So sorry Junie!!

Bobster, I am not drinking lots of aspartame. I never added it because it gives me headaches.

Hugs maiden!!! I would love to get pregnant with you soon :)

Junie- (((HUGS))) Sorry for your loss! Ang more (((HUGS))) for BFN and AF. No advice on the sway front, but if you truly just want another, regardless of gender, then go for it. Change things up! I would recommend PMing atomic though. She may have some ideas.

Bobster- Even with a high sex drive BD'ing often can get chore-like. DH and I used to be rabbits but after TTC #2 for years only to lose him @ 20w 5d and have to start over (luckily it only took like 5 months that time). My sex drive was non-existent, and has never quite recovered. It is better now but nothing like it was. DH's drive has recovered but back then it was a lot of pressure on him. He got to the point that he didn't want to BD but did it for TTC. TTC can be exhausting regardless of your sex drive. As far as your next BD, I am not sure. My instinct has always been to "drown" the egg lol (prob why I have had 3 boys, the girl we lost we weren't trying yet so we DTD like 4-5 days before O, and again in the evening of O day, or maybe it was morning of O day *shrug* we DTD around midnight and the next morning my temp shifted.) So, NOT BD'ing like bunnies when I see a + OPK is going to be a challenge. That might be a question for the long timers... maybe post a new thread and ask them. I think they will say to stay on your normal schedule but I might be wrong *shrug* As far as aspartame, sorry I am no help. I have IBS and it hates aspartame and nothing in this world is worth being that sick!

Taytum- I think it's affecting my sleep too. I don't sleep well in general but the last few days I have like zero energy. Doing my workouts has gone from fun and easy to "is it over yet?" I just don't have the energy.


As for me, AF finally split... I think.. wouldn't be the first time she disappeared only to return this cycle. I have like no energy lately which is making working out very chore-like when I have enjoyed it until the last couple days. Had a few mild headaches yesterday which I am assuming is because of the clomid. I am on day 4 of the regimen. Only one more day to go :) I am having some pinchy pains in my left ovary, which is weird because I O'd from the left last cycle and usually they alternate but whatever. Last night they started and were barely perceptible but this morning I definitely feel it. Nothing extreme, just very aware of it, though if I am feeling it already it does make me concerned about how bad it will get by the time I O. Hoping and praying for a BFP with a pink bow this cycle :) I'm not all that optimistic but a little hope never hurt anyone :) *Fingers crossed* that we all get our BFPs in the color we are hoping for this month :)


*sigh* time for my workout :(

If my past cycles are any indication, I should be Oing in 4-5 days. I typically get 5-6 High days on my cb advanced before I get a Peak. Which would mean that I would O either the day of my bd attempt or the day after. So, I guess I'll have 2 attempts back to back since I'm doing the additional attempt at +opk. Wow, that actually makes me nervous! But I haven't gotten a BFP in the last 3 months of trying, so I guess it's worth a shot, right?? I felt really confident about it a few days ago, but now that it's right around the corner I'm totally second guessing it. What do you guys think? This is the first cycle that I'm doing bd every 3 days. Should I jump in and add the additional attempt at +opk or should I wait until next month to add that (if I don't get a bfp this month)?? Next month is my last cycle ttc for a few months. We have 2 kids with May birthdays and we don't want to risk a 3rd, so we're taking Aug and Sept off.

I just got my +OPK yesterday on CD17 but no temp spike today so maybe tomorrow? OPK's today are fading out already so hopefully O is close, poor DH could use some rest, LOL.

Sorry Junie [emoji20]

Good Luck Daisy :cheer:

Good luck daisy

Sorry af got you maiden

Mom - if you are doing every 4 days plus an extra on opk day will you be doing it 2 days in a row? Have you asked atomic for advice? Maybe the 4th bd will be enough if it's only 2 days before o. I'm hoping so as that's when my 4th day should land too.

Taytum I have one boy and I'm sorry to tell you that the month we conceived him was a fluke in terms of dtd as we did it loads (my birthday+alcohol+holiday) so I would still try to dtd as much as possible in that fertile week. We also are loads and I was at my heaviest adult weight, had been on prenatals for over a year and was overall very nutritionally healthy. Plenty of snacking, varied diet and no exercise. Also had copious ewcm for over a week! Loads!

Now on this LE diet I feel completely drained of energy, I feel like the weight loss has made me look unwell and my complexion and hair/nails are lank and generally feeling crap. Yay! How backwards is it to be happy to be unhealthy ha!

Can't wait to eat steak and chips and chicken with creamy sauces etc as soon as I get that bfp!!! Mmmm

Two - you've had a lot going on and j can see why BDing would literally suck the life out of you. I had a really long cycle from October-February with no period and finally O'd in Feb and got a BFP. Unfortunately it ended up being a chemical but I was so upset and exhausted from the lack of ovulation that thinking about starting all over put me over the deep end. I definitely can relate to your experience of the looming starting over. Ugh. And it's definitely not letting me sleep. I went to bed around 9:30 last night and woke up thinking I'd slept all night only to find it wasn't even midnight. [emoji15] I'm glad I have summers off to sit around and take it easy! FX for you this cycle!

Momamia: I don't know much about girl swaying so I can't help, but if it were me I would go every 3 days and try that this cycle if you haven't in the past? Either way though - good luck! [emoji166]

Tfahn: I would say temp spike is just around the corner! Everything crossed for you this month!!

Good luck Daisy! [emoji170]

Bobster: haha just my luck! That's okay; we're going on vacation this next week right during my fertile time so I'm hoping to just stick to EOD (which is more than normal anyway!) and take my OPKs and try to get some additional attempts in at +. I've been on prenatals since October and have gained my weight back since getting off BC so aside from any EWCM (I don't seem to have much) hopefully I'm following in your footsteps for a DS!
