None for me, Mrs. P! Starting to feel a little left behind, though. I want all of us here in the 2ww to graduate to the due date groups soon. Makes it worse that my IRL friend who knew I was trying for 3 months when she got an on-birth-control bfp is now 12 weeks along and having a girl. And here I am still, in the 2ww, again. :sad:
Positive thinking, positive thinking, positive thinking.
Oh craving i really hope its your month to, i was so gutted when beachy and 3men and everyone else joined their due date and i'd missed the boat - really hope you join us - 3 months gap will be nothing to you and your friend once their here, chin up i hope this month is your month x
Thanks, Mrs. P. You're awesome. :bighug: But I really shouldn't complain I guess. Six months isn't much in comparison to some.Quote:

I'm with you craving, I just looked it up and this is cycle 5. I may have his swimmers checked after the 6th!
6DPO nothing to report but still a backache. I got a horrible phone call from my RE yesterday and she said my AMH has dropped to .08. If this cycle doesn't work then I am onto IVF next cycle. I just pray to God it works.
Praying for us all...come on BFPs!!
Me, too! We did that 5 years ago and he was fine but I know things can change. In January his insurance with his new job will kick in so he'll be off to give a sample. Then I'll be off to do a hsg- I got pregnant with ds1 one month after having it done last time. It pushed a little mucous plug through and opened up a tube. Who woulda thought a tubal booger would make me take 14 months to conceive! :oops:Quote:

Aha, just curious. I think my doc will just be like "um, no." I think my issue is with tubes/poor cm/low sperm count. Two of those three sway girl, so when I finally got it at least I'll have had my best shot.Quote:

My temp took a nosedive this morning. I'm getting frustrated.
Thanks, Kraizy! I got excited thinking my temps are never that high but I looked back a couple of years and they were when I was first ttc ds1 and they always fell of a cliff at the end. Trying not to get my hopes up.
Boysmom, I'm so sorry. I really hope the witch stays away but it never feels good to have a drop like that. Sometimes this whole thing feels like a lottery we keep losing. :hugs: Were you serious about having hubby's spermies checked if this cycle goes bust?
hey i'm month 6 too just don't even think it'll happen anymore thou!Quote:

I am sorry Boys mom. If you feel like something is up get checked. I conceived twice on one shot deals, and now I am doing IVF, after 21 cycles. Don't waste time. Go with your gut
Whoa! Boysmom, Kraizy...I spy temp rises...yay!
Well, we've got a slight backache, sore bbs, and a dream that I had a girl with curly blonde hair. Can't wait to find out!
Yeah not sure what's going on but bbs got super sore yesterday and today, when I took my bra off omg it was like they were full of rocks. Sper tired today. Took a 20 ,imute nap and then again later and dh put boys to bed. Taking a bath and then I think I'm going back to bed, just dragging! Still bfn so I'm not holding out too much hope.Quote:

BoyMom!! You've got some great signs going there, girl!! I'm crossing fingers and toes for you!! :) I've been digging through the charts on FF and lots of ladies get late BFPs...don't count yourself out yet!!
I'm pretty sure I'm out. I did a test 10dpo and a BFN, going to test tomorrow, but my temps are making their steady decline. Although it has gotten cold here and my DH (and I use the word DARLING VERY LOOSELY!!! LOL) has been stealing all the covers!! At least I know that if this isn't it, I have a plan in place with the RE - that does make me feel much better.
Krazy, crossing fingers and toes for you, too!!
Good luck ladies!! XOXO
I girls, can I join you?
I'm currently 6DPO second cycle after our miscarriage in Sept.
Really hoping this is it.
Hi Ruby and SM! Welcome to the 2ww.
Boysmom and Beadin- sorry you girls aren't feeling hopeful. Honestly I'm not either. I've got a stack of bfn's from prior months weighing on me and don't think I'm testing early this time. Which probably means i'm not testing at all. I've talked it over with dh and I'm now off the diet, have started vitamins and everything. We decided that whatever gender we got, if they had any issues like ds1 (moderate-high functioning autistic) I don't want to have done anything that I can blame myself for- that means getting my body in optimum health, so I'm actually probably swaying boy at this point. :worry: But that's the decision for us.
Has anyone heard from Violet after her blood test? I guess she is on vacation so maybe we won't hear from her for a little bit.
Craving, I understand completely...
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I actually gave up any sway tactics I was using...at this point, I just really want a baby. Looks like I should be starting AF Sunday, so by Mon I'll be scheduling more tests. Just really hoping it works.
Thinking of you!!! XO
well my temp is up, but now I see some tint to my creamy white CM. It's not a drop, just enough to turn my toilet paper off white. Maybe implantation but looking at my other charts I have had this before and a couple days later my AF starts, so I think AF is on her way.
Still have my fingers crossed for you Kraizy! Tint could be anything, even just increased creamy cm. I had a pinprick of red on my tp just now but wiped again and couldn't get anymore. I posted several months back about the same thing and got my hopes up and AF crashed the party anyway so not reading much into mine.
Beadin- thanks for the support. And good luck with your testing. I just know you will have another bundle to call your own again, maybe even a pink one. We've all got a 50/50 anyway, right?
On ditching the diet- I know I'll be green with envy with the girls who stick to it and get their gd, there's no telling whether it would've been me or not, so going for optimum health now, which of course flies in the face of declining maternal condition. You know how we all say "as long as it's healthy"? I'm having to put my money where my mouth is.
(As a sidenote, I do NOT think the LE diet is unhealthy if followed properly - Atomic clearly advises to stay within healthy limits but I know that I can get obsessive and go too far with it. This is just a personal choice for me that I will get myself in the best shape possible because I don't know what caused DS's autism- and if a nutrient deficiency could be even partly to blame I have to be proactive about that).
Thanks cravingsalt! I really appreciate the support! Your chart looks great as well!!
Kraizy, I would love nothing more than for you to start us another round of bfp's! Are testing early this time around or being good and waiting?
craving, there were a few of us who did NOT follow the diet super strictly and still got girls. I did follow the diet, but I did have days where I cheated by going over fat/protein, but overall my trend was lower fat/protein/cals than my body was used to, it was not a drastic drop because I just could not starve myself (I'm not saying the LE diet you have to 'starve' yourself) but to follow the diet super strict would have been very difficult for me, at least. Butterfly spirit did not really do much of a diet at all (If I recall from reading her sway) and we both got girls. I do believe diet can help, but of course nothing is set in stone. I've seen awesome boy sways (with using stuff that helped me get boys!) and sometimes the boy swayers still get girls, so I truly believe swaying can help, but I definitely think you can of course get a girl without it too. My mom had 3 girls and 1 boy and she swears she was doing nothing different with any of us, but yet she did get 1 opposite--my brother.
I am so praying and hoping that all you ladies who have been TTC'ing for a while do get blessed with bundles. I would love nothing better than to see all of you ladies who want girls pregnant with girls after this long battle, and vice versa if anyone wants a boy. :hugs:
Thank you for the encouragement, Auroara...everytime I see your avatar pic it inspires me. :heart:Quote:

One of these days I'll have another one to chase after, I'm going to try and enjoy every day that we're not outnumbered until then. Now if only I can remind myself of that every day, and every time I get a bfn. I love these boards, but sometimes I think they feed the obsessor within!
so far my thought is not to test, so we will see if I can hold to it.Quote:

Fingers crossed for a good month of bfp's
Thanks Mrs. P!!! XOXO
Thanks, Mrs. P...remind me, you got your bfp at like 16dpo, is that right? Did you test before that? I think I remember yes...
yep i did bfn (stark white 13) not even a faint line til 16dpo, even then it was very questionable and me and dh debated over whether we could see anything and i have a 10 day lp - didn't get a proper line (which was still faint) til 17dpo and thats when i posted it
Wow, that puts it in perspective. So at 10dpo you had enough hcg that your lining didn't start shedding, but it took 6 days to show up on hpt...that's encouraging. I read somewhere about that, that it takes only minute levels of hcg to keep your period from starting, much less than what a pg test needs to show positive. Interestiiing. :think:Quote:
