Crazy cycles sway pink, I think. lol
I will probably end up getting the digi OPK this month just because those dang IC's messed me up last month. I may start on CD 8 with the IC's and then on CD 10 go digital. This month I am also going to do the SMEP full on. I typically do EOD until I get a -OPK. Once it turns from + to - then I do an additional day and stop. This time I am doing EOD until I get a + then do that night, the next night, skip a night then do the following night. Nothing else in the plan for me except skipping breakfast to keep blood levels low.
What's everyone else's plan? Anyone doing any modifications to help up the chances?
Pfp - I've cut out all sway aspects expect diet, so there is not much else I can do to increase my chances...
Taking soy this month as well.
I should ov on cd 13-15, though I don't know how soy will affect it. Will start opks on cd8 I think to be safe and will probably start dtd daily from cd9 or cd10 to try and get plenty of swimmers up there.
Good luck to all!!

P4p- have been wondering same myself considering dropping FR from 10 to 7, giving up on the licorice root and vitex, anyone els have thoughts?
I'm doing the diet and vitex. I may take a zyrtec 12 or more hours before my attempt. This is my 1st attempt though. How long have you been trying? I swear if I don't get pregnant by the 3rd month I'm going straight through O with nothing but my diet. I am very impatient...and 37 now.
6dpo. I am feeling nothing yet but probably wouldn't at this point. Can't help but worry it will be a bfn month. My husband now adamantly refuses to sway if this cycle doesn't work. :(
Suregena what would be 1st signs?so far I just feel bloated and have a funny taste in my mouth for the last 2 mornings.how long have you been ttc?
:fx: hun - lets hope the soy did the trick for you!Quote:

(least thats what I'm telling myself - I'm down to diet alone, DH refused the supps and the FR after the 3rd failed months)
when do you think you will test?
Yeah Suregena, don't let it get you down if DH doesn't want to sway. You can't blame them as it takes a toll on all of us when we get BFNs. I think it is great that he has been helping at all. By the time we got pg, my DH was no longer doing anything...in fact I was getting him to release every other day to try and maximise his healthy sperm (which is not girl friendly) and we still managed to get a girl sperm to win the race!
Lassie, FX the soy changes things up for you this month and you see 2 gorgeous lines.
this is our second expecting a bfn thou ;-( yes been doing zyrtec, refphres, LR, SP, Vitex, FR, diet...... so next try will be thrid and i'm pretty fed up both other two were first cycle!Quote:

I'll test before we leave for Berlin for our vacation... so Monday/Tuesday.
hi ynwa
I started a funny taste in my mouth approx 3 to 4 days after o tasted almost metally, feeling tried, then sick occassionally at the thought of food nothing major, boobs have been feeling tingly for a good few days hard to remember but have been adding on here daily if you want to check. Funny taste i have been told is one of the most common signs of pregnancy????
Been getting period type pains on and off for days now keep thinking af is due but not happening. Pardon the tmi but have had cm all through since o and its still there just the same no sign of any bleeding. 13 poss 14 dpo today, period is def late, i have had a one or two long cycles of 29 days over last 15 months or so but with the last one i had 4 days of spotting before actual af so i didn't count that. cd 28 for me today cycle is usually 25 days sometimes 26 so am late by normal standards. BUT still keep getting a BFN :mad: GRRRRR. We weren't trying this month and were due to start our attempt on my next cycle (this coming one) so wish it would hurry up and happen either that or for the test to tell me i'm pregnant. I think a late bfp is a sign of a boy though so prob not good if i am
Anyone heard how shellebelle is doing after her faint positive, her and i are the same dpo i think
I am going to try to hold out until 10DPO!
So i'm such a geek today!!! But temp massivly up this morning I thought it was just the heat but when i got uo its cooler today than it's been for a while, i've felt so rough i had to have a nap and i was woken up from it by a real freaky dream.................hope is up a bit after the bfn yesterday
repeat after me, i must not test, i must not test!
probably shouldn't get hopes up either ;-S
i've been getting those really real vivd dreams. We'll all be either pregnant or insane?????
I am seriously beginning to think i am suffering from hypercondria or maybe one of those phatom pregancies dogs get. Have all of the symptoms but keep getting a BFN
Good luck ladies. I hope to see bfp's really soon.
It does seem that us ladies are doing the work! I would never tell DH to do anything sway related...he would think I was crazy! I wanted to try the soy this month but I am already on cd 5. I know you can still take it days 5-9 but I read something about lining issues. Don't know if I want to risk it.
I think atomic says something about it in the soy thread. 3-7 does seem to be the optimal time. That's my plan again this month.
AF is here full force as of this morning. I guess it was a chemical, since I got two light positives and now nothing. I'll start soy again on cd 3, but I'm not doing vitex or sp this month. I was just too worried about starting them after the positives. If we don't get a bfp this month I will start them next month. And I'm going to be more strict about diet this month. FX for those of you who are still waiting!
so sorry for you ;-(Quote:

Nobody ever expects to have a loss, either chemical or M/C..we always think it will happen to some other woman. I had a loss at 5 weeks in April but I don't put it in my ticker because it's hard.. You are also more fertile after a loss :HH: And It is okay to cry! :hugs:Quote:

But I will mention that I had a VERY scary start to this pregnancy. Even bright red bleeding the first week immediately after taking progesterone. So, I don't know if it was the issue or what.
aww so sorry shellbell :( as the others said it ok to cry, it ok to feel hurt.
Don't lose your hope though, it will happen for you you, hopefully the soy will make the next little bubba stick. *hugs*
suregena - i get what you mean, my dh is well and truly over it - he hates that i am still on the diet, he has stopped the remarks, but i know it doesn't bode well with him. He is against the soy aswell, says i should stop 'stuffing around' with my body.
I really hope this month is your month - will be looking out for your results :)
And if not,then you have a great holiday to look forward to!! And as for the continued swaying - maybe you be on soy and diet is all you need, maybe the FR combined with LR is just too much for DH and its effecting his swimmers too much..goodness knows - if only this was easier!
Shell - I am so sorry AF showed. TTC is SO hard and you just never know where the journey will take you.
I am trying to stay busy. Work today was so crazy. Glad it is the weekend and Olympics are on! I won't try to root too much for USA - don't want to raise testosterone! TMI...lots of CM this evening. I really can't remember when I have seen it like this. I hope it is a good preg sign and not a sign that I have screwed up on my diet! I really haven't eaten any different so don't think that is the case.
I am so jealous of you guys that are in the UK! I would love to be there! London is such an amazing place and I want to go back soooooo bad!
I'm so sorry Shellbelle, big hugs to you.
Well i'm now in my 2nd 2ww, although not got my hopes up and already looking to the next attempt. My oh is really wanting me off this diet now and not sure how long i can get him to go along with it. He doesn''t mind what i ask him to do but hates seeing what i'm doing to myself :(
My temps this cycle have been so very different from the last! I had my highest temp yet this morning (hard to notice on the chart) but still nice to see a cycle that isn't so up and down. 7dpo today.
FX FX FX :HH: I'm rooting for you babe!Quote:

I don't blame you! That's so sweet that he just wants that baby! AWW :)Quote:

I figure I can sneak as best as I can with no snacking, etc, next time... might even be able to skip breakfast if he doesn't force it on me! Dinner I can probably sneak in differently on nights he isn't off work, so, I might be able to make it work a little.
We'll see. We only have our one boy and I kept telling him this all is for fun, but it's fun I'd like to see through to the end... AKA a BFP! We'll see.
I really don't have very many post-ovulation symptoms this time... so I hope that's a good thing. :/ Whereas last time I did!
I have noticed the past couple days nursing has been a little uncomfortable, however I don't know yet if that's just how it is this part of the cycle for me or anything. It was like this last cycle, too (the one I suspect a possible chemical.)
The only nursing thing I've noticed in a normal, nonpregnant cycle is close to my period it is like nails on a chalkboard sensation, but *not* uncomfortable... just annoying... if that makes sense. More like a, "GET OFF ME! ARGH!" feeling. Haha. Right now it's just uncomfortable and achey.
I have had very mild cramping that I can feel in my upper legs at times, but not a lot... just here and there.
Urge I caved and tested this am,bfn!only 7dpo so I know it's still early days.fx for some bfp really soon for us:.)
Yay Suregena! Things are looking pretty good!!!! I know what you mean about not having so many symptoms. My last cycle I had cramping so bad right from O and it lasted every day. This time I only have had headaches, CM....which is a little odd for me since last month I had none and then my face has broken out. Praying this is a good sign!!!
ynwa...don't give the BFN a second thought!!!!!! Plenty of time to get that BFP!
Yeah, I'm not dry... just have creamyish CM nonstop.
