So the next morning after using preseed, does it come out looking like regular cm? Anybody notice?
I don't find that with the Preseed, but I do find I have lots of CM afterwards!
GL to all you in the 2ww!!! True, have you tested again yet?
Go ash!!! Just saw your Opk update in the 2ww forum!! Exciting! :bluecheer:
Thx, I'm super excited!! It seems like it took forever for me to get that +opk!!
How is everyone doing? Can we all update on where we are in cycle? Ash and Goodmum, I think you're in 2ww. Taytum? True - have you tested again or do you think this is not the month for you?
I'm CD 12, expecting to O in about a week, so getting geared up again!
I also wondered if any of you had used or were considering using instead cups when TTC? I used them with both girls after a few months of BFNs and had instant BFPs, so much as I really want to keep it totally 'natural' this time I can feel myself being drawn back to using them again!
Hi foxcubblue ... m 7dpo today ...m trying not to test before 8 dpo but may b i will drag now to 9dpo :) and will test thn ...
Hope u O soon and this becomes ur month... good luck ...
I'm 12dpo definitely out this cycle. Due AF Tuesday :) looking forward to its arrival and get going again!!
Good luck to everyone :cheerteam:
I'm CD3, getting ready to start Clomid 50mg 5-9! We'll be going on vacation the 1st-5th so I really hope I can confirm O with at least one temp before leaving! Otherwise we may just be doing OED, as that's probably right in my fertile week! Ugh.
What do the cups do? I've never used them, but have always laid still for 10 mins after with a pillow under my hips. I'll be interested to find out more about them!

Yay Foxcub, not too far out!! I've never used the instead cups but If you want to, go for it!! Especially if it helps you get your bfp!!
I'm 3dpo, so barely in the 2ww... Still a looonnngg way to go till testing! Even though I'll prob start early knowing I'll see the bfns.... Can't help it!
GL everybody! Let's get us some boys, lol!!:bluecheer::bluecheer::bluecheer:
Taytum~ can you use opks to find when you O? Otherwise, do you get ewcm? Maybe when you see some of that, you can dtd several days in a row??
Vacation sounds fun though! Take your mind off of ttc for awhile!
I will use OPKs before leaving and during vacation, but I've had times with +OPK and no ovulation. [emoji17] I'm afraid temping will be harder on vacay, but will try! And unfortunately I don't get any EWCM, mostly just watery. So I'll be taking preseed with us too! So I'll be Hoping this small dose of Clomid is enough to kick those eggies out! And maybe just EOD while on vacay to relax and hope that helps! [emoji4]

Taytum it's possible we will be attempting on vacation too if we don't get a BFP before then so I have decided to sway hard right up until vacation and then relax. I'm going to stick to EOD and add a couple of extra attempts around the time I expect to O. I don't want to bring the stress of swaying away with us. No opks, no charting just relaxation and fun!!
I'm CD15, hopefully O will show up any day now. Last month it was CD20, so maybe by the end of the week:)
I think I'll be too anxious on the Clomid to give it all up, but I think the OPKs will give me a good idea and then I can hopefully get a positive then try to get 3x in the next 48hrs. Or, maybe I won't O until we're back! Haha.
Good luck, tfahn! Lots of blue baby dust! [emoji170][emoji92][emoji170]

I love a good book!! Thank you I will look out for that one :) reading takes my mind off swaying.
Wrong thread but right poster :D
I really hope that clomid gives you that bfp Taytum!! Even if you just did EOD, you'd get at least 2 attempts in the fertile window... I've notice a lot of boy moms either dtd all week in the window or just twice! Fx for all you ladies:fx:
True - lol I got ya! Yes, give it a try; it helped the time go by in my 2ww for sure!
Ash - yeah I think a lot of people said they did EOD and ended with boys. Depending on timing I might have 3 attempts in. Hoping with OPKs I can still pinpoint O then get in several attempts!
Does anyone else use the Kindara app as well to chart? I do, but was wondering if anyone else did and wanted to follow there as well! I'm Taytum on there as well haha[emoji4]

I haven't heard kindara... Will have to check it out!
Hi Goodmom! Have you tested yet?Quote:

Ash - GL! My fingers are crossed for you!
Fox, those sound like a great idea! I may have to get some as laying around sometimes isn't the most convenient lol. I really hope this cycle works for you! Can't wait to follow along!
We're going down to a big lake (Lake of the Ozarks for the fourth!). Friends of ours have a house on the lake so we go boating and all that for a few days. Extra vitamin D! [emoji4]

Taytum - that sounds amazing! Lake houses are something we can only dream of over here in the grey UK (as is getting any natural vitamin d!)
Yes! Life is always better at the lake! [emoji6] I always wondered about that...do you guys usually get some sun?

Taytum~ I'm actually from Missouri & we would go to the lake of the ozarks a lot!! Have fun!
Foxcub~ I hope you catch the egg b4 he does the cycling!

Goodluck to u and to all other ladies swaying/testing ....[emoji173]
CD16 and I think my OPK 's are getting darker today so hopefully O will be here soon. BD this AM since that was our EOD attempt, if the OPK turns positive today would you BD again this evening?
Almost freaked out this morning when my temp jumped up like .4 since my OPK's have not been positive I thought I missed the big O, but I checked last month's chart and the same thing occurred on CD16 and that month I didn't O until CD20. Hopefully my temp comes down tomorrow or else I would have only had 1, maybe 2, attempts in the window.
Ash - really? I'm from Iowa so we try to go down often! Our friends have a house close to the Horny Toad so we're over in that area. [emoji4]
Goodmom - it's probably too early for your tests...fingers crossed BFP at 11dpo!
Tfahn- if you BD'd today and get a positive this afternoon I would BD tonight, tomorrow morning and tomorrow night, or since you already have an attempt in today, wait until tomorrow morning and tomorrow night. Good luck!! [emoji92]
First day of Clomid and no side effects! Yay!
Edit: I lied. I have some stretchy CM. [emoji15] I never get that unless we've been BDing!

So excited about Goodmum's BFP!!!
Taytum - we do actually sometimes get sun here, but it is often rather grey and drizzly!! Top temps in summer are about 28oc so not too hot.
When are you expecting to ovulate this cycle? We might have our fertile window at the same time I think!
Yes congrats Goodmum! Lead the way for a blue bean for us! [emoji4]
I bet you're used to it there; I just couldn't live without continual sunshine! I would actually love to move south to have more sun and warm weather all the time. You are a tough cookie in my eyes with grey and drizzly! Haha
I'm thinking (hoping) CD16. They say 5-7 days after last Clomid pill, so I'm going on the long end and going to say CD16. Although earlier would be great! Got some creamy cm this morning.
When are you hoping to O? I'm just excited to actually think I will O this month! Haha

Well, I'm CD 15 today, and last month it was Cd 20 (although that was a bit of a shock - month before that it was cd 35!!!! Although I think mainly due to the pregnacare tablets I was taking which I dropped on atomic's advice). So hoping it will happen in about 5 days' time. I have quite a lot of ewcm at the mo and put in my instead cup yesterday to catch some, which I ph tested and it was 8.5!!!! I know ph isn't meant to matter, but I was still pretty pleased!
I have an uncle who lives in Springfield - is that anywhere near you?! I would love hotter, sunnier summers and colder, snowier winters - we seriously considered emigrating to Canada for a while!! Hard to leave family though ��
EWCM is a good indication of hopeful impending O! And that's great with the PH levels! Hoping those are all great signs for you. Are you doing OPKs too?
Yeah - one state over! [emoji4] Probably about a 6hr drive from me...so similar weather! I was surprised at how similar Canada's weather was to me; I figured it snowed year round lol. They said it just snows more, but they do get warm summers as well!

Finally got my +OPK yesterday on CD17, no temp spike yet.
Foxcub~ do you know what state your uncle lives in? There is a Springfield in about every state!!
It's super hot here! But of course without all the humidity!! I'm getting nervous about testing on Saturday... I'm only going to be 9 dpo so should I just wait?
Tahn~ GL!!!
With DD1 I had a really faint positive on 9 dpo, the Next's day test was easier to see. I am going to try to hold out to 10 dpo this time, easier said then done :)
It is hard to wait! I almost tested today when I woke up, luckily though, they were downstairs & I was upstairs & had to pee too bad!! It was a close one though, hehe
Turns out it's not Springfield at all....it's Fairfield, Iowa! (Too much Simpsons in my life!). I thought the Iowa bit rang a bell!
Ash, I can't believe you have held out to 9dpo, I always start at 7!! Well done!!! I had positive with both my girls at 9dpo so it can be done!
Ash - good willpower! Will you be for sure testing tomorrow at 10dpo? So excited for you!!
Fox - yes, I live in Iowa! So exact same weather lol. I'm more central than Fairfield, but what a crazy, small world! [emoji4]

Thx ladies!! Actually Taytum I'm going to be 9 dpo tomorrow.... So don't have enough will power to hold out for 10dpo, lol!! Even though if it's a negative like I'm expecting, I'll wait till Monday!! That's when AF is due anyway... Eeeeek, I'm going to have to do some extra distracting stuff so today goes by fast!! My hubby thinks I'm def preggo b/c all the bding we did!! I told him that's not the way it always works, ha! If it's a bfn, I think next time We will not dtd 7x in a row....:cool:
Good luck Ash and all other ladies ...Hope u all get bfps... :)
