[QUOTE=begonia;28019]Goodness ladies you have been chatty this am :-) I like it! 'Cause I'm kind of a chatterbox :-)
I am so excited about your attempt iluvmyman! 3PNB is right ... we need to get you a nickname! Any preferences?
No preferences at all but nothing sounds very cool. Should have thought about that when I made the name but this is the first forum I've been a part of (IG doesn't really count) :)
Sperm's heads exploding??? That doesn't sound good. :) Wow, I sure hope that's not the case but might be good info going forward. I didn't use the EW mixed w/ BS since it lowered the PH, I used another EW. I went off the info from "another" forums TTC Boy E-Book and there was no mention of that and no warnings. Plus, I've seen people's sway attempts that have used EW's and BS Finger or Douche and that would be mixing them, right? Thanks for checking on this for me.Quote:

I'm planning to beg my midwife to see me as close to 13 wks as possible and do a quick u/s, I'm hoping with our 10yr history she'll humor me. I'm just hoping I'll relax before the baby crowns.Quote:

FX to all the ladies in the 2ww.
I'm debating testing tomorrow at 7dpo. I know it's still super early but getting a bfp would really make my day and I know a bfn couldn't make it worse. I never give up on the bfp till af actually arrives so I always pretty much convince myself it's still just too early lol
I ordered a bunch of pregnancy tests why? because I'm a poas addict & poas pusher!!! I want you to poas but at the same time no because I don't want you to be upset while you already know is super early, but still don't want you to be upset on your due date hun, good luck on whatever you decide this is tough one :worry: lol.Quote:

Ziv, so sorry on the bfn :( It's so frustrating when you just want to be knocked up!
The rest of you gals are chatting too fast for me today :p
I have had one m/c and I feel so scared to try again (Very Worried) it's an awful thing to go through and I will never forget how low I felt after my m/c.Quote:

Lola, My thoughts are with you I am really sad for you it's not fair- two in a row :(
I realize what I did now. Darn being rushed. You are right and my confusion was that i was just reading how to raise the PH of Pre-Seed and got confused in the rush of getting eggs together. That was a great PH EW and I ended up using a PH EW of 8.93 and I'm pretty stressed I just swayed pink.Quote:

BTW- how much b12 I should take? Right now I'm taking one 250mcg a day.
I take half a 125mg b12 and 5000mcg folic acid
. I am the same and no doubt will be again xQuote:

Hey Guys! I am jumping back in- it has been a busy week for me!
So, I am on Day 10 of my cycle, still - opk's and very watery cm.
Did using Robitussin make your ewcm too watery- and not stretchy? For some reason I am afraid that it will only be watery- because it is working.
And also- how do you time the BD with having some abstinence days? I am finding this difficult since this is my first cycle after breastfeeding so I predict I will probably ovulate sooner like I did before I was pregnant with DD. I was ovulated cd17 while breastfeeding.
i didnt get y u r worried :o or may b im confused, isnt it we do BSF the day of O and then again b4 DTD and insert EW , do that Baking soda not decrease ph of EW ??? so i think what u did everyone does , i think im confused :DQuote:

To be honest, I did the bsf and ew for the first 4 months of ttc, and bfns. The 5th month I didn't do bsf, and still bfn with ew. When I dropped the ew, I got pg 2 months in a row. I'll ask Atomic in the ew forum.Quote:

I freaked, and I mean freaked!!!! about it for about 5 months of ttc with no good results. I'd be so stressed just trying to get it to a perfect 4 day abstinence that I was literally driving myself crazy. Some months, I would O a day late, and it would be 5 days, and I'd freak and wonder if I should have dtd earlier, but then just dtd when I was ovulating and had to try to not worry about my DH's sperm count! I think trying to time this and worrying about it is one of the top most stressful things when swaying.Quote:

I honestly don't worry about it swaying girl so much because I believe that diet and hormone levels and other stuff sways way more than timing. I mean, I would not do it twice a day, I think that would definitely lower counts. But, I will tell you, I have scoured fertility friend charts and we have had lots of discussions about this in the past 9 months online about it....most women on FF dtd several days in a row, all on O day, and some with dtd O-2 (2 days before O), then again on O day, so 48 hours apart. If you can manage to time it so that you have a 2-4 day abstinence, you have done an excellent job. But, if your O is so erratic, just take lots of opks and look for a fade-in pattern so you can see when you are getting close.
MFC, I think that is a perfect amount of both. I take about the same.Quote:

I'm so glad things are ending on their own, it's so much easier then having procedures while being devastated. With the last m/c I actually had no pain, nurses think I was in shock, physical shock not emotional. My first m/c the pain was excruciating, I was downing ibuprofen 800. Luckily it will only last a day or two, seriously get your hands on something strong and you'll be fine :)
Lola, sorry to hear you are having a hard time...thinking of you! I agree with Jen, get some pain medication and try to rest if you can!
Good idea, I do think I will have them call me in something with some punch. How are you feeling, Jen? I so hope this is your month!!!
So here I sit in the 2WW now!!! I feel really good about our attempt last night...it was 4 days of DH abstinence which was perfect timing wise....I had tons of EWCM which I havent been getting, I feel really great about it and trying to keep positive thoughts....it was the exact same attempt as when we conceived our son who we lost, everything was the same regarding timing, position etc. I even had an appt in the same town as my OB the day we conceived our loss and I was there yesterday too having an appt with my OB...crazy! I am hoping it is a sign from my little one above that he wants us to have a baby...how nice would it be if it happened today on my birthday!!
I agree with everyone else too about worrying when pregnant....once I get that BFP I am sure I will worry until I hold the little one in my arms...I too went to bed happy at 14 weeks and the next day at a routine appt my life changed in an instant....no one should have to go through the things we have gone through on this board but thankfully we have each other
Princess, that was so sweet, it made me cry....thinking about your little one giving you a sign from above. So glad your sway went the way you wanted it to. You seem pretty happy with it, that's awesome! FXFXFXFXFX for you!!!
You are right, no one should have to deal with losing a baby, it is really heartwrenching and makes you feel so defective and empty. Man, when I had my girls back in my 20s, I will like the poster child for ignorance is bliss....I just didn't worry about m/c, even though I had a chemical at 4.5 weeks right before I conceived my oldest, I just didn't worry about anything except getting food down. It didn't occur to me that the baby could die. I guess I didn't know as many horror stories as I do now at 35. Recurrent m/c just make you jaded. I've been reading all sorts of thread on other forums when I googled "miscarriage" about ladies who went on to have healthy babies. It's giving me some hope to read these stories.
FX for your BFP prince, this much thing cannot be coincidence, hope it s a sign of blue BFP! Enjoy your 2WW. And i am glad you feel good about your attempt and everything went well!Quote:

Thanks, hun. I am just so bummed and annoyed. I was JUST starting to think I was out of the m/c woods and starting to plan stuff and think about names, etc. I have good times and bad times, but I know it will get better. XOXOQuote:

Lola- I am sorry to hear about your losses. I hope that you get your blue baby soon! Thanks for your response. I use a diaphragm to collect cm and there is a bit of watery, loose ewcm, with some stretch but only because I went fishing for it. I am going to have DH empty tonight- I am happy with 48 hours- but aiming for 3-4 days. I would rather the guys be fresh than too old. If he empties tonight- then we have about 6 days and hopefully we will O before then.Quote:

When we conceived DD, we dtd the 9 days before o date (i kept getting watery cm, but wasn't using OPKs), so at least his sperm count is good. I think she was the last sperm left.

Ambien (a pill that is a sleep aid, TTC5!) and baked goods sound like the perfect ending Jen :-) I am glad you've allowed for some wallowing. I think that is healthy.
I'd like to add another round of xoxoxoxoxo for Lola. And a round for Jen, too.:HH:
Princess I am happy your attempt went so well; it sounds like it couldn't possibly have gone any better!!!! FX for you in this 2WW!
Thanks Begonia, I thought it sounded like some kind of exquisite chocolate lol!
I am on day 2 of chesty cough mixture and OMG my nose is running like a tap LOL!!!!
TTC5 you wish everything was chocolate, don't you :-) My kind of girl! And hello?!?! I just noticed you joined in Feb but have over 1000 posts. You're a machine. I love it.
BOOO to the cough! Better take some mucinex ;-)
