Good luck my girl.
Kraisy- how r u? Hope your doing well in the 2ww.
Getting blood results later today from yesterday. Hoping numbers are down (ironic) so I can start clomid today. Cd 3 today!
Trying to keep busy on other thoughts besides ttc. Think it help last month. Reading the hunger games. Loving it so far. Anyone read it? I never read between my boys and work, activities but I'm enjoying it right now!
Hi Hope, I hope your levels are back to normal. I know you said it's ironic you say that, but if there were not the darn early HPTs you probably would not even know you were pregnant? I hear so many ladies getting pregnant right after a MC and it's always girls it seems, so I am rooting and praying for you. Did your doctor say anything about you going on progesterone after ovulation to help the bean stick? Will you be doing the trigger shot this time as well?
I just don't know if I will test early this time. I have one FRER left and I guess I will use it when I am officially a day late. Do not quote me on this when I cave and test early LOL!!!
I am good. I am 7DPO I think. I say this because my temps are so high that I keep clicking disregard then on my FF chart because it is changing my O date to cd15 and I know that it had already happened, so I am not sure what is going on. I hope my temp stays up cause that mean progesterone is really high right? Plus I did take the Clomid on cd3-7 instead of what was on the bottle of cd5-9, so maybe that is the cause? I have my 21-progesterone blood work tomorrow, so I hope it's through the roof. I have had a few abdominal twinges/cramps but nothing that lasted for a long enough period for me to think it was implantation yet. I know I am way too early for that and my temps would surely come down with an implantation dip if that was the case? I just keep scrutinizing everything my body does these days, hoping, praying that I don't have to take Clomid anymore.
Have a wonderfully blessed day ladies!!!! Hugs and girly vibes, baby dust, wishes and everything pink to you all!!!
Hope you see a BFP mygirl!
Good luck with your numbers Hope! Hopefully you can start Clomid ASAP n get straight back into it. I've just started reading Hunger games too, only a chapter in. Everyone loves it so I'm looking forward to getting into it.
Well we just dtd. It was a knee jerk reaction because I think I ovulated early. I got a very light line on Sunday (cd11) night with FR, then another light line on Monday (cd12) arvo but still nowhere near the control line, then no line at all later that night. I took 2 CBFM today (cd13) , but no smileys. I usually get smiley b/w cd14-16. Had lots of cm last few days n noticed that it disappeared during the day n when I tried to feel for cp all inside felt really swollen n hard to insert my finger (sorry tmi!) I had a few ov like twinges on left side today n last night too.
So I thought, if in doubt dtd. I don't want to miss the egg! Another month on the diet terrifies me!! But because it was rushed, DP didn't have hot shower, Rephresh was used about 70hrs ago (was going to use tonight), and we dtd after dinner so I'm worried blood sugar will not be low enough. Im really bummed that it didn't all go to plan and I couldn't incorporate all the other sway things that I normally use. :tissue:
I hope I did the right thing dtd; it doesn't really matter if we were too early, I just pray we weren't too late! We are doing abstain so we are going to try n dtd again in a couple of hours while sperm numbers are still low. It's 11pm here so poor DP will have to be woken up for another round...I'm sure he's feeling used and abused, lol. think I will continue to take opks n see what happens. Just to be safe might get DP to switch to compressed fr in case we have to have another attempt in a couple of days. Fx this is it for us!:pinksperm:
Hope, I hope the results are also the ones you want! I have the trilogy of The Hunger Games but I haven't started it yet. I want to though, I hear they're really good. actually, I've read the first chapter lol.. I've been distracted with other books lately.
Kraizy, I know what you mean about testing early. for me, it was more like torture.. so I don't think I will test until after AF is due.. especially when I got evaps and I'd never gotten any before and my hopes were up only to be crushed. oh well, you live and you learn.
Haven't read the Hunger Games yet, but I'm sure I'll like it. I do read a ton, but it usually goes in cycles where I spend all my free time reading and then I'll read so much I'll take a few months off.
Hope, I hope you can start the clomid today and I still think proceeding with TTC right after a chemical can only help your chances of your babe being a girl.
Amari, I cannot express how happy I am that you got a BFP! Yay!!! You can now eat what you want, and enjoy it! My only thoughts are enjoy whatever you want right this moment, because I don't know if you experienced any MS or not with your boys, but my stomach starts to feel *off* around 6 weeks.
Lala, I agree that TTC esp. when swaying does not always go according to plan!! For my sway, I wanted to DTD a few days in a row because that is sooooo NOT our pattern (husband has a very low sex drive, and this would have tasked him) but he couldn't perform like that, so I had to go with a frequency I really did not like, plus I did not use rephresh the month i got a BFP because I got a BFN in Nov.
Easter was OK for me; it was bday too, and that was a problem, that it felt very unspecial, and I was just mierable that day, tho I kept it together for the boys. Plus I really dislke my husband's family and having to spend an entire day with them clucking and fussing made it even worst; it was like the bday from hell, and well DH didn't do anything for my bday either, he got me a cake, but only because DS1 made it a big deal. I guess I should just grow up; birthdays really are for kids, anyways, to enjoy.
auroara - Happy Birthday! My birthday is on the 8th too!
Oh, and you will totally love the Hunger Games, I started them and couldn't put them down - finished all three books in a record 5 days!!
auroara - I didn't know it was your birthday! Happy Birthday!
I read Hunger Games back when it first came out and have been eagerly anticipating the movie ever since I heard they were making it. I finally went to see it last night, and it was good!
Happy bay, aurora! Thanks for the food wishes! I am eating a lot, I get ms the entire pregnancies and have to take meds until after birth, so I feel you!
Kd-hope you get a bfp, fx!! I never end up holding out on poas!
Hope-here's to April!! Are you sticking with100 or going to 150?
Lala and my girl- I know I'm forgetting others but can't look back on my phone, good luck with attempts and 2wws!
Kraisy - it's true I would not have known it was a bfp but also had blood work bc of the trigger so I will know each time! Do u know where the thread is about the difference in taking clomid 3-7 vs 5-9? Was it earlier in this thread. Or march ttc?
Lala- it never goes as planned. The good thing is there really is no "wrong way" you can just compensate in another way.
Auoara- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Waiting on doc office to call me with my numbers. Really hoping I can start my clomid tonight. Don't want to have to make decision about trying without it!
Ribbons- 5 days. Wow I'm impressed.
Mocha- thinking I'll get dh to go see it too! Or maybe a girls night!
Nks- hi!
I was at a bulk food store and saw a woman with 4 girls and her last baby boy!! They caught me looking and I wanted to b like"hey r u on gender dreaming we might know each other"!!!!!
Amari- waiting to hear from doc. I'm afraid going up will hurt my lining. Will see what they say soon. Thinking of staying with 100!
Hoping your still enjoying your bfp! I'll b there shortly ;)
Hope - I hope you can start the clomid tonight and move onto ttc again asap
I have been looking for a new book to read--so I think I will get Hunger Games...
I need to keep my mind occupied till I POAS!!!
right there with you!!Quote:

Well I'm really going cuckoo. I am nauseated and wondering if my desire to be pg is somehow causing these symptoms. I took a frer and it was neg. (9dpo). I really regret taking it because now all I want to do is find evidence of people who got bfn at 9 dpo, but bfp later. Why did I test?!? I really need to distract myself!!
Going to go look for the Hunger Games book.

Distract....My girl...Distract. Def get the book it will help. 9dpo is early. When is AF technically due?
Aurora, Happy Birthday! :celebrate:
I can totally relate to feeling down on your birthday. As a kid, my mom always made me feel so special on my BD, and now, my DH just doesn't care. I think some men (or some people who just grow up differently) think of adult birthdays as no big deal! I can remember crying one year because DH wouldn't do anything for me even tho I had requested a certain cake and to go out to dinner. I must have got to him because the next year, I came home and he and my boys had decorated the whole dining room with pink balloons and Princess birthday decorations. They even had a big princess hat for me and had bought me a very expensive handbag as a gift. They remarked that since I was the only girl in the house, I was the "Princess." It just goes to show, even the most indifferent husband can surprise you one day.
Since then, I've still been planning my own birthdays, but I realize it's just not in my DH's personality to plan things for me. I *think* I've finally accepted it :) When your boys get older, you can plant ideas in their heads too... it never hurts to get them trained to take care of mama on her BD!
Thanks mydream! Due on Saturday, I have 25 day cycles.Quote:

If you read an opk pkg they say to test earlier like day 8 or 9 with that short a cycle... I guess I have the problem with irregular cycles now! I tested negative today and yesterday opk ( today is cd 14)
I guess I will just keep trying, my worry is I ovulated early and missed the boat!! I remember have twinges about cd9ish but pretty much ignored it!!
Not thinking to do this diet another month as my friend accidentally got knocked up and is sooo sick! I just don't want to feel that way again and she is bringing it all back to me which is scaring me much to her dismay, she wants company!!!
Wow! That was long winded!! Thx for any advice!!

I can totally relate about the m/s. I had it so bad every time- in and out of hospital, just feeling horrible even when I could eat. I swear food just tastes yucky when I am pregnant! I am NOT looking forward to that. I plan on making some sort of big calendar so I can cross off the weeks and days as I go. Still, I'm not worrying too much, I will just be so grateful to be PG at my age (40!) :)
Good luck this month! :luck:
We have actually been bd'ing instead of FR just cause I was tired of asking him if he did his "job" not like he ever had a problem with it but seriously just too weird! So other than a couple days of doing other things then dtd... We did get a few in, although I did j&d and set... So probably left nothing in there! We shall see! Told him if I'm not pregnant, we are going on vacation somewhere... I deserve something for starving myself for 2 months lol!!
If you want some evidence, I took a test 9dpo and it was totally a bfn and then got my bfp 10dpo. FX for you! I agree, try to distract, I suck at it.Quote:

Amari- thanks for the info! I never guessed I'd be so neurotic about testing.
Thx! It came from constantly being on the fence on whether to go for a girl and I kept saying I was coocoobananas for it... So it seemed like a good idea at the time;)
My cycles can be anywhere fro 24 days to 28 days but the first month I was on vitex my body geared up to ovulate super early...I got a smiley face on cd 8 or something...then we dtd..then like 5 days later I was having tons of EWCM and I tested again at like CD 14 and it was another smiley face...wacky cycle. This cycle seemed more consistent. Good Luck!!Quote:

I'm a little angry at myself because it wasn't the attempt I had planned. But last month was the perfect sway but ended up in bfn, so there's no point in a perfect sway if you don't get pg is there?! Oh well, nothing I can do about it now!
has anyone in this thread attempted an o+12? I'm not really sure how to go about it. I think I read somewhere that you should try to bd 48hrs after pos opk. Does that sound right? I know it varies for everyone. I just think I might as well give it a go because the first attempts would have either been wasted or beginning of pg anyway, so if I'm not pg it will just be another chance for us. I so want to get pg this cycle!!!
Lala, I got pg with a 3 day cut off, which is what yours might end up being! The O+12 is definitely hard to pinpoint. When I tried it last year I only got BFNs, so don't think there is much point in me giving advice on the matter!
I go for my 21-day progesterone blood work today and I very hopeful. My temps are still up pretty high. I don't feel sick, so I am not thinking it's because of that. I am nervous bec FF has moved my O date. Take a look would you and tell me what you all think. It is saying I am 6dpo and I really think I am 8dpo?
lala-don't know about the timing for o+12 but gl!
kd-Hope those numbers are high, fx for you! I don't know charting, sorry I can't help.
Ya I think you are like 7 days past. They are basing that on your +opk's too. The same thing happens to me every month. I get my +opk on low temp day and then its hard to know when you are really o-ing. My guess is that you o'ed the evening of cd14. Maybe a bit earlier. A lot of people take a few days for their temps to go up -- I am one of those people. It looks like that is what happened. I don't agree with ff -- I agree with you. You are most likely 7dpo.Quote:

KD, I wish you the best of luck..really hope this is your BFP month...what a beautiful present, little girl (s) born in time for Christmas!!
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I am a lot better now that it's not my birthday anymore; my DH used to be better about birthdays, but since we are a bit tight on money right now, he's not doing anything, but he forgets that there are plenty of non-monetary things he can do for a wife, if you know what I mean? :bigsmile:
(Oh and for all you dirty minded TTC'ers, I was thinking about a nice massage, lol)
Well do you O before, after or during O pains? I have asked this before and I don't think I ever got an answer. CD13 pains started late evening, then on cd14 from around 5 to midnight constant pains and non on cd15, this is making me think cd14 for my O? I looked and I had two temps that morning, and for some reason I had the 2nd, so I adjusted it and now it is saying CD14?
auroara.. haha, I guess my mind is in the gutter :P
Kraizy, I think it can happen before and after? at least it seems like it to me. but really, since I'm not ever truly sure of the exact time I O.. I can't really say.
Lala, good luck with o+12.. I'd be scared to try it.. probably wouldn't do it right lol
ok for some reason..this 2ww is TORTURE~~~
It always is torture! How many dpo are you?Quote:

I mentioned to my OB nurse that I thought I was getting too old to get pregnant, pushing 40 and all and she looked at me and said, "oh, no you are not, we have a lady pregnant that is 49....49"! I about fell out of the blood stick chair! So this being said, we can do this again!
