June Bugs! TTC in June!

Steph honey we are here for you. Its bloody hard! Really hard to have people working with you getting pregnant so fast and talking about it.
Girliedreaming happy you are not in the slammer! You survived! Sorry you are out :(
Bethwade me too! I have so much more respect for how hard it is facing BFN every month....i conceived my boys first time so this is all rather a mystery!!
Welcome purple poet hope you get your little lady again
Robin yes for me the first few months were crazy longer ovulation then it settled down. Are you taking vitex?
Anyone else have zero cm at ovulation I went from having 3-4 days of heaps of ewcm to now nothing!!! Not even watery cm I feel very un fertile
Kidandcatmummy good luck with your attempt, I wish I had dropped zyrtec sooner.
Anyone coming up to testing or their attempt??

Hi Kitkat yep me with the attempt. I'm struggling to work out what my stupid cheap OPKs are telling me. I don't think I have O'd & today is the first day with EWCM but the test was still negative. Diet-wise as I said earlier I'm not doing LE anymore the lack of protein was sending me loopy. But I'm still fasting 14 hours or so, & eating low calorie (under 2000 a day) but not counting protein or salt.

Steph.... I can't remember if you read/commented on my post when I said it took us 5 years to conceive our first DS. It is so so hard & I totally get you. Like totally. Big big hugs & support from me sweetheart xx

Purple poet, I'm so sorry to read of your loss. Truly I am. I so hope you can conceive another little girl.

Hugs everyone xx

thank you ladies for your responses!! Not taking Vitex no. I am doing the SP though? My hubby is VERY set on DTD tonight as it Is a full moon and Friday the 13. Im hoping I get the + results today. My last son was born on a full moon (4 days LATE!) and I think the full moon has some effect on me lol.

I will have to get more cheap tests for sure.. but that was my original problem this month. On day 11 I got a + result with a cheapo one (Two very distinct lines). I ran out and got the digital ones and it said negative.
I have no idea what that means.. but I think if it were true Ovulation it would have said yes on both tests. I tested a couple hours later.

hi girls, well im starting rehersh tonight and cetirizine tabs, and start testing ov from tomorrow, im getting so excited i think dh is praying il catch this month so he can stop the olive leef n l- root lol gonna put a babys dress under the matress for abit of luck, it was my littleones 2nd birthday yesterday so i had a garden party and my two nieces decided to share their news that they are both preggas with girls, thats got me thiniking that another 2 girls in the family will prob mean a boy for me, so abit gutted :( my sway plan says to wait till i have a peak test im just worried im gonna get a high test and end up missing the peak, should i test twice a day from the high test incase? ive also seen that you can now get a blood test when your preggas from 7 weeks to find out if its pink or blue, as anyone else looked into this xxx

Good luck on your attempt! I'd test 2x a day to be sure. And your nieces being pregnant with girls has no influence on your pregnancy, so stay positive! The earliest I've heard you can find out via blood test is 10 weeks with Harmony or Pandora testing -- which tests for chromosomal abnormalities and can give 95%+ accuracy on gender. I'd be interested in hearing what test does it at 6-7, though, if you find out the name!

Good luck and pink baby dust :)

Hi, some quick help needed :D So dh is going away tonight until sunday night. I have yet to get a pos opk (currently cd15) quite often I won't get one until cd 18 but last cycle was cd15. He is leaving around 6pm today and I can tell you is in no mood for bding!! I guess I've answered my own question and have no choice but to hope I don't get a pos opk until sunday! :( I just know it's going to be tomorrow (sat) and he won't be here so i'll miss it. What would you do?

lyagirl -- I'd seduce him. NOW, lol.

Ha ha but I've got the kids home too! This is impossible!

I would too!! We have DTD 2x so far this month just in case. I know we are only supposed to do it once at + OPK, but id just like to be pregnant now and I have faith in what ever is supposed to happen will.

Full moon nookie here we come!.. well no... my hubby will but not me bc that doesn't favour girls. lol. FML. (sorry couldn't resist!)

its called cell free dna test. its just a normal blood test so theres no danger of miscarage, il ave a look into it, cant see the nhs doing it so il ave a look at the prices, laylagirl id get the kids a dvd chuck some lush perfume on n lipgloss n ave ur wiked way with him lol xx

1. Analysis of DNA from fetal cells in maternal blood samples is a screening test that is a non-invasive prenatal procedure and poses no risks to the mother or the fetus. The non-invasive baby gender predictor is based on the detection of Y chromosome-specific DNA in maternal blood samples.

2. This DNA identity baby gender test is relatively inexpensive in comparison to invasive techniques such as CVS or amniocentesis.

To learn more, read Misconceptions about the technology and an article in the Science magazine about the non-invasive prenatal technology.

Timing for the Test – Order test NOW!

Using DNA test from Health Genetic Center, a gender confirmation (Y-chromosome detection) can be done at 10 weeks of gestation.

Results – Order test NOW!

The procedure takes 7 business days, and the final report contains one of the following results:

- POSITIVE for the presence of Y-chromosome. Positive Y chromosome DNA test confirms the presence of a male fetus in the recent pregnancy.

- NEGATIVE for the presence of Y-chromosome. Negative DNA test result confirms the absence of Y chromosome DNA in maternal blood samples. This means that 1) the mother is carrying a female fetus or 2) amount of fetal DNA in maternal blood is very low (lower than the detection limit of the DNA test). Please note that if the sample is collected after 10 weeks of pregnancy then the technique is sensitive enough to detect a small amount of fetal DNA in mother’s blood. Only in very rare cases (less than 1%) this amount lower is than the detection limit at 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Sensitivity and specificity of the test - Order test NOW!

Sensitivity and specificity of the detection of male fetuses at 10 weeks of gestation for properly collected maternal blood samples is more than 99%. It is very good.

Price for the Prenatal Gender Test - Order test NOW!

Total price of laboratory DNA testing for baby gender test determination is $320.00 (US). The cost includes the diagnostic laboratory test, telephone consultations, sample collection kit, and final laboratory report. Please make sure the payment for the DNA baby gender test is included in the form of money order, VISA, Master Card or American Express. A non-refundable deposit of $100.00 is required to initiate the scheduling process and will be applied towards the case. The balance must be paid in full before we can release the DNA gender test results. All prices are in US dollars. I am ordering this test NOW!

1G-2GS-0.1S
just seen this on prenatalgenetics centre web page worth thinking about xx

oooo also homednadirect is based in the uk, its a urine sample after your 9th week of pregnancy and is 99.9 percent accurate £239 pounds, think i might do this if fingers crossed i get pregnant, sounds better than the blood test, itl give me longer to get my head around another boy lol xx

Interesting!

Ha ha I won! Now to watch for O!

Yah!!!! Lyagirl good work love it when we win x

I need some advice...

So AF arrived today so I guess I'm due to ovulate in roughly 2 weeks. But I have been so far off the LE diet bandwagon the last week. If we decide to TTC this month it will be our last chance this year as we are wanting to avoid another April-August birthday but is it even worth trying after being off the diet and no exercise for a week now?? And even before this week I was only back on LE for about 4 weeks since our m/c.

DH wants to try but I don't want to if it means our chances of a girl have been decreased due to my stupid lack of willpower!!! 😞

My two cents is go for it mum !!....last shot before a lovely breather or most likely a BFP!!! I think you are too hard on your self with the diet you have probably been doing way better than most of us ! I think dreaming faced this dilemma went for it and got her BFP xxxx

Thanks, Bethwade! I was doing vitex for a few months before ttc, then clomid on cycle 1, back to vitex on cycle 2, clomid cycle 3, nothing on 4 & 5. :/ No other meds. I figured maybe the vitex/clomid was messing with things too much for me. But...2 months off ands still nothing. I've loosened up the LE, too. I've been trying to exercise more, just to off set the fact that I'm doing almost nothing else to sway now. But I'm not a tiny thing, so I'm certain my BMI isn't too low to O. (Still at least 20lbs heavier than my lowest conception weight.)

AF is due, well, 2 days ago. But ever since my first round of clomid, my cycles have been a bit unpredictable. I'm 99% sure I'm out. Just waiting... sigh.

Go for it, Mum! One week is nothing. Overall, you're body has got to still be in "deprivation" mode.

Blah, I don't know much about clomid :-/ I'm doing zero exercise and I feel crappy from the added sugar in my diet BUT I'll feel worse if I don't eat it and end up with another boy ;) lol if AF is late then you never know!! Fingers crossed for you <3

I'd for sure go for it Mumofsix! 1 week off is nothing!

With me, I was sure I was going to O late this cycle from all the stress of planning our trip to Greece and Italy that we leave for next week. Last month I started getting +opk tests on CD9 and so far this month they've been super negative CD9-CD11. So I thought I still had a while to go.

But look what I got this afternoon on CD12!!!! And lots of ewcm too!

DH is on his way home from the hockey game and I'm going to go do my workout right now, drink my 2 nightly shots of vodka, then dtd! Wish me luck! Eeek, it's Friday the 13th AND a full moon!!!!

Go for it **wolf howl**

So, as predicted I got my positive OPK yesterday and we dtd. BUt today I got another positive OPK...the first time I've ever had more than one. Does that mean we should dtd again tonight? I know to get a girl we should only be doing it once but I really want to be pregnant. I'm hoping the LE diet is enough to sway. Any advice girls?
As for gender prediction kits.... I used one last time. It was about $25 from the US and you just peed on it. It said I was having a girl....... and I had another boy so I suggest it's not worth the disappointment.

Atomic says only to DTD once at the first pos. 😊

Depends on what you want more Me+4, a girl or just to be pregnant. If you're really keen on a girl then don't do it again. If you just want to get PG then go for it :)

Good luck essnce!! Fx!

Me+4: As others has said, one attempt at first opk+ is great for girl sways and it has made a lot of us pregnant! Good luck!

Gah, dtd yesterday (neg opk cbd) and neg again today. Does that mean if I got a pos opk tomorrow we dtd again? As yesterdays would be too far in advance wouldn't it? Dh will be home late tomorrow night

Lyragirl-- yes you'd dtd again at +opk. The sperm from your last dtd would probably be long gone by the time your egg arrives on scene since you don't actually O till up to 48 hours after your first +opk.

And we got our attempt in last night! I took another opk right before and the test line was way darker than the control! Feeling pretty optimistic this time. I did have an orgasm (always do) and did not jump and dump.

Hi all,
Super dooper good luck essence!!
Me 4 ditto what everyone else said I also get two days of pos opk and I always BD on the first, good luck you are almost in 2ww!
Lyagirl how many months have you been ttc? If you get a pos opk tomorrow would it make you three days since you last BD? In that case you could atomic suggests if its been a while three plus months to do BD every four days with an additional attempt lowers chances of pink but more chance of pregnancy, or just DTD day after pos opk which is the every four days and you still have a shot at a BFP!! I would also ask atomics advice on this good luck , it sucks when it gets messy !! Xx

Momof6 I really think you should DTD again.
And just wanted to ask you...would you wait until next year if you knew you are having a girl if you ttc in July(let's say) ? ...wouldnt you fr your little girl?

MyByC, Yes I would do TTC in July if I knew it would defiantly be a girl! 😀 Having a girl defiantly outweighs having another birthday at the same time of all our other kids. If only there was a way we could know??!!? 😉

Ok girls I've had my attempt too. Officially in the 2ww. I've got a busy couple of weeks ahead so HOPEFULLY it won't be too agonizing.

Good luck primal mamma!! Keep yourself busy xx

Thanks girls. I am holding out NO hope for a girl. My diet has been shit, my OPKs didn't seem to work, & I have frankly had way too much sex. Lol. Oh well.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats Primal. I am still waiting on my positive OPK...Starting to think i'm not ovulating this month? I am on day 17 and have been testing 2x a day since day 10. I'm getting upset. I have been DTD very 4 days though to be safe.

Fx for you ladies in their 2ww!

Mum: I'm with everyone else : go for it! It's your overall change that counts. And the longer we r on the diet the harder it is to sustain it as it is mostly the contrary that we naturally do! I haven't had the same willpower either since my ectopic but I still believe the changes will sway ....keep faith x

I have been fairly relax with the whole POAS this cycle and thought I would not be stressed about OPKs...until now!!! Lol

I have just tested tonight and it is positive. I have no idea if its positive just now or has been since yesterday... We last DTD on Thursday night and so we are 'due' to DTD tomorrow as the 4th day. Do we keep to this or bd tonight? !

For info, last cycle I also had a +OPK on CD15, we DTD on that day and BFN. Grrr help please! Thanks!

Lavieenrose - not an expert on this at all, but I would personally BD tonight. Ovulation will probably occur tomorrow or maybe day after, and by then the swimmers from thursday are probably gone. Good luck!

La vie I personally would dtd tonight!!
Your options are:
Dtd tonight which is every four days with an additional attempt , lowers chance a smidge for pink but higher chance of pregnancy or dtd tomorrow every four days and still in with a chance ( I conceived one son day after pos opk).
I too will be doing every four days with an additional attempt next month , I think the stats are 65% for pink but as we all know no guarantees and no one will get DG if we don't get pregnant. Good luck!!! Lyagirl was in a similar position xxxxx

Robin I bet you are just going to ovulate late. The diet screws stuff all up. La Vie I vote dtd again tonight to up your pregnancy chances.
