Thank you sky! I can't even express how happy I am with this cycle! There's nothing that I think i could have done better like there was last cycle. It will be devastating if all this hard work is not enough to catch that egg. Last cycle I didn't expect to concieve. I didn't even have high hopes or anticipation or anything until I noticed pink spotting and that's what convinced me. For af to show up was very confusing, but not discouraging. This time is totally different. If AF shows up this time i feel like it will completely break my hope.
Ttc! I truly feel like this is your month!! Praying so hard for you!

Thank you mommy! That means so much :heart: I just can't imagine being able to have a better sway or better attempts next month because this cycle was a complete and total one time thing with dh. And if I don't get it this time I've only got next cycle..

Also, I wasn't going to share this for fear of being "that weirdo" but I know some of you believe in signs the same way I do.
Last night I was taking a bath and noticed something floating in my bath water. At first I thought it was a piece of toilet paper that must have stuck to my foot when I got in, but when I picked it up, it was a sticker. It was folded over and I couldn't peel it apart without it ripping. I have no idea what or where it came from or how it got in my bath with me, but here's a picture.
Attachment 37032
And then this morning my temp spiked, so yesterday was O. I laminated this sticker lol.
Ttc! That's definitely a sign!! I love that! You know I believe in signs!!

This is another one of my signs! An outfit with this saying popped up on my Facebook awhile back. So I googled the quote and the name both my husband and I chose for a girl popped up with the saying underneath! God gives us signs for sure! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb8ea4aaa2.png

Ttc & Mommy-I totally believe those are signs...that sticker-so cool & the name, beautiful & meant to be!!
Mommy-your hair looks so pretty & fresh with those new highlights & great cut! I'm SO overdue for highlights, but I worry about doing anything in the first trimester. When do any of you feel it's ok to get highlights when preggo??
Lola they say anytime, but honestly I always waited until 12 weeks!
Thanks Lola! I really like my hair for sure! Yep, love the name! :)

Lola, I always do blonde highlights, but have also waited until after the first trimester with both DD's.
Thanks! I can't wait either! Do you think I could get a positive at 1DPO?? lolQuote:

All these signs ladies, FX so hard for you!
Mommy, now that you will have finished Clomid, it’ll be opk time soon, yippee!! :D
As for the e4d/e3d debate – I think it’s good more me that the e2d is for blue, it’s more straight forward :rofl: if I extrapolate, eod means there is 48h between BD (otherwise if it was 24h like Monday night 8pm then Tuesday night 8pm - ish it would be every day ^^) = so logically e3d, 72h between BD and e4d, 96h?
- eod BD Monday night 8ppm then Wed night 8pm? (no BD T so 1 full day in between)
- e3d BD Monday night 8pm then Thursday night 8pm ( no BD T,W so skipping 2 full days in between)
- e4d BD Monday night 8 PM then Friday night 8pm? (no BD T,W,T so skipping 3 full days in between)
Sounds like e3d and e4d (more so the latter) is very pink friendly – so I think you are well covered, pink swaying ladies ^^
Mommy – looking good chicky! Love the hair :D I’m so overdue for a trip to the hairdresser – it’s been close to a year haha – I think I will try to go when my parents arrive next week and we go away – I will have babysitters at hand for a few days so kinda now or never! ;)
TTCblue – re bed wetting but I think you are right, not making a big deal of it is key ;) my DD1, who had not had a night accident in over 6 months has spent the last month having accidents at night every few days – given it’s winter here it is hell to get the sheets dry –In my case I think the cold plays a big part as this is the first winter for her without nappies at night (she was day and nap toilet trained by 22 months)… so my mum is bringing over some more mattress protector sheets so I can have more spare as they take the longest to dry ;) She is so cute about it too, love her so much!
Gosh girls that have a 3rd kid already, can one’s heart keep expanding to love another? I know it does, it did when my 2nd came along – but man the love, the love!! So much of it <3 I think hubby is worried I might never stop wanting more haha
I was watching ‘One born every minute the other night’, and told hubby – “for this baby I would love to birth at home” (especially with my precipitous labours history) but we agreed getting a private midwife is too expensive (in other states there are some publicly funded home birth programs, alas not in Queensland) – I realise I have made this future bub a part of our family already – and it scares me to maybe not have that come to fruition - #3 is already so vividly present in our minds that I’m worried I’m over”capiitalising” a child that doesn’t even exist yet or may even never exist.
Does that make any sense? Sorry for my usual rambling haha
Definitely lmsm! Tomorrow is the last dose! So excited about this month! Thank you! I cannot wait to see your hair!! Good idea to wait until your parents get there!
Oh yes! You won't believe how much you love each if your babies! I feel ya girl! Number 5 is awaiting us, just like your 3rd is awaiting you!!

OMG-I'm an emotional mess, what in the world was I thinking watching Marley & Me again tonight? I watched it when it first came out, but gahhh, don't remember feeling this sad. I guess I watched it before we had kids. Interestingly, in the movie, they had 2 boys first and then 1 girl!!
Max & Mommy-thanks for the input, I was thinking I should wait. I go back to work at 14 weeks, so maybe I can get some highlights before I go back to the start of a fresh school year!
LMSM-I think it's completely natural to visualize our hopes and dreams of the future with our babies, even before they exist! It made me really sad when I had the chemical b/c I had already thought so far ahead, thinking about creative ways to share the news, the dd being so close to my mom's bday, what baby will be like etc...you just imagine a whole future ahead. You will get your 3rd!! This cycle looks so amazing for you!! I hope & pray this is the ONE!! [emoji173]
Definitely!! That will be perfect Lola!
Lola I haven't watched that movie since my oldest was my only child! Lol he cried when Marley died and hated that movie after.

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/50268a
Mommy, def not a good one to watch while preggo!! No clue what I was thinking lol. There are some other tear jerker moments in the movie that I completely forgot about & then yes, the end ughhhh! [emoji24]
Okay sorry for the random questions but I just had a few things come to mind..
Do I still need to get 1-2 extra attempts in to cover delayed O, or does temp rise mean O has definitely occurred and I no longer need the extra attempts? I would like to go back to e4d until af because dh doesn't like "required sex" lol.
Is there a such thing as eating too much on the HE diet? I usually keep calories around 2500 and pay extra attention to nutrition, but I swear today I am a bottomless pit! I've already eaten 2500 calories with nutrition off the chart and I'm actually hungry. Not to mention is only 7:30 so I usually eat 2 more times between now and bed... This has never happened, I'm usually stuffed on this diet. I have no idea why I'm so hungry lol.
Lola – what have you done? I cried my eyes out watching that movie, and that was before kids, and not preggo – heck I cry at some ads at times, so am a lunatic though :rofl: – crazy lady, what have you done to yourself !? ;)
Hope you get to watch a lighter, not so emotional movie soon to cheer you up – any silly series to watch and laugh before the day ends?! :hugs:
TTCblue – hungry?? Pregnant? :D I can’t tell you if it means anything as I’m actually not hungry and struggle to eat enough – feeling too full gah – I can manage liquids well, like I had no issues getting amilky tea down this am but struggled getting through a small bowl of cereals without gagging… for me that could just be PMS though – for you probs too early for anything butttt if it’s unusual for you, it’s not unlikely that it could be linked to a little bean ^^
It seems pretty safe to assume you have O’d already (*checks chart again *) – look at that spike in temp – I mean, look at that riiiiise! You’d probably be pretty safe to go to e4d or so now if that’s what you prefer – we haven’t had sex in like 4 days now so think tonight will have to, though am knackered – hubby tried an approach last night but I just promptly fell asleep :rofl:
Hahaha LMSM-I know, big mistake! I didn't remember being this emotional when watching it before! I was trying to hold back the ugly cry this time [emoji24]Thanks [emoji173]That's exactly what I'm doing...both boys are sleeping & now watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2...much lighter...def needed a comedy!
Ttc-I agree! Def looks like you O'd, think you're safe to go with e3 or 4d. I'm interesting to watch your temps over the next few days. I fully expect to see high temps & you'll get crosshairs after 3 high temps!
Ttc-and I don't know much about the HE diet, so I'll let the blue swayers chime in. BUT I do know that's how I feel right now being pregnant-a bottomless pit & not my usual. Maybe you worked up an appetite after all of that BDing?
Lola – glad to see you can lighten the mood with some funny movie! Haven’t even seen the 1st of my big fat greek wedding movies – sounds like it’s worth it for a light-hearted session ^^
Oh and yes TTC, not an issue per se for blue swaying – health wise if you eat only junk for long periods, not ideal – but not an issue if just sporadic – won’t hurt your sway – much better off eating more than less, especially though if you can make it * mostly *nutritious choices (which, let’s face it we don’t always feel like lol).
Hi Ladies
LMSM- ikwym. Its natural to think ahead and envision future babies as part of the family yet I understand the anxiety. I didn't realise you were in Aus! Me too. Your heart will certainly expand with all that love. I have 5 and my husband says im glowing all the time 😂
Ttcblue-crazy signs with that sticker 🤔 fx and im sending blue dust. Ive got semi trailer loads 💫💫💫
Mommy- i love the name. Definite signs everywhere. Love the hair 😁
Halley- i feel you on the opks. Some cycles ive used them they've been great. Shows clear surge and it fades out. Others its been days and days if 'building up' then a positive for a few days.
Hi Lola hope you are well.
Hi ABC and anyone else I've missed.
Just finished 2 night shifts and im off for a nap.
Im keeping better tabs of my opks. This months egg is really building up i don't normally have lines showing up so soon.
I also don't understand why cd7 seems darker. I think they will do this for the next week then darken up. CP is good and CM is changing.
Is anyone testing soon.

Thanks Mommy. I just realised i made a typo. Cd 7 is darker. I might try one of the more renowned brands. They can be expensive though 😐

Wow this is a busy thread!! I'm trying hard to keep up & keep track of everyone and where they're at but I'm not doing a very good job yet! :) July is a busy month it seems!! It's fun to see lots of blue swayers on here... May you take all of my blue dust :) :)
I'm sure this is asked a lot on those boards but for those doing the coffee & alcohol for pink sway, are you still consuming them during the TWW? I know there are different views on drinking alcohol before you know you're pregnant & I'm guessing it's recommended to cut back on the caffeine intake as early as possible to avoid the miscarriage risks but I guess I don't know what we're supposed to do as far as the sway. Do we stop entirely or just cut back on these two things until AF arrives/BFN, then start up again until the next O? In the past 4 months of this dieting I've really gotten addicted to my multiple cups of coffee in the morning and my wine at night... Def going to miss those whenever we get pregnant :) Although I will enjoy eating more food again!!
Netti – woohoo for O gearing up! :D enjoy your nap!
Did you use opks before or is this new for you? Do you know if you tend to surge fast or not – i.e. does it build up gradually over days before the pos opks or does it change fast?
You’re not temping are you? If you are, please share your chart!
Yep, am in Brisbane - where in Aus are you?
I wish I could be told I’m glowing even with two lol hubby never tells me stuff like that, but then again, we haven’t slept well in years haha well, he did tell me I looked good in the new dress I bought the other day so I take that as a massive compliment already haha
I *think* Max and I are probs going to be the next poas’ers? I’m now 9dpo (will likely test maybe Saturday – maybe Sunday if I can manage to wait it out) and she’s not too far behind me (3 or 5dpo depending on when you agree O is) – and TTCblue is in the TWW too just waiting on crosshairs on FF ;)
Halley likely will be confirmed as being in the TWW, due to uncertainty re O – not sure which dpo we’d say you are at now hon? Sorry didn’t save your chart yet ^^
And we have quite a few ladies in the waiting game for O too :D
I am pretty sure it would be ok, but in case I might be up the duff, a warm bath tonight would be ok, you reckon? I never had a bath tub until recently so would like to use the beautiful bath bombs my girls made for mothers’ day – and my muscles are tense so I think I would enjoy it – as long as it’s not stinking hot, it’s ok right?
I’m being paranoid surely :rofl:
