Can I talk to you about my BFP?

[californiadreaming]

There's nobody around to talk to and I feel like I'm going to explode

I'm pregnant after a miscarriage before I even had my next period.

I began my girl sway all over again last week and then found I was pregnant 4 days into this new sway

My last sway was awesome and I was gutted when I miscarried - I stopped LE diet and cardio when I got my other BFP, then miscarried, then it was the holidays and seemingly I conceived at New Years (which was not the plan, as I worked so so hard on swaying)

So total time off sway (eating boy style in a big way for the holidays) was 5/6 weeks up to conception or 7-8 weeks from first BFP to second BFP if you want to look at it that way.

I'm going to have another boy, aren't I?

If it's relevant, we only DTD once in this whole time, so at least we only did one attempt, we were super relaxed on a mini-break and drinking cocktails (but not tons), J&D and I *think* close to ovulation.
However, our calories were through the roof (and I mean crazy through the roof) and I'd been a couch potato for 4-5 weeks

Although I'd lost around 22-24lbs last year, I put on 7lb in between the first BFP in late Nov and the miscarriage/new conception in late Dec, so my body obviously was getting lots of signs that food was in plentiful supply

I'm so happy to be pregnant as the miscarriage was so sad, but I'm gutted that I worked SO hard on my autumn sway and it didn't matter anyway

Anyone had a similar experience or want to chat? Any opinions very welcome x

Well miscarriage sways girl by a lot and since you got pregnant with one attempt immediately after your miscarriage, I think you still have a really good chance at hearing girl! My best friend had 3 miscarriages last year (after conceiving her boys easily) and gave up swaying completely and even gained weight and had completely stopped exercising. They BD almost every day so she had 3 attempts in her fertile window. Well, she is currently 24 weeks pregnant with a girl!!! FX for you!

How long were you on the LE before your first BFP? How long did you do cardio?

Congrats on the BFP! It sounds like we Oed around the same time.

Thank you for the encouragement essnce

Maiden, I was on LE for around 13 weeks and before that I'd been on another diet for 3 months. I did 13 weeks of intense cardio at the same time as LE diet... but nothing since 1 December...
did you get a BFP too?x

[maidentomother]

I think you have quite a good shot at a girl personally. I definitely think losses sway pink significantly.

I got a BFN when I tested 2 days ago...so probably not. I may test again tomorrow depending on my temp and symptoms. Otherwise I'll try to wait until 15DPO to test again. Since I had fertility drug injections I've no idea when to expect AF. I've had a lot of cramps though and I've never had them before when pregnant, plus my one attempt was badly timed so not too optimistic. I'd love to have a DD buddy though...

Congratulations on your pregnancy first!! Well I can only comment on my experience but I was swaying a good 6-8 months with definite cheats along the way. I had been TTC for over a year already and it wasn't happening so I basically stopped swaying, would do LE here and there and exercised here and there as well for about 3 months before I conceived and I had a few attempts (at least 2) in my fertile window and I finally ended up with my BFP and Harmony says its a girl!! So please don"t rule your self out. It sounds like you made significant changes and your body I am sure will recognize that. Good Luck and prayers for a sticky pink bean!!

Maiden I was getting BFNs two days ago! Got BFP last night... you're definitely in with a chance for a few more days yet

Thank you DJ - I have no idea how I'm going to get to late-April/early-May to find out... and that's even if it sticks. The waiting is torturous

[maidentomother]

My one attempt was 6 hours AFTER I Oed... not very good odds. But maybe I had better eggs (4 released) so at least one lived longer than usual?

So you think you are 12dpo? I'm 11dpo, makes me want to test now arghhhh!

[californiadreaming]

I think maybe 12dpo +/- a day as I don't actually have a LMP to work off, only the miscarriage which started on 17/18 Dec

Worth mentioning that yesterday morning I got BFN on internet cheapie and a strong BFP on FRER later the same day...

[maidentomother]

How many hours between your negative cheapie and BFP FRER? Was the cheapie a squinter or stark white?

Well I tested at 9dpo with a random German cheap strip, supposedly 20miu sensitivity (their OPKs are decent, so probably they aren't too bad) and a 10miu sensitivity SurePredict (the next best test after FRER) and neither had even an evap, completely stark white with no hint of a line wet or dry. Same urine.

I am a bad urine tester, I don't get positive OPKs etc. So just have to wait, sigh.
