Thanks Pbn3!

Hi everyone :cheer: This is my first month swaying. I have one gorgeous little baby boy, 21 months, and am TTC pink this time around. I've been on the LE diet for 12 weeks, eat my first meal of the day at midday and have been running / hike for an hour a day for the past 3 months. BD 2 days ago and ovulated last night (I could feel the cramping). Excited to be in the TTC game again! Amazing how you go from desperately not wanting to get pregnant to desperately wanting a baby in your belly ASAP!

Excited to be on this journey with you x :noaf:

Hi, thanks pbn and fingers crossed you get your pink bundle this month Cookie! Will you test early or wait until AF is supposed to show up? I’m swaying pink also! DH and I have 2 precious boys who are 9 and 6. This is our 3rd and final [emoji30] baby. I’ve been on LE diet since September because originally we planned to have the first attempt in December then we found out we were going on a family ski trip this month so we postponed plus I started reading more and more about the cardio and don’t typically do it so I wanted some time to add that! So LE since Sept and cardio since Dec. AF arrived Friday, don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to see her because that meant it was finally time for the attempt(s) to start. So hoping it just takes 1 but I know swaying pink makes it a little more difficult! It will help talking to other ladies going through it though!

Yay Sonshinemomx2, so glad I'm not the only one starting their TTC sway journey this month! It took us 6 months to fall pregnant with our son, and we used Letrozole and Metformin the month we fell. I've been told to try naturally for a few months before my GP will give me the metformin and letrozole, so going ahead with that plan as I'm a bit scared of twins!

So I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I know it didn't happen straight away for us last time, but its pretty much impossible not to get your hopes up when TTC hey! Especially after swaying for 3 months. Baby dust to all of us!

It is really hard not to get your hopes up once you start TTC! At least if you do need the letrozole again it’s one of the best girl sway tactics! I know I’m crazy but I would LOVE twins. I’ve always wanted 4 kids, I come from a family of 3 brothers and me plus 4 half siblings so I always saw myself with a big family but I’m shocked DH agreed to a third. He even bought up the subject himself so just to have another baby I’m so excited but I thought well if we are going to have another I might as well at least try for a girl. Hoping it happens fast for you this time and it’s your little girl!!! I’ve had lots of friends who took a while, years even, with the first then went on to have pregnancies after either without trying at all or just trying a month or two!

Hi ladies,

I hope everyone is feeling well and pray for BFPs. I am nearing end of 2WW. I had brown spotting AGAIN day 21 this month and cramping. Thought AF was coming early like last month. But then it stopped. Now CD 24 I have tingly breasts and leaking white fluid from one side. So hard to not get my hopes up. My CP was in September so I’m hoping for a BFP since next month would be my last month to try (personal decision). Good luck to all. ❤️

Hi @Dreamofdaughter. Those definitely sound like promising symptoms! Have you decided when you'll test? When I was TTC my son I tested early for the first few months and then I would just wait for my temp drop on my BBT chart to know I was out for another month. I just found the stark white line on the pg test so disheartening, but I'm not sure what I'll do this month. As it's my first month TTC I might test early.

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I know if I stretch the truth with my Dr I can get Femara and Metformin and use that as part of my sway, but I'm not sure if I should, because my Dr recommended I try a few months without it first, and I'm scared of twins, and I think if we DO use it it might work first go for us (which it did last time), which would mean having a Christmas baby (or late November) and we would have family (visiting from interstate) around with a few week old baby (chaos). When my son was born I was very nervous about him being around other small children because he was immunosupressed (I'm on immunosupressants during pregnancy for Crohn's Disease) and there tends to be a lot of whooping cough around our area. BUT the other side is I'm worried if I DON'T use use the Femara I'm throwing my sway down the drain, or at least reducing my chances of DD significantly. We're only having 2 children, so this is the 1 and only time I will sway - I want to give it my all.

Ideally we'd like to have our new baby arrive in Jan / Feb / March next year, but now that I'm in TTC mode (and have been swaying, running etc for 12 weeks) I don't feel I can stop TTC. Oh, the conundrum! Maybe a Christmas chaos baby won't be so bad after all. Sorry for my rambling, just not sure if I should be booking in to see my Dr and get Femara next month and I'm scared if I fall preg or get an 'opposite' that I'll forever blame not having Femara / Metformin.

It does seem like pregnancy symptoms but given my age I can’t even get excited if I am PG because last time I had a CP. I’m going to test Sunday if I am late. (Af due Saturday). I am also tired of the stark white line!

Re: your conundrum- that’s tough. I understand the concern. I didn’t use Femara because of my age already being higher risk for twins and I know we can’t have 4. Three is our max.
But I would ask AS about the odds of twins on a lower dose. I feel like I have read the odds aren’t that high. The birth month concern is understandable but would family be helpful at all or would it be just most people to take care of?

Isn't it amazing how slow a fortnight can go when you're in the TWW - I forgot about that! I hope this is your sticky pink bean. My friend fell pregnant with her DD when she was on her last month of trying - it does happen and those do sound a lot like pregnancy symptoms, everything from the spotting and cramping to the fluid (I remember being super moist when I was early days pregnant with my son). Holding thumbs for you.

Yes I think you're right, I've made an appt to see my GP when AF is due, so I will talk to her about it then. I've heard differing things - I think the reason I'm worried about twins is that the obstetrician I saw with my first baby (who only sees pregnant / TTC women) was greatly relieved when we had our first scan and there was just the one heartbeat. He seemed to be worried about the risk of twins, so it must happen quite a bit. Not sure if my GP will have better advice / knowledge on it, but it can't hurt to ask.

Family might be useful at Christmas, but really when I have a newborn I just want to hop into my bubble and not see anyone. I turn into a truly antisocial, introverted Mama, just wanting to be alone with my little family and soak up every moment. I'd love to have my parents around to help with DS and if it's Christmas they'll be so busy hosting my sister and her family, it might just be a bit crazy. But I don't want to hold off, so the options are either to keep TTC without the Femara (lower chances of conceiving, higher chances of another DS) or run the gauntlet. Bah, I hate decisions! I'll let you know when I've spoken with my Dr. Thanks for listening :)

Good luck with your appt!
I understand wanting to just retreat with your family. I’m like that too. I just want to relish those early days. Nothing can replace the honeymoon phase of a family enjoying their new person!

Sending you lots of good wishes for a healthy pink bean and quick time TTC. I started the diet January of last year but first attempt was in April so I’m definitely getting to my place of peace and acceptance with whatever happens.

It's so hard when TTC takes longer than expected. It took us 7 months to fall pregnant with our DS; the month we fell was the first month we tried Femara, which makes me wonder if we actually need it to fall pregnant. I hope this is your month, how amazing would that be!

I feel you on the twins thing - I think I could handle it if it happened but I'd be sad that it would take away from my firstborn's experience - I can imagine you would have zero time for your older child if you had twins. And that would continue on throughout life, I'd feel he was the odd one out etc. So maybe it's best for me to at least try the next 2 cycles without the Femara. I might talk to Atomic and ask her if there have been LOTS of successful pink sways without Femara - there seems to be such an emphasis on it but apparently it only sways 3-5%.

I think it's a good idea to talk to AS and let her at least give you more information to make your decision. Ultimately, it is up to you but more info can't hurt!

So, I really felt like my breasts were heavy and that only has happened to me ONCE unless I was nursing and that was my CP. So I took a test today and this time it is not a squinter even though not due til weekend. I could see it turning right away. Last time, day before AF, my line was so faint it was hard to see and I thought maybe evaporated line so I am hoping this one sticks and is healthy. I guess it means that spotting at CD21 was implantation bleed. I'm not excited yet because I don't want to get ahead of myself. I need to see the HB first.

Well, similar to last CP, I woke up with no nausea and no sore breasts after several days of both. Not feeling super optimistic. :( Both times, I thought it was really weird to experience symptoms so early on (before even technically skipping a period). I wonder if it my body's way of saying something isn't right. Because with my boys, I didn't have symptoms until around 6 weeks...

Have you had blood tests again?
To check it’s rising? I have everything crossed it’s just a better day nausea wise [emoji1696]

You have had such good signs with the dark line on the test early and hcg rising Dreamingofdaughter, hopefully it’s just a good day for symptoms but I know it’s hard not to think otherwise after it has already happened once. Prayers for a sticky pink bean!

Cookie I think that’s a good idea dreaming had to ask Atomic for more information/thoughts on the Femera and metformin, just so you go in with all the information to make the best decision for you. If having twins would really, really upset you it makes it an even harder decision because that is always a chance. I’ve read such different stats on it though as far how often people actually have twins. I’ve seen as low as 10% and as high as 80%. The company I believe says 10% so if it were me and I didn’t want twins I would still take the chance with the low % on twins and the high % on swaying girl BUT that’s just me going off a stat I’m not completely sure is correct.

Hi everyone else, looks like we are starting to get a good number of Feb swayers, good luck everyone!!

Thanks for the post Hopeful!:heart:

Just got the results. They actually tripled in 48 hrs! 600 now at 3w6d but I think really it was 4w 2d based off possible Ov Oddly, my breasts don't really hurt anymore but the nausea seems to be limited to starting around 5pm and gets really bad right before bed. So weird! That being said, I feel off again this morning. I will just assume all good unless I see actual bleeding/cramping.

I did a first response pregnancy test this morning at 8DPO (might be 9DPO though according to when I had ov pains) and it was negative. Pulled the test apart and I can now see a clear second line? Freaking out!! And also kicking myself for not taking the Femara and Metformin, but I don't think I ever would have taken it 'first month TTC' - my plan was to take it next month. But what if I get an opposite now and forever kick myself for not taking the Femara (not even sure if I'm pregnant either!).

Atomic says its a 3-5% increase for the girl sway (so 70% without, 73-75% with) so the risk of twins is about equal to the sway percentage - you're about as likely to have twins as you are to have a girl sway (3-5%). Anyway, I'm quietly freaking out over here, will update when I POAS tomorrow.

I just did a digital test to see what's going on and it says not pregnant. I'll test again in the morning. I'd be convinced 100% that I'm not pregnant but that FMU test had a second faint line (when I pulled the test apart). I'm 8DPO today so we'll see.

Hey, I know we haven’t posted much in here but I thought I’d see if anyone was still checking it!! We had our 1 attempt Sunday! So excited to test when its time but I have been struggling with what to do. I wanted to wait and see if AF showed then test, we have a family trip next week and I wanted to just enjoy that and focus on my boys but I am having a hard time sticking to LE diet, especially no breakfast, during the TWW. If I tested and got a negative it would be easy to go back to it so now I’m thinking of testing early! I mean even if it was too early and it was a false negative at least the mental part would help!! Anyone else have a hard time dieting during the TWW?!?

Yes hopefully we all get BFPs this month and get to join the due date group together and can snack whenever we want, haha! Low protein is hard for me because I have eaten a low carb high protein diet for about 17 years up until starting the LE diet! I miss eggs and steak! I did lose 10 lbs on the LE diet though which I always thought I could only do on a low carb diet. The funny thing is until the last 2 lbs no one, even my husband and parents, noticed I had lost weight then all of a sudden after those last 2 they started saying I looked too thin and was waisting away.

Lyagirl - hi and welcome, I think a few of us are around 7dpo. I haven't really felt anything other than lower back pain and a few niggles here and there.

4blue2pink - :wave: how are you? My youngest Hugo is 9 months now, he is an absolute delight. We are doing a little sway nothing too major. Although this month I ovulated over a week late so had to throw in another attempt. But hopefully it still worked out at just once in fertile window. I see you expecting, when are you due? I'm soooooo broody it's unreal... Lol

Also was meant to be 1 attempt in fertile period. I O'd a week later than expected so think our attempt was a 2.5 - 3 day cut off. But the attempt earlier in cycle would be well out of fertile window due to late ovulation :fingers:

Hi @Dreamofdaughter. Those definitely sound like promising symptoms! Have you decided when you'll test? When I was TTC my son I tested early for the first few months and then I would just wait for my temp drop on my BBT chart to know I was out for another month. I just found the stark white line on the pg test so disheartening, but I'm not sure what I'll do this month. As it's my first month TTC I might test early.

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I know if I stretch the truth with my Dr I can get Femara and Metformin and use that as part of my sway, but I'm not sure if I should, because my Dr recommended I try a few months without it first, and I'm scared of twins, and I think if we DO use it it might work first go for us (which it did last time), which would mean having a Christmas baby (or late November) and we would have family (visiting from interstate) around with a few week old baby (chaos). When my son was born I was very nervous about him being around other small children because he was immunosupressed (I'm on immunosupressants during pregnancy for Crohn's Disease) and there tends to be a lot of whooping cough around our area. BUT the other side is I'm worried if I DON'T use use the Femara I'm throwing my sway down the drain, or at least reducing my chances of DD significantly. We're only having 2 children, so this is the 1 and only time I will sway - I want to give it my all.

Ideally we'd like to have our new baby arrive in Jan / Feb / March next year, but now that I'm in TTC mode (and have been swaying, running etc for 12 weeks) I don't feel I can stop TTC. Oh, the conundrum! Maybe a Christmas chaos baby won't be so bad after all. Sorry for my rambling, just not sure if I should be booking in to see my Dr and get Femara next month and I'm scared if I fall preg or get an 'opposite' that I'll forever blame not having Femara / Metformin.

Hey cookies good luck if you used them for your son i probably wouldn't worry going without this time! New baby and lots of family around ( to help?) Maybe good xxx

I would say not, it doesn’t look dark enough .
It looked like a surge was starting but backed off. Or it could be my phone and I can’t see them properly.
Are they as dark as the control line ? Are you taking temps?

Hello all, I'm in the tww and I remember the torture from last time!
I have two boys 4 & 18months and TTC pink.
It took 7 months to conceive my second son and have just had my first attempt after 13 weeks on LE diet.
I took clomid and do 30mins cardio in the morning before food ( as it's meant to burn fat straight away)

I have already caved and poas and it was negative 8dpo
don't have any symptoms so I'm feeling like i'm out
I can't remember when I tested last time, maybe it's too early.

I thought i'd be ok and not assess every twinge but it's so so hard!
I am also finding the diet really hard, ive been pretty good so far but the TWW has made me super hungry and unmotivated! anyone else?

Congrats on the BFP, so exciting!

Our cycles must be exactly the same Im 8 dpo! Im not even going to test if af is late yay il test if not il leave it as i find seeing a negative test more upsetting...Least af means ok i can try again in a week or so 😂 are you taking clomid for swaying?

Sonny - you are not out until AF arrives, with my last son I got positive at 7dpo and this cycle was poas and so disappointed when it was bfn I thought I was out too but yesterday at 10dpo I got my first positive on frer and this morning I see it on a cheapie test.

Might be too early, maybe give it a couple more days . Symptom spotting happens to all of us, no matter how hard we try [emoji4]

Are you eating enough? Sometimes being under your cal can make you peckish, and of course all the hormonal shifts.

We must be on the same cycle Nell!
I'm taking clomid for swaying, although after getting AF back after my second son my periods were all over the place, ranging from 28-36 days. It was my first month taking clomid and my static smiley was on day 14 so it worked quite well.

nothing major, very noticeable ovulation pain, we dtd the night before so hoping it worked.
I don't have any preg symptoms so i don't really think it worked this month.

Have you taken Clomid? I feel like i'm getting twinges and a heavy feeling but I also think I'm probably looking too hard for symptoms.
It could be a side effect of the Clomid I guess!

fingers crossed we get our BFP can't to EEEEEAT lol!

I'm concerned about the times you are testing though as generally dip tests are best used between 1-3pm and again between 6-8pm if you are wanting to test twice. Did you get instructions with your opks?

Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using TapatalkPlease do as those are honestly the best recommended times to catch your peak lh surge and I can confirm that with personal experience. I would get a clear negative at say 11am (when I madly tested 3 times a day [emoji23]) yet would get my strong pos between 1-3pm [emoji2368] not everyone is the same of course, but I'd strongly recommend testing at the most used times as previously discussed. If you don't get a proper pos doing this, you may fall into the 'dont get quite a full on pos opk' group. I honestly think though its likely you would have got a proper pos cd14 or 15 if taken at the right time, which would correspond with your reported o pains.

Hi everyone! I’m currently in my 2ww. But however I finally got a visible (ish) very faint bfp on frer yesterday (thought I did a couple days earlier,but was an indent).
I had my positive opk on the 11th (cd16) and it faded out on cd17. And i had some spotting yesterday that was light pink that I’m very unsure of.
My husband came home on the 11th from Afghanistan where he works...but I’m almost worried I’m having a chemical pregnancy again. My lines don’t get darker really. But I’m going to wait til Monday to test again and in hopes it turns out good. *fingers crossed*.
I did not mention to my husband I was ovulating when he came home or that I took a pregnancy test yet. But at this moment I kinda want to stick to myself with it all first to make sure everything goes well. Then I’ll surprise my husband in June when he comes back home for a visit again. (He only comes home every three to six months). I was trying to sway girl but I screwed that all up tremendously the last week before O, so I’m sure this time failed lol
I really hope and pray for everyone to get their BFPs this month and babies to come!!! [emoji846]

That's so sweet! Congratulations HL! I i hope you get your baby girl 💗

Praying can you post a pic of your faint bfp? I went through a stage of getting 'ghost' frer lines and found others who had the same but haven't seen it for a long time now. Chances are if you've had a few it is a chemical ([emoji17] hugs)

The top was taken around 6pm 2/23. And the bottom i literally just took so I wasn’t showing a older test.

I hope it turns out well! Keep ua posted. So am i right you would be due af now too if you don't get a pos preg test?
That must make things so hard to conceive only seeing dh a few times a year? Big hug x

My app says my af is due the 26th. And we honestly can’t 100% ttc since he is always gone. So getting pregnant is a far chance for us when he only comes home for 12 days each time. We just got lucky that I ovulated the day he came home this time.

Praying how many dpo approx would you be? Those are definitely not ghost lines, they have colour. You're 4 or 5? days away from af due, did I read that right??!! Your tests resemble what I'm used to seeing at 8 & 9dpo so ot may not be a chemical after all. I just assumed you were further dpo along when you said the line wasn't getting darker over several tests. My apologies for not knowing, I only skim through this site nowadays and your post stood out at me.

I’m 12dpo today.
I got my first positive opk on the 11th (cd16) in the morning and it faded to negative (cd17).

My app that I track my periods says my period is supposed to start in 2 days.

So with the tests being so light it’s making me wonder if it’s a chemical pregnancy since I start af in just two days.

I had some really light pink spotting on the morning of 10dpo but that was gonna by 11dpo.

The tests definitely have color, the lines are just a squinter though so vvvvf. But I’ll test again tomorrow or Tuesday when af is due and see where I stand. But I’m going to try going to my dr office tomorrow and see if they’ll draw blood this week for hcg.

My last test shown was taken this morning at 3am

I’ll be taking another test when I wake up in the am. Fingers crossed lines start getting darker! It’s making me a nervous wreck. I’m the only one who knows (besides you guys of course) and it’s just not the progression I’m liking to see on the tests so far. But will update in the AM! [emoji846]

Well I took two tests this morning (13dpo) with smu and they are a tad darker but I also started spotting again as if period is coming. It’s should come on tomorrow my calendar says. So I have no idea what’s going on. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190225/5e9163dec38ef0e3e9c92e42f578c292.jpg

Congrats Happy, cute announcement!! Praying, today’s tests look like they are getting darker! Hope they just keep getting darker and the spotting is just normal spotting!

I resisted testing almost our whole vacation but went ahead at 12 DPO and got a light BFP! I’m still kind of in shock and a little nervous about how light it is but so excited!!

Looks like we got a lot of new posts while I was on vacation [emoji177][emoji170] praying for lots more bfp’s and all of our desired genders!!

I had some light pink spotting on 10 dpo. And some today. So I’m not sure what it is.
I’m going to take another test tomorrow around the same time and see what happens. And if it’s not much darker then I’m going to stop testing and let whatever is happening takes its course. Since it’s stressing me out.
The 2ww is a monster for sure! Haha I wish I had never tested so early.

Congratulations soshinemom! That's a fantastic line for a 25miu test! (In comparison, frer can detect levels from about 6.5miu up, if you took an frer it would be substantially darker)

I’m preparing for the worse. For some odd reason ever since before our 3rd baby, we miscarried in between each kid. Before the 3rd..twice. We haven’t had a miscarriage after our last child yet, as he’s also still very young. But I have a bad feeling it’s not looking good. But still praying everything goes well.

And I thought about calling my dr office to schedule for bloods but then thought why am I going to waste anyone’s time if it doesn’t turn out well. So I’m going to wait a week or two then go from there possibly.
I’m planning on testing one more time with another frer in the morning and see what happens with that. But thank you!

My smu this morning 14dpo. It’s definitely darker and came up a ton fast than the others. But I had red bleeding this morning as well. (Two dIme size spots). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190226/6bb57892aad49e55a95496d988a7c223.jpgSo I think my best option is to get bloods done and just go from there I suppose. I’m done buying tests and I also came down with the flu that’s killing me it feels [emoji58]

Those lines look much darker praying!! Hoping it was just early for the first tests!

Thanks PBN, I was wondering what other tests miu thresholds were. This is the only one I’ve ever seen it printed on like that, I’m a nurse and those are the tests we use to check for pregnancy before surgery so I assumed they were the same as the most sensitive you can buy! The hospitals need to invest in some frers!!

Thank you Nell, I took a couple more and they are definitely getting darker!! I hope the next couple of days pass fast and you can hurry up and get the TWW over with! Fingers crossed you get a BFP!

Unfortunately...mine is ending in a early miscarriage. My numbers were only 37 today. That’s super low for 16dpo, esp when I was tracking my ovulation with tests.

I hope you have have healthy pregnancy’s or get your bfp’s soon!!!
