I don't think it can cause any issues other than drying up CM... I'll ask Dr. Google and get back to you ;)Quote:

Hey girls! I was hoping not to join you all if I'm real honest but I am!lol No, I am glad to have you all to chit chat. I went back and caught up a good bit.
This is our 3rd month ttc, you could really say second because the first much was pretty much impossible bc I was doing everything you can imagine.
This month I think I'm dropping the sylk this month. I plan to just use the what God gave me! and I may even drop vitex and other supplements. I think I may focus on my diet, (keeping calories within 1500-1800) and one attempt at positive OPK. I had three attempts last month and I thinking by the time I O'd we may have exhausted his count. So obviously my several attempts didn't work anyway?! Who knows.
Anyway, now just waiting on AF to show. I'm about 12 dpo, possibly 13. Hopefully she will show in the next couple of days.
Yall, I'm only on month one of a true BFN "let down" and it isn't fun!!!! I go straight to the worst, "omg, can we never conceive?" My hubby has a varicocele we got checked right before conceiving DS1 which the urologist said was harmless bc his counts were well above normal range but I still have that in the back of my mind! My sweet hubby bought him some healthy drinks and brought out the boxers (he's wore them with both boys but I didn't make him change due to swaying) He can't stand to see tears. I know it's my first month (boohoohoo) but I was convinced I was preggo, so that always stinks.
I need a margarita.lol Hubby tried to buy us some this morning but we forgot you can't buy alcohol until after 12 on Sunday's in Alabama. Oops.
I sound like a high-strung weirdo on here. I promise I'm not. Actually super laid-back but I just needed to get it all out.
I pray this is all of our month!!!!
I don't temp.Quote:

That second H shouldn't be there just the first H representing the Hcg trigger shot on cd12.

Welcome, boysboys! Hoping this is your month as well. I started Clomid last month and was really hoping that it would be the magic answer and obviously I'm back haha. So I feel your pain and frustration! Everything crossed for all of us!
Good luck this month ladies!!:fx::cheerteam:
DH just couldn't finish tonight. :( Does anyone else get as upset about it as me? I just feel like it's my fault, and he's mad since he feels like it's his fault. I told him we have several good attempts so neither of us should be upset, but I can't help it. We'll try again tomorrow morning before work. I think I might be even more upset I "wasted" the preseed! Ha.
It's nobody's fault. TTC is A LOT of pressure and doing it on command as is often necessary can kill the mojo from time to time. DH has had the same problem from time to time over the collective 3+ years we have spent TTC over the course of our relationship. It's frustrating for both parties. He feels inadequate and she kinda feels cheated of the liquid gold (these are general emotions as examples.... not necessarily what you or he may be feeling). But nobody is to blame. (((Hugs)))Quote:

Taytum, yes, I know the feeling. DH cut me off this cycle. He said that I better have already o'd because the romance isn't there after so many consecutive days of dtd. I don't blame him. It's really hard to force yourself to be in the mood. Especially when you feel like it is so ultra important. Hopefully things will be better tomorrow morning. :)

Taytum- TTC can be hard! It's normal for you both to feel the way you do! I know it's tempting to want to follow the recommendations to a T, but know that every other day can give you blue. I have my DS2 to prove it!
Oh and tons more of my blue baby dust should help too! It's the really persistent kind [emoji6]!!

Taytum ttc is hard! And swaying adds a whole new lot of pressures with it! Whether swaying blue or pink or if you've been trying regardless of gender it just gets more difficult to shrug the bfns off.... As for dh all I can say is the one good thing about ttc pink is the one attempt. With ds1 & 2 we were just trying to get pregnant (had no idea about natural swaying then) but I can still remember that terrible pressure to dtd as many times possible in fertile window - we had to use sperm friendly lubricant each time sorry if tmi and it definately wasn't "lovemaking" it was "hope we're baby making". I don't even think we were dtd in between ttc after the first couple bfn months moreso with ds2...
Thanks so much ladies. I think you're right - it's also the swaying that puts pressure on it as well, trying to get as many attempts in as possible and DH and I aren't normally like that anyways. I look back and think we got 3 good attempts in fertile window and I am pretty sure I O'd around 6pm last night so if egg is still hanging around this morning there's another chance. I may stop temping after confirmed O...less stress for sure! ;)
Taytum it happened with DH & myself too every cycle at least once in the multiple attempt window DH would feel pressured and it caused BD problems. I always got upset which really didn't help :oops:
Lots of BFP dust and good luck to you mommas

Taytum, TTC is so stressful! My DH doesn't like being put under pressure and we have had a few issues like that before. When TTC our first two we would only BD every other day as it was too much pressure for DH. As you can see we ended up with two boys from this pattern :) Good luck this month!!
I'm CD3 so still far away from the TWW. My plan this month is not to really do much at all! I'm not doing very well with the diet other than delaying breakfast so I have a good fast and I'm also trying not to snack. I'm just eating my normal foods and avoiding putting on weight, its a bonus if I lose some. I'm not going to temp and I will just wait until I get my usual O pain and make one attempt then (but I won't tell DH I'm ovulating as he doesn't like the pressure!).
Well, I definitely o'd!! Yay!!! I had a definite shift. :) Did anyone not feel O pain on clomid? I had some cramping but nothing like the pain I had last cycle! It actually has me concerned that there was something different about my ovulation this time.

Last cycle I had killer cramps on CD 19, I think (could have the wrong CD), but didn't O that day. I was expecting more of the same O day but honestly I had some cramps but it was a fraction of what I'd had on CD 19. Kinda just felt like the cramps I get all cycle long on clomid, just a tiny bit stronger. I wouldn't be concerned... at all. That is one heck of a shift so there is no doubt that you had a strong O. :fx: for you!Quote:

So this cycle I have made a decision to take it easier. As far as temps, I am not going to make a point to temp. I likely will through the week as I'll be up to get the kids off to school anyway but weekends are up in the air... If I happen to wake up then maybe I'll temp but I won't be setting an alarm unless I get an LH surge in which case temps will help me pinpoint exactly when I O'd and it will be a lot less stressful for me to wake up a couple extra mornings than to try to figure out "Am I ___ DPO or ___ DPO?" After O, I might temp... or I might not :shrug: It'll probably be like before O.. if I am up anyway I'll temp but if not then I won't.
Diet wise, I am not counting anything anymore. This was the most stressful part for me (this and trying to figure out WTH was up with O). Trying to consistently stay within the guides, never too high or too low on anything... it is stressful. So I am going to try just being mindful of my choices. I may decide to count things up for a day every so often, to make sure I am not veering too far off course but for the most part I am just going to try to make LE friendly choices and leave it at that. Also, I am doing couch potato this cycle (mostly because I know keeping it up all cycle would be impossible with everything going on this month) so one less thing to worry about there too.
We are going to BD E4D, just like last cycle. DH is going to keep taking his OLE and I am backing off a bit from the baby asprin (just taking it less frequently, not stopping all together) and keeping up on my clomid, Zantac and FA regimen.
So that is our new plan. DH wants a girl but he kinda wants to just drop the sway. It is a lot of pressure on both of us. So, we are going to try a more easy going cycle and see if that is an agreeable compromise. Plus, I'll be going back to school soon and that is enough stress all by itself, lol. I'd be a neurotic mess if I tried to do it all perfectly. :fx: that this will be enough to get us a BFP and a pink bundle.
I think that sounds great, two! I changed my temp time this month to a few hours later and I've found it to be much more doable. I won't be able to keep it the same time next cycle though as I will be starting a new job. FX for your pink bundle!!! :)

Eek! Just think, you could be starting with full-blown preg symptoms! That is my concern in regards to school! I would be in school for my entire first trimester and part of my second. So the hardest part of preg I will be in school... trying to stay away, pay attention and not hurl on my classmates... Not looking forward to it, but I can't put my life on hold to TTC. God help us both, lol.Quote:

Plus, my sister works there, so I have someone to talk to if I start freaking out. I haven't had good work experiences in the past, so I have a lot of anxiety about working. I think I can stick it out for 15 weeks though.

You could absolutely O still. Yoy may have been gearing up to O and just haven't yet. FX

Can you hear up to O.... And then gear up again days later??? I don't want to miss our BD day... I'm so ready to be pregnant!Quote:

Yes, you can gear up to O a few times and not and still O later. A lot of things can affect O, from stress & illness to hormones. Sometimes it can take a few hours for the body to try again... sometimes a week or so. If you have never had issues Oing before then chances are excellent that you will O sometime in the near future :)

I found you guys! Seems the gang is all here, plus a few new faces :)
Like tatyum, i vanished to take some focus (stress?) off the ttc swaying plan. Miss me? Haha I missed you!
Im cd 19, and I o'd earlier than I have this whole Ttc adventure on cd 17 (FF SAYS 16, But let's ignore her, my cm went cloudy:opaque/sticky late in the day on cd 17.)
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...9a3152fbf9.jpg
I JUST caught the +opk by the seat of my pants - I had 6 tests left from last cycle and decided to. Not order more, so I timed that I'd start testing in cd 16 (since im typically a late o with Clomid). And voila! First poas was a pos! Like glaringly pos! We had our one attempt that day, and then the next day the OPKS went - and my cm changed :) best timing every so far! Except that it was a full moon, but we won't go there lol
Like Two, I REALLY lightened up this attempt. I stopped tracking with the exception of a few days here and there. But still skipped breaky, no snacks (well, the odd day), the odd moderate to crazy wild cheat day (read: several glasses of champagne along with filet mignon at a wedding, and Big Macs and Dairy Queen blizzards on o day..... Ask me if I care?!??)
Im super chill this month, but as always the tww is a killer [emoji12] plus my job is crazy - wedding season has me hopping! It's a stressful gig at times, which I used to be concerned about with my sway, but you can't change the world so let it go.

Welcome back hitme! FX for your BFP!!

FX!! Trust me, don't sweat the small stuff! Micromanaging a sway to every last detail and worrying about X, Y, and Z will undermine your sway!
Things look good Hitme! Looks like you nailed it!!
[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]
Big wave hello hitme!! Was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were going :) Your timing looks spot on! Looks like you and momamia oed the same day!
fx like mad for both of you its exciting to have quite a few officially in the 2ww!! Bring on testing!
IF we continue ttc after this month (me and dh had decided this is our last month) I will definately be relaxing sway as well - I just cant do this le diet anymore its been 20 weeks tomorrow and I'd been dieting (but less strict) for the 6 months prior to that. Like you ladies I'll drop counting stuff but still not snack and will keep skipping breakfast. My protein count will definitely jump as I'll be having meat again as soon as I o this cycle hopefully in 2 or 3 days :)
Keep testing Lauren as Twointow said you can gear up to o then not.Quote:
