AF is here. SO I'm charting, wondering if I can possibly get DH home when I think I will O again.
Sorry, CallmeCrazy...
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be out this month, too. Not sure how much longer I can do this.
I think I may have had a fake O or geared up to O and it just didn't happen. I'm sure it was stress related, but I feel so sick and discouraged right now.
I'll meet you in the Oct. 2WW..
Dislike!!! I'm really sorry Beadin. I hope your body o'd and that stupid hurricane blows a bfp your way this month.Quote:

Glad all is well beadin!! Fx for you this month! Congrats bythe******! I am hoping this is my month too!! I'm tired of stressing over moon phases and Chinese gender charts lol, I am just going with the flow!! I didn't even do opks! Trying to do the natural thing and see if that helps! :fx::pinksperm:
so sorry your feeling down beadin, sending you tons of hugs from the other end of the globe!
this WILL happen for you, and hey, the longer it takes, the more likely it is to sway pink :)
your ov could just be delayed due to the stress, but thats not to say you won't be o-ing or that your are out!
fingers crossed for you, i'm really really hoping for you :)
I had zero morning sickness. I would feel a bit dizzy and nauseous if my blood sugars got low. I is a bit disconcerting as you feel like you should have ms and I was worried until I started feeling movement. But all was well and I had a perfectly healthy baby girl. So try to enjoy it.Quote:

I have had a lot of lower back pain the on mon & tuesday. And no other symptoms what so ever. not even sore boobs which I normally have now on the run up to AF anyway. And now I feel like that early test is calling to me. I am 10 dpo today and due to fly out on hols on Friday, which will be 12DPO. Will I go for it :nails: .
I am thinking that it could be a great start to the hols if BFP and if it is a BFN then well I am going on hols so life is still pretty good
That is totally how mine began..a pit in my stomach that got better with eating then it transformed into not being able to eat much and throwing it all up once I did. Or waking up so nauseous I couldn't move until I put something in my stomach..and it not digesting and I'd just throw it up later. and DH had to bring me food when I woke up. and soon after that it was 24/7 nausea to some degree. However...my throwing up has slowed significantly! *knocks on wood*Quote:

My DH and I have added a bunch of attempts this cycle and I've loosened up on the diet-I was wasting away! I needed to lighten up and be a bit less obsessive about the whole thing, hope that sways pink :) FX for those of you still waiting to test!
Perfectly said :) ITA 100%Quote:

On the plus side, I have lost 6 lbs! which is really good for me. Hopefully more will come off by the end of AF. So not being successful in July or August may have been the best for me, since now I'm actually getting somewhere with my sway.
Hi I am 9dpo today. And honestly I feel nervous to test. Like literally I will have my heart racing when I POAS. I SERIOUSLY cannot take this anymore. Seriously I have been through enough. I really think you will hear me scream if its a BFN. I have a blood test on Saturday for Hcg but I wont know results till Monday. I will have to test by then so I just know either way. Just havent decided when. Sorry if I sound dramatic. Im just over it.Quote:

Oh, sweetie, you don't sound dramatic. I am praying this is your month!Quote:

I'm disappointed that we didn't have a real attempt this month, but thankful that it gives me an extra month on the diet and that if I did, indeed, o when FF and the monitor say I did, then we should have a REAL attempt in a couple of weeks when DH is home.
My good friend is 37 years old and her dh is 41. They dtd 5 or 6 days before she was due to ovulate. They weren't trying, they were avoiding. She got pregnant and is having a girl in Feb 2013. It can happen Shell. It does all the time. Good luck and happy 2ww to you.Quote:

you're still in with a shot! :)
:fx:
So, it is time to join you girls! Waiting for the result for our fourth cycle (only 1 dpo). Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!
Lassie, thank you so much for the sweet words!!! ♥
Hope&Dream, I know exactly what you mean. Especially when I was using the progesterone cream and then the vitex, I just KNEW I was pregnant...it really was heartbreaking to see that white test, BUT...I do believe this is your month. At least I am praying that it is! ♥
Shell, I agree with the other ladies...you're not out!! It only takes ONE :) ♥ Crossing fingers and toes for you!!! ♥
Well...I'm still holding out hope I can catch my crazy ovulation this month. I went to the dollar store and bought cheap opks to use along side my digitals. (I hated wasting the digitals! So expensive) I bought a TON of them. In fact, it was so many and I was so embarrassed, that I didn't even take my sunglasses off while I was in the store. LOL
Good luck ladies!! I hope this month is as successful as last month was!! Xx
Awww ladies I swear your words really help. Tomorrow is 10dpo I kids want to test and thinking about it makes me want to hurl. I have been eating out of control for a week. Perhaps I need to know if it's a bfn it will make me stop eating like there no tomorrow.
Hi hope, glad your hanging in there - the hunger could be a good sign.
I'm getting really fed up with the diet now - really missing all the nice things to eat, have been a bit naughty and had half an ice cream once to twice (still in cal limits though just more than normally have) and snuck the odd nibble off my sons choc bar when he wasn't looking. Blimey look what were driven to!!!
I'm waiting to join the two week wait. I got a plus opk digi yesterday morning and we dtd last night (wondering whether to try again tonight or tomorrow morning as well just to up our chances although AS did say just one attempt for first couple of months so really unsure - don't know how long i can be so strict on the diet though plus all the vits and tests etc are costing me a fortune!).
Good luck to all those testing soon. Beadin did you figure out whether your o was real or fake?
yay! I am new to the 2 WW. I am just thrilled that I o'ed. TTC pink and I had a loss (girl) in may at 20 weeks. still swaying this time just much more relaxed about it
it had just been rough since the loss. we were ttc and then after 2 months realized I had retained placenta, well then a D&E and i finally had a period and ovulated monday! I was nervous I wouldn't bc I am still nursing DS2, so I was relieved.
I am only 3 dpo...so we will see...
Hi ladies! Just dropping in so say hi and that I miss you all lots. Finally finished moving into the new house. Now we are unpacking and doing all the fun stuff, lol. Moving was super hectic and we had one BD attempt that was most likely too late. I didn't even have time to use OPK's or anything so I doubt anything good will come out of this month. I have just been planning for next month's attempt.
Congrats to all of the new BFP's!
just out of nterest girls how many attemps have you each month
We've gotten only one or two in the past few cycles. I'm still pray that dh will have his week off during ovulation later this month (cycle 6 for us) so that maybe we can up our chances. We've been dtd on o day or o -1, depending on when we can actually see each other. This cycle (5) it was o -5 (unintentionally).
Or maybe this is cycle 6 and the late september cycle will be 7? I've lost count.
I've been POAS-ing twice a daily onto 10mui tests - all stark white :(
Tomorrow's temp will either cheer me up or make me certain i am out, my temperature ALWAYS with out fail start dropping on 9dpo...
whats the BFP tally so far this month?
Oh lassie I hate that. I've been avoiding testing. 11dpo today. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday morning I will?
MrsP- we had 4 attempts this month. And usually 4 or more each attempt
Some of us are wishing you'd test today! :pQuote:

But then this month I found a renewed optimism because the tests came back all good, and because we did our attempts differently after finding out my uterus was retroverted, and that new optimism had me back on the poas bandwagon.
It's not fun, all the negatives, not after trying so long :(
Anyway, thats my ttc bubble burst at the moment, wont be testing anymore, will watch temps and if still high will test on AF due date.

Hope - as you said, give it another day or two so that you are 12dpo+
:fx:
Excited for you!

I am also addicted with testing but I remember with DS2 I was charting and that was the cycle I was going to take a break for a while and I didn't test. Well. 18 days dpo my temp was still high and i finally tested!
i am only 4 dpo and so anxious this time waiting til i can test. How early do you all start testing?
I SUCK at the waiting to test game. I have no idea how I am going to wait to find out the gender if I can't even hold out a few days to test! Today I am 8DPO and, naturally, tested :( Lol. I know it's stupid to get upset about a negative at this stage...since the potential baby might not even have implanted. But I get worked up over it.
Most women who test early (aka:obsessively) wait until 8DPO. The chances of the baby implanting and making enough HCG to trip a test is very low before 8DPO. And even that is pushing it. I hear ICs are better for testing early because they have such a low threshold for HCG. I never go with them though because I had a nasty batch that involved indents and very convincing Evaps. That was the end for me...if I can't handle negatives, I certainly can't handle fake positives. I always use FRER and just buy when I have coupons, they are on sale, or offer free tests in a box. It's more expensive, but worth it for my peace of mind.
Anyway. I had to come tell you ladies about my pee obsession. Since I am totally mum to real life people, even DH. It is driving me crazy that I can't just "know" now! Or a week ago...these scientists need to get on the ball and eliminate the TWW all together!
