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!

Yay you go girl! The clearblue digital tests are great, and so is ewcm!! :)

We all hear stories about our friends sisters friends cousin who had a surprise baby of the opposite sex...i know i have but now i've personally seen it. My sister had a baby girl 11 days ago and the dr thought all along she was a boy but nope. So there is always a chance that it's wrong....ya never know :)

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!!!

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.

---

Wow that doesn't sound fun, glad your DH has been so good! Hopefully it will all be over in no time and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

TTC5, way to go on your ph! Are you still giving this month a miss? I don't think 2 weeks off the diet or a few treats are going to mess you up, you've been (maybe loosley) but still doing diet for a while, yeah? 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!

---

Yep going for it this cycle, my pH today half hour after bsf and an O hehe was just over 8!!!!!! Can't believe it!!

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!

---

Thankyou so much for that advice! Yes am too worried to go more than once too as we did the same frequent bd'ing and look how many girls we got from that ;)

Woohoo that's awesome!

So far neg opks but they are fading in and I do fade in quickly.. I tend to get +'s of an evening so have to see... do you think, of say I get a + tonight around oh, 7,9,9pm it would be ok to attempt around midnight or should we go for say 5am?? Otherwise we can't go till tomorrow night and I really do not want to risk an O+12. Sometimes I get 2 days + and sometimes I get just 1 day.

I think if you left it till tomorrow night that might be too close to 0+12....

That is my thoughts exactly!

So situation now is - opk just now at 6pm although when I tested at 2pm it is heaps darker since then :) I think it is close!
I am going to make a guess it will be + before midnight tonight.

Now, should I DTD when I get the + (am hoping it goes positive around 9pm like it usually does) so around midnight we will.. OR.. set my alarm and DTD around 5am that is, if DH will do the morning rush when girls wake at 6am..

I would go for it in the morning if you get a +opk this evening. How many days abstinence has DH had?

I think I would go for the morning as well, especially since you said you sometimes get +opk's for two days. And you're trying to plan your attempt on O day right?

Today is day 4! He is VERY sore and full to the max haha

So you think waiting 5 hours will infact make a difference?

Begonia, you know I am actually enjoying doing weights. I also did a heap of lunges last night and my butt is so sore. DH actually commented the other night that he thinks it feels firmer :) Go me!

Lola, sounds like you've had a good vacation. I don't know if you have read your post about FSH but I found some handy info re lowering FSH levels. Apparently wheat grass can lower them dramatically. Do you take it? I like your reasoning with the natural/fake approach to swaying. Makes me feel heaps more relaxed.

Tink, oh the irony! Your bfp story made me smile :)

Jen, sorry you've feeling so yuck. It must be nice to have DH home to look after you though. Make the most of it!

I don't think it will be a big difference if you do 'o' tomorrow but if you think there is a chance it may be the day after I would try and do the 5am.......

Man I am busting !!!! LOL I am waiting 20 mins to test again as i am getting a fade in too...If I get a positive tonight I should ovulate tomorrow but I have the same prob...when to BD? I am trying to convince hubby to do the morning then if by some chance it ends up being early day 16 it will be 24hrs before or 8/12hrs before if thurs......but he is NOT going for it ATM......I am waiting to see the results before I try to convince him.....I am so worried I will not DTD tonight and then end up with O + 12 tomorrow.....what to do....

I am retesting in around 90 mins lol so will be 11pm here.. if + will try my best to stay awake and bd at midnight or even better 1am... I feel better being early than risk being in O+12..

How is your cm cheeky?

Bladder empty and panic avoided....OPK - !! and not even 'half dark!' so even if it comes positive overnight I seem to ovulate 24hrs after (so tomorrow night at earliest) which will be out of the 0+12 bracket should we leave the BD to tomorrow night- Mabye it was all meant to be as the chinese calender says girl if concieved in June and boy if in july ! The difference a day makes hey?LOL
As for CM it is still not fantastic but it exists which is wayy better than yesterday :) I will see how I am travelling tomorrow and make a decision whether to do any more gelatine...I totally stopped today! Hows yours?

that happens with me too.(after bm) if you get a + at 11pm,shouldnt you dtd 12hours or a little more after?(11am etc) or is that a bad time for you?

Yes they do say 12 hrs but I am sure I have also read it is ok anytime once it goes +?? I really have no idea what to do aghhh!! All I know is, i do not want to risk going near an O+12!!!!

dont you find that you seem to have it all planned well then when its time, the panic sets in and things seem hard all of a sudden!:eek:

This is what a poas addict looks like!!!!



And wait... is that a smiley I see!!! I was soooo excited to see that I ran and jumped around the room like it was the best thing since sliced bread LOL!!

Cheeky, hang tight. I would guess you will get a + today or tomorrow, maybe you will O in the next two days. If your DH is going on 4+ days of abstinence, I would have him release today asap (not unprotected in you, though) so he has about 48 hours at least to build em up. Keep testing!

How funny that I seem to surge of a night and my waters always break at this time of the night too, lol!

Welcome to swaying! LOL There isn't a single gal who doesn't feel this way. I FREAKED my first attempt, running around like I had to have my little bedside lab set up just right. DH was pretty amused. You get a bit more whatever about it each month that goes by. Best thing to do is have everything in order, so when you suddenly get your +opk, you can just go with the flow.

ITA with Lola Cheeky! Great advice all around.

TTC5 am so curious if you BDd night or morning! Either way I think it will be a great attempt; I really don't thikn 5 hours matters except in the case of 0+12 obviously. And you're not near that either way so you should be good to go! Whoo hoo!!!

Hooray for a firmer butt, Bec! :-)

Jen sorry there's so much sicky going around your casa! I am with you on the ick feeling. It just won't LEAVE. But my parents finally did so at least I can go back to drinking coke and eating chips because that makes me feel better, LOL.

Ok we are going to BD around 2-3am.. it is currently 12.40am, THIS is some determination I tell you!!! LOL!!

I reckon around 10pm was my surge so it is around 5hours since +. I think that is good enough, going by how favourable my CM is, CP and the O pains :)

DH is soon to start his energy drinks, he has TWO monster drinks, we won't sleep tonight lol thankgod the big girls are getting the bus to school tomorrow and home again, we can set the little two up with a DVD and we can try to nap throughout the day HAHA

I am so excited!!!!! Can't believe this time has come around again.

Lola how are you going? :)

YAY TTC5, good luck to you! I think the best timing to aim for if you are doing a one-shot bd attempt is to try for 12-18 hours after your first +opk....then you are early if at all, better than late.

Bec, I will check that out that thread about the FSH. I am not so worried about it now, as I think it may have been a hair high due to the recent pregnancy and m/c. I have been taking wheatgrass daily for about a month now, and feel good. Thanks!

Tink, glad you had a good anniversary and love your shower bfp tale. So fun! Makes me excited to have that moment again also....but of course, now I'm not going to get excited with having 2 m/c this year. 3PNB, I know how you feel about that. It's very nice to get past your icky week, though. Hopefully we will all have success this time around and our little ones will stay put until they come out as a 7lb wailer!

Oh, I'm good lady, thanks for asking! I'm about CD8 or 9, and giving this month a miss. I am starting to be a little more strict on diet after this weekend and no more alcohol or skipping meals. (I am terrible about not eating when busy at work.) I think my sway in August, which should be attempting around the 5th or so, will be mostly hinging on diet and I will use some preseed....toying with the idea of a little ew again. I think that all depends on if my dr gives me Clomid for that month or not. I see her next Tuesday. I am still taking a bunch of antioxidants and all for egg health, but also the fish oil and EPO and drinking green tea and all. Hoping it helps.

OMG you are about to do your thang, so excited for you!!!! Good luck, and will be sending Y sperm juju through the air over to AUS now!!!!! xoxoxoxo

For rizz, I had a box of baking soda for the bsf, bowl of ew with the dropper, an instead cup, a little vibrator to help with O's if needed :bigsmile:, my cell phone and laptop to lay on top of my abdomen, and I can't remember what else now. Probably some other stuff also. My DH was like WTF????:rofl:

LOL, I remember the bedside lab Lola!! So funny!

Go TTC5 GO!!!! WHoo hooooo!!!

Made my 1st appt for 8 weeks, so 7/28. Major anxiety setting in re: hoping for a healthy baby. Won't really settle down til the little pink screamer gets here ... sigh. Too many close friends with too many health issues with their kiddos, KWIM? :sad: What I wouldn't give to go back to DD1's pregnancy where I was just ignorant. Truly was bliss ... anyhow I'll feel better after the 1st u/s, forget looking for nubs, just make sure the kiddo is a-ok :fingers: (though I know I will look for a nub, LOL!) And this is a mood and it will pass, but oh how I hope for a healthy baby :pray:

Oh yea, Begonia! Now it's official, you have an appt! I never have had a blissful pg, as I had a chemical first pg ever. Then 2 weeks later, I ovulated and conceived #1, but I still worried just a bit until I was about 7 weeks and nauseated to all hell and had an u/s which confirmed heartbeat. Then I relaxed. But don't worry, I think it is best for us all to ASSUME that your little bean is furiously developing and doing well until otherwise notified. KWIM? And when you get a nub shot, we are all gonna get obsessed. All of you better be posting one!!!!!

I meant OUR little beans there.....none of us are assuming anything about yours in particular, B! LOL
