Dreamy December 2WW

:happy: Congrats Kelbear! We'll see you in the Aug. Due date group.

Just to update, I haven't had any more bleeding and I am now on 17DPO and my tests have gotten darker I'm just going to assume things are ok.

XX, honestly, I wouldn't get too hung up on the year mark if I were you. There's a difference between trying for a year under optimal circumstances, where you're really looking at a couple's normal fertility, and trying immediately after you gave birth and while breastfeeding, where you know your body is really below it's normal fertility, which could be compounded by LE diet and vitamin deficiency. I really think that MOST women's bodies are not meant to conceive only a few months after childbirth, just given that from an evolutionary point of view there would've been a greater risk of being too depleted/malnourished to sustain a pregnancy, and so your body was just trying to do its job by not conceiving sooner. I would address the vitamin D situation before you let the timeline worry you too much. FX you won't be waiting too much longer for your BFP though. :FX:

Really glad to hear you are doing ok Erin, I had been wondering how you were getting on.

Is anyone waiting to test soon?

We're doing E4D this month and I'm not going to chart or do OPKs at all, there's just too much going on with the holiday season.

I still have to test. I O'd early this month CD9, waiting for one more day to confirm with FF.

Tested this morning. Bfn 10dpo. 😢
And it's to the point now my eyes are playing tricks on me and I swear I see two lines (faint) but it's literally just my imagination.

Robin, "line eye" is the worst. Sorry about the BFN, when do you expect AF if it comes?

10 dpo is still early. I have seen people get positive tests after negative ones as late as 12 DPO (and in two cases, even negatives 14 DPO that turned positive by CD 16)

I agree 10 DPO is early to rest and not conclusive @Robin2014. GL on getting your BFP in a few more days!

Robin, I was going to say the same thing as atomic and meanveggiegal. Check again in a couple days if AF doesn't show. GL!

Fingers crossed for you Robin that it was just too early to test, hoping you get a bfp in the next few days.
Good luck to all those still waiting to test.

My DH cancelled his vasectomy!!!!

I'm SO excited!!!

Yay! Good luck to you and your family.

That is fantastic news xx, he must really be onboard for number 4 :happy:

He said that his heart wants another baby but his mind gets in the way sometimes. He said that I've been so patient with him and not been pushy. He said he doesn't want to have any regrets not trying.

I'm so glad! This takes a load off my shoulders! It's nice that we are both on the same page, and I don't have to keep wondering if he's going to want to stop NTNP (although unbeknownst to him we've been having well timed BDing [emoji6]).

Yeah XX, that is awesome news. So happy for you.

That's awesome XX, I really hope you get your 4th.

AFM, I think AF will be coming early this cycle. I'm 8 dpo today but have had 2 days in a row of below coverline temps and I have been feeling crampy. I am assuming this is just a short cycle after stopping the BCP, hopefully next cycle I will go back to a normal LP.

XX,

I am so very happy your DH cancelled!

I'll bet you get pg very soon now that you don't have the extra stress of a deadline. :)

XX i am so happy for you :) good on your DH. He sure seems like an awesome guy. watching and waiting for your BFP my friend

Good news XX, glad you'll get #4! Gotta happen at some point! That's what I tell myself. ; )

AF arrived for me yesterday, 3 weeks after the D&C so that's good it didn't take long. So I'll be in the Jan 2ww at this point!

So confused with this cycle: 3 Lower temps in a row with no AF yet so FF took away my crosshairs this morning. I had EWCM this morning too but a took OPK's Monday and today and they were both negative. At this point I don't know what to expect, O or AF :)

Tfahn, it looks like you haven't ovulated yet. I would keep having attempts, because it looks like you may be finally getting ready to ovulate.

This can happen sometimes- your body gears up to ovulate but doesn't until later on. Sometimes opks don't work when this happens because the LH surge isn't strong enough to be detected the second time around. It doesn't need to be because the first one "ripened" things.

FX so hard for you!!

Thanks XX, I will try to get an attempt in tonight. But how did I have higher temps that look like post o temps for me if I didn't O? I think that is the part that's confusing and is throwing me off. Either way I'll get back on the BD wagon, hopefully its not to late if I am indeed Ovulating soon.

This happens because the follicle didn't release the egg and is large, like post-O range. The body will still produce small amounts of progesterone, but will begin to stop because now the egg is able to be released. I know it may be confusing, but the sustained temp rise for a few days is your bodies response to the end of the LH surge. Only the follicle will release the egg when conditions are just right. If not, then it will wait for the progesterone to go back down to finally release the egg. Some people get a second LH surge at this time and some do not.

FX for you!

Hi tfahn,

I'm having a similar situation this month. I typically O CD 13, but can't be sure which day this month. We've continued to BD just in case...but I could use a break. Here's my chart (hope you can see it)
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1410e083f2.jpg

I was googling yesterday trying to figure out what's going on. I believe XX is correct. FX it's a good sign.

Thanks XX and MeanVeggieGal, I guess the 3 weeks on Birth control pills made my body all wacky! I wish I knew I didn't ovulate so I would have continued to BD. So fingers crossed tonight's BD is not to late to catch any eggs in case I already ovulated.

My chart is looking like this as well guys. I am not sure but I think I missed ovulation this month.
I am DPO 13 and had negitive test this morning on cheapie so I'm waiting for AF now. 😐

Just saw the psychic who predicted my daughter today... she thinks I'll get pregnant with a boy in tge next 2 months.She even saw the chemical pregnancy. Ugh..
Another one I saw two months ago saw girl. I'm kinda wishing I never went today bc I've lost faith in my sway now more than ever. Having said that ... I really hope she's wrong! But she's been right with SOO much before.

Tfahn and MeanVeggieGal are you guys swaying boy or girl? I notice alot of BDing and I am considering doing more next month.

Tfahn - you are welcome. I agree that BC pills may be the culprit. AFM - I've been playing around with my hormone levels using herbs to balance my estrogen & progesterone (spotting) and I believe that's why my chart is shaped this way. I'm hoping to figure out my dosage by my next cycle.

Robin - I was using SMEP for the last couple of months and missing days. This cycle I figured we'd just BD until CM dries up. I'm swaying boy so I figured "why not?" Fx your sway will still work!!

Well AF came last evening, so I guess I really did ovulate and only had a short 8 or 9 day LP. Good luck to everyone still trying this month. Guess I'll be moving on to the January boards.

@Tfahn sorry AF showed up. It's good you O'd though!!

Oh no Tfahn! I'm so sorry [emoji20]! Since there are a few moving on to January, I'll start a new thread.

Be kind to yourself, Tfahn! I just know you will get your BFP!!

I should o this cycle around new years eve so I'm planning on enjoying that night!
I was really hoping for a summer baby and I still am very bummed that dream is out the window. 😐
Good luck everyone waiting to test this month!

I'm 3dpo today and will test when AF is due on 12/26. I'm not hopeful this month, since I ovulated so early with only an attempt at O-3 and on O day.

I'm just glad my cycles have improved since taking Vitamin D! I'm hopeful Goldie the Golden egg will be released soon!

Hey friends :) I'm 7dpiui. Had my progesterone test today and it came back 76.3 nmol/l.. that's good right? Like fairly high. I see all different opinions on what is high and what is average.. anyways I'm hopeful. Took a not very sensitive digi today and it was negative.. but I know I'm still early.

I'm also 7dpo! However, I'm not very hopeful because I am having bloody CM [emoji20].

I sure hope this is your BFP Nann! I'm sending you all of my blue baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]!

Could it maybe be implantation bleeding?? Otherwise I feel like that would be a short LP to spot on CD 7

Well, it has stopped! I only needed a panty liner and that didn't need to be changed. It wasn't much. I expected it to ramp up last night after BDing, but I woke up to clear CM!

I'm trying not to get too excited or be too hopeful. I'm just glad it's gone, and I didn't have a super short LP!!

When are you going to test again Nann? I'm going to test this Saturday at 11dpo. I want to know before Christmas, since we are hosting it this year for my DH's family. I want to have my pity party over with if I get a BFN.

Fx it's implantation!

I'll probably test today with an frer. This sounds silly.. but my family Christmas with the in laws is on Saturday morning... and I KNOW my SIL is gonna announce she's pregnant. AGAIN..... they get pregnant first try every time.. she's been preggo 4 times. Two were accidents.. and I'm over here like "anything... just anything at ALL please Mother Nature!" Lol. So I'm like you I need to be able to just know before then. She even got accidental pregnant with twins completely naturally and it doesn't run in the family... like HOW?!?! I'm over here on clomid and IUI and discussing adopting or ivf and she's like oops guess it's twins this time!

It's super mean of me to be so jealous.. she ended up losing them in an early miscarriage. But it's just the idea that she got twins naturally by accident. Ugh [emoji849] I dread the holidays now cuz I know they tried again since they lost their last pregnancy. And I know it worked first try.. and I know they'll announce on Saturday

Yes that is a high number but from everything I have read there is no correlation between a high number and BFP's that early. Did you take fertility meds this cycle? That can make the progesterone levels higher, I know I was normally at around a 12 without fertility meds and when I used clomid or femara my numbers would go up into the 30's when the tests were taken at 7DPO. They usually like your number to be atleast a 15-20 to show a strong ovulation but every person is different. Fingers crossed for you Nan that your number is the start of a BFP.
