You deserve a girlie and a medal, 31 weeks that is amazing, I only managed 12 weeks strict but had to add eggs and one portion of red meat per week as my cycles went a bit wacky! good luck and pink dust, I am swaying pink also! XQuote:

FX for you though, Momamia! I hope it means you have a sticky bean snuggling in nice and tight!!

That is good news XX. So happy that you are continuing TTC with us - and even maximising your odds with Clomid. I might try it again too. Do you start next month? And will you wean off BF beforehand?
I'll start Clomid next month. I was told I don't need to wean, since I plan on taking it at night and my DS3 only nurses once overnight. I'm taking it because my prolactin levels are 3X higher than they should be, even with breastfeeding. If you look at my charts, you see I gear up to ovulate before I actually do. My RE said this happens when prolactin levels are too high. Good news is Clomid lowers them but not completely like Bromocriptine, so my milk won't dry up and I can continue to breastfeed.

GirlieCat - It's good that you got another attempt in, and still stayed with the e4d pattern. :)
Goodluck! I know someone who took it breastfeeding so I'm sure it is ok... although she conceived twins but does have pcos so her chances of twins from clomid is higher I think. The twins are boys but I think she conceived 1st cycle and no swaying. Her first is a girl and I think it was the 5th clomid cycle so I would say the clomid sway factor would have overruled her boy friendly lifestyle.Quote:

Af definitely started. :( I'm not really surprised. It's my first period after my miscarriage. Now I can call and schedule my ultrasound with my FS. So it's actually a good thing because I can move on from my miscarriage and think ahead to my injectables cycle in October. 😃
Momamia, my first period after mc was really weird too. It came early
But awesome news on the injectables, that will be so good !
I took another OPK last night, and it was even darker than the morning.
We DTD morning, and afternoon - just cos my hubbie was home on a Monday and that never happens lol.
Thing is, this morning I felt ovulation pains happen.
I am hoping that his swimmers are still hanging around in there lol
Hope that not doing it in the evening doesn't mean we missed a chance
Mrs- swimmers should def still be there :) hasn't been that long! It's good OPK got darker as LH will always be higher at night so id say you are def ovulating and be looking to start the 2ww soon :)
Awww thanks for reassuring me !Quote:

Going to try so hard to hold out for day 14
You have such a great attitude. That is definitely going to help you sway girl. I am happy you get to try the injectables. So hopeful this is the thing that gets you your pink sticky bean.Quote:

Not to kill anyones opinion or research on positive attitudes but i have to say that diet is going to be a much bigger influence than positivity..i am probably one of the most negative people you could meet and still have 3 girls...lol...honestly im a real downer 90% of the time.
edit: really when you think about it..this post proves it. LOL..again i dont want anyone to feel rained on!
Hahahahah that made me laugh.Quote:

So you're right diet is the one
I think for us "boy moms" it's less about positivity and more about control. Letting go and letting what will be be is hard. Not that "girl moms" can't be control freaks too. ;(
We had a play date this morning and literally all of the people I hang out with have a daughter who is younger than my DS2. On one hand I can't wait to have another baby and on the other I am worried that if it happens right away it means I haven't swayed hard enough.
Rain down Burakoam!!Quote:

I'm only 3 dpo, and already symptom spotting. [emoji1] I know it's not possible to feel anything from a possible pregnancy yet, but I can't help myself. Today, I noticed some weird twinges in my lower abdomen, and a strawberry pop tart tasted funny and different. Lol. Anyone else doing the same thing?
Katt - last month I drove myself crazy with symptoms lol
I was like 'Things taste metallic', or 'I have a cold' , and then 'I feel nauseous'
Sadly was not a BFP, but I 100% felt all those things.
Twinges could be the end of Ovulation maybe ?
Am really trying not to symptom spot as it has added further to my disappointment when af has arrived. I have been absolutely convinced some months that I was pregnant due to symptoms, hunger, nausea. Twinges, sore boobs and exhaustion. Unfortunately, for me the signs of af are the same! This month I just have the usual tender boobs, increased appetite and tiredness but no more than other months and have a wee pot belly, always a sign it af.

GirliePlease
it's so difficult not to do it though lol.
I get so obsessed.
Good luck girlie, hope it is not AF and you get a nice BFP this month
I'll be joining this thread soon! Our first attempt will be in just a few days!! Eeekk

goodluck everyone! so glad to see people who are in the 2ww with me (again!)
I will be joining this thread soon too. Feel that O is around the corner within the next seven days. Don't feel any sexual desire yet, but I have nausea (really annoying) and feel tired. I am only cd 7 so really too early to feel anything, but my period have been weird since my MC in July. Nausea before O is new to me. Will attempt in a few days. Was not able to detect Pos OPK last cycle. Good luck to everyone who is about to attempt and those in the 2 weeks waiting.

Yay, we have more people joining us!!
I agree with the others that it is hard to not symptom spot, but the symptoms of early pregnancy are the same symptoms of AF. It does mean that you have good hormone production so a BFP should happen soon!
AFM, my temp dropped this morning and I had some spotting that has stopped. Not sure what to make of it. I am 8dpo, and I'm hoping AF stays away for a few days yet. I did have implantation bleeding with DS3.
FX we see some BFPs soon!!

My Ovulation Chart
Fingers crossed it is implantation bleeding xxforhubby, though maybe you would prefer to wait for clomid?
I noticed am funny about smells today, which I have had before in pregnancy but unfortunately in the last few months before af. Dreamsister I wonder if we are just now so aware of our cycles that we know approx when we o, and we then also notice symptoms, or we paid more attention to them!
My temps are up and staying high but ff still not giving me crosshairs? Anyone else had that? I had a temp rise one day a few days before this current pattern were it has continued to rise over the course of a few days, could that be throwing it off?
Who is testing soon? I'm living vacariously since I'm still waiting for AF.
Hey girls! It's been a rough week. My HCG levels were being checked every 2 days last week and they were barely going down. My midwives and OB started to get concerned that I had an ectopic pregnancy so I had an emergency ultrasound on Monday. They weren't able to identify where the pregnancy was at but thankfully I started my miscarriage later that evening. My HCG levels went way down to 22 on Monday so that was a relief.
I had an appt scheduled with an RE on Tuesday but unfortunately I had to cancel it as I learned that my insurance has zero coverage for infertility. So annoying.
The OB I saw told me to wait a full cycle to TTC again, which is different advice than what all of the other OBs and midwives have told me (could try right away). I think we are going to try this month anyways.
The only item I am debating upon is whether or not to use Clomid again (would be my 4th cycle; swaying purposes only). Initially I was planning on changing it up from CD 3-7 to CD 5-9 to help improve my egg quality. However, after doing a lot of reading it appears most docs do not recommend Clomid immediately following a miscarriage and make their patients went until their first period after the miscarriage to begin again. Does anyone have any advice/experience with this? I took Clomid this last cycle after having had a chemical. I know miscarriages help sway pink but I am concerned that the Clomid plus miscarriage might be too much for my body?
Jen because the doctor wouldnt start my clomid until they induced a fresh period with progesterone (i had just had a period 2 weeks ago) i would say that you should skip a month of clomid and wait a cycle before starting it back up. wether you TTC without the clomid this first cycle is totally up to you though. it seems typical of doctors to not want you to start clomid until you have a period without it.
Sorry jenc, sorry I have no advice either but think you had some good advicefrom other ladies, be gentle on yourself
I feel af is on the way :-(, I feel crampy, like I usually do. aaaaahhhh why do I get my hopes up? I go from am I aren't I pregnant, to please let my lp be 9 days or longer, to lp of 7 days oh no, to maybe it implantation bleeding, maybe it's a lots of implantation bleeding, when this continues on maybe it implanted late! Such a long drawn our process. To finally accepting it is just I did not get pregnant Again! Darn, on a positive note least I do waste a fortune on pregnancy tests, good luck, everyone who is testing and for those,in 2 ww x
Should read I do not waste alot on pregnancy tests x
How is everyone getting on?
I'm not swaying anymore, but still hanging around because you ladies are so amazing!
9DPO and I've had two BFNs, but tested too early before, definitely. I ordered more HPTs that will be here tomorrow and that should be slightly more accurate, I think...
I haven't had many symptoms except for hungry more than usual, I think, mild cramping off and on and I usually don't have cramps at this point in my cycle. Also crazy vivid dreams that usually only happen when I'm preggo. But, I don't think I'm preggo! Haha!
Hi Jenc- sorry his week has been so rough for you. I would skip this next cycle on clomid. Atomic has said that clomid stays in your system long enough that it could does still influence and sway the month after you take it. I have read several ladies who got pregnant the first cycle off clomid. I would judge your body and emotions on if you are ready to try right away, but for me I don't think I would be patient enough to take a cycle off even if they doctor told me too.Quote:

If it is correct then my timing socks this month as we bd on Monday evening but that would have been too late, will try and photo my chart and see if people can make sense of it, how do you add your chart here?

Not great news from my blood draw, progesterone results indicate no ovulation, am gutted, together with my borderline result last month, something is definitely up. I did wonder as am not too knowledgeable about these things, I think I had a delayed ovulation, my body geared up to O and then bailed on cd 14, I got a positive on the clear blue digital ovulation last thursday and I think I ovulated on Friday cd 19. But I also had my blood draw that day, if the blood draw happened before ovulation could that explain the result? Also ff only gave me crosshairs from Monday cd 22, going to start a new thread and ask atomic but keen to know what you ladies think x
Faint BFP at 10dpo. Going to retest with a digital and cross my fingers that this one sticks!!
