Anyone know what happened to Violet?? Bfp blood test?
(I'm not in the 2WW yet but stalking this thread for hope, while I wait to o)
I'm with Meeks and waiting to o. I wish I was in the 2 ww!! Have about a week to go. Sigh.
Only 2dpo, so very doubtful it's anything.Quote:

I'm still in and cautiously optimistic. DTD once the day after O which I really didn't want to do as this is what happened last month and we were so happy to get a BFP our first month trying only to end up with nothing a week later. I've had a couple of tiny drops of blood but nothing for a couple of days so am pretty sure that was IB. the problem is I'm almost certain it won't stick just like last time. We'll try again in Feb when DH might actually be in the same continent when I O!
I totally agree - if changing the sex was that easy all we would have to do is eat High or low the day before and bob's your uncle! Good luck:)Quote:

If you don't get pg you can't get a girl at all - this is the horrible catch 22 we all face. I know why I have two boys - a bit younger and more energetic then LOL!Quote:

Is it too early to obsess over my attempt??
DH did FR from CD1 - CD8 gave him a day off (was going to be a few days off) as I thought I'd O around CD17 like in the past and maybe 17 days of FR would be too much?. Then OPK strips arrived in the post and I decided to try them out and 1st day just test line, 2nd day (I like to POAS!!) test line plus faint second line??? I started to panic a bit, got DH to FR again from CD10 and we BD'd CD 10 (DH withdrew) & twice on CD11 which is when I felt O pain like straight after BD?
Before my first attempt at BD I had some EWCM so took 10mls cetirizine and finger of rephresh, 2nd attempt DH struggled to finish (god love him!) but not much there iykwim :worry:
I lay for 5mins after each attempt so I got 2 proper BD's in day before O??
What I'm worried about is since my IUD removal on 31st October I've had a light period but been spotting ever since? Even up until +OPK on CD10? I'm wondering if there is enough of a cushion for my little egg to attatch to if I actually get pregnant this month?
Anyone else want to obsess with me? It's gonna be a long 2ww!! xxx
6boys, you do know that an opk isn't positive unless the test line is as dark or darker than the control line? There will always be a faint line as you always have LH in your system.
From your chart I would say you O'ed on cd12, but you'll need tomorrow's temp to be high to confirm.
LOL so was my Nephew:) Statistics eh?! I know this isn't very scientific but a lot of mums seem to be doing the opposite of whatever they did last time. That is what I have had to do with DH away for the week before O. Hope it works.Quote:

Hi Ladies! I am joining you all now after a rollercoaster of a month. Got my smiley face yesterday afternoon so we BD last night and this morning. I did have a temp rise this morning, though, and we are TTC a boy so we are done BD for the month. NOW...for the 2WW. Good luck to all of you! Here is to hoping I get a BFP in 2 weeks and then find out we are having a little boy!
Anybody seen beadin in here lately - am stalking??????????????
Her chart looks really promising, i really really hope this maybe her month xxxxxxx
I think she said she was out but could be wrong.
Ooh! Just seen Beadin's chart and she's not out so fingers crossed!!!! :fx:
Hi hunny i use clear blue smileys and it does say to use fmu so thats what ive been doing - tested again at lunch and tonight with a 4 hour pee hold (man that was hard) and no smiley both times so dont know what that suggests ? Will test again and in morning and see but no ewcm today and no pains so im thinking its been and gone. Tonight i am just sooooo blaoted and my cm is more creamy now - agai no idea if that means anything.Quote:

Since you are testing so often it is easier to tell:) Even though the hormone takes a while to get into your urine it must mean that the surge started at sometime in the night probably early morning. What does the blurb say? How sensitive is the test? Normally O is 24-36 after spike and the lack of smileys mean that the surge is over rather than O being over. I would trust your other signs as good indicators so you probably have ovulated and got lots of attempts in:).Quote:

I'm sure this is going to end badly too as we had to DTD post O again this month due to DH's work trips. Anyway, good luck to us all eh?
It does looking promising, now I'm stalking too. Beadin' we're all pulling for you!!!Quote:

I just tried to put it out of my mind and enjoy our honeymoon and had a few drinks. I've done a few follow up pregnancy tests just to check and they have all now turned negative. So I'm confused and hurt. Trying not to worry about it though and will see what the future holds. I have three gorgeous sons whom I love and for now they are enough. I think I'm just going to relax and if we have another child then great. If not then that's okay too. Taking a really relaxed approach to it all now (mentally I think that's all I can handle).
There are no false positives hon, I would say its what is referred to as a 'chemical' pregnancy (aka very very early miscarriage). One of the downsides of us all temping and testing and knowing our cycles is that we notice more pregnancies earlier on that most women, so we know when we've lost one and other women wouldn't even notice.
I'm so sorry for you, I had one last month too. Did AF arrive?
The only other thing is that you may have tested too early for blood test...
Both of my boys were conceived this way too, although maybe with only around 7 day abstains. BUT we were in our mid-20's then, so I'm not convinced of the benefits of abstain - for us anyway. FR's just too much, so will be taking a relaxed enjoyable approach next month.Quote:

I can now start to think seriously about our sway next month, will find out over Xmas week if it works.
I really hope we have a good round of BFP's this month on this thread!! :luck: to you all!!
Violet- sooo sorry.
meeks- you said we notice from testing early.......how early is too early or at what point would you be past that?
question for you mamas that know about cm and ovulation-
so I normally get lots of cm leading up to O and ewcm but this time i guess w/ diet and doing rephresh every 3 days i didn't have any(don't do internal checks usually it is just there when I wipe) and then did benedryl so think that dried me up also. so got my positive opk on Sun. 10:30pm(digi smily,neg at previous 4pm test)which stayed positve for 24 hours then negatives. well I have continued testing since this is my 3rd PPAf and just feel anything is possible so fast forward to this morning and I had a clump of clear cm w/ I wiped. Just a lil stretchy 1/4 inch maybe, but wondering wth?? I thought cm dried up after O so now I'm wondering did I ever O?? I did have O pains which went away when i thought i O'd on tues. Anyway any of you ladies get cm like that after Ov??
Thanks! I've been reading up on Ramzi's study where like 95% of girls implanted on the left and 95% of boys implanted on the right. On 6dpo I felt a lot of cramping and low back pain that was all specifically on the left -- even the back pain -- only left! So its a good sign :).

And I did get a BFP. Hopefully that is what is happening for you :)!!!Quote:

These were internet cheapies. So DH was out grocery shopping, while I was at home bathing the boys for bed and I called and asked him to please grab some FRER tests, and we tested when he got home and got a very faint positive, it is a three pack so a couple hours later tested again and still a faint positive but a little darker. Will do the last one soonish as I can't wait. So it looks as though, maybe, we are in fact pregnant? I'm still not sure after everything that has happened to us. We had a chemical last month also. So totally confused?! Anyway, will keep everyone posted. If we are pregnant, definitely conceived on our honeymoon.
