fivebabies, you've been trying so long, it's worth a chance! FX things go differently this cycle! Just curious, how old are you? You can give a range if you prefer, I'm just wondering how close you might be to menopause.
Maiden, your chat looks so great!!! Even if this isn't it, I think you can be excited your hormones are so together!
uschi, we also conceived super easily the first two times and are shocked it's taking so long this time. We have no idea why. I'm so much healthier now, I was battling Lyme before but this time I was preparing 6 months ahead of ttc. (And I ignore the 50 Shades stuff -- no interest to me and repulsive.)
Please pray for me that my temp goes up tomorrow and today was an implantation dip! It's unusual for me (dip was much later in the cycle with dd) and I just don't know what to make of it.
I see it Mars!

Thanks ladies! Looks like I will have to use my FR tomorrow :)
Mars, I see it! And I'm terrible at faint lines! Yay!! [emoji92][emoji92]
Uschi - I completely agree with you on 50 Shades! Such terrible writing. Ew.
I hope everyone else takes time for themselves, too. Especially those of you with ongoing TTC. I can imagine the frustration and heartache, all of you are in my prayers.
Maiden - you chart looks so awesome! I hope this is your cycle!
Sage - lots of baby dust to you. I'll be stalking for a rise tomorrow! [emoji106]

Congrats everyone, to their promising signs! And I'm beyond encouraged by everyone that believes in the value of esteeming women.
Mars- I see it!! Yay!!! Keep testing with FMU on your ICs! I just KNEW it!!!!!

Sage- I'm Xing everything and [emoji120] that your temp goes back up and stays up! Look out your window- a giant truck load of blue baby dust just got delivered [emoji8] *~•[emoji170][emoji843][emoji170]•~*

Sage~ I'm 34. I hope I'm not close to menopause! Lol. FX for you!!!!
Mars~ Good luck!!!!
fivebabies, I didn't realize you weren't swaying. That would absolutely make me feel more concerned about how long it's taking to conceive. I am so sorry! I also understand about HT. I have seriously considered it but ICSI goes against my personal beliefs (among other things about IVF which unsettle me) and apparently no reputable clinics that do GS allow natural fertilization. If you were younger, would you want even more kids? Or is 6 your limit? I hope you don't mind me asking, but I wanted a lot of kids most of my life, but now I don't feel I have time for as many as I would like ideally.
Junie, thank you and I'm so excited that you and XX will be reading Frost along with me! I started the series yesterday and am nearing the end of the 3rd book. I don't read summaries bc I'm a spoilerphobe, so I don't even know what secret you're referring to. But I'll go check. Btw, I know FF gave you CHs but looking at past temps, you are not yet into your post O range, so I wonder if maybe O is still coming? Have you had any fertile CM recently? I also think it's possible you just Oed late on CD31 or early on CD32 depending on what your next few temps do...and since you got an attempt in, that would mean much better timing. I really hope that's the case.
XX, thanks and please let me know how you like Frost. I know you're okay with being done, but I feel SUPER strongly that there is another baby awaiting you. I just know it will happen for you. If only I knew when!
uschi, you are so right about the community here. It is just amazing and unlike any other forum, and I've been on many. GD has by far the least drama and most supportive atmosphere. It's also cool that it's all adult women at least mid 20s or older, and small but not too small number of active regulars which make for such a tight knit feeling.
How old are you, btw?
Re: the horrible dreck that is 50 shades...I hope that your complaints are about the bad writing/weak heroine/abusive hero and not about true, consensual, honest BDSM (which the book claims to be about but is in fact an utter mockery of)? Bc as you may be able to tell by my avatar, I am into BDSM and it can be wonderful. Violence and power play during sex done in the right way are not mysogynistic or abusive, in fact they csn be empowering and freeing. I hope that makes sense...I can assure you that pretty much everyone in the BDSM community/lifestyle finds 50 Shades abhorrent snd is angry about how wrongly/badly/abusively BDSM is portrayed in it. Especially as it has been so widely read and for many women is their first foray into that world.
Mars, I totally see a what seems to be a very faint line, with a hint of pink! Yay, how exciting! Can I ask how you determined O? Just by OPMs? Also what brand ICs are those tests and how sensitive do they claim to be? I can't wait to see your FRER tomorrow! Eeee!
blueeyed, were you full on swaying before and got fed up swaying and TTC so long or have you always had a relaxed approach?
sage, thank you and for sure there is no doubt about my hormones! My back is enough of a problem, so I am thankful that I am very healthy in most other regards. I was just thinking that your temp drop could be implantation, though I prefer to call it a secondary estrogen surge. Regardless it's a good sign! Will you test early this month? Fx for a big temp rise tomorrow for you.
I definitely just hated the writing in 50 Shades. It was so...lame? I felt like none of the characters were well created and she just drove me nuts.
I've had a lot of watery CM tonight. I laughed and thought I either A) pee'd my pants or B) AF was coming. Rushed to check and just very watery/clear CM. DH and I DTD today and I had some spotting after? Back is starting to ache now, but that does happen around AF. So I guess time will tell in the next few days! I'm not sure when AF Is suppose to come though, so that's a guessing game as well.

Maiden~ I still would like 2 more. But it is sounding like 5 is my number. I think my hormones are out of whack and my PCOS is acting up badly.
We are going to have another attempt tonight. I noticed a ton of EWCM tonight that was brownish-pinkish. I normally avoid BDing when this happens thinking it's coming from my cervix. Maybe it's the egg being released. Anyway, giving it another go. Eventually either I'll get a BFP or give up. We will see which comes first [emoji6]. A year on the LE diet is about enough already! Although we are entering Lent (I'm catholic) and fasting is a great pink sway tactic. I'll keep trying and evaluate come Easter. That will be 2 more cycles- 10 cycles in total. Yeash!

Taytum, omg yes! The writing is just terrible in every way. While I haven't read the book, everything I've heard, the many reviews snd several excerpts all indicated to me that there is absolutely NOTHING worthwhile about the book, with every aspect severely lacking. Plus terrible editing which is a huge pet peeve of mine since I did it professionally for years. It would probably get 1 star from me. It is truly shocking to me that the book was ever published let alone so freaking popular. Just incomprehensible, and it further destroys my low opinion of mankind in general.
I had 2 days of just barely EWCM but more WCM around the same DPO this month. I usually never get EWCM after O, and the first time it happened a couple months ago I had 2 cysts. But I had way less this cycle for fewer days and closer to W, so I'm hoping it's not just a cyst this time.
fivebabies, do you have long cycles? I know you tend to O late, right?
Hey Maiden, First month using OPK's so I know we got the time timing right this month. The preg tests came with the OPK's, Just off eBay lol. Hopefully it's a BFP tomorrow!! :D
I just have to say I read the books and saw the movie :D I think the writing is poor but I've read worse. I feel it is supposed to be fantasy like many other books I read. I didn't look at it as an introduction into the real life BDSM scene and it bothers me a bit when people try to make it seem like an awful thing. I feel the argument is similar to violent video games (which I also enjoy) you can enjoy these things and understand that they are pure fantasy and not actually think stuff like that is OK. Like of course in real life Christian would probably be in jail and I would consider him a complete creep but the books are fiction and I enjoyed them as such. I have to say the fact that they both enjoy the sex so much is something which I consider very positive and is probably one of the aspects that many of it's fans enjoy (I'm actually not a fan of the books as I just don't think they are very good, but I still found them entertaining).I think deciding what type of fiction is "OK" for people to enjoy and still consider themselves a feminist is a very slippery slope. I'm definitely a feminist and have absolutely no problem with the fact that I enjoy a quite tame kinky book every once in awhile. Plus I have read "worse" in some of my historical romances ;)
Taytum- I also thought the writing was very cheesy. "Laters baby"- I mean really no one says that. Although that might just be my inner goddess talking ;)
Sage- I'm hoping your temp goes back up today!!
XX- I think it is smart to get another attempt in- you just never know!
Maiden- I'm so excited to see your temps today, I really think this could be your cycle! I haven't had any fertile CM but I've barely had any CM this whole cycle. So far I've normally "felt" pregnant ahead of the test so I am just going to keep temping and see how things progress. I do think I probably O'd but I'm not 100% sure. I have a different thermometer then I used to have and that could be leading to the temp difference.
Maiden, I decided I wasn't going to change my diet because with dh flip flopping so much, it would have been too hard to stick with it never knowing if all that work was even worth bothering with. Plus, with the way we eat & shop, it would have been really hard to manage.
I'm also still nursing my youngest, so hopefully that helps a bit. Didn't seem to make much difference with the last two, but that's all I had going for me.
I did plan on exercising & we actually bought a treadmill (not for that reason, but why not use it), but we only got it about a week before O & I fell & hurt myself too badly to use it the first few days we had it. I need to get going on that, but my knee has been hurting again.
I really hope everyone else gets a BFP this cycle!
AF is tapering off, so dh & I are in negotiations.
I think I'm out. Temp drop and a tiny bit of brown spotting. So glad I didn't test.
Thanks for all the blue dust and good vibes -- temp went up a little! I was too nervous to test. If implantation was yesterday and I wait until tomorrow, that'll give me the 48 hours and another high temp. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter how soon I know, it'll be there if it's going to be there. How did I make it 9 months last time not finding out gender? I can wait a couple of days. BTW, XX, the way you were talking about Goldie, well my "hope you're in there" to talk to is "Oro" (= gold in Spanish), lol.
fivebabies - I think 35 is when they say fertility really starts to drop and you should seek help after 6 months of ttc. Wow, you have pcos and you managed to have 5?! That's really good isn't it? My cousin has that and had lots of trouble although she made it to 3 with help (says they're done now), and they were all small and needed close monitoring in pregnancy. She might have some other problems, too, but I know she said it was hard ttc because she didn't have regular cycles, and she had to have a cyst or something removed in order to have the first baby.
maiden - *hugs* Your lp this time does look much more even, things are improving and you'll catch that egg soon! I've been getting ewcm 2 days before af since ttc this time. I don't remember having it happen before I had dd.
Mars - What time zone are you in? I really want to see your test, but I'm guessing your asleep right now. Hope you wake up to a great day!
Sage- Yay for your temp going up!
Great another 9 day LP. I really hate when my temps give me no warning. I feel tricked! Onto BD every 3 days and trying to get clomid/femara for next cycle.
Hugs Maiden! I'm so sorry for you. I am really hoping that this next cycle is it for you! I agree with Sage that your LP has looked more even this cycle. I would nix the Clomid though and try for Femara given your propensity to hyperovulate. It might be hard in Germany though so get what you can get!
Sage- I am so excited for you to test!! I really hope you have a super snugly with mama blue bundle growing in there!
Mars- I bet anything you'll get a BFP on a FRER!!
Junie- when should AF come? I hope she stays away and you get your much deserved BFP!
Ladies that AF came, I'm so sorry. I hope that a BFP comes soon.
Ladies waiting to test, I hope you get a BFP!!

We got another attempt last night. I'm glad we did, because the brown-tinged EWCM was gone afterward.
We gave it our all this cycle- it's in God's hands now. If we don't get a BFP this cycle, I am hopeful that we will in the next few cycles. My diet and exercise will be on point due to Lent, and DH will be doing it with me. Bonus! Time will tell. My boys sure bring me tons of joy and comfort and as time goes on I am becoming more at peace with my lovelies!

Maiden- I am so so sorry:( Do something nice for yourself today!
Maiden sorry. Hope u get a bfp v soon. X
Atm I have more cm than usually but it's really watery. Surely that's a good sign, yes?
Maiden - I'm so sorry about AF. :( I was so bummed to wake up and see your new chart. BUT, a new chart is always a fresh start, and I love that you're already looking forward to next cycle! I've got my FX for you! And I agree with Junie - do something for yourself today! And yes...I don't consider myself someone who has read all of the classics, but 50 will definitely NOT be a classic. I did enjoy the fact that so many more women became more comfortable talking about their sexuality and making more time for their significant others in the bedroom! I enjoyed that aspect of it, but the overall book itself just wasn't for me. :)
XX - your chart looks good! Timing also looks great - FX crossed for you that this is your cycle!
Sage - I'm so excited to see your temp keep rising! I hope there's a blue baby getting started (and then share some blue dust with me! ;) ). I'll be looking forward to your testing!
I had a dream last night my temp dropped and AF was coming today (mostly because of the backache last night and the watery cm and pinkish/brownish CM after DTD yesterday). I woke up today and it was still higher (98.29). Took another IC test out of curiosity sake and BFN. I'm going to try to hold off until Friday when I go to my OBGYN appt and ask that they do a blood test there. I'll either be 18DPO by Friday or 9DPO, depending on which time I actually O'ed haha.
Xx good luck
That is a fantastic sign Eleena! You are producing fertile CM. FX you catch the egg, if you haven't already!Quote:

Thank you . U too. Hate the 2ww. Def still keeping up the diet in the 2ww this time. I will test at around 9-10 dpo. I can never wait the full two weeks.lol
I had a chemical back in November so I am in camp ignorant is bliss [emoji6]! I wait for AF to be late by a day or two. So far she has come right on time! We will see though- maybe she will forget her boarding pass sometime [emoji6]

I always keep up the diet and exercise in the 2ww. The first two days of AF are my cheat and break from exercise days. That helps me cope tremendously and makes it easier to have something to kind of look forward to during a frustrating time.
