Hi Ladies - Moving over from June and thought I'd start the July thread. I'm eager to get on with my next cycle! For new TTCers, I just had a CP last cycle and am around cycle day 5 now. I hope July brings us many, many BFPs!

Hi Ladies - Moving over from June and thought I'd start the July thread. I'm eager to get on with my next cycle! For new TTCers, I just had a CP last cycle and am around cycle day 5 now. I hope July brings us many, many BFPs!
I'm on CD3! Who knows how long my cycle will be this time let alone when I'll ovulate, hahaha!!
I bought some Wondfo opks and will confirm with a CBD (pink ones with smiley face). I'll also resume temping once AF leaves.
I'm hoping to learn more about what my body is doing and when. If it stresses me out, I'll stop. I'm aiming for a chilled sway this time. I was too uptight and control-freaky last time I swayed!
FX and GL! I'm hoping July brings more BFPs!!

My Ovulation Chart
I am currently on CD 12 and this is our second month trying. Should be getting positive OPK tomorrow so likely BD tomorrow night! I took Clomid (50 mg) again CD 3-7. I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get a BFP last month as I had a super strong ovulation due to the Clomid and we got pregnant first cycle with DS. Dropping a few of my sway tactics that we did last month (no more daily release or hot shower prior) and will try to lay down for 10 minutes instead of 5 after BD. Hoping that does the trick!
CD4 for me after 2 chemical pregnancies back to back the last 2 cycles. Taking 7.5mg of Femara days 3-7, and Gonal F injections days 8-11 this cycle, first time using injectables so hoping they help get me my BFP after 15 months of TTC.
Hi everyone, I'm CD5 today. Have been ttc for a long long time, I sure hope to get pregnant soon, feels like I'm growing old here... good luck to us all

Am in unfortunately, cd 4 today. There is a jolly Julu thread, should we try to join the threads! Am feeling really discouraged after having pretty spot on timing last month and no pregnancy. Back on diet and exercise full tilt, I should o between 12 - 15 of this month, bring on the bfp' s x
Oh Grace! I am hoping and praying you get your BFP! Am I right in thinking you are swaying blue? I too have been around awhile and usernames are starting to blur, hahaha!

Gotcha! See, I'm glad I asked!
I sure hope it goes our way this time around! It would just make my DH's day to have a DD!

I'm in. CD6 today, really losing my nerve over ttc with all it entails as I'm borderline heading for an eating disorder with binging. I'm carrying on for the time being but I'm not sure how much longer I can go on for :/ sorry for the downer.
Let's hope July really is jubilant!!!x
I hear ya! I feel like I'm sliding toward anorexia. I'm not there, but it's worrisome just how long I can go without eating or how little actually can satisfy me now :/

My Ovulation Chart
Hi all. I'm 8-9 dpo. AF is due Sunday/Monday. Had some twinges & light cramps yesterday but otherwise feel completely normal. May test with Ic tomorrow & then frer the next day.
Have put on more weight this week, yuk so trying to watch what I'm snacking on.
My parents had all 3 kids for a couple of days & the time without them made me start thinking a bit how I will cope with another one & how DH & I will not have any time together without the kids. My youngest is over 3 now & so independent. Wondering how I would cope with a newborn & the sleepless nights & trying to run the household too. My DH doesn't help out much (he does cook on weekends though which is wonderful) so it is all up to me when it comes to cleaning, washing, making lunches etc. We have a farm so DH is busy most weekends & he has his own business that keeps him busy throughout the week. Then I think about the love & joy another child would bring & I would still feel disappointed if I get a bfn this cycle.

I totally get what you guys are saying, I have went from obese to now lower end of healthy weight for my height, if I keep weight loss going I will soon be underweight. Am amazed how little am eating, compared to what I was. I ran six miles today on a salad, everyone is commenting on how inspirational my weight loss is, no one knows we are trying for another baby, my mum is starting to comment that am losing too much weight! I really hope I get a bfp this month, good luck to you all, looking forward to this journey with you all! X
It is looking most likely I will be hanging out here this month. AF is due on the 1st but I had a BFN today and am starting to spot. Moving on to cycle 3 of clomid.
I'm joining you all. Had planned to take 6 months off but after a few chats with OH we are trying one more month! So hello everyone :)
Its only our 4th month (which I know is nothing) but we are starting to worry a little especially as most people swaying blue fall quick due to increased fertility. Were doing a whole 10 yards sway and worst part is no caffine or alcohol for us both but now were about 15 weeks in its become easier. Worst parts are amount of weight I have gained. Hubby gained a little but nothing compared to me, I'm the heaviest I have ever been even when 9 months pregnant! So I'm envious of you all becoming slight. I cant wait to crash diet, I never thought I would say those words!
I'm cd 3 and this is a very heavy period, worst I can remember, so hoping that might be a good sign for this month. Not sure I OV last month as my CB digi went straight to peak after 4 days of low on day 14, I had a+ on my other at same time and we bd that day, next morning and next night. Still think we were late again (missed month before by about 1 day). This month as soon as OPK even start to darken going to bd every day from then on. Also back to temping this month but its not reliable at all for me. Ive also cut green tea to one cup a day (from 3), stopped EPO, upped cough meds and stopped messing with ions over last few weeks so this sway is a little lighter, but not much.
Hope everyone is well and I'm hooing to see a lot of BFP this month, glad I'm here one more month with familiar faces xx
I'm sorry purple I hoped you would have snook in with a bfp. I took clomid with my first. I suffered terribly with side effects, I hope your managing ok. If we don't fall this month we will be trying clomid again probably if we restart in January. Sadly as we have 3 kids any help we need will now have to be self funded.
got everything crossed farmgirl, you might be the first BFP. I know what your saying and I think any BFN is crap wherever you are. It was only our 3rd month and I was gutted, but I keep telling myself theres people waiting who have been trying over a year so I try to put that into perspective x
Good luck baby2016! Sending loads of blue dust your way xxx

Glad to see you back this month baby2016baby, good to have another blue sway around here. It seems like it's all girl swayers :) although I follow the blue sway since it makes you more fertile I would be happy with a boy or a another girl, after 15 months I just want to be pregnant with a healthy sticky bean. It is getting really old trying month after month but I really don't want DD to be an only child, that is what keeps us going.
Aww I know you've had a rough few month tfahn. I can't imagine 15 months down the line. I feel your pain on the cp as I had 2 chemicals before my first (one was on honeymoon got bfp then af 5 days later) and they hit you hard. I hope you get bfp soon. I'm guessing with the meds your seeing an ob. Have they suggested why you've had two chemicals? I think mine were lining issues as after them my af was quite light.
I can't help but think how easy I got pregnant in past (3live, 3mc) when barely trying. Then you bloody give it all you have and nature plays cruel games. I hate this ttc lark I really do x
Right now the CP's are unexplained, 3 in 5 months. They ran a recurrent miscarriage blood panel, like 6 tubes of blood, and everything came back as normal. I am now taking progesterone supplements in the 2WW so lining should not be an issue I wouldn't think. Hopefully one of these times the baby sticks. The only thing I can think of is late implantation possibly so the egg isn't as healthy but not much you can do to control that. :)
Good to see you giving it another try baby2016. Goodluck! I'm lucky the symptoms from clomid haven't been too bad. My main issue was being really sore and tender at ovulation time but it wasn't as bad the last 2 cycles. Maybe because I took it earlier, the worst was when I took it cd6-10 last year.
Tfahn, I have my fx for you that it will happen soon. It took us 12 months for DS2 and that felt like forever. It has been longer this time but I think if I can't have a 3rd I will accept it more than not having a 2nd.
I technically set my deadline to stop trying after this cycle but I will see how I feel. I might just do a non clomid cycle after this next clomid one. I just don't know how to give up on the dream yet.
Hi everyone. DH and I will be attempting during the first week of July. I'm on CD7 now. I've done a light girl sway. Starting to get nervous! [emoji46]
Hi ladies! I'm getting nervous about attempting this month mostly bc DH hasn't officially given the go-ahead. He's been back and forth so dang much and also stressed about money lately. I'm worried his stress will go into overdrive if I get pregnant right away. I'll see how things go, I won't push too hard. Not yet anyway ��
I'm waiting for AF to arrive which should be tomorrow or Friday. I'll start my OPKs by the end of next week. Just have to pick up another pack or two. I never got a positive last cycle so I'm skeptical but I will try again.
Hello everyone I am trying to sway blue, I almost thought I was the only one trying to sway blue. I tried in June and thought for sure I was pg, but the AF showed up and lasted 6 whole days longest ever my periods usually only lasts 4 days, has that happened to any of you boy swayers? So really wanted to just hide in my room and cry like a big baby. Well I won't be trying in JulyQuote:

We have been planning ttc since before March, but wanted to wait until June so I could start tracking ovulation, and also stop breastfeeding my two-and-a-half-year-old. So back to temping in the morning and eating so many times a day and testing for ovulation. Think I'm going to try and make it a little less stressful this time, I think I drove myself and the hubby half crazy the last time. So I hope to follow you other blue swayers on your journey and hope to see them bfp from you girls!! Good luck to you all
i did read somewhere that blue swayers tend to see longer cycles/heavier periods while pink swayers sometimes see shorter cycles/lighter periods. It's not necessary to be successful of course but I think it's a good sign that your body chemistry is changing! I'll gladly send you all the blue dust I have! :bluecheer:Quote:

Since I had my d s 2, there has only been one other boy born to a family member, friend or colleague and countless girls, I just wish I did not care, my dh just does not get it, his stock response is " but we have a daughter ", guess am feeling hopeless about July's attempt. Historically I have been lucky to get pregnant first attempt with all three children, so am but trying to say it is a good thing am less fertile as maybe that will sway pink? How is everyone else feeling? X o
I'm feeling kind of down too. My SIL is due with a girl in August, my cousin is having identical twin girls in September, and my sister's best friend just had a girl yesterday. Now I feel like a boy is bound to be conceived with all these girls around and it will probably be me who conceives him! Sometimes I feel really good about my relaxed sway and other times I get mad at myself for not going vegetarian and not being consistent enough with cardio.
Ugh, pain in the butt. And I'm still waiting for AF which is probably going to be late and show up while DH and I are away on our kid-free trip next week. Of course.
AF arrived today, at least I can keep track of my cycle day easily this month since cd1 is July 1 :)
I don't think I will bother with much sway tactics this month. It is cycle #12 since I started trying (16 months ago).
Sorry, purple. Hugs.

thanks inforthree :) I'm actually ok, I have been too busy today to even think about it much as DS1 was sick early morning, then my sister needed some help as she injured herself, also work is really busy so I have been on the go all day. I'm slowly accepting it might not happen, I'm just not sure when I will get to a point where I can stop trying yet.
Hugs purple, it is such a tough process, am not sure how much longer I can go with this and we only had our first attempt last month, thought been doing diet and exercise since April, cannot imagine how you feel trying that long, hope this is your month x
I feel the same way, girlieplease. This is my third cycle and I've been doing the diet loosely since last fall and strictly since January. It's not the diet that bothers me, it's the whole production of it all, and having it go on and on that is hard. Especially, mostly probably, becuase there are no guarantees in the end. The more it goes on I feel like I'm dedicating too much of my effort to this sway and feel down because I feel like I should just be happy with what I have and let another DC, if any, happen naturally.
Anyway, I'm sorry it's been so long for you purple, I'm struggling with thinking about when we would call it quits down the road. I don't know when it would be either.
I really can't imagine being in the shoes of people that have had a successful sway, I just feel like it won't happen for me.

Huge hugs Purple!
My heart goes out to people that have been TTCing for so long. It sucks. It took me 9 months and 11 cycles to conceive my DS3. That last month I told my DH I didn't want to try anymore, and I had accepted our family the way it was. We were surprised I was pregnant!
This time around, we are trying until December and then we will re-evaluate.
Come on July! Bring on more BFPs!!

Fingers crossed for you this cycle purple. I'm expecting AF tomorrow or Monday, bfn on frer yesterday. I'm ok about it, the longer time goes on the more I'm accepting that we may not be meant to have another one. I have given myself until November & if it hasn't happened by then it's not meant to. I can't stay on this diet too much longer it's making me feel miserable about myself. I am trying to find the time to fit in weights again, it's just so hard some days.

CD1 for me too. I want these next 2 weeks to fly!
Am cd 8 today, normally o round day 12 - 15 but last month it was day 20, hoping for usual o this month as it made my cycle really long last month. Want to get to me attempt but also find the 2 ww really difficult time, so not looking forward to that. I have put my effort into exercising and sticking to my diet levels so at least in the 2 ww I can drop the exercise to 5 days and have one or two treats! How is everyone feeling about attempt / chances this month? Am not hopeful as my timing was spot on last month and no pregnancy so think it might take us a while with this diet and e4 days
Good luck Beau82, is this your first cycle?
Girlieplease, I hope last month was just an off month for you and you ovulate your usual time.
So today I had to ring around several pharmacies to get hold of some more clomid! The one I got it from last time was all out and none of their other stores had any. I called a couple of pharmacies near where I live and they didn't have any so I tried the one where I got the pregnyl and they had 1 pack left! It was a bit out the way but at least I have some now. I'm going to start it tomorrow night.
Hopefully I don't need to go hunting around again, this pack will do 2 cycles but I plan to take next cycle off so I won't have to worry about it until October. Hopefully we aren't still ttc in October as we have a holiday booked and have 5 nights in the same hotel room as the boys.
Apologies in advance for the gross question but I think you ladies can handle it? Cd 8 or 9 today, usually o day 12 - 15, today I have lots of creamy discharge, I never usually have this, swaying pink should there not be less? I wondering if I have a yeast infection? This may account for i? I have no other signs of infection like itching. would be gutted as my attempt for this month should be in a few days? Thanks
Thanks purple! Yes this will be our first attempt cycle. We had some slip-ups the last few months but usually timing was off.
Girlie - I wouldn't worry! CM can change so much anyway and then with swaying on top of it, you can definitely notice more changes. I've noticed lately that I usually have a couple of days of creamy CM just before ovulation. For me it goes from creamy for around 2-3 days to EW for just one day.
If it's not smelly or itchy its probably fine girlie. I'm pretty sure when I have had yeast infections (going back 10 years now) it was different to the normal creamy CM and was definitely uncomfortable and itchy!
