I took Vitex for a while but stopped in August when we started DTD as I know you're not meant to take it when PG. I've not been to the doctor yet as I imagine they wil say A) you've had three healthy boys already, what's your problem? or B) you've only been trying two months or so and you're 35 now so....
I think I'm out for this month. :( 11DPO and stark white pregnancy tests combined with extremely painful cramps makes me think I'm going to be seeing AF any minute.
No not yet, my cycles have been known to be up to 33days a couple of times...and I keep getting AF like cramps but then nothing!Quote:

Thinkinpinkin, I hope you are wrong.
LoveSunshine, fingers and toes are crossed for you.
I wasn't able to have a sleep (after nightshift) till 4pm yesterday. My temp dropped to just above the coverline last night then came up again today. Bbs are still sore but, not like they were :( I'm not feeling very hopeful now :(
As luck would have it, my littler guy has slept through the night for the last week so I'm going to go back to temping this month and see where it takes me. Now to get my rear in gear in terms of my sway. Looks like we might get an opportunity this month and I'd normally have ovulated from the side I don't have a tube but my OB is going to do an ultrasound to see if I develop a follicle on my "good" side. Fingers crossed!
Good luck ThinkinPinkin :D
I did the mistake of testing today :( Bfn. Only 11 dpo so there is still some hope I guess.
Dont give up hope til AF rears her ugly head ladies! Even the most sensitive at home tests were negative for me until almost the full 15 dpo!! BOTH pregnancies now. Keep the hope alive!
I know I still have hope till af arrives. Plus, I didn't get my bfp with Miss 4 till 12 dpo. At least I have plenty of hpt's. My 50 hpt's arrived today. I will try to hold out testing till Sunday if I can (it's Friday here).
I didn't get a BFP with DS3 until about 18DPO I think, as LE had lengthened my cycles so much. So you're def not out yet
Weezie, I'm on the HE diet, it's shortened my cycle.
That's interesting about the sways affecting cycle lengths. I don't notice any difference in mine other than my lp is shorter than it was before I had dd. I am still bfing a little. I've monitored things over the past 6 months and worked to get my lp up to 12 days so hopefully I can sustain a pregnancy. It was 14 days before dd, but that was also shortly after a m/c.
Boysway, wow, 50 tests! Sounds like you're going to have a good time, lol. I have a fresh batch of 25 I ordered recently, and I'm eager to use them. I might start on Sunday, but I know there isn't much chance of a positive until Monday or Tuesday.
boysway... my cycles have gone up to about 30-32 days with any diet I have been on to sway for a girl. When I eat more red meat my cycles are anywhere from 26-28 days. During the summer month I eat red meat 2-4 days a week. But with temp outside above 100 I do not want to cook inside most days. So we BBQ by the pool!
I have noticed with the increase of meat in peoples diets they are also exposing themselves to more hormones, chemicals, and so on. Even with organic or grass fed beef all is the same. When someone realizes the true amount of protein that is needed it is crazy to thing how much you are exposing yourself to and the effects of it.... with my boys I would eat 80-100g of protein a day and sometimes more. I can eat an entire chicken in one meal sometimes when I am preparing for a bike race. And when it comes to steak I want my plate covered and not just a small bite.
It's all in the food we eat!
4dpo and I decided to test with a walmart .88 one, just for fun. So far nothing but I wasn't expecting anything!
I made homemade Chicken Pot Pie last night and after 1/2 a cup I could eat anymore and felt sick to my stomach. I can't wait till I can eat food again. Since I had a major stomach bug I am barely up to a few cups of solid food. At least I can maintain the cals I need.
:( Sorry you're struggling to eat. I hate being ill. I've got a cold at the mo, nothing major but enough to make me hungry and weary! Bring on the BFPs!
Sageviolet, I was told being on the HE diet as long as I have (January this year) can put an irregular cycle where they used to be. I just hope I don't need to use many of them.
I'm on nightshift at the moment. I've only had one cup of tea. I will try not to use the toilet or have a drink. I'll test again when I get home.
I am starting to have that feeling that AF is coming but since I am only 4dpo and cd19 I am assuming implantation... please please please!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of you waiting to test! I am currently waiting for pos. opk.
I know how you feel PurplePoet! I had that happen and AF came 😞 I hope you get your BFP!
I am trying to stay positive that I will get a BFP when it is meant to be....sigh

purplepoet stick to bland easy to digest things. If you like smoothies those will be good for a bit and help keep your calories going and easy on your digestive system and especially to recoat your digestive system and get it back in order. I hope you feel better soon!
The test I took 5hrs ago has a faint line...:think:
Preg test or Ov test???
I am CD9 waiting for a pos OPK. All of this waiting stinks! In other news I am taking a new job (signing the paperwork monday) which is going to be a lot less stress and a weight off my shoulders from where I am now - so i'm hoping the news of that will relax me enough to lower T levels and give me a girl push!!
It was a preg test.
I have felt aches and cramps for a few hours now. Still have the feeling of AF coming. And now I feel sick to my stomach. AF is due in 9 days.
The last time I felt this this early was with DS3 and he was a twin. :worry:
Hey you never know! Tomorrow with FMU might be your lucky day!!!
ARRRRRGGGHHH!!! Temp dropped below the coverline. Af isn't far away :(
Nervous for my approaching positive
opk. Me and the dh have started bd'ind since cd 4. We bd everything day from cd 4 till cd 7, and every other day since positive opk. Dh is on board with putting in all three attempts @ + opk. I read on someones post regarding the smep plan that it sways blue by atomic. This is pretty much what we are going for because my dh doesn't want to hold back. I am so close to my positive opk but the green tea or one of the supplements I am taking has pushed my cycle a little farther in. Wish me luck ladies and good luck to all you gals still left in October. I hope we see many bfps :p
Sorry Boysway, Purple that is what happened to me with DS, I checked the test HOURS later and it was positive. CD 5 here. Nothing much except I am SOOOOOOO thirsty.
purple poet - congrats, sounds like you are pg?
boysway - I'm so sorry, hope your temps are just acting up and you aren't officially out yet.
yogi - the plan sounds fabulous! So many of us boy moms got boys with tons of attempts in the fertile window!
I re took my temp as I realized I hadn't had 3 hours sleep (after nightshift). My temp went up. I still don't have much hope. I still tested and got a bfn. I'm a little upset but kind of relieved. Dh and I had words tonight and right now, I don't want anymore kids. I'm sick of him not helping. When I spoke to him about it and other things he just made me feel like crap :( He even asked if I was angry because I'm not pregnant. So now the kids will likely know we were TTC. He also told me if my moods were going to be like this then we will just 'can' having another baby.
I am still here!! Cd34, 19dpo....! Haven't tested yet.
I guess I am dubious about testing because my DS took a year to come and this is our first TTC attempt this time round.
If i am pg would a test show for sure now?
Boysway, sorry you're having a rough time. *hugs*
LoveSunshine, most tests say they're super accurate as of the day of your missed period, so if you were expecting af by now, please test! Fingers crossed for you!
My tests say they're sensitive at 7-10dpo, so I tried with fmu today at 9dpo and got a bfn. I might not have time to test tomorrow, but definitely will try again on Monday. Af is due on Wed.
LoveSunshine....definitely by now. You should test!!!
Boysway..It's so hard when ttc. Me and dh had a massive argument last month on the night we had to dtd. I didn't know whether to just let it go knowing full well he wouldn't dtd after a big row or to tell him what I was feeling. Why is it when you get to a crucial point in your cycle then the really big arguments happen? 99% of the time he is happy to try for another one but it's that 1% of the time that he says he doesn't want anymore that is really upsetting.
I am 1dpo....impatiently waiting!
Hi everyone :) cd16 for me, not sure whether or not I've already O'd or if it's still coming. We've dtd every day since cd3. Three times a day since cd12! I've just been relaxing, focusing a lot on cooking and spending time with our pets. TMI!! I can't tell this cycle if I have cm or not because I'm constantly leaking semen, which is making it hard to know whether or not I have any ewcm or if I'm close to O. But like I said, I'm just going to relax. This is my 2nd cycle off BCP and 2nd cycle ttc. Last cycle was 33 days long. I took soy iso days 3-7 last cycle and EPO up to what I thought was O... this cycle I'm just taking my prenatals, so we'll see :)
Good Luck Tiger Lily!
Sounds like a definite bfp is coming your way with all of the bd'ing! I am not to far off from cd as you.
I am cd 16 today by an hour or so because its 12:59am here in California. Only a few more ours and I test again. My opks still aren't fully positive but offly close. I swear I wish I was as optimistic as my dh. He can see and feel-good my frustration. I had a few tantrums but he kept calming me down and hugging me saying not to worry and that I should see my +opk within the next day or so. I hope hes right. Im going on 11 months now trying to conceive without success and I am pretty worn out.
Omg LoveSunshine!!!
What are you waiting for? You are long overdue. How long are your cycles? Looks to me like your pregnant but don't know it. Good luck Hun!!! I hope you see a BFP! 😄
Hi there- hope I can join you ladies - I'm 4dpo now! Fingers crossed, it's our first cycle trying to sway pink so not that confident but we will see. Good luck to you all :)
I cam home from nightshift last night to dh emptying the dw and he was very apologetic about last night. Let's hope things are going to change around here.
In the meantime, af arrived well and truly onto the next cycle.
Hi ladies!
I have had to take a break from the boards for a bit. I am trying to hold onto the tiny bit of positive thinking I have left in getting my BFP this cycle. Currently I am waiting for pos. opk and BDing every four days.
LoveSunshine- take a test! Sounds like you are pregnant!
Welcome Zahararose!
Boysway- ugh! I am sorry AF arrived! At least DH made nice after having a row with you! Hopefully he can be more supportive this next cycle.
Yogi and everyone waiting- GL and FX that this cycle brings BFPs!

Hey ladies. Thinking of you all lots. Fingers tightly crossed for you all. I've still no AF, BFP or evidence of a cycle. I'm a bit worried that losing weight has stopped me ovulating but not much I can do about that really. If I start eating more and putting on weight, then I'll be swaying blue!
Zarahose! Welcome, Good Luck and sending you tons of pink dust your way :)
Boysway I am truly sorry . Good Luck to you for your next attempts.
XX Thank-you :)
I think it definitely helps to stay off the forums for a bit. Good luck to you too!
Weezie!
Try asking atomic what to do in this situation and I am positive she will have a grew answer for you. Good luck 😊
