I'm totally in that same place too. At this point I just wanna get pregnant and not have to wait longer, but I totally get the feeling of being both terrified and excited about getting a bpf or not! I'm to the point where I've done all I can to date, so now I'm just ready to get pregnant and find out if it worked! And if it didn't, then oh well I will love my next daughter with everything in me and just try again later- for me anyways since this is onlyQuote:

Has anyone taken clomid days 5-9? I usually take it 3-7 switched it up this month. My temps have been so weird. I'm not even sure when I O'd. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12...2459dd9af3.jpg

Quinn I think Atomic mentioned in another post that temps while using Clomid are unreliable. I guess it can make them wonky. There's really not enough data on your chart to say for sure but CD14 looks like a possibility for O day with a slow rise. Temp wise CD17 is a possibility but do you typically O three days after a pos. OPK?
So happy for you Signing! FX baby is a sticky one!! More of us need to be moving over to the DD boards! :)
My friend had her daughter yesterday so now she has her PP. I'm happy for her but sad for me. :( I keep wishing for a daughter and I feel like she's out there somewhere waiting for me (does that sound weird?) but I'm worried I may never get her. I really want to get pregnant again but at the same time I'm both scared of another loss and of having another boy. I know I would love him just as much as my other sons but this is my last shot. Despite all of that I feel like I've relaxed on my sway a lot after doing it for 7 months. I didn't want swaying to take over especially during the holidays so I'm trying really hard to focus on other stuff and think sticky thoughts. lol
Thanks Ksmom. I was trying to wait until I was done with clomid to start temping because I heard it messed with temps. Next month ill be monitored by the RE so that will be better.
I know what you feel about being worried. My dh would do anything for a son and I can't imagine him having a third daughter. Obviously we love all of our kids but it still feels like something is missing. I look at all the people that have one of each first try and it seems so easy. I want a bfp sooo bad. We've been trying forever it feels but I know I'll be scared if I get one thinking it may be another dd.
I lived a pretty le lifestyle with my girls but had plenty of cheat days (weeks?) and still had girls so I think it's how your body had been conditioned over time. Seven months is a long time!

I def live very LE friendly in general.. So I'm hoping that since my entire lifestyle has changed so I'm more boy naturally now that that will help. Hate that I haven't lost the baby weight from DD.. But maybe it's for the better?? We'll see I suppose. But yes I totally know what you mean by somethings missing. People including my DH don't understand GD.. It's never the children we have that makes us sad or disappointed.. it's only a worry over the children we may never have. Ya know?Quote:

Anyway, temping on a clomid cycle has always been just as reliable as normal cycles so it is probably right. I think you are supposed to O 5 to 10 days after clomid so it's in that range. Fx for a bfp!
So I'm 2dpo and for the last hour or so I've been having twinges of (not bad) pain after feeling af type cramps around the lh ovary area. I don't recall having cramps/twinges like this so early! I'm imagining in my head that my egg didn't die unfertilised and that its in fact a fertilised egg slowly making its way down for implantation in week or less time [emoji23] oh you gotta love the brain!!
YES. That's exactly how I feel and I think how many ladies on GD feel. I love my boys and don't wish they were girls but I do worry I may not ever have the daughter I've always dreamed of.Quote:

Ooohh I hope so ksmon!! I've felt crampy before but not until 5dpo and after, never felt it this early and it was a pulsating type pain to!! Hence my imagination of a large egg moving through a small tube - only it looked like a chicken egg [emoji23]
I think I normally get little twinges in my uterus around 5 or 6dpo when I have been pregnant but nothing this month :(
Temps are still lower than normal for me post O and still unsure when I ovulated, today is either 2 or 4 DPO. I also have been feeling some cramping/twinges the last couple of days. The one time it felt like when you have an twitch/jumping in your muscle that you can't stop but on my lower left side where tubes would be, really weird feeling. Had blood work done on Monday and the levels lead me to believe that I am 4DPO but I could be wrong.

I would say 2dpo with a slow rise
Tfahn, when do you normally O? I'd keep on BD'ing in case your body geared up to O but didn't.
I have O'd anywhere from CD13-20 in the past. Hopefully tomorrow's temp climbs up so I can stop guessing. I have a progesterone level check next Monday so maybe that will clue me in more.Quote:

The spike I did get with an open circle after pos opk is unreliable and I don't think it would have been that high if it was a normal mornings temp, I'm actually leaning towards discarding it but waiting to see what happens.I was hoping yesterday's dip was a fall back rise but it hasn't spiked again this morning so at the moment I'm flying blind. All I know is I have oed - my cm is usually very consistent.Attachment 28944
Forgot to add my post o temps have consistently been between 36.5 and 36.9 and I'm still nowhere near these levels :(
My friend finds out gender today.. /: I just know it's a boy.. All my friends and family have had or are having boys this year [emoji20] it's so hard..
I also just have a feeling it's a boy knowing her diet and lifestyle.. And her symptoms once she was pregnant. Ugh I dread today..
That's a tough chart PBN, I wish there was a way we could know for sure that we O'd. I don't check CM everyday, I only notate it on my chart when I notice EWCM, which the last day for that was on CD19. Hopefully our charts start making sense. :fx:
I got my first +OPK on Saturday evening and had bloodwork on Monday(I'm supposed to go the next day but being the weekend I had to wait). The numbers were really different from last month so I am not sure if my numbers dropped lower because the extra day in there meaning I already ovulated and the numbers were lowering naturally, or if I just have bad eggs this month, or that I haven't ovulated at all which has never happened before.
I had the HSG procedure this month so I don't know if that is screwing with my cycle or not, I looked online and read a few people had messed up cycles after doing the HSG which doesn't make sense since the test does nothing to your hormones. a Few people even had no ovulation the month of the test which might be me if my temp doesn't jump tomorrow. I have an appt with the RE doctor next Tuesday to pick up a script for Clomid next month if I don't get a BFP this cycle.
Well hopefully you wont need that script tfahn! I've thought of stopping temping but that would stress me out more not knowing if my chart stays as crappy lol!
Hugs nann! I know the feeling well I feel like all my friends either have girls or pp!!
Hi Girls, How is everyone?
I will be cd15 tomorrow and I will be having my first follicle scan. I have been tossing up between not going for the scan and going for the scan. I would just feel more comfortable if I know whats going on in there its just it costs 300 dollars which is alot of money so close to xmas! Anyway I will let you know how it goes. My opk is getting a bit darker so I hope to ovulate over the weekend FX
Hi pinkin! Welcome back! I know its alot of money but imagine the peace of mind!! Best wishes for this cycle!
Are you doing clomid pinkin?
Tfhan, I still think cd20 so 2dpo.
This week I'm trying to enjoy that I'm not pregnant! We are experiencing a heatwave at the moment so it has been over 40 the last few days with no change until Sunday (that's 104 for you guys in the US). It's a bit unusual for December.
Are you in SA purple?
Yep :) how did you guess? Nowhere else in the country/world is this hot at the moment :)
She's having a boy.. This sucks I hate this... I cry every freaking time someone around me gets a boy.. I did a count. I know 13 people who had babies since DD was born.. 11 were boys and 2 were girls... I've had to relive this 11 times in 8 months.. I'm exhausted.. This makes 12... I'm so tired of crying...
I'm sorry I'm venting cuz I have no one else to vent to.. /:
It's ok Nann you can vent. Is it her first? Is it possible she wanted a girl?
It is hard seeing others with what you want and wondering why not me? Try to keep positive as you might be pregnant with your boy soon. Swaying stats on here for boys are so high so you have such a good chance that you will have a successful sway!
Having said all that I'm still super jealous of my friends who just got a girl without trying but then I remember how awesome DS2 is and I wouldn't swap him for anything!
It is her first. They didn't care- though I feel like everyone has a preference.. Some stronger than others of course. The stats are encouraging for sure. And my lifestyle is 180 degrees from when I conceived DD.. So I much more boy friendly. Night and day from a year ago. I just have this sick feeling that I'll just never get that boy.. Even if the stars align and I do everything right.. Mother Nature, God, karma whatever is going to just give me girl after girl after girl. Regardless what I do.. I'm terrified [emoji20]
Sorry to be Debbie downer over here.. I say all this knowing you all truly understand my pain. :(
Huge hugs nann! Definately know how you feel only about the opposite gender! Us boy mums feel like we can only produce boys and you girl mums feel you can only have girls!
Yep I definitely feel like I can only make boys. My preference before kids was to have a girl first so I knew I had one and then either a boy or another girl. I thought having two boys was the worst option! Now it's hard to imagine anything else but I still have a strong desire for a girl. It would be so much easier to be one of those people who didn't mind either way.
How many children would you like to have Nann?
Right?? I wish so bad I could just shut it off and not care.. :(
We hope to have many. 4 minimum. But we plan to adopt at least one.
I know I have many more chances. I'm just scared to even get one more girl.. I never even wanted one to begin with... :( I love DD more than anything in the world and would trade her for any boy. But I never wanted girls ever. So one is enough!!! :( any child will be loved don't get me wrong.. I just don't know how much more gender disappointment and depression I can take.
Well there is a good chance of at least one boy :) You might even end up with all boys and come back here for a girl sway :)
Are you in the US? Adoption is pretty difficult here so it's not as common and normally only infertile couples go with the option. I think the US has more babies available though.
Edit: Sorry I just read your next post. I do think in time your GD will ease. Yiu may find your fears about having a girl arent so bad. Sorry to make it sound like you have lots of chances. I personally dreaded the idea of being a all boy mum but 7 years into it and its not really that bad.
Haha I hope I end up with the rest being boys! And tht I do come back to sway girl (: and yes I'm in the US. We are still debating domestic or international. But we are adopting about when given the option
Hi Purple. Yes This was my first month of clomid days 5 to 9.
I am cd15 tomorrow so hopefully its not too early for a scan!
Nann I am so sorry but I understand how you feel. GD is such an awful thing .. Hugs
I had my scans at cd13 and cd 14 when I did clomid 5-9 so it shouldn't be too early. Good luck!
Purple, Can they tell how many follicles I could probably ovulate? How many did you have on day 14 that were a good size? If I have any more then2 I wont be trying
