Smarston- I hope the timing works out!!!
CD1 for me. I guess it was just wishful thinking to hope that I hadn't Od. What a terrible cycle. Oh well. Bummed that I'm now half a year out from the due date of the baby we miscarried and no longer have a chance for a 2015 baby. But nothing I can do about it.
I just realized that due to my ear infection I'll be on high doses of steroids (prednisolone) until CD10 or the 12th of April. Apparently it only takes 36 hrs for it to leave the body so hopefully this timing works out to not affect O! But since O doesn't normally come for me until CD25+ I guess I'm not going to worry and just hope that being so sick sways girl but that I still O and can get pregnant this cycle!
Sorry junie. What a bummer and a hard time for you
No BD last night. Think we'll do tonight instead. It should -2 before expected O if my body is working normally. I took an OPK yesterday just for fun and it was very faint. Hopefully, today's will be darker and make me feel better about our attempt tonight

Can I finally join here??! FF gave me crosshairs after I marked two temps questionable as I was sick (one was ridiculously high, and the other one was the higher-ish one the day after that one). I'm not sure what I think - I thought maybe CD39, but I think that I at least definitely see an upward motion? Just figured I'd get an expert opinion from all of you ladies and whether you think I actually did O, too!
I think you probably just Oed 2 days ago on CD44; CD39 is possible but not likely IMO especially in light of last cygke's post O temps. Fx for you and nice to see you posting again!
Anyone have any good stories about using an hcg trigger shot? I'm CD5 now and I'll be getting scanned next Weds, on cd11. I'm really hoping the dr will say everything looks fine - lining good, an egg or to growing nicely - and that we'll just do a trigger to be on the safe side.
I'm basically hoping to avoid Clomid because I'm swaying blue. I have been doing a very good sway and I am the OPPOSITE kind of environment from when I conceived DD - but my mc last dec had complications and my cycle stopped completely until last week. O'ing without clomid would be VERY LUCKY - but since you pink swayers use it as a pink sway tactic, I was definitely going to hope for the best at least for one month. Anyway - anyone have a good word to say about hcg triggers, I'd be grateful to hear it.
Junie - I feel like we've been in this for a while. I SO SO want you to get your bfp this cycle. Purple, Taytum - I've been following your stories too and I'm really rooting for you. Maiden, I'm also v much rooting for you and also very impressed by your knowledge!
I also wondered that as well, Maiden! I feel like I actually did have some EWCM the other night, but didn't know if it was because of BDing (although it was much "thicker" than normal post BDing EWCM). I'm only going to temp for a few more days and if I can see an actual temp shift and feel confident in it then I'm going to stop temping. I've kind of been more relaxed as I've had a job interview this week so been focused on that and not TTC. It's been nice to not analyze that stupid temp every morning!
tm29 - still love that pic. :) I was concerned about having to start Clomid too if I didn't start O'ing at a decent time (if May comes and not much improvement I will go to the doctor for some more support) but Maiden & Atomic told me that pink swayers use Clomid with the diet/exercise and everything else. But, if you use Clomid with some sort of lubrication/boy diet/exercise, you still have a good shot at swaying blue. I was worried about it as well. I'll be following along with you!
Taytum- Great to see you here again! I agree with Maiden on the CD44 as potential O date.
TM29- I don't know anything about triggers but I do know I've got everything crossed that you get pregnant this cycle!!! With a bouncing healthy baby boy :)
Taytum - I am really with you re Clomid. It's obviously right - as Atomic and Maiden say - that the results for Clomid are clomid+pink sways. But I feel like it is definitely not a plus however you look at it. I want to try this one month without and if I don't O on my own, then I will take it next month. Sounds like you'll do the same? I wish I could forget my worries about clomid, I really do. I was pg last time with it (before my mc) and it worked like a charm - first month! But I was really worried all 3 months of my pregnancy that I had taken it.
I would love someone to tell me I have ZERO need to feel Clomid is an issue - but they can't. Obviously. Ugh!
JUNIE - you are lovely. Thank you.
FWIW, my neighbor had to have Clomid twice and has two boys. I think diet, type of exercise, and how many attempts in your fertile window sway more strongly than anything.
FX for you and GL!

What is the safest antibiotic to take during the 2WW for a UTI? I'm looking at my pill bottle prescribed by doc that says not to take during pregnancy.
I love this story XX. Thanks.
I don't think you can take anything. I had cystitis and was told to drink water and take a pregnancy-friendly pain-killer if the pain was really bad. Not great! But if you have something worse than cystitis then perhaps there are other options.Quote:

There have been a number if failed pink sways on Clomid too, so if they can still get boys you have an even better shot.
Taytum, any semen that drips out after 15 minutes is liquefied, so thick stuff is all you. Good luck with the interview!
fefecooks, as both a pharmacist and long time sufferer if frequent UTIs, I recommend Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin), a category B drug. You definitely want to treat that UTI with antibiotics rather than risk a more serious infection that could spread to the kidneys.
It's just cystitis based on symptoms. I was reading that folic acid could be the culprit.
So happy to see my team blue buddies back! Love you tm and Taytum!
I am wondering if my odd temps are because I stopped the wheatgrass? I ordered some more today. I was also reading in "The Infertility Cure" book which xx recommended awhile ago that a sawtooth up and down temp pattern relates to stagnant liver qi, a pattern often associated with stress, and that totally adds up. Also, the uterus and eyes are both on the liver meridian, and I've had a sty lately. So I'm trying some of the things the book suggests for that condition, and I'll see what my acupuncturist says next week.
I really think I'm out this cycle, but I did have wacky temps the cycle I conceived the m/c, although I always thought that was from sleeping poorly with the Lyme.
So good to see you guys and be back! We'll get those blue beans soon Sage & tm! <3
fefecooks: did you tell your doc that you're TTC? If not, you could try calling back and letting them know if you're worried about it. I hope you get to feeling better - UTIs really suck. :(
tm: I agree with XX! I was just talking to the girl who does my nails and she said that with her second boy she was on Clomid because she wasn't O'ing. I know how scared you are - I share the same fears! But I have confidence that the rest of our sways are pretty solid and we've been working on them for a while now that the Clomid will be far less of a pink sway.
Maiden: Good to know! I feel the same thing happened to me last time I O'd too - I had some EWCM, but I wasn't sure if it was from BDing or not. Maybe one good day of EWCM (on the day that I O) will do the trick! :) What are your thoughts on your chart this month? I apologize I didn't read through all of the old posts, but I feel like your chart looks awesome this month! Has a great upward motion!
Sage: What are you on the wheatgrass for? It kind of looks like the seesawing is getting a little smaller the last few temps? Hopefully it evens itself out soon! We got some blue babies to make!
I told her that we baby danced 2 days before the appointment so maybe it slipped her mind? They were out today so I'll have to wait until Monday.
My first son was conceived with clomid :) I didn't know anything about swaying then and we were just trying our best to get pregnant and it resulted in a very boy friendly attempt. Out of people I personally know who have used clomid more have boys but they also weren't swaying.
Taytum, if you click on my chart link you can see the past year plus of my charts...and I truly think this month's is one of the ugliest and strangest charts I've ever has! That super low temp at 4DPO is crazy low for me, I've never had anything like that. And Oing on the day of my lowest temp and a much lower than usual lowest temp is weird too. I've been having a few symptoms the past few days, which normally I don't have unless I'm on Vitex or have a cyst. But I have elements of both together that I haven't had separately.
I had seriously no appetite for 2 weeks leading up to O and had to force feed myself. Amazingly I still gained weight as I had wanted to do, since I was worried I was too thin. Then pretty suddenly since yesterday or late Wed night I've been hungry again. A frequent and urgent sort of hunger. But I know I shouldn't read into all these things as it will only get my hopes up. And then I'll be extra crushed.
fefecooks, did you see my post above about antibiotics? You posted when I did so maybe you missed it.
I am Xing everything and [emoji120] for you Maiden!!!

That's the first thing I noticed when I clicked on your chart, Maiden - the big 4dpo dip! That immediately stuck out to me. They do say sometimes the ugliest charts are the BFPs. [emoji4] what are some of the symptoms you normally have with Vitex/cyst? I have everything crossed for you!

Thanks Taytum and Purple - so good to hear that. And thanks Maiden - great to add the thought that I might respond that way. You never know. And of course I will be using preseed. Taytum, it's nice to share this aspect of the journey with you. I get it!
Wow, I REALLY hope the trigger shot is enough this cycle. I won't kick myself for wasting the time if it isn't enough and I do need clomid next cycle because I did want to try ONCE without it. But I am really glad to hear the boy/clomid stories and I'm storing them up just in case I need them, which I probably will. Off I go for acupuncture now. I'm doing everything I can. My house is full of dumbells! But I am so miserable with all the weight and muscle I've gained I do just want this to end.
I really hope it works for all three of you this cycle. I've never charted - fascinating to hear you analyse the data.
Tm-hope you have good timing
Maiden--hope the funky chart means BFP.
So, we BDed last night and I think I have EWCM this morning. Any need to take an antihistamine now?

No. I would wait and see what your CM is like around your next attempt, if you are doing BDing every four days.Quote:

Thanks XX. Very interested to find out when I O. Poor DH thinks we're in the 2ww now...I can't wait for your ultrasound!!! And how is your morning sickness? With a beta like that, I would be able to move

Taytum, I have sore nips and tender breast which normally I only get on Vitex, and very late on 5DPO/very early on 6DPO I had brief but intense sharp cramps in my uterus. Milder uterine cramping on and off since then. Usually cramping means I'm out, but the brief sharp cramps are new. So as you can see I'm reading into everything!
I did actually test with a Sure Predict yesterday to get a baseline, check for evaps. Stark white. But I will try again today at 7DPO.
Since looking more at your chart Taytum I wonder if you did O on CD39...thrn I'd be just a day behind you.
smarston, atomic says to only take antihistamines right before BD.
Morning sickness was off and on and mild, now it is much stronger and eating doesn't help :/.Quote:

TaytumJ - I think you Oed on CD39. FX for you!!!
Maiden- that may be too early to test. I have good feelings about this cycle! You're chart is crazy looking, but I think you're super low pre-o temps made for a great egg!
[emoji120]for you ladies!

Tm - I hope the trigger shot is enough for you as well! I'll be following along with you for sure. Just have faith that once that egg pops your body knows what to do with it. [emoji6] and your sway sounds so much better than mine - I do weights 3x a week when I can and snack, but haven't been diligent on gaining the weight for the sway. So I'd say you've got a good thing going!
XX - how far along are you now? I took a break from GD not to drive myself crazy and I hate that I missed some of the things you guys are going through. So excited for you though!
Maiden - those are promising symptoms though! I remember my nipples were so sore before the chemical. FX for you for sure; can't wait to follow along!
Good luck to everyone else getting ready to O!
I had another dip today. [emoji15] never know what to think any more. I agree - I think CD39 was the magic day as well. Last night lots of lower back pain, but no AF yet either. Will keep on keeping on! I think since I've basically just tried to keep up with 2-3 day BD and knowing if nothing come May we'll look at other options I'm just doing what I can right now. Maybe just a big implantation dip [emoji6] haha #wishfulthinking

Yeah for sure 7DPO is very if not too early to test. BFN again today. But since I have 20 of these SP tests and it's my last cycle for a while I figure what the hell. I know I probably won't get an early BFP even if I am pregnant bc of my hypermetabolism.1 I wouldn't have started testing quite so early but that weird cramping 2 days ago seemed like it could maybe be implantation plus my other symptoms.
I have some cavities I really need filled...one has been super sensitive since yesterday. I can read pregnancy into ANYTHING! I'm hungry and food tastes good, hey maybe it's a sign. Truly I become a crazy persom after O.
Taytum, considering the recent low temps it's possible you are just gearing up to O now. I'd BD and OPK just in case.
Oh maiden!! I hope this is it for you!

I'm going nuts having to wait to test here.. i had yellow cm when i wiped this morning and i never get that.. two more days to test!
According to my O dates, I'm either 5 weeks 2 days or 5 weeks 5 days. The OB thinks I'm further along, or am having more than one, because of my high Beta HCG levels. I have a scan on Wednesday. I think I am having just one and my dates are spot on. DS1 and DS2 were always measuring two weeks ahead and my OB said I just have a "ripe" womb. Whatever that means!
I'm hoping to see you ladies get your BFPs soon! Don't give up and keep trying! Lord knows it is hard, but I believe it will happen for you! If it can happen for me (I needed a miracle with my dismal numbers!) it WILL happen for all of you [emoji8]!

Oh my goodness, I was just going to ask if you've tested again. What day are you now?Quote:
