Yep we are missing your surge somehow mommy2apples 🤔 what time was your cd12 to 15 tests taken? As much as I'm hoping this is definitely your cycle and it wont matter, I'd probably suggest testing at 11am, 2pm and 6pm in future......

Pbn3 Thank you! I'm sooo happy your back! We all have missed you so much! I couldn't have done it without you :) Your little baby will have a beautiful heartbeat still :) Prayers and BIG (((((HUGS))))):bighug:
Mommy2apples if its affordable I'd also say that the cb dual hormone digi opks (the ones that use fmu) may be perfect for you.... they work on testing dual hormones (lh and estrogen) and this may make the difference with you. I'd use alongside your dip tests.

So glad you have no more spotting or cramping! Come on Tuesday so you can see bubs and relax xoxo
Can't wait until you get your bloods! What made you decide to get the more thorough one?

1pm
Sounds good will start testing at those times next month. My body is crazy! I was thinking about getting some of those off eBay actually PBN!

Iwant4kids my hubby is worried about our ages (me 39 and nearly 46 for him) plus with our scare this last week and also because we found out his cousin had a t18 scare. She had to wait to 28 weeks to confirm either way which would have been absolutely dreadful 😢 previous scans had shown excess fluid and measurements that pointed to it. Thankfully the scan on Monday gave her the all clear... so even though the general nipt tests for t18 my hubby wanted to be tested for the rarer genetic conditions as he's read the risk increases significantly with age.
Ok so onto your opks. That 7pm one fresh is really close but not fully pos? Was the 1pm darker fresh?

Iwant4kids if it started fading out the following day then I would've said that was pos opks on cd13 as well :)

Welcome back Pbn3! We missed you!!!
Pbn, Thank you! I must have missed the post where Lola explained how far to put it in. The reason I was thinking to use my 2 attempts on cd11(pm) and cd12(pm) is because (Isn't that what most pregnancies result from, O-1 and O-2?) DH stops using protection after my 2 attempts, so then I can try to get a third attempt in sometime on cd13 (that dh won't realize is an attempt) which is when fertilityfriend has my O marked, at cd13.. If he won't do cd13, eod will still land us on cd14 (so that would mean late O should be covered right?)... What I'm aiming for is O-2, O-1, hopefully O day (maybe not), and then O+1 or O+2 to cover late O. I think I can pull that off without dh catching on. Or do you think it would be better to just do night of positive and following morning? I just want to do what will maximize my chances of conception this month, even if I only get the 2 attempts.
I'm so glad the bleeding has stopped and that you and baby are doing okay. Of course you will still be pregnant. Little baby will be strong as ever, I just know it. :) Enjoy your day, Im so glad your popping in to check on all of us and help with everything. Hugs! :heart:
Also, i would love for others to please weigh in on my plans for attempts since Pbn won't be back tonight.. If it sounds good/risky, reasons it may or may not work..? Any input is appreciated! TIA!
So decided on July 4th I'll be 10dpo give or take and I'll test that day, because that would be so awesome get a positive test. That's when Brad officially asked me to be his gf many years ago. So would be a perfect day to get a positive test! Fx and then if nothing, I'll see if af arrives by the 8th and if not I'll test again. I've literally never have gotten a positive test until day period is due.

Not sure ttc. I just know with my boys I gained weight before I conceived them so that's definitely in your favor! We had intercourse all month long with them too, but I did with all mine even my girl. Didn't gain weight before conceiving her though. I ate junk and snacked with all of them though and no exercise.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Mommy - July 4th would be great! I do agree with Pbn and have been meaning to say something I don't think FF has your O day right. I think it's cd 16, but that makes your attempt great.
TTC - it's not too late to start temping. I started on CD 15 and Oed on CD 18 last month. Are you using opks? If so, I'd bd at 1st positive opk and the day after! Do not rely on FF to give you an O date with no other factors.
Thanks Kat! Have my fx and prayers going for sure! Hope all of us that haven't gotten our bfps yet get it within the next month for sure!!

Hello all!
Nacire – I think I can confirm my congrats – woohoo! :D you are mightily fertile, especially for a breastfeeding and girl swaying lady – well done you!
So when does this get your due date, early March? (do you go by 40 weeks from LMP in the US too?)
That’s exactly how I feel in the early days -like carrying a little treasure secret – you want to shout it to the world but it almost feels cheeky walking around and people don’t know you are PREGNANT – ‘like, people, I am carrying a BABY IN ME!’ :D
How sweet is your Dh – so cute he is excited – and you don’t have to tell your MIL until you want to – heck let her guess on her own if she sees a bump! :P
Telling husband stories - that is one thing I loooove hearing about (yes, am bit “anything baby related obsessed” – I started watching some newer episodes of One born every minute – and just bawl my eyes, DH just looks at me like “why do you do this to yourself?!” but they are happy tears at the miracle of life! lol)
Ash – OMG – who made that comment to you?? That is just plain rude and inconsiderate – what if you actually wanted another boy?
(plus I never heard of a weighted blanket – what is it?!)
Like Naci, I would have booted her pronto – but if she is helping fund the stroller well, she can stay just that biiit longer – but then after that seriously get rid of her – be ruthless! lol
TTCblue – that’s a lot of BD planned – and if you can do it, I say go for it! The only unknown is your DH – so if you think this is the “safest” way of getting in your attempts I think that really will be the best for you – what CD do you usually start your opks? Just to make sure you don’t O early, maybe start at CD 9 ish? To cover all your bases! ;)
The FF chart will only show once you have temps input – that’s normal hon – until then it will just have lines of boxes with your symptoms /BD ^^
Lola already explained re vag temping so hope that is enough for you to get started! ^^
We never told people the gender of our babies until birth – and may not this time around either – people comment enough without knowing the gender :P
Gosh people are rude - you would think they would stop and think but clearly not…pffff
PBN – so happy to see you here! We missed you! I just realised I didn’t respond to your last PM though – sorry will go do that now! ;)
Can’t wait for you to see bubs again and get resulst so you can finally relax hon!
As for an update – am on CD7 now – we Bd’d CD3 and CD6 (both pm) just to get ourselves going and keep up with BD – will get the CB digi (purple) to do alongside my ICs to ensure I have an optimum attempt plan ;)
Mommy2apples – 4th of July and 10dpo sounds great! :D Fx ho – hopefully there will be cause for extra celebration that day!
Oh and here’s my chart for DD2 - ;)
Iwant4 – in a couple of days you may see the temps rise a bit more, once the shift is clear –and it seems to line up with your pos opk too so FX!!
I find it cold up here in Brissie so can imagine you must be darn cold in Vic! (and this is coming from a Viking blooded, European that has only been in Oz 8 years haha).
I was going to get the pink CB digi opks just to confirm O but couldn’t find them anywhere so will get a box of the purple ones – and yes will go to Chemist Warehouse, plus just saw they have a sale with -25% of all CB until next week (scooore!) so will go there on Friday and pick up a stash :P
Sky – worry not, we got some BD in last night hehe (so far, we have BD on CD3 & CD6 to help keep those swimmers healthy etc).
Tonight will be exercise via the stepper and tomorrow Friday being CD8 will begin our eod – so will BD tomorrow night, Sunday and so forth until we hit fertile window time & (hopefully) 3 attempts ^^
Kat – woohooo- congrats hon for the ONE healthy bub hehe 10th of Feb – you could have bub 3 days before and it’d be on my Bday – so I hope you make an effort and have that bub on that day to make my day :P :rofl: excited much? Eeek!
Lola and Sky – almost time for you too gals!!! ^^
Mommy2apples that is an awesome idea, and I love that it has meaning to you and your dh :) FX you get a positive that day...
Lmsm! Thank you! I'm so excited for you! Fx this is your cycle!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Thanks Naci! Would be the best for sure!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Nacire-ughh the comments-they're so inconsiderate!!! I know exactly how you feel! We've been talking about that A LOT in the ddg!! My original plan was to wait until we know gender to tell fam/friends, but I keep going back & forth with maybe telling some family on July 4th. I dread the comments though, so I was hoping to already know gender to make me feel like I have some control! I was at a family get together about a month ago & the question came up if we wanted more babies. They don't know that we're swaying or even ttc. My brother said thinking he was funny "you know you can't control gender, it's impossible." Oooh, that got to me & makes me feel like I have to prove everyone wrong now! I don't like being told what I can do grrrr haha. Fx we get our girls & prove the naysayers wrong!!! [emoji175]
My brother keeps telling my sister and I the same thing. That Ash was the last girl and the rest from here on out will be boys. He thinks he is funny. He knows I'm swaying. He keep saying I did all this for nothing.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Mommy-ugh isn't that just so annoying!! It drives me bonkers!! Let's prove them all wrong 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fx Lola!! Hoping we all get girls even my sister!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
LMSM - Thank you so much! I’m super excited and still shocked that I have a baby in my belly :) I really hope getting pregnant the first cycle doesn’t ruin my girl sway. There has to be people with successful girl sways who got preggo the first cycle right?!! My due date is March 4th. I really do love having my little secret that no one knows about. It’s like you can enjoy it way more, because no one to steal your happiness. The thing with my dh is if it makes me happy he’s happy. Happy wife really is a happy life:bigsmile:I need to watch One born every minute. I’ve never seen it before, but I tend to gravitate towards anything baby related while preggo :)
Lolabelle - I Fx we both get our healthy girls :) That would be a dream come true! Your brother definitely sounds like he thinks he’s extremely funny, and not HA HA funny :( Don’t feel like you have to prove them wrong. You don’t owe him or anyone for that matter anything. Enjoy your pregnancy and let everyone know when your ready. I probably can hide mine if I didn’t have big mouth boys to tell their Nonno and Nonna on Skype. So the secret will have to be told when the boys start to notice I’m pregnant. Telling on Fourth of July would be so cute! I came across some really cute announcements on Pinterest for that theme today. If you tell and they make inconsiderate comments about the sex of the baby just add them to the list of people you won’t tell when you decide announce gender. I think I feel like you with knowing so I have some control :)
Ttcblue we don't know you'll o again on cd13 so I wouldn't start any bding until night of pos opk. I just recommended the usual blue sway bd's which is night of pos opk, following morning and night BUT you have to do what works for you. So if that means bding 2 to 3 x pm in a row starting at pos opk then that's great! We still don't know if you are oing day after or two days after pos opk because you haven't been temping. I would strongly advise against using any of your attempts prior to pos opk for this very reason 😊 Speaking of opks what ones do you use again? Dip tests from memory? And do you only get the one day of pos or do you get an initial pos (test line as dark as control, considered first definate positive) followed the next day by a super positive (test line significantly darker than test line) before it fades out? Not that it matters as you should always count your first pos opk as your positive but just interesting to know because we are all so different :)
Just back at mums for lunch and heading off in half and hour to a Wiggles concert 😀😀 so excited for the boys! They don't even know!!!! It's a surprise from Nanny! We've already had Lego and Paw Patrol show this week!

Oh and ttcblue ditto what Kat said! Start temping asap! We should still be able to see a shift in temp especially as you haven't got a pos opk yet!

Ttcblue this is where eod pattern comes in so handy as you don't have to try guess or worry about when o will happen but the downside is your dh not being on board attempt wise so you can't even try it :( Or is there a chance you think he will? Eod even from cd10 would be ok. Cd10, cd12, cd14 and cd16?Quote:

I know I sorry, I'm just getting super into it because I'm down to 2 cycles and need this to happen.. So just to be clear, you think I should try for the plan I shared, or just do positive opk and morning after, that will likely be O-1 and O? I just feel like using the attempts sooner is better since everything after is also attempts and dh just doesn't know.Quote:

But we continue eod and that would get me cd10, 12, 14, 16.. I was just really hoping to get the 2 attempts he knows about back to back before O if possible..Quote:

Lola – what? sSeriously what is it with people?! Makes me so angry they don’t have the decency to consider the impact of what they are saying – I know most don’t mean other than well, but some of the comments are just soooo painful to hear – gah.
Nacire – worry not about falling pregnant first try – you have loads going for you for a girl sway – you guys are just uber fertile! ;)
You did the one attempt, LE, breastfeeding – that will likely sway much more as you impacted your condition and that of the swimmers doing what you did – so you have a great chance of pink my dear! ;)
Oh and if you watch the show, be ready to cry – I know I always do :rofl: I am such a sucker for anything baby or birth related – I swear if I wasn’t squeamish with blood etc I would so train to be a midwife – I get such a high from seeing babies being born, truly is amazing (verrryyy different to my current career lol)….
Mommy – my chart for DD2 didn’t show so trying again!
