Lola I hope for your bfp and WP too !

princess Im so very sorry!!XXXXXX

If you want to be here, please keep posting!!! B left because she just needed some time to adjust to her changes. We all want to know how you are doing, and I know I won't be visiting the preggo board until I have another bean.

Any symptoms? Did you have any symptoms before you tested?

Where's Jane and Tink?

Z: Great!!! A cycle buddy!!! After the heartache last month, I might just wait until AF, but I do have some FRER and digis calling my name from the closet. I need to box them and send them with DH to work before I get too close to testing. When are you testing?

Tink is on the Sept 2WW board hanging out.

AF came today, so I'm officially out for a June baby. We will ttc again next month. I've never had any problems before. Does anyone have suggestions for me? I'm only 30 and DH is 31 so we're young, my temp always shifts and I have a normal AF so I think I'm ovulating. Are there any natural fertility things besides green tea that won't mess with our sway, that could help the fertility?

hope- Im sorry! I don't know what to suggest maybe take DHEA? I did that too.

WP- Im fine thanks for asking. Just sleepy and today I did not feel so good when i was hungry.

I am so sorry :( xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pregnant mummas - please stay!

To the ladies who are moving on, will miss you all :'( But understand xxxx

ASF - CD 14 and just temping and using the CBFM and still on low - no sign of ovulation? Must be because I came off the pill?

I completely understand....

DD1....unexpected pregnancy, so didn't have to try.
DS1.....first month TTC
DS2....had 2 miscarriages while TTC (very hard that time)
DD2....we were going to start TTCing the next month, but had unprotected sex 5 days before Oing
DD3....oops, never had a cycle because I was nursing DD2 still
DD4.... BIG ooops, also didn't have a cycle....bf DD3 (notice a cycle?).

So, the only child we have ever really had to "try" for was DS2. We are on our third month TTCing (the second month resulted in a chemical preg) But, things happen.

You sound healthy and young....it will happen. How many months have you been TTCing?

hi girls! wp said i was being missed. i could have sworn i wrote yesterday...but i guess not. anyhoo...i have nothing to report other the im 6dpo. i swear my boobs hurt but its probably because i have been feeling myself up so much checking i made them hurt! last night and this morning i had pains that made me say hmmmm...almost felt like a knife or a cold sensation. i cant really explain it. im just trying to not read into every little thing and get my hopes up.

lola how many dpo are you?

i stopped working out as much and i think i have gained weight but i am.still like a 6-8.i also have.huge boobs too sooooo thats another factor. oh well dh thinks im hot and thats all i care about!

My cycle has been all off. I had tons of + opk and my temps have been so up and down (I have not put them into FF yet, they just looked so weird). Then FINALLY, I got my second high temp in a row today.....hopfully I finally Oed on cd 18. I think it is because of the chemical I had last month

---

I have no idea :( My cycles are crazy!!! plus I took clomid.

It has been a bit slow on here....I guess the preggos have moved on, which is understandable.

WP, how are you feeling? I am CD20 today also, 7dpo. Of course, not holding out any hope any more, just trying to be chill about it all.

I am so disgusted with how much weight I've gained, it's like I look like a totally different person now. Every time I look in the mirror, I am freaked out. I think this drive for a boy, this belief in swaying, has kept me ok with it for a long time, and I just told myself that someday when I have my son, I will think it was all worth it to let my body totally change for a year or so. But now, I can't do it anymore. Heck, I'd be happy to have a girl at this point, any baby as long as it was human! So, I have been torturing myself with the girl diet now, LOL.....shrinking my stomach back to regular capacity and teaching my body to have 1/2 the food it is used to is HARD! I'm starving!

---

Yeah I'm waiting, Lets just see what happens now.

I am so sick of my new look (sigh)!!!

Hey Flava!

May I ask why you made TWO attempts? Just wondering I remember you were freaking out about going natural? ..I am really thinking about two attempts, but I have no idea about my O day so I migh end up with just one.

I'm so sorry AF showed up. Are you making just one attempt? What about RJ/BP.

Yeah Im scared we did natural but msu didn't work either and DH said not to try again.We did like many others here every 2 days to build up sperm count. So 6-4-2 day before O. Not on O day because DH had an ooops...anyway I think only the O-4 and O-2 counts because lot's of ppl get pregnant with dtd only O-4 or only O-2 but very few from O-6.
I write down my sway but decided not to post it because there is no way I want ppl taking it a part and chew on it like they do on IG. I only post it IF it's a boy. Actually Im so happy I didn't post my sway with DD4.(not that anyone was interested on it)

Hope.ful, I think it's just bad luck and you will eventually get pg, like you said all in God's timing! :agree:

Yea, ITA Flava, you're not hurting anyone with your preggo talk!

5- woohoo for a pH of 7, I couldn't get nearly that high without bsf.

Lola- i hear ya on the weight, the potential blue result makes you ignore the growing ass. I'm not going to lie that I hate my body much less this last week, I'm choosing to believe every lb mattered. I agree drop that weight and feel more like you. Try paleo, great weight loss and its high fat high protein so you feel full and can eat all the veg you can handle. I did it right before my attempt (because we weren't going to) and dropped 5 lbs in a week! I also think it may keep you in a very boy friendly way, you know just because :bigsmile:

Flava- post your sway, I can't imagine any here attacking like on IG. I would have never posted mine on IG as they would have chastised me for ignoring so many factors.

On the angry about losses, two weeks after my loss in Oct I saw a very pregnant woman smoking and chugging a red bull. I'm still amazed I managed to resist the urge to punch her in the face.

Holy crap I go MIA for a few days and it seems like so much has happened! So many in the 2ww and a few have left :( I'm still here and will not be going anywhere for more then a few days. Both dd1 & 2 had field trips this week and I was lucy enough to get to go on both but man they kicked my ass. DD1 was yesterday and they told us there was walking but it was actually more like hiking. Even the kids were exhausted! I needed my afternoons to nap and just couldn't concentrate enough to check in lol

Oh I forgot to mention we're down to two names, dh favors the first one. Charles Robert, after my uncle who married us and my dad, we'll call him Charlie. Owen Robert, first name I love middle again after my dad. We probably won't decide till we actually see him, face and goods lol

I think I'm 8dpo today......can't wait till you test! It is nice to have a sweet DH who still thinks we are hot despite the weight gain. Mine is very cool about it also, but I hate it.

Not sure what diet I will do....kinda on the not eat much diet right now. I'm working my butt off right now, so it is distracting me and making me not have time to eat anyway.

Hopeful, I'm sorry.....sometimes I wonder if swaying is anti-fertile in and of itself, because there have been lots of women who take longer to conceive when swaying, but don't let that discourage you. Sometimes it just takes a while, but obviously you can get pg with your husband, so you will soon enough! I would do the green tea, maybe a wheatgrass supplement or smoothies, just fertility-friendly stuff like eating well and exercising, ya know?

And again, Princess, I will miss you, but totally understand. xxoo

Glad you're not leaving, 3P1B! None of you who are pregnant make us upset....at least I speak for myself, and I'm the infertile one (well, couple) here, so no worries!

Hey, can I ask y'all a question? When TTC boy, is it preferred to DTD a bunch before your fertile window just to raise your T? I just read that in a thread somewhere. I haven't done that this cycle at ALL! I just had AF (we never DTD during that time--too gross) and am on day 11 (AF lasted 7 days) and we haven't DTD yet. I was planning on starting tonight...:nails: but now I am worried that I should have done it a few days ago! I was having DH hold off a few days to get some good swimmers stored up, so today is day 3 (possibly 4) of abstaining. (He can't remember if he released on Monday or Tuesday).

I am just stressed out. I don't know when I am going to O... and DD2 just got diagnosed with roseola, so I am worried about TTC while she has that.

I would love to read you sway, Flava! I don't think anyone on this site would pick it apart.

3P1B, I love both Owen and Charlie! Great choices!

All you pregnant ladies, please don't leave! I like having you around!

Thanks!!

On dtd a bunch before I'm pretty sure the theory is that's lots of O's will raise pH, not sure about testosterone. I wouldn't stress about it I conceived my guy with a pH of 5.5-6.

3p1b: I love Charlie!!!

Hobber: I think Roseola (sp?) is more of a childhood thing....maybe I am mistaken.
Just dtd, you will be fine. How long until you O? CD14?

---

I don't know when I will O. Anywhere between CD13 and CD16. That's the problem. I guess we should have DTD day before yesterday, but I wasn't thinking about it early enough to have DH abstain from releasing for a few days, so I had him abstain Wed and Thurs, so today would be our day, right?

---

Well, we are fine if that's the case, because I have been giving myself a Big O the last few nights for just that exact purpose (weird to have to do it by myself--but I have to do it away from DH so he doesn't try to get involved since he is supposed to be abstaining for a few days).

Glad to hear it is possible with a low pH! I haven't had much luck getting over 6.5 w/o the BSF. BTW, how many times did you DTD after AF when you got pg?

We have a new thread for October:

http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...s.-All-welcome!!

See you there :)

Wp- thanks!

Hobber- I did do a bsf 30min-1 hr before each attempt but only the one. We had great timing by pure luck, 4 day obstain then an o-2 and o.

---

But did you do it any other days (with protection or whatever) leading up to your attempt? Or were those two times all you did the entire cycle?

We used condoms until the 4 day abstinence then not for 3-4 days after the attempt. For us condoms require lube and I wanted to be sure there was nothing hostile in there around our attempt.
