May 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

I’ll be back with bells on Tuesday ladies to have a thorough read through & catch up! I feel like I am constantly running atm

Thoughts anyone... TMI apologies especially considering it’s been a while [emoji15]

Yesterday I think was CD1, but I didn’t need to (but did) change a regular pad all day. There was not much happening til sat 6pm
Today is super heavy which is normal for CD2.

Just trying to work out whether to take clomid tomorrow or the next day!?

Emshe I would cut the middle and take it tomorrow night [emoji16]

Abc and kikurose hope you are both feeling better. I've been dealing with a bad cold the past few days, today was the worst and hoping to miraculously wake up feeling fabulous tomorrow [emoji23]

So many of you heading towards testing time!!! Sure hoping to see an onslaught of bfps!!!

Hgmama enjoy the beef strog!! A little bit of meat here and there will not make or break a sway. Especially if it falls within protein limits for the day. If you can in these cases, offer to dish up so you can put more mushroom and sauce (in this case) and less meat on your own plate and try hide it that way?

Noemi how exciting you're on cd18!! You should be oing anytime now! Any signs o is immenent?

Gafan I'm liking how your chart is looking [emoji7] Did you say you were testing Monday oe Tuesday?

Kikurose you're more than covered with your attempts so don't stress on not doing any after! Focus on getting better and your move (urgh last thing you probably feel like putting energy into)

Hgmama interesting that your temps keep climbing....

Kittendreams woohoo for o time!!!! Fx fx fx!!

Eighme what cd are you on? Loving this relaxed approach even though its killing me a little bit not knowing where you're at with a click of the finger [emoji23]

Temp still up. I don't know how many DPO or when I will start testing. Pbn thought FF was wrong in marking O.
Last night DH finally clarified why he is so depressed lately and it is half of what I feared. He is dreading having another pregnancy and baby, feeling like we have it good with 1 kid and that 2 will be overwhelming and depress him. He is willing to keep TTC in his resigned "it has always been too late for me to have the kind if life I really want" way. I kind of get his perspective- life is much easier with just one and focusing on your own joy when youve had a rough childhood is understandable- but mothering my son is probably the most joyful experience of my life and he seems to enjoy parts of parenting. There is a ticking clock here!. I hope to have another child, boy or girl (hopefully girl), and I am angry and sad that he always has to be like this about what could be joyful parts of life. I wish I had a partner who at least sometimes could share more joy about what I feel joyful about. And I don't feel i can go to him for support about TTC because of all this. I am grateful to you women for listening.

Gafan, I peeped in and immediate teared up reading this post. We just went through a similar season. My husband and I decided to put a time limit on our ttc journey and both of us are going through strong emotions. He is fine with never having another while I really wanted one more. After 3 miscarriages in a row, he voiced his concerns and they sound almost identical. I think we focus so much on how we are coping, feeling & dealing with ttc, that we easily forget their emotions, especially fears in the journey. We did get pregnant on this cycle and it is our last ttc cycle. So we both have big emotions. What really has helped us is talking through it. All of it. If we have a concern, we say it out loud. We are daily keeping up with how each of us is doing. It has helped us tremendously.

Hi Everyone! I am currently in the tww, around 2dpo. I ovulated I believe on cd21. I’m not temping, just using opks. We didn’t intend to try this month, but here we are! I was planning to sway and start trying the end of summer/beginning of fall. Guess we will see what happens and if I will get a chance to properly sway!

Girls cd18 for me and still no ovulation but i feel it is coming:) next attempt maybe tomorrow (husband made me angry):fx:for u girls and i am looking forward to seeing many bfp

Welcome Cassidy!!

Noemi I hope O comes soon!!!

Pbn I know, colds suck right? My poor DS2 is on day 3 of this fever but it seems to be a viral/respiratory thing. I'm going to have to take him into the doctor tomorrow unless the fever is gone by then.

Emshe - My doctor is pretty specific... He says if the bleeding is anything more than spotting, even light bleeding, before 5 pm, count that as day 1. If it's just spotting or bleeding that starts after 5 pm then count the next day as day 1. I'm like you - I normally have a very light CD1 and then a heavy CD2. Hope that helps! So glad you're back with us trying again :)

Kitten FX for O to happen!

HG - I have no idea what to do about the hunger. I've never felt so hungry on LE as I did yesterday. It doesn't seem quite as bad today though. I don't know if you are doing the atomic fertility diet or not but on that version atomic actually recommends either beef or salmon once a week.

So I saw on FB today that a friend of mine is having a girl after 2 boys. I lost it. Like, full sobbing meltdown. I feel like so many people lately are having girls after having 1 or more boys and it feels like I'm the only one who will never have my daughter. I hate GD. I hate this process and all the crapload of work I've put into this over the past 14 months with nothing but three m/c's to show for it (and a bunch of weight loss I guess). I'm so fed up! :(

Really sorry for the vent... I know some of you feel my frustration well though.

Pbn3- temp plummeted, but different environment as well.
Expecting AF every time i pee, but not there, and negative hpt. I think I'm 12 dpo and my LP is usually 10-12 days. I'll probably call the doc tomorrow and then get AF.

Thinking of you abc, I found it really hard hearing about girl babies too I completely sympathise after everything you’ve been through. I just know your pink bundle is waiting for you xx

Hugs, ABC! And no need to apologize for venting. This is exactly the place for it. I have only been on the diet for about 5 mos now -much less than you- and I am tired of so much work trying to sway. All but two of my mom friends have girls (I assume with no swaying). I hope you get to have a girl soon.
