I cheated way more in the tww. It's hard bc progesterone tends to make you hungrier... But compare your old diet to your current one; even in the tww... Is it still way better?

I think after a few months many of us loosen up on our ways, and fall pregnant. If you can't handle the disappointment of AF coming you might want to consider either adding an attempt or improving fertility a little with a little more protien and fat (before the tww).

That being said 3attempts really isn't too bad. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah I maybe want to do that, just eat more protein and fat the next round. I am 31 years old, I know 3 attempts isn't that bad and many members are swaying much much longer, but I conceived my boys both in 1 month trying, I even 'planned' the last one so I had an extra long maternity leave!! I thought becoming pregnant was very easy and found it very logically it succededjust how I wanted it to. Can't believe how arrogant I was back then!! But so 5 months and 3 attempts just feels very long for me as I am very impatienced.

Same thing happened to me with my last dd. she took soooo long to conceive that now I'm paranoid and convinced it's going to take a long time again. I'm just trying to stay positive that this month with be ours!! Good luck to you.

I totally get you. allll my boys were OSW, first attempts... The diet for sure makes it harder to conceive. The reason I asked you age is I know as you get older docs are more willing to start helping out with fertility issues at 6 months rather than 2 year. Im 39, and despite not having any significant issues I still used it to my advantage to get in sooner... I maybe stretched the truth a little about the length of time we were trying :)

Welcome!! Wow I understand these feelings so much, I want a DD so bad but I'm having trouble just getting pregnant this time I'm low in iron and have to take iron tablets and eat more steak so lots of blue, my FS also wants me dtd more then once. I've been trying for 6-7 months now so I'm just getting desperate to fall pregnant and my sway has gone out the window.

Good luck!!!

We ended up not doing IUI either and just did TI. My husband hates the IUI process.

1dpo today and I'm super crampy.
Anyone know if this is normal?

My follies where 21 and 17mm both on my right side I had my trigger shot last night. So will start the tww on the weekend.

Not overly hopeful with my lining. I think she said it was around 6mm anyone know much about lining?

We would of done IUI but with my lining my FS said it might be a waste of money.

Hmm crampy maybe more ovulation pains!? Not sure. Good luck

I hope you all get your bfps quickly and can be done with this. Dh is not into any fertility treatments this time so let's hope it happens fast!!

We are doing SMEP this month so hopefully that helps.

My update is blood work came back with my hcg down to 59 - so I am getting there...I'm pretty sure it has to be 0 or 1 before I will stop getting faint positives on hpt's and before I can start to gear up for the next ovulation. My progesterone was 0.7 and my E2 is at 187. I will test again next Wed. Fingers crossed I see 0!!!

Fingers crossed but not my legs lol [emoji23]

Magical I found this comment on another forum http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...359b140eae.jpg

So 6mm seems fine to sustain a pregnancy - fx for you!!

Thank you, that's some positive news [emoji5]️

I guess my lining has a few more days to thicken up before implantation. Will still try and just see how it goes


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those are good size follies.
Your lining is close to what it should be.
So If you don't mind me asking what is your bd schedule as far a trigger shot goes?

Does this make sense, I have already put in dtd for tonight and tomorrow night the (27/28) (it's Thursday morning here now)

H is the trigger shot which I took 7.30pm Wednesday night

Yes it makes sense.
Those are good attempts and have yourself covered.

Hi Ladies

Just have a quick question. Im cd2 so far af has been lighter than normal, would you expect this with only a 24 day cycle? I was due on Sunday for af so im not sure if its going to 'pick up' or just be lighter this time.

It's so hard to say it would just be a waiting game this week I think. But I did read somewhere that there is nothing wrong with a light period your body will get rid of what it needs too and that will differ month to month

Thanks Magical.

Not sure when to start testing with opks mught just go by my expected O time

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

FX ladies!!! I'm cheering for you magical!!! :)

Praying for a sticky 🎀 bean!

Question time again 😂

Just signed up with ff and entering details of my last few cycles. In July I had a luteal phase of 12 (we weren't ttc that month but i used an opk just to see) and this months LP is 10. Im unaware if this has been an issue in the past as i have never used opks before. I just assumed it was 14 days like everyone else. Anyone else have this issue and is there a reason for it/can it be improved or fixed? I am 6 months post partum so im not sure if this could be a reason why also

Thanks ladies

Anyone on here have experience with vaginal progesterone?
I'm supposed to use it starting tonight and I'm clueless


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Netti my af this cycle has been quite light compared to normal to. I wouldn't stress on it :) I would start using opks at cd6 or 7 if last cycle was 24 days then you are covered if you o early as in you won't miss the surge. I know its hard to relax but if you can just go with whatever happens it will be easier on you mentally. I've nearly pulled my hair out wondering whats going on with my cycles but this month I'm thinking "whatever" in a way lol. Just going to use opks do one attempt at pos opk and hope for the best. I'm just so sick of analyzing my ever changing cycle that I'm really happy being quite blase and laid back this time :) hoping it'll do the trick :)

oh and in relation to lt phase I'd see what it is this cycle and go from there (which fx you wont have to as you'll have a bfp!)

It's not much fun Healthygirl! Lol... I used Crinone for a few days when doing my HT cycle. Are you using Crinone or something else?

Thanks pbn. I was just shocked more than not having a bfp lol. My cycles have been abit all over the place since my youngest was born in Feb.

I have 5 opks left looks like i will need to invest do you know a brand that is reasonably priced or where i can get them. So far ive been using first response and i think the kit is about $27 but thats with 7 opks and 1 hpts

Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess

Wow that's expensive! I got the same first response 7pk opk plus hpt test last cycle for $14 on special at woolies. Think they are normally around $17? I know they are dearer but I'm using the cb dual digital again this cycle - picked up at chemist warehouse for $40. You get 10 opk test sticks and I have found them fantastic! Seemed to have issues getting a pos opk on dip tests that's why I started using digi.

Wow what a price difference. I think that was from the pharmacy but i will check out woolies and coles too. Hopefully we don't need them for long lol

I had a short Lp too, and that was with Clomid... Then I had a normal month.

Also I went into my 3rd and final month with 6 OPKS lol! I decided not to buy more and just tested at a sane time of the month (instead of peeing on stick after stick on the days they were Tyl silly stark white). Made it less stressful!

I wouldn't be too concerned over a LP of 10/12 days, apparently anything from 10-14 is normal but if it's less than 10 days it could be an issue.

I haven't charted a great deal in the past, only prior to my last bub and FF tells me my average LP is 10 days and I have had no problems :)

Hi netti, I'm just butting in to let you know I get my opk's from pregnancyshop.com.au. I get the cheapies and I've had no problem with them. 25 for $12.50 or 50 for $22.50. They deliver really quickly too ��.

Thanks jvp will check it out

Officially CD 1 so moving over here. Called to schedule my follicle study and I was told this time I'll have to pay up front since my ins doesn't pay for it, so no follicle study this time :( Definitely going to make sure I have the money next cycle if I don't get a BFP this cycle though. Hopefully that won't be an issue but we shall see. Praying for another early O like last cycle. Going to crush my pills again since that seemed to obviously make a difference. DH has been pushing for more attempts (he wants to do EOD like the doc suggests) so we compromised with E4D with an extra attempt at +OPK this cycle. Hoping that is enough because he isn't thrilled about it as is but agreed to do it one more cycle. I think if this cycle is a bust he is going to want to go full-throttle and my sway isn't very strong to begin with... that could completely destroy it.

:fx: for all of us. Hopefully we can get another BFP boom like last month!!

Because of some tummy issues I have I have issues absorbing nutrients, meds, etc. So, I talked to the pharmacist after the first cycle didn't seem to have any affect on O and they recommended crushing it to make it a bit easier for my body to absorb. So each day that I take it I crush my pill, put it in some applesauce and take it that way. Cycle 1 and cycle 2 were night and day so obviously it worked better crushed for me than whole. So I am going to continue to crush them. No point in taking them if I am not absorbing enough of it to make a difference, kwim?

What is it that you're taking? Sorry for all the questions... So far I've been the only one taking the Vitex and SP... So I've been wondering if anyone else was.

Yes, it sways pink but it's not necessary for a pink sway. You can do one w/o clomid. Clomid just replaces a few other sway elements, like rephresh, vitex, SP and such. I take it to O sooner and hopefully improve egg quality (doc says it could, atomic says it doesn't :shrug: ) Swaying is just a bonus for me with regard to clomid, though there are some who take it just for swaying.
