ABC, I’m so sorry it’s an emotional roller coaster. I have been in the waiting. So hard. Hoping for more good news!!
Praying, my diet was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Made it 2 weeks and then failed miserably. I get you, mama. It’s like eating that way made me the hungriest I’ve ever been.

Mummy, have you discussed progesterone after O bbt rise? I’m just asking bc we had multiple chemicals and added in progesterone on 4dpo and it helped with 2 babies.

ABC I’m so glad your chromosome testing was good, hope all goes well tomorrow. Be kind with yourself, it really is tough on you physically and emotionally let alone all the crazy hormones. Let yourself rest, easier said than done I’m hopeless at it but “stuff” can wait, try to take a break here and there for you.Quote:

Thanks ladies - you all are so sweet. I think I would really be lost without this board and all of you right now!!!
Yea my chromosome results made me feel a bit better. Of course, with each test that comes back normal it makes me worry more about the remaining ones! We'll see - hopefully it will all be ok.
Emshe - on my last cycle (the one I got pregnant on), I had 5 days of flashing smileys and then the peak. So FX you get the solid tomorrow!!! That sounds like a pretty good plan to BD tomorrow night, since you were thinking of adding an attempt at +OPK anyways, yea? If you O on Tuesday (I think it's Sunday right now for you?) then you'd have O-1 and O-3 (or 1-O and 3-O? I never remember how it's supposed to be written!) attempts. And that O-3 was a morning attempt so I think that's pretty good and still pretty "pink friendly"! And definitely good odds of conception. If you wait until Tuesday morning and you O on Tuesday, that attempt may be too late and then you'd have to rely on the O-3 attempt. Eeek come on +OPK!!
Thanks ABC! Decisions and thinking are my biggest pain points in life.Quote:

Hi ladies! I don't know if many (or any) of you remember me. I was TTC back in December but had to delay due to outside issues. I just wanted to pop in and see if anyone has had syptoms and/or experienced anything like I am.
We DTD on the 26th (CD 7) I wasn't temping, charting, or testing, but based on cervical mucus was definitely ovulating or about to. I am now on 12 DPO. Starting on 8 DPO I had twinges, cramping, and pulling on my left side. Since then it's progressed to nausea and almost what feels like illness (which could be, I'm not ruling it out) but my nausea, fatigue, and general feeling of unwellness comes and goes.
I'm sure there really isn't a 100% answer until AF ( expected to start on Tuesday) but I just want to see if anyone has ever felt like this prior to getting a BFP or early on in a pregnancy?
Wishing you all BFPs this month!!

Eighme of course I remember you! Good to hear from you!!! With my last BFP (sadly ended in another m/c), I felt really hot all the time - almost feverish - and fatigued before getting my BFP. But my progesterone was really high - much higher than normal - so I'm sure that was the cause. Are you testing, and if so any squinters or anything? There wouldn't be enough HCG in your system yet to cause those symptoms so it's probably progesterone making you feel that way. But since progesterone goes way up after ovulation whether you are pregnant or not it would be hard to tell whether those symptoms are pregnancy-related until you either get a BFP or AF. But it sounds promising!! The pulling on your left side is interesting too. Please keep us updated and FX for you!!
PS I love your new picture - beautiful family!!
Hi ABC!!! It's so good to see hear from you! I hope you're doing well! I actually took one test today, got a VERY faint line, tested later in the day and it was negative which had me scratching my head. So I'm just anxiously twiddling my thumbs at this point and hoping for the best!Quote:

Thanks ABC! I think you are right. Even if we saw a sac tomorrow (what I really can't imagine right now) , I'd still worry that the sac maybe stopped developping two days ago or something. So I guess I'll really ask for betas. If I feel better the days after the appointment I can still decide not to go for a second beta. But if I get the beta tomorrow, I at least have a reference value if I decide to get a second beta some days later.Quote:

Verena what gestation will you be at your u/s??!!! Seems crazy early for one and it will need to be transvaginal right?? Can you ask instead for betas and hold off for a couple weeks for a scan?

I will be 5 weeks exactly. If everything is fine, it should be possible to see a very small sac... That was what we saw at 5+0 with DS2. And yes he will do the u/s transvaginally. My OB makes u/s fairly often so I think he will ask me to come back at 6 weeks for the next u/s anyway and then I think I can also take the opportunity tomorrow... But I'll definitely ask for betas as well! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...dc1c76cd03.jpgQuote:

The duo test at 11 was darkening. I am doing another soon 11am & 8pm seem to work for me.Quote:

Have included a pic of last cycles chart on another app which I entered the lower temp I’d had listed in notes on ff
I BD yesterday CD16 6am
What would you do if positive tonight?
And if positive tomorrow?

Emshe are you in Aus? I was sure you were lol but never thought to ask! I'm assuming you're not long off doing your 8pm test?

They won't give us progesterone here I'm afraid Hannah, I have been googling about that though.
Pbn, I know, the temp this morning is confusing. I had a nearly positive opk yesterday, we did bd just in case. I did drink a pretty decent amount of wine last night though so maybe that's thrown my temp off? I've just done another opk and it's darker. So now don't know whether to bd again tonight [emoji85]
Hi eighme, I remember you! Looking forward to seeing your tests soon!
Eshme, looks like you are getting close!
I'm no expert at all but if I were you, I'd probably bd again.

No that doesn't look quite positive yet. Although they are the tests I use and mine never go really dark.

Emshe I would definately hold off tonight. See what happens in the morning... I'm torn between advising sticking to the e4d (looks sooo good on your chart!) and addign an attempt if it comes tomorrow morning.... really really hoping it's not pos till Tuesday so you don't need to decide [emoji38]

Here's my opks for yesterday and this morning. Today's is definitely darker. Should I bd again pbn do you reckon? [emoji51][emoji51]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8d0bbc29f.jpg

Thanks ladies

Mummy2boys if that's as close to pos on these opks that you usually get then yes I'd probably dtd again if you are happy not swaying attempt wise. If you do o tomorrow and dont bd tonight you still have a really good chance of conception from a 2-o attempt but another attempt tonight will give you an excellent chance (if you o tomorrow) Your other option is to do a version of smep and bd both tonight and tomorrow night giving you three attempts in a row around conception time? What is your gut saying? If deep down you want to keep the one attempt then I'd hold off and dtd again 72 hours after last bd. From memory you *can* experience two shifts?? This would keep you covered that way?Quote:

Thanks pbn, you always give such good answers! Does smep mean more chance of girl? I think I'm tempted to do that as last month we bd three nights in a row and I did conceive. I've looked back over the last year and every time I've conceived it's been a -1 attempt or o day and I think I usually o quite quickly after positive opk so I'm tempted to just go for it [emoji85]

A question for you pbn, the picture Mummy 2 shared makes me wonder how much hydration might affect the darkness of my opk. It was darkest for me on March 15 but might it have been positive on the 14th if I had consumed too much water or coffee? I will try to attach pics.Quote:

Mummy2boys there's no saying if smep is more pink or blue unfortunately as there's no way to know when you'll o until after the fact... unfortunately for blue swayers they face the same issue, 3 attempts at pos opk but if they o day after pos opk then they potentially only have one attempt that counts depending on how quickly their surge happens... honestly I've seen multiple attempts go both ways... I think once you get to where I *think* you are mentally and physically it's more about whether you'll conceive or not moreso than if you'll conceive pink or blue... my initial reaction is to say go!go!go for it!! Bd every night for even the next 3 days if you can. But it has to sit right with you [emoji173]Quote:

Gafan your urine concentration will definitely affect an opk IF you are drinking quite alot of fluids in the morning/day prior to doing your opk in the early afternoon. The recommendation is to limit fluids (I'd say sip only to wet the mouth, no gulping) for at least 2 hours prior to testing. Also hold you pee for that amount of time. If you find it too difficult to hold and/or restrict fluids then I'd strongly recommend using the Clearblue dual hormone digital opks that use fmu [emoji4]Quote:
