Dutchgirl- I will test next Thursday if I don't have any pre-AF spotting that I usually get.
I am hopeful that my appointment is fruitful tomorrow with the RE. I hope there is more blood work to be done and supplements that I can take. I am really thinking about doing acupuncture. It is so much cheaper than other fertility treatments. We'll see! Maybe I won't need anything and will have a surprise BFP....😊

Dutchgirl: I had what felt like something biting my uterus last Saturday and Sunday as well, you had mentioned needles. Maybe that's a good sign and I did ovulate last week:). maybe I'm just being symptom sensitive and making things up in my silly head:/
Good luck to you!!
I am in the tww. Ugh I hate the tww lol. We dtd (withdrawal method) cd 8, 9, 11, 12 and I think I may have Od on cd 13. I know chances are pretty small but hoping!! I'm still breastfeeding a lot so don't know if I actually even od. 2dpo today, trying to keep busy lol. Baby dust all x
Thank you True, sage, 2boys and XX! Good luck to you all as well as tarasue and kate (kate, did you actually have a proper attempt or did DH pull out every single time? Have you ever gotten pregnant that way before?) I am excited for you ladies almost far enough along to start testing! How many DPO is everone? When is everyone planning to start testing or will most of you wait until AF is late? Is anyone 9 or more DPO already?
As for me, it's now been a bit over 24 hours since my attempt and I haven't Oed yet (my temp was still very low this am), which I'm happy about. I have been having almost O pain on and off today and 90% of the time I ovulate around 2-4am; I hope and expect to O then this cycle as well, so approximately 30 hours after my attempt - pretty ideal timing! My OPKs today are still positive but definitely lighter than yesterday which also gives me hope that I will O soon and not in another 24 hours (or more, god forbid!).
Within an hour after BD I started having copious EWCM - as I usually do while fertile and not swaying - and today as well I've had more than usual while swaying, though not copiously like last night. This has happened before while swaying, in the cycles when I was TTC; it's like BD activates something, a trigger that stimulates massive EWCM production. So I really think part of why I'm so dry while swaying (which is such a huge difference from my normally soaked state for at least a week before O) is due to celibacy, and atomic's theory about regular/frequent sex swaying blue via more than just sperm count or pH is very likely correct. I find this fascinating!
The only thing off is my cervix, which still hasn't softened fully and has lowered a bit already; my cervix has always been my most reliable fertile sign in terms of pinpointing O, especially this past year while swaying and taking Vitex, both which frequently cause my other signs to be misleading and unpredictable. I have never Oed without having a high, soft cervix at some point before or during O, in all my time charting my cervical state. And the only thing different this month is the strict intermittent fasting I've been doing over the past 2 weeks, and loss of body fat, though my liposuction was almost 6 weeks ago, 2 weeks before I Oed last cycle, and my cervix acted totally normal then...
If anyone read all of that, thank you! I didn't intend to go on for so long...and fx I didn't jinx myself by expecting to O tonight; I'm foolishly superstitious that way. Anyone else silly that way or just me?
GL Kate! I hope you caught the egg! I try to stay busy, but my mind wanders. This time I am not testing unless I am for sure AF is not on the way or late.
FX for more BFPs!!

Good luck maiden I hope you O soon!! Are you close friends with the doner?? (Tell me to mind my own if I'm prying! Lol just curious ��). We might have concieved our girl that way or a day after O with him actually finishing up there. If anyone could get pregnant that way it'd be us lol! He didn't actually go up there at all this time. We will just keep "not trying" with the pre ejac and see!!
Oh and XX me too about not testing early. I spend waaay too much on pregnancy tests and it's so dissapointing seeing a bfn!
AF due in 2 days! I took a IC, yesterday, but it was neg. Trying no to test until the 9th-10th. Ugh, the 2ww is winning!
I read every word maiden!!! Good luck and hope tonight's the night you let loose an egg!!
Kate- if by chance I did ovulate already and we did get pregnant my dh has been pulling out. Only time will tell if the stars were lined up enough and if we were holding our tongues just right to actually get pregnant with an attempt not knowing if or when I O'd and dh pulling out!
Soooo, as I was taking a shower and noticed I am bloated. It is strange, I am bloated up high near my belly button. DH walked in and said, "Oh my God, you are pregnant!" I don't think I am, I think AF is going to show up early since I Oed on CD13 this cycle. I too have felt the tingling/searing sensation in my uterus. Plus, I have been super hungry! I must be making a good amount of progesterone. At least my hormones appear to be getting back on the right track. I really don't think I am pregnant and don't plan to test at all until after the 14th.

Tarasue, do you guys always use withdrawal? Good luck I hope everything was aligned!! And XX I bet you are how exciting!! Fingers crossed xxxx
I am bloated, nauseous and hungry, my back is aching, boobs are sore and pelvis feels like it's being stretched and pulled. If I am not pregnant I can't imagine what is going on?!?! I wish it can be true for me and all of you ladies;)
I don't recall having such severe and early symptoms like this when pregnant with my boys. I am maybe 7dpo- I feel like this is extreme. May have something to do with the miscarriage? I am not sure what to think! I may test on Thursday, 9-10 dpo. What do you all think?
2boysjustonegirl- FX you are pregnant! I bet your hormones are nice and high coming off of your miscarriage. I have good feelings about this!!!!

I'm having all those symptoms you all are listing, plus I feel like I have extra saliva.?. Hungry, I am so hungry!!!
No Kate we never have used the withdrawal method. I am coming off a miscarriage last month and was using withdrawal as prevention until I get my first Af after my dnc... I would be thrilled if we caught a egg by accident, but part of me wanted to play it safe and have a full cycle before ttc.
I had my follow up appt today and my dr. Reassured me that if by chance we do get pregnant before I cycle there is no greater chance of loosing the baby again than if we were to wait. As of tonight we are ALL IN ttc again:).
Sorry for your loss xx. Good luck tht would be awesome to have caught that egg and mega PINK sway!! Mega low sperm and first time after miscarriage, good luck!!!
I know my chance are really slim but I woke up this morn with a really sore ear. So weird but when I'm pregnant my ears get really sore and bendy when I sleep on them. No idea why. I doubt it'd be like that at 2dpo but interesting! And a stabby pain in my boob!
No symptoms here at 9dpo or thereabouts, trying not to overthink .......
XX i hope you have your BFP! Good signs!
Kate, fx for you as well that you catch your O.
Maiden i hope you O soon! I read all of you post :bigsmile:
I'm as well very good in seeing signs that maybe just normal, but everything i feel i hope it's because of a BFP :pray:
Good luck for the ladies who are bloated, nausea and hungry. I really hope you test positive!
I'm only hungry...I stick with the diet so no breakfast unfortunately. Just took a cappuccino to fill my stomac a bit.
Yesterday evening i had these cramps like a light AF on its way, but now i feel just nothing...
I remember from last time that 3 days before i expected my AF my boobs where really sore.
I'm today 6DPO and i think i'm gonna waith at least until next thursday untill i test. Last time i tested negative on the day i expected my AF so i don't want to be disappointed when i test early. I hate negative tests...
Just stopping by to say I am following this thread and to cheer everyone on:)
I am not posting much because I am in severe " Debbie Downer" mode. I don't want to rub off on everyone, so I am keeping quiet. Cd4 for me.
Good Luck Everyone!!!
I am loosing hope that I will get a BFP. I checked my CM this morning and it was light pink tinged. Usually this means that in another 5-6 days I will get my pre-AF spotting 😢. I have my RE appointment today so I have something to look forward to- getting a plan for next cycle! I will update my other post in the TTC Help and Infertility Support thread today...if you're curious.
GL to the rest of you ladies! I will stop by and check to see if you get your BFPS!

I think Af is starting today as well. I could be wrong, I spotted the day before I got my positive test in November. Either way I am just glad to see something happen, a starting point one way or the other!
Anyone thought of using soy ISO? I took it the cycle I conceived ds2. I don't want to do anything to sway blue, but it took me almost four weeks to ovulate my November cycle. Thoughts?
Just curious... How many of you were in November 2ww? It seems like there are a lot of us still bouncing from month to month TWW or in my case back from a devastating loss. We are all so deserving of so sticky healthy bfp's! Now who's going to be the first to start this months Bfp train?
I was is the November 2ww train. Who knows when I'll get off the TTC train! Just waiting another week or so for AF to start...

I started in December 2ww so my second stop along the way :running:
I started in the August 2ww....and counting

I, pathetically, have been in the 2ww forums since last February. Although I have stopped posting most of the time since its getting really hard. I feel your pain.
I started getting pink ewm yesterday and more spotting today. I'm 12 dpo so I'm expecting my period to start in 2 days. I knew I only had a slim chance but it's still disappointing 😔 so much harder trying for a girl with the one attempt. My husband is cooking breakfast and I would love some but sticking with the diet.... I admire you girls who stick with the diet and exercise for so long. I can't afford to lose much more weight since will have to start just maintaining my current weight I think...

Sunbuny- I have been in weight maintenance mode the better part of four months now!
GL ladies! I know with perseverance we will get our hearts desire! I just know it! And this says a lot coming from a woman who has been ttcing for 6 months and counting...unless I get a BFP in a week...here's to hoping for a miracle!!!

I've been on the boards since November 2013, but didn't start my sway till February 2014. It took 5 cycles for me to finally get pregnant (both my boys were oopsies with no trying) but I did take a few months off in between. I got pregnant in September but had a miscarriage in October at 7 weeks. DH doesn't want any more kids and has been talking about getting a vasectomy and has been using condoms or pulling out ever since, so I haven't really been posting since my chances of getting pregnant are slim.Quote:

Low ferritin causes symptoms almost identical to low thyroid, as well as poor egg quality. I also found out I have low cortisol and a homozygous MTHFR mutation, which increases the risk of repeat miscarriages. My magnesium and vitamin D levels were low too which is a result of swaying (stopped all supplements in Nov 2013).
So, needless to say, I had to pretty much stop swaying to get healthy again. I'm eating red meat almost daily, taking 300mg of iron daily, switched from folic acid to folate, starting taking vitamin D and magnesium again, and the endocrinologist is having me take a more in depth cortisol test to see if my pituitary and adrenal glands are working properly.
So that's my story on why I'm mostly lurking!
I used soy ISO when I conceived in October. My cycle was very long the month prior, I o on cd 23 or something. So I took it the next month and o on cd 14. I believe it helped but I don't know for sure. I think from what I read, and knowing it "acts" the same way Clomid does, that it sways pink to some extent and the reason it may sway blue is due to the excess EWCM it may help produce.Quote:

Hi,
Hope I can join in here, long time stalker first time poster. I discovered this page after the birth of my second son (failed IG sway) and we are now trying for #4. Will be my 8th pregnancy (4 m/c, DD8, DS7, DS2.5) and hoping for one more daughter to complete our family. I've been on the LE diet for almost 23 weeks, no breakfast, vegetarian plus a host of other sway tactics recommended here.
Last month was our first attempt and I was very hopeful as all the other pregnancies have been conceived first go but alas AF found me :-( So I started charting again and here I am 14dpo, AF due tomorrow, no signs she's on her way, temp still up and terrified!!! I know that this is my last shot at another DD and know that if I am pregnant it's done, my fate is sealed, what will be already is! I'll be testing on Saturday (16dpo) unless AF shows in the mean time.
So please keep your fingers crossed for me and I hope we all get beautiful BFP's to start off the year!
Missy pink dust to you xxxx
Essnce so sorry to hear yor hubby wants to quit....
Missy fx for you!!
Yesterdag evening the nausea kicked in! I first thougt it was because of the chocolate that i ate after the meal, but this morning it was still there. And hubby said that my boobs are a bit bigger.
If i'm not pregnant then my body is playing a really anoiing game with me...
Thanks Kate & Dutch girl, fingers crossed this is the month for us all!
Hopefully those are good signs for you Dutch girl, fx!
I get hypermesis when I'm pregnant but it doesn't start until around 6 weeks but hangs around until 20-25 weeks.
Normal the day before AF I would be feeling really bloated, heavy and yuck but have none of that at the moment. Although my weight has gone up a little according to the scales in the last week but I don't feel it in my clothes? Fertility friend said bloating and retaining water is very important in early pregnancy to increase blood volume to support the embryo, so hopefully that's where my weight is!
Tomorrow is going to be the longest day ever!
