Melliflous May (part 2)

Thankyou Pbn for going above and beyond to help us blue swayers and I really appreciate xxforhubby for your advise. You ladies are the best. It all makes complete sense.
Dh has no problem with eod and 3 attempts after pos opk in a perfect world which as we all know doesn't exist. We havebn ttc for the last two cycles and those fertile days have brought us the maximum stir up of emotions.
So, I am thinking of having 3 attempts at pos opk however the only one that I m most uncertain about is the am attempt. But We will still have two attempts in the fertile window and I m thinking of using Preseed too. I do advanced cb digi and wondfos. So far I have had two days of flashing before solid smiley. I know eod is advised but I think I feel more safe with 3 attempts at pos opk though it hasn't worked so far[emoji53]. Sorry Pbn. I m just a scaredy cat when it comes to eod. [emoji853]
I m now going to try as hard as possible to get those attempts in.
Thankyou again Pbn and Xxforhubby!

No apologies sky!! I could tell how reluctant you were about eod hence the 'your sway, your way' reminder ❤ You got this and this WILL be your cycle! Two attempts is awesome so if that's what you end up having then perfect!! I think your plan to try for 3 pm bd's starting pm of pos opk is perfect for you if the am bd doesn't pan out. Preseed will be great for your sway but just be very wary of how much you use as if you use too much dh may not get the friction he needs to feel to release 😆 I'd go with no more than 1-2cm in applicator, probably closer to 1cm for first attempt. However if you have plenty of cm then that is even better. I'd use the preseed only if cm is scant :) eeeeekk!!! This is so exciting you are getting so close!! You start using you digi cd9 right?

Yes. Will start using digi on cd9.

I'm only about an hour away from my blood draw. I've already been awake 4.5 hours and its only about to turn 8am. I might try and get stuck into housework today to take my mind off things....

Wow. Looks like u hardly slept. I can imagine being anxious. Keeping u in my thoughts and prayers. Fx for a healthy happy sticky bean.

Pbn: you just know how to cheer us up. Thank you! And i am not sure why you can't see it on my signature. That's weird...not sure how I can add. But here is the link https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6a8e52

mummy2boys: Thank you. i normally O around cd18 or 19. So it is 2 days late for me, hence the frustration hahaha. Hope it comes soon.

Pbn: seriously, i feel like you don't sleep at all. Keep us updated as soon as you get the results. We are anxiously waiting here as well :)

Sky and other blue swayers - I have to agree with Pbn3 and XX. My blue babies came from lots of BDing! :) DH and I have a high libido so the e4d and even the e3d was very tough for us to maintain for our girl sway. White TTC we have never worried about using protection ever.

I know I've asked before but kat and LMSM are you ladies charting? I cant remember.... but this will fix it. I've taking chart stalking to a whole new level 😂

No more bugging for chart links or screenshots and I'm sure I've forgotten someone??? I was at work on Tuesday and rang a supplier for an invoice and said "hi, it's Pbn from ___ (awkard silence) then laughter from us both because I had forgotten where I wss calling from 😂😂https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a82f154a87.jpg

Just dropped ds to school and heading to pathology now Ash. Is it night for you?

Pbn - How long after the blood draw will it take to get the results? You have so many of us thinking about u. Fx fx fx fx so so so tight.
This wait is killing me. [emoji52]

Nearly 6pm here

Ash: you were gone for a whole day! any new symptoms?

Pbn: you brought it to a whole new level hhahaha. Tell them to process quickly since hundreds of people are waiting for your result!

Skyblue: i think she said about 12 hours after the test

Nothing new here shinay sore bbs still and I get nauseous in the afternoons which is mild I think because I'm trying to stay active and workout a bunch. By a bunch I mean 45 minutes a day [emoji23][emoji23]!
I do agree with xx and whoever else said it we've had all boys and have a very active BD schedule and have never once bout a box of protection in the 12 years we've been together. [emoji4]. Dh did honestly try to slow it down this past cycle but I'm not to optimistic because it was still boy territory [emoji20]

@pbn3 have you heard how many fiveboys had?

Most likely one. Least likely two. My "second" attempt was very late at night the day of my temp rise. It's not as likely that was a viable attempt but anything is possible! According to my US at 21dpo, I most likely ovulated the day before my "second" attempt. That made my viable attempt either O-3 or O-2! I've never conceived from one of those attempts until now!

@pbn3 can't wait to see your numbers! FX my friend.
Holy moly the nausea and fatigue has arrived for me hard core this afternoon.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow thank you all for the well wishes, I truly adore you ladies ❤❤❤❤❤

So it's done and the wait truly begins. I apologised in advance (😂) to the receptionist for my phone calls that will be far too early and far too many chasing results and she said "it's no problem at all, I know exactly hoe you feel, 3 failed IVF cycles before my successful one, I know all about waiting for hcg results". I nearly burst into tears with her understanding.

@sky I'm going to start ringing after 4 hours and every hour after that. Will likely be closer to 6 -8 hours before I have a result but you never know! Might be a slow day in the lab. Plus its marked urgent so should get priority 😆

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Oh thankgod. I m going to be up until then. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
Pbn - I m so nervous. Can't imagine what u r going through. A big hug my friend. [emoji847][emoji847]


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Thank you sky! I don't know whether I want to cry or throw up 😂😂 both!!!

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Awwww. Hang in there sweets. It's going to be a good day. We are all here for you and waiting with u. Love!


https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2

Pbn, good luck...can't wait to hear the results! I'm sure everything is going to be totally fine - your lines looked GREAT!

Shannshaff, what do you consider "a lot" of BD? I really wish I could be like you ladies...I'm soooo okay with 1-2x/week, maybe less! :surprise:

Shinay, hang in there, I know how frustrating long cycles and negative opk's can be! But please listen to me as I learned it the hard way....don't overstress it!! I did that the cycle before last and ended up not O'ing until CD38 from the stress. It's not worth it - it will happen. Hugs!

Sky, good luck with the bd plan!!

Ash, hope you're feeling good otherwise! :)

Thanks max! Feeling scary good most of the times.
We told the boys tonight and my oldest says Dad will have another to wrestle with and I said well what if it's a girl. Lol he said I hope not that would mess everything up [emoji23]


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pbn - I'm not planning on temping. I can't find my thermometer and my husband already made fun of me for buying opks and preseed (just in case) bc I told him I wouldn't go extreme, ha! I do keep track of everything else on fertility friend though. Can I share my calendar if I'm a free user?? I tried to share with pbn3 but I seriously doubt that worked.

Max - I'm usually good with one/twice a week too, normal is relative [emoji12] I'm fine to step it up for a couple months too though!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And pbn - can't wait to hear your results!! I'm sure they are super high now!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ash that's hilarious!!

Kat yes you can share your link to ff chart. Go into the dropbox r/h side on ff homepage, select share chart and data, select create/view homepage then touch the web link you see. It will open in your web browser so copy the address in the browser address and paste into a message here :)

Ash hilarious!
My boys used to say all they wanted was a sister and now all of a sudden they say girls are all drama. [emoji23] We're going to try to wait until we know the gender to tell them. Try being the key word here!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dreamingella you really only have about 7 weeks left until you find out gender right? If I can't get the blood test I'll have to wait until July 22nd that's forever away! Did you get your second beta today?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep I got the second beta today but it's not rushed so I won't get the results until tomorrow morning which is probably around noon time for you.
July does feel like forever away but the kids will be out of school soon and then it will go faster!
My doc office reminded me that the first u/s is between 6-8 weeks when I insisted on being there on the 6 week mark. The same thing when we discussed the blood test, they said 8-10. But I pushed my "advanced age" and ectopic as reason to get it all done early. Plus it wasn't my nurse who knows me personally, just the scheduling person. They're usually pretty accommodating but there is still risk that I won't get the blood test done until the week of June 19th. I really want it the week of June 5th so we have results! Patience is not my strong suit!

Popping in to say heyyyyy!
Pbn-I KNOW it's going to be great! I know the wait probably feels like forever! It's approx 9:30 PM here & I may have to stay up late just so I can hear your news!! FX so hard!!!!
Max-Are you counting down? I am!! Can't wait for Fri-yay!
Sky-don't let your BD schedule stress you out. It does sound like there has been a lot of blue success with eod, but you have to do what makes you feel comfortable! It took me awhile to accept the 1 attempt for pink, but I'm rolling with it & praying for my girlie!!
Ash-that is too funny about what your ds said! They need a little sis to protect & treat like a princess [emoji146] You make beautiful boys, can you imagine what a beauty your girl will be!
Kat-I'm a free ff member too & you can share your chart. Not sure if I remember well enough to explain how to do it though [emoji848]
AFM-nothing new to report. Just moving along. Boys are going to grandma's for the night Friday, giving DH & I a date night. A little wine & dining in my future...and working on my e3d BD plans [emoji12] I need to make this work! I am off for the summer in 3 or so weeks. I think it would be so fun leaving work knowing that I'm pregnant & having a little secret all summer, then sharing when I'm back to work in August & already knowing gender...that is what I'm aiming for!! It seems like mostly coworkers who ask all the time "trying for the girl yet." I smile & say maybe sometime in the future...we'll see

Pbn - sent you a message with link!

Anyone else's kiddos start acting crazy when you think you want another one/TTC?! Mine have been terrible tonight!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh Kat1234, yes! I swear both my husband and I are like, "are we sure we want this?!" All kidding aside, my patience is thin. I've noticed that probably due to being in this mode and the diet and then the hormones. Be easy on yourself.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dreaming - good, glad we aren't the only crazy ones!! I'm not that great of a pregnant person so this could get interesting [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] IF I get pregnant!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it worked Katt!! I have added you to my stalking list [emoji102]

Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yep! The pg symptoms are just starting for me Kat. So this is going to get real interesting!
You'll get pregnant. You're part of Mellifluous May!!!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dreamingella I have zero patience that's y I pay for an extra u/s at 15 weeks for gender [emoji23]!
Lola so frustrating when ppl make comments and they have NO IDEA!! If we have a girl I can only hope she takes the same genes my boys got! This is HORRIBLE of me but my only niece didn't get the same genes [emoji17].
Kat Bahaha my husband asks all the time are you really sure about this!
