I'm CD 14... still waiting for a +OPK.
I am cd14 today. My opk is getting darker but not quite there yet
I'm cd 11 but I think we are going to attempt tonight. I feel I may have missed my positive opk...... I'm having all symptoms of O so going to go for it and if O isn't confirmed by the 15th well dtd again. Last month I o'd on cd 12 according to ff.
I am doing e4d. We dtd today so hopefully we can dtd cd 18 and I will be at pos opk. if not I will just have to go for it at pos opk whenever it is, whether it be tomorrow or cd 17. really need to up my odds this month
I'm cd19 today & got a +opk on one I got from the pharmacy yesterday, but - on digital opk yesterday. We bd last night anyway. Got + on both digital & the one from pharmacy today. Will bd again tonight & hopefully in the morning & then tomorrow night as well. I have been waiting for o to arrive for what feels like ages, it's not normally this late.

I am 6dpo and will test on Fri with a FRER at 11dpo like always. Chances are always slim to zero with DH doing pull out, but the day before O he pulled out and then went back in right after for a few more minutes, so hoping I have a higher chance this cycle! I've had cramping daily and a ton of lower back pain since 4dpo, but I think I'm like that every month LOL!!! Have we had a single BFP this month yet??? What a sad month! I hope those waiting to O will bring in some BFPs at the end of the month at least!
I hope so because I feel like im done ttc after this month.. the whole process has been dragging on since may2014 I want to move on
I'm cd27 and I think I am either ovulating today or tomorrow. I would prefer tomorrow as it lines up better with my specialist appointment and taking clomid. I haven't got an OPK+ yet but they are getting darker and also sometimes I miss the surge with the cheap tests.
Purple, Did they find a reason why you ovulate so late?
The dr thinks I have PCOS. I am on metformin now to help balance my hormones and it seems to have at least stopped the mid-cycle spotting/bleeding I was getting. It is also a few days earlier than the cd30 average I was ovulating on.
Did you conceive your boys quickly?
Yeah both of them were the first month ds2 was actually only one try on ovulation. All of my blood work and scans say I dont have any issues going on but I ovulate day 30 to 48 even later. Been ttc for a fair while now at least clomid is making me ovulate properly
I did ovulate one cycle last year on day 47, it was my 1st cycle trying and the cycle before was only 28 days so I thought my body was going to work properly so it was a big let down! It is so frustrating having long cycles!
I'm 4 dpo - just like you guys it's easy to "find" symptoms. It's been such a sad/disappointing month compared to December for everyone in this forum so hoping we get some sticky beans!!
January has been such a downer. :( I likely won't be O'ing until at least the end of the month since I'm only on CD11 and it looks like many of us here won't be testing for awhile. Hopefully there's tons of BFPs in the next month or so! :fingers:
I'm 9dpo and feel absolutely nothing. I'm feeling negative because I had a breakout at 8dpo. With my last two bfps, it didn't happen until later that I had a breakout and when I get bfns, it happens earlier. It could be a coincidence I guess but it's been a definite pattern.
Af is due on Thursday which is dh's birthday. If I don't start I'll go for betas on Sunday. Luckily I had the trigger shot so I can't test early!
Having positive pregnancy tests for a week and then starting last cycle has messed up my head this month.

Quinn, I hope you're wrong about the breakout.
Ladies about to O, fx!
I agree late O and long cycles are awfully frustrating. The not knowing is the worst part IMO. My O can be so unpredictable.
I'm on CD3, about to take my first Clomid dose! I hope I can handle the symptoms, I'm a little afraid...
Good luck ladies that are currently attempting or in the awful 2 ww! Excited to hear your news and some bfp's would be great.
Questing about timing if one is following the every four days rule, with one attempt in fertile period, can you start at any point? And try and make it coincide with as close to o as possible or do you have to start on a particular day will cd 7? Also if you bd how do you count the days until next bd, so if I had sex on a Tuesday, is it Wednesday is 1, Thursday is 2 Friday is 3 and Saturday is 4 or is having sex in the Tuesday and that is also day one of the next count of four so we'd would be 2, Thursday 3 and then bd on Friday again?
I am doing the e4d... I am cd 15 toay and we had sex yesterday I expect to ovulate day 18. So just say I have sex today count that as 1 then on the 5th day try again. I am going to try at pos opk even if its tomorrow I cant risk another cut off I wnt to get pregnant
Maiden I didn't get many symptoms when actually taking the clomid but I did get very tender and sore in the lead up to O. It went for about 5 days with O day the most painful day. I normally get some pain like that each month but clomid intensifies it!
Pinkin an extra attempt at opk+ definitely sounds like a good idea. I really hope this is your month!
My temp is up today but I had the worst sleep so I didn't even manage 3 straight hours of sleep at any point. It means FF is probably not going to help me pinpoint if O was yesterday or today.
New thread soon yay!!!Quote:

Hello everyone. I'm back from taking a quick break from all the swaying madness. I'm taking a very light approach to my sway this cycle. I'm just ready to be pregnant. I'm getting impatient lol. Anyways. I'm on cd8 right now. Scheduled to O cd16. Doing light supplements. But keeping up on my protein and calories. I've been doing Piyo (Pilates+yoga) and running daily and rock climbing 3 times a week.. I know- SOOO going against my boy sway.. /: working out just relieves stress and distracts me from all this stuff. But like I said I'm really working to keep my calories high and keep myself well nourished. How is everyone else doing? I haven't been following much of this feed so I'm way out of the loop lol
Good to see you back, take my blue dust [emoji170][emoji92][emoji170]Quote:

What's FET?
Hi Nann3r - did you get a personalized plan from Atomic? After my mc I decided to go for it and it has been great having her answer a ton of "little" questions that come up. I was going to drop my supplements after my second mc but she said many of those things help with egg health. Anyway, keep up with the multi and your exercise doesn't sound bad - rock climbing is probably perfect since you are muscle building!!
Farmgirl - we had almost the SAME issues. This is the first month I bought the wondfros. They actually showed up for me positive longer than the clear blues - it was very strange!!! Even testing the same urine. Guess I will be doing some of each since the wondfros are so cheap on amazon - and I still like to see the smiley faces! :)
Nann3r - I did wait 1 full cycle after both miscarriages before attempting again.
Blue bear, can I ask after your Miscarriages, did u ovulate or get your next period first?
I had an early miscarriage this month. Bleed for 3 days then 7 days after I stopped bleeding I started again for another 3 days. It seems like it is too soon for me to think that was a real period. I am so confused in this cycle.
tfahn - okay so with my miscarriages there was of course bleeding but then I'm sure I ovulated before I had a "regular period". For the chemical at 5 1/2 weeks it was just like a heavy period for 5 days or so. However swaying blue atomic recommended I wait a cycle - I know a lot of pink swayers go for it right away. For my missed miscarriage at 9 1/2 weeks (fetus had developed to 6 weeks) I bled for 2 weeks. However, I started acupuncture right when it started because the acupuncturist said she could help my body clear itself out (or however you want to say it). So in that case I had heavy bleeding (my body thought it was still pregnant longer) for 10 days and 3 light days. I got a regular period (no spotting in between) Day 32 of my cycle (which is a little late for me). I started counting day one on fertility friend when I first started heavy bleeding (I did have a few spotting days before that). Others I've known that far along bled/spotted for months but I think the acupuncture got my body re-regulated right away. Now just hoping it can help with a sticky bean! And many prayers of course! Tfahn - I did use the clear blue opks around the time I was ovulating just to check in and see - but I wasn't actually attempting those months before a regular period.
I have not no. It's crossed my mind. I just can't drop the money on it at the moment!Quote:

And now I'm all mushy after pregnancy and I'm at my biggest! Which is good for a boy sway.. But it's driving me crazy not being able to just drop this weight! But like I said I have been losing a little weight tiny bits at a time. So I'm hopeful it won't interfere with my blue sway too much
Nann3r - I'm a personal trainer too!!! I am 15/20 lbs up from where I was a year after having my daughter. Breastfeeding and healthy eating I shed the weight fast. Training my clients I feel so big now! I've always been a light eater like you. When I got pregnant with my daughter I was at might lightest because we were going on a honeymoon 6 months after getting married - so I wasn't snacking and eating super light/healthy. I feel mushy as well - lol!! I've been on the boy diet for a year! Doesn't agree with my small frame as well. :)
Thanks blue bear. When I called the RE to report the new bleeding they are almost treating like a period and wanted me to start taking Clomid again starting tonight since this is the 3rd day of bleeding. I think I am going to skip the Clomid this cycle, just can't think it's a true period with the timing of the miscarriage I had. I have been using OPK and so far I haven't noticed a positive at all.
I lost weight before getting pregnant with DS1 but I was probably eating more like HE diet with 3 meals + snacks.
Are you keeping your exercise moderate? I generally exercised about 30 mins at a time when I was trying for DS1. (I didn't exercise much when trying for DS2 but I ate all day!)
I've been eating breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and night snack. I do 30-45 mins of piyo, 2-3 hours of rock climbing, then a 15-17 min run at night. I try my best to have carbs and protein in every meal AND snack. I hope it's enough!
The piyo and running is daily. The rock climbing is 2-3 days a week for 2-3 hours at a time

Good luck two!
I have an opk+ today but already have an attempt the other night so will leave it at that. I'm not worried about this cycle as next month I will use clomid.
Hello to you boy moms! Do you ladies drink coffee/did you drink coffee when you got pregnant with your boys? That has been one area that has been tough to cut out. I've tried to switch to tea but some days it's just not the same! :) Also, I'm in the 2ww - do you think the caffeine would hurt chances of implantation?
BTW I'm not a huge coffee drinker - maybe 1 cup/day. However, I am pretty caffeine sensitive - definitely makes me jittery if I don't eat enough.
Blue bear, I occasionally drank coffee before DS1 but was more of a tea drinker. I cut out caffeine the month before we conceived because I wasn't getting pregnant. Before DS2 I drank coffee every day but no more than one cup a day because I was still nursing at the time and didn't want to make my already hyper toddler more hyper.LOL I still continued to have a cup of coffee while pregnant. I think one cup a day is fine for TTC and the TWW even while swaying blue. I think it's safe to have up to 250 my per day during pregnancy which is two cups. I prefer to stick with one though but I'm just cautious.
Blue bear- I'm not a coffee drinker at all (can't stand the smell even), and I do have two boys. I drink a lot of caffeinated soda (3-4 cans a day is normal for me).
