OK weird that the preseed is different pH for everyone when it is supposed to be a 7.5! I'm thinking I won't use it ... I don't want to stress over that now too!

hope.ful when you say one line of your OPK is darker than the other do you mean the TEST line is darker, or the control line? Because if it is the control line that is still darkest wait for the test line to become darker than the control. I know it is tricky but the first time I finally got a + (I usually just used smileys) I was like, Ohhhhhhhh... so THAT's what it looks like! It will be noticeable when it is +!

iluv keep waiting it out, I guess! I know last O I didn't ever see a +OPK and it stressed me out, especially since we are trying this month. I don't know if I just didn't O (all the signs were there though, CP and TONS of CM) or if I somehow didn't POAS correctly and missed it. I got one that was pretty dark but not +, and I wonder if maybe that was it?? Because then they went white after that and never got remotely dark again.

DH and I go on vacay tomorrow! Hooray for holiday weekends without my kids :rofl: It's a shame I"m not ovulating now ... oh well, just hoping AF holds off til next week and doesn't creep into vacay time. BUT I will be offline til Tuesday so I hope everyone has great attempts if you're having one, and GREAT BFP's for our 2WWers :happy:

Jen I think you're the farthest along in the 2WW right now so when are you planning to test? Is it 6DPO today?

OK, ladies, bear with me....I have several comments to make!

First of all, thank you for linking that website, Jen....LOOOOOOOVE it! That was helpful and a nice laugh first thing in the morning at my desk...I did not expect to see the computer animated humping there! And this leads me to commentary about women and orgasms in general....I do not know many girls that can have an O without helping themselves out while dtd. This kinda pisses me off! I think there needs to be a world-wide sex education class for men so they can learn WHAT THE HELL to do. Even if they are experienced, I don't think a lot of men get it. HELLO...I'm not going to O with you just ramming me with that thing. I'm about to school my DH for sure. He's fun and all, but I don't think he's had a woman ever sit him down and tell him what is up with the vag and how it works. I swear, they have to be taught. And I don't pity men, either...they can have an O without any special manipulation...something just has to be TOUCHING the weiner and it's all good. Sheesh. Ok, sex rant over.

About the preseed.....Iluv, where did you read that? Mildly alarmed now, and will be googling after I finish this. Honestly, many many m/c happen, like half of pregnancies end in m/c, so there is probably nothing that will "cause" it other than your sperm and eggs having chromosomal abnormalities that unfortunately come together and fail. I am going to research though. Probably just coincidences, but still going to look into it.

Iluv, not sure what is up with your cm....just try not to worry about it, it very well may be a good strong ovulation sign, or maybe your body is just releasing a little blood, or maybe one of the supps is causing it.

And on the supp note......I can say this with 100% confidence: SUPPLEMENTS CAUSE YOUR CYCLE TO BE WACK. If you take anything at all, just expect that something will be late or early or something. Not that it's bad, and I don't think anyone should not take supps unless they really mess you up and you get too freaked out about it, but just anticipate that you will ovulate in a different fashion, and stock up on opks and your other O tracking supplies and just be patient. If you don't O for some reason, then it is time to stop the supps, because that clearly is not going to help in any way get you pg with your boy! I just say all this because it does freak us out when we expect to O on the usual CD13-15 like we used to, then when you are swaying, you are into CD18+ with no +opk and start to freak. Especially with the timing and abstinence crap, it makes for one big ttc stressball. So, after many months of experience with this now (ugh), I say that it is best to just be patient and track it. It is darn near impossible to have everything fall perfectly into place, so you just gotta pick what you are willing to keep trying and what you just can't deal with. Remember ANYTHING you do that sways is indeed swaying...not a guarantee of a son if you sway mildly or hardcore anyway, but every little bit helps. But it will mess with your body, just expect it. You can really let swaying and ttc consume your life, which is ok if you end up getting pg within a few months, but becomes very hard when you go past 6 months, so I hope everyone sees what I am trying to say here....because I really do want everyone to get pg soon and not have to go through what Babydes and I (and a few others, I think) for the better part of the past year. Well, and I'm old, so that doesn't help. LOL

Yikes! Yes, I can't do it. And if some of our DH's are big, then doing missionary style hits my cervix and is deep enough, thank you very much. I just can't do it, it hurts too much. I am pretty confident that he is deep enough!

B, maybe you didn't O, that is normal to skip every once and a while, I think. Maybe the supps though? Man, it is not fair how some women become super ovulating baby-making machines on the supps and some of us make our ovaries go hide in a cave.

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?

---

Sorry to hear that! My DH is all about giving me O's, even when I don't want them. I guess that is a good thing.

And Q: I know we are supposed to O before DH to get alkaline out, but the suction motion of the O is so valuable and strong, that I think it is better to O right after him. It sucks the sperm in and gives it ahead start. Plus, all of that alkaline fluid might give it extra fuel for the trip. Just my 2 cents....

One of my DD's was conceived full moon, so I'm sorta what-eva about moon phases... I think it might impact some people but not others.

It is a good thing....my DH can, but he is not as good and experimental with it as I'd like. The guy I dated before him kinda set the bar really high for me, I think.:suprise:

And yes, you are right....it would be ideal, actually, to have one before AND after!

well said (about supps). but see now that im charting and getting to know and predict my cycles..id HATE to have to start from square one!! but at the same time i have to see if ther supps work for me. i think the key is MODERATION.

begonia - I've had to many evaps and faint lines over the last few months so I'm not testing till 14 dpo. My standard lp is 11-13 days so by then I'm officially late and can trust what ever that evil little stick tells me. So Friday, nah I'll wait till Saturday the 4th when dh will be home. Have fun on your trip!!

Baby - I don't like doggy either, if dh gets carried away it can really hurt. The position I posted gives me control over the angle and he can go to town lol

Lola - glad you liked the link, made me giggle too. It took a few sit downs but my dh has me all figured out now, he better after 15 years right. He has g spot precision but no matter what I can't O without my help. I feel bad for couple's who believe that some woman just can't O or won't experiment to figure it out. My buddy won't touch "down there" as she calls it and her dh has never released a little tension either, its the standard way for them and surprise, surprise she's never had an orgasm.

Spicy - I guess I'm lucky, I get one before and usually a simultaneous. Since we are not using any lube by then I'm pretty much done lol

spicy and begonia - I'm done playing the ion game. I should have three boys if computers, moons and electric blankets played a big role. I truly believe it's 90% about the diet.

And yes lol I totally understand the doggy as my hubby is not a small man either and I am not very big ha!

If BS has a PH of 8, that's as high as it can make the pre-seed, right? Just curious.

I've never experienced O bleeding before but seems to be very close to the beginning of my normal AF. That would be way too early but has happened I think 2 cycles ago. If it's the case, then I'm going to have a good cry and go off of the fertilecm and maybe even green tea and just somewhat go back to normal. We've never had problems like this before and haven't been happy with my CM the last couple of cycles but keep 2nd guessing myself. That's DH's thoughts as well. I don't want this to go on for 6 months. Fertile Focus showed like 2 very tiny ferning circles but not anything like it would be in transition or fertile period so I'm blowing that off. I don't expect a + opk today but I might post back w/ egg on my face. This is just too emotional for me to be rational.

OPK just a minute ago had a light pink line again (similar line and time as yesterday) but it might just be 2nd morning urine being too concentrated and messing w/ the O strip. will try again this afternoon. CP seems higher and no CM this morning but some stretchy cm after mucinex.

DH released on CD12 and this is CD16 so we might do it tonight regardless. We were both so exhausted last night we crashed.

LOL! yes, it can hurt you just have to adjust the height of your shoulders and hips till you hit the sweet spot. Keep the front of your body and chest low, hips high. I like it when I just need a good pounding or when I need DH to finish up. He did figure out a few years ago that it was my trick to get him to finish. :)

I'm glad it went well for you. Someone needs a BFP.

Thanks ELP. Sorry, I was soooo tired after cleaning my MIL's and disappointed last night and I was having a 2 year old temper tantrum. :) I will just be so dissapointed if no chance this month. I know I'm stressing a little soon but the bleeding is throwing me off and not good CM and last cycle was perfect and right on time in every way. I expected this month to be really easy. Oh well, I know there's still hope and I don't want to be a negative Nancy but I'm getting really ancy.

Too funny Lola, I needed a good laugh this morning. I posted about being a total moron the 1st time w/ ew's, crazy man. I do it in bed on a towel. I could never reach an O sitting on the toilet. I have to be laying down but that's awesome. I figured it would all fall out but I guess you are right and there might be just enough to get sucked up then you could put more in just before DTD if you really felt the need. I'll have to give it a shot if I get the chance tonight or I'm taking the chance I guess. FX but not hopeful. It would sure be nice if I could test my ew's ph though. Oh well! I read 5 ml??? and you're right about the ocean. True that girl. Thanks for being her Lola and helping us out when you are dealing w/ your own stuff. I really appreciate your experience and advice.

Jen I think you're the farthest along in the 2WW right now so when are you planning to test? Is it 6DPO today?

---

I really really like having the digital smiley OPK to confirm. Did you do that w/ the really dark line. I've been taking OPK's so shouldn't have missed it but I have to wonder last cycle was right on and I didn't change anything.

Have fun on vacay, so jealous!!!

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!!!!

I have to say that I'm feeling very good BFP vibes from you baby. I wouldn't be surprised if this is your month. GL to you!

Thanks Lola!

RE: Big O. I think it's me and it just takes Forever! I've only been w/ DH so I have no other experience, although, he did when he was being a horribly naughty young man and as far as I heard he didn't have any problems w/ at least some of the "other" women, so I think it's just hard for me. That being said, we have a wonderful Se* life I just have to go w/o or help a lot. School those boys away though I would love it if there was really some trick or sweet spot he could find.

I wish I could help the stress but this stuff is so emotional and to think about doing all this work for a BFN or missing O all together is....well it makes me cry. I'm old and I don't have tons of time to mess around. I wondering If I really just want to get pregnant at all right now and hope for the best. If no cycle this month I will re-evaluate what I'm taking. Or I have been whineing for nothing and will get a BFP.

Hats off to those of you doing this for any longer than a couple of months. That's a tough road and I'm sorry.

Thanks for the calm re-adjust Lola and I will try to be calm. I need to start my Yoga classes again. :)

I help myself before and after too. Just should maybe do the before w/ the EW's first.

I mean that on one side of the test line, it's as dark as the control, and the other side is lighter, so I'm interpreting that as an 'almost' but it's been like that for 2.5 days, so I'm wondering if that was my + and I just missed it! Does anyone have the test line actually be darker than the control line??

---

Yes, when mine are truly +, the test line is way darker. It has to be just AS dark as the test line, though....I've had mine be as dark as the line at like noon, and then darker at 4-6pm. It is confusing, but just go with the first test that is truly AS DARK AS the control line.

SO LISTEN TO THIS BULLSHIT: my ex-dh's wife is pregnant, and due when I would have been. OF COURSE she is. Jeez, life is full of surprises, no?

---

Just add some and see what happens. That's why it is good to give it a few months to experiement before you ttc. And you know what, I truly don't have a problem taking whatever I feel I should and just tracking O with a big load of opks...it's just now that it's old hat, I don't stress about it much anymore. I figure I will O anytime between CD11-18, as my history has shown. But, I also don't worry about the timing with DH and all, because that, plus tracking O, was a nightmare for a while. I was convinced that only the clairvoyant or wizards could do this swaying thing the right way.

Thanks, ILuv....I wish I wasn't such a long timer, but hey....I've been doing this for a while so I hope my laid back attitude about it doesn't offend anyone....I just have seen enough successes and failures from all sorts of sways that I really think it is just a crapshoot, but it all makes us feel like we are doing something to up our blue odds, and that's better than nothing. But there have been a ton of successful sways lately! And really, no sweet healthy baby is ever a failure. I just want one of those. I'd even take an androgynous Storm baby at this point. LOL

Hmm...ok I hope that's the case for me, too. Is it normal to test 'almost' for 2.5 days, and does it switch over pretty quickly after that? I am just soo afraid with my temp increasing this morning, that we missed it last night. But my body has been moving at turtle speed this month. I quit the mucinex bc we have been frequent BDing this month (like every other day) in hopes that will work in our favor, and of course we didn't the last two nights, and I get a temp rise today! I'm afraid if I keep taking the Mucinex that I will m/c because of it but all that to say I have almost no CM so it's hard to know if it's even switched. How do you ladies test with OPK's and drink 60 oz water? I wait 2 hours after drinking anything to test and my pee is still only nearly yellow!

Well, I usually have a few days of "fade-ins", like almost positive for at least 2 of those days, then all of the sudden, it is way positive. And occasionally, it gets LESS positive before it actually turns +. Like, 75% one day, then 75% the next day, then 50% the 3rd, them bam, 100% positive. I just test a lot, and I try not to drink too much, but I don't not drink anything, just try not to say, chug or anything.

Awww that's sweet of you to say that! I had 2 lots of ph strips & on the phion strips the ph of the preseed was 6.5/8 & on the johnson one it was 7

I just test a lot, and I try not to drink too much, but I don't not drink anything, just try not to say, chug or anything.

Oh my goodness, thanks so much for the quick reply. I have been stewing over this all day. Thanks for the encouragement!

Does anyone have the test line actually be darker than the control line??

I like to have some more expensive digital ones on hand in case of confusion or confirmation.

How do you feel about it? By the way how's the dieting going? Also what's your plan for the next few months? I love your relaxed attitude about swaying, i am much more relaxed than when i started

But there have been a ton of successful sways lately! And really, no sweet healthy baby is ever a failure. I just want one of those. I'd even take an androgynous Storm baby at this point. LOL

A serious AMEN to that! thanks girl!

I'm glad it went well for you. Someone needs a BFP.

Too funny! What have you decided for tonight, are you going for it? My temp hadnt risen this morning so i'm hoping it's the same tomorrow so i can dtd again tomorrow. Havent felt strong ovulation pain either just mild cramps here & there so i'm sure ovulation will be tomorrow which would be ideal 48hrs

I think we might. Tonight will be 4 days abstained and I just did another opk and it's negative. So I've learned I can't use 2nd morning urine either to test. I really am not sure. I'm still hoping to see a + opk before DTD but most likely tonight either way and then 48 hrs later. Idk, I'm in denial yet still hopeful. Still bleeding.....augh...but I'm not whinning, Lola! :)

Is it a lot of blood, i wonder what could be causing it? Well i've just done opk & it's negative...this is the first for me. I usually have 2-3days +++, weird. I can only hope that last night wasnt too late

I forget, did you have any + opk's this cycle at all? It could be Ovulation blood still but I'm not sure. if it's super heavy tomorrow then AF came early. If I get a + opk tomorrow then O blood. O blood is supposed to be like 2-3 days prior to O and indicates strong O. I read up on it but I forgot all the technical stuff already. I've been taking OPK's since CD11 but I only once a day so I suppose I could've missed it, or just late, or just no happening at all and my cycle is changing again. I'll have to wait till tomorrow I guess but will take another OPK this evening and before bed I think. DTD anyway tonight.....yeah....that's what we will do. :)

Last night when I was checking my cm and cervix I noticed I had creamy like cm tinged with brown? Could this be pre O spotting or just old left over blood from AF? I was CD 7.
