The egg and sperm did meet and tried to implant, so your body starts releasing HCG, but something goes wrong somewhere in the process. It's like a very early miscarriage -- you wouldn't even know about it unless you were testing before AF.

In my case, I had two days of faint positives, but then started spotting and over the next few days I started testing negative. AF was a couple of days later than normal, and was extremely heavy, but if I hadn't tested so early with such sensitive tests I would probably never have known I was pg at all.

NCBeachy, glad that your spotting stopped. Did you go to the doctor today? Any news?

Fish, going by your temps, it doesn't look like you've o'd yet. If it's AF, it's extremely early even based on that first positive day of OPKs.

Thanks Shellbelle, so it's an early miscarriage. Sometimes it's better if we don't know we're pregnant before AF is due then rather than getting excited of pregnancy and then all of a sudden...puff...no baby at all! :sad: So you don't feel anything...no pain at all? Just normal AF symptoms/cramps?

Congratulations 3men I can see the lines!! :D

Fish - I agree looks like you are about to O, maybe worth an extra bd? Fingers crossed for you! xx

It was an extremely heavy AF. Like, scary heavy. But other than that, no, no excruciating pain. Just a lot of sadness.

Yes it must be terrible :sad:

Beachy, I think everything is going to be FINE :) Fingers and toes crossed anyway, but I REALLY think you're good :)

Oh, Beadin, I love you too. So much. :)

Fingers crossed NC but I think you will be fine too, sending lots of sticky bean vibes xxx

I'm not sure if I can handle the negatives or positives-then-negatives this month.

Shell my dear...I just can NOT bear to see a BFN right now. I have been thinking about our past efforts and how we shelled out so much money for 3...yes I said it 3 failed IUI's. 16 months of trying...I am really praying this will NOT be a repeat. If it is going to take me 16 months I may as well just forget it now :tissue:

3M I soooo see that line! It is definitely a BFP!!!!!

I am praying that this is your month, sweetie, and that you won't have to worry about anything except the next 9 (10) months and the beautiful little baby you'll have at the end.

Okay, preggos.

I'm trying not to get excited. I swore I wouldn't symptom spot this month. BUT...

I'm having globs and globs of this yellow, creamy/sticky cm. I usually have a little bit of creamy cm at this stage, but never like this. It started yesterday, but I thought maybe it was just a fluke. But today there's no denying it. As far as amounts go, it's close to pre-o levels. No itching, no smell, so it doesn't feel like an infection.

So my question is... how many of y'all had extra cm around 6dpo?

Am I crazy? At 6dpo I shouldn't have any pregnancy related symptoms, right? Because it's 6dpo. That's pre-implantation for most people. Right???

For me, I'm generally pretty dry until I start spotting. Must not get my hopes up yet!

Definitely didn't get too skinny! This last cycle I was even more at ease on the diet. For perspective:

First attempt (which I actually gave up on!) I went from 118 to 103 (really bad!) but I don't count that one because I gave up (it was in Dec/Jan) before I ovulated

Second try I got down to 112, had a faint positive, began eating normal, faint positive went negative, had a REALLY heavy period... but I gained most of the weight back (crazy...)

Started at 117 and got down to 114 this last time.

I stopped the diet when we were in Berlin beginning of August (about a week after supposed ovulation) so I'm pretty much McFatty 120lbs. Ugh.

I'm trying to decide if I should skip my next cycle or just say eff it and try and just keep my diet normal but just skip breakfast most days and not snack... but drop most everything else.

We're both vegetarians as it is... I just think I have to *let go*.

Suregena, you are HARDLY Mcfatty. LOL. I wish I was "McFatty" like that!! ;)
If I were you, I would be tempted to tell them I've been trying for a year. You seem to be in good health otherwise and this is weird. Have you had this happen before - with crazy cycles?

I think letting go is a good idea. At the end of the day, who's to say you'll end up with a girl anyway. The question is, do you want another baby, or a girl? I got a plan from Atomic and picked what things I would do. I didn't do Rephresh or baby aspirin. I took Vitex from af to o. I took one Zytrec the morning of my attempt and I did the diet for a little over 3 weeks. It was more than I ever did before. I know I couldn't stay on the le diet forever. You've done so much already Suregena. You should be proud of yourself!! I think you should drop all the supps and dtd girl. Skip breakfast and try to stay away from meat. That in itself is a lot more than most women do and they get girls. As Atomic has said, you can't get your dg if you don't get pregnant. Good luck to you and I really hope to see an enormous BFP in your future. :heart:

Shell! Hoping this is it for you!! 2ww symptoms can make us go insane. I understand you not wanting to get your hopes up, that said, if you usually are very dry during the 2ww then it certainly sounds positive.
Everyone is different, me for example always have tons and tons of creamy cm in the 2ww, so it doesn't mean anything to me, but if your normally dry, and now your not, that's a complete opposite so maybe it means it's the real thing :)

Suregena, I'm in the 'let it go camp'
The top 3 things (from my understanding) is the no breakfast, no snacking, vegetarian, and I'd you can have all those boxes ticked then I think your sway is a pretty strong sway, especially considering you are coupling it with FR. I do really think that for whatever reason your body just doesn't like the confines of the LE diet and based on your cycles it's struggling to keep you functioning normally from a fertility perspective. I trully believe your best shot of getting pregnant is by sticking to the key aspects above, and just letting the rest go.
Just reassure yourself that even without the Strict LE diet you DO still have a strong sway :)
Best of luck!

I know you're right. I only have 1 child after two miscarriages and want my son to have a sibling close in age. Unfortunately, he's 2 1/2 now so the longer it takes the further apart they'd be. :( so I should really just try to be healthy for a pregnancy, boy or girl, at this point.

Staying away from meat is easy because I'm already vegetarian ( and so is my husband!)

Just what I needed to hear. Makes me want to press on next cycle despite weight gained. I do wonder if we actually got lucky with our son, considering we are both vegetarians, so I'll just keep that in my mind. I have a special, lovely, beautiful boy and we'd be lucky if we ended up with another, because the one we have is so amazing and we had a lot of heartbreak with the two miscarriages before him.

Of the 4 new female bubs at work, 3 have vegetarian mums.

I was going through a 'eating meat' stage in my life when DS was conceived.

changed it to opk only mode and reccons o on day 17?! so 2dpo.........must stop obsessing ;-S

CD54 today. It's edging close to being my overall longest cycle to date (last month was 50 days, last attempted sway I gave up on was 55.)

Cp is super firm and low and closed. Felt like AF was on the way... have a pad on in case, but no sign yet. What's going on?! :(

I'd love to do OPKs but every cycle so far I've never gotten a positive and spent a small fortune on then so far, so I feel a bit iffy even bothering using them again.
