Love that idea Ash! We'll have our moment to get our cute shirts...so hard to be patient though!
Boywish-yay, that's great to hear! Share a pic :)

I know. I also want to do something cute like this since we will stop after this one. I would love to have more than 2 but not sure about dh. I come from a big family and always wanted big. Let's hope for our bfp. Fx fx.

Boywish - That's awesome. Ya. Waiting to see the pic. We love bfps.

Iwant4kids and Pbn3, I think you may be right. I had no spotting or anything today. We've had unprotected BD a couple times now, including today [emoji15]
I'm going to have to look up the BBT adjuster. I decided to temp again today just in case.

Pbn3: Have you DTD yet since AF? Did you talk about protection? Hop ntnp is possible xo
Maxim: Sorry I don't know anything about the saline sono...How did you go getting in touch with the hospital?
Skyblue, Ash & Lola: So glad it's nearly O day and you'll be in the TWW soon!!!!
Ash: Sounds like a good BDing plan! Hope it works. I don't announce until 12 weeks, BUT I always end up telling close family and friends earlier. I want to make sure all is okay first.
Boywish: Yay congrats!
Babypink: Was the spotting mixed with EWCM? I've had that at O day before.
AFM: Went back to work today :( I have a scan at 4:30pm tomorrow (which I think is close to midnight for those in the US?). Sooooo nervous. Then I see my ob the next day at 2:45pm. He also has a scanner, but the quality isn't as good, so I feel better about having a clear scan first. Preparing for the worst, but hoping for good news xo I'll let you know ASAP!
Hi Ladies I'm back to catch up. Sorry if I miss anyone
AshFind - I hope you get to join the DD board soon. I'm too nervous to go in there yet. I have been seeing an Osteo this time around while TTC & I think there is some truth to their voodoo work [emoji4]
Maxim - that's a shame about having to miss the sono & medicated cycle. A friend of mine had a blocked tube - she went on to have a boy and fell not long after her procedure
Iwant4kids - great news about you hcg levels. I had spotting with DD1 at about 5ish weeks and all went ok. Good luck with your scan
Babypinkno3 - I'm not sure about mid cycle spotting but agree it could be O spotting. Sucks if it is indeed AF - 2 weeks apart is just not fair!
Skyblue- fingers crossed for you!
Pbn3-agree hope the ntnp is a possibility
AFM - had my blood test done today hcg =68. I'm worried this is low I'm 3 weeks and 4 days. My Hcg was in the 300s with DD around the same time so hence the concern.
Here are photos of my 2hpts (2 days apart)

Boywish - tests look great! My HCG was way lower...7! Try to relax and if you can get some repeat bloods done.

Just a quick drop in :) I want4kids cannot wait until your scan update!!!! I'll be popping in to check 😀
Boywish that is beautiful progression on your tests. Please pay absolutely no mind to what the 'number' was if you are not getting 48 hour betas. Every pregnancy is different. If its worrying you ask for a another blood test tomorrow but honestly your progression is looking great!
Good luck babypink!!! Will be watching for updates!
Hi sky, maxim, lola and ash! I miss you girls too!! I'm still watching from behind the scenes 😎 (ok what I just said and that emojo is kinda creepy 😂)
My update is I haven't talked to dh about ntnp. I'm going to just go along with any bd he initiates and not 'try' to get a bd in around o time purposely. To me if I initiate it around o then it means I'm still trying (if that makes sense) and I'm not. I am done and am so happy about the thought of not being in a 2ww shortly!!!! I'm just going to let fate decide basically, if dh wants to bd and it so happens its around o time then what will be will be :)
I'll still be around to check in on all of you, especially when the action really starts 😀😀 bring on those pos opks!!!!!
Maxim any update from you? Is this cycle still out or........??
Thanks iwant4kids and pbn3 - you have given me some great reassurance. I need to step away from google as well I think. I'm seeing the GP on Thursday so will ask for another form & have it tested again which will be 48hrs - fingers crossed.
Pbn3 - your bd plan sounds good. I think your outlook of what will be will be is a good one.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
pbn, I also like that plan! That was the same situation with DD2 (we were ntnp), and let me tell you, she's the absolute BEST thing that has happened to us!
Iwant4 - good luck, please keep us posted!
Boywish - those tests look great!
AFM, I'll call the local sono today and see if they can squeeze me in this week. If so, it was meant to be...if not, it wasn't. I am going to have to take this approach this cycle and not stress about it, since it's really out of my control. What is meant to be will be. :)
Really trying to calm myself and not stress also max! It's so easy but it's not going to make the time fly any faster.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Totally, Ash! In fact, the cycle before last I got so overstressed about O, swaying, etc. and it delayed my O from my typical CD17-25 all the way to CD38!!
Boywish-good looking lines! Thanks for sharing :) Fx everything is perfectly fine!!
Iwant4kids-boo for work, but yay for getting closer to your appt!! Can't wait to hear & fx it's a sigh of relief!! How many weeks now?
Maxim-keep us posted! Hope they can fit you in!!
Pbn-sounds like a good plan! Fx a nice surprise comes out of it, but sounds like you're in a really good, happy place :) Love that you're still "behind the scenes" here [emoji41]
Sounds like a lot of you are staying calm & letting nature take it's course! I like the relaxing vibes...I need to chillax a little ;)
Keep Calm & BD On!
My Ovulation Chart
Hi everyone.
Funny stuff. I put my digi opk on counter to see the result and went to do something in the room and someone knocked at the door and was my chatty Neighbour. By the time I came back to check, it went blank. So I have no idea about my digi today. It can't be solid yet since I m only 12 dpo. Testing with wondfo now. [emoji51]
Not there yet. [emoji4]how about Lola n Ash??
Will read n come bk.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
If you hadn't already pulled out the strip it will come back on when you pull it out and stay on for another 3min.
I've been craving junk like something else today!! Potato chips and sweets aka donut. WTH
I Od on CD 16 last cycle so I still have a week to go. This is nearly as bad as the tww! Ok so how long should you not have the big O before oing?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Sky, I agree with ash about the digi, when you eject the test stick the result will come back up. Doesn't matter anyway though as it would still be on the screen if it was a solid smiley :)
Ash I wouldn't put too much emphasis on not having the big o. Atomic herself had the big o on her one attempt when she conceived dd, I personally know of at least another two ladies that also did as well. Just enjoy and if you o you o, if you don't you don't :) make it one less thing to worry about IMO :) if you definately want it as part of your sway then avoid having the big o when your opks start darkening...
For some reason I cant see your chart? I click on the link but it just shows an example chart and won't let me scroll down to your current chart?
I know I've seen that there to if I ever click on it from here. Weird and annoying! I'm on cd9 and only have 3 temps logged so far. And of course BD on cd 6,7, and 8 🤣
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
😂😂😂 about the bd's 😂😂😂 you crack me up 😂😂😂
It almost makes it easier ttc girl with no big O as I can say just hurry up [emoji13].
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Anyone else ever feel like it's just so far out of reach to have a girl? Like you'd be in a dream if it were to actually happen? With all the boys in this house it just seems impossible I keep telling myself I'm going to buy baby girl clothes from the time I get pregnant and just save receipts so I can return/exchange for boys stuff when the time comes to find out gender. I feel like that's honestly the only way I'll ever be able to buy them. Kinda like living a fantasy for 11 weeks. Carters is having a 70% off sale and I'm so tempted to buy a cute little girly outfit since I've never bought one before lol
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Ash thats how i feel atm. To be honest i just feel like giving up and being happy with my lot.
I was researching what is causing my stranger tender crampy BBs as it feels like my previous pregnancy symptoms. Well i found caffeine and salty food can cause it as its a vasodilator. It tends to be on the outer breast (whereas it was all over, mainly at the nipple with pregnancy- but this is still off putting). Feel better in having some answers i thought i was going crazy 🤣
Good to finall

Ash-we're both on cd9! I O'd around CD12-14 last time.
Skyblue-getting close! You'll be first up to test I think!!
I'm going to try to stick with e3d and once at pos OPK, but Friday is our anniversary, so may be a little difficult to stick to the plan this weekend!!
Fun fact-it's a new moon next Wed in the US for any pink swayers BDing ;) That may be you Ash!
My Ovulation Chart
Ash & Netti-yes...me too! So many people on the outside looking in like to comment and add their two cents "when you have one gender, you usually have more of the same" etc etc & it's so discouraging! I've def imagined what it would feel like to finally get my girl & it really would feel like winning the lottery to me!! For now, I buy dresses for my nieces. Funny how my macho, outdoorsy brothers got the girls and prissy me got the boys haha. I'm trying to keep positive thoughts & not accepting any thought that this may be a boy. Many people have girls everyday, so I can too!! I realize I'm setting myself up for major disappointment if I get an opposite, but at the moment, I'm telling myself that it's not going to be an issue and I will have my baby girl :) Ash-Were you swaying pink for any of your others?
My Ovulation Chart
Isn't it strange how some of us want a boy so bad and some are working so
Hard to get their girls. I just get overwhelmed when I read how you all are craving to have a girl and I am looking up ways to have a boy. [emoji854]
Is it just me or you guys feel that too.
Fwiw, I have really started appreciating the things I get to do because of dd even more. I would
love to experience being a boy mom and do all the things that you all do with your boys too.
Just wanted to share my thoughts.
Ash and Lolla - I m on cd12 and for some reason I am not going crazy with POAS this cycle. I have a lot going
on these days so that may be a reason too. So far the lines are still
Light on wonfos and will see about the digi tomorrow morning. I guess I have this feeling that it's not going to happen as soon as I thought and may be I am trying to make my peace with it and keep trying.
Or may be I am going to go nuts once Opks are positive. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
You guys are on same cds. So exciting.

Hope everything went well Iwant4

Okay....sorry for the delay! Got home right at dinner prep time, then baths, books etc etc
So good news is.....it's not an ectopic! Good news, there was a sac in my uterus, but that's it small so far. He said I'm too early to give a good indication of gestation, but it looks like 4-5 weeks. I should be 5weeks 6 days (from my dates). He said there MIGHT be a tiny yolk sac in the corner, but he said the only way to know how things are going is to keep looking at HCG progression and repeat scans. I'm seeing my ob tomorrow and he will give more more of an indication.
EDIT: Just checked and sac is measuring 4 weeks 6 days (so exactly 1 week behind)
The thing that is keeping me going is that my nausea is getting worse, heart burn, lines are getting darker, soooooo bloated and I am super tired.
I have analysed my FF chart with lots of details to share with my ob as I do not believe my dates could be out. My blood test on CD21 was positive for ovulation. I'll share it from my phone now and I would love to hear your thoughts.

Iwant4kids I think *maybe* two eggs were fertilised. Perhaps the first didn't implant properly but the second did (hence the bleeding, cramping and not quite doubling hcg that one occasion) possibly 2nd egg did implant properly but on the later side(hence the good doubling and more). Also scans this early cannot be relied on for dating purposes, it'll be closer to 7/8 week scan that will give you a better indication. Your betas are going great which is very promising. Sometimes things don't add up initially but make sense down the track 😊 I'm surprised he said it looks 4/5 weeks as if that was the case I honestly wouldn't think there'd be anything to pick up at all even via transvaginal scan??? Please keep us updated with your betas and great to hear your symptoms are increasing 😀
Pbn3: Thank you sooooo much! I think you may be right! I just hope that things catch up soon. My ob is such an optimist that I'm really looking forward to seeing him (strarting with a big hug!). He will do another scan too, which will be great.
I really appreciate your thoughts, I knew you'd keep me going :)
Great news Iwant4 😁😁

Oh yay! If i O on cd16 that'll be Tuesday so it'll be super close!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Ok so my tapatalk was not updating the oh yay was for Lola and the moon cycle lol.
Iwant4kids this is great news! I had a scan at 4wsoemthing days and it showed only a sac and then I had a repeat in exactly a week and we got a hb at 5w6d!
Sky it is crazy how easily I have boys and I can't have girls.
Lola id never heard of swaying with my others I wish I had (not that I don't wish I didn't have all my boys now) because this will be my one and only chance at swaying.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
And Lola that mind set is good to just tell yourself your having a girl. My sil had her first girl after her husband had already had 2 and then she was selling everything in a yard sale and I told her your nuts what are you doing. And her reply "I'm not having a girl next it's going to be a boy!" And after her hubby having 3 girls have her a boy! I couldn't believe it. And she's a tom boy and dresses her girl like a boy and it just gets me the wrong way because I'm the prissy one here lol and I can't have a girl!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Haha Ash-I'm not going to the extreme of selling everything, but keeping positive pink thoughts!! I'm not superstitious, but lately I'm feeling a little superstitious in my actions (if that makes sense). I'm holding on to all of my boy clothes b/c if I get rid of them, I afraid I'll have a boy. We moved to a new house recently and one of the bedrooms was pink. I felt like if I didn't paint it a neutral color, then I'd have a boy lol. I guess it's a way of feeling in control of things you can't control!
Skyblue-yes it's funny how we want what the other has...grass is always greener haha. Really I think hoping for another gender is related to the experiences we've had and also wanting to experience the joy of raising opposite genders (or all the same b/c of a unique bond).
Oh and Ash-it looks like the start of the new moon phase is on Tuesday, so positive fertile pink vibes!!
Iwant4kids-thanks for updating! Fx that all is well! It is sounding good with your hcg getting stronger and with the things pbn3 and Ash mentioned-really sounds promising!!!
Iwant4kids- So happy to see the update. Yay for the symptoms getting stronger. Keep us posted when U see the OB. Fx.
Ash and Lolla - Where are u at with opks?
I get the being superstitious part Lolla. I also don't give all my Dds clothes away yet since I think I am not going to have a boy if I did. Funny how mind works. However I did give her baby clothes to her cousin.
Good luck to you both for your around the full moon attempt.
I got the flashing smiley today. Showtime soon.

How exciting sky! Makes me want to buy the digis just so I know when it's coming lol. I'm going to hold off and play it low this month. I'm using wondfo still light line. I'm going to also try to not test till 10dpo with IC. But that's unlikely to happen [emoji23]
