Have not read all the updates but wanted to tell you all that my scan was wonderful today. We saw one HB at 174 and baby was measuring 8w6d and I am 9w based on Ovulation. So measuring right on. So thankful for all of your support and prayers. Here is a pic or our newest little one. So you just never know what the outcome will be.

Shannshaff - I am so so so happy for you. Congratulations. Xoxo
Iwant4kids - This is such a good news. The line is so Clear. When are you seeing your OB?
Lola - Sorry that AF arrived. I am CD4. Still close. I am so ready. Need to do better with my boy sway though. I havebn cheating a little[emoji51].
Ash - What's happening? Hope AF stays away.
Max - I am so sorry that you are having a rough day. I hope you get a bfp soon. I can relate to wanting another baby so badly. I honestly feel that we waited too long after dd.
Pbn - This really sucks. I am so sad and mad. I totally understand why you didn't want to test earlier. So sorry. Hugs.
Dancingdiva- Sorry about the bfn. Hope you get a bfp soon. Fx.
I on CD4 and hope this cycle works.
Ladies - Has anyone ordered their bbt from eBay? So many of them and such confusing reviews. I couldn't find at cvs. They were all out. Can you please share a pic or name
of yours that you have been using so that I know it's good to order.

Sorry Ash. It sucks. Hope the next one works for us all. Hugs.

Sky I searched and searched my cvs and finally found them by the pads and stuff.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
And is there cheating on the boy sway? Pretty sure I've always just ate everything lol.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
I am lazy and skip breakfast sometimes and had a couple of drinks and coffee while
we were on holiday. I also forgot to take my multivitamins. Eeeeeek.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Skyblue - a little cheat every now and then won't hurt. It's the overall sway remember. One or two cheat days won't ruin a three+ month sway. My DH sure would like a cheat alcohol day but he's on the no alcohol band wagon with me and has been so good. He is dying for a bourbon but he keeps telling himself he wants his boy more. So far he's been alcohol free for 5 months.
Sorry Ash, but we'll be cycle buddies & due date buddies too!! ;) Trying to get pumped for our next cycle!
Skyblue-we'll be pretty close too. My bbt is very similar to the pink/white one posted earlier & pretty sure I got it from cvs too. I'll check the brand.
So for anyone in the next 2ww, what's your plan?? I know e4d is the best for the girl sway, but I haven't been able to catch that eggie...
My Ovulation Chart
Wow Dancingdiva. Yay for dh. Mine loves his drinks but he agreed to reduce it which I think is as far as he will go. Drinks over the weekend. He is taking his vitamins though. [emoji4]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Lola - With our dd we weren't using opks and didn't even know about swaying then. All I can remember is that it took us like 5-6 months to get bfp. I used to believe that since my af comes every 28 days, it won't be fruitful to dtd after day 15. [emoji12][emoji12]We always started dtd on day 11 or 12 and then definitely BD on day 14. We tried doing 2-3 times between cd11 - cd15. I am just sharing my experience to give you an idea. I am sure it's not what everyone suggests here. So, don't follow without checking with someone who knows more than me. [emoji4]
But when Pbn mentioned late bfp for dd, it did turn out to be true in our case.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Skyblue-AF is the best time to cheat anyway right? Or so I thought? I wish I could say that I liked skipping breakfast ugh. In the past I'd eat something small for breakfast & snack throughout the day, then eat an early dinner. Now with skipping, I wake up starving and feel like I have a big whole in my stomach until I eat. It's totally worth it, if it helps with my baby girl :) Thanks for sharing your BD attempts for DD. Not sure what approach I'm going to take this time. I stopped taking vitex last cycle, but I'm going to try it again this time...
My Ovulation Chart
Ladies who already have boys - how many months did it take to fall pregnant? Just wondering.
Ash - sorry she's arrived, but I'm glad the limbo is over. Get temping and get those OPKs ready x
Dancingdiva - Well done to your DH. We fell pregnant first month with both boys. We used pre-seed and I ate heaps of high nutrient food.
Lola - on my plan Atomic told me to do the one attempt at positive OPK.
AFM - New HCG is 134, from 70 (was hoping for 140, but it doubled in 51 hours, so very close to 48 hours). I don't normally ask for the Progesterone level, but she told me it was 23.5. I have no idea about this, anyone know? I'm seeing my obstetrician next Thursday afternoon (20th April). I'll keep getting 48 hour blood tests too.
Lola, both of my DD's were O-2, but I wonder if we should be doing O-1 this time around. Not sure if it's his swimmers or my uterine lining being too thin, but it's certainly frustrating either way.
11dpo today, temps still up, but BFN.

My DS1 was a one hit wonder, my DS2 was the month after a miscarriage (2 months), and my DS3 was 8mo (I was swaying for a girl but was a hot mess!).Quote:

Quick question, due to your bleeding did you have HCG monitored? How far along were you at your first scan? So excited for you after such a nervous wait xQuote:

I got some bloods done and a few scans. (Oh and we will most likely be doing the early blood test, but we are not finding out gender - we are team green!)Quote:

21dpo - 815
scan at 4w showed *something* in my uterus but was too small to know what it was
scan at 6w showed a gest sac and yolk sac measuring 5w4d
scan at 9w showed one baby with HB at 174 and measuring 8w6d
So my bloods were not doubling right and the scan was not great news, but this little one caught up apparently.
Dancingdiva-both of my boys were first cycle. I started taking FertileCM supplements, soy iso & using preseed...then bam-BFP! I'm not doing any of this now, so I'm sure that's why it's taking me longer.
Maxim-part of me wants to go all in and see if every day works. I'm getting impatient, but don't want to mess up my sway. Maybe the O-1 will work? When is AF due?

It depends if our 23.5 progesterone is in nmol/l or ng/l
Check out this website. It has predicted every miscarriage for me.

What do you mean lola, like BD all through AF-end of O? I'm getting soooo impatient! :(
Shann - thanks so much for sharing! I really hope my story has a happy ending like yours. ❤️ so what's next? Blood test then 12w scan? Yay for team green! [emoji172]Are you worried about the birth day if its blue though? [emoji170]

Maxim-yep, I know it's not recommended, but afraid I'm going to miss the egg again...so wondering if I should go all in and BD every day in the fertile window. I know it doesn't work for everyone, but I know it can work... ugh what to do?? This waiting game is tough!
My Ovulation Chart
No prob! We already had our 12w scan and blood work. I'm 15w3d. We found out via MaterniT21 Plus genetic test that we are having a healthy baby girl! I could never go team green, because I'm such a planner, haha!Quote:

Shann-have you ever tried team green before? We did with DS2 and it was so exciting!! There was NO way I could be disappointed holding my perfect baby boy! I was just so caught up in the happy moment of meeting our little miracle. It'll be such an exciting day for you either way...your little one is already keeping you on your toes :)

Lola - Did you do eod for both DS? Just curious.
I also want to be team green when/if I get bfp. Not sure about dh though. [emoji12]

Sky for all my boys I didn't take vitamins but I had a healthy well balanced diet and I did exercise. Ds1 was 2months ttc and BD all the time then miscarriage which was surprise pregnancy, ds2 was 4minths ttc straight after mc and the only one I tracked i had attempts on chart and o-1 and 2x on O day. Ds3 surprise so not trying and ds4 one month trying. Hoping it's harder to get pregnant this time as I hope it's my girl but I don't want it taking to long I'm impatient!
I found a backpack diaper bag here I LOVE and surprisingly hubby loves it also and says it'd have meaning coming from Florida! I'm so excited lol first baby purchase for #5 and hubs don't even care the price tag which is so unlike him!! Have I said I'm getting excited for af to be over and to get this show on the road[emoji4]

Skyblue-we just BD 2-3 times in the fertile window and that was it. I used OPKs for DS1, but not 2. I had just stopped taking BC and then they were conceived the first time ttc.
Ash & Maxim-I just know all of this waiting is going to bring our baby girls :)
My Ovulation Chart
Iwant - I have been team green for DS2 and 3. We were planning team green for the last one, but with it being triplets, we needed to know. It was sort of a let down to know DS4 was a boy and we lost the girls. I was in a deep dark place for a few months. DH LOVES to be the one to tell me what we have, so I agreed to let him do it again this last time. I will be disappointed if it is not a girl, but I am happy either way at the moment. With all we have been through so far, I am just looking for a healthy baby. I am old (geriatric as the Dr told me - 41 ), so just looking for healthy.
