You know ladies I was just thinking this morning that it would be super crazy if I end up pregnant this month. Reason being...everything was all screwed up. I used IC OPK's and I really couldn't tell if my positive was a positive until I got negatives (I know that was confusing). I was out of the state for two weeks. The diet was shot to heck. The only thing I had going for myself was the super great quality CM and DTD EOD.
I did that research, too. There's a thread about the boy/girl sway aspects here as well. I'm hoping that it gives my body that extra edge this month, even if I think it was the reason behind all of my pre-o surges. :)Quote:

It would make for an awesome ttc story. :) Really hoping this is your month!Quote:

Callmecrazy, you're at 10 dpo today? Did you use the ic tests or a frer? It's still early!
Still holding out hope for all of us! Xx
I hope so too Shellbelle! I never tried soy isoflavones but I heard good things about it. Maybe if I don't get my BFP this go around I will go to the vitamin shoppe and get some!!! AHHHH 3DPO...now the obsessing really begins. I tell you I wasn't obsessing at all until I woke up this morning with NO cramps whatsoever...just like when I was pregnant the first time with my son.Quote:

Thank you and good luck!
Yes. I got a very faint 10dpo w yds. But I'm thinking now the test I took then may have been more sensitive. I'm going to pick up a frer. I just don't feel pregnant. Usually I know.Quote:

Oh oh oh that is such wonderful news, myGirl! Thanks for letting us know!
Praying4Pink, that is usually how I know, too: no spotting, no cramps, no symptoms until after a BFP. The months I have the most pregnancy symptoms are the months that AF shows up, LOL. FX for you!
callmecrazy - 10dpo is early, really you only have a 50/50 shot of bfp at 10dpo, so don't lose hope :)
cravingsalt - i know what you mean about seeing other people's struggle to conceive. I think the other thing that made it hit home for me was a lady on here - i can't recall her name - but she posted recently about losing her baby at 21 weeks :( it was a boy, and she was hoping for a girl, and had experienced a lot of GD - then of course the utter heartbreak at losing her baby, almost brought a tear to my eye. It doesn't matter what they are - as long as they are healthy!
shellbell - welcome! hope the 2ww goes fast for you and you end up with your BFp!! :luck:
If i was to hazard a guess id day CD11Quote:

Chessika, I agree with Lassie. It looks like cd11 to me.
so here i am filling myself with silly hope.
for the last 2 days i have had mild diarreah, and last night i had a not so mild bout of it (sorry TMI)
no stomach issues at all no tummy aches or pains....just inexplicable diarreah. Given I'm taking iron tablets, I'm normally the extreme opposite of diarreah.
Also last night i had definite AF like cramping - it was definitely in my uterus and NOT my stomach. It was definitely AF like and very low down (af is due in 6 days so too early for 'actual' af cramps). DS woke a couple of times last night and whenever i woke i felt the cramps so they obviously carried on through the night.
Havn't tested this morning - will do it tomorrow at 10 do
I'm slightly annoyed, i didn't want anything to raise my hopes to high, but this has now!
Shellbelle when I was pregnant with my son I had AF type cramps for one day with a little IB. That is why I started to get a little hopeful. Last month I started cramping from 4 DPO all the way through 8 or 9DPO and ended in a BFN. This time I had cramping yesterday at 7DPO and that's it. None at all today just a little dull ache here and there. Yep the months I have symptoms have always been BFN's. :fx: for you too Shelbelle!
Lassie,
I've been having the same issues....I hope that's a good sign for both of us! I can't wait to see your results!! I'll be 10 dpo on Friday (by my calculations, not FF's) and I think I'm going to do my early Clear blue digital.
I'm not having cramps anymore, just diarrhea and a heaviness in my pelvis, if that makes sense.
This waiting SUCKS!!!
Thank you Lassie and Shellbelle for guessing! I think too, that I ovulated at CD 11. (The third time in a row since taking Vitex). So I guess it is a good thing, that I put the smilie on CD 10. I had the positive OPK in the morning, in it says on the Clearblue website, that after 24 to 36 hours ovulation should happen. But since the sperms need some hours to get ready, I guess putting a smilie in the evening of my positive could be to late. We tried to make a second attempt on the day of the positive, but it was too much pressure for my husband and the following day we managed, but again it was a big struggle (ok, my husband would not be happy, writing about this here :oops: ). So I guess, if we must try again, I should not let him do the FR (he has to take meds for a normal sperm count anyways).
Do any of y'all do the VIP thing on FF? I'm wondering if it's worth it. Although, if I'm pregnant, then I don't suppose I need all the extra info. LOL.
BeadinMom, I do. It was inexpensive and I like having the extra info. I just bought it this month, thinking it would be a waste if I ended up pregnant, but if I do get a BFP this month I will be happy to have wasted that money. ;)
Of course, keep in mind that this is a recommendation from a woman who is currently googling about pregnancy and looking at baby things on the Target website. I need an intervention already, and I'm only 3dpo. LOL
LOL!!! Shell...you're awesome, girl!! I love it!!
I've been googling like a mad woman, too. I even lay in bed at night with my cell phone googling early pregnancy symptoms. I just want to know if I am!!!
Hey!!! Wasn't there some old test they used to do where they killed a rabbit to find out if a woman was pregnant? How did that work? Not asking cause I'm gonna kill a rabbit or anything, just curious... (she says as she googles where to buy a rabbit. LOL...totally kidding!!!)
We have guinea pigs. Do you think they'd work? ;) Actually, I remember the rabbit story from when I was a little girl. Here you go: snopes.com: The Rabbit Test
I have worn out the early pregnancy symptoms sites over the past few months. Now I've moved on to more about what's happening at each stage of conception, because it's just too early for symptoms. And yes, even googling from bed before I go to sleep. But I have an awesome little shopping list going for when I do get that BFP.
Edited to add: http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/figurea2.jpg
Thought you all would like this little graphic about conception/implantation.
That was a VERY cool graphic!! Still hard to believe that's happening inside of my body. LOL.
I had a really cool pregnancy calendar when I was pregnant with #3, but I don't remember the site. It would tell you daily what was happening...like the baby has eyelashes now, etc.
Thanks for the advice about FF...if I'm not this month, I'll definitely do the VIP! :)
CD 2 here! Can't wait for the dreaded 2ww to be over.
you girls crack me up!!!
I love that i am not alone in my insanity, and it makes me feel perfectly normal that i google the same thing over and over, at stupid hours of the day, and that i obsess the way i do - LOVE YOU ALL!
Following on from last nights AF cramps and diareah i had a distinct stabbing / stretching pain. Only lasted a couple of minutes, but was definitely there!
In exactly 10 hours from now it will be 10dpo AM testing - I've got my self hopeful...
i also have a confession - i had to buy a baby gift for a family friend, and whilst in the baby store i picked up 3 little unisex newborn items and have hidden them in a little velvet box....i just melted when i saw them in the shop. I have not brought ANYTHING baby at all....and i just couldn't resist. I daren't even tell DH.
I have it - and love it, will be renewing if this one runs out (i got a 3 month subscription)Quote:

So down today. Had a big heart-to-heart with hubby yesterday and if I'm not preggo this cycle we may just call it a day. He'll go more but do I really want to push him? Probably not. We had our misgivings about having a third- financially it would be hard, but do-able; things would just be really tight with daycare in the beginning since we both work full-time. Time and energy-wise, I knew it would also be a little stretch because with a mama’s boy two-year old and a developmentally delayed (possibly mildly autistic) three-year old we already have our hands pretty full. But they are both so sweet-natured and great sleepers and so funny- absolutely the lights of my life, and my heart just wanted another. Gender desire also definitely fueled the...fever. I know two attempts aren’t much, but we said we’d give it a little go, give fate a little chance to intervene, then maybe just try and move on. It may be that time. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but got another bfn at 11dpo this morning and had to say it to somebody.
Sorry you are feeling down craving salt! I really hope you get your BFP....11DPO is still early. I know things will be hard with little ones, but maybe remind your DH of all the special x-mas holidays and gatherings where having a larger family will mean so much. My fingers are tightly crossed for you!
Oh, craving, I'm so sorry you're sad. Big hugs to you, fx for a bfp this month, and prayers sent that you and dh can come to an agreement that will make you both happy.
Love it! I did that when we were ttc my 8yo dd and felt a little like a criminal hiding it. But after we conceived and she was born, every time she wore the outfit I smiled.Quote:

I know exactly how you feel. And my sister, who has two boys, has all of my girl clothes saved just in case she ever has another. I doubt she will give them back to me if we have another girl! I have been so tempted to buy stuff, especially another sling, because I love them so much. So far, all I've bought secretly are pregnancy books for the kindle. But I have a long, long wish list on Target and Amazon. :)Quote:

Feeling just fine today. No symptoms except continuing twinges on both sides. My 2yo ds woke up with a horrible diaper rash so I'm taking him to the dr this morning. He's big enough to say "my tee tee hurts" and "want to sit on the potty" so it might be time for potty boot camp. The kid has seriously sensitive skin.
Kraizy, ugh! I'm sorry to hear that!
Oh, darn, Kraizy! I was hoping you'd be our second bfp. :( Sorry.Quote:
