I'm going to start testing at 10DPO... so, next Friday 5/11. I have a lot of internet cheapies so I'll be POAS every morning from 10DPO on for sure :) AF is due on 5/13. (I might get impatient and do 9DPO though!)

I was due for AF 3 days ago but I know some who have taken vitex have had their cycle change on them; some have made them regular some irregular I'm guessing it's made mine irregular :( but Im quite moody and cramping so hopefully she'll come down! YEAH I'm TTC dying for AF to show weird! Maybe I'm in denial because I refuse to test due to a continuous BFN phase & due to my weight loss I still have a long way to go but I've had a successful 2 months of shedding the fat & would love to see more results & lil selfish me wants to go on rides this summer at the amusement park :confused: ok those rides will always be there & I've been waiting 14 months for a BFP
What type sudafed do we give to DH? I know it's supposed to have a single ingredient, forgot which I should look for ?

I'm nervous this cycle... don't feel prepared like last time AT ALL. This one is far more sloppy... took me ages to get going again on the diet, etcetera. But probably better that way... since last time worked out SOOOO well... *rolls eyes*
I logged onto my fertility friend online (I only really use the app on my iphone) and NOTHING has merged! How do I fix this?! I wanted to share my last chart with you all. BAH!
Hi Ladies! I'm new here but thought I would jump in your thread because me and DH will be ttc this mornth (next week to be exact).
Quick question though, what do you mean when you say "fade in"?
I am nothing but anxious these days. I guess this Preseed has me thinking that this really could be our month as we have not missed a day DTD this cycle and my DH has been super supportive this month. Could it really happen this cycle? I hope so, but I am very tired of all the attempts!!! Just a couple more days of it for good measure LOL!!!
"Fade-in" is where your OPKs get progressively darker.
Here is a pic of my fade-in from this cycle. (CD17 11a is lighter than the FMU b/c I had drunk some water inbetween the two, but otherwise they get progressively darker starting on CD16 FMU - CD16 6P isn't showing up in the pic, but there is a faint line.) My first positive is CD18 FMU, although I think if I had taken one CD17 around 9-10p it would have been positive as well. I suspect that I O'd on CD19 AM.
Attachment 2417
Note that fade-ins don't happen for everyone, so don't get discouraged if you don't see a pattern like this.
Welcome Heavenlee...
My attempts are all in for this month.
Met with RE today to discuss MTHFR...I am now taking baby asprin daily and a prescription strength folic acid with B vitamins. I will see a hematologist to discuss possible lovenox injections for pregnancy. I think my brain is just exhausted these days...think I am gonna go and try to take a nap. DH is home early and with the kids.
URGENT URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!!! So lastnight was suppose to be our first attempmt, got home a little later, had dinner and put kids to bed. DP worked late anyway he came home, i said i was going to bed, he was having a shower and followed. By the time he got to bed, i was out to it, nothing could wake me! So we didnt have any sex at all yesterday, i woke up thru the night and thought that ok i can do it this morning, WE BOTH SLEPT IN! when he woke up he jumped out of bed so damn quick i got a fright, he had 5 mins to get to work before the inspectors arrived so attempt 2 didnt get done either! waiting on my OPKs, Damn courier company sent them to wrong town, so will be getting them in a couple of hours time. I am meant to be ovulatin either tomorrow or monday, heres hoping it decideds to be late! TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I gonna have to FR DP today then make sure he has a hot bath tonight and jump him when he gets out! (he does not really know we are trying!) He does not believe in swaying, and he doesnt want to "try" and make one as he thinks when focused on making a baby its like sex becomes a job and not an intimate experience iykwim? So he said, when im ready for it to go for it but he doesnt want to know coz it will stress him out! (i am sure he has figured it out but not said anything)
Any way, tell me what i should do today, help help help!
Kiesse, first of all - relax! It's ok, stressing out isn't gonna help you at all. It sounds like you still have time :) Do you have any other signs of O? Increased CM etc? What time does DP get home? And if he has already figured it out (it's kind of hard to hide this stuff sometimes!) the fact that he isn't saying anything and is still going along with it means he is being cooperative, YKWIM? I think you should be just fine, just go for it like you said tonight! Good Luck!Quote:

mydream - thank you! I know what you mean about being exhausted! I haven't been on the diet very long but I think it's the diet that is making me feel so tired these days.
Atomic says benadryl is safe to use with zyrtek if you have a lot of cm. good luck!!!!!!!
Hmm... if I were to conceive this cycle, if I ovulate at a "normal" part of my cycle, then the baby's due date will still be close to my son's birthday! Oh well. I don't know if I want to put it off... I'm just going to go with it. Definitely AF is coming... so that puts my cycle back down to about a 30 day cycle, after all the wonky business. Going to start back up on Vitex tonight and hubby is starting Licorice root... but I think he's only going to take it 1 x a day because I want a good shot getting pregnant. Is there any point in doing that? Should we just stick with two/three times a day?
My plan:
I've not been on the diet long enough to make a big dent in my weight, but I am either maintaining or losing (depending on the day... but that's what I get for daily-morning weigh-ins!) so I hope that doesn't have a negative impact. But it's bound to be better for conceiving a baby than my jump down to 103lbs last time. I've gained all my weight back so it's been harder this time. But hovering around 1,200 cal, 15-30+ fat (really depends on the day!), and about 30-40 grams protein.
I'm on vitex AF - O
I'll take Cetirizine.
Frequent release... though unsure when we should start doing that!
Husband taking licorice root. Once a day? Or should we just stick with 3x? Want the "benefit" of it but don't want to make it too difficult to get pregnant.
Multiple attempts in the fertile window.
He'll take hot baths, too.
He's actually gained weight (he was complaining the other day!) since our son was conceived, and when he said it I sort of noticed it (he's still a healthy weight, but he does have the warm-cuddly dad vibe now! Soft around the edges! Heh) after he said it, so that should be good, eh?!
I've got OPKs but not enough to get real-real crazy... so I have to plan wisely. I've got a box of regular kinds and a box of digitals. *shrugs*
I've got NO pregnancy tests! So I can't obsess with testing until I'm ready to.
If I get pregnant this cycle, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a boy. I've just done so poorly this time around, but hey... at least my cycle is back to normal, I guess. Ho hum! I've not even had any peppermint tea or anything. Ugh. :( So, so slack. I might make up some strong iced peppermint teas to drink at work all day starting on Tuesday until ovulation, not that it's going to do much.
O on Clomid is just painful! I feel like my insides are coming out! Having a retroverted uterus sucks!!!!
Hah! Enjoy! Of course I am happy being prego but miss my skinny jeans! I've gained sooo much weight already, (I needed too). You don't have long to wear them!Quote:

Finally got my opks today and can relax test was negative so am expecting to o on Mon or Tue as originally thought! So gonna be busy catching up on fr
I think we all need a bit of relaxation!Quote:

Well day 4, major cramps but no AF..why not!!?? My CM has increased tremendously though but I can't quite figure out why :confused: Normally CM is EW or none existent or well AF would be here lol but now it's creamy. But with my attitude AF HAS to be on her way shes just fashionably late:hair:
Well since I am not temping this month, I am relying on other signs for O. Yesterday excrutiating pains, but my cervix was still low, medium and medium with watery cm. Today or this afternoon my cervix is high, feels open and is soft, so did I O yesterday or am I today. I am thinking today? Earlier OPK kind of looks like it could be positive, but maybe negative all at the same time. We already DTD this am and hope we can again tonight. Had a little bit of blood when we DTD today too, so maybe that is a sign I am Oing today? I just don't know for sure without temping LOL!!! But without the temping I am more relaxed I think, so hopefully DTD 7+ days in a row we will catch the egg or eggs LOL!!! I want twins so bad LOL!!!
I hope all is well with those attempting, about to attempt, in the TWW and those who are happily preggers!
Maybe you should take a test?Quote:

Babyylove, have you tested at all yet?
Kraizy, maybe you will drop two eggs and get your twins - with all that DTD, sounds like you could have a good chance of catching two! FX for you (and me too LOL)
Ribbons, that would be wonderful to have twins! I am so jealous of Amari with her twins!!! I hope it works for me too!!!! Yeah, I am very proud of our attempts this time. It seems we are so much more focused on it this month. Not sure why, but it's working LOL!!!
Hi all! Just wanted to pop in and say I'm one dpo! =0) This was our second month TTC. Fingers crossed! I ovulated much earlier than I was expecting to so my plan didn't go as smoothly as I was hoping it would. I'm trying not to stress about that though.
Anyway, good luck everyone!
Riss, it seems to be the months that our sways don't go "perfectly" that we end up with that BFP, and for a lot of girls, it works! Don't worry about it, just take care of yourself and hopefully that sticky pink bean! :)
I was doing some research on helping implantation (which hopefully for me is in the next few days!)
What do you ladies think about this? Have you heard about any of these?
- the CORE of a pineapple. Cut into a fresh, very ripe pineapple, save the core and cut it into 5 pieces; eat one piece a day from 6-10DPO.
- a small amount of 100% grape juice once daily (4-6 oz)
- no alcohol, caffeine, chocolate or soda from O until BFP (oops, I've been drinking a bit of coffee but will stop now, can't hurt)
- full-fat milk: up to 1 pint a day. I know this is generally not allowed on the LE, but as it will be a month until my next attempt and I would only be doing it for a few days, I think I will try this, just 8 oz a day (within my LE limits for the day of course)
I know, it was totally Amari's twins that got my twin desire going again - well, that and the fact that DH is now saying no way we are going through this sway stuff again :)Quote:

ladies need your help! I was supposed to do abstain before 1st attempt, but seems like DH couldn't wait ..UGGGGHH...now Ovulation is like 2 days away?!!! help me...he release this morning..how many more times should I make him release???...totally not what I planned for:( ...tell me these are not all signs for me to skip this month:(
I am in a similar boat wishing! We were doing FR which was going great but the past 48hours he has not released, i havnt got a pos OPK yet so maybe still time, he been so busy working very long hours that we have hardly seen each other for the past couple of days, so i will make sure he releases today/tonight hopefully twice, and again in the morning.
yup that's best, just give him very little time between each release. maybe add a J/D too? not too sure thoQuote:

I hope it does not backfire on me, but after 2 years I just want to be pregnant and the hard swaying has got me no where in the past. Multiple DTD count toward swaying pink at all? Tell me it does?
Ok, just took an opk, test was negative today but def a positive test today, no fade in for me obviously, have not had sex since thurs nite and now its sunday, what should i do and how should i do it? should i get him to release asap then wait a couple of hours and have an attempt? help
YES! Kiesse, get him to release asap, then do what you can to have another attempt. You need to get an attempt in asap since you have a +OPK. Good luck!
check my other thread it has a photo
NO I have not tested at all!Quote:

I always "feel" pregnant or think this is it and this time I feel normal I just know AF is coming late
I know exactly how you feel and for me it's been over 2 years now seeing negative and I am to the point that I wait till AF is truely late waiting for my longest cycle day to finally test and here lately the AF comes. I have spent so much on tests that I am to the point that what is a few days of waiting a little bit longer.Quote:

For me this time I am relying completely on my OPKs and my O pains to guessestimate my O as I have stopped temping this month. So I have DTD so many times that surely we caught the egg this time. but in my head I keep thinking it will be just like the other cycles and we will still see AF on time. Then my head is thinking are you out of your mind DTD so much!! That's boy territory right? It's so nerve racking!
I pray you get a BFP soon and that you AF stays far away!!! Lord give baby lots of pink vibes in her testing or waiting AF out AMEN!
