Thanks xxforhubby, I feel rather despondent! I feel like most people I have been in these threads with have got pregnant ( except your good self) but I still going to plough on with the exercise and diet! In real life no one knows we are trying for a baby and I have a few friends that have just found out they are pregnant and they were using birth control and not even trying and I cannot even get pregnant with attempts at ovulation! Good luck to you, though might be some indication that this will be a good month for you, hope so x o
I feel the same way Girlie! I just feel like I won't be able to get a BFP, since I'm breastfeeding my 8 month old I won't be able to get pregnant. I'm not willing to wean so we just keep trying. Maybe we will get lucky...FX!!

Hope so as well, at least you have an explanation of why your not conceiving, due to breast feeding, I have no reason. I understand that having a reason does not make it any easier to deal with! Glad to have your continued company on this journey, fingers crossed for us both x
I'm stalking until I see hubby and girlie get BFP's... But idk with what you said in the previous thread hubby I wouldn't count yourself out this month just yet...
I'm trying to stay positive but feeling a bit down too. We've been fortunate in the past to have conceived really easily. Hope this is our month!

Xxforhubby I got pregnant with ds1 when dd was 8 and half months, I was still breastfeeding quite alot and I had not had a period, I can happen! I also had an undiagnosed and therefore untreated thyriod problem. That is part if the reason I cannot understand why I cannot get pregnant now give I have in the past under very unlikely circumstances xQuote:

Hey ladies cd 11 here, I usually o cd 14 or 15, past two months I have been registering highd on cb fm from about day 6 or 7 and then continued highd until af arrived and I stop testing. I know this isn't great but I have conceived two children with endless highs. This month am at cd 11 and still registering low fertility? Am hoping that means my cycle has settled into the usual 2 day high, 2 day peak and 1 day high following peake? Am worried may not o this month? That has never happened to me with cb m before. Am also temping vaginally and my temps are all over the show? Amy advice? Am sticking with e4d's next attempt is Friday, thanks
Hi girls! I am need of some advice as I am debating what to do this month. Since this is my third month on Clomid & since I had a chemical at the beginning of the month, I was planning on E4D plus one attempt at + OPK. We BD two days ago (CD 8). Normally I always get my first high fertility on CD 12 & 13, then first peak on 14 and then ovulate 15. However, today is CD 10 and I got a high. Since we BD 2 days ago on CD 8, next BD attempt wasn’t supposed be until CD 12 but that will likely be my first positive OPK for peak, which would likely mean just one attempt during cycle, unless we BD 2 nights in a row.
Debating if I should BD now on CD 10 and then again on CD 12 OR just wait until CD 12 as I had planned and only end up with one attempt this cycle? The thought of two attempts this cycle scares me but then again the stats for conceiving after a miscarriage and on Clomid are so favored for pink that I am wondering if I should just go for 2 attempts to increase my odds this month.
As an FYI for both our first and second month TTC I was on Clomid 50 mg and we only had one attempt at positive OPK. First month DH did daily release until our attempt and then second month we did release e2d. No big O either time.
Girlieplease have you lost a lot of weight with your sway recently? Back in January and February when I started my diet & exercise, my cycles and ovulation were very different than what I normally had. Once my weight loss slowed down in March, my cycles went back to normal. I still ovulated every month though so hopefully yours might just be off a bit this month!Quote:

It depends on how quickly you want to get pregnant, if your good on the diet and exercise and you have a recent pregnancy that was lost plus Clomid maybe it is the optimum time to increase your odds of getting pregnant since all the above may cancel out the increased chance of blue. If you feel this is your optimal chance of pink them you need to do as much as you can to get pregnant, as atomic would say if your not pregnant you have no shot at your gd. As I talk it through am more inclined to opt for the two attempts. I was in a really good swaying place in July and for lots of reasons feel I had a great shot at a girl but I did not get pregnant, tough one, good luck!Quote:

I am having a blood draw at cd 21 so hopefully that will confirm if I have ovulated or not!
Wow 7 stone!!! That is fantastic! Well done on such an amazing weight loss!
I'm cd 13 today, decided to use opk strip tests this month. For the last few days it has shown a faint second line but not getting darker. Hopefully it will just get really dark tomorrow or Friday, and that I actually will ovulate .
Booked 21 day blood test for next Thursday.

I am joining in this month too! First day of femara today (2nd round), so hoping to O during my vacation week, first week of august. I am pretty sure I won't be able to loose weight while on vacation so I am trying to keep losing some weight right now.
I guess my only chance of swaying for a girl this month will be due to Femara and not so much diet. UGH! Trying not to sway too blue during vacation week (relax, drinks and a LOT of food), any suggestions?
Good luck everyone!!!! FX!
Jenc- If 2 attempts scare you, then you could split the difference and BD on CD11, making it every 3 days which is pinker than BD every 4 days plus one attempt at positive opk.
Technically, the BD every 4 days and at positive opk would have you attempt when you get your positive opk, then resume your every 4 day frequency. It is having 2 attempts.
If you're truly stuck on what to do, then toss a coin to take away the stress of it all and be done with it.
FX and GL with whatever you decide!!!

Hey ladies! Joining you this month and I'm so excited! I'm trying not to obsess which is why I don't come on here often, makes it harder for me. But here I am in the two. I think I am 9 dpo but FF has me pinned as 8 dpo. I guess one day doesn't matter. I'm not testing g early anyway as I have had so many chemicals. I'm waiting to test tuesday which is DHS birthday....he will be super happy if I'm pregnant again (and I really think I am) and it would be a lovely gift. I'd like to test sooner but I know I won't be able to keep it all in and I'll be exploding with excitement!
We were not ttc yet this month as we're going to wait one more but a month ago I got a nasty non infectious vaginitis and when I used spermicide at the beginning of my cycle it started returning so I *tried* to tell dh no or at least to pull out but he was thoroughly uncooperative and we got 4 attempts in my 4 fertile days! Not very pink!!!! I'm ok with it tho, almost 40 so I don't want to waste time (and by almost, I mean SEPTEMBER!!!)
XX I will be stalking your chart again, I hope this is your month! Everyone else, fx for you all!!!
Oh and ladies. ..when taking femera and clomid, my personal opinion is to get more attempts in rather than less. You can only take that stuff for a few cycles of your entire LIFE and the drs here limit it to about 6 months so make it count! If in doubt, I would bd anyway. Just my 2 cents, I've been on this board dunce 2011 and the one thing I've learned is you have no chance for your DG if you font get pregnant at all.
I think I'm a little skewed after our loss and my subsequent illness. I had to do a lot to get healthy enough to try again and none of it was pink friendly but I had to give in or give up on ever having another. Kinda changes your perspective. Just thought id share ;)
Gl no matter what you decide to do!
Good to see you Sweet Lily!! I sure hope this is your month! I'm hoping and praying that this is your rainbow baby!!!

And I'm still here, CD3 of cycle #17 of trying. Starting my Femara this evening and Gonal F injections on Monday, will head back to the RE next Wednesday for an ultrasound to hopefully catch my follicles before they get to big like last month. Hoping to take the trigger shot this month to see if that helps at all.
Good luck everyone.
I agree ED3 sounds like a good idea! I also think flipping a coin is a good way to decide because in the end we never know if we're making the absolute right choice, we just can't! GL!Quote:

XXforhubby, you give such lovely support to everyone [emoji3] (I am mainly on the HT boards but always read the 2WW threads too).
I just wanted to say I got pregnant with DS2 whilst breastfeeding DS1 when he was 8.5 months old with only one AF since giving birth. So I hope this is your month xx

Hubby!!! Think of me as your alarm.... Time to test!!!! Lol
Hahaha! I will test about 7-10 days from now. FF finally gave me crosshairs and while my temps are pretty high, I do agree with FF on when I ovulated.
I need to vent ladies. Things are pretty stressful right now, and I'm not sure of anything at the moment. We move into our new house a week from now, and we are meeting with a Realtor to sell our current house. We need to finish packing and get it ready to show. My DH started back at work (he's a school Principal). He's become very vocal recently that he's stressed about the kids we have and doesn't want anymore. I finally told him today how I feel, which is that I listen to him vent but it's not reciprocated. I'm trying to come his way and come to a place where I am at peace with the children we have. I just feel like someone is missing. It sucks because my husband gives off vibes that he doesn't like our 8 month old and that breaks my heart! I don't want that for my sweet baby yet alone another. I regret having children with him- how he's acting. I'm not sure what this means for us, and I don't think we are going to TTC in the future. He sends me mixed messages. He says all this negative stuff, yet he always initiates unprotected sex with me and mentions a 4th all the time. He's obviously conflicted and puts TTCing at an impasse. If I am pregnant, well I will wait to tell him. I don't feel like I'll end up with a BFP, and I'm mostly ok with that.
Please pray for me and my children. My DH is not in a good place right now.

So sorry Hubby :( prayers that DH pulls his head out of his butt and stops giving the mixed messages. Playing therapist for a minute, I remember your last pregnancy and you mentioning he was really hoping for a girl and even being a little surprised that he was so happy with DS3.. I suspect he does have a little GD and maybe it's just now something he's accepting and trying to work through and maybe that's the "vibe" you are getting off of him... Would make sense that that's also why he flips back and forth between trying again and leaving it be...and giving you the mixed messages.
I think that he will come around but I would talk to him because if this is the case maybe the potential for a 4th boy would be a bad idea in this case... But it's your family and your children so you need to decide what you think has the best outcome for YOU!
Oh my goodness XX! I am SO SORRY you are going thru this. My dh has been off and on for years, cold feet and worried about the responsibility etc. Yet then like this month I tell him I can't use bc, am about to ovulate and he Dtd 4 times unprotected!!! l told him I think I'm pregnant and he said he'd be very happy if I am so that explained that!
I don't know what to tell you but having kids with a jerk is never a good idea. It could be he's just so internally conflicted and won't voice what he's feeling abd it's not the way you think it is. You should have a really deep talk with him and discern how he really feels and where he's really at. Maybe the new house etc is just too much stress at once for him and he just needs a couple of months before he's ready again?
In any case, I send huge hugs. I will think on this and see if I can give better advice when I have more time, I do have an experience to share later.
Afm, I feel SO pregnant. I started progesterone cause at 6 dpo I had spotting g and was feeling pretty pregnant already but now the progesterone has taken over and is screwing with me. Not going to trust my symptoms...but I feel uber pregnant still. I've had so many chemicals irs hard to get excited or hopeful (and then of course this springs terrible loss). I am testing g Saturday when I will be 11 or 12 dpo since I have a really tough job this weekend that I refuse to do if I am actually pregnant but I'm officially testing and staying on progesterone til Tuesday when af is due and is DHS bday. I guess we shall see!
DH and I finally talked. He goes back and forth with wanting another child, but he is ok with another boy. He said that with the move and starting a new school year, he just feels overwhelmed at times. He said that he's sorry about that and that I am a great mom. He said he loves our kids and is wanting to still try until this December. He's ok if I do get pregnant. He also apologized for the snide remarks and that wasn't very appropriate.
I was so shocked by his behavior since it's not like him! I told him that really inhibits communication when he acts that way and that is not healthy. It's one thing to say you need time before you can talk about something, and it's another when you make snide comments.
We will see. I'm not sure I want to continue to TTC. This time of the year is hard on my DH. He doesn't handle transitions well and it's amplified by our move. At least I know where things stand!
Thanks ladies! My best friend is about to go into labor, and I didn't have anyone else I could talk to! You're all the best [emoji8]!!

Glad to hear your conversation with DH went well! I think TTC adds stress to any relationship, especially when it doesn't happen right away. When you add swaying in, it creates an entirely new level of strain. And when other stressful life situations occur, I think it all becomes too much for everyone, especially DH. Hang in there! Hopefully once the move is done and you are settled in things will go more or less back to normal! Everything is just intensified at the moment but this too shall pass!Quote:

We are going to BD tonight CD 12 (last time was 4 days ago) and then assuming I get a peak tomorrow on CD 13 and on CD 14 we will probably BD again on CD 14 so 2 attempts this cycle.
What SweetLily said really resonated with me...I have a limited number of cycles I can take the Clomid for and I should really take advantage of it while I can. The 2 attempts make me nervous, but I think only having 1 attempt and NOT getting PG and having to take a fourth round of Clomod make me even more nervous...the 2 attempts just might be the lesser of two evils...:nails:
I think this month is already a bust. I am ovulating today (OPK just turned positive, rather) and I wanted our attempt to be the day before I got a positive OPK, as that is when I got pregnant in June (chemical). So, I'm assuming that is the magical day.
My husband and I tried to get in an attempt today before he went to work, but our son just won't let us. He's in our faces all the time, he never naps and when he finally decides to sleep, we're exhausted, so we sleep too. Sigh.
I really think trying later won't even work out, but, even if it did, I think it's pointless because I am pretty sure we missed the prime day.
Looking on the bright side, at least I will have most of August to do a better sway!
But, I'm starting to feel like I don't even want a second child at all 😔

Ok. Hubs and I finally got an attempt in...
Now I am not sure if we should go ahead and do another attempt tomorrow or not.
I have been pretty solid with my sway for the past month, so I wonder if 2 attempts would still keep me in the running...
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
Lissa I say that has to be your choice I know two times at positive OPK is more of a boy tactic but you also can't get pregnant at all if you miss the window... Maybe have DH release before hand to lower his sperm count and then Get in another attempt? But I think for a pink sway others will chime in and say one attempt once the OPK is positive is good for pink however you are more likely to get pregnant, period, with one more attempt I believe
Hmmmm cd15 and still no positive opk. Have had very faint second line on strip all month though!
Need advice!
Should I change my blood test on cd21 to check progesterone levels until 7 days after I do get a positive opk? Or just keep it at cd21?
Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Right need advice cd 14, clear blue fertility monitor registered high since yesterday but I used the clear blue digital ovulation predictor and both days got an empty circle. We attempted Monday morning, my plan was to attempt tonight but think I should leave it until tomorrow? Am worried I will get a positive OPK on Sat or Sunday and I don't think my husbands swimmers hang around. I dont know if an attempt tonight would be splitting the difference anyway? To bd tonight or tomorrow morning or tomorrow evening? Suppose am just concerned about this attempt been too far from o but then having a panic and attempting again in fertile window?
Jen am in same boat but because I am not sure when am ovulating these days am sticking with getting bloods taken at cd 20, 21 is a Saturday here. In June I ovulated on cd 21, but gp and I will maybe just have to try and make sense of the findings in light of what I will know about my cycle at that time, temperature profile, ovulation signs etc, good luck!
Glad you and DH sorted stuff out. I find with my dh that he is so much more influenced by factors on a day to day basis. I seem to be able now I have made the decision to have another baby, to hold that steady despite what is happening on a daily basis. If the children are ill or my dh is stressed he seems more likely to make comments like he is not sure he can cope with another. I find that frustrating as I feel that am putting myself out more, that should be the case as it is me that wants another. In your case your doing this in part for hubby, that would irritate me, glad you have come to a resolution!Quote:

Also you had a cp recently, that sways pink, though so it might be wise to up your attempts to capitalise in that sway tactic. However, I don't know how long that acts as a sway? Is it only the first cycle after a loss? For my part I have failed to conceive the past two months despite well timed attempts, so I might add attempts to increase my chances. I am also having blood test at cd 21 to check I am ovulating so it might be prudent to wait for the outcome of that and add attempts next month! Good luck, xQuote:

If, for example, you o two days before test then the reading will be inaccurate.Quote:
