Cass.... not long till you test?
I tested again this morning with my last frer and there's definitely a line. Plus the tiredness along with some nausea and to top it off I have diarrhea.... yay for me :-)
I'm going to sit on the couch with dh tonight and try and relax and have a chat about things :-) ......
Will be stalking Cass!
Morning all.. Didn't get chance to come on here yesterday. I'm 8dpo and have just tested. Just out of curiosity. Nothing but am still holding on in there and will test Monday on 10dpo! I'm being realistic but the thought of continuing with diet full on and the thought of ovulating between Xmas n new year when family are over puts a little extra added pressure.
Sorry I'm on my phone and have forgot who said about giggling 2dpo symptoms. This made me giggle because I've bn doung exactly the same.. But stupidly in work. couldn't help myself. Just hoping our IT team never look at my googling history. AnywAy gd luck and I will let you know my 10dpo result. Il try post my sway over weekend
Cass did you test this morning?
Hang in there Blueplease!
I did test this morning and... it was positive! So happy :D

:running:
YAY for your BFP!
Happy & Healthy 9 Months! :pregnant:
Thanks ladies! It hasn't really sunk in yet because we have been running after the girls all day! It will be nice to get excited with the hubby tonight when the house is quiet!
Blueplease - yes, I am 14 dpo. I try not to test too early and we have been so busy that it hasn't been on my mind too much!
Now, fingers crossed for minimatron :)
Congratulations Cass!!
WOWOW Congrats Cass! How are you feeling luv? Ovulating after your illness? It sucks to have a sway go not the way you were thinking! Speaking of ...
So something weird happened. We got our smiley last Sunday and dtd around then 3 times. Well I've been having increased CM and yesterday was cramping like O cramping. Too early for implantation, I thought maybe it was a bladder infection or something (only have had one before so wasn't sure) well on a whim, I did another OPK and it gave me another smiley! (I'd had no smileys after the initial one last Sunday). My husband was at a christmas party (drinking. great.) and I texted him to get home b/c I was ovulating. I'm happy I caught it but bummed that I wasnt ready for it and dh was drinking. I had been keeping up with the diet and supps but hadn't had gelatin or grapefruit juice (which I found really helped with my cm) since tuesday. :( Also, wth?! Faulty positive? two ovulations? what is going on?! Yesterday was CD17 which is when I ovulated last month. So it may be back to dpo1 for me (thought it would be dpo6 today). WEIRD!
Hi Becca,
I had a weird month too! I finally had our attempt on Monday when I had the CBEFM PEAK and then on Wed I had AF like bleeding. So PEAK on CD16 and then red flow on CD18 all the way until last night. So I don't know what that was about. Atomic thinks it might be from the Fertile CM messing with my cycle. I took it the last 3 months and ovulated on CD21, so I stopped this month so see if it was delaying my ovulation, which it was, and now my cycle is a bit messed up.
Anyways, what I am trying to say is that sometimes the sups we are taking can mess with our cycle a bit and that maybe what happened with you as well.
Maybe you ovulated twice this month?
You might end up with twins :-)
becca, that is weird, not sure whats going on there, i have learnt that the 1st +opk is the only one that counts, i think the only way to know for sure if you Od after the 1st or 2nd OPK is to monitor your temps, anyway dont worry about DH drinking, mine drinks every day after work, so we definatly had that in our sway and it worked out anyway.
I haven't changed my supps so I don't think that it. I'm nursing so it could be that. I had like 3 dreams I was pregnant with twins a couple months before we starting trying, so that freaks me out! :worry: who knows! I was reading some articles about double ovulation and apparently up to 30% of women can ovulate 2x a month. If you all take the clearblue easy opks, do you notice if the stick has one or two lines when you pull it out? I don't think you're supposed to pay attention to them but the first one only had one line, the second smiley 6 days later, had two dark lines.
Glad the drinking isn't too big of a deal cinss! It was hard enough getting him to take the supps!
That's too weird Becca!!
Could be that you've stimulated those ovaries with all your good eating and sups and popped out two eggs...?
Your sig doesn't say if you have any other children - how would you feel about twins?
I would have a heart attack as I already have 3 and that was meant to be my last. I always wanted 3 so 4 is moving out of my comfort zone....:nails:
I bounced back really quickly from the gastro. Only had the trots for half a day and was able to eat well the next day. Added a beef broth I'd made to everything for two days and quickly replaced lost potassium and sodium by doing BSD and COT drinks a few times a day and lots of bananas and coconut water.
Felt great yesterday and had friends over. Made lots of yummy healthy food and pigged out. Had a BD with hubby as a just in case but ruled out O as it should have been here Thurs/Friday. Was out doing Santa photos with the girls today and "ping" felt the familiar twang in my ovaries (strangely both sides rather than one side ----ARGHHHH).
Anyway, I had a disgusting smoothie of v8, raw silver beet, savoury yeast flakes and gelatine and about 2 hours later we did another BD so I guess I am possibly in for this month...maybe...:wink:
I considered sitting this one out but my prep has been excellent for the last 2 months and I figure even the most perfect sways fail so was happy to go for it.
Good luck luvalittleman, hopefully the 2ww goes quick for you :)
Blue please....how are you going? Are you testing soon?
How's everyone else going? Today I'm officially due for af. We she definitely ain't coming:-) I can't believe that I tested so early. I'm a little nervous as I've had one end in a m/c, although I had no symptoms by 6-7 weeks. I now have crazy diarrhea, everything tastes revolting and all I want to do is sleep. Actually come after lunch I can barely keep awake..its pretty hard with little kids lol. I'm coming to terms with the idea of having 4. I think I freaked out a little last week after the girls fighting and pushing boundaries and my buttons :-) well.... I picked out a name for a girl already.... actually I have had this name for ages! Funnily enough, I have no boys names despite swaying for one:-)
Ah... the start of a new week.... last full week of kinder for my big girl, last full week of occasional care for my other two....then I'll have 6 weeks with them home for summer holidays.
I'll be lurking...... good luck blue, fingers crossed x
Sorry for confusing you minimatron (baby brain already or still from my girls?!).
We have two potential boys names chosen from our last pregnancy which I don't think will change. We always struggle with girls names, so here's hoping that we don't have to use one again!
My fingers are crossed for blueplease!
For those ladies who are pregnant, did you ease off your supplements after getting your BFP? Some of my jars of vitamins are running low now.... thanks!
Such a busy weekend haven't had chance to come on here. Well I tested this morning 10dpo and a bfn :-) gonna wait now till 14dpo. I really feel as if AF is on the way with the stomach cramps, backache. I never usually get sore boobs with my AF but have now. Not sure what to think. It's funny if it wasnt Xmas id be fine first month trying lets just keep going but with Xmas here it just makes you want it more. I have a feeling now this isn't by month but hey upwards and onwards. Hope everyone is feeling well!!
Blueplease ive still got my fingers crossed for you, it is really not that common to see bfp before 14dpo, i envy the ladies that get them so early. Also if you are out this month try to see it as a positive because you will be on the diet for another whole month (i know that may sound daunting and blah) but it is really GOOD for your sway :)
Thxs cinss.. Yes another month/ few months will be good for my sway although the thought of it is horrible. Continuing to eat as I have bn. It said on google also that most pregnancy would have a false negative at 10dpo so we will see. AF def feels as if its on the way but aympotms sooner than normal. Time will tell. I will test again on thurs/ fri!!
For brekky i was having a smoothie with Oats, fruit, yogurt, protein powder and water in it.
Then my morning snack was almonds + green apple.
For lunch i would have 2 eggs (all different ways) scrambled on crackers or an omlette or boiled with salad. (if i didnt feel like eggs i would have chicken or tuna instead)
Afternoon snack was yogurt with protein powder mixed in (yummy)
Dinner was lean red meat with veggies.
After dinner was green tea and occasionally dark chocolate.
The protein powder i was using is called - BNRG Proto Whey double chocolate PROTO WHEY , BNRG (BIONUTRITIONAL RESEARCH GROUP), PROTEIN POWDERS, BNRG (BIONUTRITIONAL RESEARCH GROUP), BNRG (BIONUTRITIONAL RESEARCH GROUP) PROTO WHEY
So did anyone else have exact AF symptoms at 10 dpo and get a Bfp. Terrible cramping on side exactly like I do every month. Also in lower abdomen- bikini line.
Boobs really sore which very very rarely get and little a little "queasy". Also tired but there both probably down to the heat over last few days.
Feels exactly like AF psins- exactly :-( did anyone else get this.
Will text 14dpo but just curious? Thsnks
Blue please and mini matron hope you get your little surprises sooner than you want and if not like cinns said more time on your sway I know it's eurrgh but it can really make all the difference.! Gosh it reminds me I got another 4-5months to go!!
Cinns I love your diet for your sway its something you can est regardless .. 'Im slowly trying to lose the bready carbs now (always been a bread girl) even though I'm mostly sticking to whole wheat I just have no meal suggestions without bread lol anybody got any ideas?? My breakfast is also like yours cinns I have cereal of oats mostly and then a smoothie with fruits banana, full fat yoghurt, raw eggs and mid morning snack is 1/4cup almonds with 3-4 dates..but slacking on my meat intake!
So me and DH had a discussion and he's fine with us TTC round about the time when DD turns 2. It's not entirely just swaying for a boy but just to be pregnant again and fr her to have a lil friend .. Boy would be the icing.
It sux how AF symptoms are just like preggy symptoms. Some months i was sure i would get a bfp but nope back to cd1. And the month i actually did get my bfp i didnt see it coming, no symptoms at all, or maybe i just stopped looking for them after 9 bfns i was over it haha.
afy you still need carbs so things like sweet potato and brown rice can be used in place of bread? But bread is fine on the HE diet too, multigrain would be the best choice.
Hi girls. Good luck blue please. It's the worst waiting for the days to pass obsessing over symptoms.
I'm currently at 8dpo or 3 dpo due to my confusing two +opk this month. I took a test this am after I fed the lo at 5am. Bfn. I know it's too early! My milk supply is so low (she's a year in a week so I'm considering weaning), nauseated, crampy, sensitive nipples, so hunngry and tired! Oh vivid dreams plus dreamt I saw a positive test!
With my weird month, I'm expecting not to be pregnant.
Oh luv, I thought about twins if I really did o twice! I have 2 little girls, 2 1/2 and 1. Twins boys would be awesome (and scary)! Keep us updated on your o!
good luck becca!
Crap. So, I've been swaying for a little over two months. Even doing diet coke rehab! I used to drink a minimum of 5 a day, and I have had 4 total in10 weeks. I've been eating basically only meat, veggies, fruits and nuts. I am taking a small country's worth of vitamins and drinking lemon water like my life depends on it. I've been religiously temping and taking opks 500 times a day. Had my preseed ready to start inserting tomorrow to get in all the cervical nooks and crannies. Noticed some ewcm last night- I was stoked since it was MIA last month. Had a smudge this morning when I temped and took my opks (yes plural, I'm doing digital and dip sticks because I have LOST my mind.) Tests were negative.
Went back to bed a for a bit, DH woke me up for um, we'll just say he is a morning person. :hug2:
Every single time we've had sex since the mc he asks if it's ok to release inside me. He is fully aware what the plan is and that I am pretty much an amateur ob/gyn at this point of crazy lady Internet research. Seriously- he asks every time and it is 99% no, I give him the green light either late in the cycle or super early. Wednesday is supposed to be O according to FF.
This morning he just went for it. My :mad:response was met with: "but it's my birthday!"
:holysheep:
Am I literally and metaphorically screwed? I'm so mad I didn't even get to use the preseed at least! And to be extra sure I ruined all my hard work I scurried away to jump&dump. I am an idiot. Is there any hope? Should I just go ahead with my originally scheduled programming??? Or wave my sad flag of defeat???
YOU ARE FINE (hysterical post BTW). Not sure what CD you're on...but you are fine to let him "enjoy his b-day" every 2 - 4 days for swaying blue. Then, when you get your +OPK, DTD 3 times in 24 hours.
Pom you do make me laugh (and I love your ability to laugh at yourself while you are stressing yourself out).
Take a deep breath...you've just raised the alkalinity in there which is good and there's no egg in there yet so you can't get pregnant at this stage.
In my humble opinion, if you are due to O tomorrow or the next day then the timing is good. I usually see EWCM 2-3 days before I get my +OPK so keep testing morning and night and then get a couple of attempts in when you see it.
