You can keep doing what you were previously doing if you feel up to it. I found I didn't have the energy to keep up my cycling to work this time. I managed with my previous 2 (m/c) pregnancies although work moved slightly so it is a little further now. I'm just trying to stay active walking now but there was no reason I couldn't have kept up my previous activities (other than tiredness).Quote:

I am not going to handle AF or a BFN as well this month. I expected TTC to take some time because my body is stupid (PCOS) but not this long and I am tired now.
I have been snapping at husband like crazy today which is usually AF announcing her arrival so I am not very hopeful.
GirlieCat I will keep my fingers crossed that AF stays away for you and that you can update us with good news in the next few days.
Good luck Girliecat! :luck:
We had our attempt tonight, so I guess the waiting begins now. I feel surprisingly calm about everything.
I think my sway was pretty strong, so if I do get pregnant this month and it's a boy, I will be ready to accept him as a warrior who has earned his place in our tribe. :D Part of me thinks that I'm far too tough to ever make a girl, but I guess we will see!
Need advice.
I'm day 13 or 14 dpo (used clear blue)
And yesterday I found blood when I wiped, so assumed AF was here.
Put In a pad before bed,because I am so heavy the first few days/nights.
Woke up to one brown spot -smaller than a pea size, and a tiny bit on wiping.
But the Amazon cheapie test is a BFN - it's a super sensitive test though.
I am away from home and don't have access to FR test until tomorrow.
Could this be implantation, or am i getting hopes up
Serenity
Your posts about the warrior made me lol
Mrs. Sparkles, it could be implantation! Anything that's different than your usual AF is a good sign, in my opinion.
I guess you will know very soon! :cheer:
Like Serenity said, it could be implantation MrsSparkles. FX!! :)
Hope it's implantation bleeding Mrs.Sparkles! Fingers crossed for you too GirlieCat!
Hope it's implantation mrssparkles! I'm 9dpo and had some pink/brown cm today. I'm going to test on Wed. I've been having very short LPs so I won't be surprised if this turns into AF tomorrow. But I will be disappointed.

Interesting, sounds a little bit exciting, I will keep everything crossed for you that a bean is implanting xQuote:

Good luck everyone!! :)
I am feeling very hopeful for you Sparkles! Can't wait to see what tomorrow's test shows. FX!!Quote:

That sounds promising MrsSparkles, really hope you get a bfp. Still keeping fingers crossed for you GirlieCat and also inforthree, would be fantastic if you all get a bfp this month. I am at 10 dpo today but have been having cramping since yesterday so AF likely in the next few days. My LP can be anywhere from 11-15 days recently so just have to wait. I am not going to test early either GirlieCat as I don't want to see a bfn.
I'm impressed by everyone who can wait! I guess it might be because I've never had trouble getting pregnant (just staying pregnant), but I've never been too upset by BFNs, but the waiting is hard on me! Pretty boy mom-ish of me though, thinking about it. ;)
In previous months trying before we took a month off so I could do LE diet I had tested at around 9 or 10 dpo and just got depressed at seeing the bfps so I am trying to just be patient this month. I will probably test Friday if AF hasn't shown by then or if I haven't had any spotting as I usually spot from 7-10 dpo through to AF so no spotting yet is a good thing for me. I just wish the 2ww would go quicker. As much as I know I can't change anything and that symptom stopping is pointless I can help but try to analyse every pain and niggle. Wish I knew a way to turn my brain off for a while!
Oh my gosh Kelbear that is exactly how I feel!! I tested early in past cycles too so I thought I would go about it different this time. I am noticing every little thing too but trying not to read into them. Clomid mimics a lot of early preg symptoms when you are not prego so I trying to blame it on the clomid. I can't wait for the week to be over so I just know either way.
Fx to everyone. Sounds like we have a lot of people due for AF (or their BFP) this week.
Lovely ladies I need some advice/feedback. i am trying not to symptom spot or get my hopes up as I am sure af will show her ugly head in a few days (am 10dpo) but for the last few days I have been getting a stitch type pain in my side on and off throughout the day and what feels like round ligament pain (I had this in my first pregnancy but later on). I know it is too early for round ligament pain so I was wondering what could cause this? Is it related to dropping progesterone levels or something else hormone related? I just want to find a reason for these pains so that if they continue each cycle I know whether or not they are something to worry about. If anyone else has experienced this in the 2ww I would love to know.
No I did not take any OPKs in the 2WW. My EWCM has not been fertile egg-white, more like the sticky, dry stuff you get after O. But I am confused, bc I got a lot EWCM this cycle. I hope I did not miss my surge.Quote:

Just tested BFN...brown spotting totally stopped though :/
Anddddd AF just arrived heavier than ever !
That was insane, nothing and then felt this wet sensation, rushed to the bathroom and horror movie scene.
I feel like mother nature is playing a massive trick on me this month :drama:
Kelbear, I don't know of anything else that could cause that sensation.
So sorry MrsSparkles!!! :bighug:
Sorry mrssparkles. :( I can relate I've had the same experience. Sucks.

So sorry Sparkles. I was really hoping it would go the other way for you. Our bodies are such a mystery with the crazy things they do. So sorry it wasn't your month. [emoji53]Quote:

Just purchased more Wondfo test strips, Olive leaf extract for hubby and Folate for me for the months to come.
I don't have much faith that I am able to conceive. But it gives me hope to know I can continue swaying and will have more chances. Sometimes I just want to give up, but then I think fuck no I will continue until my body says stop.

Having some spotting today so it's not looking good for me. :(

FX af stays away, inforthree!
Well I am still in the race!! Today is 15dpo and as of 1:30 this afternoon all is clear downstairs. Normally I would have started AF this morning, but one cycle this year I was a day later and didn't start till morning 16dpo. If no spotting or AF by tomorrow morning (Wednesday) then I would say I am officially late and I am going to test (I know- finally right?). I get excited every time I go to the bathroom and hope is still alive. I keep trying to talk myself down from getting too hopeful and say that maybe I misjudged ovulation day so my count is off or that clomid is messing with my cycle.
It is going to be a long 17 hours till test time, but at 16dpo at least I will be able to trust whatever the test says tomorrow. AF STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! :nails:
Girliecat- I was very lucky and got pregnant first cycle of clomid... It does happen!! Hoping AF stays away and this is it for you and clomid gives you the baby girl you wanted :)
Good luck GirlieCat!
Good luck Girliecat and inforthree! :luck:
I'm having one of the worst weeks of my entire adult life. I recently found out that my DH hasn't been running his business well financially, and now it appears that we owe a ton of money. Not a great time for a pregnancy. I guess this kind of stress should sway pink, but I'm kind of scared to be pregnant right now. :sad:
Wow Serenity. That is terrible. I can't even image how stressful things must be in your house right now. Good thing you already had your attempt because I probably would not want to touch my husband for a long time after discovering something like that. It is hard to just turn off your dream or plan of another baby in a moments notice so since you have already had your attempt this month just wait it out and see what the next 2 weeks bring for both your finances and if you might already be pregnant. I really am sorry you are having to go through this.
So sorry to read this, hope your OK. Dealing with swaying and ttc on top of all that, nightmare! Hope things become easier for you! XQuote:

Also hope you can get through this difficult time Serenity, that is really bad to have to go through at any time but definitely not what you need to hear right now.
So sorry to hear about that stressful situation, serenity. Hope things get easier.
Hope to hear bfp tomorrow girliecat!!!

So sorry, Serenity! I probably would have slapped DH if he did something like that and then eaten a ton of ice cream, taken a bath, and then gone to bed early. I hate stress like that. I hope you figure something out quickly!
