June 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

9 DPO and got a BFN. But it's still early, I'm predicted to start my period Saturday. Ive given up caring about syptoms because they are all the same during this period. So, we will see.

Background reminder for you all I’m 38 lost my pregnancy with my HT girl in November. And natural pregnancy before that I also miscarried in 2015. Took clomid March (one attempt at +OPK), April (E4D), May without clomid (but also pretty much a month off ttc), and June with clomid all without success.
My last 2 cycles have become longer but I am still getting +OPK and ewcm. I ovulated CD22 both May and June.
I asked for clomid. Dr told me to take it CD1 but I have gone with CD3

I have to remember that I am trying for a girl. Was thinking I will definitely do E4D plus one at positive OPK but the OPK's really stressed me this month as did temping because I have gotten into a really poor sleep pattern I think due to wanting to temp accurately...
Should I ditch clomid? Take it earlier? I know that carries risk of multiples but is that a good thing giving me more chance?

My weight is stable, and has been for a couple of months. I am doing fertility diet focusing on lentils/black beans/some chicken with salmon, egg whites (belly cant tolerate the yolks anymore) 4 x weekly, heaps of veges mostly free type, exercising (although I have just had 4 days off due to awful weather and just feeling fatigued-thought I may have had a shot at bfp this time), dropped coffee to 1-2 a day and then 1-2 decaf. Alcohol I was having 1 per day.

I also take metformin 3 x daily. This was started at HRC and I continued as they link it to improved egg quality. Thoughts?
I know this is long Im sorry, just wondering how I can go out on a high as my last hurrah!?

Hey emshe, I'm far from being an expert but wanted to share my experience. With my first son I did many cycles of Clomid and FINALLY one doctor realized I was resistant to Clomid. I got positive opks every month but some months I didn't get a period and had to take provera. The doc eventually gave me femara and I got pregnant that cycle. Two years later we used femara again and got pregnant first try with my second. Maybe you can speak with your doctor about switching to femara ?

Looks like you ovulated to me as well.

I actually dislike the VIP fertility friend. Last 2 cycles it gave me like 80pts for pregnancy :rolleyes:

I agree with the symptoms being the same eighme. I so wish the 2ww didn't feel so long !

Definitely early...hope you get your bfp soon

BFN for me : (

Now hubby wants to wait until September to try again because we are traveling internationally. I'm trying to stay positive and think of it as an opportunity to do an even better sway next time.

Ah, I'm sorry TEb. Has AF shown up yet?

Me too. It's maddening and up until this last cycle I was paying close attention. Now they are all just the same so I'm trying to remain blissfully unaware which is easier said than done

No, not yet (I was expecting AF two days ago) so I suppose there is hope, but I have done a lot of pregnancy tests and they are all negative.

How many DPO are you? Did you ovate already?

I got my first positive OPK on the morning of June 4th, so I would guess I am 16 DPO. I only did one attempt the evening of June 4th and hubby could barely get there (lots of previous releases and he was tired) so I'm thinking his sperm count was pretty low. I also used repHresh that morning and Sylk (which hubby also complained was so smooth there wasnt enough friction). I want to have hope but at 16 DPO and still negative pregnancy tests? Probably not. Do you have any thoughts?
