Morning ladies. Just wanted to say hi. Going out all day. And have doc for follicle check. Yay, excited. Will try to hop on before I start working this afternoon.
Lassie~ When I have more time later I'll tell you my sway plan! and no I don't really play the other games..thats why I was so surprised I liked temple run so much. Normally I'm on here, FF, and myfitnesspal!! LOL, my life what can I tell you ;)!
HDG can't wait to hear all about your follicles!
I am 4dpo today. I believe I ovulated on Friday -- ff says Thursday but that is impossible b/c I still got a +opk Friday morning. I think I ovulated late afternoon/evening on Friday.Quote:

Hopefully I get lucky -- I really hope I do because I am eating in this 2ww. Still keeping glucose low by only eating 2x day, but I am not tracking my food etc. I am trying to stay low calorie of course, and avoiding meat as much as possible - though cheating here or there. Like yesterday at noon I ate a salad with pears, blue cheese, pecans, red onions and avocado. That was it, and for dinner I ate my regular risotto w/ mushrooms and leeks, topped with nonfat ricotta chz and a sprinkle of parm chz with carrots on the side. Not 100% LE, but not super bad I guess. If I do get a bfn then I will just hit the diet hard core again from af-o. What else can I do? One can't go month after month eating like this -- it kills you. You can't be social at all -- people over, dinner's cooked, going out etc...its impossible. I am ready for my bfp and to get this all over with. One thing is for sure - next month if I have to attempt again I am dtd every night from cd12-cd18. Dh can release in the am and we will dtd every pm. Only rephresh every 3 days -- no touch up and nothing else. I need a bfp!
I've had the 10miu cheapies before, and honestly I think they're crap. With both pregnancies this year, my BFP didn't show up on the 10miu ones until about 2-3 days after it showed up on a FRER. I'd put my money on FRER as the most sensitive test for sure!Quote:

Well I guess it's a no brainer now FRER all the way and I only have one left. Gonna have to wait it out I think. AF is due today, so we will see. Lord please let me finally be done with this swaying.Quote:

Good luck today H&D!
Good to know. Maybe I should just buy the frer.Quote:

My first test I took this preg was early result EPT and it was a super, super faint where I believed the second line was maybe just an evap. The next day I took a FRER (cuz i knew I wanted to know for "sure"), and it was not FMU but 10 dpo and I got two very good lines. So while they may say 25, I really think it's much lower and I think FRER are very accurate.
KD, sorry about temp dropping...you will have to let us know for sure!
Because it was always so easy for me to get preggo (two opps babies before), I assumed taking Represh in Nov attempt was still going to make me pregnant since my two boys were pull out accidents. But it was akin to birth control to me, so I ditched it in Dec. I did use a full applicator though so I'm not sure if I used half applicator or just a little if it would have been as strong. I worry sometimes that my lack of using jellies will def. yield a boy, but I had to get pregnant that month or we would have had to wait for a few months, so we'll see. The other issue I have is that my DH swears up and down that he did not do an opps when we had our boys, that he did still pull out, but of course obviously something got in. The thing is, if he really did not fully ejeculate, then the sperm that made it to make my boys was obviously not a big sample or a lot of sperm. Still they are all boys....obviously my diet was boy friendly, and that influenced it, but I'm really not sure how much I am personally convinced that lower sperm count sways hard. I think it does sway, but of course we can't know how much it really effects a sway as a whole.
PFP, I def. think all that stuff hinders getting preg, but of course swaying pink is all about that balance, of lowering fertility but not so much you can't get preg...it's so frustrating imo. But yet it makes me pause, because there are sooo many women I know who had boy(s) first and then did nothing different that I could see and ended up with girls next. So, did they accdientally sway, not knowing? Did just random luck happen? Or then the other thought I've been having: are certain babies just "meant" to belong to certain parents? Of course the last is "fate" laden, and obviously cannot be proven, but I've seen enough opposites with some amazing sways that I've questioned all of it...maybe those babies are just meant, and no amount of swaying can change what is destined?
I have a few more examples of events happening to people and then it changing their lives in another course than they were orginally steering themselves into. What do you guys think? Such a thing as fate? Or things that are just meant to be? Or is this all hogwash? I'm not exactly sure how much I do believe in fate, or destiny, but i do believe some things just seem destined to happen, and it's a mystery of why.
