Hi girls :-) I'm ttc a girl this month also. I've been ttc since Jan, had two chemical pregnancies so far, so it's been a bit of a roller coaster ride for us so far. Fingers crossed for this month to work out. My cycles are so off atm, I think I lost too much weight too quickly on the LE diet.
Sending my best wishes to all of you xx
Welcome chloe, so sorry for your losses. Fx for a sticky one this month.
I got my cross hairs today and have finally entered my post O temp range. Supposedly I'm 3DPO now and BD was 4 days before so there is a slim chance, I'm hoping I didn't O any later. DD would be Dec 26th in which case I pray to give birth at least a week early. I don't feel post O at all this month, other than creamy CM I have no signs.
Welcome Chloe.
I am so sorry for your losses. Have the drs given you any clues as to why you have happened to have 2 chemicals so far? What a journey to had to have to go through. xx
Hopefully this month is your month and you'll get that sticky pink bean! Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks girls. Congratulations on bfp mumofsix. Hoping so much for a little pink bundle for you!
And hopefully we can join the bfp club this month also maidentomother. :-)
I haven't been to the doctor. I'm Feb and march, I had very faint positive reading, then around period time, I started light spotting. Then a few days later it turned into heavy periods with a lot of cramping.
I have had two little boys, both times I fell pregnant with first attempt, so at least I feel like the change in diet etc is having an effect.. But I think this month I might need to drop a few things. I stopped RepHresh last month.. and i have introduced a little bit of eggs and some full cream dairy and fifish too. I lost 4kgs in the first few months of LE diet, and didn't have a lot to lose. At 173cm tall, and now down to 57kgs, I think it just shocked my body a bit.
Would love some advice & opinions on what you think I could do/not do to have more luck of bfp.
Xxoo
I'm in the same boat! DTD 4 days before O...I started googling this morning to see what the chances are of pregnancy. It seems like way too long before to have been effective, but the stats say there is a good chance. Here's hoping! My EDD would be Dec 28 if we caught a healthy eggie :)Quote:

Congrats on all the bfp's!! Sorry to hear about all of those who m/c. I am still just stalking this thread lol. haven't been on since last week and had to catch up.
Chloe, you could try baby aspirin if you aren't taking it already. Also, red raspberry leaf tea (drink 2-3 cups daily from AF-O) can improve your uterine lining. So both of those may help with implantation, if that is why you miscarried. However, the most likely explanation for such early miscarriages is a genetic (chromosonal) defect, in which case there's nothing you can do. They are quite common so I wouldn't worry too much at this point especially since you conceived two boys easily.
As for your sway, it sounds great IMO! I think adding in the extra fats is good and you can do the BA and RRLT that I suggested, personally I wouldn't change anything else since you ARE conceiving successfully, and most likely it was just bad luck.
Angie, while I'm sorry you didn't have better timing, it's nice to have someone else in the same boat! Our chances aren't great, I think under 10% but possibly more than 5%...and probably the biggest factor, other than sperm quality, is internal environment, especially CM. I did have a good amount of EWCM starting earlier in the day on insemination and for the next two days at least. Hopefully you had some, too (if only just up near the cervix, it doesn't need to be coating the entire vagina or present on your panties etc) and as a result, the sperm survived.
Rosie, thanks for your story! I did have insemination 6 days before, and 4 days before that....not sure if that will help at all, probably not but who knows. I too have gotten pregnant with a long cut-off before, and at least 2 of those times was basically a single attempt. However, that was before I started my sway and back then I had 1-2 weeks of copious EWCM, whereas now I have on a tiny bit for about 1-3 days!
Hopefully we both end up beating the odds with BFP's SOON! 2ww sucks. I had the EWCM the 2 days before and took an antihistimine but forgot the day we DTD. It seemed to have dried up (at least where it was evident, haha). Anxiously awaiting the time to test (truth be told, I already did once, knowing it would be a BFN, but couldn't resist!!!).Quote:

Angie
Welcome Chloe, I'm sorry for your two chemicals. I hope this is the month you get a sticky bean!
Yay maiden in the 2ww with me! I hope you get a BFP this month! So sorry about your husband. :(
I'm a little frustrated today with a close friend who is pregnant. She has a boy and girl and is despairing over having another boy...because she wanted to do "girly things" and reuse all her DD's pretty dresses. And she knows how much I would give for just ONE daughter. I'm over here with two boys listening to her talk about how she doesn't want two boys. :(
Hey willowgirl, sometimes friends are a little inconsiderate:( a friend said the exact same thing to me and i turned round and said hey hello I have two boys!!! But this particular friend just found her DS1 more challenging than her DD so that was the reason why..
We are all in the same boat hugs!!
Chloe your diet sounds good increasing eggs, full fat dairy etc is what atomic suggested for me to, I'm on my third attempt and have little weight to spare!! Although its very upsetting getting chemicals you are still getting pregnant which is positive I have to keep telling myself there is only 20% chance per month and that's when you are young and healthy!!!
Not vintage, skinny with low cm!! Like me hehe

Does anyone focus on ph levels?
Angie, happy to hear you had CM. It sounds like skipping the antihistamine on BD was lucky considering how the timing worked out. So if you are 4DPO today you have a shot at a BFP in 4-5 days! Exciting! Normally I start testing at 7-8DPO but this month I will wait until AF is due (11DPO) bc I am not totally sure of my O dats. But I might change my mind..
Willow, thanks! How many DPO are you? I think your friend is awfully insensitive - especially if she's supposed to be a CLOSE friend. Her reasons for wanting another DD seem really shallow, too. Would telling her how you feel help at all, do you think? Do you think she is intentionally trying to hurt you? I don't get why people act that way!
Kayla, most of us don't worry much about pH. I've checked my CM's pH at several points in my cycle, out of curiosity. It is 4.5 at all times except for 1-2 days right around O when I have a little EWCM. I take cranberry and aspirin when I see it (most people shouldn't combine these FYI). My donor takes cranberry daily starting a few days before insemination, too. I haven't checked pH since my second month swaying, though. I feel confident that the LE diet has changed my CM - dried and acidified it - significantly. Plus, it's best to avoid obsessive swaying!
Thanks Chloe, and again sorry for your losses. It would be so disheartening getting that BFP and then finding out it wasn't to be. And twice, just doesn't seem fair!! Maybe it all happened for a reason though and this month is just meant to be your month!! 😀
Atomic would be the best to give you advice on what to drop but I think adding those things back into your diet was probably a good idea and dropping the Rephresh. Are you exercising too? Maybe it's all just been too much for your body, especially with the weight loss when you don't really have anything to lose! I'm 9kgs heavier and cms shorter than you! 😜 I didn't really lose anything on LE though. My body just hangs on to everything! 😞
I think the baby aspirin in a good suggestion to if you're not already doing it.
Hopefully atomic will pop in and give you some advice but fingers crossed this is your month! 😊
Maiden I'm about 4-5 DPO today. :) Getting there. I agree it does seem quite insensitive, and I don't understand it. I just tried to emphasize how well my boys play together. I think they're pretty well behaved for their ages. :)
Chloe you may get a faster answer from Atomic if you make a new thread. I'm not sure she reads these ones too closely. I think what you've already done sounds like it will really help. xx
Thank you maidentomother! One less stressor for me to worry about! This site has been very helpful! I finailly feel luje we are ready to start our sway!Quote:

Wow that is insenstuve-id have to have said something!!
Got a + this morning!! Wooho! Hubby started cfr yesterday. Just reminded him to have one this morning and he said 'done it' he's a good one Haha! So attempting tonight!! Strange as its the strongest + I've ever seen and I've stopped the supps! I have loads of ewcm though so antihystamines for me today :) x
Good luck to attempting ladies and testing ladies :) I am still here cheering you all on. Cant wait to O and attempt also if it ever happens - hope you all get your BFPs before then.
Has been great to read everyones stories - maiden and chloe I am really sorry for your losses and what strong women you are to be coming back from them.
Willowsgirl - sometimes people dont think before opening their mouths, I am sure she didnt mean to hurt your feelings or be insensitive. We are all with you on this.
Today is blood test day for me, will be sneaking out of work to go to the docs as my boss is in a workshop all day so hopefuly no-one will notice a 60-90 minute absence haha. When they booked the test in they said it was at 11.15am and I must fast for 12 hours beforehand with only water, black tea and coffee allowed. Little do they know I do a daily 16 hour fast lol. Have also booked in for acupuncture on 23rd April with someone who specialises in fertility acupuncture, absent periods etc so fingers crossed this gets sorted soon.
Hey all dreamingofawin good luck I got my positive opk today too!! So we will be symptom spotting buddies fingers crossed this is our month we have both been at this for what feels like forever!!
Stephk fingers crossed you get some answers fertility acupuncture sounds great too I really feel for you beyond frustrating Xx

Good luck on your attempts, dreamingofwin and kitkat18!!!
I'm only 2-3 DPO. Ugh....the wait continues.
Doesn't help that I am completely obsessed with this site and check it 4-5 times (at least) a day when I'm supposed to be working. Dang work, getting in the way!!!
Oh, and DH called my sway "my swing" last night and made me laugh. Haha.
Angie
Steph, I hope all goes well at the doctors office. I hope they can tell you something
KitKat and dreaming good luck on your attempts!
Good luck, dreaming!
Got my March bfn today. cd29, so I'm pretty sure it's a for real bfn and af is on her way. I'm okay in a way because I know last month was not my best sway, so I'm glad to get another chance to be a bit more strict this month. On the other hand, I'm actually sad I won't get my Christmas baby. :) It'll be a late January bunny for me if we can make a pink sticky bean in April.
Back to the elliptical with me while I wait for af. Ugh.
Sorry girliedreamz. :(
Thanks Girls for your lovely comments.
I'm sorry for all your losses xxx
Good luck to you all and sending pink dust your way. Let's hope April is our month!!! xxxx
Hey ladies almost in 2ww had our attempt last night! Really hope its my month third time lucky :)
Angie thank god for work or I would be on here all day im trying to do things to take my mind of it all! Renovations, watching movies at night instead of on here obsessing over my plan etc xxx

Yay kitkat18! Crossing my fingers for us all!
Attempt was tonight so done all I can now. Wait for my temp rise hopefully Thursday. Also 3rd month for us although had a random attempt in Oct before putting it off again.
How many cycles are others on compared to your other kids? My son was a positive test 6 weeks after stopping bcp so not used to this wait...
Girldreamz hope you're wrong!! X
Hi ladies, may I join you?
I'm late and I think I Oed way later than I thought (10dpo or CD24) which hopefully makes me (7dpo) now, I'm trying to stop symptom spotting as it's driving me nuts but cant! :eek:
So, I will be testing every week just to be on the safe side. Oh the joys of being on BCP!
I so want a 2014 baby.
Congrats to all the ladies with a BFP!:)
Good luck to everyone who's tempting or waiting for a BFP!:)
Hope this is our month!:D

I am also 7dpo and fighting my urge to poas. Lol. I haven't really had any symptoms. But with ds2 I didn't have any for a good few weeks.
How exiting kitkat18 and dreamingofwin!!
Fingers crossed that this is everyone's month!! 😀

I got my BFP! I actually got a faint line yesterday, but today looks more promising. 10 dpo. I only feel a little bummed b/c I didn't stick to the diet as well as I could. But, hey you never know, it still can be a pink bean!!
