September 2WW!!

So I went into FF and took out the 2nd peak day and the last high day, after reading that the monitor would have given those to me no matter what after the first peak, and now suddenly I'm 4 dpo. LOL. So I guess I'm in the 2ww, but even FF calls my pregnancy chances "low," since it had been 5 days since our last BD. At our ages (late 30s, early 40s) its probably right. I'm disappointed that we didn't have a real attempt this month, but thankful that it gives me an extra month on the diet and that if I did, indeed, o when FF and the monitor say I did, then we should have a REAL attempt in a couple of weeks when DH is home.

My good friend is 37 years old and her dh is 41. They dtd 5 or 6 days before she was due to ovulate. They weren't trying, they were avoiding. She got pregnant and is having a girl in Feb 2013. It can happen Shell. It does all the time. Good luck and happy 2ww to you.

Ive heard this story so many times! Swimmers can easily live for up to 7 days! The reason natural family planning (avoiding) only has an effectiveness of 70-80% is for that very reason...

you're still in with a shot! :)

:fx:

So, it is time to join you girls! Waiting for the result for our fourth cycle (only 1 dpo). Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!

Lassie, thank you so much for the sweet words!!! ♥

Hope&Dream, I know exactly what you mean. Especially when I was using the progesterone cream and then the vitex, I just KNEW I was pregnant...it really was heartbreaking to see that white test, BUT...I do believe this is your month. At least I am praying that it is! ♥


Shell, I agree with the other ladies...you're not out!! It only takes ONE :) ♥ Crossing fingers and toes for you!!! ♥

Well...I'm still holding out hope I can catch my crazy ovulation this month. I went to the dollar store and bought cheap opks to use along side my digitals. (I hated wasting the digitals! So expensive) I bought a TON of them. In fact, it was so many and I was so embarrassed, that I didn't even take my sunglasses off while I was in the store. LOL

Good luck ladies!! I hope this month is as successful as last month was!! Xx

Awww ladies I swear your words really help. Tomorrow is 10dpo I kids want to test and thinking about it makes me want to hurl. I have been eating out of control for a week. Perhaps I need to know if it's a bfn it will make me stop eating like there no tomorrow.

Hi hope, glad your hanging in there - the hunger could be a good sign.

I'm getting really fed up with the diet now - really missing all the nice things to eat, have been a bit naughty and had half an ice cream once to twice (still in cal limits though just more than normally have) and snuck the odd nibble off my sons choc bar when he wasn't looking. Blimey look what were driven to!!!

I'm waiting to join the two week wait. I got a plus opk digi yesterday morning and we dtd last night (wondering whether to try again tonight or tomorrow morning as well just to up our chances although AS did say just one attempt for first couple of months so really unsure - don't know how long i can be so strict on the diet though plus all the vits and tests etc are costing me a fortune!).

Good luck to all those testing soon. Beadin did you figure out whether your o was real or fake?

yay! I am new to the 2 WW. I am just thrilled that I o'ed. TTC pink and I had a loss (girl) in may at 20 weeks. still swaying this time just much more relaxed about it
it had just been rough since the loss. we were ttc and then after 2 months realized I had retained placenta, well then a D&E and i finally had a period and ovulated monday! I was nervous I wouldn't bc I am still nursing DS2, so I was relieved.
I am only 3 dpo...so we will see...

Hi ladies! Just dropping in so say hi and that I miss you all lots. Finally finished moving into the new house. Now we are unpacking and doing all the fun stuff, lol. Moving was super hectic and we had one BD attempt that was most likely too late. I didn't even have time to use OPK's or anything so I doubt anything good will come out of this month. I have just been planning for next month's attempt.

Congrats to all of the new BFP's!

just out of nterest girls how many attemps have you each month
