My last 2 clomid cycles had less O pain. I think it was because I took it earlier (4 to 8).
I was going to try 3 to 7 this cycle beforw all the craziness happened. Reminder to everyone to take a hpt before starting fertility meds!
I'm still going to hang around here as I don't really feel ready for a due date post as I'm doubtful still that this will go well.
Am keeping everything crossed for you purple, Indictions seem to be suggesting that everything is moving in the right direction but what a horrible wait and see situation! Sending hugs and strength to you x
4 dpo today and I am not the least bit excited or planning to test early or anything of the sort. My chemical last month has left me depressed and sucked out all my happiness.
I'm nearly ready to quit my swaying completely and do what feels right and intuitive to me and maybe embrace that I am meant to grow gorgeous, healthy, strong boys.
My dream of a girl is starting to fade...
We bd last night but not overly hopeful as no temperature spike and no peak on clear blue fertility monitor, even fertility friend is confused. Am like you lissastick, feel really really discouraged today, have an inkling it will be another wasted month and am surrounded by pregnant women and new borns, this is tough! Anyone else find that when they started to sway there cycles went out of wack? X
Hi Lisa, I am so sorry for your CP.
Maybe going with your gut and not stressing about it will sway pink for you this time around! Don't give up! We will have our BFP and they will stick!
I have been researching about early tests like FRER, but I'm also afraid I get disappointed so maybe I will just wait it out (althouh all this wait kills me!)
My AF is due on the 19th July and I'll wait for AF not to come to take a test. With my first pregnancy I had implantation bleeding 2 days prior to AF and then I had sore boobs for a week and a half before a pregnancy test came positive and I took 3!!! Implantation happened really late or I ovulated later then I thought...
So waiting, and keeping my mind busy I feel it's the best option for now. Fingers crossed!

I know how you feel Lisa. I was feeling the same way last week. I'm feeling better now and very positive about this cycle but I know I'll be really down it if doesn't work out again. I got my first flashing smiley today so my attempt should be on Sunday.
We've put a lot of time and energy and emotion into this sway process and it's so frustrating that the bpf doesn't come right away but, I agree with everyone's encouragement, we just have to keep on keeping on, there are our future selves on the other side of our sways that are happy and enjoying their lives however they turn out. It just sucks to be in the middle of it.

good luck to you all in the TWW, I'm a little behind as only cd12 today, attempts will be probably sunday/Monday.
I totally agree with the cycles off whack, mine were 31 days ov day 16 for last 12 months. FF knew what it was doing. I started supps, vitamins and diet and ive had 4 crazy cycles. all different, getting positive OPKs at different times and different lengths. I'm struggling with getting attempts in as its hard to predict when the time will fall. And I cant depend on my EWCM or OPKs as I seem to get almost positives for days then they just go negative. so stressful.
I hope your right about the giving up, I have felt like that every month but more so this month!!
Hoe everyone has a nice weekend. Good luck if anyone is testing and the rest of us better just sit on our hands xxx
Baby2016baby since you are swaying boy could you just BD every other day so maybe you wouldn't have to worry about OPK's or EWCM and then it would be less stress? One nice thing about boy sways is there can not be too many attempts.
I was thinking the same thing tfahn!
Inforthree what do think caused the change to more positive view? Nessa84, I love your positive attitude, I think I need to rethink things and in the words of frozen " let it go let it go" well just a bit! Going to go exercise for an hour, that usually helps what I really want to do is get a meat pizza, top it with a cake, eat the lot and wash it down with ten cups of my beloved tea, which I miss so much!
Anyone else feeling positive about attempt? Other reason I feel rubbish is I had the big o, was not planned! Anyone else struggling with limiting themselves to having sex a few times per month?
Hang in there ladies! Trust me, you all are doing better than you think! I believe when we are TTCing and swaying, we have a tendency to pick apart and focus on the things that we struggle with, which prevents us from seeing the big picture. It's never as bad as we make it seem! We all could do something a bit better, but we have to ask ourselves at what cost? We aren't perfect and swaying is HARD! Instead, let's focus on what we are doing well! Then, let's celebrate! We are making real changes toward getting our DG!

My DH is gone for 5. Whole. Days. So I'm drowning myself in a couple of glasses of moscato wine while my DS3 naps and I can FINALLY empty the dishwasher and fold the laundry, while my older boys are at swim lessons with their Grandparents. Yep. I'm drinking alone! Thank GOD I'm swaying girl and this is my cheat for the day! I couldn't manage to exercise today, but I. Don't. Care! Knowing my luck, I'll get a positive opk tomorrow, and he won't be back until Monday! The one time I'm hoping for a delayed O and probably won't get it and I'll end up ovulating early! Gulp. I'm pouring me another glass! See, you all don't have it that bad! I'm a single parent to 3 kids for the next 4 days! Say a prayer for me and wish me luck [emoji6]! And to think I actually want one more, hahaha! It's rather comical [emoji23]!

I'm not sure. I guess just being closer to the attempt and knowing that bc I had a CP last month it almost worked out so at least things are happening a bit. It's probably hormones too, now that I'm paying attention I really notice how I'm much more positive before o and more depressed during AF. I'm really really hoping this is our month. I'm not feeling more positive about trying and trying endlessly. I'm just hoping it won't come to that. Fingers crossed for us ladies! I'll be on vacation for the next week so that will help pass the time. I'll be able to test shortly after I get back!Quote:

XX - Good luck looking after the kids on your own for a few days. It sounds like you have a bit of help from the grandparents so that is good.
Inforthree - a vacation sounds like a great way to pass the TWW, enjoy your break!
Girlieplease - don't worry too much about having the big O, I don't think it is really that much of a boy sway factor. Have you thought about doing e4d or e3d if you are struggling with not enough sex? Also it may help you stress less about missing your ovulation.
baby2016baby - I agree with the others and doing e2d is great for a boy sway. This is what I did for my boys. I did chart and do OPKs too so I could know when I ovulated but I wasn't swaying, just trying really hard to conceive a baby.
Anyone testing soon?
Xxforhubby you could be our motivational coach! That is sods law about your dh been away.
Purple, last month I moved from one attempt to e4d's because I could not predict o, think am going to do similar this month. How are you doing anyway purple? Keeping everything crossed for you x
I'm doing ok :) I started progesterone but trying not to get too hopeful. Hopefully in a week or so I will have more idea which direction this pregnancy is going!
I'm keeping you in my prayers Purple! I'll be stalking for updates!!

Thanks guys. I think I'd we get nowhere this month we will try that next time. My dh is releasing every 2/3 days one way or another. Just previously been told to wait for pos opk so got that in my head lol. Well for 2nd month running my cb had gone straight to peak. So no high days again. But my cheapies are still negative! We're just going to start attempts today and hope for best. Will try do next three days. Yey. Sick already lol
Thinking of you purple xxx got everything crossed x
Good luck with kids xx. Sadly my hubby works 6am till 7pm do I'm on my own pretty much all the time when it comes to kids :( and the thought of 4 scares me alot.
I think your right we need a posative attitude although some weeks and months can be challenging. I guess it's because ultimately we are not really in control of anything. We just like to think we are with tests and diets and temps etc. This is my most relaxed month so far with regards to diet and excercise etc. Although I don't feel hopeful I'm starting to feel better in a way. I can't count the amount of stories I've read where people give up and fall the next month!!
Enjoy your vacation inforthree it will surely make the time easier xxx
Hi everyone, I'm cd23 today no idea how many dpo I am as I didn't test with opks this month.
Am going to try to hold out until cd27 (Thursday ) to do a pregnancy test -if af hasn't arrived.
Is anybody else testing this week? X

Ladies, I am getting some weird symptoms but i don't remember if this is pregnancy related at all or not. I am currently 4dpo and I have been VERY gassy and bloated, and a bit nauseous and tired. But I honestly didn't think anything of it since I don't know if any symptoms can come about this early. But then just now, in the washroom there was a small mucousy blood clot type thing and when I wiped, it was fresh red blood. Not much at all but enough for me to notice. Should I be worried?
Nessa84, had this stopped? Could it be implantation bleeding? I had this with ds2.
Am not sure what is happening with my cycles, we had our one attempt on Thursday am, but no peak on cb monitor so shifting to e4d's so attempting early Monday, my boobs are so sore and getting slight nursing aversion could thus be a sign that my body is trying to o? How else is attempting now? Or is in 2 ww? Gl everyone. I have an hour exercise to do before bed! :-(
Now I am having EXTREME back pain. Like its really really bad. Ive never had this. even with my labour. Could this be period signs? I never got this with period tho but could be different now after DS. I have only had 2 periods since delivering DS.
Not sure Nessa84, it could be period related but would that not be early for period? Seems more like pregnancy related/ implantation related? After my attempt last Thursday I have no symptoms but sore breasts, not hopeful for this cycle but attempting tonight anyway!
Jennypenny how exciting only a few more days to wait. How you feeling? Any signs or symptoms?
Omg omg OMG Omg you guys!!!!!!
It's POSITIVE!!!!!!! I'm 4dpo and somehow it detected it and OMG!!!!!!
IM PREGNANT!!!
Congratulations nessa!!! That is one early BFP!!!
I am quietly joining you guys here... Positive OPK late last night... DTD Friday Am and this AM... Swayed boy... Eeek. Month 1 begins for me...
Nessa - - do you have a pic of your test? And what brand? Is it faint or dark? You must of O'd much earlier than you thought. Are you charting?
Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk
Oh wow Nessa, congats! I think you are pregnant from the last cycle if you are only 4dpo.
I am concerned about the extreme back pain so I think you should get it checked out to make sure its not ectopic. Is the pain more on one side? Sorry for the negativity but I'm currently paranoid about mine being ectopic so I google the symptoms a lot.
When was your last period?
Omg Nessa84, congratulations 🎊 that is amazing news. Agree with the others no way that you got a positive pregnancy test at 4 dpo, you must have been pregnant before then! Hope you have a healthy and happy nine months!
Oooh congratulations nessa!
Is it a good strong positive showing? R u going to retest?
If pain has continued , definitely go to docs to get a check up.
Cd24 for me, not reading into any symptoms this time as I realise I get pregnancy symptoms when af is about to appear anyway! Just hope it stays away this month!!!

Hi everyone!
Congratulations!!
I am on cd 7 today, I used to ovulate between cd 10 and cd 13 before having my youngest daughter but I'm not sure now so I'm taking ov sticks every day looking out for my surge, we are trying to sway blue!
Fingers crossed x
Exciting jennypenny, when would you expect af to arrive? Am totally the same as you, I get same symptoms for af as pregnancy and af was 4 days late last month just to add to the annoyance of the two week wait!
Dreamingblue16 welcome and have my blue dust, I have one dd and two ds's swaying pink, last baby, last chance!
Af due on Friday, but for the last few months have spotted for 3 days before it actually starts.
How frustrating being 4 days late last month, that must have been frustrating!!!
I'm going to try to wait for Thursday before testing, if I'm not spotting by then x

3 DPO today and will start testing next Monday, really going to try and resist testing any earlier this cycle.
Yes it was a very very strong positive and then I took a clear blue test and it said 2-3 weeks so I must have been pregnant while I was trying to get pregnant...... I posted this in another thread so I didn't clutter this one up. I've tried to add a picture but I can't seem to attach it I'm not sure how to do it... I am completely clueless about my cycle as I had no idea I was ovulating when I did.
Baby dust to all you ladies!!
Congratulations nessa!!!!!!
Congratulations nessa
Good luck when you test jennypenny.
Tfahn I'm just behind you I'm 1dpo today. I want to wait as late as possible this month after testing early last month a spending last few days in a stinking mood.
Hello dreamingblue and burakoem nice to see more blue swayers best of luck to you both xxx
Hope everyone is well. Bring on the bfps!!!
