Hi all, some of u may remember me but I was Round a few months back but lost bub. So I am starting diet and supps again planning to try in dec. But hubby had a hot spa last night do u think this matters? We are still about 10 weeks out of dtd and I will get him to ice from now on! What do u think???? Oh and congrats to all with their bfPs since my last visit : )

Hope you get a BFP flava!! I have my fingers crossed for you!

Does anyone know if gizmo is trying right now, or did her attempt already?

Anyway I have SO much EWCM it's not funny...wanted to do a smiley test last night but forget it but I think it would be a +.
Ok now this morning bumm I got a peak window and a smiley!
This damn monitor went to low to peak again with no high day. And the line on the stick what I did not have even yesterday it's darker then the control! WTH? This also never happened to me before.
Cool...now I can't wait 2 days just 1 because we did dtd tonight. (did 1 last night)
Im sure O is tonight or very early morning so we can't wait. Hope this works out anyway.
This is our last try no matter what!

Good luck flava. We both miscarried together a few weeks back and both at five weeks. What day did you m/c? I havent done any opks but we dtd for fun so who knows. must admit it was nice to not have it be a job! lol.

How many days are you since the m/c?
Did you do o-2 and then o?

good luck!

Flava you don't read the Clearblue sticks like an OPK - there is no control line. One line is estrogen. The other is LH. One dark line is low estrogen (not fertile) ... That line FADES as Estrogen Peaks... The LH gets DARK as the LH surge begins... So your one dark line will get lighter and your LH line gets darker. That's a peak, when he LH line appears. Usually you get a high when the estrogen line fades but the LH surge hasn't started yet.

Maybe your LH surge began right as your estrogen peaked...

I hope this makes sense, trying to type it all out on my phone!

Also wanted to note that you do read the smiley monitor sticks like a regular OPK :)

Hey Ladies, I haven't had much time lately with DD2's 3rd Birthday but wanted to pop in and post quick. DH had a business trip AGAIN now, which is right when we should have been ttc. We decided to bd a little early. I know it's girl zone according to Shettles but we have had such problems getting pregnant, I wonder if we are waiting too long and missing the egg. So we went for it. We'll see if anything happens, but we're looking forward to next month! Prayers for all those ttc!

So according to this I suppose to have a boy for sure.:rofl: And if not I have a proof that none of this works. LOL

Of course first I need a bfp...I did the diet and all real good so now I wait...one last time...

That's awesome!!! crossing fingers for you..

I had a m/c 17 dpo. And now Im on CD 17. We did well not sure what we did..I think O was last night but look at my chart my temp did not go up today.So if O was last night then we did O -1 and on O . If it's today then O -2 and O -1.(or -half lol)

We all know no to read the CB sticks like that don't worry lol but when we take it out we all check it anyway.
But interesting because my one dark line don't get lighter I just get another line too.

What avout cervix position? Because mine was so high this month I could barely reach it. Normally I don't have it so high only this month.
I read something atomic said that if it's very high you have a strong O that cycle....well I hope.
O pain vas very bad too BD was not fan at all.I had to push my tummy with my hand because it hurt so much. Even walking hurt yesterday.
Today is all better so I think I O'd already.? not sure...

And really? It's not more well known (outside of us gender crazy ladies) because of jealousy?!? At the same time there's a gal on IG who was pretty good at predicting, Alsestis ... I think she was somewhere around 70% on people's scans. I remember she guessed girl on Babydes's early scan and she did end up with a girl. So maybe there is something to it? Not as good as nub theory IMO but still something to obsess over, and we all need that :)

I tried to find the early scans from my other DDs but they're in storage still. We move in 2 weeks so I'll probably dig them out at some point; maybe I carry all my DD's with a right sided placenta! Who knows?

I would love the u/s to be wrong but I don't know ... I didn't get any shots of the gender bc I didn't want to have DH find them and be like, what?!?! You found out?!?! So since my scan was on the DL I only had her tell me gender, not give me a pic ... she showed me though and I definitely didn't see a penis! I really had my hopes up though .. the Ramzi thing, how much my body changed from swaying, and lots of other OWT had me thinking boy was a real possibility for us this time. Oh well ... I'm getting past it and really doing SO much better lately. I have a scan on 10/24 and will be totally checking out the goods even though we aren't going to "find out" then. I figure there's maaaaaaaybe a 2% chance that girl was wrong at the elective scan, and wouldn't that be the greatest birth surprise ever if she was :)

MFC I'm on here every day but mostly post on other threads; coming back to this one isn't the easiest for me bc it takes me back to when I still had a shot, KWIM? This thread makes it hard for me to move on... but when I see a post pop up it does make me want to wander over and see what y'all are up to! And I stalk looking BFPs :) Hoping Clomid gets things going for you next cycle! And FWIW I have a good friend who had 2 boys on Clomid! Anyhow, I was really happy to see you come back so will definitely be sticking around and cheering you on. I hope your DS gets his baby brother!

Thank you hun, I totally understand :) its very normal to feel this way ((HUGS)). I love seeing you around here!!! I don't post on the other thread I just feel like I don't belong there, I'm not pregnant you know.

Yes we DTD 3 times. ALL 3 times were around 9 pm ( after DD went to bed) I got my positive opk on the 23rd of sept around 9 am. We dtd the 19th, 22nd and 23rd about 13 hours after positive opk. I did the BSF all three times about 45 mins before. DH drank a rockstar about and hour before...poor guy barely slept all week! And we did it Doggystyle all 3 times. I laid with my legs up for at least 30 mins after each time too. I think that is it for what I did In the DTD department. I do have to say I felt like doing it 3 days before was a bit risky for a boy attempt, but for some reason that month I got my positive opk on cd15 rather then cd14 like I normally did. In any case...I am thrilled to be pregnant as we will have one more after this regardless on gender.

Let me know If I can answer anything else.

I did have stuff under the bed for luck but we never ended up doing it on our bed! It is all still there though I am leaving it!
