I'm too scared to use any (does it make it easier for sperm, i.e. boy sperm, to swim up there even quicker?)! We never usually need to but the antihistamine has made me super dry.Quote:

I don't know! U know how u can just feel it when something is going to happen? Well I feel it! I will be in if not this month then next months thread saying BFP!! We all will because May has just been such a successful month:)
I'm not nervous. I'm very anxious to get pregnant because I am running out of time and had 2 chemical pregnancies since January...so just want one to stick! I hope May is our month too!!
you can use lubricant -- but you want ones that are lower in ph (like RePHresh or acigel) if you are trying for a girl.
thanks!!!Quote:

I'm in the UK so I'd have to order it and I'm pretty out of time to do that!
We BD twice yesterday (plus hubby also released on his own, geez!) and we were this morning but waking at 5.30am this morning, we felt too groggy! Argh! But no + OPK yet so I just asked him to release again today and we'd bd again tonight and force ourselves tomorrow AM as he won't be back home after that until Sunday night! :(
How long does sperm keep in a fridge? I'm paranoid I'll have a positive OPK while he's not home! :(
Also... anyone want to look at my chart and see what you think??
I would check you local pharmacies, you never know! :)Quote:

what website is it that you girls look at when you say that it is an 'ideal month' for conceiving girl ??
I know there is a ton out there, but thought id ask what everyone here uses?
Lassie: Lunarium: Universal Lunar Calendar this is one.
Suregena~ I looked at your chart todays temp was pretty low. No + opk I'm surprised. Has to be anyday now, it almost looks like O is today, will see tomorrows temp. Wondering if opks didnt pick up LH surge or times of testing or diluted pee? Are you suing digitals or cheapies?

But I don't think my temps are 100% because of my groggyness.
I'm going to take an OPK again soon... have taken two today and both are negative...
I'm making sure to not take them with diluted urine... been taking them after at least a few hours and no drinks. Sigh. Confusing...
Suregena- it's so difficult! Sounds like you'll have your basis covered anyway.
Lassie- on the site I gave you , you have to click edit to change location.
surgena -- what times do you test for opk? I missed mine 2 months...and then started testing every 4 hours and found that my surge is in the evening/early morning....so it was + starting around 10pm until 10am! So you could miss it....
I tend to test in the morning (even though you aren't supposed to really) at like 6:30am, then again at 2pm, then again when I get home around 7pm, or between 8 - 10pm.
Today I've tested first thing this morning, at 3pm, and I'm about to go test right now again (with a clearblue... at 7:45pm)... it will probably be neg, though!
We're going to DTD tonight (attempt #3) and again in the morning (#4)... but then I won't see him again until Sunday night. ARGH. :(
Yep... negative (used a cheapie and a clearblue regular one).
My EWCM seems gone... it was there this morning! What is happening? I'm going to go look at the last time I ever had a positive OPK (I wasn't yet TTC ages ago, just wanted to check if I could pinpoint it at random... and I remember having some pains so I went and used it and it was very positive. That was back near Halloween-time. Just going to see which CD it was...)
I know it's ridiculous, or not haha but I go by the chinese gender chart, and I'm more primed to conceive in the warmer months for PINK! ;)Quote:

Presently, my last cycle was 30 days long, the cycle before that was 36, the cycle before that (when my period was missing when I had last TTC and lost too much weight too quickly) was 55 days long.
So maybe I will get a + OPK in a couple days? Argh. I was having some fertile signs the past two days. I guess it doesn't matter if I was because we did BD, but I guess I'm mainly stressed about him being gone from tomorrow until Sunday night.
*shrugs* I didn't want a maddening cycle of whirlwind confusion again!

Here is the calendar for my location can someone who knows what they are looking at let me know if I am primed for a girl this month? We have dtd the last 4 days including today.
Suregena try not to let it stress you hun, that's why I decided not yo cycle watch this month, it was causing me too much stress trying to pin point ovulation. So I gave up the temping and charting and vm and cervix checking and am doing opk to get an idea of when to dtd. I'm hoping the relaxed approach will help.
Good luck hun!
hope, didn't you have an apt this week?? Did I miss it? How are you doing? Fill me in when you get a chance! xoxo
hmmmm well i try really hard not to test but am still testing every day, i took a test yesterday arvo and it looked like a 2nd line (very faint) which i read at 5 mins but it looked more like an evap line, it was barely there! the more i looked i kept thinking evap. i also took another brand which is a pink dye test (so one blue and one pink) the blue ones are the ones that are giving me the 2nd line so not really trusting them, the pink dye was a def neg yesterday, i have had these ones before and they have never even given me an evap line so pretty good. thismorning when i tested with the pink dye one i had a very faint 2nd line but again it was that faint that i couldnt tell if it had colour and that was read at 8 mins so not sure if its given me a evap line or not, trying not to get my hopes up.
Still feeling queasy and today my boobs ache which i havnt had since i was preg last time and also feel like i have a sore lower back but in saying that i have had a full on day today so that could be the reason! it is ds2 4th birthday today so had a party etc so sttanding in the kitchen and rushin round is prob the cause of feeling achy. but how cool would it be if that pink dye was my first sign of a positive! on ds2 birthday! will try get a photo so you can judge, will upload it tomorrow (its evening here) and will take another test in morning to compare with.
Also have not told anyone that i may be pregnant, dp doesnt even know i have taken a test, he doesnt suspect i have gotten pregnant this cycle as i havnt been letting on. so you guys are the only ones that know!
Kiesse, this is what an evap looks like:
Attachment 2687
Was your line thin like that? It's like an indentation line of where the dye would go.
If it was thicker and faint it is prob what I call a ghostline.. what you see right before a BFP!
Ok couldn't wait til tomorrow. Here are some photos the pink dye test photos are the one test just different angles as its really really hard to get the 2nd line on a photo as it that faint. Its a barely there line. Can you see it? Attachment 2690Attachment 2691Attachment 2688Attachment 2689Attachment 2692
arrgghh the line isnt showing up on the photos! the photos are taken from my phone. bugger! will try and take a photo in daylight of tomorrow mornings test as i think the light in the bathroom affecting photo, its there but its not showing in damn photo! arrggghh!
No its not a thin line its like a full width line same width as the test line but just very very faint! will take a photo of tomorrows test.
I was hoping you would do that! LOL
wOw, It's like I see a thick smear but like you said it's VERY faint!
You might just have a ghostline on your hands!
I CAN'T WAIT for your test in the am!
It's like a pink shadow of a line, I even cleaned my screen LOL but I can see it!Quote:

I just inverted the photo and ya can see it ill upload it a few min (gotta take photo with phone and upload it via ph so will take a few min)
arrgghh ive taken a photo off my computer from my photo and it not worked out, you could always try and play around and see if you can invert it and adjust it, i cant upload photos from my computer damn it! this is driving me crazy, i just want someone to see what i see
Okay, if it's a thick smear of a line like the control that's barely barely BARELY there (even not pink yet) then it's most likely a BFP!
You could try turning it until you see the line and take a pic with your phone?
I'm VERY excited for you to test in the am! YaY! :)
When I step a couple to a few feet back from my screen I can see the in color ones better! LOL No doubt, that line is THERE!
Everyone else see it?? Is everyone asleep? HAHAHA
:holysheep: Kiesse, I believe this is your BFP.. the further from the screen I get the better I can see it.. that is NO evap AND IT's PINK!!!!
HEY EVERYONE WAKE UP.....DO YOU SEE Kiesse's FAINT BFP? ;)
Step away about 3-4 feet if you can't see it!!!!!!!
YOU ARE PREGNANT GIRL!!!!!! :pregnant:
lol, i really hope your right! THIS PAGE IS THE FIRST PEOPLE I HAVE SHOWN! No one and i mean no one else has laid their eyes on this test so you all know before anyone else, Still not getting hopes up until i see a better and more convincing line. will test again in about 12 hours time, its 7.30pm here now so when i wake up i will test, take a pic and upload it, i pray it is slightly darker
OH, It will be!!!!Quote:

I'm that sure, I'm freaking out!!! LOL
lol, i can see it, i can also see it on the actual test but still not sure if i believe it
I don't blame you sweetie! But for now, it's there! :)Quote:
