Jaw Dropping June 2ww - part 2!

PBN - Yep, will definitely want to BD early and late in the cycle too even when outside of potential fertile window (beyond the whole keeping #s healthy)– I read about the whole woman’s body “recognizing” her partner’s sperm, and giving signals that he is there as a permanent figure not a hit and run type of guy – which also sways blue.
I already sent a message to hubby saying no baby this month – we’ll just have to have lots of sex – just got a smile back :P
Ever the planner, I have redone a calendar with ideal BD planning haha

TTCblue – will wait it out with you! Exciting to have a few more of you in the tww ;)
I try to look at it that way too, though am not religious, I do believe in fate and karma – and if fate thinks best to wait a bit, so be it!
Like you, I have put on some weight and feeling a bit flab (admittedly my exercise level is not what it should be) and it frustrates me – if and when I do fall pregnant, I will of course continue eating healthily but there will be no junk, as really will want to keep the weight gain reasonable – I am not big to start with (51kg for 1.68m – probs more 53-54kgs now) and the extra weight kills my back so bad (I put on between 15-20 kgs for my girls) – so hope I will get pregnant soon! :D

LMSM-seriously lol at "kinky all month wife" 🤣

LMSM - Thank you! I don’t know if it’s a good level of hcg or It was just good fmu :) My youngest is still breastfeeding like it’s going outta style lol Since my hubs is back home he tries to keep him busy doing big boy things. Maybe when he sees and knows I am he will forget about it? Sorry this month wasn't your month, but I love the Kinky Wife Plan :)

Pbn3 My first day of my last af was May 28th. I know I;d be due in early March :) Last night, and now this afternoon I’m having some consistent mild cramps. I googled it it says from my ovulation day I’m suppose to have possible implantation yesterday, today, or tomorrow..

Thanks so much Lolabelle :) I wish I saved it for another day, because it kind of brought my mood down.

Ashfind - Thank you so much! I’m going to try and wait it out till maybe middle of the week to use another digital test. I hope I can hold out :)

LMSM, so sorry...I'm right there with you! And thank you for your kind words. Fingers crossed for next cycle!

Ash, how funny! I buy a lot of stuff off that site. I love matching monogrammed outfits [emoji12]

Ladies, my ob said to take clomid cd 5-7. Is that the best odds of conception, or 3-7?

Atomic says 3-7

Nacire-was it a cb digi? Maybe get a box of 2! Right after I posted asking when you were testing, I thought about mentioning-don't be surprised if you get a "not pregnant" this early. I know exactly what you mean about bringing you down b/c there's something about seeing those words that makes it feel real. In a day or 2 after you test again with the digi, I'm sure that mood is going to be turned around to celebration [emoji322]Testing with another wondfo in the AM? Can't wait to see!

Max do you mean 5-9? I asked my ob at the time about taking clomid 5-9 as opposed to taking 3-7 as I was worried about multiples and had read that 5-9 is supposed to increase quality and 3-7 quantity. She said she recommended 3-7 firstly because I was on a time frame age wise and 3-7 may release more than one egg but gave me better odds if conception and also there was no real proof that 5-9 increased egg quality. Also because I oed around cd14 was another reason for 3-7.

I'd definitely take it 3-7 as you're not opposed to twins right? Plus I don't think the risk of twins is actually that much greater to be honest. Higher - yes definitely, you are taking a drug that stimulates ovulation after all but overall I think the odds aren't that much greater to worry about. It'd have to be a decision you make. Can you ring your ob perhaps and ask his/her reasoning for choosing 5-9 over 3-7? Make ot clear you are wanting to conceive as quick as possible and see if they change it to 3-7? Just a thought?

Since I got scatterbrained and didn't do clomid until cd 4-8.. I don't do opks until cd 12?

Ok interesting! The RE said that clomid can't increase quality, just release more eggs so the probably that a better quality egg is released is just higher, if that makes sense. I'll call as soon as AF starts and confirm, but for sure want to try best odds so might go with 3-7.

Twins sounds scary to me right now, but as long as my body could carry them to term, I would do it. My frame is small and I never thought I would be able to do that...

Max-I remember reading somewhere too that Atomic recommends cd3-7 for odds of conception and 5-9 isn't that much less of a risk for multiples as she has seen it happen.

I believe in fate as well :) I too will definitely be limiting junk if I fall pregnant. I gained 65 pounds with my first, lost all but 20 after having her, then turned around and gained another 45 with my second. After having her, I kicked it in high gear and lost 100 pounds. I was so proud.. Then I found gender dreaming 18 months later and I feel like all my hard work was for nothing because now I'm gaining it back. I really hope that I will just be able to maintain weight for the majority of my pregnancy if I do get a Bfp. Some days I pray I don't get a Bfp this cycle because I want to improve my sway, but other days I pray I do get one because I don't know how much of the he diet I can take.

Sorry Mommy2apples I missed this! And yes correct! You can start cd11 if you like but just be aware if its dark-ish then it could be from the clomid but you'll get a better idea on cd12 (it may go lighter)

If it can give you any insight my RE gave me Clomid from Cd3-5 only so only 3 days and only 25mg (half a tab)– and that was plenty to get me ovulating – I O’d around Cd12 both times and was pregnant on 1st cycle both times after 18-22 months of ttc without success before that ( I did have a pregnancy when DD1 was just 11 m.o but miscarried so all my conceptions were Clomid successes bar that one which was natural but failed).
Just a note too, Clomid does tend to dry your CM out so plan to have Robitussin or the like on hand – and it may well make you O earlier than naturally so ensure you plan for that too :)
-

Lolabella - Yes it was a Clear Blue digi. It was a big mood killer for me, and it had me staring at the positive wondfo wondering if its just a fluke :( I will test again tomorrow with a wondfo fmu.

Nacire-don't let it get you down b/c that was a clear BFP & I really believe it was just too early for it to detect. See how your wondfo looks tomorr AM & def grab some more cb digis! If you're feeling up for it try again or wait until Tues for the digi b/c I believe you will be 10dpo-just a guess from your chart & what everyone is saying. It doesn't look like a fluke so fx!!!!!

Thanks so much Lolabelle :) You've been so helpful this cycle!

No way that's a fluke nacire. For reassurance why not do a two hour hold and use another wondfo. Expect the line to be lighter because its not fmu but maybe seeing a line again will give you some confidence :)

Nacire, second PBN – you definitely have hcg in your system, enough for the IC but enough for the digi to pick it up – a few hours longer and the levels could be high enough to be picked up by both – I understand that makes you feel down, after the excitement of the wondfo, but I think you can safely assume you are pregnant – it’s also very very early so a couple of days from now, all tests should start picking up the hcg – big hugs

Mummy2boys are you testing tomorrow?

LMSM, thank you for sharing that. Temp went down today, so sure I'll be starting clomid soon, and praying that it works for me like it did for you. Do you remember what your BD pattern was with your DDs? I'm worried that e4d won't cut it on clomid for me. I'm going to ask atomic about smep also. How do you use robittusin? Never heard of that for ttc! :)

LMSM - Thank you! Feeling normal now that clomid is finished. Hoping it's doing its magic.
Sorry it doesn't look like it's your month. xoxo

Maxim - I take clomid from Day 2-6

Nacire - I second doing another normal test for reassurance.

AFM - SOOOOOOO super tired today.....maybe my body is getting closer to O so it's draining me? Only 4 days of work to go and then 3 weeks of holidays! CAN NOT WAIT :)

Max I'll leave LMSM to explain robitussin (it can be used to increase cm) but just wanted to say make sure you are getting the one with the correct ingredient as some are mixed ingredients and there is a particular ingredient it needs to have :) cant remember its exact name, starts with a 'g'??

Iwant4kids I too am looking forward to school holidays!

Goodnight all :)

I can share my chart for DD2, as it's on FF (will do in the am)... but my chart for DD1 is via another website and can't remember the login for the life of me (and would like to see too lol). Am pretty sure the pattern was pretty similar to DD2 though. If I can login somehow will let you know :)
Will detail it all in the am :)
Sorry temp went down..looks like we will be new cycle buddies :)

Just 50, the lowest dose. Worked for DS1 first month and worked for me this year too (except blighted ovum).

Thanks Iwant4...fingers crossed tightly for you this cycle!!!

LMSM, thanks, looking forward to seeing the chart! And hoping that we can all join the DDG together next month! :)

@ttcblue dont worry I have gained a lot of weight too. My AF went missing for three months that's when I started doing my kettlebells more, and yoga and accupuncture. I even have inotisol, clomic imported from Spain and vitex or something. Havent used any but bought all of it just in case. Anyone here from London who would love to buy it from me? lol

Ok so I have got positives for ages now. We have been bd'ing a lot since I got it from day one. Today I went to the store and got myself clearblue pregnancy tests...one normal and one digital. The normal one showed this

Meoab-let me see if I have this straight....you have been getting a lot of positive OPKs along with pain in the abdomen & considered going to the ER? Did you end up going to the ER? You'll have to catch me up on your story, but do you have PCOS with the pain you're having which could cause false positives or does this mean you are preggo & celebrations are in order?!!!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

Only way she would know for sure right now is to go get betas done right?

Thank you, you're a sweetheart.. I think I just need to start working out more to get my positive mindset back, as I'm really slacking.

Meoab, this is definitely a positive! Are you worried that this is not accurate? I'm confused??

I have pco tendencies due to weight gain Atomic told me. Which put me off for months! Then in May my AF came back, which made me use the opk's for the first time. I had all negatuves till last week Saturday. That's when the positives came back to back and they got darker and darker each day. We bd'ed like crazy (5 times). So this must be a positive pregnancy test correct? I did not go to my gp because I felt like testing it myself at home first before going to my
gp.

We also bd'ed twice or three times at the end of May but that was a 1.5 week after my AF ended. My ovulations tests were all negative at that time. My only concern is how I can have a positive pregnancy test this early?

That's very much a positive.. a dark one at that.. you must have conceived sooner than you think!! Anyways yay!! So excited!!

BTW this is the first cycle we have been trying for real. I was very down the months before and never tested any opk nor did we bd much. Did not expect to get pregnant this cycle..I felt infertile for months lol.

Thanks mommy2apples. Planning to test it with the digital one for clear indication..I hope for a healthy baby (boy).

Nacire-how are you today? Thinking about you & wondering if you tested?
