as a treat that my twin sister gave me. Guess what!! It said NO... :( I am 13 dpo. I immediately took a cheapie and it looks positive...
I opened the test to look at the lines inside. Both lines are super dark. However I read online that you can not read a digital test with your eyes???
What to do? A blood test would cost us $250.00.... Am I pregnant or not?! :(
eta: waiting probably is the best bet and try again... but ... OY... that seems not so fun right now.
Oh and on a side note, my twin sister finds out the gender of her baby today! She has three boys.

Thanks for your replies girls, as Zan says, we can't book ourselves in for blood tests here, they will make me wait at least another week before they even contemplate that!!
I have been using the superdrug tests so am pretty sure I am not pregnant, but I just want AF to hurry up and show so I can start planning next month! The only explanation I can come up with is that I didn't ovulate when I thought I did. I had a nasty filthy cold last month and am starting to think the :) I got was a fake one and if I'd have carried on testing, there may have been another :) when I really ovulated a couple of days later.
Will keep you posted and thanks again!
HH, sorry for the confusion, hope all sorts itself out soon. Try not to worry about the digital test, they are definately not as sensitive as some.. FX for you.

I opened the test to look at the lines inside. Both lines are super dark. However I read online that you can not read a digital test with your eyes???
What to do? A blood test would cost us $250.00.... Am I pregnant or not?! :(
eta: waiting probably is the best bet and try again... but ... OY... that seems not so fun right now.
Oh and on a side note, my twin sister finds out the gender of her baby today! She has three boys.
A line is a line :) Can you post a pic of your tests.
:HH: Thank you Yuzu, Indira, and DM!!! :)
Yuzu, we just got back from town.. we live way out in the country ... and your words went through my head while we were out shopping! Thank you for the encouraging words!! FX for you!!!
You crack me up DM!! But you are sooo right! I will stop testing!!! :) :)
:HH: thank you Indira! :) :)
Well... I only got to talk to my sister for a second, but she is having another boy!! Four boys for her! Right now she is just feeling relief that he is healthy. :) :)
Congrats to your sister on her healthy baby boy.

Thank you girls for my well wishes. Wishing the same for all of you.
Happyheart you are so pregnant. I didn't even bother with the digital test. I just used the first response pink lines one. (it was pink) digital was blue and I wasn't touching that one.Congratulations on a healthy baby for your sister!

Just wanted to let everyone know... AF is due on the 23rd, woohoo can't wait. I will be away tomorrow evening until sunday but I will try to check postings today and tomorrow but not sure about timing. I have to finish cleaning the carpets and after my old one breaking and having to run out and get a new one I am back to cleaning. I love the smell of clean carpet in the morning.
I will see some of you in the Dec 2ww but the rest of you better get a bfp ;)

Hi all, I know I'm not around here much and just check in here and there but I wanted to let you know that I got a BFP yesterday at 11dpo. It seemed pretty light on all the tests and since I had a previous early miscarriage, I went in for a beta to check the hcg as well as progesterone levels. I should get the results today before noon sometime. I'm nervous but trying to remain optimistic that this one will stick!

Hey ladies - just dropping by to say I hope I can join you in here again before too long. I started a FF chart but don't really have much to put on it since I have no idea how or when my cycle will come back after my m/c. I think I'm going to start temping tomorrow since I've heard of some women getting their O as soon as 2 weeks after a m/c (which would be next Monday) and I don't want to miss it. My HPTs are still positive, though, so I doubt I'll be one of those women with a quick comeback after m/c.
Congrats to everyone who's had a BFP recently, and sorry for all those who af found. I hope we'll all get our BFPs soon - wouldn't it be a nice early Christmas present?

Mocha- I've got my fingers crossed for you to ovulate quickly!
FLMom-at least you'll be able to enjoy the wedding food without feeling nauseated. That's definitely a plus!
DoulaMama-the opks you sent me helped more than you could know!
Flava-I'm sorry this seems like the end. I wish you peace with your decision. I'm in a similar situation, and will only be trying a little while longer. Sigh.

I know you was size 0 (that's was my normal size ) or 1 before this size FH what Im now) so I want to ask you please tell me how you did it lol because now I need to loose lot's of weight...like 40 lbs ...:sad: because I put on around 30 but was already over weight so yeah awesome...:thumbsdown:
Mochagirl
November 26th, 2011, 09:44 AM
Flava - the Low Everything diet was what made the weight melt off me. I lost 20 lbs in less than 2 months on the diet! (of course I gained 13 of that back in the 3 months I was pregnant...)
Flava
November 26th, 2011, 11:00 AM
Oh I have no clue about the LE diet.
Mochagirl
November 26th, 2011, 01:17 PM
It's just pretty much the opposite of the boy diet - low nutrient, low protein, low calorie, low sodium.
Max 40g protein per day
Max 700-100mg of sodium per day
1500-1800 calories per day
Eat simple carbs (white rice, regular pasta, etc) over complex carbs.
I'm sure you could modify it to make it a bit healthier and less bland and still lose the weight - the calorie restrictions are likely the biggest factor.
Flava
November 27th, 2011, 11:17 AM
I don't know how to count calories and don't really want to do it lol but af is here so on the diet now. Need to loose a lot...
good luck to all with that bfp!!!

Well I saw a new baby boy in the store yesterday and almost cried...It's very sad I will never have one...but can't keep up trying forever...Im 37 here...must move on at one point...
I wish we have a weight loss thread here so I can hang out and also have friends to loose weight together...
I stay for a while want to see all the cute baby. (if I can..hope I don't get to sad seeing all the new babys...)

Awww Flava I'm just popping in and trying to catch up; sorry to hear of the BFN and the sadness attached to no longer TTC. I know you'll enjoy your girls and I'm so glad you have them! Maybe you could start a weight loss support thread? Even if there aren't a bunch of moms right NOW looking to lose, there are so many due to give birth in the next 2-3 months that I bet you'll get a crowd on there in no time!

I'm here in the lovely 2WW...I am 2 dpo today and I can't believe we actually did it! Our boys were opps so this planning thing is killing me...hahah! I was so blissfully oblivious with my sons!
can't wait until next weds when I'll be 10 dpo and I'll start testing then....I've never tested early before so I have no idea how quickly my body produces hcg to test...my first son I was in complete denial about and didn't test until AF was two weeks late....(I didn't remember us even having sex that month, hah!) the second son I tested a few days late, and was also in denial (hubby pulled out, there's no sperm in that, right?)
So, anyhoo, this is a weird feeling for me, to be waiting to see if AF is gonna show in less than two weeks....
I need to find a new activity to make the time go by faster :)

So I O'd at around 5am this morning (the trigger injection gives you an exact O time give or take a few hours). We DTD last night at 11.30pm and the night before at the same time. So, I am saying I had an O-1 and O attempt. I'm going by hours not the actual day I O'd, does that make sense?
Can't test til at least 10dpo otherwise I might get a false positive due to the hcg from the trigger!

Just had a small blob of CM it's like thick EW not watery, but a bit stretchy and sort of clear.
Had an idea to test the PH of it, cause Dh's sperm is usually 8-9.
The PH was 5 :( I know alot of people have had PH opposites but I was really putting in alot of effort to get my PH up cause I thought thats one thing that could help me.
If I am Oing today would it be too late to drink ural?
I have had an ok day on the diet, I had brekkie straight away and then a bowl of cereal 2hrs later but then I got stuck into the housework and forgot to eat and was starving by 2pm so had 9 seed bread with tomato. 3.30pm had some peanuts then had steak and salad for dinner.

November 30th, 2011, 06:10 AM
If you have any urals, it won't hurt to take them. IAH, I am not that worried about pH anymore. So much so that I don't even test anymore lol and I was obsessed with pH earlier in the year!!

Hi.. Do you mind telling me what a trigger injection is. Thanks.

November 30th, 2011, 07:03 PM
Hi.. Do you mind telling me what a trigger injection is. Thanks.
A trigger injection contains hcg which helps mature the follicle/s and then release the egg. I am doing ovulation induction with Clomid as my O is very irregular. The trigger just ensures that the egg is actually released.
