When we got Pregnant with DS2 my husband didn't finish during one of our multiple attempts (prob why he's all BOY) and we got preggo that month! I remeber being so upset about it and of course that frustrated him. It's totally normal! But do know that one attempt shouldn't hurt a thang!!! :)Quote:

I'm also starting a new job in a few weeks! I am super nervous about getting pregnant and feeling crappy, especially as my job is mentally and emotionally exhausting at times, and I need to be on the ball, not puking in the bathroom haha. Maybe you being around kids will make your body wake up to have one!
Two- I like that you're less stressed this cycle. I agree I was so anxious and high strung last cycle that I knew it couldn't be good. I as much more relaxed this cycle about it all and I'm going to stop temping after my confirmed O. Swaying adds so much more pressure to TTC and I happen to feel boy swaying is so much easier than girl so I can understand how stressed you guys are about it.
Hitme- welcome back! I was wondering about you - glad to see you're less stressed! I agree with you that O looks like CD17, and you timed it perfectly! Haha on the full moon...I'm hoping that damn blue moon is good news for me! FX for you and a BFP!
Lauren - keep testing! You absolutely could O right around the corner. I O'd last cycle CD17 with +OPK cd15. This time my + didn't come until cd17. Good luck!
Kperez- thanks for the reassurance. �� There were definitely some tears, even though I told myself I wasn't going to be upset because I knew it was a strong possibility he wouldn't be able to. We just aren't 19 and 20 any more! ��
Boys - ahhh thank you so much for the reassurance and hope! I kept telling myself we did get a good attempt in that morning so we had our bases covered. Hoping that it pays off for us! And we got in a good attempt this morning too, just in case that eggie was hanging out waiting still.
FX for all of us a less stress month and BFPs! Now...just in time for symptom spotting. �� I kid, I kid.
Welcome back hitme [emoji1]

Starting to get excited [emoji1] going to start testing this weekend, I am going to try to wait until 12dpo. I am currently 6dpo

Taytum you are definitely not alone. It is alot of pressure ttc. Something similar happened to me this cycle DH felt alot of pressure to perform especially since we only get 1 attempt and the timing is crucial. It is not romantic by any means. But it will all be worth it when we all get our bfp [emoji3]

Good luck at your new job, Taytum!! :)
How exciting, Daisy!!! FX for a bfp!
I'm so excited for this cycle! I have an appointment with my RE this Friday. It's supposed to be another clomid check, although I told him we are taking the next two cycles off. I'm wondering if he'll do 7dpo progesterone testing for me.

Good luck momamia! Keep us posted.
Does anyone get o pain a couple days b4 actual ovulation?
I have the last two cycles with the clomid but not normally.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Ditto this. Just didn't have time to write anything when I first read your post. Except it was like 4-5 days before for me as far as the big one... other than that I cramp all cycle thanks to clomid. Before clomid I'd have O pain 2-3 days before O.Quote:

Thanks momamia and two! I have been having sharp pinching pains just inside hip bone lh side for several hours. I've actually tested b4 lunch and just now (opk) to make sure I still only have flashing smiley and I do :). Expecting solid smiley in morning and o the day after. So close to 2ww I can smell it lol!
I have O pain for several days before and after O. Always have. Last cycle my O pain started on CD3 even though I didn't O till CD15 like always! This cycle I had O pain for at least 4 days before O and for the last 2 days after O. And it's pretty much always on the right side.Quote:

I always thought from a young age that I wanted three kids but I waited and waited for the right person then waited another five years so we were somewhat set up. Now I'm feel I'm getting to old (as does dh) and in all honesty I do not think we'd be trying again if we'd had a pp. My dilemma is I do want to be pregnant but at the same token I want to know I gave it my best shot at a girl - if its a 3rd (and last) baby boy I'll be ok with that but I've worked so hard with this diet I just cant start adding more attempts etc just yet :( but on the other hand I feel like I'm borrowed time as such? and if we are going to have three bubs regardless of gender then that's what I need to do... Such a dilemma and I feel so selfish for thinking this way when there are people losing their babies as I type which makes me feel just awful and near tears :(:(
Oh, Pbn3!!! I wish I could give you a great big hug!! I do know what you mean. It's a very difficult decision to make, especially when there are factors pushing you in two opposite directions. I am in the same spot and did add more attempts this month. Please don't do it. I know it is hard when you just want to be pregnant. I go back and forth between accepting another ds and feeling like I still need a dd. Stay strong!! :bighug:

Pbn3 sorry to hear you are feeling blue. I too have these feelings of guilt for wanting a specific gender when others can't or have lost precious babies. Don't punish yourself though. It's normal to Desire a specific gender for some women and there's nothing wrong with swaying your odds for that. I have been on the diet for a long time too but am so impatient I've added in lots of attempts this cycle which makes me nervous but at the same time I know that what will be will be. If you feel uncomfortable adding attempts maybe set a number of months that you do one attempt and if you would be ok with another boy then maybe start every 3 days when you feel time is more pressured.
I'm 3dpo today- is anyone with me? I'm really hoping I can stay patient and avoid early testing this month. I feel nauseous but have done since ovulation and slightly crampy. I hate the 2ww!
Well we have to go into swaying knowing that an opposite is a very good reality. Unless we go HT, there are no guarantees regardless of how well we swayed. I too am reminding myself of this as I regroup to get ready to sway when this bub is 5-6mo.
I can say it is hard to get BFN after BFN, but I think it is just circumstance and not always due to swaying. Hang in there and know it will happen for you. Just don't drop diet, exercise if you're doing it, and don't have more than 1 or 2 attempts in your fertile window (preferably just 1 [emoji6]), unless in your heart of hearts you will be over the moon to have another DS like I was [emoji4]!
Hugs and tons of baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji93][emoji94]!!

FF finally gave me cross hairs and says that I o'd on cd16,so I am 5dpo today. Temping really distracted me from symptom spotting those first 5 days. Hahaha!!! I feel like I time traveled into the future 5 days. This is the first cycle that I've temped the whole time, in case I sound like a lunatic. :) My temp went up even higher today. I can't help but get excited about it. I'll test first thing Friday morning before I go to my RE appt. FX, FX, FX!!!

Bobster - I'm 2dpo so we're pretty close! I am going to try to hold out until 12dpo and see if no AF then I will test. Unless I feel pretty strongly I am in fact pregnant.
Pbn- I don't know exactly what you're going through but I can imagine it is a tough decision to make. I think that's even without swaying - I see so many people who miscarry and weren't swaying; it is so scary. Then I remember all the successful pregnancies (swaying and not) and I begin to have more hope. Hang in there, and I agree with others about not switching up your sway yet, less your heart is in a good place for DS3 (but I'll gladly take a DS for you! :) ). Also, I felt a lot of "pressure day before O and was in crazy pain during O. Hope you're close!
Mommamia - yay!! Will you be the first of the group to test? Everything crossed for your RE appt Friday! And a BFP before then!
I'm just ready for a BFP. I have to remind myself that although we went off BC in October, I've only ovulated twice on my own, and now two Clomid cycles. So basically I've kind of only been TTC four cycles, and one was a CP. Tryinf to stay optimistic!
Taytum, I think I am, lol! Realistically, it'll most likely be a bfn but I thought it would be good to know before I go in for my appt. FX for you!! :)

You certainly aren't alone. I'm only 32 but as far as I am concerned I might as well be staring down the barrel of menopause because I know that at 35 my odds of losses/chromosomal abnormalities goes up and given I already have had those issues there is a strong sense of urgency. Add to that the fact that I am establishing a pattern of loss a big part of me feels like we need to go "balls to the wall" in increasing fertility to try to get a sticky bean, which would be swaying boy 100%.Quote:

Hi Pbn, I am just now seeing your post! Like Taytum and hitme, I had to step away to avoid added stress in my life. A very close family member is going to pass any day now from a very quick but awful battle with cancer and I have enough stress in my life from that. I am due to O Thursday or Friday as well, hopefully it won't be delayed by all that is going on. I am using opks and charting, but haven't temped the whole cycle. I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down about the whole swaying plan, I definitely have days like that as well, especially when I hear of friends who are experiencing a loss. Only you can decide what's best for you, but I would still try to keep at least a mild sway :)Quote:

And if my husband makes breakfast for him and DS on the weekends, you better believe I'm going to be joining them. I'm trying to avoid snacking and red meat, but other than that I'm eating what I want. And I'm eating pop-tarts or cinnamon toast for breakfast instead of cereal and banana. That's the best I can do at this point. I like healthy food so this diet is awful for me.
Laurenk - My body seems to do exactly what you are describing. Every month around CD 13/14 I get a medium line on the opk tests, then a few days of barely there lines, then a + between CD 17-19. So definitely don't assume you won't O!
I sure do! Probably about 4 days prior for meQuote:

It'd be nice as I have plenty to distract me for about a week, then I get to sit at home, no kids, nothing to do but kill time for the next week or two. Would like to NOT have to sit around waiting to O like last cycle.... except literally this time :giggle:
Follicle study is on Monday :fingers:
Thanks two, it sure is awful!
Sometimes I think waiting to O is worse than the 2WW! Especially if you have nothing to do but kill time. FX it goes by quick for you.
Yep! As much as DH is nervous about having 4, he wants to try one more time for a DD. we won't be using protection after this bub is born and have well timed BDing when he is 6mo. The time limit is by Dec. 2016, because I want get back to work before I'm 40, lol!!Quote:
