Jazzers, it sounds to me like you might be having an implantation dip if your temp went down. Is the spotting red or brown?Quote:

So if you want that steak, I'd hit it up right after the BFP to celebrate :heart:
Last night we were all still so sick that DH ran out to grab us take out from a BBQ place that's really good. My appeite is still crap from nausea + sinus infection so I just had some of their scalloped poatotes but they were so buttery and yummy it did fill me up and didn't make me sick after either, so that was nice. Hubby also drove to an area he hates (really traffic-icky) to get us gourmet cupcakes at this cupcake place. The store competed in the Food Network show "Cupcake Wars" if anyone has ever seen it. I love the show and I was floored when I saw someone from Richmond VA on it, and then when we found out the shop was 15 mins away, well now we go a little too often :) really moist delicous cupcakes that are NOT too sweet. They are so divine!
So DH was behaving yesterday!
KD, I'm so excited that you got a lot of attempts in! I just feel this is your BFP cycle! I got my BFP at 9? or maybe it was 10 dpo? So :fingers: that this is your month!
I know there are quite a few of ya'll who are O'ing around the 20th, how are the sway plans going?
Wouldn't you know it, I used my last internet HPT stick this am, which of course was a BFN, so I have to decide whether to buy some FRER or wait it out. More than likely the :poas: in me will be running to the store tonight LOL!!! Thanks for the vibes Auroura, how many attempts did you do? remind me of your sway?Quote:

So I guess only 2 tries in my fertile window, I'm sure the o day attempt is the one that got me pg.
I got an ultra faint (seemed almost like an evap) on a Clear Blue Easy Early test at 9 dpo? and a much stronger second line on a FRER at 10 dpo. I think FRER are the way to go. They are expensive, but they are very precise and do have nice lines early, unlike other tests that really don't go dark or even show a second line until after AF is due.
Lemon: If you know you have already ovulated I would not keep dtd. Are you temping? If you've already gotten your temp spike then no need to dtd anymore. If not, then I would say ya, it can't hurt to dtd again.
Jazzer's: Is it red or pink/brown blood? We can all speculate but if you are pg you will know for sure in 5-7 days. Unfortunately its one of those things you'll have to wait out -- waiting is so hard tho.
Littlemiss: When do you expect to ovulate? I am starting opk's tomorrow/6 days before I expect to o. I will test 2xday for the 1st 3 days and then 3xday til I get my +opk. Morning, afternoon and before bed.
Auroara: I hear you about the food. Did not even think of it. I start feeling the nausea around 6 weeks so I'll have a good 2 weeks worth of eating before my food desires begin to change.
O'ing in 6-7 days, can't wait to be in my 2ww. I will still only eat 2x day to keep glucose low but will loosen up on the food a bit. Still no meat and I will only eat the "right" foods, but I will be a little less careful about amounts. If I hit 50 grams protein, or go a little over on the sodium for example I won't freak.
hey auroara thats exactly what i plan to do just eat eat and eat untill the nausea hits me, god i hope its this month, i doubt it as were only doing 1 attempt,
the last 3 times i took clomid ages ago i ovulated cd 16, cd 17, and cd 19 so to be honest i have no idea when to expect it lol, ive started to poas today and il do that 2x a day for a few days then maybe 3 or 4 times a day as i need to make sure i catch the very begining of my surge to decipher the 0+12 attempt,
Hello,
Kd.....you are an POWs addict...hope it is bfp!
You had a great attempt!
P4p..thanks for the advice....
Little miss....how will you know you are o plus? Will you abstain or fr? GL:)
Hi amari:)
Pinkin....how are you?
So, here is my horrible attempt.....just when we started..literally started....our 5 year old started to be sick and then again every 2 hours!
All night long. I stayed home from work today.
So, now bc we stopped on sun....min we were soooo tired and bd'ed out...and then last night we missed it bc of a sick child....we will try again tonight. The thing is, I think I am oing today instead of yesterday...so it is possible.
However, the sway is gone....I ate food..lol, stopped fr, and no extra stuff.
I am so sad we were worn out mon...and not able to last night.
Seriously, fate is playing tricks.
I do still have Ewcm....can't use met temp although it was up a bit....but I did not sleep, I still have major I pains and achy etc.......more advice!
Thanks and GL everyone!
Ps aurora....how long after your opk did you dtd?
I hate ms!
actually I only took one opk that cycle and it was barely a negative, but BD anyway at 5 am on Christmas Day and that was the day I concieved. Previous cycles I got a + OPK one day before I ovulated, if that helps any.
HELP!!!
Ok, so I don't really know my cm very well yet. Always been on birth control since a teen then when went off for one month accidentally got pg with ds1. Then back on bc, and when off 1st month pg with ds2. then back on bc while breastfeeding and when finally went off to try for #3, got pg 1st month trying. So I don't really know what my body does well yet not on bc or pregnant.
Anyway, today is cd10 for me -- normally I o on cd16 or 17. I was feeling little twinges on my left side, and a slight pain -- nothing too noticable though. I got outta the shower and tested my cm and its clear, wet and a bit stretchy. So I freaked out, omg maybe I am o-ing early. I did not even opk test this morning b/c I figured I would start tomorrow on cd11. I talked to my girlfriend on the phone and she said don't worry. You get wet for a few days before you o. Is that true for all of u???
I don't see how I could o this early. My temps are 97.7-97.8 everyday. No dip-- nothing yet. So my temps don't show anything happens.
Sorry for tmi -- but do u girls normally get really clear,wet, watery a few days before you o or is it just when u o??
For me it was about a week before O, and on O day itself it started to taper off, usually my most abundant EWCM was about 2-4 days before O.
I usually get ewcm for up to 5 days before O.
I get ewcm for about 5 days before o too and find i dont have much the day of o
I don't want to be excited, in case I don't end up with a BFP this month, but my 21-day progesterone results are back and after taking Clomid cd5-10, my level is 38!!!! Last month it was a mesley 8!!! I asked her if I could be pregnant already with that high a number and she said yes!!! My level has never been that high ever!!!! Can you tell I am excited??????
Ladies, share you progesterone levels success stories with me for those who are pregnant and those who are not, what were your levels?
i get fertile CM for about a week before O, and usually goes creamy right after.
What do you mean...barely negative?Quote:

And o-2?
I am thinking I am at most 0-2.5 ...useless at my age and at least 0-2.
Today would be o plus 24....silly and useless or 0 plus 8-12 hrs somewhere in there.
Just wondering why more people don't keep biding through o and afterwards like Kd?
Seems like a good idea.....we were burned out at 11 days.
So, I guess today is actually o day?
Really pink?Quote:

What about last month...this is kind of like yours.....0-3 and 0 day right?

My big confusion are the o pains..they last forever and sometimes are quite debilitating
Then it hurts to sit down due to pressure in my bum...still don't know what that is!
Pinkin, you get that right? How long after that or before that do you think you o?
Have there been any updates from suregena? I've been thinking about her and hope she's ok.
Lemon, I get a feeling usually on o day of being uncomfortable in my lower tummy and bowl area.. Then all of a sudden which the last to cycles have been in the late pm I start to get real bad pain which feels like its in my bowl area and it hurts!!! It is so painful to even dtd. So I got the real bad bad pain about 8pm and it lasted all night id say because i went to bed at 11pm and it was BAD then.. when i woke up it was still there but no where near what it was the night before , we dtd at 6am and was still a bit uncomfortable to dtd.. So I am not sure when my body actually releases the egg?? I am not even counting dpo this month because i dont feel confident so I am just not interested at all! We only dtd once at 6am because i only just made up my mind after talking to my d/h and decided to go ahead , d/h had already released 2 times that day and we tried to dtd when i got the pains but it just wasnt happening for him... soooo had no choice but to wait until 6am, have no one to blame but myself for that because i should of made up my mind earlier and dtd on his second release !! Oh well cant change it now i can only hope next month is better!!
sorry just read over that its meant to say my last two cycles i have noticed the pain in the pm
Lemon, although my O pain is nothing like yours, I must say that my strongest O pains actually come about 2 days before O, which I confirm with temperature.
Thanks mocha and pinkin!
Once is better than nothing pinkin....and you never know:)
We blew it with too many right out of the gate....and I am oing late in the cycle.
I still have clear Ewcm and it is minimal but totally there.
I am not sure how interested either of us will be as we did not sleep at all.
Oh, and dh now has recharged his sperm....
What to do?
Oh, I see why you have the o plus bd then!Quote:

Does anyone think that since dh released a lot over the last two weeks it will make a difference even though we have not bd in 2 days?
Lemon I think you need to have d/h release for 7/10 days straight and then start dtd.. I wouldnt miss two days and then start again because i think is sperm count would be fairly high without releasing for 2 days??? If we had of missed one day i would make d/h release twice or 3 times.. If you could get d/h to release twice and then dtd on the 3rd that is an option BUT If he is anything like my d/h 2 times in a day is a HUGE effort!
As for my attept yes i think it was o plus a few hrs but i just cant be totally sure which is a bummer but i guess will find out soon enough the outcome!
Lemon-- If you missed 2 days I would definitely have dh release 1-2 times before you bd. Are you dtd everyday this cycle?? I am confused....what is your bd plan -- or shall I ask, what has it become now?
Thanks for responses -- it really helps. I took an opk at 5:30 and it was negative so big relief. But I got paranoid and used a whole application of rephresh at 3pm today just incase so now I messed up my rephresh plan. Oh well, I can just continue to take it every 3 days. Taking it today early was 2 1/4 days after my last full app.
Thanks everyone!
He did yesterday in the am as we were going to bd last night thinking it was o day....then ds1 started to be sick.
He tried this am...nothing...could not do it.
Other than one day we have bd though....and he is 39!
Guess I will take the chance....?
Hey, lemon! Just trying to catch up! What did you end up doing with your attempt? Sorry it got messed up. Maybe it worked out for the best, FX!
KD-That's great news! I've never had progesterone levels taken, but hope this is it for you! What was your attempt like?
Hello to all the other ladies!!
Hi Amari !!
KD, I have no idea about progesterone levels, but it is sounding very good. FX!
PforP, CM is different for everyone. Last month I had 4 days of watery and then 2 days of EWCM and then O. It is all about seeing what your own pattern is, but I understand why you haven't been able to do that in the past.
Hi everybody else! I have been super busy so have only just been able to do a catch up on the latest.
yeah , this.....Quote:

:FX: for you ladies making your attempts and hope we start seeing some BFP's from those whom have already made their attempts.
Today is CD13 and since CD11 we have been making a splime attempt per day as i think im due a shorter cycle soon, so thought we would get to it so we dont miss our fertile window. We switched to FR as AS said no point abstaining then making several attempts. I have dropped rephresh at moment as my ph has been ok and just going with the splime and the herbs and baby aspirin.
I feel sorry for DH tho as he not getting any real action and if i have a longer cycle then expected he will not have it for a while yet.
Hi, pink! How are you feeling? Glad you decided to get an attempt in this month, can't hurt, right?
Morning all!
OH GUYS HELP ME ........ i have had a nightmare i dont know what the heck is going on, i had some stretchy cm yestaerday i had back ache and i could feel a sore thriat comin on which now thinking about it has happened the last 2 times i ovulated, i was taking my ph also yesterday and it kept rising from a 5.5 in the am to a 6.7 ! last night, i didnt think anything of it and went to bed as i was only on cd8 yesterday (cd 9 today) well i woke up this am with a huge temp rise (could this be from sore throat ?) and my stretchy cm had gone and i couldnt get any out for ages but when i finally got some it was white and creamy and would not stretch one bit, i applied a whole app of rephresh, took sudafed, drank tons of aspartame and coke, i thought have i ovulated ? on cd 8/9 ????? i rang my DH whos phone was off got hold of him an hour later and drove to where he was working and he dtd in a cup and i inserted it once i got home after i had it in my bra on the way home, after that i had some citirizine and a satchet of CL (err in my mouth it was awful i spat it out) i also took 2 aspirin, and an hour after inserting DH sample i put half a FTF of replens, i took an opk this morning it was very negative, but i took one yesterday morning and that was negative too, i dont know whats happened have i really messed it all up, could i have ovulated this early i only finished the clomid on cd6 (3 days ago) i hope i havent as this attempt was awful and i was quite stressed with all the rushing around, if i did ovulate i think we did a 0+15 attempt as when i checked cm last night at 11pm it was still stretchy, and we did our attempt at 9.45am this morning, any advice ladies what do you all think ??????
Nope - it was just a quote from me saying I wondered how suregena is doing since we haven't heard from her in a while...Quote:
