Like a couple teenagers thinking you can't get pg the 1st time you BD :rofl: But we're excited and there are some great reasons that March works well for us too.
TTC5 I think your reasoning for skipping is perfect, esp if you and DH are of the same mind on it! Good for you! That'll give you another handful of weeks of supps and diet for you, so you should be in great shape for getting that :ttcboy: next cycle.
Tink I'm so glad you had a lovely time! There's nothing better than a happy marriage :heart: I love hearing about people in love. 'Cause I'm a cheeseball like that.
You know you're pregnant when you type "cheeseball" and immediately wonder if you have any of those in the pantry....
LOL. I just had to double check my post because I was SURE I typed "panty" instead of "pantry" and had a nice little laugh here by myself at the idea of checking for cheeseballs in my panties.
Yes, I'm easily amused.
ahh now I am not sure lol.. I just got new batteries for the pH tester and I am a 7!!! I have never ever ever been this high naturally!!!!!! :O
Our concerns are:
We had 2 weeks off during the TWW last cycle and have only been back on for 2 weeks, although have been doing this since late January/February.
Hubby had 3 days off gelatine due to a tummy bug.. and he has not been cooling his jewels so to speak..
We have had a few treats here and there like a handful of lollies and a few choc biscuits.
Other then that, the diet has been back on track lots of meat, potato, tomato and banana, vegie, dried fruits, cereal, wholegrains, oat milk, eggs, salt, orange and pineapple juice.
Oh and not sure if this is coi-incedence but today have given the gelatine drink a miss AND my EWCM is picking up a notch.. only a little but better than yesterday. Last cycle my ewcm was quite poor!
I do wonder if this stuff does have a drying affect..
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:youve done it again begonia!Quote:

I have read some ladies so stay like that after O.... and it can also be a sign of pregnancy. Do you chart your temps?
no,i didnt as my smiley opk was early(unexpected)i just thought that once you o you dry up?Quote:

How many days to you keep testing with an opk for? Maybe you O'd later than you thought and you are one of those who get more than one day of +'s.
Also, have heard you can build up to surge and then not ovulate and then build back up again and O.
oh,great!:mad:if i did, it would have been perfect timing as it wasnt good timing on saturday! i got a positive at 3pm saturday,by 7pm it had gone,then just to make sure, i checked the day after and yesterday cos of all the mucus, both negative. no im not on fish oil, i do take 2000mg of epo though. i didnt think we are meant to produce much mucus after o?Quote:

i know, sorry. i tested at 4pm friday and no smile so it would have had to have happened between that and saturdays tests! cant beleive how discouraging this process is isnt it.Quote:

tink - glad you enjoyed yourself!
Babydes- Hope you feel better tomorrow damn hormones!
Begonia - That is hilarious that you guys felt like it wouldn't happen :) just typical really that it did- but lucky you don't have to go through months and months more of diet etc!
AFM- started opks today :) and gave the gelatine a miss midday and CM has picked up a bit - coincidence?? Not sure but might do the same tommorrow What do you think is more important- Good CM OR Gelatine(testosterone) if I have to pick??
I'm going with the good quality CM! I decided to drop it today too :)
cheekymoo, have plenty of orgasms to boost testosterone:bigsmile:i would say stop the gelatine if it is drying you up and concentrate on the cm cos you need plenty of that to get those boys to their destination:wink:i think ttc5 said the gelatine is doing it to her too?Quote:

I highly recommend to anyone struggling with ewcm to drop the gelatine for the day of, or day before attempt as just by doing this I have a huge difference :)
Now back to pee'ing!
I tried one of my CBDigi tests and omg LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was - but put my mind at ease as I have tonns of ewcm!!!
Think we will DTD tomorrow, my confidence has now returned 10fold!
Is gelatine known to dry up CM? It's on my list but I worry about things that will hinder EWCM especially since Clomid dries me up too.
TTC5, and so it all starts again, yay!
Cheeky, I think I would go with CM. But that's just me. Are you doing other things to increase your testpsterone?
Speaking of testosterone I did a big weight sesh tonight and boy am I one sore little lady.
Jane, on the CM post O, even when I wasn't pg I would get a some for days ... sometimes even the day before AF. I just chalked it up to being related to the dietary changes. Definitely had lots this cycle post O though with the pg. And getting lots still, which I don't remember with either of my others.
TTC5 what are you going to do?!?! Still skip?!? Give it a go?!? GO GO GO! Lol. So hard to pass up all that great CM and great pH, isn't it? What does DH think now?
Cheeky ITA - go for high quality CM, and if skipping gelatine helps you then I would skip!
Interesting that 2 of you are finding the gelatine to dry you up .... I never noticed that! I took it 3x a day but still had good CM for our attempt.
Bec good for you with the weights! Are you liking them? It is funny, for so long I never, ever did them, I found them dull, and now I love them. I plan to continue using them; don't want these lovely arm muscles to go away now that I'm pg.
Thank you Sunny!!! My EDD is 3/5! So strange about those red pin pricks, isn't it? Never would have thought of them as a symptom if you hadn't mentioned it. How are you feeling?
Babydes how're the hormones treating you? I can't wait to hear how the scan goes; hope you get to hear a nice strong heartbeat.
Jen how are you feeling? Did you kick the ms to the curb? It's kind of a good thing my parents are here visiting bc it is making me force myself to eat like a normal person, which is for sure healthier than the chips and Coke I would eat all day long if I didn't have to pretend food sounded delicious.
Lola I'm so excited you're back from vacay :-) Miss seeing you around!! Hope you had a lovely time!
Jane, I agree with this totally. Sometimes I get a dry day or two, then a little bout of the creamy cm for a few days in the 2ww, when not pg. When I am pg, I get tons of creamy cm in the 2ww. The supps may be making you have more all around also. OR you ovulated a bit later than you thought.....they say you can ovulate anywhere from 12-48 hours after +opks, and I assume this means the latest +opk also. And many women get their ewcm a few days before they O, and it is not so much on O day, interestingly enough.Quote:

But I hear you, I want to go for it this month myself but trying to do what my midwife suggested and give myself 3 full miss cycles. Plus, I've been drinking a good bit on vaca....my DH's family are crazy Polacks and love them some family parties with lots of cocktails!
Begonia, I did have a blast, I feel so out of the loop! You made me LOL at your cheeseball comments, by the way. When I am pg, I am OBSESSED with anything cheese. So funny how you guys are still in shock too.....I would have been with a one shot deal also! But I am so happy for you that you didn't have to get fat as a house and do this agonizing ttc crap for months and months, for sure!!!!
So, read on, and see that TTC5, you may go for it! DO IT DO IT DO IT! Stars seem aligned!
And yes, ladies, if the gelatin is drying you up, drop that shit like a hot potato. I noticed no change with that stuff other than a much stronger gag reflex from choking down chunky ass jello beverages. And you know what about the cm......DON'T FREAK about it if yours seems sub-par....that is what the ew or preseed is for! Don't forget in swaying that there are 2 ways to do everything....you can get your body to do it naturally with diet, supps, etc, or you can fake it with bsf and ew/preseed. Of course, work for the natural as much as you can, no doubt, but add the fake if you need to in the end!
Begonia, Did I miss anywhere that you told DH yet??
LOLa! I missed you!! xoxo
My calendar alerted me yesterday that i was suppose to start the boy diet, assuming were going TTC in Sept, thus while I was eating Ice cream. I thinking this diet is going to be really hard for me!
I have no idea what to eat besides lay next to my dog and chew on a steak.
Hey Lola, it s so good to see you again. Yes i am having another girl as far as we know :) I am ok and happy with that but still hoping for a delivery room surprise lol :) ykwim... How you doing? waiting for an august action and a spring baby .. Spring babies are so much easy to care.. DD2 is an end of April baby, not too hot not cold.. All best wishes for you.. GL
TTC5, i read that you are thinking of DTD twice. I did twice because of Ovulation trick. and got pg at my first try. You know the result. If you have patient and not close to menopause, try at least 6 times to get pg with one shot. I will do it for my 4th :) just my 2cnts. I know there are a lot of boy moms who DTD frequently but frequent BD gave me 2 princesses.. YKWIM. GL with your attempt. Hope results with a blue bfp!
Lola that's hilarious that you're obsessed with cheese when pg! I always end up eating candy. Massive amounts of candy. But so far it has been salt, and I think that is due to all the salt I was eating these past few months ... being on the diet for so long I think my tastes have just kinda changed! Love that you had a great vacay!
Tink I did tell DH! In a totally vanilla and dull way, because I didn't drink one night and he was like "oh come on, one beer? you love this beer!" (which is true, it was my fave summer brew) and since my parents were here I couldn't do anything super creative. So I just told him. And he was shocked and speechless, like me, and was kinda like, so much for waiting, huh? I wish at least one of our 3 could have been like, an amazing and wonderful event when we found out, but so far we've always been like "oh crap!!!" LOL. But then we totally adore them so make-up for our underwhelming initial reactions :bigsmile:
TTC5 I do agree with boyjoy, if you can time your BD to get a one-shot deal you might as well give it a go! I totally would have if I could have. We'll see how I ended up. At this point what's done is done :wink:
hhahaha! That is so funny Begonia! When We found out we were Pregnant with DD. I took so many fricking rests. I was already late. Like 20 days late and had taken about 5 tests. All negative. Been to the docotr had blood work, negative. The day before DH's bday, we were getting in the shower. Just got back from a good friends wedding. I told dh "something is wrong with me, Im 20 days late and all these negatives" He goes "pee on one more test, if its come out neg we will go to the doc on the morning" i used my FMU, So I pee, one line, its neg, i get in the shower with DH, were both so sad, and just standing there, I am crying. I get out first, walk by the test. 2 LINES!!!!!!!! it had showed up while we were in the shower. I say OH MY GOD! DH goes what and pulls the curtain back i just show him he test, I swear he did a cartwheel in the shower. he gets out and goes I'm going to the store..comes back with just about every test you can buy, I pee on all of them, pregnant, pregnant, pregnant!!! It was so awesome! He picked me up and swung me around and we just mad out! She is now 2! I cant wait for that moment again! We are getting so close!! OMG I cant wait!!!
OH Tink what a great, great story!!!!! I LOVE THAT! See, DH and were talking about that .... like I know so many of my friends are just like, TOTALLY thrilled and over the moon when they get the BFP! But for DH and I both (thank goodness I feel like this too, or I'd probably smack his ass!) we get totally overwhelmed with the reality that we are having a BABY. Holy %^$@#. And we're going to have to take care of it?!?! What were we thinking?!?! :rofl:
When DD1 was born we were STILL shocked from the BFP 6 months before :bigsmile: But with DD2 I remember us both crying in the delivery room because we were just so happy to have another one ... and I'm 100% sure that it will be that way for #3, boy or girl :happy: SO FUN! I want everyone PREG now!
TTC5 am dying to know if you're going to attempt or not now ... I think you are but am wondering how your DH is feeling about it! So exciting!
When does Iluv get back from camping?!? She's been gone for-eva.
DD1 and DD2 found stamps and are covering each other with them right now and yelling "Stamp war!" LOL. I might should reign that in before my white couch gets some stamp action. Doritos are hard enough to get out. AAA! I just got stamped!
ttc5- woohoo for your high pH! I don't think a few little things will hurt your sway.
Jane - once my cm picked up it never really went away till the few days around AF, it got a bit creamy after O and then went to more of a creamy ew.
B - sadly I have not fully kicked my m/s to the curb but I'm in a fairly reasonable state of queasy.
Tink and B - we never really tried with dd#1 we just stopped preventing and 6 wks later I as pregnant. When I saw the test I cried I was in so much shock it happened so fast, when I showed dh I thought he was going to puke lol We carefully planned each next pregnancy and we literally just assumed I was preg each first month and I always (until this time) was.
Well I've come to the conclusion I will never fully satisfy the needs of this fetus, it demands food all the time and if I don't eat the second it's requested I immediately cruise into nausea. I've had to abandon paleo and consult the food genie to be able to get anything in. And today, for extra fun, I now have a staggering head cold causing my right nostril to be simultaneously clogged and running while dd3 spent the morning throwing up. I was supposed to help with field day at the girls school but had to call and cancel :(
On the plus side Dh spent the last 4 dys home with us basically waiting on me hand and foot while taking care of the kids. I'm amazed he continues to impregnate me knowing how rough the first trimester can be lol
I'm officially past the point of my first m/c and just over 5 weeks from the second one. I'd like to say I'm relaxing a bit but that would be a lie, I still check every time I pee and lie down for a few minutes with every cramp. Hopefully getting to my 14 week appt (fx) will help me relax.
