I'm no expert Lauren but it looks to me like you ovulated on CD16 which would give you an O-2 attempt which is good odds for conception [emoji4] if you are doing E3D and are due to BD again I say go for it

Oh sorry your feeling down Quinn [emoji17] it really is stressful on us swayers when our man can't perform! And I suppose it's stressful on our men too hey. 2 attempts the day before O is certainly not bad - better than just the one! And luckily you did add in that extra attempt in the PM instead of waiting for the morning [emoji106] remember best odds of conception are at O-1 and O-2 and that 2 attempts does not put you in girl sway territory...
Could his arm be easily twisted if you turned the seduction on, or gently remind him how much he wants a boy and it's now or never lol

Haha I already tried and he's falling asleep as he tries to talk to me. We had a crazy day. I'm not in the mood ether but I just want to be pregnant! Thanks for cheering me up, I'm still worried it's not enough to get pregnant. I really thought I would O on day 13 so waiting until 11 made sense. I should have known clomid would change it up. Boo I'm so sad because I was feeling so hopeful. [emoji53]
I had 3 attempts including an IUI in the fertile window with my last dd so lifestyle seems to sway the most for me!

You have made a lot of changes with your diet and lifestyle this time which will also sway boy so hopefully that will be enough, along with the clomid to up your fertility and get you your blue bundle x
With your last dd were you swaying? And on clomid also? Sorry if you have said before
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hugs Quinn, hopefully your 2 attempts and the clomid get you a BFP with blue dust. How do you feel talking the Clomid? There's a possibility I might begin Clomid next month if we don't get our BFP this month
I finally got my + OPK last night at 8:30pm but my husband left town this morning so I didn't get in as many attempts as I wanted either. So fingers crossed I ovulated today to make out attempts count the most. anxiously awaiting my morning temp to show a jump.
Don't be upset Quinn! Two attempts sounds good to me for a blue sway. I was actually in a similar situation when we we conceived DS2. We'd had two attempts in the day or two before O and then on O day I wanted to BD again just in case. Well, DH had trouble performing due to work stress so I got so upset thinking we wouldn't conceive because we missed the opportunity. As you stated yourself, it seems to be your lifestyle that sways more than number of attempts so please don't fret! You can have all my blue dust!
Well I'm PUPO!!

Woohoo magical!! Been waiting for your post! So so exciting!
Quinn-- both my boys were conceived with 2 attempts in the fertile window! You totally have a chance! FX for you!
WooHoo Magical! So excited for you! When do you get to test? Sending you lots of sticky dust! Did you do PGD too?
Magical, really hope this is it for you! Good luck!
Attachment 28434I just had to do a pregnancy test this morning haha! But this is interesting. In the picture there's the same test. The bottom one is when it was about 30min after I made the test. The middle one is after 50min and the top one after 60min. In the middle one there is a clear line but I think I couldn't see any color in it, only grey. Hmm. What do you think about these pictures? The test is 10mIU.
2xblue can I ask when a positive is supposed to show on these tests? As in do they say don't read after 10 minutes? I'm sorry but I cant see anything really on top and bottom test but can see the grey line you're referring to on the middle one. I definately seen something in yesterday's test and to me it had colour. It's possible your urine was more diluted this morning. How many dpo are you? I'm sorry this is obviously not what you want to read and I hope so much your next test is a blaring positive! And I hope my eyes are just as tired as I feel and someone else can see something. I'm also on my phone so that could be dulling the pics as well. Sorry again for the non positive post :( but I know what its like waiting for replies. Fx tightly for a definate bfp next test!!
I can see middle line also, it's a bit of a conundrum though! Makes me think that I probably wouldn't trust these tests... Maybe try in morning or the next with a frer?

2xblue I definitely see the second line on the middle one!!!
6dpo today and I've been having crazy twinges and period like cramps all day. Can't wait until test day!
How exciting violet that sounds very positive. I'm also 6dpo and I've got nothing lol

This happens every time with cheapies with me! Like I said I always read them within the time frame now! They're horrendous for Evaps!

Ooh yes I forgot to say that's FANTASTIC Magical, hope it's a sticky one for you xx
Poptart I think it means pregnant until proven otherwise... Is this right ladies??

That's spot on mammacass :)
Oh Magical I'm so so excited for you!!!! Roll on test day xxx
2x I can see the grey line in the middle pic but nothing in the top and bottom I'm afraid. I've used these tests before and am reasonably sure they say not to read after 10 minutes. Could you get your hands on a branded test maybe? Fingers crossed your next test is a sure fire +ve!
violet winter hoping the cramping means good things for you :)
mt I'm so sorry your bw wasn't great. Hopefully your O day was off so the results are not accurate. big hugs!
I think lifestyle matters in a huge way quinn. Two attempts is still boy-ish territory as well but the main thing is the massive changes you have made. Sending buckets of blue dust your way!
ksmom how is your opk today hun? It was so close yesterday!! Hopefully we will both O soon and be testing around the same time x
So my opk was still not positive this morning lol, stronger than yesterday mornings but not as strong as my SMU one. I have to make the decision now whether to wait for +opk or do e4d which would be today. I think I'll play safe and stick with the e4d, I could be gearing up to O for annother week knowing my body!!! I caved and bought another packet of the CB digi opks hahaha, I'm the biggest hypocrite!!! The perverse part of me wants to see if the digis line up with the wondfos lol. We shall see. I plan on using my SMU to test the CB digi with as it seems to be my most concentrated of the day, even moreso than FMU (possibly something to do with the wine I drink in the evenings - gosh darned sway tactic! Needs must right haha)
In other news I got a referral to my obgyn. I've been waiting on it since March this year, it was initially for my heavy AF but since being diagnosed as anaemic and being on LE my AF is the lightest its ever been so I really don't need the appointment any more HOWEVER if we are not successful this cycle I'll keep the appointment and see if he might prescribe me Clomid. I have the low day 21 bw from my Sept cycle and as I've said before if I'm not pg this month we'll be skipping several cycles so I would have time to wait for more bw if he requests it. It has made me feel a lot more at ease if things don't work out this month. Obviously would still love to get pg this month but I'm kinda making my peace with things if it doesn't work out the way I would like!
Sounds great hopper! I would stick to e4d too. Fx you get a definate pos opk too! Are you adding an attempt at pos opk or just sticking to e4d only?
Hmm that's given me food for thought!! Lol. Well I think if we had an O-2 attempt I'd be happy with that but if it were O-3 I might add an attempt ON O day if I didn't feel confident about the O-3 attempt. I'm just after getting an appointment through the mail for a pelvic scan for the week after next, the same week as the obgyn appt. They seem to be very on the ball even though it took them since March to give me any appt at all! I suppose the timing might be right - I will still be hoping to get a bfp this cycle though.
I've got everything crossed for you too hopper! I would love to see you get a bfp this cycle!!!!
Yes the test should be read within 10min so I'm not trusting this one. So I take today's test as a bfn. I don't know should I wait couple days to test again. Maybe I don't even have to if af arrives before that. I'm 11dpo today.
I have a girls night out tomorrow and been thinking is it safe to drink alcohol. Probably I need to test tomorrow morning to see if I can drink. But would you drink alcohol at 12dpo if the test is negative?
How long is your lt phase normally 2xblue? Have you got any other type of test you can take in morning? Preferably a frer or similar?
Pbn, my normal lp is about 14 days I think. Last cycle it was only 7. I don't think we have FRER's here. Maybe I should go to store today and see what tests they have. I have ordered these tests online what I have now.
I didn't ovulate! My temp went down big time this morning. I tried to get Dh to dtd before he left for work but it didn't happen. I'm so sad. Now we only have two attempts on 2-O. Not good at all. That sways girl big time.

AF has finally arrived. Here we go again..........
Quick question - it started a wee bit yesterday evening but only a little bit and only properly started overnight, so would you count yesterday or today as cd1?
Thanks for all your kind words ladies. I become such a freak around O time and get nervous about timing. This time anything that could go wrong did. Oh well. Nothing I can do now but have an attempt later today that will most likely be too late. Thanks again.

Quinn hoping your attempts are enough to give you your boy.
TTC sorry to hear AF got you. Hoping this cycle is your lucky one!
2x I was late for AF last month and getting bfns, I went out on a girls night and had some drinks. People do it all the time when they don't know they are pg and aren't testing.
Thanks pbn (((hugs))) You know the feeling is mutual :)
Just did my digi and got a flashing smiley again but here's a pic of my Wondfo opk. Its closer but not quite there yet. Maybe tomorrow? So dtd today would put us at O-2 if its + tomorrow, right?
Attachment 28442
So exciting Magical! Yay!!! Best of luck :)
2xblue I think that's an evap, sorry :( Since it disappeared after a period of time I wouldn't count it. Last cycle at 9 dpo I had a line that looked like yours appear after the time limit but it stayed there. FX it's just too early right now. I think it'd be okay to have alcohol if it's a bfn at 12 dpo but if you're not 100% sure that's how far into the TWW you are, then I wouldn't.
Violet winter, those sound like promising signs to me!
Mamamcass, I've got everything crossed for you!!
Hopper, test with OPKs in the afternoon. FMU isn't reliable with those because LH isn't excreted into the urine until afternoon. I've heard the "best" time to test is 2pm but really any time after 10am I've heard will work. I typically do a four hour hold with minimal fluids before testing. Those CB digitals are evil. lol I've spent more money on those than I care to divulge. :oops: So glad you've made peace with things. This IS it for you, I can feel it! I will be seeing your BFP this month! :D
Quinn, two attempts is still :agree: for a boy sway. Those of us swaying pink are aiming for just one attempt because it seems to get good results. Many of us (myself included) got boys with two attempts in the fertile window. Diet really matters too so remember that. :)
TTC2015, the first day of bright red flow counts as CD1. I don't ever count spotting.
I'm now on CD25 and for the 4th day in a row this AM, got a "high" reading on the OPK. I'm getting annoyed with that blinking smiley....just give me my solid smiley already!! I'm still having pains in my left ovary and lots of ewcm. Should I be worried I'm having so much ewcm swaying pink? I haven't seen much of it since being on LE, however I've only o'ed twice in the past 6 months I've been swaying so I'm guessing my fertility hasn't been the greatest. I just get a little worried because I mass produced ewcm when TTC our boys. lol I'm trying not to complain though because I really just want to freaking ovulate already and hopefully get pregnant so I can get off this diet!!
Ksmom I wouldn't worry too much about ewcm. I know a couple people (myself included) who used preseed to mimic ewcm and ended up with girls. We all seemed to have low fertility because it took awhile to get pregnant. I might be completely off though so hopefully someone else can help.

Quinn I think you will be fine, I had a temp dip before O.
Sorry Ttc2015, FX got next months BFP.
Hopper it's looking like O is definitely around the corner.
2x I'm sorry I'm not seeing anything and I had the same issue with getting lines after time limits. I've decided that I am not getting cheap test anymore!
So ladies, still cramping so going on 2.5weeks. I'm still having the same symptoms I've been having: nauseous, heartburn, cramps, weird taste in my mouth, and headaches. 13dpo and got a big fat BFN this morning...I know I'm not out till AF shows up but being 13dpo and still BFN I think I'm out but it's okay even with the symptoms I bawled my eyes out last night and with today's bfn I've resigned that it wasn't our month after all. Fx for next month to be our month and move on. I will keep you ladies posted if AF does come or I get a magic BFP.
Fx that there are sticky babies for all of you.
Thanks Quinn. I used pre-seed too when TTC my boys so maybe using that on top of all the ewcm plus a boy friendly diet is what put me in blue territory. It's hard to not want to do everything the opposite as before when swaying. I'm hoping the LE diet and exercise will be enough to sway pink for me.
Signingmommy, sorry it's a bfn. :( I hope you get a bfp very soon. FX
Hopper, oh that's sooo close! Yes if you DTD today and it's pos. tomorrow then most likely it'd be a O-2 attempt which is great timing.
Signing hopefully it works out for you and you get a late bfp! What's your lp usually?
Ksmom, I also try to do opposite things and I feel like our attempts this month are like when I conceived dd1!
Af is due on Thanksgiving! How sad, I hope I get an answer before that!
Morning ladies how are we all travelling today?
Tfahn did you get the temp rise you were hoping for?
Hopper I agree with sticking with the e4d for now and see where your +ve OPK falls. Great that you have a back up plan with a referral on hand [emoji4]
Oh Quinn sorry you didn't get your temp rise this morning [emoji17] keep in mind its overall condition as well and all those other sway factors you have going for you x if you can attempt again today that's great [emoji106]
Ttc2015 sorry AF arrived, I wold count today as CD1
Big hugs Signing x
AFM 7DPO, no symptoms as of yet and chart isn't looking stellar either lol still a few days till test time, I am starting to feel better though so yay [emoji6]

Evening ladies!
Great to hear you are feeling a little better mammacass! 7dpo wow, that is just flying!!! When do you think you will test pet?
Signing I hope you get a late bfp! Will be stalking x
Ksmom omg I think our cycle this month must be nearly identical!! I have way more CM this month than any month since starting LE. Has me a little apprehensive but what will be will be. When was your last attempt? Did you have it yesterday to keep with e4d?
Well thanks to Ksmoms advice on opks and FMU I tested again this evening and am fairly sure its + or just shy of +. Either way our attempt will be in a few hours!!! I'm going for a lavendar bath with a big glass of white wine. DH is complaining of not feeling well, his throat is sore. I've told him he may pull himself up by his bootstraps and deal with it lol. Here's a pic of my latest opk - I'm sure I have everyone drive mad at this stage!!!
