Blue- good luck. Like you said, it's still early. Funny how us swayers are so different than most TTC'ers. We always have a bright side ("Well this gives me a chance to perfect my sway!") LOL

As soon as I read brown ecm I immediately thought "Implantation spotting!!!" I hope thats what it is. You're not out yet, so don't lose hope!Quote:

Yep, same here with regard to diet - I am still loosing weight although its levelled out very recently as not sure I can loose much more without dropping below a healthy BMI (its currently 18.4) but my fat intake must be over, I don't feel like ive changed my diet at all really (save for cutting out snacks and skipping/delaying brekkie). Least you have being veggie as a positive, I haven't reduced eating meat at all, whoops!Quote:

I have been pouring over the internet to see what might be happening but it just seems that perhaps the dose was too small and I am just not going to ovulate this month. But the sliver of a chance I might is still there :D. Once I hear from my Dr I will know what is next...
As for all you lovely swayers waiting to test... is it POAS day yet????? I would love to see some BFPs!
Blue - It's not over til its over. Just keep thinking positive thoughts. (pun intended)
Holding out hope for longer than we should doesn't hurt us, and 'bracing for the negative' doesn't make the pain of a BFN any easier to take. It just spans it out over a few days. I would much rather have hope and have it dashed like ripping off a bandaid than have several days of feeling miserable before I need to.
Sorry girls but can I please ask.....for those who have had implantation spotting before how many dpo did it happen, how long did it last and how much was there? know I'm asking very personal information but I've never had it before and I think other girls might find this info useful.
The one pregnancy I did have spotting was at about 6dpo and it was on and off for about two weeks. At first there was a lot! I would have figured it was my period if it wasn't so sudden. I usually taper on, bleed, and taper off. And it would start and stop suddenly, also unlike my cycle. I freaked out and tested 3x a day to make sure my hcg wasn't dropping but when I asked my Dr about it she said it was all very very normal. When I asked her why I would spot past the implantation date she said it was the baby 'snuggling in' and that disturbed the lining enough to slough off. I loved the visual of my baby snuggling in close, kind of like how my boys do now on a cold evening watching movies.
I have not had any experience with implantations that I can remember Me+4. Sorry.
I only had implantation spotting with DS1 and it was 3 days before AF was due. I wasn't charting back then so I don't know how many dpo I was but probably 10. All I had was a tiny bit of pink on the toilet paper when I wiped that I would have never noticed if I didn't look. I only had it that one time I went to the bathroom.
AF arrived for me today, so I'm out.
Good thing is I get to try again in 2 weeks.
Good luck every body else that's still in their 2ww
Monty - Sorry about AF, hope next cycle is your cycle!!!
Apologies this is a little bit of a repost from some of the other 2WW threads but I figured I'd update over here as well:
So my FRER was negative (around 12 dpo?) and I feel impending AF. 99% sure I'm out (even sure enough that I had some wine last night). I'm a little disappointed because DH and I were sick from CD1-CD10 and I thought that would help sway pink, but otherwise I'm glad I won't be pregnant for a big trip we are taking in 2 weeks. I'm literally on an airplane the day before ovulation should occur so this cycle I will do my best to do an every 4 days without OPK or temping and hope that things fall correctly. If I'm not pregnant after next month (3 cycles of TTC) I will buckle down and bring back the temping and OPKs and all that jazz.

I see it Lyagirl!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!
So exciting lyagirl!!!! Congrats!!! So glad people are finally getting some BFPS ! :)
Sorry to hear you are out Monty...good luck for next month.
Essnce and Livethe3...thank you for sharing your personal info. I'm day 11 today and another BFN. I've had no further spotting and my temperature remains high but am fairly convinced AF is going to arrive. Surely if I was pg there would be the faintest of lines???
I see it Lyagirl!!!! Yay, yay, yay! What cycle TTC was this for you?
Come on BFPs, keep rolling in!
Sorry Monty about AF. Hope next cycle is your lucky one!
And Me+4-- sorry you think you're out. Are you testing with a FRER? I would probably trust a negative FRER at 11dpo, but not another brand. Are you 100% sure of your O date? If not, and you could even be 10dpo, then I think you still have a chance. I think the spotting is a good sign, especially since it went away. Fingers crossed for you!
Bluebonnet-- sorry you think you're out. If you are then I hope next month is your lucky one! I was on a plane the day before and the day after O this cycle! But I hear you on not being pregnant for a big trip. We were in Greece and Italy for 3 weeks at the beginning of the summer and even though I was hoping to get my BFP on the trip, in the end I think it was good that I wasn't pregnant as I'm sure the morning sickness would have kicked in during the trip and with the heat it would have been pretty unbearable.
Thanks everyone!
Essnce it was ttc month 4 but this time Ive that 83 day cycle so who knows how I work out how far I am. I guess as I know my o date I can work it out from there?

CD1 for me today and SIL made a pregnancy announcement. Shoot me now! I don't even want to look at the bitch, I'm so upset.
Oh no 3girl! What horrible timing! That sucks! Go have a big cheat meal and hopefully you'll have a pregnancy announcement soon too.
Yah lyagirl!!!

Yay Lyagirl!!!!! That is so awesome!
Im so sorry for all the ladies that are bfn, or have AF barging in. Especially you 3 girl. My Bestie is pregnant and just went to the hospital (preterm) with braxton hicks freaking out that she may be in labor. I am having a very very very hard time trying very hard not to be bitter about an impending baby when I still have no idea what is next.
I'm definitely out! I'll be joining you all in the ttc in September. Good luck to everyone in the 2ww!
Congrats, Lya!
I always suggest women figure out the "due date" from ovulation if they know it. Going by AF screws up anyone with a longer cycle. Look into Mittendorf-Williams for calculating it, too. M-W is based on modern large scale studies. Standard usage Naegle's method is based on around 20 women 200 yrs ago.
Soo I got a BFP last night! So so so shocked! I don't know when I ovulated (since I didn't use OPK or BBT this month), but my cycles are always 28 or 29 days. I took a FRER on Friday with very concentrated urine (CD26/ 11-12 dpo) and it was stark white. I took a wondfo on Saturday (CD 27 / 12-13 dpo) and again stark white. Just for fun I took another wondfo last night (CD 28 / 13-14 dpo) and it had what looked like an evap line. DH said I was crazy and seeing things and I was definitely not pregnant! I found a box of expired digitals and got a "PREGNANT" result! I know they are expired, but guessing they still work!
I need to go buy some new pregnancy tests today so DH will believe me :) Right now I'm bummed my vacation will be screwed up but I'm over the moon to be expecting an April baby. I've always wanted an April baby since the beginning (literally my #1 favorite month to have one) so this makes me so happy! I'm 99% sure this is DS2, but I'm currently 100% ok with being a boy mommy forevery. Just hope I don't get too crazy when my hormones kick in with GD!
Thanks for reading the essay if anyone made it this far, and thanks for all the support on this thread I've gotten over the month. You guys rock! Hope to see many more BFPs soon!
Oh my goodness, huge congrats that's amazing! Yay!! I love the sound of an April baby too : )Quote:

Thanks popple, I hope you get your BFP soon!
I honestly was sure I was out because I had AF symptoms this month starting on Friday (that sort of cramping, full, bloated feeling? Sorry if TMI). So far that's it. I was crazy hungry during the 2WW, but I've been crazy hungry EVERY 2WW while on this freaking LE diet so don't think that means much. I had more "symptoms" during my BFN cycle last cycle! Off to go POAS again to make myself believe this is real!
Congrats on the BFP's ladies!!!!!!! That is so exciting. I havea few more days before I can test.
To all the others, I'm sorry AF reared her ugly head. Here's hoping September is it for you.
I've had at type cramps too for around a week now (can't remember having them before I got my bfp with my son but it was over 2 years ago so perhaps I did!). Fingers crossed you get your girl : ) did you suffer from morning sickness when pregnant with your son? That's what scares me the most, how will I cope with a 20 month old and dreadful sickness, arggggh! XQuote:

popple - I definitely had bad morning sickness with DS. I threw up nearly daily and basically felt like I had a bad stomach flu 90% of the time for 3 months. I'm really really dreading that happening again this time with a toddler!
:hair:
Well ladies I got off the phone with the Dr. I guess the cysts in my uterus are of little concern (not certain why but i'll take it) and they said that basically the clomid didn't work. They will be upping my dose but not until I get to cd35 and take a pregnancy test then to 'be sure' I didn't ovulate on my own late. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. 'You wont ovulate, but we will make you wait several painful weeks just for fun' I welcome the 2ww because I am going to have to wait 4 weeks to get to cd1 again (cd35 plus the 10 days of provera) Oh yeah and I learned the OPKs don't work for me. I have gotten a positive result for days. YAY PCOS! >.<
Today... I am bitter.
:nono:
Yay Bluebonnet that's awesome news! Post pics of your next test!!!!
Ah Livethe3, that's so frustrating!!! I hope the increase in clomid next cycle is exactly what you need for your BFP!
9dpo for me today and I took a cheapie test at 1:30am last night and of course BFN at 8dpo LOL! I figured I'd use up my two cheapie tests before going to my FRER! :)
Hi girls, I hope some of you remember me. I had a month off TTC in July, now I'm back, this is my fertile week this week so I'm OPKing my heart off thanks to a very irregular cycle I never know exactly when I will O although I'm pretty sure it will be closer to the end of the week. Anyway, hi! :-D
Hey Primal!!! I definitely remember you! I took off July as well. Hoping we both get our BFPs this month! What cycle TTC are you? This is cycle 4 for me.
4 for me too essnce. Seems like longer, I think because I'm remembering the 5 years it took to conceive our first. Have to keep reminding myself it's not even half a year!
Lya and Blue- BIG CONGRATS!! So happy for both of you!! It's great to see some BFPs in this thread!
Livethe3- Wow that sounds incredibly frustrating! I am so sorry that you are dealing with all of that. Ugh. I really hope the upped dosage of clomid does the trick and next month is your month, so you don't have to deal with this mess any longer.
Primal- Welcome!
SO that OPK that I thought was positive last week most definitely was not. I got my real positive yesterday. I feel good about our attempt and hope to see a BFP in like 11 days. That feels like forever away!
Congrats bluebonnet!!!
Good luck Hairbows!!!
Thank you essnce!!
