Congrats Essnce! Lovely news. Two of my friends have given birth in the last few days. One it was her first and she is one of three girls herself so wanted a girl, and she got her girl. The other has a boy and wanted another one, and she got her boy. I am really pleased for them but also feel a bit low today. I am only testing every fortnight due to not monitoring my cycles and used a cheapy this morning and it was a BFN. This is my third one as we've been trying since the beginning of August. Weirdly, the other two didn't seem to faze me but today's has knocked me. I guess I'd subconsciously decided that this one would be a BFP, so was really disappointed. Want to raid the cookie jar! :sigh:
Brilliant news Essnce!
Weezie.... I know how you feel. In the beginning the anticipation when you test is massive...you always hope it's going to be positive...then after several bfns you think they are all going to be negative and that it's never gonna happen. In fact I'm 6 days late today but sure I'm not pregnant so didn't even bother doing a test today. Had bloods done yesterday so should get the results tomorrow. This ttc malarkey is sooooo frustrating!
DH has always been completely supportive of the whole swaying thing but he's starting to comment now. How long am I going to stay on the diet, how much more weight am I going to lose etc. He worries you see. I've lost about 18lbs and my BMI is about 18.3 so I don't want this to go on too long!
Thanks essnce :)
Good luck ladies waiting in the 2ww. To those needing pink dust please, take ALL of mine!!!
Hi ladies,
Dropping in to say hello and to see how everyone is doing :) I am honestly trying not to synptom spot but I have been feeling somewhat strange as of yesterday. Today mostly but I was very nauseated yesterday with some mild cramping but today the cramping is a bit stronger and my boobies are tingly and with some minor stabbing pains. I hope this is a good sign. Is it possible to start feeling symptoms as early as 5 dpo?
Congrats, Essnce!!!
I tested this morning at 10dpo and got a bfn. I will try again on Saturday.
FX cherry blossom and Me + 4!!
yogi- hopefully that's a good sign!
I noticed that the purple tint on my yoni has faded quiet a bit. I don't feel pregnant at all anymore. I tested this morning at 10dpo with a store brand blue-dye +or- test and it was a bfn. Then I went out and bought some FRER because I want to know NOW!! :(
FRER was a nasty pale white bfn. It put me in a bad mood for a while today. Worst part is my boyfriend even commented on my bbs looking larger and I just said thanks but in my mind I was screaming "don't get my hopes up!" :drama:
I wish I could say I was all calm and optimistic but I'm not. I don't have the willpower to wait either. Tomorrow morning I'll test again... :rolleyes:
Tiger...a lot of women dont even implant until 9 or 10 dpo...so you are def not out!!!
Thank you Rosie, I just feel like there are so many women on google that get BFP's so early! And I feel like FRER is supposed to be super accurate early. This is my first time though. Hopefully if I have to keep trying I'll become more patient :pray:
The earliest ive gotten a bfp is 11 dpo. Also pink dye is more reliable than blue so think about switching!
That's hopeful! I only had the one blue test. It was on sale for $4 a few weeks ago so I just bought it. I have 3 more dollar store tests, 2 FRER, and 1 CB digi. I'll probably take one FRER tomorrow morning. Then assuming I'm still bfn I'll take a dollar store on 12dpo, FRER on 13dpo, and dollar store 14dpo and possibly 15 is AF is late. I want to save the digi until I get a standard bfp so I can show my bf :baby:
I got my hcg result today. It was 24. So I think it fertilised but didn't implant. Still awaiting AF. Having repeat bloods next Monday. Just annoying that this blip is stopping me ttc this month! Nothing's simple!
TigerLily you're not out yet! I'll stay positive for you cause I know it's so hard. I refused to even test till 11dpo and only used a FRER. Testing any earlier or using cheapies had me going crazy looking for lines etc.
Ahh, that sucks Me+4. Any chance you O'd late and are not as far along as you think? If it is really a chemical then I hope your body goes back to normal soon and you can catch the next egg. (((HUGS)))Quote:

Thank you essnce!! I'll try and keep the chin up. :)
Me+4 - I'm so sorry! Hope you get your AF soon so you can get a fresh start!
Tigerlily - definitely very early, don't get down yet!
I'm officially (sort of) joining the 2WW. My attempt was last night and I think I will ovulate tomorrow (although I'm not temping so no way of knowing for sure. I'll have another attempt on Saturday in case my body gears up to O but O ends up being delayed. So I'm -1 dpo.. only 15 long days to wait now.. LOL..
Essnce your chart looks good! I'm sure beta will confirm everything! If AF doesn't show for me any idea what the docs will do? Will I just need tablets???
FX for you bluebonnet!! 11dpo bfn on another frer today.
If ttc will teach me anything, it's patience.
Fingers crossed everyone! :fx:
Sorry, Me+4. How frustrating. Hope your body cooperates next time! At least it wasn't an ectopic pregnancy, right?
Tigerlily12, I'm with you, learning patience. I've been using cheapies from early-pregnancy-tests.com.
sageviolet- let's hope that this is our cycle and we really do our bfps :noaf:
Just placed my order on Amazon for FRER and the digital clear blues that tell you how many weeks you are. I was so fed up with my last BFN on a FRER last cycle (at 13 dpo) that I had none left and then when I WAS pregnant I had to go buy them at the store. They are so much cheaper on Amazon - wow, I will never forget to order them again! I did purposely pick the "slow shipping" on Amazon (I usually have prime), so they won't come in until late next week so I won't test super early.
I do have a question for the ladies that use wondfo OPK and temp. I got what I would consider a positive (95% as dark as the control line) yesterday and I confirmed with a clearblue smiley face style. This morning just for fun I took another wondfo OPK and it's crazy dark , much darker than the control. If you had to guess do you think I will ovulate today (day after first positive) or tomorrow (day after "darkest" positive)? Any experience with this? We already BD Tuesday, so definitely not adding an attempt.. just curious if you guys think our attempt was 3 days before O or 2 days before O? Thanks
Hi bluebonnet, in my experience it is difficult to determine ovulation with such accuracy. I've taken to testing twice a day ( as I'm sure I missed it one month) as previously my surge used to be really short. Whereas now I get positive opks (with smiley faces) for 2 days so I find it difficult to pinpoint my ovulation. As I now just want to be pregnant we dtd all through the fertile window rather than just the day of the first positive opk. I'm 35 now and currently in month 5 of ttc so don't want to reduce our chances of conceiving even though we are ttc a girl. Sorry, this probably doesn't help you at all!
AF arrived today which I'm glad about. Definitely just had a chemical pregnancy so fingers crossed that this month is gonna be our month!!!
Bluebonnet, I would say you will ovulate tomorrow. I often have an OPK that's very close to a positive. I can guarantee the next day it will be positive with a temperature shift indicating ovulation the following day.

Bluebonnet-- I agree that you will O tomorrow or the next day. For me, I was getting too many +opks in a row (Wondfo and CB Digital brand were too sensitive for me) and would get about 2 days of +opks with test lines equal than the control, then I'd get a day with the test line darker than the control and would O 1-2 days after that. Then I'd still get +opks two days after that as well. I switched to the early-pregnancy-tests.com opks and would only get a +opk for ONE day (tested twice a day so I didn't miss it)! Much better.
Personally, if I was in your situation, I'd see what your temp is tomorrow and if it's still low I'd dtd again tomorrow night. That would put you at dtd the day before O which is the highest chance of conception. I think the sperm from Tuesday would be dead if you don't O till Fri or Sat.
12dpo bfn with dollar store cheapy. I'm not going to test again until I'm late.
Hi everyone! Can I join you ladies?
I am officially in the 2ww today. We will see. This is my third cycle trying for a baby girl. We dtd late last night and got my first positive opk this morning. Normally we bd the night of pos. opk so we will see. We bd every four days this time since I was really sick with a bad cold and had to come off vitex at cd10 because it was causing me to spot. I normally get pos. Opk cd12-14, but got one today cd19.
I am trying to stay positive. I did not think I was going to o this month, I had two back to back cheat days and then I got ewcm! I know two days won't ruin things but so close to o worries me a little. Hopefully being so sick and the vitex messing things up will make up for my two cheat days! I was just getting down not getting pregnant right away. I guess it is a good thing since I did with both of my boys.
Thanks for listening!
Well, af came, so I'm out. Four more weeks of eating the boy diet. I think we got the bding timed right, my body just wasn't ready hormonally or something.
Hey ladies. I'm not doing too well at avoiding the forums these last few days. I've had a week or two of unusually busy socialising, which makes LE very tricky. I've actually been really proud of how well I've chosen from the menus but I imagine I have still eaten more fat and cals than I've been doing in general. It's annoying as I've been so very very good since starting this diet in April but can't be as good right now that we're DTD. I guess I can but try. I'm out again for dinner on Monday but I'll have a salad or something. Fingers crossed that all the hard work over the last 4-5 months will convince my body that a few fat-rich meals aren't the norm and that times are still hard! I am also finding it frustrating that I don't know when I will O so we have no idea when to try or test etc. I'm still planning on testing weekly/fortnightly but I'm struggling with waiting! I keep feeling like I want to just order a takeaway and drink a bottle of wine but I know I can't do either. I really want a BFP asap!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Better get on with putting my three wonderful boys to bed now. Sending good luck to all waiting! :)
Good Luck xxforhubby!
Sorry sagviolet :( I will probably joining you soon with AF.
Hi weeziewoozles,
I am so happy you had the opportunity to vent. Try checking your cm to find out when you ovulate. I was able to determine my ovulation by doing so, and by bbt. I no longer bbt because that's annoying for me. Some women go solely with cm to determine ovulation. I will usually have two watery cm days and then it usually becomes EWCM which is another two full days following a very sudden and abrupt change to creamy which means my ovulation took place a few hours before. I know what you means by wanting a bfp asap. I have been swaying since September of 2013 :( and started trying as of January 2014 but nothing yet :( . Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending all of my pink dust your way. I need blue so please send me yours
:p
weezie - so frustrating! I probably would have tons of cheap hcg tests on hand and just take one whenever I wanted to drink a glass of wine. If you aren't pregnant enough to show up on a test, it's still very safe to drink a glass of wine here and there. I need the wine to keep my sanity after all of these months!! I have a birthday party to go to next weekend, and now that I know I will only be 7 dpo or 8 dpo, as long as I test negative I'm going to have a glass of wine to relax (and to throw off anyone suspicious that I might be pregnant!).
yogi- when are you going to test? I've been looking forward to a positive update from you!
So an update to my annoying question about OPK. Thursday was my super dark OPK and yesterday (Friday) I had watery CM and tons of ovulation cramping so I thought I ovulated yesterday . Now today I have tons of cramping and watery CM again so I'm scared I didn't ovulate until today (or won't until tonight). I should have listened to you essnce and added another attempt since our attempt was on TUESDAY and now I'm worried that was too early for a Saturday ovulation! UGH. I think I'm going to go hurry and DTD now during nap time just in case. I know DTD on the day of ovulation makes conception nearly impossible, but I guess I have to at least try!
I thought I wouldn't be writing here since it just stresses me out to analyze symptoms and read about other ladies getting pregnant but I need to vent! I am 11dpo and I feel so pregnant' I'm feeling warm and sweaty, nausea that comes and goes, cramps and so thirsty, exactly like the last time I was pregnant. I did a cheapy test this evening and nothing, all though they are said to be ultra sensitive.
If I'm not pregnant this time I will never read into any symptoms again!
How many dpo do most women get a positive test?
Oh and I had spotting on 7dpo as well
Thank-you bluebonnet!
I am 8 dpo and I think I might test 11 dpo. I was doing opks up to date (big nono and & should know better) but they were somewhat dark up to 6 dpo but they've started getting lighter :( which makes me believe its a no go. I have had having quite a few symptoms lately but the most noticeable have been tingling and sharp pains in my boobs which I never get as I approach af a lot of cramping but it could be like the dh says "its all in your head" so O could just be going nuts lol. I hardly ever have any symptoms what so ever.
Regarding the opks, with me I always have the equal dark opk the night before my cbfm monitor catches my surge and I usually ovulate the night of my second peak meaning the second day on my monitor. So if I am correct you should ovulate 72 hours after you saw the equally dark opk. I use wondfos and my cbfm simultaneously and It has been the same for me always. I hope you get your bfp soon. It never hurts to do one more bd so I would say go for it. Later you will look back and have wanted to make that last attempt. Good luck! & Thank-you for checking in :p
Good luck XXforhubby and welcome :)
Sageviolet- I'm sorry :( I'm dpo13, AF should be here tomorrow. I said I wouldn't test again until I was late but I couldn't fight the urge so another bfn for me this morning. I'm considering myself out at this point. On to October!
Bluebonnet- Good luck! I hope you caught your egg :cheer:
weezie- I had a glass of wine the other night. I don't think it would hurt anything especially pre-implantation.
happy- it's so hard not to symptom spot! This was my first cycle ttc and I was doing it like crazy. I feel like from what I've read 13-14 dpo is common?
Bluebonnet- my girlfriend had the same thing happen to her so I would TOTALLY have another attempt today, if you can. That is how my girfriend got her girl. She didn't think she would get pregnant either. She was surprised when she got a bfp, she thought she got her son's illness. She was even surprised when the gender results came back girl. She had a boy name on stand by just in case!
Weezie- have a drink and relax. My OB said you can until you get a bfp and even until the second trimester, although I never did that late.
Sageviolet- So sorry!
TigerLily- Don't count yourself out yet until af comes!
Happy and Yogi- keeping my FX for you!!
Good luck XXforhubby!
Sageviolet-- sorry you're out, but I hope October is your month! Fingers crossed for you!
Yogi-- I so hope you get your BFP this time! It's been a long road! I'll be looking for your update in a few days!
TigerLily-- Stay positive and just think that now you have time to perfect your sway next cycle. A lot of the opposites happen in those who get pregnant the first month when TTC pink. You really want to decrease your fertility for a girl sway, so you increase your chances if it takes a few cycles. Good luck!
Happy-- Maybe you should try a FRER. My FRER was a very noticeable BFP on 11dpo, but my cheapy Wondfo from last night at 14dpo was still pretty light (was much darker today at 15dpo). You're not out yet!
