9dpo & some cramping tonight. I am already so depressed at the thought that AF is coming again. I have felt reasonably positive this month but it just so hard trying to get past 9-10dpo. I know Im not out until AF shows but it is getting harder each month to stick to the LE diet during the 2ww. Any suggestions?
CD1 for me
KC- what is your BD schedule like? I am betting you are ovulating much later than you think you are. I found that when I really paid attention during my 2ww I was absolutely ravenous the day of or day before ovulation..I thought of course I had already ovulated but in fact knowing what I know now I had not as my dates were off 2-3 days. Come to find out it's actually pretty common for pink moms (so I'd assume pink swayers too) to have spikes in their hunger at or during ovulation...probably to do with the normal LE lifestyle and your body trying to ramp up everything it needs on such a restrictive diet.
I'd imagine even someone who ovulated fast when they got their boys would have a delay in egg release on the pink diet. An example as a pink mom..two pregnancies now I ovulated 3 days after my solid smiley face. With DD3 I had a positive Friday night but her dates show her conceived on Sunday night Monday morning.. with DD4 I had a positive OPK at 12 am Wednesday and still didn't ovulate until Saturday morning it seems. Watch for those hunger spikes and see if they correlate with a temp rise or fertile CM because depending on your Bd schedule you may be missing the egg. And I know sperm can live for days but that's just it.. not every mans sperm WILL live that long and it's impossible to know what's going on inside our bodies in regards to that knowledge
I had regular blood tests through this cycle & it confirmed what I already knew. I have really strong ovulation signs each month (drop in breastmilk supply, tender nipples, flat open cervix, ewmc at +opk), then the next day I always get bad cramping which would have to be ovulation. Im ovulating around CD19/20 each month. My problem at the moment is a 9-10 day luteal phase. Im trying a few things to extend it but nothing has worked so far.

MeanVeggiegal, I'm sorry af has arrived.
Kc15880 - fx for you! I'm dealing with the same issue with my luteal phase.
Af has arrived today for me too, so CD1 here again. I'm going to come up with a new game plan for this cycle.

Lol!
I got a more positive opk today.. but still not a solid smiley (which means not peak day of ovulation yet) so I'm just going to continue on DTD everyday!
I just went back and read the thread "how we made our girls " and lots of those woman did diet and DTD everyday.. or just lots of times around "O".
I don't know if my plan is solid but I feel confident knowing I am trying everything I can this time around.
Also I 100% know my boys were made with DTD every other day. Never have we DTD everyday And of course diet has changed dramatically.

So even when you get a solid smiley.. it could still be days away from o?Quote:

Solid smiley can be anywhere from 24-48 hours before O as a general rule, and then many times there are exceptions where people get that first solid 48-72 hours before!
