Thanks, Pbn for starting a new thread!!

You are right - I think we should just do what we did last time and have him release 12-14 hours before our attempt, on the day I get a solid smiley. We know it's possible for us to get pregnant doing that and we know he can "manage" two releases in that time span, so we'll just stick with that. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday will be the day!!

But OMG I am NOT feeling well right now. I honestly can't tell whether I have a stomach bug or am just having a bad IBS flare - it could honestly be either at this point. I've had a few loose stools today, my tummy hearts, I just feel terrible. I hope it doesn't affect ovulation or chances to conceive :( When we got pregnant in August I think I had a sinus infection at at the time... what's up with me getting all this stuff at the time of my attempt? Honestly though - I think it's more likely that it's an IBS thing. My whole digestive/bowel system gets thrown out of wack very easily and with recent stress, strict dieting the past 2 weeks, adding in more fiber - I think it's likely that. How that might affect my sway I don't know!!!

[Pbn3]

Abc I've only heard of illness swaying pink. Thank god for one attempt [emoji6] hope you are feeling better soon though.

ABC my one experience doesn't mean a lot, but I was sick when we conceived my second son. I felt awful but I still ovulated, so you should be okay.

had a temp dip today. Interesting bc I am taking progesterone and that's raised my temps so far and I drank a bit last night. Usually that raises bbt too. Trying not to look to hard into tgat... but I am praying this is my month bc I've eaten so much Halloween candy. Lol
It's November... which means it's my miscarried daughter's due date month. I NEED this to be my month.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171101/acd046fb17c7fa21aff849b97b80490d.jpg

Hi everyone, hoping I can join in here! Just officially tried our first month and I’m sitting at 3-4dpo!

I’m so excited and anxious about the whole thing! We are swaying pink and since I am a type one diabetic - it’s been hard to keep the blood sugars low so I’m definitely anxious about that, but I took Clomid and have been doing the alternative PCOS LE so fingers crossed we have done as much as we can [emoji28]

I hope it’s okay to join and I look forward to meeting you all!


Robin I really hope this is your month, the due date is definitely one of the hard dates [emoji17] fingers crossed for a sticky bfp!

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI took hcg trigger shot so I usually test every day after it to make sure it leaves my system.. then hope it comes back. This is my 3rd month taking it and I've been very laid back about it. I've found sometimes frers give me bfp (14dpo) the day I go for beta testing and have that come up negitive? So weird. I've learned not to trust the tests with the trigger shot...
Anyway long story short haha
I've been testing since yesterday. It's still in my system today. Thought it was fine from yesterday but I guess not!
Last pregnancy I got a bfn from trigger on 7dpo and 8dpo was a bfp on a wondfo!

[Greydore]

Welcome J-ellybean! When do you plan to start testing??

Robin that has to be so tough, I'm sorry. Fx for you this month!

I am FINALLY spotting today! I haven't been this happy to have my period since I was teenager [emoji6] we definitely missed my fertile window because I assumed I ovulated when I didn't, so I'm going to use opk's this time.

Good luck to everyone!!

Robin - could it possibly be an implantation dip? Looks like your 6 dpo - maybe a little early but possible? Or maybe just one of those erratic temps. I've had a few of those lately.

Welcome J-ellybean!! I'm 3-4 dpo as well!!!! FX for you! Sounds like you have had a great sway so far w/ PCOS LE and Clomid!

Hey greydore! :) when are you due to ovulate roughly? I have 31 day cycles I should be ovulating around the 19th

*sigh* seems forever away!!

[Greydore]

Right around CD 19 as well, if I have a long cycle again. Mine are usually 31 days also, but this month was 35! I'm hoping it will go back to normal this month.

I join to you girls:)girlswaylondon and greydore my cycle in september was 30 and in october 34 days. So i guess this month my ovulation will be cd21 around 20 november, long time:(

Fingers crossed for us all! Our babies would be VERY close in age haha!

Wow, you ladies have long cycles!! Mine are 24 days. I had one within the last year that was 21!!! It's definitely beneficial when ttc bc I get more chances to conceive, but it's a pain the rest of my life bc I feel like I'm always on my period!! :)

Since changing diet and eating less, my cycles have been shorter. I also had a random 21 and then a random 32. I average 27 most of the time. Hoping this is the month! All the testing and opks and diet make time go so slow ha. It was a sad week since this would have been the week we would have announced the pregnancy if I hadn't have miscarried in aug. Boo.

[Greydore]

Maybe I need to do better on the diet. I'm still getting my period in the mornings too.


[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016

[Girlswaylondon]

Mine used to come in the morning for as long as I can remember but since the diet they've been coming afternoon, I'm not sure it means much though!

[J-ellybean]

My cycles usually range from 25 - 27 days but this month I have Clomid so I have no idea how it’s all going to go [emoji28]

does anyone else symptom spot? Anyone close to testing? I’m so excited to start seeing some bfp’s!! Fingers and toes crossed for everyone!

[mummy2boys]

Hi ladies, I've not been on for a while, my little boy has had pneumonia and has been in hospital for over a week. They have just discharged us and we are home. He's still poorly but managing without extra oxygen which is a big improvement.
I haven't had chance to read all through the posts so not sure what I've missed? Hello to all the new ladies.
I haven't been temping or doing opks whilst in hospital and thought we'd have to wait till next cycle but we managed to bd last night after we got home. No idea when/if I've ovulated but temp was still low this morning.
Mommy, just sending massive congrats to you, I'm so pleased you got your bfp [emoji3]

Mummy so sorry to hear that your little guy has been sick!!! Hope he's back to 100% soon!!!!! What an awful thing to have to go through.

Cc - welcome! FX for you!

Pbn - I KNOW right?! I feel that way too and my cycles are even super short! :) Feel like I'm never going to be pregnant and able to move past this swaying stuff!! I got cross hairs today on FF and it said I O'd on Sunday! :( Boo!! It was dotted lines though so I guess that means it's not confident about that date - which is good as neither are we! Really hope it happened on Saturday and that the Thursday attempt still had something left. Sigh. Still so many days before I can test!

So, if not pregnant this cycle, I realized the next time I'm going to ovulate is right around American Thanksgiving!!!! Are you kidding me!??! That means I'm going to have to be more careful about what I eat that day - I would be anyways if still on LE but I certainly don't want to have a big cheat day on the exact day or close to the day that the egg drops!!!! AHHHH that is going to suck!!! And I also found out today that DH may be gone in early January around the time I will ovulate (not completely sure about that since I'm only on cycle #1 of Clomid and I don't know how it may change my cycle lengths), so basically, if not pregnant this cycle, we have two cycles to get pregnant before we'd have to skip a cycle!! I don't want to have to skip a whole cycle in January b/c he's gone! So PRESSURE IS ON!!! Ha ha!

[ABC.2606]

Mommy - glad to here she's doing ok. Send her hugs for me!!

[Mommy2apples]

I will abc! Praying you caught your egg this cycle!!

Thanks ladies, he is much better now but it was absolutely terrifying watching him struggling to breathe. He just needs lots of rest now as it's really took it out of him.
Aw thanks for keeping checking in on my chart pbn! It's a bit useless this month, I've guessed most of the temps until this morning when I got out of hospital. And I've also just realised the batteries are going on my thermometer so who knows what my temp is!! I feel like ovulated yesterday, had o pains and lots of ewcm but did an opk and it was negative so I will just have to wait and see.
ABC fx for you this cycle! Hope the wait goes quickly for you.

I can't tell which way mine are going to go. My oldest is super possessive of his stuff, so he flips out when younger one goes for his toys. But he's also very protective of his little brother and they do play well together. I'm hoping they'll get along as they get older.

Hey ladies!

Cycle 2 and CD9 for me today and I think I'm gonna start OPK testing today. Apparently didn't ovulate until CD22 for cycle 1, but now I've done a full cycle since my coil I'm hoping for earlier (I'm fairly sure that in my pre-BC days my cycle was almost bang on 28 days).

Fingers crossed for a normal cycle this month instead of the crazy chart I ended up with last month!

Hope everyone else is doing well here! Can't wait to see some November BFPs rolling in xxx

Good luck plastic!

Cycle day 2 for me, it's gonna drag!

Mine are 31 days and I always ovuLate day 19-21, I start testing around day 16

[Pbn3]

Greydore I'd start opks at cd12. You don't want to be caught out if your body decides to ovulate earlier than usual. Remind me again what opks are you using?

Abc how are you feeling!!?? Cant believe you're at testing time finally! Cant wait for the next couple days temps and tests!!! Are you using wondfo hpts?

Mummy2boys are those last 4 temps true temps? If so, it looks like you got super lucky with that attempt [emoji3] obviously was meant to be [emoji6] cant wait to see how your chart looks over the next week!

BBB either 1 or 2dpo [emoji3][emoji3] and amazing attempts in again! Just need that one little swimmer to have penetrated the egg fx fx fx!!! I'll be hoping with everything that this cycle will surprise you and be your bfp [emoji173]

Plasticserenity how are the opks looking? Any progression? Do you keep them to watch the line come in? Post a pic if so! Are your cycles usually as long as last one?
Do you temp vaginally?

Mtolbert it's wonderful to see you in the thread again [emoji173] bring on that rainbow bfp this cycle!! Did your thermometer arrive?

Sounds good greydore! Did you get a proper pos last time? I see it marked in your chart as pos but wa the test line as dark as or darker than control? Don't have a pic by any chance?

[Greydore]

Like with my last pregnancy? I got positives two days in a row that time around.


[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016

[Pbn3]

No sorry I meant last cycle but I've just renembered that you put it in there to get ff to allocate o day so never mind lol. Just hoping you get a proper positive as I'm unfamiliar with the opks you have and some people's close to but not quite positive is actually their positive. Makes it harder to do one attempt at pos opk if you're unsure whether these opks give you a proper positive or not. Might be worthwhile getting a brand name back up to test with as well once your walmart opk is getting close? Keep the urine sample until after you check the test in case you need to dip another.

Thank you babybeau! I'm doing well! Today im on CD 6, so just patiently waiting for ovulation!

Pbn- I so hope it's this month!!! And it arrived! I will start temping tomorrow morning. My sister had her baby boy early this morning so temping didn't even cross my mind! Lol.

Mtolbert SO good to see you on here again!! Glad you are doing well, are calm, and in a great place!!! And your nephew is adorable! Big congrats to the whole fam!

Pbn - yes I broke down and tested this morning - at 7/8 dpo :( And with a FRER. And of course BFN. Sigh. Then tonight I went totally *off the wagon* diet wise! Didn't eat much dinner but then had two after dinner snacks of total junk! Candy, chips, brownie bite. I feel super gross and super guilty. I know at this point if I'm pregnant baby is either going to implant or not implant and if I'm not pregnant one bad day wont hurt anything but I still feel guilty. I hate "swaying guilt" - I'm so over it!!! I've just been really hungry and grumpy and tired the past week - for no good reason - and indulged in junk :(

I've felt super flushed & had a higher than normal daytime/evening temperature the past few days. Any chance that means anything? I mean I'm guessing it's just related to increased post-O progesterone, which could just be higher than normal this cycle (maybe from the Clomid?), but could it mean anything more?

Greydore my test line is never as dark as the control line on the cheapie OPKs... Drove me crazy so I switched to digital. Seems like that's pretty common, but it does make reading them more difficult.

[J-ellybean]

Hey everyone!
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated, but I have been reading!

Pbn3 - I’ve been testing like an absolute idiot even though I’m only 7dpo/8dpo today. I’ve forced myself to stop because all bfn and I get sad lol even though I am aware it’s too early anyway [emoji23] earliest I have ever seen the slightest bfp was 9dpo so I’m just being silly.

Greydore - I’ve not ever had a positive test on any of the cheapie OPKs even though I’ve been blessed enough to have 3 babes. It gets slightly dark but not once has it been darker than the control.

Oh mtolbert1 - he is the sweetest little nugget [emoji7][emoji7] I love the swollen chucky newborns!! How beautiful, is your sister doing well?

How are you feeling now mummy2boys?

Abc2606 - I’m sitting right on the same dpo as you and keep testing EVEN though I know it’s kind of pointless at this stage [emoji23] the things we do [emoji19] but my fingers and toes are crossed that it was just too early!
And about being off the wagon - apparently cheating is okay and encouraged every now and again, just chalk it up as a bad night and start again tomorrow [emoji8]


Does anyone know if Clomid can cause some pregnancy like symptoms in the tww? I have driven myself crazy because I literally feel pregnant. Sore bbs, nausea, headaches, I am so tired I have been in bed by 9pm which isn’t like me at all!! And I just feel weird. Googling didn’t help much but hopefully you guys have some insight for me [emoji8]

Hi everyone!
Mtolbert your nephew is so adorable!! [emoji7]
ABC and j-elly, I would also cave and test that early, can't help myself. Hoping for bfps in a few days time for you both.
Hi Pbn, my temps aren't reliable atall unfortunately. I'm still sick with a high temp and I have been keeping the fever away with paracetamol so I'm still no wiser. It will be a long wait I think!

[plasticserenity]

Plasticserenity how are the opks looking? Any progression? Do you keep them to watch the line come in? Post a pic if so! Are your cycles usually as long as last one?
Do you temp vaginally?


Sorry for the slow response, had a busy bonfire night weekend here! Making the most of still being able to drink before I get a BFP :)

CD 12 today and OPKs still negative as of yesterday. I keep an eye on them for around 10 mins, and the instructions say to disregard them after that time. But I have noticed if I go back to them a few hours later they are a bit darker, I guess that doesn't mean anything?

Gonna be trickier to test Mon to Thurs due to my work hours... I might have to figure out a way to test in the loo at work. But I drink that much coffee to keep me going through the day that I find it tough to hold for more than an hour or two in the afternoons, now I'm wondering if that's why I only saw negatives last cycle?

I temp orally. It's seemed a little steadier this month (have had a bit of a dip around CD5 but might be related to AF finishing? Is that a thing?). My timings have definitely been better and so has my sleep pattern so I think that helps.

I'm really hoping that this is a shorter cycle - last month was my first cycle temping and tracking and also my first cycle off BC so it was probably a bit wacky, but I guess I won't find out what's normal for me for a couple of months!

My Ovulation Chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6a5a33/)

DP has revealed that he might be away Friday night, which will be CD16... who wants to bet that my positive OPK appears on that day!

[Ammue]

He is super gorgeous and cute!! :awe: :awe: :awe:

[Greydore]

Mtolbert what a sweet baby! Congrats to your family!

ABC I got a stark white BFN with a frer at 8 dpo with my second son. I don't think I even implanted til 8 dpo, so no way I would've gotten a positive.

Last cycle I had tons of symptoms, even the tingly boobs that so many say were early symptoms of pregnancy. And I definitely wasn't pregnant. All that progesterone can really play tricks on you.

Thanks for all of you ladies' info on OPKs...looks like I might need to break down and buy an expensive digital :/

[Throwaway_panther]

I wasn't going to post, but I'm going crazy. So despite saying, "We're taking a cycle off to regroup, and will see what the cheap IVF place in NY says after two REs said we have unexplained RPL and need IVF with PGS," here I am tentatively pregnant again.

Here are my 8DPO and 9DPO progressions.
https://i.imgur.com/nHse6YE.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kV4djOC.jpg

Issue is that I'm getting borderline BFNs in the morning -- the 9DPO one was at 2 p.m. yesterday when my 9DPO FMU was barely there. This morning was barely there too so I'm going to test later. Any experiences with BFNs with first morning urine?

Other variables here: My progesterone was only 8.3 at 6DPO. I did start taking my leftover progesterone supplements at 8DPO but I'm worried it was too late, even though my RE sort of views prog like atomic -- that it's an effect, not a cause.

I also had either a huge dip below coverline today or a slight +.1 climb -- two temps taken seconds away from each other. Any insight?

[XXforhubby]

TP- I think this is what happened to me with my DS2. Looking back on it, I had such faint or barely there lines with FMU up until 21dpo. At that point, all of my tests were dark.

I’m hoping that this is your sticky bean 🤞🏻[emoji1317]!

Good morning ladies,

I hope it is ok if i join you. I'm in the waiting window. We are trying for a girl (or 2). We didn't do a ton of swaying because it was kind of a quick turn around. I just had my tubal ligation reversal on 10/3/2017, and we had to wait about a month to heal, so November is our very first attempt. I was good about my folic acid, but no prenatal vitamins. I know there weren't a lot of positive results on here, but we tried the soy isoflavens as natural clomid anyway. Just after surgery I didn't want to do much more than that because I didn't want anything to hinder my healing. Then, as luck would have it, I got sick just before our one attempt so I know I wasn't in best condition. I heard sub-optimal conditions sway pink, so here's hoping the flu was good for something.

Here's the interesting thing, and I'm trying not to obsess over it too much, but I don't usually feel when I ovulate. Maybe a little on the left, but not typically. The evening I got my positive OPK, I could feel something happening on both sides. I was in noticeable pain on both sides for several hours that night and again the following morning. Now I am 2.5 dpo and I woke up nauseous. It should be way to early to feel any of that, right? There's no way I implanted that fast so I'm not going to waste time on a HPT now, but I feel out of sorts. Anyone else feeling super early symptoms?

Good luck to all of you. Sending you lots of baby dust. :fx:

I am under a pretty firm impression that some people are more sensitive to hormones than others. I had nausea and aversions with my DD within days, felt her implant. There IS a hormone called EPF, early pregnancy factor, that begins producing immediately after conception. I have a feeing some women detect this, hence the potential early symptoms.

2.5 days is definitely too eary for implantation though. Fingers crossed for you!

Also ty XX ♡ I'm almost mad at myself for doing this to myself again...

[plasticserenity]

Oh goodness ladies, I've just had my first ever positive opk! Not even any doubt! And also had a nice big dose of EWCM earlier today! So pleased to have such clear signs :D

Now the big question - we're swaying pink and last DTD on Saturday (today is Monday). Do you reckon we're in with a good chance of BFP if we do Sat/Tues? Part of me wants to DTD again tonight to increase BFP chances but I know that's not pink friendly. Just worried Saturday is too far out? Any advice ladies?

TP I have no advice for you but I definitely wish you the best of luck xx

Sorry to hear you're out Robin, hopefully next cycle will be the one xx

[Greydore]

I've read every study I can get my hands on about early pregnancy factor, and I think people have gotten way carried away with it. Basically EPF is an immunosuppressant that the newly fertilized egg emits so the body doesn't reject it. There's no evidence that EPF causes symptoms in any way. I'm not discounting anyone's symptoms, but I think we've all had cycles where we were sure that every twinge was pregnancy related. I even had round ligament pain this last cycle, which I only have had while pregnant!

Hi ladies! I'll be back later this morning to catch up properly when I have more time but just quickly wanted to say TP I really hope this is it. Maybe try testing this evening again?

Plasticserenity I definitely wouldn't attempt tonight if you're still wanting to sway pink. Your Saturday attempt may still have some chance and a 3-o and day of o attempts (if you bd Tuesday) will be far more pink friendly than a 3-o and 1-o.

Thank you. I'm going to, then give it until tomorrow before going off the progesterone. Midday tests were extremely faint, so this already looks like it will be another chemical.

[LMSM]

Just a quick note for TP – I’m sorry this rollercoaster keeps doing this to you – I am keeping my FX this could be it nevertheless!
If not, I hope the REs will have a solution to help maintain a pregnancy to term. The cells do meet and fertilise, every single cycle it seems, so there is bound to be something they can do to get the embryo make it to the further stages and stay strong :hugs:

Loads of baby dust to you all, whether you are in the TWW or at the beginning of your cycles!

Welcome, BZMallory!!

Aww thanks BBB!!! I got another BFN today and my temp is still down a bit - I have a strongly feeling today that this isn't our cycle. We'll see - I know it's still early. Your temp is rising really well!! How are you feeling about this cycle?

So sorry Robin. Huge hugs. It's not at all fair what you've had to go through!

[Babybeaublue]

Bluedreaming have you tried Amazon? I'm in the UK but the clear blue are much cheaper on there and they usually come in a day or two.

ABC I'm up and down with how I feel this time. Positive one minute then back to its not gonna happen the next. I don't know. I feel a bit like it's routine now, the whole sway thing has become so normal to me I don't even feel like I'm ttc anymore! I'd love to get that bfp by Christmas tho. I was due Christmas day with my loss before I had dd5 and it would be nice to have a break from certain things over the holidays.

[Throwaway_panther]

Tests are still hanging in there but still faint. Called to get a beta and progesterone check but still feeiling no hope. 11DPO today (my LP is normally 11/12 days)

[plasticserenity]

Big hugs TP, hoping for the best xxx

[ABC.2606]

Tp I am so sorry [emoji17][emoji17] if it helps at all I think I got a bfp yesterday afternoon only for it to disappear this morning - so did some googling and it seems that afternoon urine held for a few hours is actually very strong in hcg for some women, I’m going to retest this afternoon also to test this theory.

How many dpo is everyone now? When is everyone testing?

I’ve had what I thought was a bfp but disappeared this morning using fmu so I don’t know what to think. I had a feeling I was pregnant from 2dpo but I also felt like it could be the Clomid. And then I had a stitch in both sides of my stomach at 7dpo and I don’t know if it was just me concentrating on it or not but ugh guess time will tell lol

Hi lovely ladies. Im new to the waiting forum.....
I’m currently in the 2 week wait - damn waiting is killing me. FF is telling me to test on the 23rd!!! Ages away. Iv had weird cycles for ages so took a bit for me to sort my ovulation etc out. Still not sure I have. This is our first proper month of trying. We have a 15m old son. TTC girl , but tbh would be stoked to just be pregnant and happy with another boy!!! This is my chart this month. I really hope I did O and I timed dtd ok....
I def don’t think my period will come on the 12th more like the 16th.

[Girlswaylondon]

Is anyone who is ttc a girl doing every 4 day method? I'm not sure when to change to e4d after one attempt!

[Pbn3]

Girlswaylondon e4d is simply bding e4d from af finish all the way through your cycle or at least well after o confirmed by temps (so you'd be e4d once or twice more after sustained rise). My understanding of e4d is 3 full days between bd's. So example, you'd dtd say cd7, cd11, cd15, cd19, cd23 etc The idea is you skip the the opks and end up with one attempt in your fertile window.

I've had 2 days of +ve OPKs and still no temp rise, really hoping to see it tomorrow. I've been really crampy today so possibly that means O, just not sure? Even had a bit of stabbing pain in my right hand side. We BD last night so would be happy with timing if O would show up soon...

Keeping up with this thread and all of your updates, crossing my fingers for all of you ladies! xx

[ABC.2606]

Well I'm 10/11 dpo, BFN this morning, huge temp drop this morning as well. I suppose at 10/11 dpo it still could be implantation dip but I'm not optimistic. Waiting to see if AF comes in the next day or two (I have a 10 day LP normally but I was on 1st cycle of Clomid this cycle, so we'll see).

Plasticserenity - I have the same thing every cycle - I get a positive OPK and then it takes 2-4 days to see a temp rise. It's SOOOO annoying and I don't know what's going on other than I think it's just how my body operates. Sounds like you're good though as far as getting an attempt in so hopefully it'll rise soon!

TP please update us on your bw!!!

mwilson yay fx!! Waiting is terrible!!

J-ellybean any updates from your tests?

Girlswaylondon - I think I'm going to do e4d next cycle starting at +opk, given that it just takes my body awhile after +opk to see a temp rise and it makes timing the 1 attempt at +opk more difficult. I think e4d can be 3 full days in between like Pbn said, but I think Atomic also considers 2 full days in between as e4d as well (so like BD on a Monday and Thursday) if you want to up the chances of conceiving a bit more (although a little less pink friendly). I'm thinking I will probably do my e4d attempts 60-72 hours apart (that's what I did this cycle actually). As far as when to switch to e4d, I think it's just a matter of how much you want to get pregnant quickly. I forget, are you on Clomid? With Clomid it's important to get pregnant sooner rather than later as it's not good to be on that medication for a long time.

How long have you been doing the one attempt, abc? I'm considering it too.

No clomid for me just the pcos le diet! :)

[ABC.2606]

Girlsway - I did one attempt in July - didn't get pregnant... Two attempts in August, but the 1st one was O-4 so likely not viable, but I did pregnant that cycle and unfortunately miscarried. Then took two cycles off after m/c to get some tests done, etc., and this was our first cycle trying again after all that. Intended to do 1 attempt but after delay in temp rise we added in another (about 60 hours after 1st attempt). So I haven't really been doing 1 attempt, but after almost 8 months of swaying, a few months of trying, a miscarriage, fertility testing, and now being put on Clomid, I'm really ready to be pregnant :) If I didn't have such a delay in my temp rise I'd probably stick with 1 attempt at +OPK, but it's just so hard to time since I don't seem to ovulate in the normal 12-36 hours time frame after first +opk.

This is my test from afternoon urine and I can definitely see something on it. I was doing the e4d method for the first month of Clomid but I guess it worked out. I’m cautiously excited though since it’s still another 5 days until my period is even due!

[ABC.2606]

J-ellybean - I see it too!!!!!! Yaaaaay!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!

I didn't think about Clomid throwing things off... Looked back at my chart from my pregnancy in August (was not on Clomid then though) and I had a temp drop almost exactly like the one today at 9 dpo. So I guess it is possible. But - I just read something on the internet (dumb me!) about late implantation (more than 9 dpo) and way higher m/c risks... I'm like 10/11 dpo today... so now I'm kind of freaking out about that. And that Aug pregnancy w/ a 9 dpo temp drop also ended in m/c. :( I hate this process.

[Babybeaublue]

ABC stop googling!!! I had a temp drop at 9dpo with dd5 not sure about the rest x

HCG draw came back negative. I'm still popping faint BFPs (not even as squinty as last cycle) anytime I test. I guess they're just picking up an HCG of 4 or something?

I still had hope. What a fucking fool.

Funny you should say that, I was wondering the exact same thing :) I certainly FELT more like I ovulated on CD14 than CD12 but I'm no expert! Either way, it looks like I got a viable attempt in so I will see what it says in a couple of days. Mostly I'm just happy that I can actually tell that I ovulated this month! Feels worlds apart from last month where I was all over the place!

Thanks BBB. I'm pretty disappointed but I also just really felt that this wasn't our cycle. I really think I was TOO depleted - not eating enough (even under LE standards), had that stomach thing going on, was too stressed out about ttc, and I just don't know that we really got the timing right w/ our attempts. So I'm trying to be more hopeful about this cycle. Going to take better care of myself & probably going to decrease the time between our attempts. Plus it will be cycle #2 of Clomid so hopefully that will add a little more to my girl sway (having it in my system for longer).

Does Clomid cause lighter AFs? So, I'm definitely bleeding and saw some real "period blood" this morning, but so far it's a LOT lighter than normal. Usually I start AF overnight and wake up w/ quite a bit of blood, but this morning when I first wiped there was nothing and then 20 minutes later a light light flow started and it's just very slowly increasing but still very light. I know Clomid can thin the uterus lining and I guess thus lighter periods but would that really happen the first month w/ only 50 mg? Or maybe it was b/c I was more depleted this month that it's light?

Have you tested though? Is it spoting?

[ABC.2606]

Yea BFN this morning. Plus I've had two days now of pre-O temps. Blood seems be getting redder/ a little more now, so it's gotta be AF. Doc just called about my Clomid prescription and said that if anything Clomid would make AF heavier though. So who knows. He wants me to come in on Nov 21st for ultrasound (right around time of O) to check everything out though so I am going to not stress about it now (or try not to!) When I had a mid-cycle ultrasound at the end of Sept my lining looked really good - so I really doubt 1 month of Clomid 50 mg really messed it up a lot!

I'm just starting to feel a little better and thinking about testing in the next few days. I'm 7dpo I think but not really sure because of all the inaccurate temps with having a fever. I'm pretty sure this isn't our month (again..) but you just never know!

[ABC.2606]

BBB - hard to say. It's supposed to length LP according to Atomic. It lengthened my cycle for sure - 26 days. It's almost always 24 days and never more than 25. But I think I ovulated on day 15 or 16, which would be a 10/11 day LP, which is my normal. So who knows. My doc was happy though as he thinks the longer cycle means I had a longer LP, but he doesn't believe in temp charting & thinks you ovulate the day of +opk. FX for your DH's SA!!!! You never know - I thought my husband's wouldn't be as high as it was b/c he has hypothyroidism, which can cause low sperm counts, and he's not a "high testosterone" guy in any way. And yet his was 99 million/mL! So hopefully your DH's will be better than you're expecting it to be!

TP that looks like a really good line! Ahhhhh what is going on with you and Robin?! This is so confusing!!! We all want to see those sticky beans with both of you!!

BBB cant wait to hear what hubbys result is! So glad to finally see an appt set! In saying that I'm really liking your chart! I know those first 5/6 days dont mean much but just getting an overall good vibe when I look at it. Cant wait to see what the next 5 days temps do!

Abc I cant remember if/how clomid affected my af? I think it was more after the mc's it changed? Instead of getting it first thing and heavy, I would start spotting (which I never had previously) sometimes after lunch or evening and it could take up to a day to increase to full flow. I also started regularly experiencing spotting after af finished, even the occasional blood tinged cm at cd10..... If you're open to it I'd maybe try e3d (the two full days in between version) this cycle from af finish to sustained temp rise and forget the opks as they'll just create too much expectation of impending o and stress you out [emoji173]

Good to know I'm not crazy! This was totally in the afternoon again, too... and my beta WAS drawnq in the morning. Would that even matter?

My doctor's office just called and said it was negative, they didn't give me a number. They had also drawn cortisol and progesterone but didn't even give me those numbers either :mad:

[ABC.2606]

Pbn - Hmmm that's interesting. Before starting sway I never spotted before AF, but now, it happens pretty regularly - just a tiny amount and only a day or two before AF starts, but again, it never happened before swaying. It's one of the only changes I've noticed in my cycles after nearly 8 months of swaying. I was spotting a tiny, tiny bit last night - and with the temp dip it was like, ok, either AF is coming or I'm implanting. It has increased to a full flow over the day today even though it is def lighter than a normal CD1 for me. So weird. But again - my diet and physical condition were a lot worse this past cycle so maybe that's what's caused the change.

Picked up round 2 of Clomid from the pharmacy today, starting it on Saturday. Trying to feel hopeful and optimistic heading into this cycle!!! I don't know exactly how we'll do the BD pattern yet - still want to think about it a bit more, as well as if DH should release 12+ hours before attempt to lower sperm count.

Pbn didn't you say you took Clomid in the morning? I took it at night last time but didn't know if it was better to do morning. Both the pharmacist and doc said they didn't think it mattered. Did you take it with food or on empty stomach?

Robin - I REALLY hope this is your sticky bean, but if not, yes, let's definitely be Clomid buddies this month! But oh please let those betas be good!!!!!

[Pbn3]

Abc I took mine in the morning as I was so keen and couldn't bear to wait until evening [emoji23] Don't remember taking with food? Would usually take when I got up for first pee. Some people opt to take it in the evening so they are less likely to feel side effects during the night but I personally don't recall feeling anything different during the day [emoji848]

I’m 6 dpo and starting to get antsy to test. Trying not to for fear of another chemical. For those who are heading to ivf, does your insurance cover? (If you don’t mind me asking) We looked into ivf bc our second child has a rare genetic condition and im stressing big time about something happening with #3. All our gnentic tests have come back normal and our daughter is just a random occurnace but the fear is still there. And our insurance wouldn’t cover ivf. With having a chemical preg a couple months ago I stress more which prob isn’t good for conceiving either. .

I started bleeding, so I'm definitely out now.

Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover at all. We'd have to go all out of pocket. I'm so stressed because in order to afford it somewhat, we'll have to go to an out of state clinic 5 hours away. We're going to be driving there just for the consult (since the wait for a phone consult was 2 months away).

My beta results came back and it's positive but at 17.
They will do a repeat test but think it's a chemical pregnancy

[emoji254]Thank you Gender Dreaming for our precious little girl![emoji254]

[ABC.2606]

Sigh. So I've had a little wine tonight (after 10+ days without it during tww!) and I'm feeling so sad. I want to be pregnant again. I want the baby girl I've dreamed of for soooo long. Just feels like it's never going to happen. I just want one sweet little girl. I've dreamt and worked so hard.

And I found out my best friend - who has wanted to be a mama forever & started IVF in October for infertility issues - isn't pregnant after the first embryo transfer didn't take. Which just breaks my heart. I was so feeling like it was going to stick.

Why can't baby making just be easier for those great mamas out there who want it so much???

Big hugs Abc xxoo Try and not dwell on it too much as it will never make sense how some people who don't even deserve children can have them so easily yet those that want them so much have such trouble. It simply is what it is as cold as that sounds. With my second mc I discovered a week before our family reunion that I was going to lose the pregnancy. I had a brother and sister flying in from other cities and didn't feel I could back out of it as it cost them so much to fly their families there. So everybody knew I was going to miscarry and likely during the 4/5 days we were all there. On the seond night/first family dinner my brother and his girlfriend announced. They didn't even bother giving me a heads up which was really upsetting after the fact. I behaved appropriately of course and was very excited for them but it was a huge kick in the guts. I started bleeding the next day and already had a scan booked at a diagnostic place in the city to confirm bub was deceased. I seen an ob I'd never met to medicate the mc in order to quicken things up so the 8 hour drive home would be more bearable. It didnt go to plan, I went through an awful procedure in his office to try and remove retained tissue in the cervix two days later and then once home tried more medication then eventually had to have a d&c. When my brothers girlfriend was 19 weeks pregnant she terminated her perfectly healthy pregnancy against my brothers wishes and I basically had a break down. I spiralled into depression and drinking alcohol and lost all faith in the whole good things happen to good people, karma etc etc I climbed my way back slowly and I never ever want to go there again. I experienced my third loss a couple months later but strangely enough I dealt with it the easiest..... I think because I accepted it was out of my control. I was either going to fall pregnant with a sticky bean or I wasn't. Gave myself 3 more cycles and was at complete peace when I gave up. Then I fell pregnant somehow ([emoji23]) and low and behold I'm now 30 weeks. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't dwell on things you cant control, try and stay positive for both you and your friend. Very importantly, try and not be angry. Its an exhausting destructive emotion that saps the life out of you. And keep talking, always keep talking and sharing xxoo


Sorry everyone for bombarding the thread with all that but I feel its important to know we are not alone in thoughts or emotions and this is never a walk you need do alone. Someone here will always have your back [emoji173]

Pbn - ok I'm in tears. Your story is amazing. You've been through so much. And the love and support you pour onto the ladies here on GD is just so incredible. You truly are an amazing, beautiful woman. I wish I could meet you in person. If you ever come anywhere on this side of the world (the US), please let me know. :) :)
Yea I will try to stay positive. My friend is a very positive person. She's sad but remains optimistic. She has more chances still ahead with the IVF. I just want this to happen for her so bad. And I just want that little girl I've been waiting for. Hopefully both will come in time. For now I hope I can be as positive a light as you are Pbn!! So many things to be joyful and thankful for this time of year. We're traveling after Christmas to see my DH's family. His sister has 3 kids - 1 boy and 2 girls - and his brother has 2 kids - 1 boy, 1 girl - and they are pregnant with their 3rd which we don't know the gender of yet. It's another reason I'm hoping we're pregnant by Christmas so I can mitigate the feelings of jealousy I know I'm going to have to deal with being around their mixed gender families. At least I'll have 45 lbs of weight loss to show off & brag about haha! I'm kidding, but they haven't seen me since I lost all this weight so that will be a surprise.

Anyways - thanks for as always lifting my spirits Pbn!!! I CANNOT wait to see a pic of that little bub of yours!!!!! So soon now!!!!!!!

Thank you Abc [emoji173] I found for me turning anger and bitterness into empathy and compassion really healed me in a way nothing else did. Of course the anti depressants helped too [emoji6][emoji23] I feel like its my mission in life to see as many rainbow babies brought into this world as possible which is why I cant bring myself to leave these threads. I love sharing your ladies journeys and so many here have inspired me and were crucial in helping me when I was at my worst, for which I'll be forever thankful. So lets try and get you pregnant this cycle with your sticky pink bean! That truly would be the icing on the 'Christmas' cake [emoji3]

I've said it before and I'll say it again you have a beautiful soul and I'm so glad the lord gave me a friend such as you. You have helped me through so much! [emoji8][emoji7]
Similar situation, me and my dh was sitting in the ob office confirming our miscarriage and his cousin calls and tells us of his pregnancy. I'm not going to lie I was bitter, but felt bad because they did lose that one and that wasn't his first baby, but it was her first baby. Now they have a healthy baby boy. Guess we all have our moments for sure. I take my bitterness to the lord, and he always makes it much better!

Right back at you mommy2apples, so happy to have met you [emoji173][emoji173][emoji173] And I've said before that I truly envy yourself (and others) their faith in a higher being.

Isn't it bizarre that so many of us have been through the same scenario of someone close announcing pregnancy/birth while we are losing ours. Almost as though we are being tested [emoji848]?

Going to do my morning chart stalk so might (undoubtedly will [emoji23]) be back with more to say [emoji3]

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

[Pbn3]

Not to much to say actually [emoji23] but that will change soon!!!

For now just want to say BBB that I'm still loving your chart and I have a big bubble of hope in my tummy just waiting to burst!!! Please please let this be your cycle!!! Trying to keep a lid on the excitement as I know your situation but boy oh boy it's hard to not be excited every time I look at your chart. I've been fooled by charts before though so keeping myself in check....... how are you feeling?

Greydore do you still visit the thread? I miss seeing your posts. How are you? Hope you're in for an exciting week ahead!!! What opks did you decide on?

Plasticserenity good to see ff shifted your crosshairs to the right spot [emoji3] will you be trying to hold off testing until 10dpo?

Mummy2boys cant say much about your chart as I know it isn't overly accurate this cycle. How are you feeling? Are you all better? Does af feel imminent? Hoping you get well timed attempt/s next cycle. Is dh still not entirely on board?

Bluedreaming I'm so excited for this time next week as hopefully you will have just oed!!!!!

So much for not much to say [emoji23][emoji23]

How are all you other ladies who aren't charting or I don't have a link to? Can you please catch us up on where you are at? There were quite a number of new ladies to the 2ww thread. Apologies for not responding directly to you, its not intentional at all, I just find it easier to remember where everyone's at by looking at charts [emoji4]

Hi pbn! I'm feeling ok. I have a mix of hope and doubt this time. Trying to take it one day at a time and not get too far ahead of myself. Having said that, I did buy a 2 pack of frers today lol probably means AF will come even sooner! :rolleyes:

[Pbn3]

Probably a good way to stay BBB, hopeful but doubtful [emoji17] I'm glad you got some frers just in case though [emoji3][emoji3] so you won't test until af due or overdue? What dpo will that be?

[ABC.2606]

Eeek BBB hoping this is it!!!!!

Pbn I took a few days off of temping - will resume probably tomorrow. Hence the empty chart right now. :)

This AF has been SO weird. Started Thursday morning super, super light, very slowly getting heavier. Yesterday was really heavy - which is normal day 2 for me but it seemed heavier than normal, then today, day 3, it's really light again. Weird!!! It must be the Clomid - def not a normal AF for me.

I have an u/s on the 21st to check my lining, follicles, etc, as doc wants to see how Clomid is affecting everything. It'll be right around the time of O I think. So that will be interesting!

Hey ladies, I'll be ovulating this coming week (if my cycle stays the same)

Does anyone else get pain when they ovuLate? Since tracking and using opks without fail the day after my postitive opk I'll have bloating and pain and I just knownive ovulated! Goes away in a few hours but it's like clockwork!

Maybe because I have pcos?

[Pbn3]

Girlswaylondon I also experienced o pain as well after monitoring my cycles. Prior to this I don't recall ever feeling it [emoji23] I'm sure I would have but would've just passed it off as random twinges/pangs and not the consistent pain I was experiencing once aware. It's amazing how much more you feel your body once you start listening!!!

Temp drop today. Have to wait to see what tomorrow brings.

I got really bad cramps day of pos opk this month and some not so bad the following morning. I never get cramps, not even with AF.

Dh has to wait until 20th Dec to see his Dr about the hcg. He has none left and I don't want to buy anymore, but I'm worried about him starting and stopping it. It is a hormone after all. It's a joke because they know he hasn't had a test shot since July.

[4blue2pink]

BBB im UK too and feel like our appointments, prescriptions and just getting meds/treatment in general is so far behind compared to the US!! fingers crossed for you for this month!! :)

whenever i see your signature on here with the 5 girls im in awe :heart: though i completely understand the desire for the opposite gender and i truly hope you guys get your boy!! :) just thought id share some love for the amazing large all girl families on here and drop off all my blue dust for you guys :bluecheer: xx

Hey guys just wanted to pop in an update you all.
My second beta todat was 12 so it's going down and it's a chemical pregnancy.
So disappointed to now have to be pushed back in my cycle and wait around until AF comes.
Anyway good luck to all those ttc. I hope the universe is nicer to y'all than it is to me!

[Greydore]

Hi Pbn! I'm still here, just had a wedding and a baby shower this weekend so I've been insanely busy. Wonderful but exhausting! I've decided to just use the Walmart OPKs that I already have. I don't want to spend more money on ttc than I have to at this point. I'm SO much more relaxed this cycle, like I'm not googling everything and stressing. It's nice because the time went so slow when I was anxious about everything last cycle.


[emoji170]10/2013 [emoji170]2/2016

[Pbn3]

Mummy2boys don't give up yet! Those two temps below coverline could mean something other than af coming, especially with your temp popping back up above coverline today! 8/9dpo is smack bang in the middle of when implantation generally takes place and looking at your chart history this is a new pattern at this dpo [emoji848] I'm going to stay hopeful as af should arrive tomorrow or the next day if its going to....
