Xx- my last acupuncture appt was 2 weeks ago. She told me IF it was going to make me ovulate it would happen in next 24 to 48 hrs. It didn't happen. But, I ovulated last week for the first time since before November. It could have been the acupuncture starting to regulate my cycle. Either way I will definitely go back for stress relief treatments!
GLAD you enjoyed it!
Not positive yet Tara. I agree with testing twice a day now.
I used DT last cycle and got a positive when wondfo was negative. They seems to be very sensitive. GL! It is super close!
I think Im 6dpo and can barely keep my eyes open today. Also incredibly frustrated at nothing. My nipples have been sore for days, and I have a headache. :(
Surely I'm not already feeling AF symptoms?!
I've decided we'll start BDing every 3 days starting in the next few days. It isn't ideal for pink but for my mental health and my relationship with DH I think I have to feel like we did everything to catch the first egg. Who knows I might not even ovulate this cycle but I want to feel like I did everything I could...

I think this is smart. When I got back to swaying pink right after my m/c I didn't know when I'd ovulate so we just DTD every 4 days (instead of 3). My attempts ended up falling on O-4 and ovulation day. I didn't get pregnant that month and I blame myself for being too rigid with the timing. I should have added an attempt at O-1 that month (so 3 days apart) instead of making myself wait until after ovulation to DTD again. I have a happy ending so I can't complain, but let me tell you the first AF after my loss was hard and I regretted the decision to not try harder (with better timing) to catch the first egg so much during the past months. GL to you on catching the first egg!Quote:

I am wanting a girl but dtd every 3 days and will probably add one if I ever get a positive opk. Being pregnant is more important than a girl to me at this point. We waited until I had one full cycle after my mc and the second I realized my period was starting I regretted waiting that cycle:/. If you have the ok from you doctor and your mentally ready, go for it. For me I just feel a huge void since the miscarriage and feel the quicker that void is filled the quicker I move on. I will always be sad that that baby never had anyone but me and my husband to be excited about him(we didn't know sex, but my 3 year old named him George). I hate that he will never know the love we had for him, even at 8 weeks. He never got loved or snuggled, just a moms body who failed him, vacuumed and is floating in some bio-hazardous waste barrel somewhere... Sorry if that's too much. But I need to get pregnant asap so I'm not focusing on these awful thoughts!
I am trying to do IF as well as LE. Last cycle, except for the first 4 fasting days, I fasted completely or very close (under 100 cals for sure) the other fasting days. This cycle so far I've been eating 300-400 cals on my fasting days, bc I can't handle the Soy on an empty stomach and maybe due to AF, too. I also did 2 eating days in a row, the day before AF and CD1. So I'm not perfect. During my 12 hours on eating days, I follow LE rules except I eat more cals. How many more depends on how strictly I fasted. But the aim is to keep what I eat over the course of 2 days around 2200-2800 cals, so I can eat that much on my eating days. I mostly listen to my body.Quote:

I do think the LE plus IF is theoretically the strongest pink sway (plus clomid & exercise), so for those who already have multiple boys, probably the LE is necessary.
XX, I really need my computer! I can't PM on my tablet unfortunately. And apologies to everyone for going AWOL, I tend to do that during AF. I did read 2 awesome YA books (currently on the 3rd book of the series). It's like the Hunger Games meets the Bachelor plus a sprinkling of Cinderella. I love YA romance! Especially in any sort of fantasy setting, preferably an epic one.
Junie, I think your plan this cycle is great. Fx you catch that first egg.
3boys, Wishing, Queen & dj are testing soonish, exciting. :) And many of us Oing in what, about 10 days? Anyone else O naturally late around CD18 like me? I am hoping the Soy stimulates earlier O this month, especially since going off Vitex may delay it. I want to maximize my chances of a Libra DD over Scorpio. Silly, I know...
tarasue, I highly doubt your body failed your angel baby. Almost definitely a chromosomal or mitochondrial defect was to blame considering you've had 2 healthy pregnancies. But I completely understand wanting to get pregnant again ASAP and hope this cycle does the trick for you, Junie, and anyone else who has had a loss recently. Though I'm hoping those of us who have been trying for over 6 months see a BFP soon, too. I do think it will happen for most if not all of us here eventually,.
essnce, I hope DH is sloppy with the condoms. My late DH kept delaying kids and I wish so much that I'd just had kids anyway. It is so frustrating how many men fight having (further) children. Don't our dreams matter too?
