Aww thank you so much for your blessings!
I am 5 days late and I am waiting for 10 days! I've been so busy that I was not paying attention to O and I notice my cycles are now becoming irregular for some reason. But I do know we had a few attempts but could it be possible!? I have no symptoms in my eyes. I seriously feel like everything is normal except my late AF because I felt cramps but no AF came.
I have pretty much been walking, more or less, since 10am this morning except for standing around at a pub and when we went home to eat some lunch. It's almost 7:30 pm now... husband is making dinner... I feel physically DRAINED... I have done a looot of walking today... so, as I am on my period, and have done all this walking, I am adding a *whopping* bonus to my dinner (whopping I say sarcastically)... I'm going to allow myself a big, huge, 12" burrito size flour tortilla AND black beans AND rice. I am, obviously, skipping the cheese, though, and sticking with salsa verde and low fat sour cream... so I am still within my fat and protein limits (like 38grams fat for the day including my later snack and 45 grams protein) but a bit higher in my calorie intake than I like (1,650 or so) but still essentially not overboard.
I've finally broken the "hovering" weight barrier this morning... I FINALLY, after two weeks, stopped hovering and have gone below 116 and am now about 115.4.... so after the houuuuurrrssss of spending time walking several places and walking through the woods, etcetera today... I'm going to enjoy the crap out of that large tortilla.
I'm so shakey right now, though! Yiyiyiyyayayayaya. Phew. *falls over*
So this will be your first pregnancy? The cramping is a very good sign. I thought for sure AF was on her way with DS1 and low and behold, I was pregnant.
I really understand you waiting the 10 days. In my mind, no AF and no testing mean I have more chances of being pregnant than not, and I guess I would rather feel almost pregnant than not. KWIM?
It's likely due to all the walking today... coupled with my typical swaying diet lunch... it wasn't a lot of fuel in me to burn, but I did end up burning a lot of fuel anyway! So my blood sugar is getting low now.
No worries, dinner is on the way! :D Hubby is cooking, hooray!
That's why I'm allowing myself the tortilla and beans (normally I'd just have veg + rice, low fat sour cream or creme fraiche, in a bowl or something) and just cutting out the veg... I've burned calories today and I don't want my body freaking out. I think if there's any day I have a large tortilla and beans, it's today!
It's no salt black beans, so even they won't be bad, really! I'm still well within the diet recommendations, just over calories (for what I've been trying to stick to, anyway... trying to stay with 1200 because I'm petite anyway, but today going over 1600)... so I'm content. PUT THE DINNER IN MY BELLY! Mmmm...
just a quick one because i am rushing with the morning chores..
CD 1 TODAY :)
So excited. feeling so positive about this month - hope its not just wishful thinking!
YES it will be my first. And I think I'm just nervous and stressed..I am looking for work which is stressful so it could just be financial stress making AF late but its so funny how I was actually excited to get my hysterogram and without AF showing up I am unable to do so. Being a "healthy" woman, early 20's struggling TTC makes me worry..why is it so hard for me and what is the reason why ita not happening you know?
Kraisy- multiple attempts still def sway pink!
Lassie- yay cd1 waiting to join you and suregena. Cd 1 was due today I'm wondering if the chemical I had last attempt is going to delay it? Started a thread to find out!
Suregena- u burned crazy calories today! I saw on fitness pal ;) I'm sure u enjoyed your dinner!
Hi kd my luteal phase is 11 to 12 days so a bit on the short side but has never been a problem in the past so hoping all will be ok this time as well.
We have been on holiday since thursday and are coming back tomorrow. DH's dad has terminal cancer and only has a short while to live so all a bit doom and gloom! As a result we have not really focused on ttc this month at all! We have dtd a few times but it is not really our primary concern at the moment.
If I were to conceive this month the due date would be around ds1's birthday and looks like I am ovulating on a supermoon so probably a boy anyway!
Think I am now in the 2ww so who knows!
Hi to everyone else. On my phone as not home till tomorrow so will reply more then. Pink dust to all. X x

Ok - I think I may have o'd a day earlier than I thought, which is good based on our attempts this cycle.
I could just be going batty but I have been nauseous all day - this is likely 6dpo - anyone else get sick this early! I hate the 2ww, it makes me a crazy person lol
Hi gorgeous ladies! Sorry I have been MIA. Glad to hear everyone's attempts are coming along nicely, and that everyone is trying to stay stress free.
BabyLove I don't want to make you even more nervous but exact same thing happened to me. For my first month attempting I had every symptom in the book during my 2ww, you name it I had it! Turned out to be bfn. Second month attempt had zero symptoms, felt crampy like AF was going to arrive and I got BFP. So just be aware that just because you have no signs of being pg, doesn't mean you're not. I understand you're anxious and you should wait to test until you're ready. I think you have a lot to be hopeful for though. Fx for you.
kraizy so happy you got lots of attempts in - you're a trooper! This HAS to be it for you! Sending my love. X
Good luck Lassie, Hope n Suregena for the beginning of another cycle. It's time for you ladies to get your bfps! X
Sending baby dust to all you persistent, dedicated and strong women! Hope to see lots of bfps in this thread ASAP!
I still haven't gotten a positive opk, I usually do get a positive on cd 11 or 12. is it too late to delay ovulation ? I would like it to be later than it is. dh not getting enough releases in. I have doubled vitex (was taking 400mg). and took 100 mg B6 (i know its not recommended on LE) but I wouldn't mind if it works to delay ovulation. what else could I do?..
ribbons - hoping the nausea if your BFP! Must be!! ahhh so exciting. And i think we ALL turn into crazy people in the 2ww.
I know i certainly read into EVERYTHING. A good example is my cycle i just finished, we were not attempting (and hadnt even DTD) so i was certain i wasnt pregnant.
But becuase i have been paying such close attention to my body, its a habit, and during what would have been the 2ww there were about 3 or 4 times when i felt certain things - that could easily be labelled 'symptoms' and i though to myself "if i WAS in the 2ww, i'd be telling myself its a pregnancy symptom" LOL
Am really trying to take the relaxed approach this month when it comes to attempts this month and timing, the only thinng i will do is take my temp so i know once i have ovulated - with any luck the laid back attitude will filter into the 2ww aswell so im not such a POAS-ing crazy googling everything nutter !
maybe - sorry to hear about your father in law :( thoughts are with you and your loved ones..
hoping you get your bfp - sounds like you and the family need some good news :)
oooo let us know how you go Hope! cycle buddy :) Surgena - are you early in your cycle too?
kraizy - your officially in the 2ww now arnt you? :fx:
Yep TWW and I already am telling myself that I won't be pregnant even with all the DTD!!! I mean the odds are more in my favor, but still have this feeling it did not work once again!!!
Mydream you are too sweet!!!
Kraizy -- I know people who had many attempts and ended up with either gender. My theory is to do the opposite of whatever got you your boys. In my case, they were infrequent BD so I feel multiple attempts will hopefully get more sperm in there (so more x sperm) and maybe a super strong x will win the race. We haven't gotten in as many attempts this month though...only 4 so far (and I might have already O'd)...I think I'm might just keep dtd through AF. I have to say trying for this baby has been WAY more fun than my boys. LOL.
Thinking of you and praying you have peace during the 2ww and a big FAT positive!! :)
mydream, how r u doing?
KD I'm really hopeful for you! FX the preseed does the magic trick!
Love your sig pic, very cute boys!!!
do you know something i have noticed on forum ?Quote:

When someone is certain its NOT their month - they end up getting a BFP :)
Maybe that means it will be you KD - heres hoping and wishing for you :luck: xo
ps - VERY handsome little men you have :) Love the pic
Thanks ladies! You are all so supportive! I had a little nausea this morning, but it's way too soon and I know it's all in my head LOL!!!
I am finally back on a PC, so it is so much easier to read and reply! I love the tapatalk app but I am just a much faster typist than I am on my phone!!!
Babylove have you tested yet? You sound very pregnant to me... I had no symptoms at all with DS1 until I got to around 8-9 weeks then I felt a bit lightheaded!! They say the biggest sign of pregnancy is a missed period and you certainly tick that box! GO PEE ON A STICK
KD, thanks for your kind words, I really hope this is your month. My dream, you too, I am sure all will work out perfectly for you.
Suregena, I am so impressed at your dedication to the diet, I gave up hardcore dieting a while ago as well as I have been TTC for too long now! That and my mum thinks I have become anorexic as have lost over a stone now (wasn't that fat to start with!!)
afm, I have a ton of washing to do as we came back from holiday today and DS1 is back at school tomorrow! God knows when I ovulated, if I even had sex in the right time frame or if I have any chance of becoming pregnant, guess I will know for sure in a couple of weeks..........
To be completely honest I am so scared to test because of getting a BFN and because I really dont want to waste money since I keep doubting I am. I feel guilty about all the alcohol I have consumed over the past 2 weeks but I needed to let loose! As well all know the TTC process is stressful but instead of thinking I am pregnant I am thinking of everything else like my diet changes and weight loss delaying my period or even financial stress!
Kraizy -- I'm on Day 13 today. My boobs were really sore yesterday so I think I maybe O'd yesterday? (I didn't test with OPK) But the last 2 months I had intense pains on my left side...and nothing this month. I also only had 3 days of EWCM which is weird for me...so this month is probably just a big wash.
Ok So a little bit of advice. I got a pos opk on sat, and again on Sunday. I thought my O day was yesterday as I had EWCM but today (tues) about an hour ago at 10am I felt slightly crampy for about 10 mins, so I took another opk which was positive and checked my CM and CP and not I am thinking O day is today as CP is still high but can feel the opening a bit better also EWCM is VERY stretchy.
We had sex all last week except for Friday and Saturday. Sunday night I got DP to release then he had a hot bath after then about 1.5-2 hours after he released we had sex (first real attempt. Had sex again last night but he for some silly reason pulled out to change position and ended up cumming outside of me rather than inside! (sorry for TMI) I am now at work, he is going away first thing tomorrow morning really early, do you think I should try and get an attempt in tonight? I am pretty sure that the cramps I felt before were O pains. So if we attempt tonight it is after o. Your thoughts please. Also I am getting confused with these pos OPKS, its now 4 days!
I also stopped taking my Vitex and SP yesterday as i thought yesterday was O day! arrgghh someone help
I thought it sways :pinksperm: for him* but blue for me ..??
But thank you I PROMISE I will find out real soon I just need to get over this little fear of mine!
Hunny & MIL keep asking me how many days late I am and if I'm hungry and I'm like "NOOOO GUYS! I feel normal!"
Cramps here and there and backaches I relate to my scoliosis and my constant daily activities.
I will continue my FolicAcid & decrease my soda intake especially since I suffer from kidney stone but come to think of it I have been craving pepsi A LOT and it's been years since I've had soda.
Here is a pic from today and yesterday opks. My tests from Sunday are on my other thread called what to do urgent help. Have a look and tell me what you think. As today test is still pos i must be ovulatin today and. How long do tests take to turn negative after ovulation has occurred? Ok it not letting me put photo up ill try get it up
Kiesse, I get +OPK's for days so I have learned to rely on the position of my cervix. If I get a +OPK then I start to check my cervix regularly. When I cannot reach it or it starts to move up and gets soft, I know I am Oing. The pains for me last for two days or an evening and a day, so I just DTD straight through as I think multiple DTD does sway girl. So I say keep DTD if you can get a chance to. If you don't check your cervix, you might want to try that if you don't get a BFP this cycle.
Took another OPK this morning and it was darker than yesterday's but still not positive.... fun! I generally get stark whites outside of my fertile days. I'm 8DPO today. Still not crazy enough to waste an HPT but I am going to test with OPKs every morning for the next few days to test the "fade-in" OPK-as-HPT theory. Something to do to pass the time... I'll take pics at the end for comparison.
I've tried REALLY hard to do no caffeine for the past couple of days but woke up this morning with a killer caffeine headache and had to give in! 1 cup only - I feel a bit better.
How is everyone else feeling today?
