Hobber, I used egg whites the last couple of months. Yes - I think we will try preseed this month and maybe drop the BSF too. Did you do BSF?

AFM... ladies can I just brag a minute? I hit my goal weight! 40lbs down!! I'm so happy :) I feel so very much better about myself. I also set my goal so I can add a little padding back on when I start an active swaying diet :) Honor is also thriving so well... I am making tons of milk and she's also eating solids like a champ. I just love her so much. She's an incredible mama's girl still - I can't leave her with anyone but DH but don't really mind.

My cycles are still being strange. After the bleed I had I've had nothing... no more periods, no nothing for well over a month. I can't figure out what my body is doing which is a little frustrating. Breastfeeding and fertility is just weird. But in a way I'm happy my body seems to figure it's not quite ready for normal cycles yet. A little nerve-wracking wondering if I might O at any time, though. Thinking my cycles were starting and then having them not really do so has given me a weird case of pregnancy/babylust though!!! I just keep cuddling my little Honor close :)

Skrimpy - Great job on the weight loss! Your days with Honor sound so great too, i am so clucky and wanting that little snuggley baby in my arms. I agree BF and fert are so weird, i was unlucky with DD i got my regular periods 1 month after giving birth, i BF full time for the first 6 months, and didn't stop until she was 14 months. Everyone was telling me that BF makes you have no periods!

As for my temps, i am still puzzeled, i have not added anything to our bed, we actually sleep with no cover at the moment because it is so humid where we live, maybe that is the reason. I usually have 1 glass of wine before dinner each night so it wouldn't be that either. I am pretty positive it is not pregnancy, or maybe i will end up on that "I didn't know i was pregnant show" haha.

I just thought it would be easier to get pregnant esp if we are tracking O etc and trying to do it close to O. I am so depressed! TTC is no fun. I wonder if I am not conceiving because I am so consumed by the TTC thoughts and being pregnant - maybe I should take it easy.

The first month we had 1 attempt, this month we had 2, but still BFP. I think ill change it up next month maybe DTD every other day for the entire month.

I know it's discouraging, but maybe it's a late BFP with a boy! :)

Great job!!!! It might also be your weight loss affecting your cycles...I had some strange cycles when I lost weight and it seemed my body didn't ovulate a few months. I'm sure you'll be back normal soon! A lot of things going on can really combine with each other!

yes, I did the BSF 1 hr before each attempt. I used EW every month that I got a BFN, and the first month I used preseed I got a BFP. I don't know if it was just coincidence or if the EW was keeping me from getting pg?

The month i fell I dropped the BSF and upped the pre seed ;)

Skrimpy, nice job on the weight loss!! I am so impressed. I bet your cycles are out of whack from losing 40 lbs-- it will probably take a while for them to regulate. Good luck!!

How much preseed did you use 5?

I inserted a few mls before and after and the week of O I would add more during the day just for good measure haha I do not get a lot of EWCM naturally so thought I could compensate lol ;)

Bec how were your beta results?

Thanks Soni and I'm so sorry to hear of your BFN :(

Yahmama- Your chart looks GREAT!!! FX for your BFP soon.

Jen: he is so incredibly cute!!!

MFC: Congrats on your little man, those u/s pics were no doubt. I'm so happy for you <3!

PoP: ((hugs)) you can totally get a little man hun... Keely on IG had 7 sweet DD's and then finally got her little guy :)

Flava: you can get pg with a little blue bean too! I am lending you ladies my blue dust for now ;)

Cinss: I would test again in a day or two... your temps are high. You didn't add a down comforter to your bed or anything? Mine went up a bit when we put ours on. Have you been having a glass of wine before bed? That can also cause temps to elevate slightly.

soni: I hope you get a bfp quickly

---

Thanks Skrimpy xxxxxxxx

Waiting for an update from you Bec!

PoP, so sorry to see you got a BFN :(

Cinss, hopefully you're not getting sick. It's odd that your temps would be consistently high though. It remains a mystery.

Soni, sorry :( I would definitely do the DTD every second day to increase your chance.

Yahmama, how are you going?

Skrimpy, thankyou :) Well done on the amazing weight loss! What a great effort. And glad to hear Honor is doing so well and keeping you busy.

Oh and ladies, I am with Hobber and 5, pre seed works wonders! I only use about 2g and find that that's heaps. I had a little of my own ewcm as well so if you don't have a lot I would just use more preseed.

So, blood test confirms I AM PREGNANT :D

My hcg was 181 at 13dpo!

Lola, how are you going? AF should be due soon shouldn't she? Have you tested?

Yay Bec... :pray: this is your BOY !!!

YAY Bec!!! So glad to hear your beta came back nice!

Congrats Bec...That is fantastic!!! Grow little man grow!

Been watching a lot of "A Baby Story" lately and everyone is having boys. Makes you feel like the only one on the planet that doesn't have one hey lol

Thankyou so much Cinss, MFC and PoP. I really hope it's a little boy tucked in there!

Pop!! Whats the news today!! I hope that line has some super blue color to it :luck::luck::luck:

Bec, belated congratulations on your bfp!!! So excited for you xx

You guys write way to much when Im not here lol

Soni-sorry about bfn. I would say the same don't use BS and change to preseed. I will do this to. Oh and don't stress about how many bd and when just have fun like every 2-3 days and then around O day.
I will do the same and hopefully we get that bfp fast!

skrimpy-congrats on the weight loss! Post us some pics from Honor!

Cinss-I have no clue what is with your temps if not a bfp...funny if I drink some wine my temp go down the next morning not up.

This great! Congrats!!!

POP-I use to watch baby stories too but not anymore. I don't know...it just makes it harder to see all that little boys and I don't have any. Plus I don't want the kids to see it and DD1 would figure out why Im watching ...

Yes DH changed his mind. (after I got rid of everything) He signed up for gym and going to swim and work out.
I hope for a fast bfp because I don't want to put on much weight.
thanks

SS about the BFN for you too. You're not out until AF shows though!


AFM: Of course I post and then go out of town lol. My appt with the RE is in 2 weeks to discuss my RPL results. I really think I'm fine, just got a couple bad eggs or something. I'm off to the store to stock up on diet/supp stuff! My last couple of charts have been strange. No positive opk last month and this month no ewcm at all. I put it in my chart for one day but really, it was creamy with just a touch of stretch. My temp also didn't rise above cover at all until today (4 days past when I think I o'd). I think I'll do EPO to help out the cm and use the Preseed I already have. Hopefully upping my water again will help it too. I'm so bad about drinking water.

POP - I'm sorry for the BFN :(

Bec - Great #! YAY!!!

Thanks for asking! I've been off here for a few days so I'll have to read through the posts to catch up. I'm 11dpo today and had a bfn on a frer :( But still having lots of symptoms and my temps are still going up, so I'm confused. I started doing opks yesterday, and there is a 2nd line that is getting darker each day, which I don't normally get this close to af being due. I'm just going crazy over here mainly with my symptoms not matching up to the neg tests...plus 2 close friends have announced on fb they are due the month I would have been due with the chemical I had...and they didn't bother to tell me in person first--just let me find out on fb even though they both know I was having a really hard time coping with the chemical. Thought that was very inconsiderate.

Hi Ladies,

Just checking in w/ everyone. I'm 35 weeks now baby is still transverse and just got a positive on strep B. Just crazy cuz all my pergnancies have been very routine and now I feel like I have Everything! :) Anyway, just crazy all the time here.

I need to get updated on everyone's BFP's and I think even a birth here!

The good news is most of them are from 2004 - 2009 so I wouldn't worry about the# of boys. :) I never watch those till I'm pregnant then I DVR them all and watch them 1st thing. :) They make me remember how painful labor is though so I can't figure out for the life of me why I watch them.

TTC5!! I You have a BFP!! I'm glad the surgery didn't make you infertile. How wonderful to hear!!!

I just got this message from TTC5 and she asked me to pass it on here....

I was rushed to hospital this morning with a big gush and passed a clot. Had scan and baby is in uterine still but won't know till tomorrow if the baby will make it. Threatened miscarriage.

Oh no! I hope all is well.
