lemon-I also used CBFM for years and we can get a +opk before the peak window for sure. I always get a + before O and I just O later so maybe you did not O yet? (but of course I don't know how is it for you)
Anyway for ttc girl because you are close to O I would not dtd again.
Don't know what you did this post is maybe to late lol
I may did a damn O+12 and I ttc boy ggggggrrrrrrr but I hope if I get a bfp that it was just right on O lol
Ugh, it is so awful, isn't it? I had maybe 2 big ones like that also, and both went down the toilet hole too fast for me to see them, but I had that kinda "good" feeling like after you deliver a baby and placenta, kwim? I knew they were likely baseball-sized also. I didn't know what to expect either, and for 2 nights, mostly just in the middle of the night (and all night one of them), I was like writhing in pain with contractions. It was awful. I am so so sorry you had to experience this also. But I'm holding out hope that all of us who had to go through the horrible experience of loss will be compensated with a beautiful and healthy pregnancy very soon.
Lemon, I think you are doing great....just try not to stress too much since it raises your testosterone. Try not to "control" everything, kwim? I agree with the other ladies, you gotta just give it your best shot and if you feel uncomfortable with any of it, leave that out. A break is always a good thing if you feel you are getting too stressed about it, though!
Yeah - it was pretty traumatic and painful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone (and sorry you had to go through it too). I'm just thankful I was able to do the whole thing at home, as scary as it was - I would have hated to be in a sterile hospital environment where they really couldn't have done anything for me anyway. I just wish my mw had given me a little warning about what the m/c would be like - I had talked to her earlier in the day when my bleeding started getting heavier, so she suspected the m/c was coming soon. I didn't realise you have contractions and lots of pain during the process.
Oh mocha and lola, Your mc sound horrible. Mocha, I am surprised your mw did not give you more info or a call to help you out.
Yes, the month is over now and I am so sad.
I get so caught up in hysterics and I am becoming over the top obsessed with timing and diet and food I can and cannot eat. It is pathetic...I am 37 and just want another baby. I am scared of losing my dream that is all. I never thought I woud only have boys and I never thought I would be this old and still not pregnant!
Our chances are so slim that I might as well eat salt.
Mocha, how much represh were you using when you thought it would not get you pregnant?
I am worried our one and only solid bd is useless. Yesterday was pure dumb paranoia and this am was o plus 18...I think so useless and shallow. I think the sperm have to be up there for sure!
So, now I am already plotting next month.
I have to just get pregnant or I really will not be able to function...it is hard enough as it is now.
So, how do I sway but still get pregnant???
Thanks for listening...you already have a lot of emotional stress.
Flava...I guess we both dtd at the same time trying for different genders! I dtd o -20 but not a lot of sperm in there. You?
Oh, the cbfm I think was off bc of the vitex I took. I think it made me o early and screw up my hormones. I think it did not catch the estrogen and lh at different times. The lh was certainly there.
Anyone else found vitex did that?
lemon - lots of women get pregnant on rehpresh, and it's entirely possible it wasn't that that was preventing me from getting pregnant...all I know is that as soon as I dropped it, that's when I got my BFP (after 4 months trying). In the beginning I was using a whole tube of rephresh every 3 days, but by the month before I dropped it I was down to 1/4-1/2 a tube every 3 days. I think this time I'll use just a fingerful every few days, especially if I get dh to do a compressed frequent release again. If we don't do fr at all, I might use 1/2 a tube every 3 days. The thing is, I may not have much warning when O appears since my cycle will obviously be abnormal this month, so I kind of have to play it by ear.
Oh, and Vitex definitely made my O unpredictable. One month it would come 2 days early, then the next month it would come 2 days late.
So, lemon, did you just end up doing the one shot then o+12 ish??
