Pb3n I agree u can conceive try preseed
I'm going to start working out again good way to let this depression of mine go away
Hiya,
I'm on CD17 today! Been doing e4d, so we dtd on CD10 and CD 14, next attempt is cd18.
Not doing opk tests this month, trying to keep it stress free and hope that I will have an attempt during a good fertile day :)
On Thursday night (CD15) and through the night while I was in bed, I was aware of really strong crampy feelings and a bit of back pain. I assumed that I must be ovulating. Had had other symptoms through the day also to make me think that.
Today however, I have been feeling very light crampy feelings??! Just a general awareness of slight discomfort if that makes sense lol!! So maybe I am actually ovulating today??? Who knows what on earth is going on in there, would love to see a little screen that shows a clear view of it all haha!!
Will stick with the e4d and have another attempt tomorrow :) guessing that if it doesn't work out this month, I will be ordering in some opks!! X
Fx Jennypenny! and just to let you know I've had o pains sometimes days before actual o so you may or may not have oed yet and its a great idea to continue e4d perhaps even until cd22 to be sure :)
Maiden I cannot wait to see what your temps do the next couple days!
Princessmom I agree that exercise is a great way to combat the blues. Hope you are feeling better soon. Has your doc explained why he wants to wait a month to do u/s?
Afm - bit of a stuff up temping this morning lol. I turned the ac on at 11pm last night as was having trouble sleeping heat wise. Woke at 3am and took temp, turned off ac (without getting out of bed) then fell back asleep past my usual waking time and temped again at 6.15am. There was a huge difference so I've kept the 3am temp of 36.56 as my 6.15am temp was 36.73. My usual temp time is between 5.15 to 5.45am. Do you other ladies that chart agree to keep the 3am temp? Not that it matters, as I said yesterday we tried to bd but dh was unable to finish....

Pbn, I'm not sure. I'd probably keep the 3am temp.
FX jennypenny!
Princess Mom, that sounds like a great way to help with the depression! :)
Afm, af just started full blown. So, I'm definitely out. I hope all of you lovely ladies get your dear sweet babies! :) I might lurk around the HT boards but I'm going to take a break from all this ttc stuff. Thank you all for your support! It has meant more to me than you'll ever know. <3

Sorry to see you go momamia but wishing you the very best whichever way you go!

Sorry Momamia, I really hope you get your rainbow baby in the future.
AFM, AF started today for me as well. CD1 again, but staying hopeful that maybe this will be the cycle. If I get a BFP this month, I will be due really close to DD's birthday, so they would be 3 years apart.
So sorry momamia and tfahn. :(
Good luck jenny!
Pbn3, I would take an average of those 2 temps, or use the later temp. I think regardless, you Oed on CD16 which means you have a good shot!
I'm sorry Momamia and tfahn. :(
I'm sure AF will be here tomorrow. I had a definite temp drop and my temp may be artificially high too as I temped a bit late and slept poorly. I had excess CM yesterday and a little AF type back cramping both yesterday and today. AF may even come late today, as it's done that a couple times in the past 6 months.

My Ovulation Chart
Hi ladies. I'll be 5 DPO tomorrow. I've been feeling extremely tired and irritable for a few days and I've definitely got sore boobs. I don't think I usually get sore boobs in between O and AF but maybe I just cannot remember. Lol. I've also had a bit of a funny throat. The one thing that really stands out for me the most is thwt I have felt abnormally cranky. Poor DH cannot do much right by me at the moment. It's quite unusual, but trying not to read too much into it since all these signs can be PMS things as well. Nothing much to see on my chart yet either I don't think. Anyway, good luck to all you lovely ladies in the 2 ww. :)
Sending you lots of love momamia! ❤️
Team green baby due May 21! [emoji170][emoji166]
I'm so sorry Momamia! I wish you the very best. I'm glad HT is an option for you. Lots of super sticky baby dust to you! :bighug:
Tfahn sorry af came but glad to see your optimistic about this cycle and really hoping it will be your bfp one! Will go be taking prog supplements or similar? Do you see your RE soon?
Maiden hope to see your temp jump right back up tomorrow and wishing af to stay far far away!
Good luck 1moregirl! It's funny what we notice symptom wise when we start paying attention to our body! Hope yours mean a bfp for you! When are you testing?
Afm- temps finally in post o range! Maiden I think you may be right about cd16 o day which is very disappointing for me. Our bd on Wednesday was at 1.00pm but I did insert preseed so hoping that maybe some swimmers survived. Caught myself open mouth breathing early hours of this morning which has me wondering if that could explain my low temps after first spike too? I expected a fallback rise but not three days of it. And if a fallback rise has become my new common shouldn't I have had a dip this morning? Lol will be an interesting cycle to say the least. I plan on testing Sunday as if first spike just happens to be right I'll be 12dpo and af due Monday morning. If she doesn't come then I'll test again Thursday as that will make me 12dpo if I oed cd16. I have a 12 day lp so in the end I think that's going to be what really confirms o day.

Sorry tfahn & momamia.
Maiden - fx for a temp rise & hoping AF stays away.
Good luck 1moregirl.
Pbn - hoping some swimmers made it. It has been a bit of a strange cycle for you temp wise.
Cd12 for me today. Will start opks today as I had some ewcm yesterday but wasn't home to take an opk. I can get many days of watery or ewcm prior to o so don't think I will o till towards the end of the week. Thinking of giving preseed a miss this time. I normally have plenty of cm but have been using it as I read it may slightly sway boy.

Pbn3, just bc you've had fallback cycles some or even most cycles, I wouldn't expect them every time. They're fairly common for me but by no means regular.
1moregirl, I hope your symptoms are a good sign!
I've been having very mild AF lower back cramps on and off all day, such a tease! Also, a lot of extra CM since yesterday. I get a little gush and think AF has arrived! My sore nipples went away completely (as happens a few days before AF in the cycles I have them), but my breasts are still mildly tender. Come on body, don't fool me, just give it to me straight!
Yeah I know maiden its just one of those horrid guessing game cycles for me but what will be will be....
The extra cm sounds promising! I say this as on my bfp cycle I had the same only I didn't literally have gushes of cm. It felt at various times during the day like I was wet down there and I was sure af had come but there was nothing. Had alot internally though. (I knew by this stage I was pregnant as got first pos hpt at 9dpo so really freaked me out when it happened, I would think every time - this is it I'm going to see blood)
Farmgirl is there a reason you want to ditch the preseed?
519b48 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com
They're pretty small gushes, but ive definitely noticed little puddles in my panties a few times today. Most cycles my CM before AF is either minimal or close to watery/EWCM if not outright mixed with some fertile CM or sometimes I spot lightly. This is just very creamy CM but more like the amount I have leading up to O before my CM turns fertile. I do have excess creamy CM in early pregnancy. BUT I think it could be due to my taking Clomid last cycle as I had tons of fertile CM this cycle and more creamy CM after O than usual, too. Like a backlash effect from being so dry on Clomid.
FWIW, this always happens to me when I'm pregnant. It's usually a little clue before a positive HPT. FX and TX!!!Quote:

Keeping fx for you maiden that this is a good sign.
Pbn - just thinking that maybe since I usually have plenty of cm I don't need preseed & that maybe it's not helping me conceive. I never used it or any type of lube before ttc in the past. Actually the only time i have ever needed lube has been while breastfeeding otherwise I normally have enough cm. Not really sure what to do.

AF showed yesterday :(
I am disappointed as I hoped a bfp would solve my dilemma for this month......my OB is wanting me to start femara this cycle but the only reason I started clomid was firstly, to up my chances of multiples and secondly, sway girl. I know femara is a great girl sway but I am wondering if I should just ttc this month without it? I have read about women not getting pregnant on clomid and then the month after they get a bfp as the clomid is still in their system? I'm not sure if the clomid would still be effective for swaying multiples though? Or maybe because the clomid is still in my system it would still up my chance of multiples regardless of the femara? Any thoughts on this? Sorry if I am not clear; I realize I am rambling a bit!
I've missed a lot since I was last on, so excuse me as I still have to go back and catch up :)
Good luck Maiden. Hope this is your chance for a sticky BFP Hun. :) xxQuote:

So I got my pink lines
We last dtd 2 days before positive OPK so 3 to 4 days before ovulation
Not sure if we swayed enough to get my wee girl 😕😕

Well ladies I'm back, per say. I've been hanging around staying caught up on everyone everyday since my d&c in January. Got my first AF since procedure 38 days after but the week leading up to it I had the worse intense pain I had ever had, worse than childbirth, miscarrying, and d&c combined. I was in bed 3 days out of the 7 because it hurt to move. Things got better and I got +opk Friday night and Saturday morning. Crossing my fingers this month is it. If not then I'll start temping again next cycle. Been emotional ride for DH and I. He realized how much he did really want another baby. My sister had her baby girl 2 weeks ago, SIL will have her baby girl next month, and 2 cousins will have their babies the month after that. It's emotionally draining because I want to be pregnant and bring our last wee one into the world. Preferably lil girl but I'll be happy either way right now.
Wow lildudesez!! Congratulations and hope you hear pink!
Farmgirl if you're unsure what to do why not alternate bd's with and without preseed? You're swaying boy right? Should be multiple chances do attempt with and without?
Honeybug sorry af arrived :( hope you get a bfp this cycle! The clomid should stay in your system about 6 weeks I think? Not sure about whether it significantly decreases odds of multiples or not. Maiden knows alot about clomid,I'm sure she'll advise her thoughts when she sees your post.
Signingmommy welcome back! Fx you get your rainbow baby this cycle!
So my docs office rang and said doc wanted to see me??? I had already rung a couple days after bw was done and the message was 'no further action' which meant everything was fine and she didn't need to see me. Wondering if one of the results wasn't in at the time. Bit of a mystery so I've booked in to see her on Thursday which is also cd21 - may get prog bw done again. Would love to get in earlier but she's away for two days :(

Hey Signing. Sooo glad to see you back again. I hope you get a sticky pink BFP soon. I've only just had first attempt and am 5 DPO today. Hoping we all get BFP with bubbies that stay put this time. Good luck Hun! :)Quote:

Is that an OPK or HPT? What brand?Quote:

Farmgirl, natural CM is far superior to PreSeed or anything similar so if you have plenty of fertile CM I definitely wouldn't use anything. It could indeed lower your chances of conception and blue.
Honeybug, I'm sorry. Clomid stays in your system about 6w so it's worth not taking anything next cycle. You will still have an increased chance of multiples relative to a natural cycle or Femara, but not quite as high as the cycle actually on Clomid. Taking Femara this cycle wouldn't counteract your odds of multiples, that lingering effect of Clomid would remain unchanged. You'd just have stronger, possibly earlier O and possibly improved egg quality - plus higher odds of pink. So if you will have unlimited Femara for future cycles I'd definitely take it this cycle. If however your dr will only give you a few cycles worth, I'd wait until next cycle to take it, in order to get the most out of the meds. I hope that made sense.
Signing, I'm sorry about the hard time you've been having, both physically and emotionally. But I'm thrilled to see you back here TTC and I so hope you caught the egg.
I'm definitely out; the cats woke me before the crack of dawn, AGAIN, and so I temped earlier than usual but there is no denying my huge temp drop. I'm expecting AF to arrive within a couple hours, likely before my usual temping time. At least I got a few hours warning this month. I think I will do both Clomid and a couple days of low dose FSH (Gonal-F) injections in hopes of getting more eggs from my left, lazy ovary. Hopefully I can get my HSG booked for April before O, to determine if my right tube was damaged by my ectopic 4 years ago.

Maiden I'm assuming its a hpt as lildudesez posted previously she was in 2ww. I thought on first glance the same thing initially about it being an opk lolQuote:

So I rang my doc's office again and they confirmed its the amh results doc wants to see me about. They obviously werent back when I originally rang for results. Good news is my doc is now going to be in tomorrow so I see her at 11.30 for what I can only assume is bad news.

Huge congrats lildudesez! How many DPO were you when you got that line? This was your first cycle TTC, right?
Pbn3, fx the news isn't bad.
Maiden I'm so bummed to see that temp drop :( sounds like a great plan for next cycle

Does anyone else feel the way I do? I sometimes feel like I'm punishing myself staying active in these forums, the people I started with are now starting to deliver their babies and yet here I am still ttc and I can't help but think I'm going to get bad news tomorrow which is only amplifying my sadness. I am genuinely happy for every bfp that is posted and recieved the same warmth and happiness when I finally got mine, then sympathy and shared sadness when I lost it. I love being a part of this forum, the support is absolutely amazing and like nothing I could get or ask for IRL. I also love supporting everyone old and new in theirs and am a little guilty of feeling especially happy when I see a bfp from someone who has struggled or endured a loss in their journey. I am also very very happy and somewhat envious I'll admit for those who fall pregnant in one or two cycles - but we all want our baby so badly and to see a bfp from anyone regardless of how long they've been ttc is a godsend and offers the hope that maybe it will be my turn next. I'm letting all this out as I don't know how I'm going to cope tomorrow if/when I'm told my eggs quantity/quality are shit - pardon the french please - and I have no idea where to go from there. I'm trying so hard to think the worst so I don't burst into tears before my doc even opens her mouth but I feel so alone right now :( poor dh is being wonderful and has even said 'we could maybe look at seeing a FS but we'd have to investigate costs/time factor etc' I feel bad because he's only doing this for me and I think he only said that because I'm so upset. Anyway sorry for the spill, again its what I said I love about this site so I don't think I could leave here even if I thought I wanted to lol

Maiden - I'm sooo bummed for you as well. I really thought it was going to happen for you this cycle, but I hope it will be next cycle. Xx
Pbn3 - I hope your news tomorrow isn't too bad Hun. I have heard of women with low AMH readings still getting pregnant with sticky babies my dear so don't go giving up hope just yet. My own reading was only 6.5 and normal is around 14 I think (althgh 14 would be for more youthful ladies). Whereabts in Australia are you? I'm in Melbourne. Sometimes I feel guilty for wanting one last baby sooo badly, espeically when I had my Mum here yesterday telling me how I could easily have died during my last miscarriage. Comments like that make me feel as though I am being guilty and selfish for wanting one last one. Does that even make sense? Anyway, I'm fully prepared this time so that if I do lose this one as well I won't be trying again since I've already been blessed with 3 beautiful and healthy children. I even had cold feet prior to the attempt and nearly completely backed out of it altogether as sometimes the thought of being pregnant and worried about miscarrying scares the hell out of me.
Anyway, good luck to those of you still in the 2WW and to those of you for whom AF has arrived, I pray and hope that next month will be your lucky BFP one. Tomorrow I'll be 6DPO so will be interesting to see what BBT I will get. I'm trying to stay busy and forget about it but it's soooo hard not to get a bit excited about a BFP.
It's definitely hard. I hate that I'll be 35 in a week snd still have no kids, I'm worried bc I used to conceive so ridiculously easily/quickly but haven't had even a hint of a BFP in 4 years, so now something must really be wrong. I'm very jealous of those with children already, and other swayers who have had 1-2 children since I joined the site. But I can't stop looking at baby pics either, and I love hearing about everyone's kids. It is a strange paradox.
I wouldn't jump to assuming bad news yet, though I know how that's almost impossible. Your AMH could be fine or even great and your dr may just want to go over options with you now that another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. Even if your AMH is low, that isn't necessarily dire. I've seen so very many ladies with low or even undetectable AMH, and often other issues like high FSH, conceive naturally. It does often take a while, but I feel I see more happy endings than not.
Pbn3, can you tell me more about your situation? How many kids, how old you were when you conceived them, how quickly you conceived them, how old you are now, how many cycles TTC while charting and sure that BD was timed well, any other health issues you or DH have? Have you had an HSG and has DH had a SA? Can you share your exact hormone tesr results? I don't know that I'll be able to offer anything useful, but maybe others will have insights if I don't.
You are not alone, that's for sure. There are msny of us who feel similarly. I've been depressed since my loss 4 years ago and my depression is only getting worse due to my continued failure TTC and my worsening chronic pain/spinal condition (which pregnancy would help more than any treatment, ironically). It's awful and unfair having a biological deadline on fertility. Men have NO clue how fortunate they are.
Hi everyone hope you can help me out again :) ive had two failed ivf transfers the most recent in feb. Period arrived 2nd 3rd March so I decided to try natural sway. Not given myself much time tho. I bought a testing kit on thursday and started trying it out on Friday 9/10 days into my cycle said low fertility and I took my temp in am and it was 38.6, I missed sat but temp was 36.7 and Sunday am it was 36.8. When I tested sunday am I was 36.8 and highly fertile apparently :/ very confused as fridAy was nill. Got it on late last night on the hope that the time would be enough before I ovulate to get pink there not blue. My temp this morning was 36.9 so do you think I should leave it now and see what happens? Because it's the smiley faces one and I'm at most fertile I can't test again for 48 hours so until tomorrow very annoying! To add on to the stress I decided to have a practise run on Friday night with husband to get rid of the blue faster swimmers. Worried now incase I do get pregnant and it blue. Didn't think it would happen this month due to ivf drugs etc. can anyone shed light on this weird fertile mon fertile situation x
