Begonia, i plan to keep relishing the mangoes:)

GL jen and iluv so u O soon

No worries, that wasn't tmi, that was good stuff!

Love the site Jen.Thanks!!

Goodness me i cant keep up with the chat today! I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow but just needed your advice about dtd tonight. DH hasnt released for 4 days today & i've finally got +opk on digital & it's really dark line. I usually get 2-3 days of +++opk, should i dtd tonight? Help!!

OK, if I look hard enough I can see a very light test line but it's super light on my opk. Maybe by this evening it will be darker and I'll try another smiley OPK. :sigh: Still have to decide what that means for me but FX ladies!

Every reply is me me me me me me. I'm irritating myself but I will be logging off for a couple of hours so I can clean my mil's house.

Sorry baby it's my fault. I'm in a similar conundrum but worse and don't know the answer. I think I'll just play it by ear tonight but better early than late so I might just go for it tonight and tomorrow night. Not sure though

Oh i also dont have much ewcm now, dont know why because i had some the last few days. My preseed has arrived to i plan to use that with a pinch of bs

Does Atomic have a sticky about that?

I just googled it and eveything says normal but this had Never happended before. Random spotting for 1 day a few weeks before getting prego w/ DS2 but mirena had recently fallen out and shouldn't be related. That's the only time I've ever had this happen before so I'm stupidly kinda really freaked out and I'm not sure why. It might be a good thing but it's not normal.

Hope all is ok x

When was the last time your DH released? I'm sure O's close for you so keep testing. I was giving up hope & then today i had +opk so hang in there it's close. The only i'm bummed about is i wanted to time dtd as close to ovulation as possible but i dont know how it will all work out

i dont know if she is right but i just wanna cover this chapter too :)

Interesting thanks for posting this!

On night of CD12 and this is CD15 for me. So, tonight s/b 36 hrs. Not a ton of CM for me either, but more today than yesterday and cervix is soft and ready. I should honestly wait till tomorrow morning but that's just hard to do and i have an early babysitting job. Not sure if I want to risk waiting till Thursday night. but is abstinence is a good time frame. No ph tester thought it broke.

Dude, baby I soooo feel where you are at right now. I'm with you. Just wanted it to be easy this time. I wonder how princess faired. I heard from lola about my quest and I guess it goes back to how you feel like you have to do your timing. Timing is supposed to be 1 of the least scientifically backed up, but we are all trying everything even if it doesn't. I don't think DTD tonight and tomorrow night would be the end of the world but it's so hard to make a final call and it's not black and white.

I am there, and I don't honestly know either. Some of the physical signs could be you wanted to get gussied up and feel pretty and pheramones for DH, right. Any of those coming into play? Hard to tell when we are stressed and planning for both partners. I was horny last night, may s/h just done it then.

I wonder if it's because I have been doing this boot camp this and working out really hard trying get my fat ass to lose some weight before I start the boy diet? What do you think? anyway, I would Like to spend the next few months figuring all this ovulation and timing out so come Sept. I'm hoping "nail it on the head" pun intended! I just cant get over that Af came so early this month...what a B.

I remember getting all my tools in to gear, it is exciting hey ;)

Will you be using ew or pre seed and how about bs?

i have just 2 months in TTC but DH became agree for # 3 in terms of no swaying :(
can i mix his supp in food or any other suggestions ??

What if you tell him to take a multi v and juices for "good strong sperm".....

That's what i was told by lola and what I've read on google. Just weird. Gotta go clean for 4-5 hrs. Logging off for real this time. :)

I'll do 1 bsd (1/2 tsp) AF-O, and I'll also do 1 BSF an hour before DTD. Definitely no EW, since DH isn't swaying I can only imagine his reaction to that :rofl:

Haven't decided on the pre-seed yet, but my thought is that I'll use it if my EWCM isn't cooperating. I bought some. DH wouldn't care at all about that.

Babydes, I typically get the MOST EWCM before I O, so it sounds like that is what is going on with you. If you get 2-3 days of +OPK I would DTD tonight and then again 48 hours later if your OPK is still +.

Light, my DH does take fish oil, vit D, zinc and a b-complex. Those are b/c his GP told him too, and it just works in my favor that they are boy friendly. He is awful about remembering though so I dose him up at dinner time. But diet wise he's always been more of a meat-and-potato guy, drinks a ton of juice, etc. So I'm really just not worried about him.

Iluv I have to say I would totally be freaked by the blood in the CM too, I get the nervousness with something new. But everything I've read points to it being a positive so at this point I really wouldn't worry; try to focus on it being a positive sign of a good strong cycle.

3PNB that link cracked me up :bigsmile: But I TOTALLY appreciate it!!

So I go to the gym now 2-3 days a week to lift weights, which I used to hate, and now I totally, completely look forward to doing it. How funny is that ... I used to do nothing but cardio, and now I barely do any. Bring on the :DS:

I love that there really is no TMI with our group :kiss:

FX for you Babydes!!!!!

question: is there is sticky anywhere about smoking or alcohol? I am trying to figure out what this could do with the diet and when we go for our sway. I asked my Dh about it? He was no help. LOL anyone have any advice!

Smoking lowers sperm count therefor swaying girl.

I agree, my DH used to smoke!!

Here is a thread where we talked about "special" cigs if you are interested
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...hlight=special

It's talked about on different sticky's. I think alcohol sways girl but dark beer might be ok for guys....Cigs are bad and recommended to stop smoking during sway. My DH is a smoker and has been w/ both our boys so its not the end of the world but I'm sure better to stop. I've read just what 3PNB is saying but i can't pinpoint any out since I don't recall where exactly

Are you girls taking notice of biorhythms/moon phase?

Negative OPK still but was slightly pink earlier today. Totally confused and irritated. I'm tired and confused. WTH!!!! Did I miss it somehow. Only on CD15 but all other signs point to go. Whatever, I'm getting really done with this stuff right now but I'm exhausted and crabby, too....AND irritated!

:( I hope you did not miss it, perhaps this test just gone the urine was just too diluted??

Mine always has a completely neg day before the positive day, I think it drops ready for the big surge so I'd guess it will be tomorrow or Sat for you :agree:

I'm sure it will be + soon so keep testing. Are you not going to get dh to release soon, this was my worry & that's why i went for it last night

So i dtd last night with preseed & a pinch of bs. When i tested the preseed before adding the bs it's ph was 6.5 so i'd suggest to those who are going to use it to add bs to raise it's ph. Am i the only one who doesnt enjoy rear entry, haha! My DH is 6"2 & well endowed & i'm only 5"3 so you can imagine how i love that position, NOT! Sorry tmi

Haha, too funny. I'm not a fan of the position either. We've been practicing doggy style though.

Did you test the ph of the preseed after you added bs?

I tested my pre seed and it was only JUST a 7 too maybe a touch less?? So you just add a small pinch? How can you be sure that a pinch is too much and will tip the pH too high :S that is my worry???
And yes lol I totally understand the doggy as my hubby is not a small man either and I am not very big ha!

Oh and good luck!!! So you are now in the TWW!!!

Babydes I agree with others, DTD now, and then 12-24 hours after the OPK. If you've got some good EWCM I know Atomic says with a +opk or not, that's a good time to have an attempt.

Lola I'm sorry to hear about your dog! I thought at first you said 12 yo DD, and I was REALLY worried about you! Then my brain caught up. That said I adore my dog and know seeing her sick would be awful. Sounds like you have a whole lot on your plate right now lady. Good to see you though!

Hope.ful wait for that +! You'll feel so much better about your attempt I think. FX your fertility works for you this month! I know so many of us are used to one-shot-wonders and it seems swaying has definitely shaken that up a bit.

---

So I've had two days with the darker on one side and not on the other. Is that normal? Also, this morning, my temp went up .4 so I'm stressing thinking we should have BD'd last night. I hope we get a BFP this month...this is totally stressing me out!! Good luck to all the ladies swaying this month!!

I have never been able to have the big O w/o some hand held help mostly or a lot of work down there w/ me running the helm, but no internal O's ever. I've had a hard time w/ reaching the Big O when DH is paying attention. I wish it wasn't that way but I can't help it. We have rockin BD life, that's just hard for me. So adding the pressure to preform is tough. I ask him to leave the room after so I can have the Big O again in peace. I'm so ashamed but it is what it is. LOL! Better to reach the Big O alone then not at all, especially when it comes to Doing the baby dance!

---

You could TOTALLY do that with the ew! The first month I ttc and we used ew, I think I put WAY too much up there and it was just everywhere....I think we made an omelette between us in the bed, LOL. But, the other reason I go put it in then have an O (and I do it all sitting on the toilet....sexy, I know) is so that the excess comes out and there is just enough in there to help things along, and with the O, you know some got "sucked up" into your cervix where it needs to be. I think if you have too much it can be a hindrance to the sperm...like, instead of them getting in a pool to swim to the other end, they instead have to cross the Atlantic Ocean to get to the other end. I know I don't have 2ml of ew naturally anyway, why would you need that much?

OH GOOD, I'm glad to went for it! LOL at your physical differences there....doggie does hurt if you have a, erm, larger fellow there. My preseed has a 7.5 ph, isn't that weird? I'm glad you used it though. I swear, I want us all to get a bfp soon, but I have to admit that if I could choose one of us to get one now, it would be you, Babydes....you've worked and waited a long time now, I know how that is. HUGE FX for you!!!!
