Sharon, I'm sure the sway is messing up your cycles, though earlier O is good! I hope things settle down this cycle, and I'm glad you dropped the B6. What CD are you on now? Any signs of imminent O?

I am just concerned that I did sway for my dd and given am not at that weight, don't think I would ever get to that weight again, I have lost 6 stone since last April! It is just so hard to know, before I came to this site I just assumed I was lucky I got dd, I also assumed that I would have a second, now I realise that I definitely lived a blue sway lifestyle when I conceived both boys! Hope the changes I have made or enough! X
maiden i actually had some signs the previous few days, none now tho as my cm has went creamy/sticky. Its all a guessing game really tho isnt it because i dont temp so dont actually know if i have even ovd at all each month. I dont get strong ov cramps or anything tho, i usually just go by opks going strong positive and the lots of ewcm which goes creamy the day after i think i ov.
I didnt realise the b6 swayed pink until atomic told me to drop it, is the bcomplex not reccomended either ?
Girlieplease yes you were defo a very very pink sway lifestyle when you conceived your dd, so guessing your going to have to replicate that lifestyle as much as possible!
Thank you! I'm only having the scan so early because the RE wants to make sure that my losses haven't been because of baby implanting in the wrong spot. Plus I just need the reassurance as soon as I can get it. If all goes well, I'll be switching from the RE to either an OB or midwife.Quote:

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't give it your all, just saying you don't know that you are that set for blue. Plus our bodies change over time, especially with multiple pregnancies. Anything you can do to sway pink will help!
Sharon, yes B6 and B vitsmins in general sway blue.
The RE called today since they just got my results from my +OPK bloodwork on Friday ( I can see it before them). They were really happy with my numbers, I was surprised they said that. So I asked about the Estradiol only being 137 and they said that they see low Estradiol numbers with Femara all the time and it's totally normal/fine. They said if I was on Clomid then that number would be too low and would need to be closer to 200. So I guess I'm not totally out this cycle after all. :) I go Friday for a Progesterone Level check, fingers crossed it's a good number and I don't have to have the supplement issue arise.
goodluck pinkin2011
thanks maiden, its nuts how much we really put our bodies off conceiving when swaying pink! Ive never had 2 'try' before so this is new (+ worrying) to me
Goodluck for your scan ksmom
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back :)
Ksmom cant wait for your update after scan!!
Good news on your results tfahn! Hope your prog comes back a nice number!
Sharon I've had almost positive opks as early as cd6 (in the past when I was a crazy tester lol) that faded right out then came back later a true positive (usually between cd11-13). Hope this happens for you, keep us updated! Oh and I've also had watery cm around cd8/9 that would turn creamy before turning fertile again.

Thanx pbn that keeps me hopeful that O has still to come, makes it hard tring to time bding around irregular cycles doesnt it. Meant to be doing E4D but doing alot of crazy shifts in work this week so itl be just when i can basicly but not more often than the 4 days unless my opk turns positive suddenly then ill just make sure we bd that night. Was really hoping to have hallen pregnant this month or next at latest :/
So today is cd7, I think the plan for the next couple month is just to see what happens. We will bd e2d using sperm meets egg plan and I am not even going to do opks this month just going to follow bd plan and listen to my body instead of stressing out. Taking 4mg of folic acid, but dropping baby aspirin, the Ob told me to take that much folic acid and to take baby aspirin but last BFP cycle I stopped taking it and got my BFP, though I understand he wants me to take it to reduce miscarriage possibility. I'm just trying to relax.
Signingmommy are you doing the actual SMEP or e2d cycle long? I'm only asking as you mentioned your not using opks and my understanding of smep is e2d from cd8 then dtd three days in a row at pos opk, skip a day then bd the following. What is it about opks that's stressful for you? Sorry I don't mean to sound so blunt with my questions. I just thought one of the main concepts of smep was that 3 day period at pos opk and even though I *think I know my own body and when its fertile/ovulating it often turns out not to be and the science (as in opks/temping) backs it up. I'm wondering if there is a less stressful opk you can try. Sorry again, I'm not trying to be a downer on your plan as I think its great!

Is cd18 or cd19 considered late? That is my usual with clomid.Quote:

Who knows , my cycles have never been so mucked up. Im starting to feel angry at myself for even starting this swaying ...
okay sorry took me this long to work out how to upload pics Attachment 31054
but heres cd 10 5 mins after i took itAttachment 31056
and cd 12 ... still not quite +ve is it ? Attachment 31057
sorry for spaming the thread with loads of pics, no more i promise haha. I usually get very strong +ve opks like so strong they steal all the colour from the control line! And none yet this cycle and im on cd13 :( Not feeling very optimistic this month yet again
Purple, technically CD17 or later is considered 'late' but different drs can have very different stances on what is considered late. I personally think you should be Oing before CD17 on Clomid, especially as you have PCOS tendencies as I recall. Did you see my comments on triggers earlier?
Sharon, I don't see a pic...
I had a big temp drop today. Yesterday when I temped my thermometer made a strange fast beeping sound which I think indicates critically low battery (digital therms always flash low batt for me, even with fresh batteries just put in). Then this morning I temped, got a very low temp (97.78, so just below cover line), temped again and got a slightly lower temp, then put in a new battery and got 98.2, which is still very low for me at 6dpo but a lot more reasonable. But since very early this am I've had a weird lower backache that almost feels like mild AF cramping, and just a half hour ago I started getting some sharp, shooting pains in what feels like my left ovary region, though I think I Oed from the right this cycle. I often get these intense ovarian likepains starting a few days before AF so combined with the almost cramps and big temp drop I think AF is going to come soon again, like last cycle if not earlier. I haven't had an 8 day LP in 6 months and I usually have a couple per year...so I'm due for one.

Maiden I hope temp dip this time doesn't mean af is immenent.
Sharon none of those opks in first pic (inc cd9) are positive IMO. You last pic is getting closer, I wouldn't be surprised if its a positive tomorrow or next day! Let us know how it goes and post all the pics you like that's what we are all here for :)
Edited to add: As an afterthought do you have pcos? This picture of lines like that on opks is ringing a memory from ages ago and I think at the time it was asked if the person had pcos? Sorry I hope I'm not throwing more confusion in here but this feels like dejavu iykwim :)
Edited again to add ignore the above. Someone else (possibly with pcos) would have said something by now. Hope I haven't caused any confusion and hope your opk is pos next couple days! :)

Quick question do you use the same brand opks every cycle? Edited the last post after asking this.
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
Purple, I'm sure doctor's opinions vary on this but my RE doesn't consider O to be late until CD21. My Feb. cycle I O'ed on cd17 and while it wasn't considered late, the only problem with it was it skewed my cd21 progesterone results. I think if you're O'ing around cd18 with Clomid and that's still earlier than when you'd O on your own, then I think it's fine.
Signingmommy, SMEP sounds like a great plan! Best of luck and baby dust!
Sharon, not quite positive yet but getting close!
Maiden I hope you're wrong and it's not AF on her way!
Sharon - none of those look pos to me. Hope they will be soon!
Maiden that's interesting about short LP. I had a pos opk a week after I had mirena out and then I had spotting for three-ish days just over a week after the pos opk. I usually never have spotting. I wonder if it was short LP and light period. That would mean I'm about cycle day 7 now. Interesting.

Inforthree, does that mean you'd be 14dpo now if the spotting WASN'T AF? I wonder if maybe you never actually Oed and the spotting was breakthrough bleeding. But very light AFs after the Mirena are common too.
Sharon, it looks like you are still aways off from a pos OPK, though they can turn dark very suddenly. This cycle I had a light line that stayed the same for a week then BAM suddenly turned blaring positive the next day, and faded out a lot by the following day.
Yep that's the other possibility. I should have added I don't feel like AF is coming and BFN. I agree, maybe I never actually oed. I've been doing opks throughout and haven't had a second surge. Only time will tell! It's very strange for me to have spotting or breakthrough bleeds.
Sorry you think AF is on the way! Glad you're back, your comments are very helpful!

I had my scan done and updated over in the pregnancy talk section under my post "freaking out" lol (I was spotting yesterday).
TONS of baby dust to all you ladies!!! This has been such an amazing, supportive group! :hugs:
Sharon-- none of those are positive yet, but looks like it's getting close. I've definitely had super negatives one day, then blaring positives (test line darker than the control) the next day. What times are you testing? I usually do around 2pm and before bed when the lines are getting close to positive.
This is my 5th cycle of clomid. I have read a little about famera and i am going to my dr today to see if i can try that instead of clomid.
Will famera harm my girl sway??
Thanks. He has told me that even my usual O time of cd30 isn't a problem other than it reducing the number of attempts I can get in. I'm not convinced as my last 2 conceived on cd30 were miscarriages but I will trust he knows what he is talking about. He is very experienced in fertility.Quote:

I'm actually curious to see if the metformin clomid combo makes a difference. Last time I stated metformin and took clomid cd6 to 10 and ovulated cd18. The 2 times I took it cd5 to 9 I ovulated cd19.
Pinkin pretty sure femara still sways pink. Maiden knows more about this though so maybe see what she says? Or start a thread and ask atomic :)Quote:

Pinkin, Femara is great for pink. It may even be pinker than Clomid.
Purple, I didn't realise you were taking Clomid so late. I really think you should be taking it no later than CD3-7.
Hi everyone! I've been stalking the gender dreaming forums for a while and bought a plan for swaying girl but have not posted very much! We started our sway in December/January and I think all the supplements I was taking (B6 and Vitex) screwed up my cycle so I ended up with a short luteal phase. Even though I stopped them I continued to have be ovulating late, so I finally went to the Dr. and he prescribed me Clomid, which is perfect since it sways pink! [emoji178] I am starting the Clomid today and I am really hoping to get a BFP this month!
Good luck to everyone! I can't wait to find out everyone's results as the month goes on! [emoji847]

All the specialists here seem to like 5-9 for some reason. I'm doing 4-8 so may consider 3-7 next cycle :)Quote:

You would think since this isn't my first rodeo, I would know what to do by now!
I need some advice ladies! Looking at my chart, it looks like I'm gearing up to ovulate. We last BDed the afternoon on Sunday. Should I have another attempt tonight or wait until tomorrow night? I've not gotten pregnant before from sperm this far out, although anything is possible! I'm totally ok with it being 3 days instead of 4 days. I welcome any thoughts on this!
Thanks!
