It was good and definitely did the trick....I ovulated!
I think I took it in the am....but same time makes sense. And you don't forget.
GL:)

LAre you really going to do it that many times?
I am dying over 6 times..lol in a week...lol!
That is a lot. Why so much?
Why don't you reduce the number of times and not use replens? Just a thought. You are a vixen:)
Funny, I don't really miss meat but I do miss being more relaxed about food, iykwim.
Ps...good thing to point out, it might take a day or 2 after ov for a temp spike.
GL pray for princess....I am excited to see that pink bp for you:)
Hi hope,i dont think it matters am or pm when u take it but it can give people side affects ,bad headaches or mood swings ect,which i def had, so some take at night and it sleeps off,i took 2x a day one morn and night but i would have taken pm if i was prescribed once a day.
I would just phone your doctor to be sure though,my doctor is quite strict in how she does things and it is different than what i see others prescribe so,to make you feel better i would call.
Hi Girls, Today is o day for me and I am attempting tonight just one attempt and will be d/h 3rd release for the day... Had a long chat with d/h and we decided would be best not to wait and just go for it! why not!
GL Pinkin! FX for you.
GL pinkin hun,
hey all how are we, how are my clomid buddies doing anyone feeling any signs of O yet ?
dannikins hun did you do a 0+12 attempt ?
good luck pinkin!!
good luck pinkin!
stilll can't believe no AF surgena...I'd still head down to DR ASAP
yes i def agree with auroara on that one suregena hun,
I really wanna get pg this month. The diet is killing me. I think I might end up taking out some of the attempts. We will dtd am & pm from cd15 - 17. So 6 times, maybe 7. If I get an unexpected early +opk, then we will dtd 2x that night, the following am and 2x that night. So at least get in 5x.
Hey praying for princess....I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me..I could not dtd that much!
Pinkin....:) sounds awesome and perfect!
Hi All , Just woundering Would i have much of a chance of falling preg if we dtd 10 hrs after i think o happened?? I had bad o pain about 10pm and 11pm last night and yest morning i got a smile on my opk we didnt dtd until 6am this morning... do I have much of a chance?? Or should i just think the worst now?
I know 10pm and 11pm until 6am is not 10 hrs but I am just adding on a couple of hrs incase
Pinkin -- i think you still have a chance. Dtd once after o is always a more slim chance than dtd before o, or dtd multiple times; but you definitely still have some chance.
Lemon - there is nothing wrong with you....its not like I am enjoying dtd that much. I am not o-ing, missionary on the bottom -- its wham bam gimme your sperm sex. We will dtd 6-7 times from o- til o. 2x on cd15, 2x cd16 & 2x cd17. I am using rephresh every 3 days and only a tiny bit of sylk at each attempt. Tiny tiny bit of replens 1 hour after my pm attempts (8 hours before my am attempt). Do you think its too much? I am not doing jump and dump. I figure with 6 attempts and no j&d....we might squeeze in another attempt at like 1am (between my pm and am attempt) the night of my +opk.
Hi prayforprincess..I will apologize now as the iPad changes words....but your plan sounds good if you can do it. It sounds like a lot to someone who has been married 12 years..lol!
Will you stop at pos opk?
Why? With all that being is it because you want it in earlier?
Pink...relax and see what happens:)
You are still close to ovulation and you can't change it now right? Unless I read it wrong and you are still planning. I just think you will have a girl..! Hang in there!
No I have already had my attempt at 6am this morning, I may be closer to O then what i think anyway.. and yeah will see what happens! I didnt use the rephresh like i was i only used a tiny finger tip of it 24 hrs before attempt
Hey Clomid Chicky, im confused on this clomid ive had ewcm 4 days ago cramping now every day for 4 days ,and still my temp hasnt risen and no pos tests im on cd14 and its been 7 days since last pill so i wonder if the cramps were ovulating or just a warning of whats to come?Anyways i will keep on bding it is now as of tonight the 6th day in a row!:whip:
Pinkin ive been looking at FF charts of pregnancies and alot of them show that they have bd day after o so you probably will too :)
Oh believe me, we've been married for 8 years and by now my hubby is lucky to get it 3-4 times a month so this is a great pleasure for him. Exhausting for me!
No we are not going to stop at +opk. We will dtd thru o. 2x on o-2, 2x on o-1 and 2x on o day.
I really don't believe in timing at all, and I just want to get pregnant. I have been at this for well over a year now with all these failed IVF attempts. I feel with swaying, the diet and glucose is most important and if I don't get a bfp this month I don't know how much longer I can stick to it. Maternal condition is key to swaying, otherwise I think its 50/50. My normal diet makes me sway blue hard without even trying. So while dtd that many times may mean there is a little more sperm in there (tho not a ton with zytec, fr, rephresh, sylk etc), more boys in there also means more girls in there and I think my body will be more inclined to choose the girls given the strictness of the diet I have been on for 9 weeks.
I think if you dtd once there is 50/50 xx & xy up there -- if you dtd 10 times there is still 50/50 xx & xy up there, just more of it. But dtd more just increases your odds of getting pg. I know a great many women who dtd only once or twice and have boys. And I know a great many women who dtd a lot straight thru o and have girls. I think your body will choose what it chooses and it doesn't matter when or how many times.
Look, the women who are ttc boy are trying to dtd only once on o day and a great many of them are getting boys not because of timing or how many times, but because of their diet. And then there are us ladies ttc girls who want to dtd once and most of us are dtd at +opk or o day because we want to get pg and its hard with a cut off. The greater lot of us are getting girls if we've been very strict with the diet. We are all dtd roughly the same time but getting our DG because of maternal condition.
Sorry, rambling. I just don't think its worth torturing myself staying on this diet longer than need be only dtd 1 or 2 times at certain times only to get bfn's until I happen to get lucky, when those are not things that truly sway.
Well said, PFP. While there are some of us - usually the younger ones - who can dtd once and still get pregnant with all this other stuff we are doing as part of the girl sway, I think it gets harder and harder to succeed the older you get. Both of my BFP cycles this year, I got pregnant only after we added extra attempts - I think this most recent time it was 6 times. Like you, I just wanted to get pregnant and I'm 37, so the clock is ticking. The LE diet is hard to maintain over a long period of time, so I think it's best to increase your chances of getting pregnant quickly so you won't be tempted to start cheating on the diet, which is probably the most important part of the sway.
prayforprincess, I think you got the right idea for sure :agree:
I know a lot of couples who DTD infrequently and got boys and a lot who DTD alot all in a row and got girls, and some vice versa, etc. But I don't believe the old line that you should only DTD ONCE TTC'ing a girl because I know too many antidotal stories where women have DTD a lot and gotten girls, but of course I believe the ultimate factor is their maternal condition.
Can't wait for your attempt, and Peony's, and Hope N Dreams coming up!!
7DPO, hurry up TWW!
I am only 29 so hopefully with 6 attempts thru o I will get my bfp this month. I keeping thinking, possibly only 3 more weeks til I can make reservations at the Steak house! I have never had a hard time getting pg in the past (though my IVF cycles failed I think that is sooo different from trying naturally...the way they mess with your eggs, the drugs, taking out cells etc.). I have not tried to get pregnant naturally since I was 25 with my 3rd son....so 4 years later, who know's. Hopefully I still have my spark! I think I'll take out the replens and just use rephresh and sylk.
So, my husband sent me 2 dozen chocolate dipped strawberries for Valentine's from my boys. They are milk, dark and white covered. I know the dark are no good -- too many antioxidants/healthy stuff. I'll let the boys eat those ones. But the milk and white chocolate one's should be fine right? I looked up nutrients and they're 110 calories, 6 grams fat, 1 gram protein and 15 grams sodium. Not bad right? You think its ok if I have 1 every other day or so? I o in 8 days so I don't want to mess anything up with my diet right now.
prayforprincess i think that is fine hun a little treat every other day,
I know I will be the exact same way during my 2ww. I was laughing with my girlfriend last night because I feel like once I POAS and get a bfp I will jump up and down "hurray I can eat again I am going out to dinner tonight to celebrate...and oh ya, wahoo for being pregnant too!" I think I will first test 11dpo. When are you testing?
sis40,
I just wanted to see how things were going for you and your little bean. I pray all is well.
Hey everyone,
Just wondering for anyone with advice....dh and I started with some fr on cd 3 and 4, bd 6,7, 9,10,12,13....and no o or suspected o on cd11. I am experiencing mid cycle pain that I have to have checked out by the doctor.
But, I am for sure ovulating now. Problem is, we gave up yesterday....!
So, I have a 1.5 day cut off. We have not used anything to sway but supplements and diet....such as rephresh or Zyrtec.
If the pain subsides enough we might try again.
Problem is, we did not dtd yesterday!
Any advice?
Should I relax or dtd again?
Lemon - if I were you and the pain subsides enough, I'd give it another try just to keep my bases covered. I know how badly you want to get pregnant. If you are hurting to much to do it, though, don't sweat it - you've made a great attempt, even with the cut-off! I got my BFP with an unintentional 1.5 day cut-off! :luck:
You did!
I thought you were o-1!
The other problem is Ewcm.lots of it!
Plus, you were fertile when you got pregnant....I am clearly not!
Thanks mocha..I appreciate it in valentines day....how are you?
Lemon -- I agree with Mocha. Try again one more time if you can. If not, then you still made a great attempt.
I am starting my attempts on Monday, as I am due to ovulate on Wednesday 2/22. We will dtd morning and night (2xday) for 3 days straight, o-2, o-1 & 0. If I get a unexpected early +opk, then we will dtd starting that night when my dh gets home, 2xthat night, the following morning, two times that next night (o night) and once in the following am (o+12hours or so). No matter what I want to get in at least 5 attempts minimum. I am aiming for 6-7 tho if all goes as planned -- which it never does on the month's your trying to conceive.
Thanks p4p....if I go again, do I need to keep going?
I always wanted consecutive so it throws me off for a one day attempt.
Mocha...what about sept?
Was it a cutoff at all?
Your attempt sounds busy and very aggressive for a g and a bfp:)
In Sept we had attempts 6 days in a row, with the last one on O day.
Hey, ladies. Sorry I've been MIA. I was sick since thursday and then started to feel better this wknd but was at my parents and busy with wknd plans. Hope everyone is doing great! Hope to have time to catch up tomorrow or later tonight!! Thinking of you all! xxoo Amari
Hi ladies! I was hoping someone else might have experience with this... I am 8DPO today. This morning, my temp dipped a bit (still above coverline, but barely), and this afternoon I've had lots of AF-type cramping, and some pink/red spotting. Last cycle was my first cycle after weaning the baby, and also my first cycle post partum, and my LP was only 10 days. So, now I'm worried that this is AF starting again, and that my body doesn't even have a long enough LP right now to support a pregnancy :( Anyone else had this?? Any suggestions?? I'm so bummed :(
