NOV Testing

Oh 2xblue I'm so sorry! I was sure I seen something in your early morning test!! Enjoy your night out and cheat day!!

Thought I'd better come clean and confess that I bought and started using digi opks cd8, reinstalled ff and started temping cd9 [emoji23] I'm hopeless!!! But in my defense I actually started feeling more anxious not knowing what was going on AND I am still sticking with e3d for what its worth anyway as last night was our first chance to dtd and yes it was interrupted lol until dh got ds1 to stay in his room again [emoji120] . So first attempt cd9, today is cd10 and plan to dtd again cd12 which will likely be day b4 or day of o. On second day of flashing smiley. Was really hoping to have had an earlier attempt as well (cd7) but no use dwelling on what couldn't be :)

Oh and essnce I have my pineapple ripening nicely on the kitchen bench and should be ready to go 1dpo. Thanks for the tip!!

Hopper all of my girls friends have propped their hips (it's something we joke about) and there are girls and boys in that. I ALWAYS prop my hips and I have two girls. I've also O'd. I think these small things help us but like we've all said, it's our overall condition. I was a total LE girl even though I had tons of cheat days.

Were any of you ladies losing weight when you got pregnant with your ds? I've gained about ten pounds on HE and I'm feeling down about it. I've been trying so hard to eat healthy fats/whole foods but I'm still gaining weight. I've been working out with weights too but I usually run. I just want to lose a couple pounds but I'm afraid that will put me in girl territory if I have to try again.

Thanks for the reassurance quinn xxx I know in my heart you are right and it IS overall condition that matters. I think I've been fuzzy with my LE for the past while, I'm not as strict as I was in September or even early October. Sticking to basic LE principles like no snacking, less meat, no red meat, two meals a day, absolutely no fortified foods like cereal, 3 coffees a day (never drank coffee before swaying but am so addicted now I honestly don't know how I will go without it whenever we do get pg!!!) I feel beat, like my body can't maintain this level of abuse for much longer. I'm so used to eating lots of protein and healthy full fats. I suppose whether I get bfp this cycle or not my body needs the rest in December and I can enjoy Xmas without stressing about calories!

I was 140lbs when I conceived the boys, BMI 22.7. That was my constant weight through my adult life, since maybe 19/20. I was maintaining that weight when ttc DS2, though I was possibly fluctuating between 135-140. With DS1 though we went on an all inclusive cruise for our honeymoon and I ate and ate and ate, I was about 5/6 lbs heavier being rolled, eh I mean walking off the ship haha! I think I was more LE friendly on DS1, I ticked more of the boxes but the weight gain and number of attempts in the fertile window (it was O-4, O-3 and O-1 I believe) Hoping this is your cycle quinn and you can revert to your usual lifestyle with no fear of ruining a sway ;)

It's really inconvenient for us to BD anyway because of DH's work schedule so it's either while the kids are napping or sneak off to have a quickie in the late afternoon and hope the kids don't walk in! lol At this point I'm just waiting for the opk to be pos. before we have an attempt. It doesn't help either that I have zero libido!

Took an OPK this afternoon and this evening but it's still neg. :mad: I don't get it. I've had all the signs for nearly a week now that O is around the corner with lots of ewcm, ovary pains, ov. spotting yet...nothing. 6 months of LE and 3 months of exercise and I'm losing my willpower. Tomorrow is CD26. I just want to give up. :(

Hopefully I do hun. Haven't taken an opk this morning, reckon your advice is fairly spot on ;) so won't be wasting my last few opks on FMU! Having my morning coffee and hoping it doesn't dilute SMU too much. Cramping really bad today so hoping that is the eggie getting ready to drop!

Hopefully you get that +opk today hun, maybe your cycle was just waiting for mine to catch up so we can be testing buddies ;) x
As for drying up CM I took anti histamines in September and if I ovulated when I "should" have Oed with my usual 13 day LP we had an O-1 attempt but the anti histamine dried me up so much I don't think DHs swimmers had anything to swim in at all! I asked Atomic about it and she said better to give it a miss so I haven't taken it again. I know I have more abundant CM this month but I'm thinking perhaps that might be down to the screwy cycle last month (part of me is convinced that those lines I swear I could see - and some ladies here could see something on the frers too, was in fact a chemical last month)
Don't even attempt to give up hun! You have done so well this far! You are just around the corner from your sticky bfp! Massive ((((hugs)))) xxx

All my blood work has come back as normal from the RE so that is great. I have another test for progesterone at 7dpo next week.

Good luck everyone, seems like a lot of us our just ovulating so hoe
Fully this board will be filled with BFPs is the next 2 weeks

Yay for tww hun, seems a load of us will be testing together! Lets hope for tonnes of bfps!!! 3 attempts in the fertile window is what got me both my boys ;) Blue dust coming your way!

Thanks for the answers about drinking alcohol. I'm going to have great time tonight with friends, have a cheat night and drink wine :)

Sorry to hear it was a bfn again 2x :( I had a similar enough experience last month and I just wanted AF to hurry up. I hope you have a wonderful time tonight and enjoy your cheat and wine night :)

LMBO oh pbn you really make me smile :) I think do what makes you comfortable, theres no way being anxious throughout your cycle cause you don't know when you've Oed is going to help your sway anyway ;) The temping and opks are just part of you, like me and the opks at this stage. I swore before we started attempts that I wouldn't buy a single opk - I'd say I've spent 100 quid on them in two months (damn you cb digital opks!!!) so I was just in denial for my September cycle.

If I were to eat pineapple in this tww could I like liquidise it or make it into smoothies? I HATE the core lol but I know thats the part I need to eat!

Oh one other thing - what dates are you all due to test girls? Magical can update the first post the next time she's online maybe :)

Ugghh same temp as yesterday, so no clue what's going on. hopefully I O'd.

I'm so devastated. Dh wouldn't do it last night. I think his body is too exhausted. That leaves us with just the two attempts TWO days before ovulation. I'm already in my 5th month of ttc so I'm apparently not that fertile and need more attempts. I worked really hard on the diet, weights, drinks this month. Plus I paid money for clomid and dr appointment. All wasted!! I woke up at 3am and just started crying. Dh heard and asked but didn't respond. I don't think there will be many words between us today.

Okay. I got that strange dip in my chart again this month! Same day and all. Ugh... Last month I didn't get pregnant, so now I'm discouraged. Boo.

2xblue, so sorry it's a bfn :( Have fun on your night out!

Pbn, I've tried to give up on charting before and "go with flow" so to speak but I can't help myself! It's actually more stressful IMO to not know where you're at in your cycle! FX E3D will get you your much longed for BFP!

Hopper it sounds like your O day is today with all that cramping! Perfect timing! I would love it if we could be testing buddies but I feel like my body just can't quite ovulate for some reason. I went 2.5 months between my ovulation in July and the next one in Oct. It could be pretty far away still. :( I think I'll forego antihistamines because I really need to get pregnant quickly with being on the diet so long and my BMI is way too low. I know ewcm is technically blue friendly but FX my diet, exercise, and one attempt will override that.

Tfahn, hope you ovulated so you can start the TWW. Does your temp normally have just a small rise after O?

Quinn don't beat yourself up about it. Two attempts even at O-2 are still really good. I've got my fingers crossed that the Clomid will do the trick and you'll get a BFP this month.

Laurenk, you're definitely not out yet. Maybe tomorrow you'll have a nice temp rise. :)

As for me, CD26 today and another damn blinking smiley for the 5th day in a row. I want to punch it in its smug little blinky face. OPKs started getting lighter yesterday. Ugh. Figure it out already ovaries!!!

I do use opks, I had a positive at 8:30 pm on Wednesday night and most the day Thursday was showing positive. I would have just expected to have higher temps by now. I had bloodwork taken Thursday at the RE and it looked like I was ready to ovulate but maybe I didnt? Last attempt was Thursday morning so it worries me about missing my fertile window, DH is away. Guess I will just have to wait and see what tomorrow's temp is.

Sorry Quinn it's hard when DH isn't cooperating, I know it must be hard since you can only be on clomid a certain amount of months so I'm sure that causing stress too.

Tfahn, did you take clomid this cycle? Sorry I don't remember.
