when did you get your BFP?

YAY for crosshairs, rainbow!!!

I O'd (and conceived) on July 8th. Since I was never, ever expecting to get preg, I never took any tests until exactly 2 weeks later (July 22nd). I felt really off that evening and a bit sick. I was wondering where in the world AF was since I should have gotten it by then. So....I took a test that evening and, KABOOM! The test line wasn't really dark but it sure wasn't faint either.

I'm hoping you got it this first time b/c that 2ww is like a 2 year wait sometimes! Especially when you're realllllly wanting to be preg.

:luck: :cheer: :luck:

That's good news Rainbow!

Wow, FF must be in a good mood today lol, I got crosshairs too to my surprise!
That´s great rainbow, now you can relax :) and wait..

Yes, I have less ewcm since swaying, used to have a lot for 3 days, now it´s mainly creamy and a little bit of ewcm on one day :)

OotB - sometimes I think that's the best way to spend the 2ww! Although my 2ww only used to be 11 days, hoping it's 10+ this time as it was only 8 days last cycle. You're right that it feels like a very long time, though.

Thanks Zana :)

Indira it seems we might have ovulated on the same day! Little Haloween babies! lol

Firstly Rainbow I skipped ahead to the end and read that you did O finally so I won't address the initial post, just give you a big congrats and GOOD LUCK (also to Indira!!!) :pray:

I must be horrible thinking you've wasted a month in time and money. It's so annoying. A few people on the smog thread have missed Ov after asking there DP/H's to abstain for such a long time. Or had to write off a month because things didn't go to plan It's just a shame that our bodies are sometimes unpredictable. TTC can be hard enough without throwing swaying into the mix.

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is no RULE that you must be on the LE Diet for a given amount of time. Your blood sugar and pH will drop almost instantly from the diet and supps, so if need be you can start the diet even as soon as the month you are going to try (so like, 2 weeks). Most people don't get pg that first month anyway. Is it ideal, no, but if you're in a big hurry or don't have much weight to lose, it may be an option to consider.

Testosterone/estrogen levels do take time to drop, but if you're doing a lot of other things to sway you prob. won't conceive the first month, and if you stick to the diet that month you'll end up with a full 6 weeks on diet without even really meaning to.

It depends on the kind of stress you're under, your body's response to the physical demands of the stress, and your mental attitude towards it.

I think FF will have a hard time pinpointing OV for me this cycle because we changed the clocks right before I was about to OV, and my little one wakes up an hour earlier (well for him it´s the same time) and last night he woke up at 4 and 5 :sigh:

No I don´t worry about the lack of weight loss anymore. I didn´t get pregnant on the months I did loose weight and I really couldn´t loose more. I had to gain some because my bmi was under 18 so I was very scared I would stop ovulating and never get pregnant. Plus it was getting a problem with friends and relatives worrying I was anorexic (I really looked that way) and DH refuses to DTD if I didn´t gain some. And I usually have a couple of cheat days in 2ww that gives me a little that I loose before I OV
I think my bodies still thinks times are hard after 6 months of LE, to me that weights more than the lack of weight loss.
I still feel like I´m in girl zone, because my cm and temperatures are so different and I take the fact that it is taking longer to conceive as a good sign for a pink sway.
I´m not always this positive, that´s just because I think I O-ed yesterday-ish and I´m happy I got some sperm in me lol so at least we had an attempt! Then when AF shows up I usually get really depressed and fed up with swaying.
At the moment I´m in peace with my sway even if it´s far from perfect, I don´t worry about what could be better, because now I just want to get pregnant knowing I did a lot to take changes up to 50/50 and that is enough for me right now, just can´t wait to have another tiny baby in my arms :awe:

I agree totally indira - after 6 months of LE diet your body can't help but think times are hard LOL.

I wish I could make this easier, but I really do believe it's the best way to sway.
