Healthygirl-good luck catching that egg!
Maiden-hope all this testing means you are catching the egg this cycle,...kinda like when you go to the restroom at a restaurant and your food comes
Well, I'm 11DPO and getting stark white BFN's. Just upset that I know I ovulated two eggs and were told our timing was perfect for pregnancy...we won't be attempting again until the end of May. As much as I like all of you, I hope none of you are in the 2ww club then..hope you are all in the due date buddy club together!!! FX for everyone!

Just catching up as I'm still recovering...
Ahhh! XX!!! :-D
What did you do differently this cycle? Do you think it was the acupuncture?
And congrats, sc!!!
Maiden, Happy Belated Birthday! That dinner sounds yummy.
Smarston, *hugs*.
And Xx, thanks for the reassurance about having a cold with your ds2! I'm so happy for you. We've been on this journey together since last year. You give me hope! <3
It sounds silly, but I just "let go, let be" this cycle. I was convinced I would never get pregnant, and I was truly ok with that. As a matter of fact, I told DH that I wanted to stop TTCing all together by the end of the coming May.Quote:

I'm back with some bad news:sad:
My pregnancy tests never got darker and my AF arrived today(had terrible hot flashes last couple of nights).
I guess it was chemical. So disappointing.
Would you girls suggest to try next month? I heard the very next month sways pink?
Oh sc1411, I'm SO sorry [emoji20]!
I would try next month. I would keep doing the HE diet, moderate exercise (if you are already doing it) and BD every 2-4 days once AF ends, then switch to every day once you get to your fertile window and through O.
FX and [emoji120] for you! Please take my blue dust [emoji8][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]

Thank you for your support XX!
Please have my pink dust in exchange for your blue one:)
I will recover today and start resuming everything tomorrow.
Oh I'm so sorry sc1411. I don't think CPs sway pink very strongly and certainly diet & lifestyle sway MUCH more. Just keep swaying blue and I think you have sn excellent shot at conceiving a boy this cycle. Fx for you.
Thank you maiden!
sc-I'm so sorry! Fx for next cycle

I got to thinking sc1411, and I forgot to mention this earlier.
I had a chemical the cycle before I conceived DS2. HE diet, moderate exercise, and frequent BDing in fertile window trumps ANYTHING!!

Thanks XX!
I'm calming down already, I know things happen.
It upsets me that I put up such a good sway that smth had to go wrong. And of course I eased a out a little bit from the diet and didn't exercise last week:hair:
No I'm not upset, I'm pissed off!!!
I hope it doesn't matter, i will catch up right away.
XX, thank you for sharing:)
I'm sorry sc1411!
I'm so thankful for my husband you guys! I wanted to BD again last night because I am so scared of missing this egg. He was too tired though, and this morning I woke up to find I Od. I now have one attempt in the fertile window at -2 and -4, but I don't really count that one as it was very early in the morning so almost -5. This is so much better then if I had BD last night which would have given me the same timing as with both my boys. My sway is still a very light sway but at least I have basically only 1 attempt in the fertile window. Now I just have to hope that this cycle ends in a BFP! How many days past O are everyone else?
Good luck Junie! Hope you catch the egg. I have a really good feeling about you this month.
According to FF I'm 9 dpo now.. But my temps went beserk at 4&5 dpo so I'm not sure if I'm out or still in with a chance. Fx for all of us waiting!!!

Sounds promising Junie, good luck!
I'm 15 dpo, but too afraid to test. AF is expected tomorrow, though I haven't had any of my usual pre-af spotting. I don't have any other symptoms, other than extreme fatigue and thirst. I'll wait another day and see what happens.
Junie- that is awesome!
Sunbuny- I'm Xing everything that this is it for you!
Grace- pleeeeese test! Then I can start the December due date thread! I haven't yet, because I don't want to talk to myself [emoji6]!
I'm Xing everything and [emoji120] for everyone waiting! [emoji8][emoji92][emoji170][emoji175][emoji94]

Think I am 5 dpo.
Junie, so happy your temp rose!
Grace, fx for you!
I am afraid O will be very delayed this cycle bc none of my fertility signs indicate I am remotely close to O. I guess it's better than my weeks of endless gobs of EWCM last cycle, but wow what a difference. If I don't O by CD20 I will TTA this cycle bc I do NOTwant a late Dec DD. Ugh body do something!
I'm 13 DPO and as of yesterday, still BFN. Last night I started with horrid back pain that I've never had before. Thinking that the clomid is going to make AF a bigger bitch then usual..FX for everyone!!
Maiden-DS2 is an xmas baby. It's awful, which is why we weren't attempting next cycle. However, I think mentally for my sway tactics, we need to attempt. I just can't wrap my head around waiting 2 cycles. Hope your body gets it sh!t together!

Hey all! Hoping everyone is doing well. I try to keep up but usually can't!!
Maiden I wanted to wish you a Happy Belated Birthday. I hope you can get some answers from your bloodwork and I think it is great that DF is getting a SA done, right? Not sure if you still want him though...LOL
sc1411 I am really sorry about the chemical...all losses are so hard.
Hoping to see some more BFP's!!!
ASF...I am 10 dpo and BFN. So bummed. I know it is early but with DS 2 I got a positive on 9 dpo so I don't give myslef much slack. I decided to give acupuncture a try next cycle. If anything , I do need some relaxation time.
Good Luck to everyone waiting to test and hoping you all caught a good egg!!
I'm sorry about the BFN djmommy- just remember every pregnancy is different and it doesn't necessarily mean anything!
Thanks Junie!!
Nice temp rise! Hoping that you caught the eggie!!
Smarston3- I hope AF doesn't come!!
Thanks junie, I know I shouldn't be complaining when others have been trying for a lot longer. I'm blaming the clomid for giving me false hope and for this terrible PMS that I've never had in my life!! Typically, I get a small, steady headache for two days before and that's it..these mood swings, cramps, and back pain are terrible.
The fact that DH suggested we attempt this cycle knowing we can get another xmas baby makes me feel better. I feel like my sway tactics have a purpose if that makes sense.
Thanks for reading and FX for you!

Hi :)
I'm finally in the TWW after missing ovulation last month then having a weird AF that lasted 20 days with just spotting/light flow. It finally stopped Friday and by Sunday I got an OPK+ and think O was today (waiting for temps to confirm). Not holding much hope being the first try but I guess you never know. I'm a little concerned my hormones are a bit messed up though.
Sorry about the spotting Grace :(
*hugs*, sc1411! I had 2 af after my early loss then conceived dd, but I was sick with Lyme and that definately swayed pink. You might not o the first cycle after. I would use the time to really get yourself in top shape for a good sway, like keep up with the diet and supplements. Are you taking wheatgrass? Hey, at least you know you can get pregnant! After so many months, dare I say it, I wouldn't even mind a chemical too much because it would show me some of my parts are working.
Xx, you are so sweet! Yeah, the cycle where you don't care is the one, lol. I'm almost to that point. I'm much more laid back about it all than I used to be. I'm curious if you took the wheatgrass to help your fsh levels?
lol, my obsession with wheatgrass this morning is because I ran out and wonder if it's worth it to keep taking it.
Sounds good, Junie! I'm still waiting to o. I expect it to happen next weekend.
FX for Sunbuny, eleena, smarston, dj, purple, and the others in the 2ww!
*hugs* for you Grace! Please enjoy a cheat day.
Hugs Grace!
Sunbuny- I think crazy cycles sway in a weird way. I had my shortest, 21 days, right before my BFP. I'm Xing everything and [emoji120]for you!
Sage- I thought about taking wheatgrass, but I didn't. I didn't know if I would be allergic to it or not. When I had my allergy testing back in 2004, I am allergic to all of the species of grass they tested! I'm [emoji120]for you Sage! [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]

Grace I'm so sorry to read this :(
purple- I feel like messed up hormones sway pink so at least that is in your favor LOL. I hope you get lucky this cycle.
Sage- Sorry I can't help you on the wheatgrass but I hope this is your cycle.
My temps are still quite high so I hope I O'd on Saturday. I don't think my cold would affect my temps that much but you never know. I haven't BD in days though due to feeling ill so I really hope I did O or my timing will be terrible!!
Thanks Sage. I'm trying not to think about it.
Yes, I'm taking wheat grass supplements.
Grace.. Do you think spotting necessarily means your out? I had spotting with my last pregnancy (DS2) when my period was due. I'm hoping you're still in.
XX - my cycle was 21 days last cycle too. It's never been that short. This one is longer.
I stuffed my sway last night. I couldn't sleep and at 1 am I had a middle of the night snack.. Peanut butter toast and thick hot chocolate. It did the trick.. I fell asleep an hour later. I really hope we conceive soon... I'm getting so over this. Unfortunately I'm not good at waiting and letting things be ( probably why I have 2 boys ).
Have a wonderful day all xxx

AF is here..... I'll have to revise my tactics and see how to improve my chances
Sorry you're out Grace. Fingers crossed for next month!
Sorry Grace [emoji17] what was your timing?

Thanks girls!
The last two cycles we DTD on cd10 and I ovulated on cd12. I must say I had no apparent EWCM, so maybe we should have dtd closer to o? Maybe once every 4 days isn't enough in my case?
