Hi ladies,

Congratulations to those with their bfp's and good luck to those ttc.

I'm 4dpo today and the tww is dragging...lol! My ovulation was a week later than usual so this cycle seems like forever already.

We would love a dd to complete our family :fingers:

Yes hopefully we all get BFPs this month and get to join the due date group together and can snack whenever we want, haha! Low protein is hard for me because I have eaten a low carb high protein diet for about 17 years up until starting the LE diet! I miss eggs and steak! I did lose 10 lbs on the LE diet though which I always thought I could only do on a low carb diet. The funny thing is until the last 2 lbs no one, even my husband and parents, noticed I had lost weight then all of a sudden after those last 2 they started saying I looked too thin and was waisting away.

Hi, can I join you?

I’m currently in the tww and think I’m 7dpo.

I feel a bit premenstrual at the min however af isn’t due for another week thanks to my longer cycles.

Other symptoms I’m having are; vivid dreams, aches, nausea at night with bloating (wakes me up), bbs feel a bit sore and heavy

Morning ladies,

Well I caved and tested this morning at 7dpo as with my last boy I got faint positive at this time, so was disappointed when it was a bfn :sad:

Sonshine - how are you feeling? :fingers: for a bfp

Nell - hi and hope to see some positives this month for us all.

Lyagirl - hi and welcome, I think a few of us are around 7dpo. I haven't really felt anything other than lower back pain and a few niggles here and there.

4blue2pink - :wave: how are you? My youngest Hugo is 9 months now, he is an absolute delight. We are doing a little sway nothing too major. Although this month I ovulated over a week late so had to throw in another attempt. But hopefully it still worked out at just once in fertile window. I see you expecting, when are you due? I'm soooooo broody it's unreal... Lol

Iyagirl I can definately see a line and it looks to have colour so I wouldn't think it's an evap though can never be 100% sure.... looks very promising!! Have you tested again?

TA Sait - :fx:that you, Nell and DOP get you positives very soon. I did I slight sway nothing too major supplements for both and me and dh drank alcohol everynight from af - o which we never do. Also was meant to be 1 attempt in fertile period. I O'd a week later than expected so think our attempt was a 2.5 - 3 day cut off. But the attempt earlier in cycle would be well out of fertile window due to late ovulation :fingers:

Nell - thanks, I would love to stay team Green for a different experience as I found out with all my boys but in all honesty I'm too impatient and hubby would want to know also so we will most likely find out.

When I was TTC my son I tested early for the first few months and then I would just wait for my temp drop on my BBT chart to know I was out for another month. I just found the stark white line on the pg test so disheartening, but I'm not sure what I'll do this month. As it's my first month TTC I might test early.

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I know if I stretch the truth with my Dr I can get Femara and Metformin and use that as part of my sway, but I'm not sure if I should, because my Dr recommended I try a few months without it first, and I'm scared of twins, and I think if we DO use it it might work first go for us (which it did last time), which would mean having a Christmas baby (or late November) and we would have family (visiting from interstate) around with a few week old baby (chaos). When my son was born I was very nervous about him being around other small children because he was immunosupressed (I'm on immunosupressants during pregnancy for Crohn's Disease) and there tends to be a lot of whooping cough around our area. BUT the other side is I'm worried if I DON'T use use the Femara I'm throwing my sway down the drain, or at least reducing my chances of DD significantly. We're only having 2 children, so this is the 1 and only time I will sway - I want to give it my all.

Ideally we'd like to have our new baby arrive in Jan / Feb / March next year, but now that I'm in TTC mode (and have been swaying, running etc for 12 weeks) I don't feel I can stop TTC. Oh, the conundrum! Maybe a Christmas chaos baby won't be so bad after all. Sorry for my rambling, just not sure if I should be booking in to see my Dr and get Femara next month and I'm scared if I fall preg or get an 'opposite' that I'll forever blame not having Femara / Metformin.

Hey cookies good luck if you used them for your son i probably wouldn't worry going without this time! New baby and lots of family around ( to help?) Maybe good xxx

Hi, im new to all of this and would like your opinions on ovulation strips. In your opinion does it look like I have ovulated on the 4th and 5th strips or are they not dark enough? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0bdccd8034.jpg

I would say not, it doesn’t look dark enough .
It looked like a surge was starting but backed off. Or it could be my phone and I can’t see them properly.
Are they as dark as the control line ? Are you taking temps?

Thank you for your reply, the 4th was taken yesterday at 10am, 5th was yesterday at 4pm then the next 2 were taken this morning at 10am. Im not sure but think I felt ovulation pain yesterday also but maybe in just looking for clues. No not temping

Hello all, I'm in the tww and I remember the torture from last time!
I have two boys 4 & 18months and TTC pink.
It took 7 months to conceive my second son and have just had my first attempt after 13 weeks on LE diet.
I took clomid and do 30mins cardio in the morning before food ( as it's meant to burn fat straight away)

I have already caved and poas and it was negative 8dpo
don't have any symptoms so I'm feeling like i'm out
I can't remember when I tested last time, maybe it's too early.

I thought i'd be ok and not assess every twinge but it's so so hard!
I am also finding the diet really hard, ive been pretty good so far but the TWW has made me super hungry and unmotivated! anyone else?

Congrats on the BFP, so exciting!

Our cycles must be exactly the same Im 8 dpo! Im not even going to test if af is late yay il test if not il leave it as i find seeing a negative test more upsetting...Least af means ok i can try again in a week or so 😂 are you taking clomid for swaying?

Wishing - I wouldn't say any of those are positive, I used the exact same tests this cycle and they were up and down but it got much darker on my positive

Attachment 41193

Sonny - you are not out until AF arrives, with my last son I got positive at 7dpo and this cycle was poas and so disappointed when it was bfn I thought I was out too but yesterday at 10dpo I got my first positive on frer and this morning I see it on a cheapie test.

Wishing everyone good luck this month...sending lots of baby dust x

Might be too early, maybe give it a couple more days . Symptom spotting happens to all of us, no matter how hard we try [emoji4]

Are you eating enough? Sometimes being under your cal can make you peckish, and of course all the hormonal shifts.

We must be on the same cycle Nell!
I'm taking clomid for swaying, although after getting AF back after my second son my periods were all over the place, ranging from 28-36 days. It was my first month taking clomid and my static smiley was on day 14 so it worked quite well.
