June 2WW

Lol about buttoning the pants 3 boys!!! Fx for you!

Doula your family sounds like soooo much fun! And I loooove gardening! I had raised beds at my last home and have already been scouting the best places for them at the new place. And we go camping at least once a year... sounds like our families would have such fun together! Your middle boy and my youngest DD2 could cause trouble together for sure, lol! I am super impressed with your birthing!! Awesome stuff.

OOB!!! Get on here and post your bfp (I hope I hope I hope!!!)

as for me BFN at 8dpo! If I wasn't entering this on my phone I'd put in the ROFL smiley! Who tests at 8 dpo anyway?!?! Lol! I've got 2 more tests so might alternate days and test at 10 and 12 now, we shall see! But I am a-ok witha bfn this time around.

Pinkin2011 don't lose hope yet!!! You're still in the game til AF shows IMO!

Thanks for all your positive thoughts, ladies! You guys are just SUPER! :hugs:

My temp went waaaay down this a.m. but I took a test anyway. BFN. Then, I noticed a bit of brown cm in my Diva Cup. Had a good cry, got ready, took my son to school and was thinking, “Well, at least this stupid cycle is over!”. Now there’s no blood, clear cm and my earlier BFN staring at me. I’m just going to call it done…I’m not holding out any hope at this point. I’ll wait until I get official AF before I start that darn Vitex again. The really good news is that now my cycle is so wiggedy, I probably won’t O until DH is back in town so we’ll hopefully be able to try again this next round. I’m going to have a good chat w/my ovaries and convince them to O nicely and give me +OPKs. Oh, yeah, I’m also going to ask that they O 2x so we can get twins, lol.


Thanks again for your support!!!

Begonia – Thanks so much for all your kind words/thoughts…FWIW, my symptoms have been:
• Cramping
• Backache
• Spotting once after cramping started (and I never spot)
• Fatigue
• Crying for no reason (6-8dpo)
• So thirsty
• Night sweats
• Can’t sleep well at night
• Vivid dreams
• Afternoon fatigue
• DS isn’t getting enough BM
• Freakishly strong nails – my nails are usually terrible unless I’m preg
• Bloating since 11dpo

OMG...I must be a nutcase!!!!!

Doula – That conference sounds amazing!!! I think you need to find a way to go! I’m really hoping you have that pink little girl in your arms when you go. Regarding O, sometimes I feel pains, sometimes I don’t. I heard that sometimes you get O pains before, sometimes after, possibly during but no one knows exactly when you O for sure. I’m hoping charting temps goes well for you. I tried it thinking it was going to be really annoying, hard and not worth it but I can really see trends when I chart and I just do it when I wake up which didn’t start out at the same time every day and still isn’t but it’s close enough to get a good idea of what’s going on. BTW, OMG, your stuff you made is AWESOME and you are such an interesting person!

Pinkin2011 – Welcome!!! I’ve been using quite a lot of Aci-jel too… I’m going to scale back for my next attempt…Sending you lots of BFPINKP thoughts…you never know about those little guys are crafty and it only takes one!

3boys – I’m hoping all those symptoms are it for you! I hope time speeds by and when you test it’s a BFP!!! I'll be cheering you on!

So exciting…can’t wait for all these tests to roll in!!! :cheerteam:

Begonia have you pee'd on a stick today?? Can't wait to hear the results! I love living the 2WW through the excitement of others testing until it is my time.

OOTB really hope you get your BFP today!! Good luck! fXD

AFM 4dpo and I swear I'm getting every PG symptom imaginable even though it's pretty impossible for me to even feel PG this early in the game. My stomach feels so bloated! It could either be the fertility meds or for some reason when I feel I might be pregnant I get paranoid about squashing the baby with my jeans LOL HA HA! Which means I notice how tight my trousers are more than usual. Crazy I know.

I will not be testing until 10dpo which is next Monday! It will go so slowly. Doula I can't tempt you to test on Monday with me? LOL

---

Too funny about the trouser comment! I get the exact same way! I've also been really (painfully so) gassy the past 2 days which is not nice at all! As for the testing....if I hadn't of wasted half a dozen tests for nothing about 1 week ago when I was SURE I was pregnant I would totally test with you on Monday!! And with the way I feel about this attempt.... :( :gloomy: I just really want to wait until AF shows which is around 11/12 dpo. The one thing that may change my mind about testing is if I get yellow, creamy cm. Every time I've been pregnant I get it in the late dpo stage so I may be convinced to test early...we'll see! LOL Here's hoping we can finish our families with a cute little pink bundle!!

Our families do sound very similar in regards to interests! :) You'll have to take pics of your garden once you get it going! I plan taking some pics here once my plants have become established in a month or two:) My mom got me into gardening when I was in my teens and once I got married my passion for it just took off! My hubby is really supportive of my interests and has many interests himself. He's into fixing things like cars and home improvement type stuff. He's also a hunter and goes bow hunting every year for our freezer:) As for the birthing stuff- Thanks! It was hands down one of the most amazing experiences of my life!

As for your BFN at 8 dpo.....I'm sorry!! My BFP's were no earlier than 9po(and 2 were after 11 dpo) and I was testing regularly. Although I know some women get them early, I would say that most women get them after 10 dpo:) I still have such good thoughts that you'll be a BFP'er soon!!!! We haven't had one in awhile!! Someone needs to have another before we're into July!!

I'm so sorry OOTB!! All those symptoms!!! It's just insane that you're NOT pregnant! It doesn't make any sense! When do you expect AF? Is your luteal phase pretty consistent? What dpo are you on now? Again....we don't stop hoping until the fat lady sings! I'm keeping my fingers crossed you! And here's hoping that your ovaries get the memo...twice!! LOL Twin girls.....how awesome would that be!

Thank you OOTB! I hope I can take a little pink bundle to the conference as well! How awesome would that be!!!!
And thank you again! It's so nice to hear about what others experience in regards to O...cause it's so confusing sometimes!! I've been "attempting" to temp at 6am and sometimes the alarm goes off and I'm actually sleeping...others I'm just kinda sleeping with a baby attached to my boob.....so I can't say that they are accurate temps.
And thank you for your compliments! :D I love creating things! It think it's the Pisces in me!

Don't get too down!!! ((hugs)) Women get pregnant using a condom(they aren't always 100% effective!) and I got pregnant taking the pill(LOL!)so there is a very big chance that a few little girls made it through that gunk and made it past the goalie!!! I too used quite a bit of "stuff" this attempt. The first night I douched with lime and water 1/2 an hour before hand, used some replens and then jumped and dumped! That was 2-3 days before O as well! LOL On the second try, the next evening I used the lime douche, replens AND Sylk and then I jumped and dumped into a diva cup, put lime in it, did a replens finger and then inserted my diva cup....LOL!!!! If ANY sperm made into my uterus the second time around...I'll be SHOCKED. If I do get pregnant it'll be from our first try....but who knows if those poor replens covered sperm lived the 2-3 days they needed to. So I'm kinda in the same boat but who knows! We may get our bfp's soon!!! xoxo

DM I got preggers taking the pill too, LOL! Sweet DD1. I was LIVID about it, too, and now of course I think she's the best surprise I ever got in my life :HH:

OOB your symptoms are crazy good; I can't possibly give up hope til AF comes. That said I am glad it seems like your timing is now going to be better for this next round (IF you need it!) and that is a plus. I just saw the cuuuuuuutest pair of twin girls at the grocery store today .... :DD::DD: would be way fun :happy:


Except for me. Then it needs to be :DS::DS: LOL. Though I would totally take twin girls and after about 5 minutes of thinking :nails: I'd be all in :bigsmile:


I wish I knew when I got my BFPs with my others! DD1 I was already about 8 weeks when I took a test :rofl: DD2 it was after AF didn't show ... we weren't exactly trying so I wasn't really sitting around waiting to test. Unlike now, when I think about it at least 731 times a day :bigsmile:

So sorry OOTB!! Thanks for the well wishes. Praying you get your BFP soon!

Begonia not to worry Hun. I'm sure 9dpo is the very earliest for them BFPs but I totally understand testing early as I just love peeing on them things. Got myself 60 Internet cheapys as well as the first response ones just incase I decide to test at 5,6,7 DPO or anything really crazy! Well you've got to have blank ones to compare the positive ones with right lol.

Doula totally understand about wasting Tests on BFNs. Im a clomid girl remember so I have def had my fair share of BFN's!! Hopefully 12dpo will give you your BFPINKP!

Pinkin2011 you never know girl.... Stranger things have happened. And just think if you do get PG then it MUST be your girl getting through that acijel. LOL

Thanks, all! Smooches all around! :kiss:

Awwww....you're so sweet! Fat lady is singin' now, lol! I'm 13dpo, should have gotten AF at 10 - 11dpo....OMG, I must be such a head case to have alllllll those symptoms and no BFP...DH is wondering if I had a chemical but I think I would have gotten a BFP before I started bleeding. I think those symptoms were just residual stress from the sad dog issues, and then trying really hard to squeeze BD in, etc. The nails are such a mystery though...stupid nails!!! Honestly, right now I feel good....I feel relief. It was just a really hard month for us and adding TTC into the mix just pushed us full tilt. I'm hopping back on the Vitex express now! Just hope my cycle shortens b/c I want to be back here in the 2ww soon!

Don't worry about how accurate your temps are right now...just try to keep it up and you'll find yourself falling into a good rhythm. You'll be amazed when you look back at at your chart a month from now. You'll see trends! BTW, I'm barely Aries and I consider myself more of a Pisces (but I'm not as creative as you!!!).

3boys - sounds just like me, lol...I swear, every time I went pee, I just had the urge to pee on something...it was baaaaad!

begonia - I didn't get a BFP until 12dpo w/DS#1...Read question #5. from this link http://www.peeonastick.com/hptfaq.html#5....it should make you feel a lot better! XXX

Thank you Girls!! I am trying to stay positive but gee i dont know how... How did i not know this???? I thought i had everything worked out great! Oh well there is always next month . I dont think i will even bother testing and wait for af..but then again knowing me i will by the whole country out of preg tests. LOL. Thanks again your support makes me feel better!

Doula I think that you may have a better chance then me but good luck, I was going crazy with the acigel, pretty much every time i saw my ph go to a 5.75 i would use some to bring it down... But pretty much it was every 4 hrs i would use some. I think i would of killed them right after dtd about 10 mins after we did it i used some. Anyway GREAT lesson learnt yesterday! So i am now 1 dpo. Best of luck to everyone this month xxoo
