:( no new posts in here since my last post this morning.
Anyway I caved in and went and got a test lol BFN :(
Sorry, love being a mommy - it's morning here now so we were sleeping while you were deciding whether or not to test. Sorry for the BFN - maybe wait a few days and try again. :luck:
Hey ladies.can I join and wait with yous.I'm currently 2dpo swayed for a girl and going too test Christmas day at 9dpo (if I can wait that long) is anybody else testing at Christmas ?good luck and I hope we all get our BFPs :) KMFX
Sorry :/ if you don't think you ovulated until cd24-26, you're still just 7-9dpo...there's PLENTY of time for a BFP!Quote:

Maybe I shouldn't have messed with nature. Too many supps and crap. Maybe it's a sign I am only meant to have 1 son.
Sorry I got confused on what your days were :/ So sorry the witch showed her face. Personally, I don't believe in signs...don't give up on your dream, it just wasn't meant to happen this month, and your time will be perfect when it comes at just the time it's supposed to!Quote:

Maybe this isn't my month either with all the bfn's in the air! Of course, they say boys are more fragile at all stages, so it's prob harder to get a sticky boy bean!
:hug2: I'm so sorry, LBAM! And NO!!!...It is most definitely NOT A SIGN!!! :HH: Sending you lots of love and good thoughts!Quote:

Hoping Purple's getting a nice BFP right about now and comes back in a few days to show us!!!
I appear to be 4dpo today (we’ve got similar O dates, Just1Wish). FF changed my O date from the 13th to the 15th over the weekend so I’m not as far along as I had hoped. I guess it doesn’t matter if I get a BFP out of this cycle! I was looking back at my FF charts and it looks like in every chart except my BFP in July, I had a dip around 2/3dpo. I had that same dip this time so I’m thinking it’ll end up in a BFN this cycle :( I used copious and frequent amounts of RepHresh so I’ll be scaling back on that next time for sure! I’ve never used RepHresh before so I just wanted to DTD w/all my guns blazing…Maybe it was overkill.
Thank you OOTB.so we could get Christmas BFPs.FX.I also used ALOT of rephresh and acijel on alt days.this is going to be a long week of waiting.when will you test OOTB ? GL to you!
I still have high hopes for you this cycle, Jen! :HH:Quote:

Oh, J1W, I hope so!!! My plan is to take my 1st test on Christmas. Now that I'll be 10dpo instead of 12dpo, I'm thinking I won't get a Christmas BFP b/c I think I always get them at 14dpo (ish) if I can remember correctly. Do you think you'll be able to wait until Christmas to take your 1st test? Lol, reading your post above, I'm thinking you'll be testing in a few days as you won't be able to wait!Quote:

Not sure if it's a real theory or not but I was just looking back at my charts in FF and made that observation and then I paired it w/my gut feeling that I did not catch the egg this time.Quote:

Yahmama, I'm sending you heaps and heaps of BLUE DUST so you can give your kiddos a new little brother...:BabyBoy:
If I know myself then probably from 7DPO cos I hav 10miu tests but having said this from my own experience I havnt found these to be very reliable.when TTC last I used them and didn't get my BFP until I had a + on a clearblue digi so I will use them just because I'm a POAS addict and will save ALOT of money using these.EVen If I'm blessed to have a BFP before Christmas no doubt I will still tet for a week or so after as I have done with other pregnancys so all being well would still see the BFP Christmas day.I go from being confident I'm pregnant to thinking there's no chance and I could be thinking either at any given minute.very exhausting but just knowing there's a chance keeps my spirits up.I had a few cheat days on the diet after O but back to it today and from here on just in preparation for next month (soo hope I won't need to tho) I'm feeling a little crampy backache this evening which I don't usually feel until 7DPO but I'm going to try my hardest not to obsess.(easier said than done I know. :)Quote:

Anyway, I wish I could share my charts on here, but I've never figured out how to do that from PinkPad.Quote:

The 2WW is crazy long!! I'm not looking forward to it again coming up, but you ladies always help pass some of the time!
Jen, I really, really hope you get a BFP!! I know you used tons of Represh, but how many BDs did you manage to squeeze out of DH? I still think you got a great shot at getting a BFP!!
Yahamana, I hope the wait goes quickly for you! It is so nerve-racking!
J1W, I’m a POAS-aholic too…Once I start, I just cannot stop so if I delay testing, until Christmas, I hopefully won’t have to waste too many tests! Did you break down and POAS this a.m.? Just checking! :)Quote:

I really don’t understand why FF would change it b/c it just “looks” like it would have been the 13th too. I was looking at PinkPad last night on my iPad and I like the looks of it better but I’m too lazy to punch in any data at this point, lol.Quote:

Auroara, I’m glad you’re joining us! Do you know exactly when your O date will be??? :cheer:
You’re so sweet! I hope we both get ours very soon so we can be due date buddies.Quote:

I am glad, though, that we used so much RepHresh b/c I would have had regrets if we didn’t. I feel really strongly about going w/my gut when it comes to swaying/TTC b/c then at least for me, I won’t have regrets if I do what I think is right at the time.
Okay, ladies…Let’s talk symptoms! I thought I’d convinced myself to stick my fingers in my ears and just ignore the whole 2ww thing this time around but then what fun would that be??? :p I’m back to analyzing and over analyzing symptoms lately and I just can’t help myself. When I was TTC last June (my 1st attempt), I had EVERY SINGLE SYMPTOM in the book! You name it, I had it and then some. When BFNs turned into AF, I just couldn’t believe I’d not conceived! The next month when I got my surprise BFP (we’d taken a break from TTC and the diet), I had NO real symptoms at all! The only thing I can remember is that I was more hungry, maybe a bit more tired and when I would try to check my cervix, it was closed and pretty firm but the girth was a lot bigger. It just never got thin and small like it usually does before AF.
Honestly I think I’m feeling symptoms just to make myself “think” I’m preg to give me hope (which is not working b/c for me symptomless 2wws = BFPs while symptomful 2wws = BFN for me). FWIW, here’s what I’ve got today (at 5, 6 or 7dpo):
• Hungry!!!
• Frequent urination
• Cramps
• Not sleeping well
• Getting hot (when I used to always be freezing!)
• Tired (probably b/c I’m not sleeping well)…I can’t stop yawning…
I really do hope you all will play the symptoms game w/me! I’m going crazy here and I don't want to go crazy alone, lol! I just want to test already and then move on!
I'm off to take a quick :sleeping: before I have to take DS1 to the Dr....I just want to sleep and eat, lol.
Jen, I know how you feel!! My two BFPs I'v had my boys snuck on me and surprised me! I wasn't expecting or even trying (lord we were trying to prevent with pull out method) so they both shocked me. But everytime we've had a definite opps or have been trying, I've conjured up tons of symptoms that all turn into AF! it's so frustrating....
I should be ovulating on the 25th, Christmas Day! If not then, surely on the 26th. I am definitely a CD 12-14 (usually 13) kind of gal, at least since I've had DS2. Before DS2, for years and years I was 30 day cycle (sometimes) 31 or 29 gal. Ever since my period came back from BFing DS2, I have been strict 28 day cycle only....so I know they say regular cycles are bad for TTC girl, but it is a slightly different pattern than it was when I concieved boys so here's hoping!
I can't wait until next week so I can be in the 2WW!!
That was one of my more noticeable symptoms with my last BFP. This LE diet makes me cold all the time, but suddenly I wasn't feeling cold anymore....I really hope it's a good sign for you too! :fx:Quote:

Oh and how can I forget how exhausted I am :/ I was actually in bed for 8.45 pm the night before last but still awake at 2am I'm tired but I cannot switch off KWIM ?ohhh I do hope this month has a whole lot of BFPs coming our way :) !Quote:

J1W, I'm also trying not to make too much of my "symptoms"...but like you I'm also have (tmi) fertile looking CM. Also, when I got out of the shower I noticed I had something white looking on my BB (tmi), and I squeezed it thinking it was a pimple, but some milk leaked out when I did that and I haven't nursed in over 6 months, and even then it was only once a day so my milk has long been gone. Anyway, like you said, hoping for lots of BFP's for a change...:fx:Quote:

I'm trying to hold out on going to the potty though (yes, I'm around my kids way too much and say potty!) for about 6 hours trying to use an OPK today as an HPT if that's possible? I heard it was, but not sure. I just don't want to waste an HPT.
Ok, so I googled using an OPK as an HPT, and it doesn't sound very accurate since OPK's are much less sensitive than HPT and are testing a "similar link" between LH and HCG. I took one anyway since I had an abundance of strips...and I got a faint line! So, now I'm obsessing over what that means because I never get a line (even faint) until about 3 days before I'm supposed to O. So, that means it's either detecting more LH in my system than usual, or possible PG? :confused:
I wonder if the fertile CM means anything.I know it's out of the ordinary for me cos I checked my charts and I'm usually sticky or creamy after O. I think you deserve a great big pat on the back for being 9DPO and not POAS.I only wish I had your will power.I honestly think from your symptoms you've described your in with a very good chance.when will you test ? As for OPK as HPT I've done this before when TTC last and for me the OPK only was + when the HPT was + also.but in your case because your not using HPT at the moment if you use an OPK and it's + I would say there was a very good chance you are pregnant.KMFX for you.GL !Quote:
