TTC5, I bet the baby is fine. :) Your little bean has beat the odds so far, and I am sure it will stay strong!!
TTC5 - Don't even worry if you have an emotional day hun, the pregnancy horemones do it to all of us and have done since the beginning of time, your bubba is safe as houses!
LBAM - sorry you have had a rough time ttc, hope you pop in still to update us on whats going on with you.
As for me, AF is gone WOOHOO, she came early after an anovulotory cycle, and decided to leave early too. She usually hangs around for 7 days but only stayed for 4, now DP and i are back to our every second day schedule, he is so happy about that hahaha.
Cinss, are you doing BSF or anything with your attempts? Or Preseed? Just wondering, not sure if it would matter.
LBAM huge hugs your feeling so crappy right now xxx
Bec - when are you testing?
Cinss, I think the last month all the cramping was possibly due to the supps - EPO and flaxseed oil. My cycle also lengthened by a couple of days. This cycle I have given them a miss, so maybe thats why there are no "symptoms" lolQuote:

I think it's safer too since you can't accidentally get the bs on your cervix! THe one time I tried bsf I did and it burned like crazy!
Bec & Soni- Hoping this month is it for you gals! When do you think you will test?
LBAM- definitely check in with us on how you're doing. I think I might take a break if I don't get preggo this month as I've put on too much weight on this high everything diet!! But then if I lose weight, I'll have to wait longer to put a little back on for a boy sway--oh too much to think about! But will be thinking of you!
TTC- I'm sure your little bean is coming along just fine! They are very resilient to stress, and God knows pregnant women are always on an emotional roller coaster ;) No need to worry IMO!
Cinss, that's great that you can start BDing earlier. FX for you this month :)
So, if you guys remember, I had a trigger again this cycle. I had it 12 days ago now. I tested 3 days ago and it was a bfn so obviously it's out of my system, well I assume so anyway. Tested again yesterday and there was a faint, faint line on a 25 sensitivity test. It was so faint that DH thought I was a little crazy, but he could see it. Tested again this morning with FMU on a FRER and got a faint line and tested with a 25 sensitivity test again and there was a clearly visible line, way darker than yesterday. I just pray it is for real and not the trigger lingering. It's a good sign it's getting darker I guess. Arghh, I hope this is it! I am only 9/10dpo today so it's really early as well.
CONGRATS BEC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cinss & Yahmama, thanks for the kind words on the + opks. Is that what a darker one means? That was the first month that I have ever noticed that. Usually they stay the same darkness once they are positive.
Anyway, if I O'ed on CD13, that makes me feel INFINTELY better about my sway. That means I O'ed in a male moon sign, and I had attempts on O-4, O-2 and O. :) Since there is no way to prove any of it, I will just hope that's really what happened. :)

I think you should just do what you are comfortable with. I only asked because I wasn't sure what the protocol was with DTD every other day after AF to O?
Oh i see what you mean, i guess we will be DTD using preseed while my cm is not fertile, then when i think O is around 5 days away i will start drinking ural, then when i get ewcm i will think about doing bsf for the 1 or 2 times it is like that.Quote:

Thanks Hobber and Cinss, I really hope this is a sticky one!
Congrats Bec!! FX for sticky bean
Gender ultrasound in 3 days I feel sick already :(
Massive congrats Bec...I so hope I can join you soon!!
MFC - I hope you see little boy parts!! Fingers crossed for you.
Still here waiting till it's time to test. Keep getting all these symptoms that you only notice when TTC but probably exist all the time. Trying hard to convince myself that testing on 5DPO is a waste of time lol
Bec CONGRATS GIRL!!!!!
MFC you will hear boy ;)
Yah, Bec!!!!!!! Congrats! :running:
FF finally gave me crosshairs... My Ovulation Chart
But it put O at cd 16 even though my opk was much darker than control on cd17 and I had the really strong O pains early Sat am on that day too. I know it's only a different of 6-10 hrs, but I wish it would line it up better!
Bec-congrats:celebrate::bluecheer: I hope this is it!
OMG 3 days!?:running: Im so stalking you!Quote:

MFC, so excited for you! No stressing and being sick yet, could be another son for you!
Welcome to my world! Ugh, I sometimes don't think FF knows everything. It is just a computer program... you know your own body better!Quote:

Haha..that's funny b/c I actually have a yamaha piano :) It's my initials+mama :) We dtd on cd14,16 & 17 so hoping we caught the egg! I first thought I o'd on cd14 since i had the spike in temp on cd15, but it went back down again, so we dtd again, then I had a darker opk on cd17 and tons of O pain, so we dtd again (30 hrs. after dtd on cd16) so I hope it didn't affect sperm count doing it 2 days in a row. THat's the only thing i'm worried about...Quote:

I know it was early am on cd17, so it's close enough to what it says, but we dtd am on cd 16, which would be about 24 hrs. before O then we dtd at noon on cd 17, which would be about 6 hours after O...so I would have liked it closer, but oh, well. Worrying won't change anything now...Quote:

I was just thinking anyone know where is "lightofmylife" ? I didn't see her post for a long time. She was going to ttc this year?
Ok girls I am CD 1 today, I usually O on CD 13 (usually) hopefully this will be my lucky month. Any pointers?
Oh and also how do I add my ovulation chart to the bottom of my posts?
You put the link from FF into your signature. Go to the sharing button at the top of FF to get the code to copy. GL this month! How long have you been charting? I think that's the most important thing--to be aware of your CP, CM & temps to be able to determine when O has happened! Are you doing any sups, diet or other sway factors?Quote:

Vit E
My diet consists of at least 25grams of protein per meal with the same amount of carbs with a fruit or veggie 3 meals a day and then my snacks are usually almonds, rice cakes with peanut butter, fruit and veggies,dried apricots, and whey protein shakes, so I eat a total of around 6 times a day usually every 2hrs. As a treat before bed I usually have some dark choclolate.
I do weight training faithfully 2x's a week but somtimes I make it there 3
The only thing I drink is water or green tea, and sometimes I put lemon in my water but not everytime.
I haven't tested my PH because it was driving me crazy, but naturally my PH is pretty low I think like 6.5. So I was thinking of using Pre-Seed or doing the BSF, and going to make my hubs have a red bull or something right before BD.
As far as timing goes Im thinking O-2 and O? Does this sound ok?
