Think Lola may be having some time out past week was a bit tough for her xx
Wonderful news TTC5!
5- great that the baby is ok! I hope you don't end up with PP I had that with DD3 it's no fun. And the bed rest is the hardest part.
Hi! No, its too much blood. It only lasted for like 2-3 days though..My body is acting all weird this month!Quote:

I don't know why, but she was right, I've been having a hard time lately. I really think I'm going to not try anymore. We aren't going to use condoms or bc or anything, but I am just SICK of taking opks and vitamins all day and buying expensive preseed and instead cups and worrying about my DH's balls every time I see him in his dance gear all padded up. He kinda understands, I think it's hard for him to see me upset and know it's because of his sperm. So, we are pretty much throwing in the towel. I may not be on here as much, but I will try to jump on every once and a while to see how everyone is.
It's hard to REALLY not try, so I think it might entail truly not trying and not thinking about it and not caring at all, however I can get to that stage.
Anyway, welcome to new ladies and hope everyone is well!
Hi! Im sorry if i post this twice. I pressed send but nothing happened. I think it is too much blood for being implantation bleeding:-( I was only bleeding for 2-3 days though..My body is acting really strange this month.Quote:

So happy for you 5....he is snuggled in there good!
Lola- hugs .I would do the same thing .Why use opk's if you dtd when ever you want anyway. And also you don't need all that healthy sups there is no problem with you .You not getting pregnant because of the low count .
Anyway I hope you get that bfp just like that.
Lola, I am sorry to hear that... :( But I totally get it. It must suck to be on here seeing people get BFPs. :( I really hope y'all can do IVF or SOMETHING!! You deserve a baby with your DH!
No worries, i had a similar thing happen to me last month, i had an anovulatory cycly (didn't O) and AF came early, and was only 3 days long, which is so weird for me, usually it is heavy 7 days worth. Now my temps are really high, i am really confused. How are your temps? I even changed AF on FF to spotting to see what would happen and it said - you are 23 dpo, please take a pregnancy test, so i am just waiting for more to arrive in the mail, i don't feel pregnant though, and i just hope things go back to normal this month.Quote:

I will be thinking and praying for you dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx Take care :awe:
Cinss- What's going on with you?
Yahmama- Did you test?
5- so glad things are ok, fx your little critter moves up!
Lola - I think that's a great approach, fx you can turn off the last few years of obsession and just let it happen.
I have something I want to share and I'm hoping this brings you ladies hope and not makes anyone feel bad. Around this time in 2010 I was obsessed with IG and planning my sway, I was counting down the days till our first attempt. I would go to stores and longingly stare at baby boy clothes truely believing I would never get to buy them. I saw a little outfit that I loved but wouldn't break my heart if I had to give it away. I slept with that outfit under my pillow every night till my bfp in Aug and put it back after my m/c in Oct. Today, nearly 2 years after I began my sway journey I put that shirt on my son. I share this because you never know how long or hard your journey may be but in the end you may just get everything you want. Fx and baby dust for you all :luck::bluesperm:
MFC - i am not sure what is going on with me, i think i am about 5 days away from O, but my temps are high, it worries me because i just don't see how it could go any higher after O, maybe i won't O again this month which worries me even more. We are just DTD every second day anyway. My Ovulation Chart
3pink1blue - thanks for sharing that story, i also have a tiny little blue singlet under my matress, i hope one day my son will be wearing. It was funny because i didn't tell DP it was there and he flipped the matress and put it in the laundry, when i saw it in there i was like "oh my gosh what is this doing in here, it is supposed to be under our bed!" He said "who's is that?" so i had to explain the OWT and he thinks it is just silly, i really really hope i get to rub it in his face one day :)
3P1B, that story made me tear up! Thank you for sharing it. :) I am so glad you got Charlie--I hope I am as lucky as you!!
Hi! Sounds like me then!How do you know that you didnt had ovulation? Im sorry but what is FF?:oops: I havent check my temp:-( How is the best way to do that? You need a special thermometer or a normal is fine?Quote:

You will need to get a very sensitive thermometer if you want to start tracking temps, they sell them on ebay, and amazon, and pretty much any fertility website. You can take temps in your mouth or down below in your vaggi, which is how most of us do it, i think :giggle:
Aha okay! Thank you so much for you answer! I had positive o-tests and all the signs of ovulation so it feels so strange that maybe i didnt o. But i guess that happens sometimes!Quote:

LMAO I actually like it, its refreshing to me, maybe put some lemon juice in it, no wait don't do that it will fizz like a mofo!Quote:

3pink-nice story ! I also have cute boy outfits only I didn't get to use it with DD4.Hopefully now. But we are cursed every time we ttc we are sick. So right now we are sick again...
I temp in the mouth and it's just fine. No way i want to temp down there when I have AF.
On the ural just use more water it has almost no taste. Im not drinking it anymore. Or BS or COT. Or ACV .
I did last year for months and my pH is teh same now. So why do it, right?
Thanks everyone for the sweetness. Not much I can do at this point but be happy that I have an amazing husband now and that I do have 2 awesome daughters, and that is all I could ever wish for anyway. There are some good things with not having any more kids....more money to do for the girls and travel, and I can just keep building my career and not worry about any interruptions. Gotta look for the silver linings.
3P1B, that was the sweetest story EVER! Got a tear from that one. I totally love moments like that, and you so deserve to be putting that cute little shirt on your son today. Good reminder that our journeys can be long and fraught with difficulty and heartbreak, but in the end, everything will be just as it is supposed to be.
I hope that I don't become a downer to anyone, by the way. I'm gonna try to stick around to be supportive and helpful with swaying stuff, and I will have to occasionally insert some of my perspective so that no one gets too much GD or anything. Hopefully someone will care less about getting an opposite and see that they are just lucky to get a baby.
I'm not a huge fan of the drinks. I think it is much better to drink green tea and lemon water and good natural fruit juices in an attempt to have lots of nutrients and all, but I personally don't think downing ural is that good for you.....that is my 2 cents, though. The main point of the ural is to raise ph, right? And that has been proven to not matter. What is more important, in my opinion, is being well-hydrated so you have more ewcm and intaking a lot of vitamins and nutrients from fruit and veggie drinks. Green tea is a good antioxidant and good for the cm, so no problems with that. But baking soda and such is hard on your system in certain amounts.....so you gals just be careful with that!
Lola- is right I only drink green tea , V8 , juices , club soda .No bad drinks here.
What to put in to FF if we have some white cm and some ewcm together? I just can't decide what is it now.
Hi! How are you all doing? When did you start with your boy-diet? How many weeks before trying?
I started in August 11 and had my first attempt in Feb 12
I started 3 months before first attempt, but the minimum i think would be 6 weeks.Quote:

Yep, its official, i have AF on CD17 WTH???? Back to CD1 for me without O again :( Temp still high too.
That is so weird Cinss!! Maybe your body is getting ready for the boy you are to conceive in April!!
I did have that thought too, and that makes it not so bad.Quote:

I don't think so, my girlfriend has always had 3 day periods and she has 3 kids, she is 28 yrs old. It is weird though that happened to me last time, and Kiara said that happened to her too in this thread a few pages back.Quote:

I'm hoping 6 weeks is enough! I'm going to have to be super strict about it and it's a struggle already. I'm just not used to eating so much. Lifting weights with DH is really fun though.Quote:

I'm with Lola on the drinks too. I did bsd before my m/c and when I stopped I had horrible heartburn for weeks. I didn't think about it much but each time I did for this last attempt I got heartburn again. Not worth it. And for all you new ladies, I got my son with a pH of 5-5.5, nothing would change it.
Kiara - I started it for 6 weeks before my first attempt but eneded up doIng it for 6 months before I got my bfp. The longer you do the diet the better.
Pop - my flow has been 3-4 days since dd1 was born and I conceived 5 babies since her, 4 on the first try. As long as your LP is more then 11 days your fertility should be just fine.
B3blue - don't focus as much on quantity as quality of foods. Cut processed stuff and stick to nutrient dense foods like meats, fruits, veg and whole fat dairy. You'll get more bang for your buck that way. GL :)
Cinss- Im sorry about af :sad:
For temping I only do it because I had no idea anymore about my cycle after we stoped ttc. I really don't care about the temps just like to use the chart to see what happened on every day.
I'm sorry I've been away for the past few days (again!) , so I need to read through the posts! But I have amazing news! I got a BFP on Thursday! I was SO sure I was out b/c I had a HUGE drop in temp on Wed., and thought I would start spotting as I was due for af on Fri and normally start spotting on temp drop day, but never started and still felt preggo on Thurs. Did a FRER, it was neg, but I took out an internet cheapie, and it was BFP!!! I'm going to try to attach a pic. The dr. took betas Thurs and it was 24.3. They are going to check next week to make sure they double properly (since i had the chemical in Dec. and 2 previous m/c before my DS) Taking progesterone daily and keeping fx this is a sticky bean!
