Silly question.....can we DTD with a condom during the 2 ww? I'm about 4dpo.
I think you can do it without a condom if you really want, too. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it matters once you hit the 2WW.
Good luck!! :)
Jadis, thanks a lot!!! I havent sung that song thingy since I was about 15 and now I will be singing it in my head every hour! Its like that ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang song!
We were just trying one attempt our first month so that is why we would use a condom. I just didn't want to mess with pH or implantation. We had our attempt Monday night so if it was going to be fertilized it would be by now right? Implantation isn't until 6-11 dpo right?
I am a 2WW thread stalker trying to conceive my much wanted little girl. Really was hoping that this month would be mine so I could add to all the BFP's. Unfortunately AF arrived and I am out. I am going to strive to lose some weight before my next attempt in November. You guys have been so entertaining with all the POAS jokes. Thanks for helping to make me smile :-):flowerz:
hey beadin - I'm certainly no expert but that chart of yours is starting to look very triphasic!!!
Oh my gosh so pleased you are all cheating too last two mornings i've had to eat breaky i've felt sooooo sick, i guess the die is set now so hoping it doesn't matter.............lots of cm here too but temp not v high so not too hopefull ;-(
although think thermoter maybe broken i took 3 in a row yesterday am and gor 97.3, 97.5 and 97.6 hmmmmm amazon cheapy any eccomendations ladies?
Thanks Lassie, but my temp dipped a bit this morning...I'm so sad. My breasts are tender still (that never happens to me except in pregnancy) & I still have dull cramps, back pain, hot flashes, etc...which I guess could also be signs AF is coming, although if that is the case, it certainly happened very early. I don't know what to think! Could the Vitex cause this even though I stopped it at O?
Another BFN this morning at 11 dpo...I really think I'm out. :(
Thanks for checking out my chart...it really does mean a lot. Maybe it'll happen next month. Xx
Well ladies I was going to crawl from under my chair to test tomorrow morning but unfortunately no need because AF arrived right on time. On to September :tissue:
So sorry, P4P...
Next month will be ours. Maybe taking a little longer to conceive will increase our chances of having girls...we can hope, right? Xx
Thinking of you.
Sorry P4P...So dissappointing...
Hey Hope & Dream!
How are you??
Hi! I am doing good. Sorry to see you were out this month too. I was just going to post to say hi to you too. I am CD6 today. Trying to decide if I should take estradial. I take clomid. and the estradial (that can sway boy) helps with the lining so conception is more likely. I really don't know what to do.... Need to make my decision by CD8. Think you may know my story~ trying since November, BFN's all through the winter and then spring. Was really sick with crohns disease (thus why I wasn't conceiving). I am in remission now and given the clear to ttc again. But I've dropped frequent, no jellies (bc of the clomid). Last month was a break and I gained weight back not doing the diet, but have lost again and continue to basically eat nothing. Just trying to balance getting preggie and swaying!
So sorry P4P, really hope next month is your turn for a BFP xx
Sorry P4P, good luck next month!
So sorry P4P!
Anyone else's sense of smell crazy right now? I'm smelling EVERYTHING. Paper smelled gross to me today. I'd be glad to get a BFP but worry a bit because it's only 1st try & that would mean we are really fertile which sways blue. Ugh! I think I'm over thinking everything & going over & over my sway. If I am preggo I want my girl sooooo badly.
I'm a bit worried about that too Lilpumpkin. I got pregnant by dtd just once at + opk. On the flip side, my friend just found out she's having a girl dtd once too. She wasn't ttc so it was a shock.
So sorry to hear AF arrived for Surgena and p4p, really hoping you ladies get your bfp next month!
LilPumpkin, my cm actually didnt really change during the 2ww. It has started to increase a bit in the last day or 2, but not by much and I am 18dpo. Also, if you had your attempt on Monday there egg was either fertilized or not. Dtd now wont change or effect that.....so have at it!!
Isn't that the HARDEST thing EVER?! It's just to be such a perfect balance! I think you should post the question to Atomic, but if I were you, I'd go for it. You've done so much to sway already with the diet & Clomid, I really think you'd have a GREAT chance at a girl anyway!
I am SO GLAD you're back on track and that things are looking up for you now. You have a plan!! :) So exciting!! One of my closest girlfriends has Crohn's and she amazes me every day....you guys are super strong ladies ♥
And I'm also very glad you're back...now don't go anywhere!! ;) lol
Thank you beadin. I really appreciate it! I decided to take it. Atomic and I have been discussing and she feels strongly I need to take it. Sometimes I go off line for a few days when I find myself getting really sad. I'm good now and will be sticking here with you!
SO glad you got that straightened out :) and you can feel confident about your plan. I think that's a big part of the battle!
And GOOD...I'm glad you're back. No getting sad! We're on the right track now. :)
Even though it didn't work out for me this month, I'm grateful to know that I'll be in good company next month with you and several other lovely ladies! :)
who knows why i am posting this on here ;-s
to test or not to test 7dpo tomorrow...getting tempted....or setting myself up for disapointment?
Fish, I'm sure I'll get beat up for this, LOL....but I would say don't test just yet. It would be VERY rare to get a positive that early...implantation is usually 6-10 days post ovulation and a HPT couldn't pick it up for a couple of days after that.
And I can tell you from experience....especially with watching the other ladies get BFPs, it's incredibly discouraging to see a stark white test. In fact, I'm trying to be positive right now, but I am so sad. I really thought with all of my symptoms that this was it, but apparently the vitex can cause pregnancy symptoms. :(
UGH...it just hit me all of a sudden! :( I feel like crying.
I am sorry you are so down Beadin! Your chart looks great so don't worry about vitex! I was on vitex too and the second month I was on it, I had every pregnancy symptom under the sun. Then the next cycle (my BFP cycle), I only had CM and then by CD10 had all the pregnancy symptoms. My fingers are still crossed for you!!!
We need some more positive thoughts on this thread!!!! Just remember it ain't over until AF shows and not everyone gets early BFPs! Cheer up ladies!!!!!! NO AF!
oh beadin so sorry really feel i will be joining you next week ;-S
after last month my plan was to wait until af over due, however as i o'd late i'm thinking of doing a test fri at 11dpo as we're going away camping for the weekend and i wanna pack meat for the bbq ;-S and then i'll know should i not need to pack the tampax! my temps aren't that high.......
Thanks my BeachyGirl...you're too sweet! Xx
Is increased sense of smell a side effect of vitex too? It just seems too early for me to be experiencing this. But my hubby keeps saying I'm smelling things that he or my boys don't notice or even smell at all.
Crossing fingers for you, Fish...XX
Big hugs Beadin X
beadin and p4p I'm so sorry girls - i really thought you guys would be in the august mega month :(
Im so sorry you guys are hurting - i know what it feels like. Try and keep the hope up girls - its really all we have got. Did you know (random fact) that hope is actually the strongest of all human emotions, even stronger then fear!
Harness that hope to try and create some positive energy so that the next month can be all ours!
As hard as it is, everything is always easier from behind a smile, so try and look to the next month knowing confidently that this will happen, and we will all get out bfp's - hopefully sooner rather then later.
Hopendream - good to see you again :) I would take the medication to increase your lining - i think thats super important, as AS says, you won't get your DG if you don't get pregnant at all. Im taking soy now - which is supposed to sway blue, and also having to take some zinc and iron tabs - which again sway blue.
Biggest swayer is diet, so as long as you stick to that then you will still have a super strong sway!
Good luck!!
