Well it's nearly Christmas and I can't think of a better present than a pink sticky bean! How is everyone doing?
I think I am about 5DPO so not too long to wait to test!

I agree! It would be a wonderful Christmas present! I'm 9DPO and had a Walmart ER test calling my name this morning, BFN :( But I know it's also way early, so we'll see.
This is only our second month TTC, so I'm trying not to get discouraged, but I honestly thought I would be PG right off the bat. Our boys just kinda happened (one was bad timing, the other a messed up BCP cycle), so I figured if we were actually doing it on purpose it would happen right away. It also doesn't help that our good friends (the type of friends that seem to do everything we do) are suddenly PG with their 3rd after DH couldn't keep quiet about us trying for #3 :(
FX for lots of Christmas BFP's!
hey i'm 9dpo too, bfn yesterday :fx: really ready for it now and diet not so good this month!
You sound just like me in that our two boys happened just because we decided to start trying. First month TTC both times. This time round we started the LE diet in Sept and sort of tried in Oct but as my cycle went weird on me we basically missed the fertile window by a week so I'm not sure I'd count that month as "trying" really! ;)Quote:

How are you doing with the diet in the 2ww? I've been sticking to the calories but allowing slightly more fat and protein within that as I'm so hungry!
That's so early so fingers crossed. I'm planning on waiting till AF is due to test but who knows if I will!Quote:

Hey chicks,
Hoping everyone gets their wish for Christmas this year!
I'm at 6dpo and likely testing on Friday at 11dpo before my holiday party- we'll be riding coasters and having a cocktail or two if no bfp. At this point I feel like I'll get pregnant at some point, but trying to stop thinking every month that this is my month.
I am in the 2ww (big sigh). Me and DH got carried away a couple of days ago and we BD on O day. I haven't been swaying and wasn't planing on it for a couple more months. I already feel like I am prego which is completely ridiculous but that probably shows how mental I am. Not sure when I should test and if I am pregnant part of me will probably be disappointed because I didn't do ANY kind of sway. I know that I shouldn't be thinking like this because there are so many people out there that can't get pregnant on their own but I can't help that part of me feels this way. Another part of me really does hope that I am pregnant and would be happy with another boy. I can't really share these feeling with anyone else so I am sharing them here hoping there are other people out there that understand the way I feel :worry:.
I think we all feel mental on here! It's a great place to vent and share. I'm lucky that I can talk to a few about swaying but not in the detail we do on here as I don't want them to think I am obsessed! Which I am obviously ;)Quote:

hey all will be joining you in here ;-( af arrived today
Does anyone have a good link/thread for when to start testing? I have the in the mail cheap tests and I have EPT. Just wanting some advice so I can stop driving myself crazy and put a date on when to start testing. Thanks weeziewoozles for the response!! I don't have anyone in my "real" life I can talk to about this.

You are so much better than I am at waiting!! I have been doing a lot of reading on here and it does seem like people are getting positives 8dpo so that is when I will start testing (I am a psycho like that). It is going to be hard for me to wait until then. I am a little anxious probably because both of the DS I have now only took one time and we weren't really trying with them... again just got a little carried away. I knew with DS2 that we BD when I was having O pain. This time I had O pain earlier that day.Quote:

I may not actually manage the wait though! I bought some early tests last time so have a couple left still, Clear Blue and First Response I think. I also used cheapies last time but not sure if I have any left. If I do I will probably use all of them too - the more the merrier!Quote:

FX for you!! Let us know when you start testing. Saturday will be 8 dpo for me so that is when I will probably start (well, probably 7 dpo:))Quote:

Do you feel like you are pregnant? You are right either you have implanted or you haven't at this point. Go with what your gut feeling is!! Did you cave and test today??Quote:

So I went for gluttony, well not gluttony of my usual standard but definitely ate more than I have since August! About 2000 cals where I've been having 1800. Felt soooooo full after.Quote:

You should test tomorrow!! Please keep me updated on the results!! FX for you!!
I know it's not over until AF rears her ugly head but I'm pretty sure I'm out :( My period app says I'm due today, but for the the last 6 months I've been very regular, starting every 4th Friday, which would be tomorrow, but I feel cramps brewing :( I've taken 3 FRER starting at 9DPO and all BFN...I was really hoping for a Christmas BFP!
Sorry to hear that!!Quote:

Well AF came today :( On to month #3...I should be ovulating a few days before Christmas. DS2 was conceived on Christmas day in 2007 so maybe it's good luck ;)
Definitely sounds like good luck :)Quote:

I used rephresh 24 hrs before so not sure what to think. The chances are probably not that high.

Here I am again, in the 2ww. I think my O came last night or right as we speak, but either way, we are done with our attempt and now have the very very long wait. I feel good about my chances of getting pregnant, but getting a girl is a whole different story. I did't use anything as far as douche or rephresh goes when we DTD last night (all other times DTD during this cycle I used vinegar douche) then about 20 min after DTD last night (24 hours after my last douche) I used rephresh so we DTD this morning (9 hours after using rephresh) and now we are done, We might DTD tonight just in case, but I think O is over so it really will be more for fun. We tried to do FR but because of DH schedule it didn't work out to well and I think as far as when and how often we DTD it might sway blue. My diet was no where near as strict as it was last month because I couldn't afford to lose anymore weight (BMI is at 16.6) but I did do well with my supps and started drinking Pep tea, which I actually really like! So hopefully I get lucky and a pink bean sticks this time, as I think this might be my last attempt!
Hi all. I'm day 3 post O and already feeling pretty inpatient with the 2ww! We completely messed up our attempt this month. Every month I usually O CD18 to 20 so when we BD CD12,13,14 I didn't think anything of it and did not douche/replens/antihistamine. Then out of nowhere I O'd completely unexpectedly on CD14! Feeling very nervous about it all-likelihood of pg probably pretty high but no so great for a pink attempt!?! I already have a DS and very much hoping for a pink bean! Will be joining you here anxiously for the next 10 days xx
Joining you ladies! I am waiting for cross hairs on my chart from FF but I am pretty sure I ovulated Thursday and my temps have gone up the past days. The frequency/timing part got a little messed up and we ended up doing it on CD 8, late on day 13 because I thought my OPK was positive and then I actually got two days of very positive OPKS on day 14 and 15. So I got nervous and we BD'ed last minute on day 16 which was the day of O. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle so am happy I ovulated pretty much on time. I had more EWCM than I usually do but I took Zyrtec. I feel like my chances of conceiving are higher since we DTD on the morning of O but I also feel like I swayed boy now. Guess we'll see if I am pregnant first. It is going to be a long 2 weeks. But I will be glad to know if I am pregnant before Christmas as we are traveling. Good luck to you all!
It sounds like there are a few of us who feel like we might have messed up timing/frequency and swayed blue, lets hope that some :pinksperm: make it threw for us!!! I am only hours past O so this is going to be a long 2ww I'm happy to be in good company with great ladies!!!
I feel your pain ladies!! I am 8 dpo after an "oops" night. That is how my last two DS were conceived with DH so I am feeling very very nervous even though I got a BFN this morning with FRER!! :fx: for all of us
BMI 16.6 that's v low, I can see your point but I hope it sways pink for you this month. I am BmI 19 so I still have couple of months to go but that would be it. After 7 weeks dieting I lost 8 pounds and now I am less strict with it which is not ideal.Quote:

To be honest, this is only our 2nd cycle ttc and I am already loosing motivation as far as the diet goes. I really want too keep it up, because I think there is something to it, but like I said, it really isn't an option for me to lose anymore weight. I am not a meat eater anyway, so it is easy for me to cut the meat out completely and to skip breakfast, but after that, I think I'm just gonna eat what I normally would but cut out things like raman noodles, chips, and salty popcorn (which used to be staples in my diet). I can't believe you have done this diet for 7 weeks, so many of you ladies amaze me!!Quote:
