I found gender-dreaming last year and then lost it and couldn't remember what it was called! Finally found it again this week and now I'm wondering whether we've been doing the right things at all! Anyway, just starting the 2ww now and keeping the fingers firmly crossed!

welcome!
things on this website are quite different to the traditional IG way... personally I found it good here because it's not just based on heresay and the recommendations are actually based on what the studies are finding! much prefer evidence-based swaying and everyone customising the sway to the one that fits them best :)
any questions, just ask!
have you found the getting started topic? http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...pink-sway.html
and the one that compares IG to this one? http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...sh-anyway.html

Yay rainbow you have an appleseed!

Pinkin- fingers crossed !

Sweetsister- attempt sounds great!! Thanks for input on clomid. I'm hoping for 2 eggs! Dont think dh will go for a fourth so here's my chance!!!

Lassie & Cailian- welcome :)

Thanks for the welcome and advice, rainbow. I have been trawling through all the posts and essays alright, but we were in the middle of our attempt when I got here do I just persevered as we were. Hopefully we'll get a BFP next week but, if not, I'll be coming back and checking them again and changing the plan. So much to take in!

Hi ladies! How's everyone doing? I've been doing? I've been having a hard time posting lately, sorry about that. You all got some great attempts in! So excited for you!! Hope to see some BFP's and join you next month!!

Clomid users- hi! How did you all decide when to start bd'ing? Did you all use any lube or anything else? Trying to decide what to do next month! I would love for this to be over with!

~~~baby dust~~~! :D

hi all i got a +opk on first response today twice (morning and just) but my clearblue digital still no smiley so im thinking ive caught the early tail of my surge i was going for a 0+12 but unsure when to do this, i had an attempt 2 days ago so im hoping the sperm will have stuck around, il keep doing clearblue digis until i get a smiley, so i know i prob shouldnt be doing a 0+12 on clomid but i wanted to try this just once to see if it happens, when should i time this from as i got a plus at 9 am this morning but it could of been plus at 6am if you know what i mean can i have some advice im starting to stress ?

If I were you I would dtd at postive smiley and for a few days after. You could also use regular OPK's and when its almost positive but you don't have a smiley yet you can start DTD then.

Def don't stress. Especially over timing which doesn't even sway, but your stressing does sway (the "wrong" way). I don't think it matters if it was positive at 6am or 9am . Maybe what you can do is assume it would have been positive at 6am and go from there-and count the hours starting at 6am to when you would normally O after a positive digital. THis way you can make it more likely you don't miss the egg, and waste a month on clomid. Does this all make sense?

Kraisy~ Any news, hun?????

H&D i have no idea when i would O from a smiley digital or any other test, ive only ovulated twice before this month and that was from vitex, and i was only testing once a day so it could of been any time, should i count 48 hours after my +opk this morning at 9am ? if you were doing one attempt (even though i snuck in another 2 days ago (accident) when would you dtd on clomid ?
