If O is due tomorrow you could try again but I just read your last post in the boy thread and you have been trying daily since CD9. If it were me, I would give it a miss..
I know I've messed up :(
It's just DH doesn't really believe in swaying and he doesn't care if we have another girl.
He says no point taking his supps if he isn't getting anything.
A bit dissapointed but it's done now and what will be will be.
We've DTD everyday since CD9 but we missed CD10 and CD15
Awwww you have not messed up big hugs xxx I'm sure there have been plenty of boys conceived this way!!!!! There is no fool proof method.Quote:

Trying to not think about it, I may not even be pregnant.
It's going to be a long 18weeks until my scan lol
Please don't torment yourself (hard I know!!) xxxx
I'm trying not to, but yes it is hard.
I'm not sure whats going on with me.
I am CD15 had some cramps NYE and some mixed cloudy/clear CM don't think it was O though.
Last cycle O was CD24 and the 2 cycles before that it was CD19.
I'm not doing OPT and not checking cervix, not doing BSF or BSB not doing anything, just DTD when we feel like it. Not actively ttc but were not using protection.
Hi LBAM- if you are in the low maintenance ttc mode there, I would just dtd every other day. OR you could just watch your cm like a hawk if yours changes. OR- you could just dtd when you feel like it, because we get hornier when we ovulate (good old nature, eh?). I hope you are doing ok. I know it's frustrating, but just keep your chin up and try not to feel deflated about the swaying. You have a great shot doing absolutely nothing at all. I myself have had months where I do very little....sometimes you just need a little break from actively ttc with all bells and whistles.
Thank you :)
WOW my last post was in Jan 2012.
Update from me.
I think I am in the 2ww. Had a really long cycle this month.
I have irregular periods most of the time between 27-44 days.
We have not used any protection at all since oct 2011 and I am still not pregnant.
A few months ago I gave up actively ttc and stopped trying. Didn't use any protection but just tried to dtd only during the safe times.
This cycle I got to CD 30 and noticed I still hadn't had any EWCM so thought I must have missed O and didn't think much about it. Thought ok well we probably in the safe zone now cause AF would be due anyday.
DTD CD32 and then on CD33 I noticed alot of EWCM. I thought maybe it was left over semen so I done the water test and turns out it was ewcm. Well I think it was so now I think I am in the 2ww, what do you think?
I am now CD40
I'm getting some cramps. Tried to check CM it's dry and cloudy and sticky is that how it should be a few days before AF?
The past few months i've had alot of trouble with EWCM having hardly any at all, this cycle I had a few big globs of it over 2 days.
Just trying to work out what day I should count as O day.
I had a pregnancy test here and I stupidly wasted it today BFN.
Sorry to ramble on.
Hey LBAM, good to see you back. Are you using opks? Sure you know when you O with those irregular cycles? I hardly have ewcm either, which I think is due to my age and hormones, probably. I used to have a lot more in my 20s, that is for sure. My cm gets the same right before AF, even though it will be creamy, and lots of it, during the 2ww- which always makes me think maybe, just maybe, I am pg. So, it's been 7 cycles or so? Just saying, but it might be time for a trip to the doctor to check your hormones or something.....you can obviously get pg with 5 kids, but sometimes you just need a little tweak to get things just right.
love being a mummy,
we missed you on here!!! Maybe this is going to turn into your BFP? Those are some pretty long cycles. Good to see you again, and hope you'll resume posting!
Hope this is your month for a bfp! Did you test again?
It's def. possible you Oed late and are now in the 2WW. Or it's also possible that was a faker and you still haven't Oed. The only way to know for sure would be ultrasound/blood tests. I've had a couple fake O's where I had tons of EWCM and even cramps and stuff, but I never ovulated at all.
CM can be sticky, dry, cloudy at various times in the cycle so no way to tell by that, unfortunately.
Nope stopped using OPK's ages ago cause I stopped swaying and ttc.Quote:

I think seeing my Dr is a good idea.
Thanks, Yeah I think I might stick around for while. I wanted to come on but ttc and baby talk was taking over my life, just needed a little break.Quote:

Otherwise you will never really have an idea of O until AF arrives and if you haven't timed intercourse then you might miss your chance. But, I agree with Lola, maybe go to the doctor to get your hormone levels checked. They might even be able to prescribe Clomid or something to get your cycles a bit more regular.
Wow I'm so slack I totally forgot about this site, here I am, still not pregnant :(
It's been about 14 months since I stopped using protection.
I wondered where you went to:) Thats sad news that you've still no bfp:( Have you seen a Dr about it maybe??
I stayed off the forums for a while cause I wasn't getting pregnant so I wanted to stop swaying and stop ttc and just go with the flow, but it was a bit hard to not think about it when I was on the forums everyday.
So I've been going with the flow, no swaying and no charting, nothing.
I honestly thought it would have happened by now.
I'm usually so fertile and have no problems at all. I'm starting to think I've done something while trying to sway, maybe I messed up my hormones or something I don't know.
I haven't seen a Dr yet.
Hmm, if your still noticing ewcm each month then it may be a DH issue? Do you think he would consider being tested or is he you typical man:)
I have been noticing some ewcm but haven't been tracking so can't really say if I have noticed it every cycle.
Not sure if he'll get tested yeah he is a typical male. He'll probably just say if it's meant to be it will happen.
Ooh they only have to leave a deposit in a cup don't they! Then thats it, job done, they're ruled out, but no! They'd rather act all mystical about it wouldn't they:) Hmm, can you get him on a daily dose of co-q10 200mg anyway??
He was taking L-arg and zinc in the past but has stopped I might be able to get him to take that.
My mums friends daughter was having trouble falling pregnant for the second time so she saw her Doc, turns out the birth of the first baby changed the shape or position of her cervix (sorry i dont know the exact details as it was a story i heard down the grapevine, not from the actual girl) but they were able to give her advice or something about it and she fell pregnant again, it may be something simple like that going on with you, you should really go see your Doc.
Yeah I think I might.
I've always been so fertile. It's actually probably been longer then 14 months, the months go by so quickly ( except the 2ww lol) I think my first sway attempt was around Oct 2011.
So it's been like 16 months since then WOW !!!
I def. advise medical advice at this stage of the game. It is absolutely possible to go from very fertile to having secondary infertility and it can happen at any age.
Wishing you the best of luck!!
LBAM, can I ask how old you are? I hope you aren't experiencing something that is too hard to fix. I would definitely go see a doctor. Keep us posted and good luck!
