I just did this wondfo & a CB advanced & a regular CB with FMU - which is totally crazy I know, but my follicle ultrasound the other day has me really stressed out that I'm going to miss O.
Would you count this wondfo as positive or negative? The regular CB was negative and advanced was flashing. Maybe I'll get a + later today? But then I don't know if we should BD today or tomorrow... we normally BD on day of solid smiley on the advanced.

ABC I am not as experienced as some women here but for me that would be positive.

Oh and for me that would be an almost positive, like maybe 12-36 hours before positive, so I can see why its flashing.

Very close to positive. Can you take another wondfo too (lol)? That's probably what I would Do. I am interested to see what the more experienced people reply.

Abc that does look pos to me but only just... Given your history of oing 2-4 days after pos opk I'd probably wait until at least tomorrow morning before having an attempt, if not tomorrow night. I'm assuming you'll get your pos on the digi's tomorrow.....

Ok. :worry: My recent history... with OPKs and Clomid... is that I should get a +OPK (including the advanced) on CD13 or CD14 on O on CD15. I'm CD13 today. So I should still be ok. But that follicle ultrasound has me all stressed out - I guess that's the downside of getting those done (but this doc requires them w/ Clomid). On Friday morning I had a 17 mm and a 20 mm follicle and nurse said I should definitely get a positive this weekend. She seemed surprised that I hadn't already as of Friday. But I think my body's tendency is too grow bigger than average follicles before they ovulate. The last follicle ultrasound I had in November (on CD13), I had a 25 mm and 27 mm follicle and I hadn't O'd yet. But dang after two full days since that ultrasound those follies have to be pretty big now!!

Abc- i know nothing about follicle, so educate me. Does that mean that you'll likely eject two eggs? Or will one likely die off?
It can go either way. Both eggs could be released, or only one. The reason is that once one egg is ovulated, the hole the egg comes from starts making a hormone that prevents the ovulation of other eggs. But it depends on the timeline - if the second egg is able to ovulate before ovulation is prohibited then you O two eggs. Just depends on how quick the hormone level rises and how close the second egg is to ovulation. :)
ABC.2606
May 13th, 2018, 12:50 PM
Atomic - yea, the nurse said I'd probably ovulate 2 eggs but I know that may not happen. I'm really not worried about that part as I'm pretty sure I'm growing 2 dominant follicles every Clomid cycle. Nurse actually said they like to see that.
She did bring up the issue of the trigger shot but said on Friday I should hold off at that point, but are you saying I should call tomorrow and ask for it? If I'm not pregnant this cycle and they do this ultrasound next cycle I'm def going for the trigger shot! No more guesswork! :)
I did another wondfo with a less than 2 hour hold and very diluted urine (thank you, morning coffee!) & it's still VERY close to positive!! So this afternoon's digital has got to be positive yea? Atomic if so do you think we should attempt tonight?

We had attempt last night (my opk isn't positive just yet I think it will be today or tomorrow) but it just happened anyway... should I just pick up with every 4 days now? And when would that be- wednesday or Thursday night?

Kitten that's exciting!!!! So your attempt was Sunday night, yea? (if I remember you are in Australia, so it's Monday there now?) If it were me I'd probably go for Wednesday night as that would be roughly 72 hours between attempts and since your OPK is not positive yet you could be a few days off from O still. But Thursday would still be considered E4D. GL!

Thanks Pbn this afternoons opk is definitely still negative so I will pick up e4d on Wednesday. My surge usually happens very quickly and I usually o within 12 hours of a positive so after yesterday's fade in on my opk by today it would normally be blazing positive but I think clomid may have changed this so I think e4d is best for me with clomid.

More detail if it makes a difference.... Positive OPK was 2:20pm and I think attempt was somewhere around 10:45pm. I am not sure I recorded info about EWCM accurately, new to that. Such a learning curve!

Gafan - FF gave you cross hairs on CD17 because of the temp shift on CD18. It's using the temp shift + the positive OPK to decide when you O'd, since it's possible (but less likely) to O on the same day as +OPK. But looking at it I'd say it's possible you could have O'd on CD18 or CD19 as well, since many of your pre-O temps are above that cover line. Pbn is better able to interpret though!

Yup! Got a positive OPK yesterday afternoon, attempt was last night. Did J&D after about 5 minutes (maybe a little longer) so very nervous about it!!! Also have a history of a long delay between +OPK and O (I think Clomid has helped shorten that though) so praying that O comes SOON!!! :)

Alright, embarrassing question time. So my husband as an on again off again problem of not getting there. So do I or do I not count this on FF? Technically I was exposed to plenty of pre-cum. If I thought I was close to Ovulation, I'd be all over it again tonight, but my gut is telling me that I'm either in the TWW or totally screwed up considering I'm 7 weeks post d&c.

Sent from my SM-G930U using TapatalkGafan I think you've oed cd19 looking at your temps. While it's possible to o same day as pos opk it's more common to o within 24-48 hours after. Ff may shift your crosshairs after some more temps have been entered but you may need to also change the chart analysis mode (we'll discuss that if it doesn't shift)
With your cm how are you reading it? Do you check it internally? The feel of it can really help determine what type it is.

Gafan meant to say before that maybe you'd be better doing e4d?
Hannah I wouldn't include a bd that wasn't 'finished' as an attempt. It's great you were exposed to pre-cum so still a small chance it *may* count but I wouldn't consider it one. It's more like an attempt using pull out method - possible but not probable....

Because there's so much uncertainty where you're at in your cycle I'd probably just try again tomorrow maybe? So he doesn't feel pressured tonight. Try and pick up e4d (72 hours) from then as best you can anyway. I cant your past cycles (other than the last which shows nothing) to see how your temps/cycles looked previously. Can you screenshot a couple? Do you think you've oed?? Any intuition telling you yay or nay?

Thanks, pbn. I am relieved that I didn't necessarily miss this chance. I am going to be E4D moving forward (Friday/Tuesday...). Given I have in all likelihood ovulated, should I do E4D over the 2ww or wait until next cycle to start?
I have been looking at and feeling mucus but usually when wiping externally, not an internal sample.

Gafan yes I would do e4d (96 hour version) during 2ww as it will give your body that bit extra exposure to sperm. Then from af finish to confirmed o I'd revert to e4d (72 hour version) Here's hoping you wont even need to worry about next cycle as this will be the one that brings your bfp [emoji173]
I would check cm internally around pos opk and the couple days following. No need to go poking your cervix or anything like that. I'd just insert a finger and check that way as I rarely had cm when I wiped. I was easily able to distinguish pre and post o cm after a few cycles and for me it was like clockwork. May be something to consider if there's a next cycle but its certainly not necessary if you're not comfortable doing it that way [emoji4]
Pbn3
May 14th, 2018, 05:51 PM
Wow hgmama! Those are some short cycles! So I'm still on the fence as to whether you've oed or not although it's certainly looking more possible after seeing those past cycles. What is your body telling you? If you continue as best you can with e4d (whether 72 or 96 hours) you should get a valid attempt regardless for either scenario. Otherwise af will arrive and then hopefully things will become clear and readable [emoji4] Or af wont arrive and your bfp will [emoji8]

I am praying we caught our egg this cycle, but who knows. I thought I may have ovulated Friday, but then the OPK was positive again the next day, can you ovulate while still having an LH surge? I hope I didn't ovulate Friday mostly because then I am way less confident about that one attempt on CD8.

Pbn3- what's my body telling me? My guess is that I'm jacked up at the moment. Yes, I did have a LH surge last week, but like atomic taught me... I could have been just having a practice run. I did have lower quadrant pain similar to what I believe ovulation pains are, but usually are one sided only. This time was left side one day and right side the other. So maybe it was just stool having problems getting through. Lots of it could have been this or that in my mind. So doing cheapie wondfo opks and not my clearblues. My plan is give it one more week. Either I get a BFP if I did O or I have no period for 8 weeks post d&c and I'll call my OB so I can get in before she goes on maternity leave herself.

Need guidance and need to vent during this difficult time. Anyone been in this predicament?
To my surprise I just found out I’m pregnant with baby number # 3. It’s a total surprise since we had to get pregnant with baby # 2 with the help of fertility doctors.
We have 2 amazing boys age 2 and 5 and my husband is not handling this news well at all. I’m honestly not thrilled either since we have our hands already full and can’t imagine having 3 kids. Financially it’s doable but physically it’s not since our 2 boys weren’t easy as infants and the 5 year old is still challenging. I’m 38 and my husband is 40 and our age isn’t working in our favor either. My husband told me he made a list of pros and cons and he can’t find any pros to having a third child.
My logical side tells me the same things but part of me wants to see if this is a girl. I tols him I want to wait to find out gender at 10/11 weeks and he sees no point in it. He keeps saying he doesn’t care if it’s a boy or girl or Albert Einstein. He says I should terminate this pregnancy for the sake and well being of our current family. I’m so hurt and conflicted. My logical part says he is correct but my emotional side says I should wait to find out sex but I’m worried waiting that long will make it more difficult. I’m worried if I end it now I will have resentment towards my husband and if for some reason we keep this pregnancy my husband will have resentment towards me.
Any insight is really appreciated it.

I was in a similar situation when I fell pregnant with Ds3 , he was a big surprise, my eldest didn’t sleep and has ASD so it was hard, financially we weren’t in a good place, but someone told me, you will never ever regret the children you do have! And this is true for me, he is so wonderful! I can’t imagine our life without him.
It’s really only a decision you can make, because ultimately you have to live with it either way.

Healthygirl I agree that perhaps you can post this question in another area? There is a whole lot of forums on here that you could start a tread under. Plus you'll get a lot more responses having your own thread. Some ladies (including myself) have been through multiple losses or experienced loss and/or trouble just ttc so it's just not the ideal thread to discuss termination of a pregnancy. Please dont take that the wrong way, this site offers support for all, maybe just look for advice in a more appropriate thread [emoji173]

Need guidance and need to vent during this difficult time. Anyone been in this predicament?
To my surprise I just found out I’m pregnant with baby number # 3. It’s a total surprise since we had to get pregnant with baby # 2 with the help of fertility doctors.
We have 2 amazing boys age 2 and 5 and my husband is not handling this news well at all. I’m honestly not thrilled either since we have our hands already full and can’t imagine having 3 kids. Financially it’s doable but physically it’s not since our 2 boys weren’t easy as infants and the 5 year old is still challenging. I’m 38 and my husband is 40 and our age isn’t working in our favor either. My husband told me he made a list of pros and cons and he can’t find any pros to having a third child.
My logical side tells me the same things but part of me wants to see if this is a girl. I tols him I want to wait to find out gender at 10/11 weeks and he sees no point in it. He keeps saying he doesn’t care if it’s a boy or girl or Albert Einstein. He says I should terminate this pregnancy for the sake and well being of our current family. I’m so hurt and conflicted. My logical part says he is correct but my emotional side says I should wait to find out sex but I’m worried waiting that long will make it more difficult. I’m worried if I end it now I will have resentment towards my husband and if for some reason we keep this pregnancy my husband will have resentment towards me.
Any insight is really appreciated it.
Thanks

Oh healthygirl i wish I could help you as I feel like you just wrote my story that I was about to post and ask for advice. I have been loosely doing LE PCOS diet waiting to convince DH to try for #3 as he is currently adamant that we can't afford a third baby and he is happy with our two (some days he feels like they are too much as our 2 1/2 yr old is perfecting his tantrums and ways to hurt his 9 month old brother) but I have been on the pill and had gastro with my boys about 3-4 weeks ago and didn't think anything of it as we rarely get time to ourselves anymore with DH working and the boys still not great at sleeping. It wasn't til last Friday that I started to feel nauseous and had pains under my armpits which was the first thing I noticed with both of my pregnancies and low and behold did a test and bfp. I had bloods done today as I have had spotting and cramping so not sure I will get the chance to keep this baby even if I want but can't bring myself to tell DH yet as terrified of his response as am sure he will say exactly what your DH has said and will want to terminate. Like you I want to know if this is my longed for little girl (I want to keep this baby regardless of gender though ) and I know I will resent my DH if I don't get the chance to find out and to keep Bub but I also fear he will resent me if we keep this baby and that might destroy our current family and I don't want that for the boys. I wish I could offer you advice but really can't except send you lots of hugs and hope you can work out what is best for you and your family.

So I'm not trying to be offensive, but this is definitely the wrong place to post this -- these are women trying to GET pregnant!! Maybe try posting in the Pregnancy section, or the gender disappointment ones?
I will say though, I am so sorry you're going through this. I am very pro-choice, but one of my fundamental elements of my pro-choice nature is detesting anyone pressuring a woman to terminate or keep a baby -- and I am SO sorry your husband is doing that to you.
I'd definitely love to offer more advice and to hear you vent once this is posted in a proper place <3 I think talking about termination in a TTC thread could be very triggering for many.

Ok I already feel discouraged about this cycle. Woke up this morning, no temp rise, so now we're looking at possibly an O-2 attempt if I ovulate today. I know an O-2 would still be a good chance but what I don't get is WHY does it take my body so flippin' long to O after +OPK, even with Clomid?? Especially as those two dominant follicles of mine have to be SO HUGE by now!! They were 17 mm and 20 mm on Friday morning and it's now Tuesday morning! If they grow 1-3 mm per day they could be, what, over 30 mm by now? Ugh. Frustrating. I really worry too they are going to get "over ripe" as well.
I told DH this morning if it doesn't happen this month we're getting a trigger shot next cycle. I hate this waiting so long to O after +OPK/attempt thing... Stresses me out more than the TWW! Anyone have experience with the trigger shot? The nurse brought it up the other day so I'm pretty sure they'll give it to me next cycle if I want it. :sigh:

You did have a slight temp ride though! So maybe it will just get higher over the next few days to confirm?! I'm fairly sure I actually got DD from an O-2 and O-3 BD pattern so I'm hoping you'll O soon! Sending you all the prayers and vibes for this month that you sent me for mine!! ♡♡♡

Thanks TP!!!! Unfortunately I don't think my temps from the past couple of days are completely accurate as I've had two bad nights of sleep (woken up multiple times, including multiple times early in the morning before I normally take my temp). But they are definitely "pre-O" temps, as my post-O range is 97.7 and above. I have had cycles though where I'm pretty sure I just had a delayed temp rise, or thought that I may have O'd middle of the night/really early in the morning and my temp hadn't had time to go up yet. Yesterday and today so far I've had very little EWCM (more sticky than EW) so who knows. Just so weird :(

Abc- Not going to lie, I have NO idea what's going on. Maybe its just a false positive. IF- big fat IF, my LH surge popped out an egg, I'd only be 7 days post ovulation. The only reason I took a test is because last night I was SO thirsty. Which I did that with my last pregnancy. I was drinking a ton of water. So plan is to take a FRER in the morning. I only have one. Not getting my hopes up quite yet, but I'll skip that nightly beer I've been having.

You had a recent loss, right?? It's not possible you're still pregnant from that is it?! It IS possible to get a BFP that early even if it's rare though too!!! AHH!

Yea I've asked atomic about it before and we think it's possible that there could just be a delay between the time I'm O-ing and temp rise... maybe it takes longer for my body to start producing progesterone. I don't know. We'll have another attempt tomorrow night but I'm guessing I will definitely O by then.... If I haven't already. CM is very scant and creamy today.

Thanks Pbn. I should never post on here in the early morning when I'm all freaked out... I almost always calm down a few hours later LOL!!! I'm pretty sure I've O'd by now - the CM is def not fertile CM and I've been feeling more flushed/hot throughout the day which apparently is the new post-O symptom I've been noticing the past several months. So I'm guessing it happened - hopefully tomorrow will confirm.

Mummy- true bummer. I'm sorry. Enjoy your wine this weekend.
ABC- i dont even know if we should call this a cycle. Story of my life - weirdo.
Everyone else- I'm thinking its a false positive but thanks for having fingers crossed and lots of hopes this was real. We'll see in the morning, but I'm not hopeful. I dont even know if I O'd. My temps are pretty low for post O.

@HGmama: Ah, I'm sorry no more BFPs!! I think even if they're not touching, doing an HPT and OPK in the same sample at the same time is enough for that effect. Very strange all the false positives on here lately!! Those are pretty rare, and everyone's getting very strong pink lines with them!

We're in the same boat with allergies and not sleeping well. My sinuses are a mess and I haven't gotten a good night sleep for several days now. DH keeps waking me up too in the middle of the night when he goes to the bathroom, which is odd as I'm a deep sleeper normally!

This cycle is so weird I never even got a positive opk! The darkest would have been Tuesday morning and I did have a killer backache on Tuesday and a little ewcm along with some pretty convincing o pains so who knows?

I hear you all on the sleep problems too. Last night I got goid sleep but several of the nights last week sleep was not great, although in my case I think it was more me and DH than my 3 year old.
Temp still up. I don't know how many DPO or when I will start testing. Pbn thought FF was wrong in marking O.
Last night DH finally clarified why he is so depressed lately and it is half of what I feared. He is dreading having another pregnancy and baby, feeling like we have it good with 1 kid and that 2 will be overwhelming and depress him. He is willing to keep TTC in his resigned "it has always been too late for me to have the kind if life I really want" way. I kind of get his perspective- life is much easier with just one and focusing on your own joy when youve had a rough childhood is understandable- but mothering my son is probably the most joyful experience of my life and he seems to enjoy parts of parenting. There is a ticking clock here!. I hope to have another child, boy or girl (hopefully girl), and I am angry and sad that he always has to be like this about what could be joyful parts of life. I wish I had a partner who at least sometimes could share more joy about what I feel joyful about. And I don't feel i can go to him for support about TTC because of all this. I am grateful to you women for listening.

I've responded a few times but my posts keep being sent to a moderator...?? Hopefully this one works.
I'll wait until 11 dpo. That's when I had my positives with my first two. Anything before then is a mind game and I don't want to expose myself to more negatives than I need to after so many months of them.
Gafan- I'm sorry. Hugs. TTC is stressful enough without that added burden. I hope it happens for you soon.
Noemi- I see your chart now! Don't know how I missed it. I hope you get that positive OPK soon, I know how hard it is just waiting for it to be positive. I'm sorry you don't have predictable times either to lean on when you're trying to figure it all out.

Officially driving myself crazy!
9DPO- resisting all urges to test, despite cramps, super duper irritated [emoji36] and waking up at 4am!! Seriously why???
Had another temp rise this morning, but I know it doesn’t mean anything .
Everyone is sick here, so I haven’t gone out of the house much .
Thank goodness for work over the next 3 days so I can distract myself.

Gafan huge hugs and total understanding [emoji173] My husband was on board initially for a 3rd but only just, then he got to fed up and started *sulking* as I used to say. I finally explained to him what having another meant to me and why I wanted it so much and it bought me another year or so. After our 2 first losses though I didn't think I'd be able to get him to agree to try again but I did by putting a time limit on it (he's the type of personality that can work to set in stone dates [emoji19])
In my honest opinion I'd stop talking to your dh about it and just keep on trying as long as he is willing to dtd unprotected. Don't mention bding as 'attempts', make him think your wanting the intamicy [emoji6] (not saying you don't of course, just laughing at myself here) just initiate intercouse when its 'go time' without explanation? Do you think that would work? At the end of the day another baby doesn't affect him any really and he will love bub whole heartedly once he/she is here. For you, this is a calling/desire/need and want which you are so within your rights to have. Us women give up so much (willingly) for our family so I believe we should have a much stronger say in when our families are complete [emoji173] I cannot wait to keep watching your chart and while I believe ff has prematurely allocated your crosshairs it is definately possible it is right as well. Just be aware though come testing time you have the possibility of being 2dpo later [emoji4]

Yeah men are weird when it comes to that! With DS2 my hubby wanted to take a break, it was getting too much. So I stopped talking about it. Maybe we get obsessed and talk to much 🤣
This time, I just told my DH e4d ( mon and thur ) and he reminds me [emoji23]
I’m not sure if the chart works?
I tried to share it, but it wouldn’t let me [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

Pbn, thank you for your validation. I do feel that women ought to have a more valued voice in the decision of when to keep trying to add to a family and when to stop trying.
I don't usually talk with DH about attempts and fertility cycle. I hide the opks etc. But the temping thermometer beeps when it is done and he feels weird about the tim8ng stuff. Moving to every 3-4 days might help or might not, we'll see.
It is nice to know that others have also gone through similar situations. Swaying adds another layer of complicated to TTC.

I know! My leveled temps are weird. I think I had this on another cycle after O- where they go up to high 97s and stay there for a few days, then bump to my higher 98, which is exactly what happened today! Had my 98 temp. Here is an overlay showing my March temps with this month.

Hi again, hope all of you are doing fine, and are close to getting your bfps!
I'll be back to ttc next month probably, I had a D&C a few days ago, miscarried at 9/3 weeks.
I know some of you had similar terrible experience, could you please tell me when it is OK to get back to normal life, like exercise, DTD, etc., doctors here like to recommend pretty long wait intervals, which I don't think is necessary, so I wonder about more realistic and safe time frames.

Oh sunstars. I'm so sorry. I don't have any advice, but I know my SIL was advised to wait one cycle before TTC again, but they decided to wait two. She got pregnant on her third cycle after her D and C.
Pbn3
May 18th, 2018, 11:55 PM
Sunstars I'm so sorry again [emoji173] I'd wait at least one full cycle after a d&c at a minimum. So once af arrives, wait out the cycle until it arrives again before trying. My ob was quite strict and had me wait out three cycles following the d&c one, which sucked because it felt sooo long but in hindsight I was glad as I had a few emotional issues to work through. I've seen plenty of people advised cycle following is considered safe though. It will ultimately come down to you and what you feel comfortable with. Sending you hugs and strength at this awful time [emoji173]

Oh sunstars I am so sorry for your loss, it's such a difficult time & I can understand you wanting to get back into it, planning and moving forward was my way of coping (or maybe just keeping the mind busy). I think what your body is quite used to exercise wise shouldn't hurt. When it comes to ttc let your instincts guide you. Take care of yourself and I will see you in the ttc threads and seeing you get your sticky little one soon.

Sunstars, I am sorry for your loss. I had a D&C in December and was advised to wait to least one full cycle until TTC. They didn't put any limits on exercise or protected sex, so I think whatever exercise you are used to and whatever you feel like with sex would be fine. I didn't exercise for awhile, and I didn't feel like having sex much. I was kind of surprised by how long it took for me to stop bleeding, and I heard it is normal for some women to bleed awhile, stop, and then bleed again without it being AF yet. Slow down a bit, if you can, to slow grieving, and be extra kind and gentle with yourself. (Many of us have felt irrational guilt with pregnancy loss, but of course it was not your fault.) Take good care.

Sunstars - I'm so, so sorry. Please take care of yourself - it's so terrible going through this kind of loss especially after you think things are going well and then suddenly, they aren't. :( My OBGYN and RE basically advise waiting a full cycle and until you have a "normal" AF again. My OB also told me I could resume exercise whenever I was ready, but I didn't have much bleeding so I'd say make sure you feel physically ok before starting again. We're here for you!
Gafan - Sorry about DH :( That's frustrating. I can't really relate as my DH is still very much wanting a 3rd and it's actually me who keeps asking him if we really should keep trying or not since I pretty frequently now feel like I'm ready to give up. Not that I don't want a 3rd as much as him (and I def want a girl more than he does), but this past year has drained me more than him. I know a lot of ladies on here though have struggled with their DHs in terms of continuing to ttc so you're in the right place to vent!! :)
Kikurose have you tested? Hopeful have you tested? Anyone else close to testing? Kitten do you think you've def ovulated yet? HGMama any news on your end?
Pbn - thanks for asking... I'm... eh, ok. I think I O'd late on Monday or early on Tuesday and since then I've been hit with a lot of feelings of regret about TTC-ing this cycle. I don't know that I was fully emotionally ready to try again and now I have really mixed feelings about possibly being pregnant. I feel like I don't want to go through it all again - getting a BFP, watching the FRER lines, getting betas done, worrying about the gender... possibly miscarrying, etc. etc. I also feel like I didn't give myself enough time back on the diet after my m/c and I have this strong sense already that if we got pregnant it will be a boy. I was really excited before O to try and have our attempt and since then it's basically been all regret - wasn't expecting to feel like that. I've also gotten horrible sleep all week, waking up a lot earlier than normal every day too so I know my temps aren't accurate. I have a cold or a sinus infection and DS2 has had a high fever since yesterday so it's just been a weird week. Thinking I wont test until Friday - feel like I'll be able to hold off longer this time since again I don't even know if I want a BFP.

Sunstars- I'm sorry for your loss. ABC and I both had our d&c's this year. My doc wanted me to wait until we confirmed it was a non-molar pregnancy and that my hcg levels dropped to a hpt was negative. It took a little bit longer (3 weeks) for me since I was 11 weeks by the time of my d&c. I would have been able to dtd protected until then but had some irregular bleeding so I had to hold off a bit longer. I'm learning that everyone's healing process is different and there's lots of different opinions on when to try again. Although we are actively TTC, I don't think my body truly got the hint so I'll be calling the doc on Monday.

I think I'm going to wait to test on Thursday at 11 dpo. I've been feeling very very down about this cycle and just fatigued from trying and nothing. I know people try for much longer than six months, so I should get it together, but given the huge move I'm in the middle of and everything else it's just weighing on me. I'm really kicking myself for not DTD after our main attempts, but we were both sick and so exhausted. I think being sick is also messing with my normally positive mindset too lol.
Can't wait for others to test! FX for lots of sticky positives this month!!

Does anyone have TERRIBLE hunger in the tww? I've been starving all day today - way more than normal!! Maybe it's the lack of sleep and stress and generally not feeling great about things that's making me want to eat but it's awful. Trying hard not to "symptom spot" b/c of it and I know it could also be higher progesterone making me so hungry, which could be just a result of the Clomid and not necessarily anything more. High progesterone causes hunger yea??

Yes ABC, I'm starving! May be the PMS symptoms too. Today I had red meat. I've been no red meat all week and then my MIL made beef strogonaoff for dinner. What do you do when that happens? This is my first real attempt at the LE diet.

Could be that your 1st PPAF wasn’t that Long ago, and your body is still adjusting ..the Clomid may not have done its thing because of that?
ABC, I had progesterone pessaries for my 3 girls, and not sure about hunger but tiredness for sure was a thing while on it. Since it mimics pregnancy symptoms , it’s not unreasonable that it could cause hunger!! Fx for you !!! The tww is terrible

I hear you all on the sleep problems too. Last night I got goid sleep but several of the nights last week sleep was not great, although in my case I think it was more me and DH than my 3 year old.
Temp still up. I don't know how many DPO or when I will start testing. Pbn thought FF was wrong in marking O.
Last night DH finally clarified why he is so depressed lately and it is half of what I feared. He is dreading having another pregnancy and baby, feeling like we have it good with 1 kid and that 2 will be overwhelming and depress him. He is willing to keep TTC in his resigned "it has always been too late for me to have the kind if life I really want" way. I kind of get his perspective- life is much easier with just one and focusing on your own joy when youve had a rough childhood is understandable- but mothering my son is probably the most joyful experience of my life and he seems to enjoy parts of parenting. There is a ticking clock here!. I hope to have another child, boy or girl (hopefully girl), and I am angry and sad that he always has to be like this about what could be joyful parts of life. I wish I had a partner who at least sometimes could share more joy about what I feel joyful about. And I don't feel i can go to him for support about TTC because of all this. I am grateful to you women for listening.

Gafan, I peeped in and immediate teared up reading this post. We just went through a similar season. My husband and I decided to put a time limit on our ttc journey and both of us are going through strong emotions. He is fine with never having another while I really wanted one more. After 3 miscarriages in a row, he voiced his concerns and they sound almost identical. I think we focus so much on how we are coping, feeling & dealing with ttc, that we easily forget their emotions, especially fears in the journey. We did get pregnant on this cycle and it is our last ttc cycle. So we both have big emotions. What really has helped us is talking through it. All of it. If we have a concern, we say it out loud. We are daily keeping up with how each of us is doing. It has helped us tremendously.

Welcome Cassidy!!
Noemi I hope O comes soon!!!
Pbn I know, colds suck right? My poor DS2 is on day 3 of this fever but it seems to be a viral/respiratory thing. I'm going to have to take him into the doctor tomorrow unless the fever is gone by then.
Emshe - My doctor is pretty specific... He says if the bleeding is anything more than spotting, even light bleeding, before 5 pm, count that as day 1. If it's just spotting or bleeding that starts after 5 pm then count the next day as day 1. I'm like you - I normally have a very light CD1 and then a heavy CD2. Hope that helps! So glad you're back with us trying again :)
Kitten FX for O to happen!
HG - I have no idea what to do about the hunger. I've never felt so hungry on LE as I did yesterday. It doesn't seem quite as bad today though. I don't know if you are doing the atomic fertility diet or not but on that version atomic actually recommends either beef or salmon once a week.
So I saw on FB today that a friend of mine is having a girl after 2 boys. I lost it. Like, full sobbing meltdown. I feel like so many people lately are having girls after having 1 or more boys and it feels like I'm the only one who will never have my daughter. I hate GD. I hate this process and all the crapload of work I've put into this over the past 14 months with nothing but three m/c's to show for it (and a bunch of weight loss I guess). I'm so fed up! :(
Really sorry for the vent... I know some of you feel my frustration well though.

Expecting AF every time i pee, but not there, and negative hpt. I think I'm 12 dpo and my LP is usually 10-12 days. I'll probably call the doc tomorrow and then get AF.

Hugs, ABC! And no need to apologize for venting. This is exactly the place for it. I have only been on the diet for about 5 mos now -much less than you- and I am tired of so much work trying to sway. All but two of my mom friends have girls (I assume with no swaying). I hope you get to have a girl soon.

Gafan, I peeped in and immediate teared up reading this post. We just went through a similar season. My husband and I decided to put a time limit on our ttc journey and both of us are going through strong emotions. He is fine with never having another while I really wanted one more. After 3 miscarriages in a row, he voiced his concerns and they sound almost identical. I think we focus so much on how we are coping, feeling & dealing with ttc, that we easily forget their emotions, especially fears in the journey. We did get pregnant on this cycle and it is our last ttc cycle. So we both have big emotions. What really has helped us is talking through it. All of it. If we have a concern, we say it out loud. We are daily keeping up with how each of us is doing. It has helped us tremendously.

Pbn, thanks. I appreciate your hope. I will try to wait until Tuesday to test. I know it could just be an off reading or an implantation dip but today's lower temp felt to me like confirmation that this isn't the cycle for me. I feel hungry and PMS irritable today. The temp could have been off because i got up 2.5 hrs earlier to pee. We will see what tomorrow's temp is.

Hi and welcome Cassidy [emoji847]
Did you do just one attempt at pos opk? What dpo will you test?!
Hi Everyone! I am currently in the tww, around 2dpo. I ovulated I believe on cd21. I’m not temping, just using opks. We didn’t intend to try this month, but here we are! I was planning to sway and start trying the end of summer/beginning of fall. Guess we will see what happens and if I will get a chance to properly sway!

Abc I hope ds2 is better today and won't need to go to the doctor. I'm finally feeling better today than I have the last four so hoping its onwards and upwards from here. Totally get your devastation at news of others getting their DG. Even seeing someone pregnant at the supermarket would bring up feelings of bitterness and unfairness. I had to keep reminding myself that I didn't know their story and they didn't know mine and who knew, maybe our stories were similar. It helped in some ways curb the jealousy to think this way. Not to say it always worked though. Just do the best you can to put it out of mind and focus on your own sticky bean that is just around the corner [emoji173]

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6d1f2cYeah I would hold off calling doc until a couple more days... that dip is pretty significant, even if you're in a cooler environment. Could be a pre o dip if you haven't oed, could be sign of af coming if you did.... have you got any opks with you?
Pbn3
May 20th, 2018, 09:02 PM
Gafan honestly I wouldn't even see that as a dip as such and certainly nothing to indicate an unsuccessful cycle. An implantation dip is usually a steep dip to close to or below coverline so it doesn't look like that but remember an implantation dip occurs less than more in charting. So more people don't see one compared to those that do. Your temp is still up nice and high and I see nothing negative there at all. It's looking really good actually but the next few days temps should shed more light hopefully one way or the other.

Hey ladies, just wanted to jump in here to say hi, I've kinda flipped through your stories in this thread and must say you all are very determined and well educated in regards to sway terms....Good luck to you all be it a pink or blue sway!
I'm a beginner (so to speak) at this variety of swaying, I had two daughters and followed shettles theory to have my son to my ex partner back in 2010. Now I'm with my current partner who already has a 3 girls of his own... call us crazy but together we're hoping to have a little boy (but will be happy either way , we just hope all goes well)
This time last year I fell pregnant but sadly that ended at 5 weeks as an ectopic pregnancy :( it's been a rocky road since then and we've been unsuccessful the last couple of cycles, I feel it is due to travel, Christmas/ New year stress etc. But alas I'm here in the tww going to test on Tuesday or Wednesday fingers crossed!
I don't temp, I don't really use opks, I just go by ovulation signs such as cp, cm and ovulation pains. Strangely this cycle my O was delayed by 6 days (confirmed by opk) and fell on my birthday! If successful this will be the best birthday present! I've been using natural family planning as birth control since 2004... and no surprise babies yet lol
Once again Good luck ladies!

I'm sorry for your loss and hope you concieved your sticky bean already [emoji3] Did you have multiple attempts? That's something very handy for swaying blue if you've just started looking at swaying. Most people trying to get pregnant automatically have multiple attempts so that would work in your favour [emoji6]

Gafan, thinking of you, it’s hard this ttc and keeping our thoughts as well as the families in check. My hubby has his moments too, so you’re definitely not alone, I’m sorry it’s so tough. Hoping this is it!
ABC the seeing others with what we have tried so hard for us SO HARD I sometimes wish I could just exist with my eyes shut because it seems to be all around. I feel for you, it sucks. I’m sorry you’ve had your doubts this cycle, but hopefully you’ll get lucky, & if not know you’ll feel more positivity be going into next month. Come on universe send some magic sticky baby dust for all these lovely ladies 🤞🏻[emoji1374]
HGMama hang in there, hope everything seems clearer soon, not knowing what’s going on is so mentally draining. Tomorrow might make things clearer.
Eighme, wishing you luck!
Welcome thunderstruck. Hope you get lucky, what a busy & fun adventure you guys must all have together. Look forward to following your journey!
Cassidy hi! I love all that you’re here unintentionally, it often comes with great success because it’s so carefree.
Noemi, had to giggle at the husband made me angry, I’ve had to bite my tongue & go with it a few times! At least it made it easier when I didn’t want to have a big O [emoji23]
Let this be your month, with a pretty pink swimmer catching that golden egg
Kikurose I hope you’re feeling better? Man moving must be rough, I hate packing and unpacking from a weekend away! Hope it’s going ok.
Kitten how are you!? Where are you cycle wise?
Hopeful how did you go?
PBN hope your much improved today?! And yes I agree going tonight, might be day 2 might be 3 but earlier better than later. Let’s get this party started. Just going to go with positive opk I think this month. Then there’ll be no second guessing attempts prior.
I’m hoping I haven’t missed anyone, find it hard on the phone. If I have, I’m sorry! So much baby dust & hope for all!

We certainly all do have a great time when we're all together, it doesn't happen often enough as 2 of his girls live 4 hours away.
Didn't get multiple attempts in this cycle as DH wasn't feeling 100% and we both had work commitments.... But I'm like you PBN I truly believe in signs like this. So I'm feeling really hopefully that this will be our sticky bean after 18 months of on and off trying 🤞 I'll keep you updated!

Just in case though remember to be prepared for af not to arrive until Friday... wishing you the very best result regardless which would be a bfp! Regardless which dpo you test (after 9dpo [emoji14])

Yes we did just the one attempt and it ended up being on +opk day! Oops lol! It was our anniversary and we got carried away lol
I got a positive pregnancy test with my last little guy on 9dpo I believe, so I think I will wait till then to test. As long as I can withstand the urge to test lol!!

The carried away attempts (or not so intended attempts, seem to be pretty lucky). My temp dropped further today and im cramping a little. But per pbn3 suggestion, i did a opk strip and it was midway dark. Darker than a couple days ago. So again, who knows what's going on!?!?! Are there tests my OB can run to figure it out?

Welcome Thunderstruck!! Good luck and sending you blue dust! (there is a LOT of it on this board LOL!)
Thanks ladies. After I wrote that post yesterday I went out shopping for some summer clothes as I have nothing that fits me (I'm about 30 lbs lighter than I was this time last year). I realized I've gone down another pant size to a size I never even DREAMED I would wear. So that perked me up a bit. Kinda makes me not want to get pregnant again and just stay skinny, LOL!
But yea - my GD is really strong now... Not just the desire for a girl but this overwhelming depression that it's never going to happen. It sucks :( But again, you ladies know how I feel and at least I have people to vent to.
Gafan are you testing tomorrow?
HG - Did you call the doctor today? If it were me I'd ask to be checked again & have tests run. This is just getting really odd! Maybe they could do a progesterone blood test to see if you've ovulated, or an ultrasound of your ovaries to see if there are follicles growing/close to ovulating. I don't know - I'm sure it's getting pretty frustrating for you not knowing what's going on!!

May 21st, 2018, 02:44 PM
Abc-
Yes, i called and just came to the thread to update. I think im more frustrated after the call. So nurse called me back and said wait 2 more weeks because its not uncommon for cycle to return to normal until 10 weeks. I explained that its like there is no cycle so im not asking for a normal cycle, just a cycle. I also explained that everything i read says 4-6 weeks and i already waited an extra two weeks. Then she said she doesnt know my dr.'s cutoff because she's on maternity leave now- which I was trying to avoid, but she must have delivered early.

HG - Yea that does sound frustrating. Is it just the one doctor in the practice or is there another doctor there who could see you? Yea my OB and my RE both told me 4-6 weeks after a miscarriage/D&C... 10 weeks sounds like a long time for things to return to normal. Hmm... :(

Hgmama your lh levels vary throughout your cycle. I used to get near pos opks just before af arrived. I'd keep doing the opks to see if they darken to a pos or see if it goes lighter again. That sucks your doc is on leave, is there someone else you can see?

I have definitely ovulated and oh my goodness sooo painful on clomid! Anyone else have severe o pains on clomid cycles?
Freaking out a bit as we had our attempt right at o- like within 12 hours- please talk me down from panicking that bd at o = boy! I need reassurance right now that timing does not matter. We had an o-4 attempt and 0 day attempt with the e4d pattern so not great odds for conception but officially in tww.

Well my willpower to wait failed. I'm 7, possibly 8 dpo today. It's faint but definitely there - even DH sees it easily. Not sure how it's possible or how I even feel about it right now. I've never had a positive this early.
I know we've had a lot of false positives on here lately - have any of them been on FRERs?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180522/60db7ba8a4412f2a583ca04a0a915cc2.jpg

Oh my gosh Abc!!! They do happen but very very rarely, Robin had one awhile ago and I know of a lady a couple years ago as well that had one. I had a pos at 8dpo like that with ds2. Clearly positive and certain on my dates so it's definately possible to get a bfp that early. Holding my excitement until you test again tomorrow though just to be annoyingly cautious. On the inside I want to scream "YES YES YES!" and wake the neighbours (we live on acreage) but they make think something else is going on [emoji12]

Fingers crossed SO hard for you. I'm pretty sure I got a bfp with DD that early, FYI!

Thanks ladies.... I think I'm mainly in shock right now that there is a line this early - I felt really stupid pulling out a FRER today. It's not even a squinter either...
Pbn.... I know FF says I'm 7 dpo, but thinking about it again and given this line (if it's not some super weird fluke false positive), I think I must be 8 dpo. I took my temp on CD 15 an hour earlier than normal, and if I go into FF and adjust that day's temp to make it even 1/10th of a degree higher (Fahrenheit), FF changes my O day from CD15 to CD14. I had a VERY strong +OPK at 2:30 on CD13 and a -OPK on the morning of CD14. Plus, I had no fertile CM on CD15 - was very dry. Maybe I O'd late on Monday evening or overnight, but do you think that makes sense? But even so... 8dpo is still really, really early....

Just looked at your chart abc and yes cd14 does seem likely according to opk and cm- well timed attempt btw! Did you have significant o pains on the clomid? Mine were crazy intense!
Congrats again I'm keeping you in my thoughts xx

May 22nd, 2018, 05:18 PM
Abc it's very possible and very likely o day is cd14!
ABC.2606
May 22nd, 2018, 05:21 PM
Kitten - ya know, this was my 4th cycle of Clomid (not consecutive) and the first 3 cycles I didn't notice any O pains (and I never, ever have O pains without medication), but this time I did have some pain down in that area around O - not really sharp but I just felt very bloated and "sore" down there, if that makes sense. And I'm pretty sure I felt that on CD14 b/c I remember that day and complaining to DH about it. Hmmm.... Yea I really think O must have happened on CD14... I believe I even came on here late morning on CD15 and said that I felt that I had already O'd given my CM.
And thanks :) It's hard to feel excited right now as we've been here 3 times before in the past 10 months, but we'll see what happens... Maybe in my case an earlier BFP will be a good sign.

Congratulations and good luck ABC!
At 3.30am this morning (Aussie time) 13dpo I got a no- on frer digital... never really use them before but looks like we're out this month which isn't surprising with a 6 day ovulation delay, stress and sickness! But then again it ain't over until AF shows up.

Just with the move I'm already emotional and seeing your line I'm fighting back tears!!! I know you had so many emotions this cycle and I'm sure you're super cautious right now, but I'm just feeling all that highs and lows with you right now. FX this is IT!
Thunder, I'm sorry, girl. Next month, fingers crossed. But I know how frustrating it is.

Definitely worried and consumed with a lot of thoughts and feelings right now... Hopefully this will be our healthy bean!

This gets me so excited to start testing! I have 7 "predicted" days until AF is supposed to arrive and I'm trying to hold out testing until the day after AF is due because I get test happy and run through them all before AF arrives. I'm trying to be good on testing this cycle!
