Robin- excited to see what your next test brings. Our bodies do certainly have ways of playing games with our minds or maybe it is visa versa.
Foxtrot- sorry this month reminds you of past loses, but don't lose hope. FX this is your month with a super stickie pink baby bean.
Kelbear- so sorry AF found you. [emoji17] FX next cycle is your BFP.
XX wow- 19 day LP and still no AF or BFP, that is weird. Could BFing be influencing it at all? Are you using FRER or IC tests?
Crossing my fingers for everyone who has still to test !
XX- If you test again today and its negative, then i would get to your doctor so they can do a blood test and see if something is going on. But you are STILL not to where you were when you got your BFP with your other baby so i still feel its possible you ARE pregnant and its just taking a while..slow cooker if you will..other option is you ovulated much later than you think.
edit: oh my god XX..your temps are REALLY good. They are where i was this last BFP cycle..i was so hot i felt like i was feverish.
XX- PS: i would use a clearblue..i know they arent cheap but they pick up VERY low levels of HCG for that "pregnant: 1-2 weeks" result
XX, I would call the doctor if I were you.
FX for everyone testing! :)
TMI but I had a giant glob of ewcm, so I'm really hoping to get a +opk tonight!! Side note, I think it's crazy the things I get excited about while ttc. HA HA! I don't think I've ever been so excited to see so much snot-like mucous. :rofl:
I'm stalking this thread XX...fingers crossed for you. :happy:
Congrats girlie and all those with BFPs!!
I'm a few days past ovulation and wondering if I'm pregnant again...my breasts are aching, I'm exhausted, I'm starving, I'm having twinges/cramps, I'm crying at the drop of a hat, and I have that particular metallic taste in my mouth. It could be that my hormones are just wacky because of my early miscarriage last month, but I do feel pregnant. I'm not going to test for quite a while, because if it doesn't stick, I'd rather just pretend I wasn't pregnant.
How do you guys stick to the diet in the 2WW? I'm not doing too badly, but I'm so freaking hungry that it's really tough. Honestly, I can barely hold myself back.
Just got a +OPK! Yay for attempt day.
Serenity, I have trouble with that too. How many DPO are you now?
I don't actually know how many DPO I am. I haven't been temping, and I didn't use OPKs, because after my chemical I found that I cared a lot less about gender and I just relaxed a bit on everything. We did attempts every four days. I'm on CD 22 right now. I'm pretty sure that I ovulated later than CD 14, though - I saw EWCM between our attempts (on CD 16).
Good luck momamia and foxtrot! :happy:
Relaxing about charting and stuff could only help sway pink anyways. :) (I'm remembering correctly that you're a pink swayer, right?) I managed to catch the first egg after a chemical for both of my kids!
Hi everyone! Can I join this thread? I'm currently CD8 and this is my first cycle off BCP so I'm not sure if I'll even ovulate...but I started using Wondfo strips Saturday night (CD6) because I was cramping. I'm both eager and nervous for our 1st attempt (this is my first ever trying to get pregnant-- so this is a bit different for me). I'm kind of tired of doing the cardio and not snacking so I want to get pregnant quickly lol but I still want me best chance at pink so I'm trying to be patient.
Foxtrotmama- GL with your attempt! I wish the best!
Momamia you crack me up! It is amazing the things we get excited about. Very happy your attempting time is here.
Foxtrot- yeah for your attempt too! Now let the 2WW officially begin!
Serenity, I think you are smart for waiting to test. I know you said you are cd22 now, what day would you consider AF to be late if she stays away? Very hopeful for you that this month you get a nice sticky bean.
XX- did you test again yet? I am so anxious and excited for you.
Good question Girlie...I think I will just ignore it for as long as possible (maybe another week or two?), rest and relax lots, eat healthy but still less than usual (and not much meat), and take care of my little ones and work on my business. If AF doesn't show up, then I guess I'll test eventually. :happy:
Still waiting to hear from XX... :happy:
Welcome Ahorn! You found the perfect thread for support! So happy to have you join us. Lots of ladies get pregnant the first month off birth control so I hope you are one of those lucky ones.
I don't think DS2 wants a baby. :D This is the second month in a row we've had a hard time getting him to bed on attempt day.
Sorry foxtrotmama!
I got a positive opk!! I can't believe it! I'm only cd11 and I don't normally ovulate until cd20. Wow! I'm so excited that I'm ovulating so early this cycle!! :)
Good luck with your attempts foxtrotmama and momamia4 :happy:
Serenity, how exiting that you are now in the 2ww. If you are cooking a little bean in there your body might need a little more healthy food and that is why you feel hungry. Don't go overboard, just stick to the upper limits and fill up your stomac with lots of tasty, crunchy vegetables and rice. I know it is hard to stick to the diet and cardio in the 2ww, but just try to do your best. I was on the PCOS fertility diet, so I could eat up to 60 gram protein a day, thank god. It would have been very hard to me to be on the normal LE diet. Keep up the good spirit and work.
I had a lower BBT this morning... I guess that means AF is on its way? I haven't tempted for 2 prior days but this was today's reading...
Feeling super disappointed. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...138e239334.jpg

Serenity, my diet always goes to crap in the 2ww. You're not alone. :)
Back from camping, it was great! I'm not home yet, lm at my in laws and trying to stick to the diet is not easy, lm just a few days away from af/testing and hungry!
Robin it's not over til af shows! My boobs stop hurting, less constipated and have one day of EW or watery cm before af. Do you usually have certain signs before af?
I really, really hope this is a minor glitch for you and temps go up.
Fingers crossed for you!
Ahorn welcome! Gl!

Serenity I'm always super hungry during these last lp days, l still vegetarian and try not to have breakfast etc but these are definitely cheat days for me lol
Sent from my 2014813 using Tapatalk
So my books are stinging daily now. Mild cramping lower right side daily, overly thirsty, drooling in my sleep (I only get when pregs) etc
I've been hungrier than usual as well. That being said... the temp drop concerns me. I go back and forth feeling like AF could show.

Robin, don't read too much into your temps. I know it's hard but they can be deceiving.
Thank you! This is true. 😊Quote:

XXforhubby... where are you darling waitin anxiously to hear about another test or a doctor visit!
Your temps are still looking great XXforhubby! I think you need to test again. :)
AFM
I have 2 packs of FRER showing up in the mail today; not sure when I want to start testing. I have HCG bloodwork scheduled for Monday but I'm sure I'll test at home before than. I kinda like living in denial right know, meaning I don't know if I'm pregnant or not but at least the possibility and hope is still there.
I don't blame you tfahn. I am not planning on testing early this cycle. Maybe test on Friday?
Well, I tested again yesterday. BFN. My temp is still high. My RE wants me to wait it out for AF to show. He doesn't want to give me Provera to start a period because my progesterone levels are already nice and high. It's possible that I haven't ovulated despite high temps. He still said it's worth a shot at taking Clomid 100mg days 1-5 next time. Obviously the Clomid worked by extending my LP.
I could go in to get bloodwork, but honestly I don't see the point. Time will tell one way or another. And certainly the outcome won't change.
I will say that I will keep having attempts well after I think I may have ovulated. This cycle my family got sick, and I had to care for everyone. Hopefully everyone will be healthy next time!
Thanks for thinking of me ladies! I'm only going to pop in every now and then. I'm preparing myself and adjusting to the reality that my baby making days are over. After talking it over with my DH, he is going forward with a vasectomy next month. I feel like we've given it plenty of time, since March, and I am ready to move on. It may already be decided for us with this crazy long cycle I'm on. I may not get to try again, which I am ok with. I'm starting to really feel like I'm done. I can see pregnant ladies and not feel anything!!!

My Ovulation Chart
I already posted this in the SMEP thread but this one is a little more active. I need some advice please. :) So I got a +opk yesterday afternoon at 2pm and already dtd earlier that morning at 10am. I screwed up the every other day part of SMEP this cycle because I really wasn't feeling well the day before yesterday. We dtd really early this morning (5am) and now I'm considering dtd again tonight (~10pm) in addition to tomorrow morning (~7am). What do you think? Should I add the extra attempt tonight or just dtd tomorrow morning? I feel like I don't have enough attempts in my fertile window if I don't add the extra attempt. If I don't add the extra attempt, my attempts would be: O-4, O-1, O, and O+1. If I add an extra attempt, it would be 2 attempts on O day (today). I'm not sure what is the better thing to do. I'm currently at the point where it's more important for me to get pregnant than to get a specific gender. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :)
I'd do it again!! Why the heck not!! 👌😀Quote:

Thanks Robin! :bigsmile: That's what I was thinking too. I guess part of me is kind of freaked out about too many attempts/lowering dh's sperm count. I guess when it's actually O day it doesn't really matter too much about lowering sperm count. I think I'm just making up things to worry about at this point.
I really hope this is it for you Momamia !
Rooting for ya girl
Either way moma I think you have lots of great attempts in this cycle. If you didn't do the extra attempt and didn't get prego you would probably regret not going for it so I agree to probably just go for it. Good luck!
Thanks ladies!! :)
XXforhubby- that long cycle sure is weird. If your progesterone is high, that could be why AF isn't arriving right? When I was prescribed progesterone I was under the understanding that you won't start AF if you keep taking the pills. It sounds like whatever you decide or the next steps you make, that you are at peace with it and that is the most important part. :awe:
XXforhubby, I would be getting a blood test if you haven't had AF arrive yet. Your chart is looking great!
XX, when will they do a blood test if AF hasn't arrived?
I can request a blood test at anytime. I want to wait it out a bit longer, in case O was delayed. I'm starting to feel AF may be coming soon, because I'm bloated and have 2 breakouts. We will see though. I'll probably get a blood test next Monday if AF hasn't shown up.

Bloating and breakouts happen in early pregnancy too :)
