and very nervous. I pray it sticks and is the right place this time. :)

PS: the diet is not my thing...I eat the same as the kids but we do eat low sodium, no red meat, a lot of pasta as well as chicken and rice.
Hope this is enough!
Oh, ss will you use any product to lower ph?
I am not sure if I can be concerned about it...,my ph is always high!
Crashing to say... CONGRATULATIONS LADYBUG!!!!!

Congrats Lady Bug!! Great to hear BFP news!
Lemon~ Sounds like your attempt is going well.
I'm going to doc tomorrow, I never went for follow up after loss where they could do a scan bc AF showed right before visit. since I'm out this month figured I'd go for a visit! Concentrating on diet right now bc thats the only thing I can do. Of course, now that the Crohns flare is under control I have a cold UGH....
In stockings we do army men, cars, small toys, maybe even a movie, some candy!! Never heard of the orange thing-I'm in the U.S.
Good luck at your appt tomorrow, HopeandDream. Sorry about the cold - I guess it's just that time of year....
Thanks Mocha! How r u? Going away soon right? Your almost at 2,000 posts! WooHoo!!Quote:

Right now I'm just biding my time until I O, which will hopefully be in a few days. We leave for Nova Scotia on Thursday and are there a full week.
Lemon - I got it at a local health food store, but this is the brand I used. I also ordered it from them the last time as I had a credit on my account. Where are you located?Quote:

That's the exact same type I use too, lemon. You should be able to find it in a health food store.Quote:

LADYBUG!!!
I'm just over the moon!!! I'm literally jumping up and down right now! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! What a wonderful early Christmas/New Years present! :HH:
Lemon, I started actively TTC in June. I had been sort of on the IG diet from the end of March to May and then switched to the LE diet. In June, I ended up not even getting an O so of course I wound up w/a BFN. I decided to take the next month off b/c DH was going out of town when I was to O and I wanted a little break on the diet so I could come back and hit it really hard in Aug. We BD 9 days before O and then again at 7 days before O. Somehow, I got preg from a 7 day cut-off, NO JOKE! It’s in my charts (in my sig below). We used Sylk and nothing else. I can’t remember if it was a J&D or not. DH and I are still trying to wrap our brains around how we got that BFP but somehow we did.Quote:

I would squeeze the end all the way down thinking that was all of the RepHresh but then realized that there was a lot more left in the tube and the only way to get it out was to squeeze the middle of the tube. I usually ended up squeezing the normal end and then the next day, would squeeze the remaining gel inside my Va-JJ. Not really an exact science but I know I used an ample amount very frequently. There were a few days in that long string of BD that I did not use any RepHresh but for the most part, it was my morning ritual.
Lemon, I had DH start to release on CD2 and then we started BD on CD9. DH only released 1x a day, sometimes by himself, sometimes in me. His last day of release (which was in me) was CD19. FF is now saying I O’ed on CD20 so if that’s the case, we didn’t BD through O unfortunately… Until this weekend, FF was saying I O’ed 2 days earlier (CD18) on the 13th. I’m really not feeling like this will end in a BFP for me so I’ll be rethinking my RepHresh strategy but we’ll still do a lot of BD, especially close to O. As you know, Lemon, I don’t believe in timing for gender at all but I do believe in timing for getting knocked up, lol. :pQuote:

Hey everyone!
So, this am I had a peak on my cbfm. Of course it went from low to peak. I am upset bc we did not bd last night! In fact we even argued over it. I should have gone with my gut!
So, I may be missing the egg!!!!!!!
I also used too much rephresh bc I thought I had more time to get some real bds in there before I od.
Now I have 0-2 with rephresh! 0-3 and a bit, 0-4 and 0-5. But, I was using rephresh to keep my ph down.
I wonder if I can even get pregnant with that stuff!
To top it off, bc of all the releasing in between Dh could not dtd this am...right before o.
I guess I will try tonight but now I am clearly boy zone and sad bc I did not get as many attempts in!
UGH!
I should have trusted my gut!
MOCHA! Don't wait go for it!
OOTB..thanks for the info!
Looks like you should have kept bcing...lol!
Did you use the rephresh around the time you dtd or always in the am? I actually used it just before and a bit after so clearly I screwed it all up!
Hopefully we can try again tonight if it is not too late.
I cannot go by my temps....I am still high since last Wednesday!
Any advice?
Should I wait for the Ew to go away? I have a lot but I actually had to use rephresh as a lubey this am for dh...lol, it was the only thing I could think of bc dh could not even do much. I had 5 minutes before I had to leave for work and the kids were running.
Oh, I so wish we dtd last night...grr!
Mocha, will you try o plus at all?
Or o plus 1 day?
Lemon, there are as many, if not MORE baby girls concieved on O day than boys! I would DTD tonight anyway, and maybe even tomorrow AM! Maybe use a little bit more rephresh if you're worried.
I don't believe that timing sways boy or girl anymore at all, rather our environment and diet, etc.....I have heard and seen too many baby girls that were concieved on O day to believe that O day matters anymore...and I was scared to death prevously of O day!
I agree with auroara, lemon - dtd tonight and every night until you get your temp spike to show that O has happened. That's what I'd do in your place, anyway....
Thanks Auroara and Mochagirl!
We tried this am...and DH had problems....I am not even sure it is an option.
There is just nothing coming out....does that happen to any of your DHs?
So, now I am worried I will miss the egg!
I already used too much rephresh...mocha...how much did you use when you figured you used too much? Do you think it matters if you used it right before bding?
I cannot rely on my temp...it has been over 98 everyday since last Wednesday...I really am sick. I had a hard time at work today and sounded funny.
I am taking sinutab all the time as well for sinus. I cannot hear through my ears!
Is sinus meds good for swaying at least? There is no cough suppressant which sways boy.
Do you check ph with the paper stripes? I have used those and they do seem to show a rise when we bd. It is fairly low now with the rephresh.
Thanks girls!
Mocha...are you on for tonight???
auroara? are you bding on christmas???
I think I have a problem bc every single website provides a calendar with timing on it 2-3 days before o. It is crazy!
When you say a little bit more rephresh...what does that mean?
Hope, how was the docs???
Hi! Just got in from doc- he prescibed me Clomid and then something else to then build the uterine lining back up. He wants me to come back for follicle check next month when I get AF, and he will do I think a trigger injection. Ummm Wow.. kinda wanted to ask for this and didn't have to- he asked my age (36) and said as long as I was OK with the possibility of twins we should get this going. I'm really excited actually.
I asked about the supps and clomid and he felt there was no problem/no contraindications- I think Atomic had something on here about vitex and/or saw palmetto being a problem with clomid. I'll have to search around or start a thread.
Any thoughts on this??
WOW, Hope...that is great that you are well on your way!
What was the reason for the clomi? Is your uterine wall not thick enough? Twins! oh woweee...!
So exciting!
If the doc says it is okay..well, I guess I trust docs more than I should but it sounds good to me!!
Hope - so glad you had a good appointment. That's so exciting to have the wheels in motion like that! I think you're right about one of the supps not being good with Clomid - I'm thinking Vitex, but you should check the essay to make sure.
Lemon - I don't think DH has ever not been able to produce anything, but there've been several times he hasn't been able to finish the job because he's too tired. I've thought about what to do tonight and I think we'll dtd because these O pains are stronger than I've ever had them. I did end up using rephresh - just now actually - but I panicked when more came out of the applicator than I intended - maybe 1/2 tube. Now we're only about 2 hours or so from our attempt, so I'm afraid the rephresh is going to kill all the sperm. Since we've already done 6 days of frequent release and dh is 37 and I don't think has a super high sperm count to begin with anymore, I don't think I'm going to have him release before our attempt - I think I want his sperm at better than absolute minimum count in order to get through all that rephresh I squirted up there. I hope I'm not making a decision I'll regret later!
well it looks like I may have had a chemical....I tested today and BFN.....My AF is due tomorrow so I guess I will wait and see...I am still having symptoms but it could be just PMS....I will keep you all posted....

Oh ladybug, I'm so sorry - I hope af doesn't come and it turns out your bean stuck after all :HH:
I am sorry ladybug!
Mocha....oh dear, I guess I have totally used too much rephresh...ugh!
It is hard to judge with the tubes.
I guess in the end if we are BFP, we cannot possibly be unhappy!!!!!
I do wish you luck and I hope things go well with dh....
I just feel asleep on the couch.
I actually have super o pains...and never feel like it on peak day. It hurts too much!
We will see as I really want a bfp!!!
