Gah I still can't work out how to link it and kids are going crazy I'll try again tonight x
I think I'm going to try to wait until next Thursday- 11 dpo. Any negatives before then would just be a mind game after so many months of negatives :) I got my positives with my first two at 11 dpo, so that's my "magic" date in my head lol!!Quote:

Excited to keep tracking you kitten!! FX FX
I hear you all on the sleep problems too. Last night I got goid sleep but several of the nights last week sleep was not great, although in my case I think it was more me and DH than my 3 year old.
Temp still up. I don't know how many DPO or when I will start testing. Pbn thought FF was wrong in marking O.
Last night DH finally clarified why he is so depressed lately and it is half of what I feared. He is dreading having another pregnancy and baby, feeling like we have it good with 1 kid and that 2 will be overwhelming and depress him. He is willing to keep TTC in his resigned "it has always been too late for me to have the kind if life I really want" way. I kind of get his perspective- life is much easier with just one and focusing on your own joy when youve had a rough childhood is understandable- but mothering my son is probably the most joyful experience of my life and he seems to enjoy parts of parenting. There is a ticking clock here!. I hope to have another child, boy or girl (hopefully girl), and I am angry and sad that he always has to be like this about what could be joyful parts of life. I wish I had a partner who at least sometimes could share more joy about what I feel joyful about. And I don't feel i can go to him for support about TTC because of all this. I am grateful to you women for listening.

Hello kiku, im cd15 and still no positive opk, every month is different for me:(
I would like pink baby dust from u too:awe:
I understand u gafan, husbands are complicated:( try not to speak about ttc and just let him do what he likes. My husband now after many months of ttc he wants to take it in his “hands” so i really hope he will tired and doesnt want to dtd so often:)
I've responded a few times but my posts keep being sent to a moderator...?? Hopefully this one works.
I'll wait until 11 dpo. That's when I had my positives with my first two. Anything before then is a mind game and I don't want to expose myself to more negatives than I need to after so many months of them.
Gafan- I'm sorry. Hugs. TTC is stressful enough without that added burden. I hope it happens for you soon.
Noemi- I see your chart now! Don't know how I missed it. I hope you get that positive OPK soon, I know how hard it is just waiting for it to be positive. I'm sorry you don't have predictable times either to lean on when you're trying to figure it all out.
Officially driving myself crazy!
9DPO- resisting all urges to test, despite cramps, super duper irritated [emoji36] and waking up at 4am!! Seriously why???
Had another temp rise this morning, but I know it doesn’t mean anything .
Everyone is sick here, so I haven’t gone out of the house much .
Thank goodness for work over the next 3 days so I can distract myself.

Gafan huge hugs and total understanding [emoji173] My husband was on board initially for a 3rd but only just, then he got to fed up and started *sulking* as I used to say. I finally explained to him what having another meant to me and why I wanted it so much and it bought me another year or so. After our 2 first losses though I didn't think I'd be able to get him to agree to try again but I did by putting a time limit on it (he's the type of personality that can work to set in stone dates [emoji19])
In my honest opinion I'd stop talking to your dh about it and just keep on trying as long as he is willing to dtd unprotected. Don't mention bding as 'attempts', make him think your wanting the intamicy [emoji6] (not saying you don't of course, just laughing at myself here) just initiate intercouse when its 'go time' without explanation? Do you think that would work? At the end of the day another baby doesn't affect him any really and he will love bub whole heartedly once he/she is here. For you, this is a calling/desire/need and want which you are so within your rights to have. Us women give up so much (willingly) for our family so I believe we should have a much stronger say in when our families are complete [emoji173] I cannot wait to keep watching your chart and while I believe ff has prematurely allocated your crosshairs it is definately possible it is right as well. Just be aware though come testing time you have the possibility of being 2dpo later [emoji4]
Kikurose I don't know how you abstain from testing [emoji12]
Your chart is interesting because your temps are so leveled out after o! Normally I wouldn't read anythimg into temps until 6dpo onwards though (earliest implantation can affect them) however I have seen the odd chart that looks good from the get go. Looking forward to the next week of temps [emoji3]
Hopeful are you charting??!!! Give us a link!!! Cant wait till testing time rolls around! Do you have your hpts ready? [emoji12] What type and how many??!! [emoji23]

Yeah men are weird when it comes to that! With DS2 my hubby wanted to take a break, it was getting too much. So I stopped talking about it. Maybe we get obsessed and talk to much 🤣
This time, I just told my DH e4d ( mon and thur ) and he reminds me [emoji23]
I’m not sure if the chart works?
I tried to share it, but it wouldn’t let me [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
I have about 20 internet one and 2 first response? That should be enough? [emoji6]
I’ll see if I can hang out until Sunday. That will be 11DPO...

Hopeful your chart looks really good!!!! Have you got a previous one to compare to?
Pbn, thank you for your validation. I do feel that women ought to have a more valued voice in the decision of when to keep trying to add to a family and when to stop trying.
I don't usually talk with DH about attempts and fertility cycle. I hide the opks etc. But the temping thermometer beeps when it is done and he feels weird about the tim8ng stuff. Moving to every 3-4 days might help or might not, we'll see.
It is nice to know that others have also gone through similar situations. Swaying adds another layer of complicated to TTC.

I'll be back to ttc next month probably, I had a D&C a few days ago, miscarried at 9/3 weeks.
I know some of you had similar terrible experience, could you please tell me when it is OK to get back to normal life, like exercise, DTD, etc., doctors here like to recommend pretty long wait intervals, which I don't think is necessary, so I wonder about more realistic and safe time frames.
Oh sunstars. I'm so sorry. I don't have any advice, but I know my SIL was advised to wait one cycle before TTC again, but they decided to wait two. She got pregnant on her third cycle after her D and C.Quote:

My ob was quite strict and had me wait out three cycles following the d&c one, which sucked because it felt sooo long but in hindsight I was glad as I had a few emotional issues to work through. I've seen plenty of people advised cycle following is considered safe though. It will ultimately come down to you and what you feel comfortable with. Sending you hugs and strength at this awful time [emoji173]
Oh sunstars I am so sorry for your loss, it's such a difficult time & I can understand you wanting to get back into it, planning and moving forward was my way of coping (or maybe just keeping the mind busy). I think what your body is quite used to exercise wise shouldn't hurt. When it comes to ttc let your instincts guide you. Take care of yourself and I will see you in the ttc threads and seeing you get your sticky little one soon.
Well kinda CD1 today, or not, bit unsure... So Ill be actively back! I must admit my trying to keep away from here was very difficult. I missed you all!!!!! It's amazing how this forum allows us such to develop such connections despite never having met. Hope you are all feeling positive and hopeful.
Emshe sooo good to have you back!!! Really hope it is cd1!!
Abc how are you?
Sunstars, I am sorry for your loss. I had a D&C in December and was advised to wait to least one full cycle until TTC. They didn't put any limits on exercise or protected sex, so I think whatever exercise you are used to and whatever you feel like with sex would be fine. I didn't exercise for awhile, and I didn't feel like having sex much. I was kind of surprised by how long it took for me to stop bleeding, and I heard it is normal for some women to bleed awhile, stop, and then bleed again without it being AF yet. Slow down a bit, if you can, to slow grieving, and be extra kind and gentle with yourself. (Many of us have felt irrational guilt with pregnancy loss, but of course it was not your fault.) Take good care.

Sunstars - I'm so, so sorry. Please take care of yourself - it's so terrible going through this kind of loss especially after you think things are going well and then suddenly, they aren't. :( My OBGYN and RE basically advise waiting a full cycle and until you have a "normal" AF again. My OB also told me I could resume exercise whenever I was ready, but I didn't have much bleeding so I'd say make sure you feel physically ok before starting again. We're here for you!
Gafan - Sorry about DH :( That's frustrating. I can't really relate as my DH is still very much wanting a 3rd and it's actually me who keeps asking him if we really should keep trying or not since I pretty frequently now feel like I'm ready to give up. Not that I don't want a 3rd as much as him (and I def want a girl more than he does), but this past year has drained me more than him. I know a lot of ladies on here though have struggled with their DHs in terms of continuing to ttc so you're in the right place to vent!! :)
Kikurose have you tested? Hopeful have you tested? Anyone else close to testing? Kitten do you think you've def ovulated yet? HGMama any news on your end?
Pbn - thanks for asking... I'm... eh, ok. I think I O'd late on Monday or early on Tuesday and since then I've been hit with a lot of feelings of regret about TTC-ing this cycle. I don't know that I was fully emotionally ready to try again and now I have really mixed feelings about possibly being pregnant. I feel like I don't want to go through it all again - getting a BFP, watching the FRER lines, getting betas done, worrying about the gender... possibly miscarrying, etc. etc. I also feel like I didn't give myself enough time back on the diet after my m/c and I have this strong sense already that if we got pregnant it will be a boy. I was really excited before O to try and have our attempt and since then it's basically been all regret - wasn't expecting to feel like that. I've also gotten horrible sleep all week, waking up a lot earlier than normal every day too so I know my temps aren't accurate. I have a cold or a sinus infection and DS2 has had a high fever since yesterday so it's just been a weird week. Thinking I wont test until Friday - feel like I'll be able to hold off longer this time since again I don't even know if I want a BFP.
Oh and emshe YAY!!!! Glad to see you back!!!!!!!!
Sunstars- I'm sorry for your loss. ABC and I both had our d&c's this year. My doc wanted me to wait until we confirmed it was a non-molar pregnancy and that my hcg levels dropped to a hpt was negative. It took a little bit longer (3 weeks) for me since I was 11 weeks by the time of my d&c. I would have been able to dtd protected until then but had some irregular bleeding so I had to hold off a bit longer. I'm learning that everyone's healing process is different and there's lots of different opinions on when to try again. Although we are actively TTC, I don't think my body truly got the hint so I'll be calling the doc on Monday.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6d1f2c
Got the Saturday blues. Didn't even test today. We are traveling this weekend. 3 hr drive last night, 2.5 hr this morning, sleeping at SIL. And we'll be going to a soccer game tomorrow 1.5 hrs away and then we will have a total of 7ish hrs of driving tomorrow. To say the least, sleep is screwy, and intentionally forgetting to test today doesn't bother me. I guess I've already decided that I'm calling doc on Monday morning.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6d1f2c
Sunstars very sorry for your loss:broken::sadflwr:
I'm So sorry sunandstars that is just heartbreaking to go through. Sending lots of healing thoughts your way and agree with the girls that one whole cycle would be a good idea but I think exercise, once you feel up to it, can only do you good both physically and mentally xx
Emshe welcome back xx
So sorry about your dh Gafan but I agree with the others you are the one to carry and birth and do most of the child raising so if it's in your soul to have another child you just have to follow your heart xx
ABC no I don't think I've o'd yet! Very confusing cycle so I'm just keeping up with e4d and not even testing opks anymore!
Kiku are you testing soon?
HGmama that is one exhausting weekend!
Noemi and eighme have you attempted/ o'd yet?
Thinking of all you girls this cycle sending you all sticky baby dust x
ABC you've been on my mind. My entire house is sick too, something going around our island I think. I don't have much to say except I wish I could give you a big huge hug.
I think I'm going to wait to test on Thursday at 11 dpo. I've been feeling very very down about this cycle and just fatigued from trying and nothing. I know people try for much longer than six months, so I should get it together, but given the huge move I'm in the middle of and everything else it's just weighing on me. I'm really kicking myself for not DTD after our main attempts, but we were both sick and so exhausted. I think being sick is also messing with my normally positive mindset too lol.
Can't wait for others to test! FX for lots of sticky positives this month!!

Kikurose - I'm sorry you've been sick as well and that you've been feeling down too. I understand you though - being in this process for a long time is really hard. Hoping this is your month. Your chart looks good so far! :)
Does anyone have TERRIBLE hunger in the tww? I've been starving all day today - way more than normal!! Maybe it's the lack of sleep and stress and generally not feeling great about things that's making me want to eat but it's awful. Trying hard not to "symptom spot" b/c of it and I know it could also be higher progesterone making me so hungry, which could be just a result of the Clomid and not necessarily anything more. High progesterone causes hunger yea??
Thanks kikurose!
Yes ABC, I'm starving! May be the PMS symptoms too. Today I had red meat. I've been no red meat all week and then my MIL made beef strogonaoff for dinner. What do you do when that happens? This is my first real attempt at the LE diet.
Anyone know why I'm getting two links in my signature instead of one? I only pasted one!

Thanks hon, we seem to be getting better sleep...and she’s finally putting on decent weight after a few weeks of not putting on enough. :) if we keep going with only one feed at night I will feel human soon again lolQuote:

Kitten, weird indeed that you dont seem to have Od yet..I know that my O s with Clomid were early but then again it seems that when I have a good quality O. And conceive it s always on CD 11-12 ish (which was the case for dd3, though no fertility treatments).
Could be that your 1st PPAF wasn’t that Long ago, and your body is still adjusting ..the Clomid may not have done its thing because of that?
ABC, I had progesterone pessaries for my 3 girls, and not sure about hunger but tiredness for sure was a thing while on it. Since it mimics pregnancy symptoms , it’s not unreasonable that it could cause hunger!! Fx for you !!! The tww is terrible
Kitten, we've had two attempts. I'm not charting or tracking in anyway and leaving it up to the universe! Crossing my fingers we got it and I'll be getting a BFP by the end of the month.Quote:

Thanks girls.
I think today is o day finally but I will see over the next days to confirm.
Having pretty strong o pains, cervix and cm all indicate its close so fx!
We had attempt on Friday and will have attempt tomorrow to keep up e4d pattern.
Thanks LMSM I have had about 4 postpartum cycles now so I hope my body feels ready to get pregnant again. I think the clomid did work and my body tried to o a week ago but for some reason decided not to? Might have overdone exercise and LE diet? Not sure ��
So glad your baby girl is sleeping better LMSM she is doing better than my ds2 who is 17 months lol!
ABC hunger is my main pregnancy symptom... soon followed by reflux and morning sickness! I know you are not sure about a bfp but I'm crossing everything this is your month!
