Great attempt, maybe! Lots of baby dust to you!
argh my trousers keep falling down! :( weight loss is definitely noticeable now!
LOL, rainbow! I had to buy two whole new wardrobes while on the diet - first one in size 2, then when those started falling off, another whole wardrobe in size 0! I bought almost everything used, so at least I didn't spend too much.
Hello everyone! :)
I hope everyone is having a good Monday. :)
I was just looking at FF and my chart gave me crosshairs for Friday. ??? I don't really think that I ovulated until Saturday. What do you all think please? The CM notes are not accurate to this cycle as I am on Clomid and am SO dry... this is what my cycle was like before clomid.

Thank you for any help!!
I'm no expert, but I agree that you probably O'd on Saturday. You know your body best. FF kept changing my O date and eventually settled on the day I knew all along was O day - maybe the same thing will happen to you.
Thank you Mocha!!! :) :) :)
I'm not that tiny yet, Mocha! Currently wearing US size 6 trousers (and US size 4 tops). I do have some of my old pre-pregnancy trousers (in childrens sizes, age 11-12) but my tummy is not as flat as it used to be so I'm avoiding wearing those because they're lower cut around the waist...
HH - I think OV could easily have been on the Friday or Saturday. Friday does look like the best candidate to me, but it might depend on what your next couple of temps are. One more high temp and OV day might move to the Saturday.
Good luck Madicane, hope the 2ww goes fast for you, FX FX
Thank you rainbowflower!!! :) I absolutely LOVE you avatar picture by the way!!! :) :)
aww thanks, I like it too!
Hey ladies! It looks like there is a lot of O action in here so hopefully that results in healthy pregnancies.
I hate to just drop in and leave, but work has been stressful (co-worker issues) and AF is a day late. I haven't had a late period in over a year even with the PCOS. I took a pregnancy test which was negative so I'm wondering if PCOS is the culprit, but we'll see. Will keep you ladies updated. It would be a big surprise to end up pregnant though because we aggressively TTA this cycle since we aren't ready to sway yet.
Oooo, fresas- I hope you get the answer that will be best for your family. It's frustrating to be super-regular and then have it change. I used to be like a clock until I had kids. Then it changed for me, but I was still pretty regular, but then this last cycle I got really messed up. Anyway, I hope you get an answer soon and that it's the answer that's best for your family.
Today is DH's interview. I'm sure we won't know anything today, but at least DH will have a feeling for how it went. Then we wait... we should know by the end of the month. I'm at peace with staying or going. I just want to know which it's going to be so we can either resume TTC/swaying or put it off and start packing.
perhaps the change in your cycles means your fertility is lowering and the swaying is working?
I agree. My cycles went all wonky after a couple of months on the diet. I took it as a good sign about decreased fertility, though it was definitely frustrating not being able to predict O anymore.Quote:

One month we dtd 9 days in a row (after having dh release for 7 days before that) but that was the most we ever had to do it.
we've had the same trouble with late OV-ing, that's why I researched the compressed frequent release and you can still drastically lower sperm count (i.e. more than halve it) just by DTD within 8hrs of a previous release. I do wonder if that's more effective than daily BD as my DH says that after 24hrs his "quantity" is nearly back up to normal levels, whereas if he releases within less time it is drastically lessQuote:

I remember when you posted about this and I had thought a lot about it. I do think that the compressed BD does reduce the sperm count more drastically and would sway more pink. My OB instructed us to DTD everyday for 7 days while on clomid and I just can't imagine if daily BD were to drastically reduce the sperm count that the instructions would be different. We did DTD everyday for 9 days this time. I hope for a success and I am starting to feel much less concerned about the gender.Quote:

Have a great day everyone! :)
Hi ladies. So after 70 days of no O I finally called the doc and she gave my provera to start af. I never got full flow and it was just spotting but my doc said that counts and put me on clomid at cd5. So I am finally into a new cycle (cd6 now). Really hope the clomid helps o come before day 20 this time. I go in for an u/s next Friday so she can make sure there are follicles maturing or something like that. Glad to be done with that crazy 3 month cycle!
Good luck Chicky, you've waited long enough so I really hope this is your month!
Did you guys see that Dr H is recommending releasing every day for improving low sperm count?!
Hi chicky, glad you´re back in business:), good to hear your doctor is helping you that way. Good luck!
I am going to check that out! Thank you Zanacal!Quote:

Anyone else attempting this weekend?
That is exciting indigo!! :) Good Luck!!! :)Quote:

We are putting the brakes on TTC for now. DH got a job offer in another state!!!! We're going out to dinner tonight to discuss the offer, if we take it, when to move, etc.
congratulations to your DH!
Thank you rainbowflower! We are very excited about this opportunity :)
Good luck indigoviolet! I felt the same for our attempt because I got my +OPK earlier than expected! Are you having just one attempt?
That's great news squamgirl, well done to your DH.
Thanks for all the luck ladies :HH: I need it! trying to keep ph down as havn't O'd yet. Hopefully lots of girlie swimmers waiting for egg to pop either tonight or tomorrow :fingers:
Ended up having 2 attempts, fri and tonight, fri was a 10 day abstinence don't know if that makes any difference since we have dtd again before O?
Squamgirl- exciting news, have you made a decision whether he will take the job?
He is taking the job :) He starts in just over three weeks. In the meantime, we'll be meeting with realtors, getting the house ready to sell, etc. If anyone has any tips- please share. This is our first time selling a home.
wow congrats Squamgirl, hope the selling & move goes well, good luck!
I'm so excited I could burst! I don't have a huge number of friends IRL, but two of my female friends were expecting and both were due around a week ago (within a few days of each other), and BOTH have given birth today to little baby boys! I can't wait to meet them! :D :D scrummy little newborns! :D
Awww - you're going to be so broody!!
Hey all, guess I am out of the running for TTC in october. It was a wacky month. My body seemed all ready to O on CD 15--+OPK, watery CM, CP high and open, temp dip.... and then nothing. Well I got sick so I think that delayed it. Here I am on CD 22 and I think I O'ed yesterday. I got another +OPK and watery CM and today there was a BBT rise, we shall see what the temp is tomorrow. Anyway with traveling and being sick we totally missed O.
lol zana I already am!
carmella - if you could BD this morning I really think you have a good chance, especially if still got a pos OPK
feeling quite baffled today, my CBFM finally gave me my first "high" so I thought "yay! I should OV within the next week!".
I'd taken my temp overnight so popped that into my chart and then my chart decided to tell my I actually OVed 6 days ago (!!).
I have a sore throat, so perhaps that's just what's caused my temp to be slightly higher than normal. Alternatively it could have been high because I've been BF more than normal up until the last few days when DS was poorly again, and I know that BF makes my temps go a bit haywire. It certainly isn't up to my usual post-OV temp range.
At the time it thinks I OVed I was getting EWCM but "low" on CBFM and no build up on OPKs like I normally get, and if I did OV then I had an accidental 3-day cut off which is disappointing because it means that there's less than a 10% chance of getting pregnant and I feel gutted about that seeing as this is my only TTC month before stopping for a break over Christmas to regain some weight so it feels like all my diet-efforts would have been wasted.
I've removed the temp anyway, just in case... and will proceed as if I haven't OVed yet. Plan is to get DH to release each evening, start using RepHresh tomorrow, and then the morning I get my "peak" on my CBFM we shall have our one attempt so that should be about 10hrs after his previous release.
I normally get 4-5 high days before the peak.
Our plan might be hindered as my sister has decided to come visit this weekend and my mum wants to visit next week... but fingers crossed I haven't OVed yet and we can get the timing just right!
Please wish us luck and pink dust!
Luck and pink dust coming your way rainbow!
