Hello!!! I'm officially a 2WW-er!! :) made our attempts yesterday for a boy! :D so guess that puts me technically at 1dpo! :)
Obviously won't be able to test until November so whenever that thread starts up I'll swap over :)
Hopper I ate breakfast sometimes and have two girls. Remember it's overall condition. I freak out when I don't eat carbs and protein together so I know how it is.
Welcome Nann. Glad to have another boy swayer!

Congrats Netti! And good luck Magical, nann, and Quinn-- hope to see you over on the due date board soon. I'm feeling a little more confident about today's test (bottom), but I'm wondering how early it must be since both my boys were dark, obvious positives on the first test at 13 dpo.

Congrats Netti! So exciting! I'm glad we got atleast a few bfn!
A fm- the witch arrived. I guess I'll be joining the November group. I don't plan on using any rephresh this month. I'm contemplating if we should use SP & cranberry again.... I'm going to use vitex for sure though because it has given me such great cycle length improvements.

welcome nan :) sending loads of my blue dust ;)
thanks for the kind words quinn, hoping you are right! my overall condition is appalling right now!!
has2 lovely progression there!!! Am so excited for you, hope to join your due date group soon ;)
sorry to hear the witch got you Lauren :( Am contemplating SP next cycle too. Must get on DHs back about taking his cran and lr! hes gone very bad for remembering!! Hope we see our bfps in November hun xxx
Sorry Lauren, that sucks. I know the feeling well. Enjoy some bad food and drinks today.
Has anyone ever had af symptoms that turned into a bfp? I'm so irritable and I get really bad before af. Just hoping it doesn't mean af for sure. I even yelled at my dd this morning before pre-k and I feel horrible. Plus I feel road rage and parking lot rage since no one seems to be able to park in one spot!! Okay, irrational vent over.

Sorry you got AF Lauren :( FX November is our month!
Congrats Netti and Has2!!! Those lines are looking good. H&H 9 months! :)
Hopper, don't fret over eating breakfast. You've been on the diet awhile right? I ate breakfast, snacked, took vitamins and basically didn't eat LE for an entire week while I was pregnant but Atomic assured me it's overall condition that matters. A few blips aren't going to undo months of dieting. Are you still having blood work done to figure out what's going on with your cycle?
Quinn, last cycle I was super emotional a few days before my BFP. I'd start crying over stupid things then I'd be a major grump and lose my temper with the kids. :/ I swear pregnancy symptoms and AF symptoms are so similar I always think my period is coming when I'm prego!
Still waiting to O over here. Had some more ovary pain yesterday and I'm having some other fertile signs. My temp went up today which is weird but I guess they'll be wonky for awhile.
Hey nann!!
Lauren sorry about AF [emoji107] and what is SP?

Hopper I thought it was cranberry or licorice root? And OLE. That was my understanding anyway x
Quinn im savage most of my cycle let alone before AF [emoji23][emoji12]

Is the SP supposed to be a big factor? The Vitex & cranberry are the most important right?Quote:

Thanks hun. Been on diet pretty much except for a couple of blips since May 1st. Have lost about 10-12lbs since then and think my muscle mass is fairly non existent! I'm planning to wait til tomorrow if AF doesn't show today and see if they can fit me in for BW. If AF doesn't show today I have no idea what's going on but will test tomorrow if I have to before going for Bw. I just hate seeing BFNs so am putting it off!!Quote:

I thought it was LR and cranberry OR OLE. DH can definitely only take OLE or cranberry as I have asked Atomic about the benefits of both several times now, she recommends cranberry BUT mostly because the stats just aren't there for OLE just yet.Quote:

I'm not into the Vitex at the moment although this cycle is definitely making me question that decision! If it doesn't regulate I will look into it. A lot have dropped the Vitex since I joined, it was very popular in 2014 then we postponed ttc so I didn't check in here until earlier this year and Vitex seemed to be less popular. I think if it's helping your cycles regulate then it's working for you. Cranberry is recommended for DHs but not us, right? Or at least it was when I got my personalised plan in 2014.Quote:

I recommend cranberry for men who can take it (those under 35, in good health, good sperm quality, not on blood thinners or other meds that may interact with cran) because I am not completely convinced yet on the OLE. Most of the people who I had on OLE up until 2015, were on it because they had some issue (they were older, poor sperm health, fertility challenges) that could have had them more "set" for pink. It's not that I think the stats on OLE are bad, they're actually great, but i am not yet convinced that it's because OLE itself is great or if it's because up till this last 9 months I was only giving it to a certain subset of people who may have been overall more pink-friendly to start with.
Girls, it's impossible for me to keep up with these support threads. I just so happened to see one of the questions come thru in the "new posts" and so I could reply to this. PLEASE put your actual questions into the main forums for me to respond to because if 10 people get confused, it only ends up taking me longer than if you had just asked me in the first place.
(Please note I am not mad or annoyed, it's just that literally every time I open a support thread there is invariably some level of confusion going on, please just ASK when you have questions rather than guessing "I think it's this or I think it's that")
Yes that's what I thought hopper. If you were to take anything then it would be aspirin (which is what I do a few times a week) due to vitamin content. Ive not bothered with any supps other Than that and folic acid as it's another stress id rather not have x
Quinn - yes progesterone bloods tomorrow. If they're ok, then im like you just take ages to conceive! And our charts look similar too [emoji57]

Quinn- i honeslty didn't think this was my month. Whilst i didn't have usual af symptoms i didnt have pregnant ones either. It was kind of a limbo

I do think both vitex and SP sway pink or I would not continue to recommend them. I 110% believe vitex worked for me both to restore my cycle when nursing and also helped me get my DD. BUT the issue is that (rather like with the Cran vs. OLE issue) the results have been disappointing overall - actually considerably less than the overall success rates of the site. Now, I suspect that it may be because V and SP have caused so much trouble for so many people that the only people who were able to get pregnant, may have been highly fertile and thus more "set" for blue AND/OR were able to get pregnant right away (becuase everyone who didn't get pregnant within a few months usually drops them) possibly meaning less time on diet. I also have totally given up on V and SP for anyone over 35 unless they insist on it because I felt like it really cut odds of conception for moms in that age range.Quote:

The fact is, without a blind, controlled study on JUST vitex or just saw palmetto in people doing nothing else to sway (and who do not have PCOS) we cannot know how much they sway. Like I said on paper both of them "should" sway and that is why I continue to recommend them. But I cannot tell peopel how much or which is better, that is just info that I do not and probably will never have.
If you absolutely MUST take something for pH ladies instead of cranberry use aspirin. BUT that having been said I am not even recommending that any more because it did not get any better results than the overall stats of the site (and unlike V and SP, aspirin does not cut odds of conception, everyone was taking it, and I believe this to be a "real" statistical finding - it doesn't sway), and because the risks are much greater than we originally thought.Quote:

Sorry poptart, I didn't have it phrased properly. I thought it was OLE and LR or Cran and LR (forgetting entirely about peppermint tea just cause I hate teas in general lol) In my rush to answer before DS2 tore the head of hair off DS1 I didn't word it right! I take chitosan fibre and folic 1200-1600mcg. I wanted to keep my sway as straight forward as possible and here I am contemplating ways to complicate it! :nyd:Quote:

I think peppermint tea is for the men to drink, not us. Atomic suggested my DH drink it (in addition to cranberry) since he can't do LR. He's been drinking it daily for nearly 3 months now and he swears it's raised his estrogen. He's much more emotional with it. He says he feels like a damn lady. :giggle:
Hahaha brilliant ksmom!
I have gone majorly over on protein today! Damn you nando's [emoji35] everything else is within range! But ive had 91g protein [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]
Crazy how it stacks up so quickly eating meat! Only had a butterfly chicken breast with rice and garlic bread!

Ah I'm jealous! That was one of the hardest things for me with my swaying! I'm not good with protein at ALL.. So I did a very loose HE diet.. Basically just watched my calories but the calories I did eat were HE calories. Tried to avoid fruits though. Mostly fatty foods. And meats when I could!
I'm 8 dpo and these last few days kill me!! Af is due on Saturday so I hope I know before then. I don't want to be sad on Halloween.

Last time I was pregnant we weren't trying, we just pulled the goalie so I figured I'd just wait till AF didn't show up. I've never had to "wait" to find out!
There's a couple of things ive noticed this TWW.. 1) my cervix is really high, hard and pointy and closed firm shut
2) pains in my boobs. Not to touch or anything but shooting pains inside.
Not getting my hopes up though!! If my temp stays up I will be more optimistic!

Ok so I grabbed another 2 pack of FRERs this evening like 5 mins before the store closed. I had just had a pee before going to the store cause I wasn't planning on buying any til tomorrow but as I am out of the house this evening and couldn't wait til morning I had like a two hour hold max and did a test. As you can see I dismantled it, I don't know why I continue to buy FRERs when I dislike them so much! This pic was taken within 5 minutes of taking the test, then I dumped it and am now at a work thing but dwelling on the pic I took! I *think* theres a faint second line but surely at about 5 days past AF day it should be more of a line than a squinter even with only a two hour hold. Does anyone else see the major squinter in this pic? I had made my peace with being out this cycle and debated even posting this but I'm obsessed!!!

Hopper, I feel like I can but I honestly don't know if I'm seeing things. I really hope it is!
lol thanks hun, to be honest I kinda feel like that myself!!! I was fine with being out this month and I am feeling all AF crampy all day today so was truly expecting to see nothing. Of course my line eye has came into play!! I should have waited til the morning.Quote:
