Hi everyone! I'm new to gender dreaming, but I've been on in-gender and WWAPP on babycenter since 2010. So hopefully when DH and I start ttc in a few months, I'll have a good sway plan ready. Anyway, can't wait to join you guys in the swaying journey! Pink thoughts to all of you!
Sounds pretty exactly what happened to me. I had at least two days where I had positive tests but they faded out, along with my symptoms.Quote:

That doesn't confirm enough for me that it was or wasn't chemical... it tells me nothing at all! Grrr. Oh well, what is done, is done.
I'm sorry surgena.
I'm having a bad day too. So we went for another ultrasound. The RE dates the pregnancy at 5 weeks 5 days based on LMP, but I feel strongly it's more like 5 wks 2 days bec I had a 30 day cycle that month and I know I ovulated later at D17. Anyway, the gestational sac grew 1mm a day so that is right on track. But still couldn't see a yolk sac or fetal pole. He said "it's probably still too early". Thankfully we go on vacation for a week, so next ultrasound isn't scheduled for 11 days (beginning of 7 weeks). All these early ultrasounds are just upsetting me....meanwhile he told me we wouldn't learn anything more from the blood tests (which he did and I should get results later today)...so I'm completely feeling defeated and fear this is not a viable pregnancy. I'm so sad.
ILindGurl, your bean is just fine. Dont worry. I am praying for you and your little pink bean!!!
It's still so early! *hugs*
Ilindgirl - it sounds like everything is just fine! No worries. The vaca will be just what the doctor ordered. You'll come back and see a beautiful baby on the screen!
Suregena- you call doc and order the lower level hcG on the blood that wa already taken. They hold on to it for a bit.
Hi ladies!!
Ilindgirl, if you're achieving the 1mm growth per day that they expect to see, that has to be a good sign!
Suregena, thank goodness for AF and being able to get into a new cycle!
PFP, I can't recall -- where are you in your cycle now?
I've been so daggone queasy that I've spent pretty much zero time in front of the computer except for what I have to do with work -- which meant I haven't even logged onto this site in several days. But you've all been in my thoughts!
Yark (<-- that's my nausea noise :)). Still no throwing up, but pretty much carsicky round the clock. I'm eight weeks today and have my first OB appointment tomorrow. My doc likes to do a first trimester ultrasound, so we're gearing up/praying to see a good heartbeat.
They only tested my urine! :( I couldn't get a blood test out of 'em.Quote:

I remember walking to work, too, after surviving the train journey, heading up the road, which goes uphill, and I ran around a corner behind a building and called into work because I was going to hurl. Well, I didn't of course (only threw up twice with my son) but I felt like one more step was going to make me!
Funny how we all hurry to get pregnant again... heheeh. :)
Is it wrong that I want to start taking Cetirizine *NOW*?! Is it bad/good/doesn't matter how long I take it for my sway?
I was going to just take it leading up to expected ovulation... but since the flood in the town, and now with hot/muggy weather... my allergies have been BRUTAL! My eyes are itching, I'm sneezing like crazy, my FACE itches! ARGH! I'm taking one tonight! AGGGH! *sneezes*
I started on CD6 - knowing I would O CD11-13, but I don't think it would hurt to take now...especially if it will make you feel better!
I'm on CD5... so... close enough! :P
LOL!!!!!!!It really helps too! I am in the 2WW now and I am sneezing my head off!Quote:

ILindGurl- (((hugs))) It's still too early to see anything, plus your bean is growing at the right rate, everything's going to be fine. Try to enjoy your vacation as best you can :HH:
Suregena- geez, sorry about the stupid Dr. office test, how disappointing! At least you're on to the next cycle and taking soy. Have you had any side effects? I always took it at bedtime so I didn't feel anything from it.
KraisyDaisy- how are you doing? I started taking some supplements to improve egg health even though they sway blue. Have you ever tried any supps for you or DH? Praying for a BFP for you!
dramabird- ugh- so sorry to hear about the all day m/s. I had it too with all 3 PG, and nothing worked for me. The queasy feeling of the nausea is worse than throwing up because at least if you vomit you can feel better for a few minutes. I hope this passes quickly for you!
LimeRikki- Welcome! I love the names of your kids :) You will like it here at GD, the ladies here are wonderful and Atomic spends waaay more time than she should helping each and every one of us.
I'm 10 dpo today and not testing until tommorow... a new record for me! I feel so much happier not testing early, I can still hold on to the idea that I have every chance of a BFP!
That's the other weird thing I'm trying to balance. My husband hasn't yet started to FR... we were thinking him start tonight, however if my ovulation date isn't brought forward a little from the soy (and the lack of vitex), then he'll be having to keep on for a while. He can do it... but, yeesh! I think we'll still start frequent BD this time, too, after he's had at least 8-10 releases. I've got 1 rephresh tube I'll use in the middle of all the BDs...
Also, *this* time... I've bought a 20(!) pack of digital clearblue ovulation kits. I am DETERMINED to catch that LH surge this time so I really know what's happening! The cheapies don't work for me (or I don't buy enough and run out far too soon, which is the most likely scenario so maybe I should get some more of those just in case)... I really, really want to catch that LH surge. The worrying if I have/if I haven't business was and is so stressful. I want a clear, non-confusing cycle this time.
So far, nothing... unless sleeping like a ROCK the past two nights I've taken it so far counts. I have no idea if that's a coincidence or not. It's been pretty nice, actually... normally I wake many times. Because I've been sleeping a bit more solidly, I've not felt sleepy in the morning. It's really unusual for me. I practically leap out of the bed, ready to get up for work?! What the?! No headaches (so far... CD3, first dose was 100mg, then yesterday was 150mg, and tonight I'm probably doing 150mg again, then the last two nights 200mg... still undecided but think it makes the most sense. I guess!) Don't feel sick. Feel really normal, except for the amazing restful sleep...Quote:

Yes, those cheapie OPKs are a nightmare for me also! I'm so glad you got the smiley face type Suregena. And yay for sleeping better with the soy!
NCBeachyGrl- when will you test? I'll see you over in the June 2ww!
Yeah. Last cycle I had a mix of three types... better quality OPKs (not digital), some digital ones, and the cheapie ones. I ended up using them ALL WAY WAY before I ended up actually ovulating! :(Quote:

I mean, I'll have plenty of digitals... but if I get OPK test happy from CD10... they could be gone because I O! But maybe if I do a mixture of both. I'm trying to think of ways to make sure I have plenty and have digitals left for when I actually have an LH surge.
I just soooo hope my cycle is a little shorter this time.
We leave for Berlin August 1st. I BETTER ovulate before that date... because I am EATING in Berlin... no if's, and's, or but's.
Nevermind - decided it'd be a good idea. Got 25 of those egens brand cheapie OPKs someone on here told me about... that way I can take THOSE at work in the afternoon and not use the digitals at work (because that'd get a little awkward to carry to and from work...)
That is what I did! I had a bunch of cheapies and when it looked positive, I took a digital just to confirm. I still have 4 left too! Makes me feel better when it comes up 100% negative that I didn't waste an expensive test!Quote:

A lot of very horrifying things to see in person and there is a heaviness when you're there, but on the other side... it's just such a good vibe. The people, the food... it's electric! Love it.
Third night of sleeping like a complete log with soy.
CD14 and should be Oing today or tomorrow. Starting my attempts today for the next week or so. It's so much work, but hopefully it might work this time and if not, my next cycle we will be in our new house and maybe then it will happen.
I am pretty confident I o'd yesterday but for some reason I feel like it would be a miracle to actually get pg with all the stuff I did!
Hi girls,
I got a BFN today at 11dpo and now AF is here early! On to July.
Great attitude! Hope you catch that egg !Quote:

sorry myfirl :(
and :fx: krazy..
sounds like the soy is working well for you suregena! Im such a light sleeper - what id give for a sound nights sleep!
Im still on the fence about the soy....my only reservation is wether its more boy friendly then girl friendly, and also wether its increases the changes greatly of having a multiple pregnancy...oh decisions decisions

I know it's a risk but... we'll see. I'm not keen on twins, either. I always felt I am just so short... it'd ruin my body and I fear my ability to be allowed to have a normal birth (very important to me!) But whatever will be, will be... we'll see. I'd be surprised if twins happened... I've been reading a lot of people's experiences with soy and have only read the very, very odd result of twins.
I've been feeling some very minor twinges in my ovaries/back area... maybe they're groooowing! Hahah! I'm still on AF though... a very weird period...
I worry about the boy factor, too, but I'm just going to be taking the antihistamine and hope for the best. Thankfully, we're both already vegetarian so I'm hoping that is already in our favor. My husband has been for twenty years and I have been for 13.
Just wanted to say hi to all. I'm on cd9 so we'll be starting our attempts on Monday. I am excited and scared.
Hopefully we all get our bfp's in July!
It's time Pray!! Glad your excited about your attempts coming up. I am praying. I too do not want to have to revisit this in a few months! Please please please let this be it...
Trying to get another attempt in. Dh still at work. Need to do an afternoon quickie! we are going out late afternoon till midnight and my egg will probably be gone by then.
Definitely feeling pains in ovaries... soy definitely doing something!
I feel so guilty today. Have eaten badly. :/
Me too!!!! I snacked one more time than usual and then for dinner I had all these cheese stuffed mushrooms and a huge piece of pie! I at least ate a baked potato and salad for dinner but all the other stuff was so bad!Quote:
