Boysboys not on it at all. Though the way im going i might need it 😂
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Lately my libido has been in the crapper too. Just feels too scheduled and routine... feels like a chore. But I don't know if it's hormones, excitement at prospects or the freedom to do what we want when we want but my engine has been in high gear all freaking day! Imagine focusing with that! AND I must have had a "look" because a male friend of mine who sits next to me in my first class kept looking at me like he was trying to figure something out. In a typical class if he isn't talking to me, I'm not talking to him or I am not speaking to the prof, he might look my direction once or twice but today he looked at me AT LEAST half a dozen times so all I can figure is I wasn't hiding my distraction well, lol. Then I get hubby from work and I am sooooooo ready to jump him and the MIL was STILL here and not ready to go home. He is taking her home now. It was like "woman, I love ya, but GO HOME!!" :rofl: The kids are still up so we wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway, so it's not her fault but I am like climbing the walls over here lol.
I'm not getting my usual cramps but I do have an intensifying backache. I looked it up and apparently ovulation can cause a backache too. Who knew :shrug: I took some tylenol so it's a bit better now though. Took another OPK when I got home and it's another dark'ish but neg one.
Also, after talking to atomic I'm feeling like there might still be some hope of getting our girl if we get our twins. I also looked online at odds and there is a 33% chance of BB twins, 33% change of BG twins and a 33% chance of GG twins... so a 66% chance of at least one girl :cheer: Go :pinksperm: Go!!!!!
I'll keep my FX for you!!!! I get preg the first cycle TTC after our loss but I think the damage was too great/ lining to thin to sustain it.... but it took me months to heal. So, hopefully that "beginner's luck" finds favor with you too and gives you a sticky bean!!
Twins run on my Dad's side of the family (and if my mom didn't give birth to me you wouldn't know she was my mom because genetically speaking I am WAY more like my dad.. been tested in case you are wondering lol) and my Mom had and lost a set of twins but they were conceived using injectables. So, LONG ago we talked about the possibility and were both okay with it. Me more than him, but it has grown on him. But we HONESTLY never expected to actually have a shot at them!! I know they will be a handful but with two high functioning autistic children, and once that had brain surgery at age 2 and continues to have developmental delays, I've NEVER had it easy lol. It will take some adjustment learning to nurse, chancge, bathe, etc 2 instead of one but I'm up for the challenge :D Though I know the idea makes most wet their pants :giggle: Now.. trips or more... THAT'S scary to me. I only have 2 arms and there are only 2 parents... we'd be outnumbered by newborns lol. And since 1 egg can split into 2 babies it's possible :nails: But lets hope not, k? K! :giggle:
Quinn - it was excruciating pain - like the worst cramps ever. It woke me up and I felt like I was on fire; I went to the bathroom and was doubled over. For days after that I was so sensitive, especially with a full blatter. I've never had contractions but this wasn't fun!
Magical - I'm so sorry. I have everything crossed IUI is exactly the ticket for you and you see a BFP later this month.
Boys boys - I wasn't ovulating so I'm on Clomid 100mg days 5-9.
Two - I've heard of women "smelling" better to men near ovulation - maybe he could smell you lolol! I know what you mean about MIL - mine just drops by all the time, and I love her but you're right - you gotsta go. And those odds are great - that's MORE than 50/50 and you've been swaying! I'm so excited to follow your journey!
I am being monitored with blood tests etc though, and if my numbers shoot up crazy then I will also have a scan.
I kind of just stumbled upon it. I am doing a tracked cycle with my Dr this month and I told the receptionist that I wanted to try the Clomid as I didn't know when I would be ovulating as everything was 'messed up' from the miscarriage. So she wrote out the script and took it into the Dr (who had another patient with her at the time) for her to sign and 'voila' now I have it!
I do not want twins, so I am thinking of asking for a scan no matter what my numbers look like :)
Magical, I kind of know how you feel. With my second dd, I couldn't get pregnant. I went through 6 rounds of clomid and 3 IUIs. Now that we're trying again, I'm realizing how traumatizing the whole situation was. I'm constantly assuming I'm not pregnant.
Good luck. Treat yourself today.

Thank you that's really nice to know. It's so frustrated and I feel like a bit of a failure, so frustrating when all our tested results come back great.
I have no hope in IUI working which is why I'm just giving it one chance, no reason why just my negative thoughts lately.
I'm at work today but will have a glass of wine tonight while watching The Bachelor Australia [emoji5]️[emoji166]
Did IUI work for you on the third attempt?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It did! I had been pregnant twice very quickly (one dd and one mc) and our tests came back normal as well so there was no explanation. That is so frustrating but the good thing is it means you can get pregnant, at least that was my Dr's perspective on it. He also said that sometimes you can just have bad luck every month for awhile. It's so hard to be positive now but I'm trying to. I'm even saying affirmations about how fertile I am, haha. I'm going to start doing yoga poses that promote fertility as well.
Are you swaying girl?

Another negative opk. Im starting to wonder if I already O. The test i did Monday morning (cd13) was the closest i had to a decent line even though negative. maybe it was the LH on the way out. Still seeing ewcm but also creamy. Ive had alot of af cramps too whilst moderate are never usually this persistent till after O. I guess more waiting 😢😰😵

Hi everyone! New here and joining the 2ww - congrats to all the ladies who have gotten their BFPs and hoping that BFPs are getting closer to those of us who are still waiting!
I'm at 6-7DPO I think. I don't temp but was doing OPKs and got my first solid smiley on 9/3 which just so happened to fit my e4d schedule perfectly. I'm trying to sway for a girl. So we DTD, and I put a pillow under my hips for like 15 mins and then got up. I don't expect to get a BFP this month bc it's our first try, BUT I'll be damned if my mind isn't playing tricks on me and I'm over-analyzing symptoms!
A quick q: if I'm doing spinning classes during the 2ww, could that affect or impair implantation? I just had my class today and I couldn't for the life of me keep up and had to slow down. It was really weird but I'm probably tired bc I had insane dreams last night and didn't sleep very well. Have another class scheduled for Saturday. Should I skip it? Thanks!!!

Welcome! I've always been told that if you're used to it then just keep doing it to the degree of comfort. Personally, though, I am crazy paranoid about preg or possibly being preg, due to my losses so I am pretty careful about EVERYTHING lol. I think you'll be ok but if you are really worried then missing a week until you know for sure won't make you flabby or anything, lol.
🙏 for a healthy PINK 🌈 🚼

Welcome Jelliebellie! fx and good luck! I can't answer your question regarding spin class but maybe skip one seeing as you're 6-7dpo?
Netti so glad you got those attempts in when you did! I think yoy may have missed your surge but sounds like your attempts were right around o! fx and hope the 2ww passes quickly for you
I think I might be O'ing! :D I'm a little nauseas and my left side is cramping hard for the first time this cycle. Eeeek! :fingers: that I am! Ready to get my 2WW on :)

Goodluck two 🙏
I hope so pbn cause im seriously over waiting and planning our bds lol. Will get one in today but my 3 nights start tonight so who knows 😂
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Yay two!! Hopefully I'm still awake when you temp :)
Sounds great will be 8.30pm ish my time :)
Two - I totally think his hormones were picking up on your hormones! Crazy!!!

It's weird to think of that, lol. We are 100% platonic friends and to think of hormones entering the equation is a bizarre concept. Logically I know it's just biology (if that was the case... I could have had something on my face for all I know, lol) but still a strange thought.
I have only taken it in the past for fertility issues (conceived DS1). I was going to get a referral to a specialist to try to get it again for swawing and stupid long cycles but then I got pregnant. I misscarried but last time I saw my dr I wasn't up to pursuing the referral again so I'm just trying on my own.
If it was easier to get I would be using it already!

Ive always had stark white so fingers X for something darker. Im praying to get a positive opk atm lol

Thanks Two and Pbn!!! I think just to be on the safe side I should skip a couple classes. I've been doing 4 times a week since June to get my cardio in but I'm getting muscle-y (and gaining weight bc of the muscle) so maybe I need to tone it down a bit anyway - worried it might sway blue. Plus I don't want to shake loose any sticky beans!
Pbn when are you going to test again? Keeping all fingers and toes crossed for you!!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good idea to cut back if your gaining muscle mass pretty sure that does sway blue so at least you've got a great excuse to have some time off from it lol!
I'll test again in the morning about 13 hours or so from now not that I'm counting :) I've been mentally preparing myself for bfn all day so I wont feel so crushed if it is. But then that image of a pink line sneaks in and I find myself imagining that too lol! Such a rollercoaster! When are you going to start testing?
Anyone using or has used ovuplan scope? Searching best prices on opks (not much variety and limited time to search tmro post night shift) and they are selling the scope for $30 which is $3 more than the first response kit and reusable. Clearblue digi are $40 for ten and the first response are $27 for 7. Waiting on my cheapies to arrive still.
I had read how to use the ovuplan looks a little more complicated than opks and im worrying about accuracy. Knowing my luck id double up anyway lol
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Netti I looked into it ages ago prior to actually ttc. Like you I read good and bad reviews and I thought trying to read patterns would be more stressful and difficult than standard opks. If you had a few months to use it for comparison month to month maybe it'd be worth it but I wouldn't now that you are actually ttc iykwim :) I have found the cb dual digi's really accurate - even though I questioned my o day because of lack of temp rise it gave me a solid smiley the day of o and previous cycles has been spot on the day b4 o. I just love that it takes any time variance out of the equation and you use once a day with fmu (you can test more once smiley flashing). And of course I love being able to pee on something by cd7 lol :)
Lol. Yeh i was thinking it may be abit time consuming.
Im just not sure whether i should keep opk testing this cycle or not? Maybe every second day as my opks barely have lines and I would rather stockpile opks atm than keep poas with no result. Ive either already O before cd13 or this is going to be really late O. Every 2nd day should catch something on an opk right?
Mum to 4 Boys awaiting her Princess
Depends how long your surge is. What cd are you on now?
Typically get a few days of light lines then solid then usually nothing the next day. Ive O cd17 and cd16 going by my last 2 cycles using opks. Im at cd16 now and i usually see something on the opk but its just a very faint squinter of a line thats why im thinking every 2nd day incase i have already O. Im totally testing late next week if no positive opk 😂😂
