With my symtoms I thought for sure it would be a BFP. If it hadn't been for that I would have not expected +. I am out of tests now :(
b3b if you didn't test him before the diet who knows, but regardless that pH is great for him!
WP, I'm so sorry about the BFN :-( Are you still having symptoms or do you feel like AF is on the way?
B - thanks! My next appt isn't for 3 wks, but I'll be asking for another peek then.
B3b- thanks, when's your first attempt?
Wp- sorry for the bfn, when is af due? If ff is wrong it may still be too early.
Ok who's attempting and testing soon?!
YAYYYYYY 3pnb, what a cutie pie!!!! Oh, honey, I am so happy for you! Now we just gotta wait 7 more weeks for a hopefully more revealing pic...you are finding out, right?
WP, I am sorry hun. I know it sucks big time to get bfns. Did you use opks? You may have O'ed later. Are you nursing still? That can throw you off with your cycles also, as you probably know. I'd love to peek at your chart. To link it, you go to the toolbar menu on the top right where it says "share" and then you copy and paste the url link onto your siggy here. There is one that says for web pages, and one for boards, so try the boards one first. I think that is the one that works for me.
Heather, ITA with Begonia, that is a good ph and don't feel bad....I may be the only one who has never tested my DH's semen. I did test our "mixture" once, but it's kinda par for the course with blue swayers! Testing your cm is hard. Honestly, the best way to do it, and this is totally ewwwww, is to either wait till you poo, because the force usually makes some come out too, or you can put in instead cup up there and see if it collects any. That didn't work well for me, but I just did it the first way a few times. I never got too crazy about my cm ph, because I knew I'd be adding preseed or ew, and a bsf also, which would all raise it at the most important time. However, I did test my pee a lot to see if my general body ph was changing with the diet, which it did. Others might have some better cm testing advice, but the poop method was the only way I could get a "sample" that was enough to really test. Your vag walls are acidic, so you can't just stick it up there, you will get an inaccurate reading.
Kris, how are you feeling? Do you have a scan appt scheduled in the next couple of weeks?
As for me, I had a nice dip today (7dpo), so FX it's an implant dip. I can't believe I'm temping again, because it gets me kind of obsessive, but oh well, it's informative. I woke up in the middle of the night and was manhandling my boobs, because I was asleep on my stomach and they didn't hurt anymore, so I got all worried and upset and couldn't sleep for an hour because of it. But then I had a good temp, so hey, I feel better now. I think I am going to test on Sunday at 9dpo, I just cannot help myself. They say you will get a + 2 days after implantation, so we'll see.
Lola- we weren't going to find out but lately dh really wants to. All the u/s pics have him all excited so we probably will. Yeah for temp dip and testing soon, fx for a bfp.
Well FF changed my O date....like I thought they would. From CD15 to CD 18.....so I am 11dpo AGAIN.
Lola your right I am nursing and it does mess things up a bit, but I kind of thought I Oed on CD18, but FF kept say different. Oh well...lets see if the chart comes up.....
My Ovulation Chart
Edited to say, no I didn't do OPKs. I don't feel like AF is coming right now....no cramps or spotting or anything.
Oh quick question:
Do you think I should continue to do situps when I do get a +?
I know it could still be a few more cycles until I see my +, but I was thinking about it while doing my weights last night.
WP- I've got no help for ya on this, charts like that are why I stopped temping and just relied on opk's. Fx you can get this figured out and get your bfp soon!
Well, it does look like if that is your correct O day, you got some bd'ing in so that is good! I think it's ok to do situps if you are used to doing them....I don't think the 2ww is the time to start anything new though. I usually take it easy on the working out during the 2ww and just do gentle stuff like walk the dogs or yoga. But, that is good news about being back to 11dpo, because LOTS of ladies don't see a + until after that. :noaf:Quote:

Jen I'm excited you might find out; I was told at 16 weeks with DD2 so I bet you might even get to know at the next appointment! Will you have them write it down for you and go somewhere or will you have them just tell you? I remember a friend of mine had her gender u/s in November and they had the tech write it down, then they wrapped it up and opened it as a family (they already had a son) on Christmas day. That was pretty sweet. I really think if DH wasn't so into the surprise I probably would do something like that. I definitely wouldn't want to hear it just laying there on the table again, I have far too much emotion wrapped up in this and don't want to cry in front of a stranger, LOL.
I do think if we can get past our anatomy scan w/o finding out I'll be able to make it. I will say that I have abandoned my whole approach to just think of it as girl #3, because I've found that mentality is really making me upset. I can honestly say in the LONG RUN when I think about my whole life, I will be a-ok with having 3 daughters. But right now, I want to believe we will have a son because otherwise I'm just not enjoying my pg. So while it may disappoint me in the end I am very much hoping this is our boy. Thinking of it as a girl does me more bad than good, so I might as well go with the option that makes me happy for the next 6-7 months!
Oh Lola I SO hope you're pg!!!! Go ahead and test at 9dpo, no harm in trying! I skipped 9 and tested on 8 (lol) and 10, but I wonder if I could have seen it on 9. It was totally, totally negative at 8 though.
WP, you are definitely still in this game for this month, esp since it looks like you BD'd right on your O day! So yesterday you were only 10 dpo; will you test again or just wait for AF? How are the symptoms, still there? And FWIW I do still do sit-ups. ITA with Lola that you can continue exercise your body is used to doing already. I'm still doing weights and elliptical about 3x a week right now.
Lola, remind me, are you UK?? What tests have you got?? Mine showed a + at 8 dpo, I have some left and am happy to send them over to you 1st thing so you can catch that early bfp:fx:
Hi all, just an update from me. We lost bub and had d and c yesterday. All ok though we r youngish and I have 3 fantastic girls. You what they say sometimes you need to lose something in order to appreciate it more!
Mr dr was happy for me to try again as he said I am a pretty low risk factor of it happening again but think we will hold iffy till dec Jan and have some me time and fun with the girls!
Goodluck to the rest of you and in the nicest possible way, I hope I don't see u on here when I come back in dec!!!
Take care and blue dust to u all!
Actually, sorry just one more question..... I have heard u r super fertile after a d and c as it's all cleaned out! Sorry tmi!
Do u think this is good for tcc a boy? I may consider trying oct if so? Does anyone know how to improve egg quality!! Want to make sure I have a good one next time!!! My dr said I can just wait one af then go for it, any advice on that waoul b great!!
WP- I'm only unsure of your O because of your CM. Either way though you've got great timing and are definitely not out! Your temps are nice and high.
3pnb- I'm hoping to try in October. DH loves to teeter back and forth as to whether to TTC at all. One day he's fine, the next he wants to wait a year! Meanwhile he's happily taking supplements and chatting with me about swaying so I have no idea honestly. I very much want a baby..like yesterday..especially after just having a loss (oops bfp) so we'll see what happens. I'm fairly certain it won't take much persuasion come Oct lol.
Lola & Begonia thank you ladies so much! I'll be using preseed too so I guess I won't even bother trying to figure out my own ph. I have a lunette cup I was going to try that I may still do for kicks!
ams- I'm so sorry to read about your loss mama. Hugs to you and your family and sticky vibes for your next one!
ams- A mama on here, Atomic I believe, told me that post m/c cycles swayed girl. So I think Oct would be good for you too, and it's a peak boy month apparently.
Thanks ladies for the advice. If I can get to the store, I will test again on Monday if no AF. Seems so weird that you guys are getting BFP on 8-10dpo and I am 11dpo and nothing....kind of makes me think I am out for the month. I was using FRER, too.
I am so sorry ams. You sound like you are taking so well. I had to have that done with mc #3. Get lots of rest.
I don't think it's common but one of my friends was a week late when she finally got her bfp via blood test (still no stick bfp). She went on to have a boy and had her dates right!! So fingers crossed.
Oh honey, I am SO SORRY! I hope you all are doing ok!!!!! I will pm you about all of the supps and stuff I took, because I had two m/c in a row, as you can see in my siggy. I was all about pumping up my health and egg quality. HUGE CYBER HUGS! Seems like you have a great attitude about it. There is really not much you can do but mourn for a bit and then move forward. Bear with me with the pm, my freaking office just filled with smoke and I had to call 911, it was crazy but no damage, just an elevator motor that was about to blow and putting off tons of noxious smoke. So, I'm tired, and trying to take it easy since I *think* things are implanting today. I hope. But anyway, I will write you later for sure!!!!Quote:

My dr told me to wait for 3 full cycles to pass before ttc again after my last loss. I did have a natural m/c, but being that I was 10wks, she said it really is best to let your homones and uterus settle down and your lining to renew itself a few times. After my 5wk m/c in January, we took Feb off and then ttc and got pg in March, but that was the 10wk loss. Who knows if my lining couldn't sustain.....I don't know, but I REALLY would wait at least 2 cycles, 3 if you can. xxooQuote:

But don't worry, if you scan FF charts like I do because I am a huge nerd, you will see that bfp day ranges very widely, with the majority of them around 12dpo. Of course, that may be due to many women waiting to test, but still. Just hang tight and test again!!!Quote:

I o's 2 days early this months..but i am thinking is might supps and diet, but who knows. Thank god I can feel when it's happening so I took a smiley and Bam there it was!
Anyway. I started dreaming about being pregnant so I know I am ready! Last time I started dreaming about pregnancy I was pregnant with DD 3 months later. I even drempt of DD's face. She came out looking exactly as she did in my dreams. The other night I drempt of a an 8lb baby boy, he was so beautiful. Last night i drempt i was nursing my baby (gender unknown)
Anyways, I have been out of town my best freinds mom passed away. Its been aweful, my heart hearts. I miss her. Its just so sad. She had cancer Diagnosed in March passed July 25th. SO fast and so young. I came home from service and have sick ever since.
looking forward to my cousin's Bachelorette Party at the end of this months and then her wedding and then getting myself knocked up (HOPEFULLY) FX!!!!
What else have I missed!!
xoxo
OH ps 3pn love the baby shots! looks fab!!! xoxo
B- it'll just be another peek at 16 wks, though I'd have them write it down if they offer to take a look. My BFF will be with me but I don't think she'll be able to contain her reaction either way and I fear I'd badger the crap out of her till she spilled it lol I'd rather wait till the big one at 20 wks, dh will be with me so we can find out together. I agree, I don't want to hear it on a table in front of a stranger again, they look at you like you are such an asshole if you're not completely excited with what they say.
AMS- so sorry Hun, big, big hug. After my d&c in Oct I was told to wait 2-3 months so taking a bit of time off to heal (physically and emotionally) is always a good thing. Lola is the queen of healthy egg info so wait for that pm.
B3blue- my Dh was terrified to ttc again, he was so happy with his 3 little girls, but I'll admit I harassed lol Willingly scarfing sups and talking about it is a good sign. I'm sure once Oct rolls around he'll be anxious to give it a go lol
Wp- tink was crazy late 30ish days if I remember right before she got her bfp w/dd1. I had a stone - bfn at 10dpo and a light + at 12 dpo, this time I didn't test till 12 dpo (with a frer) and it was light but definitely there. Don't give up yet, it's not over till the red bitch arrives lol
Tink- woohoo for baby dreams! Sorry about your friends mom it's so hard but yet such a blessing when it happens that fast. Fx for quick bfp.
Hi Lola, My scan isn't until the 19th. It's coming around fast but not fast enough! We're so excited about it :)Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks like this or should I just test and get it over?11dpo may still be too early yet though ....aaarrrggghhh!
Ams, I'm sorry you had to go throught the mc and d&c. **Hugs**
Tink, sorry about your friend's mom.
You will both be in my prayers.
WP, sorry you got a bfn. I will watch for an update from you!!
We are trying to stay cool; not easy to do in August in SW MO!!
Take care, Ladies!!
Jane, that's a tough call. Lots of us can't wait that long....I know I can't! A large percentage will get a bfp by 11dpo. I would say test if you want to. If you do tomorrow at 12dpo, and use a FRER, I would say it's not too early. But, I hate seeing the stark white tests, so I understand the desire to wait.Quote:

I am really sorry for your loss AMS, I hope the best for you! Hope to see you soon in the next few months! Hugs!
Thanx for comments,I think I'll stick to my original plan to wait and see if af comes:-( then I know wether to buy more opks or preg tests!
Good for you Jane! I've promised myself that I won't test until I'm late next go round. I even shipped off almost all of my ICs to a sweet US mama in Argentina LOL. She said it was so hard for her to get tests where she was and I figured that would be perfect to get past my poas addiction. Thankfully my LP is only 10 days so I won't have to wait a full two weeks!
My posts are not showing up!!!
Edited to trya again.....
Jane: You are so right not test until AF is due. I normally wait a little longer, but everyone getting their 10-11dpo BFP made me anxious. If I have a cycle next month, I am with you....no tests in the house until after AF is due. When I was TTCing DS2 I would wait until 14dpo and go to the store to buy a test, after 2 mc I became a POAS addict and it was starting to get out of hand....that was the only solution.
Thanks everyone for the encouragment. It has been a wacky long cycle.
Yea, I can't wait till 14dpo. Like 3pnb said, it's torment either way, and I'd rather test than wait. But, I'm not going to test way early or anything, usually 10dpo is my earliest, but since I had a big dip and cramps yesterday, I am thinking of going for it tomorrow.
And HEY Tink! I hope you are doing well! Sounds like you have a few good times and are ready to rock & roll, love it!
Do you take progesterone?Quote:

My doc said the stress could be contributing to my BFNs the last two cycles. He said to "have fun." lol Gonna try to take his advice! DH is getting very stressed out. Just thinking about how much the delivery is going to cost. On top of the $1,000 deductible we have to meet first, insurance only covers 80% of maternity care. So, that's at least $1,500 we will have to pay out (I'll be having a c-section) plus the deductible so, $2,500. :( It's really bugging him.
Tell him that a child for the rest of your life is cheap for $2500. Men!! I am taking green tea capsules now because I hate the taste of the tea. Hope they work as well!
Just remember to keep your FA up on the green tea, and take it at a different time of day maybe 2 hrs clearance:agree:
My gym is open 24/7 so I go when the kids are in bed at night usually ;)Quote:
