Been doing great so far and hope to stick to it until my attempt in January.
Kitten~ How are you feeling, Kidney infection gone? I had the CVS too, doc had to insert the needle twice bc she wasn't in the right place. I was crying the entire time (emotional pain not physical). I truly cannot believe I had to experience that. How early are you going to do it. Are you doing it even if your bloods come back normal?
Indigo~ How are you doing with the attempt? Your close right?
Mocha~ Hope you have a good time away. Maybe with the constraints the baby swaying sex can be spicy!!! LOL
Indigo~ How you feeling??
Yuzu~ You doing OK after the chemical? Thinking of you :)
Oops - sorry - I didn't realise he was releasing on the between days. That sounds like a great frequent release attempt, then. Yes, I think if I were you I'd add more attempts. Sorry you're frustrated :HH:Quote:

Mocha- hopes she leaves you fast and you can get on with your attempt, sounds tricky but I'm sure you can make it work, FX for you :HH:
AF is finally gone today!!!! I just came back from my follow-up u/s and the tech said everything looks clear to her - the doctor will still look at my images, but I'm optimistic my body's getting back to normal.
WOOOO-HOOOOO!!! :cool: O is just around the corner, and then your BFP is next! :flowerz:Quote:

Hi Hope! I just got another +OPK a few min ago so who knows!?! Thought I already O'ed b/c of the temp shift but w/this 3rd +OPK just now, i'm a bit confused. Oh, well...Guess DH & I will have one more go at it tonight... :pQuote:

I am 6dpo today and I am soooooo thirsty and I have a dry mouth....had a little nausea this am....I hate this part of the TWW, i over think everything and its too early to test :)
Mochagirl - I'm so happy for you that your u/s showed all clear!
Out of the Blue - I once got a + OPK 4 days after I oed! That's why now once I get my first + OPK (confirmed by smiley face) I wouldn't test anymore.
HopeandDreamG - yes, probably just going straight to CVS. I doubt I'll even do the 12 week blood work as my screens will probably come back high just due to my age alone. They will do an NT measurement though.
Hi everyone,
lots of news!
Yeah mocha....clear bill for this month!
Hope..I am so glad you are feeling better:)
OOTB...what did your temp do?
ladybug...a few more days to go!!!!
So, now I am confused....did the vitex really screw anyone up?
I am cd 10 and I have had lots of CM for two days now.
My temp went up today but not unusua and I am sick....I would have to wait to see it go up and stay up.
My CBFM says low still but the lh seemed darker on cd 8 than it does today...only had two opk sticks and both are negative...what is going on? I have major o pains and that is typical for me. I usually feel it quite postively around o for several days. I have had burning ovarian pain and aches etc. Usually I get them 2-3 days in advance. I just cannot imagine I have this much cm and no o!
We dtd last night,...cd 9 and debating it again.
My ovucue says i will o on cd 11 or 12...so, really I am due to o anyday.
Should I leave with one time attempt with abstinence (how we got ds2 lol) or dtd again.
I cannot help but believe in timing...still, after all of this!
I am so confused!
And, I am worried bc EVERYONE here did FR! ugh!
HopeandDreamG~thanks so much for thinking of me! I'm doing okay--looking ready for the next cycle.
Wouldn't it just be easier if we got a big, pink dot on our tummies when we O'd? Or maybe a little, pink dot--I don't care, just some really clear sign that O was here!
Oh, by the way, I'm starving! Darn girl diet!
Lemon~Vitex screwed me up really badly. It gave me horrible headaches and screwed up my cycle length. It works well for a lot of people, but it was a disaster for me.
OMG! Yuzu, I'm so sorry Hun:( I just saw your ticker was gone and I've been MIA for awhile so I had to read back through this thread. I really hope you get your sticky Pink baby and BFP soon. Hugs from me xoxo
Mocha- I just read through and I'm so glad that this cycle looks like it's a GO for you! Pink baby dust coming your way!!! You too, Yuzu!! Fingers crossed that December is a big month of BFP's!!!! :luck:
What are you ladies putting in the stockings? I need boy ideas 4 yrs old and 18 month old.I have a few things like chocolate santas and toy cars but im stumped other wise ?Any ideas?
Okay…I guess it’s official. I’ve O’ed and it was on the 13th, the 1st day of my +OPK. I’m now 3dpo. I think copious amounts of RepHresh canceled out all that action we got but I’ll be having a nice cheat day on Christmas regardless of the outcome!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
Yuzu, I’m so sorry…You are in my T&Ps ::HH: I hear you on that “Darn Girl Diet”!!! I am sooooo hungry right now, I want to eat my tea cup!!! Hang in there...you are sooo not alone!
Hope, sending you oooodles of pink sticky dust for January!
YAY, LadyBug!!! UGH, that 2ww always drives me mad! 7dpo now for you so you don’t have much longer to wait hopefully! When do you think you’ll test???
Kitten, that’s crazy about getting +OPKs 4dpo! I usually get +OPKs leading up to O but this one is a weird one for me…As long as I O’ed, I’m thankful! Give your belly a sweet little rub...:HH:
Lemon, Vitex has been known to make your normal cycles crazy or your crazy cycles normal. Don’t worry too much if your cycle is off…cycles which are a bit off may be an indication you’re swaying pink. You were asking if you should just leave it at one attempt or BD again…well, you probably already know I’ m a BD all the time girl so I would say go for it again, especially if you’re really anxious to get preg. I also don’t believe in timing at all and think it’s best for everyone to BD around O. Just my :twocents:
SweetSis, will you be going for it again here in a few wks or taking a break? I say GO FOR IT! For Christmas stocking ideas, I usually try to find cheap, little things like crayons, etc. It may be worth taking a trip to one of those “Dollar Store” type places b/c sometimes they have a few interesting things in there (not always!!!). Our Target stores usually have an end aisle w/$ store-like toys and they can be good sometimes too!
Mocha, come on early O!!!!! We need this little girl to get in your belly so you can have a nice BFP for NYs!!! :cheer:
:wave: Doula! :cheer:
Who am I missing??? Sorry I don't post here very often...My boys keep me pretty busy these days!!!
sweetsister - in stockings I usually put toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, flossers), undies, socks and a few small toys and candy/chocolate. HTH!
Outoftheblue - glad you got you O date figured out! Thanks!
As usual, I'm in complete agreement with Jen. :agree:Quote:

I just wanted to say...OUT OF THE BLUE...
what a sweet message...so sweet to include everyone or as many as you could!
thank you!
Your 2 cents is accounted for....but still tricky to decide when and how often!!!
Sweet sister...do you think it was just not your month or was there something specific you will change?
Um, out of the blue...I don't care how much rephresh you used!
Clearly often spermies in there and you kept your ph low...I am thinking BFP girl!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, good work and good job staying relaxed:)
What happened to 0 -1? lol!
Sweet sister....undies! lol!
I bought them hats and mitts as well...they get so many toys!
We always put an orange in the bottom...tradition!
And we live in Canada!!!!!
PS: what are you going to try next month??? Freq dtd?
Lemon im originally from Canada and we did the orange in the bottom in our family too i didnt know it was a tradition i just thought my mom was trying to fill it up:)Quote:

Thx, Lemon. I really want to post here more often but my boys are pretty demanding sometimes. I have to watch our Christmas tree like a hawk b/c they can't keep their hands off of it and although it's new (a fake one), it looks a bit dishoveled every time I walk into the living room...:rolleyes:Quote:

I got so stressed out and changed my sway literally every day. Finally stuff started to sink in and I was able to let go of a lot of things and find some peace w/the decisions I made. No matter what, you've got to find peace w/what you do. I don't know if my words help but I'm wishing you the best of luck, Lemon. I want to hear that you're knocked up ASAP, lol!

HI ootb,
I feel repetitive on these threads...the pink swayers dec thread and here.
I do like knowing everyone is on the older side. Ugh, I hate saying that!!!!
My two boys are playing dinosaurs or wrestling or something.,...it is busy!
Mine are 5 and 3 (almost 4).
OOTB, how did you get pregnant the last time? I am sorry if it is hard to talk about but I was wondering if you tried to do the same thing?
I still wonder about the rephresh? Did you use the whole applicator?
Sweet sister,
I think the orange was tradition and to fill up the bottom! We had big stockings and very big Florida oranges:)
What exactly are you eating that changed your cycle so much? Did you take any supplements as well?
I agree...bding a lot is a chore!lol!
Will dh release in btween? Will you dtd on o day as well?
I hope it works....the diet is going to be hard over Christmas so that is the first to go for me. Although, I am not sure I am really on it now anyway. I usually eat low sodium but this week being sick I have had a lot of soups!
We eat a lot of pasta but the other night DH might a chicken stufffed with ricotta cheese! Oh, and cheese....I still eat some. Same with bread...!
I think I better check out the food thread...lol!
Just saying hi to mocha...didn't want to leave you out:)
Hey ladies....this feels like the longest 2ww ever.....I am 8 dpo and trying hard not to poas....my lp is usually only short, I may test tomorrow...Thank goodness my boys keep me so busy!!!
good luck ladybug!
Funny - I'm Canadian too and HB's family did the orange thing, but my family never did. I usually stuff the undies in the toe of the stocking.

I am a canadian too and hubby's family does the orange in the toe...my parents always did jewelery for me....I am not sure what to do this year for my boys...maybe a small toy...Quote:

Did you dtd only once the night before positive opk? So o-2 or 0-3 and once?
Does everyone think only once is best....?
I know ootb is busy but does anyone know if she had DH release in the morning and then she bd in the evening? Just wondering what to tell DH!
I'm Canadian too, but my family never did the orange in the stocking (though I'm pretty sure dh's family did and I certainly know lots of other families that do that). I usually fill their stockings with candy, dollar store toys, and a few small presents. I find shopping for stocking stuffers one of the most fun things about Christmas! I also make a stocking for dh and one for my Mom!
I thought about stuffing one for DH...but not sure what to put in it.
It is easier for girls I think.
Will you start ttc now that the opks are fading in????
I cannot believe Christmas is next week...I really want this week over with.
I am sick and it is going to be so busy and I want to stop thinking about ttc and the diet!
DH's stocking is never that exciting - some of his favourite candies, a new agenda for 2012, some pens and other office supplies he might need and a few other odds and ends.
my hubby stocking is boring too....a new razor, and blades, some of his favorite candy some little gadget or a small tool....
I honestly don't think timing it important lemon...I ended up with a 1 day cut off...I got my positive OPK and did 2 attempts...Thats what I did the last time I got pregnant in Aug unfortunately that ended in an ectopic....I tried the same timing this month and we should find out if it worked in a few days as I am 8dpo :)....Good Luck
I'm an American and I always got an orange in my stocking. I think in pioneering times oranges were so rare that they were only purchased for special occasions like Christmas. I usually do an orange, a big peppermint stick, underwear, little cars, something chocolate, a box of raisins...just little stuff like that.
Hey ladies :HH:
Hope you are all having good weekends!
Had accupuncture yesterday to try and help the m/s which has been awful, seems to have taken the edge off so I'll be able to come on and post more, just couldn't face it feeling so ill.
good luck to everyone attempting!
xxxx
Lets see Lemon, i did the IG diet and i stuck to it like my life depended on it...im a bit OCD so i probably went overboard and then last cycle i started LE diet which i felt much better on ,but i think i need to eat more calories i wasnt eating enough and thats probably caused me to not have a period i think it was jut my lining it wasnt heavy enough for a real AF.
And i took cranberry and folic until last cycle i switched to spirin and folic acid thats it!
And DH wil release in between days and we will dtd on O day if it falls on it im not concerned about it,maybe because im older also if i dont dtd on that day i wont conceive cause it could be i ovulate in 1 day so im not taking any chances.
When is your attempt?
