Sorry AF arrived early momamia [emoji17]
Sorry also nann3r for the bfn
Fingers crossed for you ksmom x
AFM I believe I am 1DPO today [emoji4] I am looking at an O day Attempt though (and O-4 as doing E4D)- however we dtd at around 630-7am so I'm thinking this is good?? If I am lucky enough to get a BFP it will be the result of a birthday conception also hopper [emoji6]

Sorry AF got you momamia! Sending big hugs x
Sorry to hear it is a bfn nann3r, hopefully second cycle is the charm for you guys.
Hoping the blood was O spotting Ksmom! What CD are you?
Everything crossed hun!! Yay for being post-O! I think that's a good enough attempt, have seen quite a few O day attempts lately so hopefully you will join those ranks this month! What day did you end up Oing hun? Did you prop your hips after the attempt? ;) xQuote:

O pains have started but I usually get them for about a week prior to actual O so don't think it will be a birthday conception lol. Definitely wishful thinking. Tomorrow will make our attempt e4d as last dtd was Thursday but after that I think we will do e3d. The boys are ill again, this time with a stomach bug so really hoping we can find time to fit in a quick attempt tomorrow when DH gets home! I'm SO tired and feel a little ill myself - sexy right haha!
Sorry it was another BFN hun. When is AF expected?Quote:

I haven't had it before until this year but I have always had irregular cycles. My body does the same thing with trying to ovulate where I get EWCM and a LH surge but not quite enough to ovulate. For me it is PCOS causing it but it sounds like it could be other factors for you, being underweight would make it harder to ovulate. Good luck!Quote:

Hopper, hopefully you will o soon! Do you usually get quite strong opk test line many days before +opk? Hopefully your boys will get well soon. I know how exhausting it can be when kids are ill often. Our DS1 has fever about every 3-5 weeks :(
I'm waiting for af. I've had the feeling it would arrive soon about three days now. Maybe today? Of course I hope af wouldn't arrive and would be just amazing to be pregnant but I really don't think that's the case this cycle. I'm 6dpo.
I'm just so fed up with LE right know. I just want to eat everything in sight lol. Today we have Father's day and I just wish I could eat all the delicious food and desserts but I'm staying strict.. I had a cheat night a week ago when we had a girls night out. There will be many girls night outs in the upcoming few weeks and little worried I'm going to have too many cheat nights but oh well. I've been on quite strict LE for 19 weeks now. Never thought I could do it when I first found this site snd started to learn about swaying and LE diet!
How exciting mamacass!! Good luck to you and pink dust! :)
Hopper it sounds like ovulation will come fairly soon for you! Hope your boys feel better soon. Mine both have a cold right now and had the stomach flu just a few weeks ago.
Sorry for the bfn ttc2015 :(
2xblue, I hope this is your month! Sometimes feeling like AF is coming can be a good sign. :) I had the worst cramps with my last bfp cycle. FX for you! I totally get being fed up with LE. I've been on it for 25 weeks and I'm so over it (and the exercise)! I just want to eat whenever and whatever I want. We have Thanksgiving coming up soon and I so desperately want to be able to gorge on turkey and pie! lol We must have some strong willpower to be LE for so long!
CD20 for me today and still no O but my temp broke its pattern of being 97.7 for the past week so it's not flat anymore! lol Had a little more pink streaked ewcm this morning so I'm still hoping that maybe just maybe it's a good sign of O (please?!). I bought the CB advanced digital OPKs yesterday ($40!!) and forgot to use my FMU so I squeezed out what I could an hour later LOL I don't know if that still counts or not. It was neg. but I don't know if it needs a "baseline" to go by in order for it to detect a surge in my estrogen and LH first? I used them when we were TTC DS2 and I got a neg. the first time I used it then the next day got a "high" reading. I really need to O soon not just for sanity's sake but also because DH is getting a little restless and can't contain his friskiness much longer. :giggle: Has anyone else's libido pretty much died since going LE?
My cycles used to be regular, like clockwork every 35 days exactly I'd get AF but since my early 20s they've been irregular, even before having kids. Sometimes I do wonder if I could have PCOS tendencies because I noticed when TTC our first, my body would gear up to O a couple of times before being able to do it. I was so close to seeing a doctor about it but just a couple of days before one year of TTC, I found out I was pregnant so I figured it wasn't an issue at that point. I was a healthier weight back then and ate pretty well so I don't know why my body struggled to ovulate.Quote:

I get being anxious! Waiting for ovulation to happen is about as stressful as the TWW. I've been watching movies I enjoy to pass the time. I also love to bake so I've been doing that a lot. I send it all to work with DH so I'm not tempted! lol His co-workers love me. ;) It's still a bit hard for me to relax completely though because DH is working 70+ hours a week right now and it's just me taking care of the littles. I think doing anything you enjoy will help like relaxing in a hot bath, listening to music, doing puzzles...whatever it is you like!
So I'm a little concerned.. AF isn't due till Wednesday. And normally I'm like clockwork.. 28 day cycle every month. Well today I had one clot of pink-ish mucous and nothing else.. No period. No other mucous... Just one clump of thick pink mucous.. :( I know I'd only be 2 weeks along- but could that have been a miscarriage??? Since im there's no sign of AF?? :( yet anyways.
Obviously I'm new to all of this. And full of anxiety..
I doubt it's a miscarriage as you'd likely wouldn't start bleeding until after your period is due, though not always with chemicals. I don't think that's what is happening though. It could be that you ovulated later than you thought and it's implantation bleeding or it could be the start of AF. I hope it's the former!
Sorry Nann I have no idea. Sorry for your bfn this month
I'm 13 dpo. AF due anytime from Monday to Friday, I'm v irregular, think it will appear mid week. Used one if those digital tests and it said not pregnant so that seems pretty conclusive! Just bought lots of different tests online so I'm better prepared next month! I was kind of expecting it to not work first time as had been so strict, but with my boys I got bfps straight away so part of me wasn't expecting it if that makes sense! Does anyone use rephresh or lube? Someone mentioned that they can really cut odds of conception?
I think a lot of ladies have dropped using rephresh and any other lubes that hinder conception. One attempt seems to be far more effective at swaying pink. I think using lubes on top of one attempt is just too much and doesn't leave enough sperm.
I HAVE to use a lube for comfort TTCing or not. You can use a tiny amount of Sylk or any lube of your choice, if you need it for comfort. As far as using it to for swaying purposes, most don't use them anymore as the previous poster stated.
I just don't want you to think no one uses lubes- some people need them to make BDing tolerable!
DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170] Jan. '16 I'll sway for a DD[emoji166][emoji171][emoji166] for my DH!!
Ladies I just did another opk (PM) and the line is stronger than this AM. What do you think? DH is away tonight but maybe it will be stronger in the AM anyway. I haven't used IC opks in a couple months but previously I didn't get such visible progression until O was around the corner. Attachment 28338
Hopper I'd wait until the OPK is positive to BD.
It's building up for sure hopper, but not quite there, maybe see what the next test in the morning is like, Is DH only away for tonight?

ksmom, thank you really hope that would be the case but still I doubt it. I remember when I was pregnant for the first time I felt all the time like af would arrive before making a pregnancy test. I went running today and could only run for about 30min because I had strange feeling in my tummy. Lots of pressure. Had to walk the rest 30min. I think it's just af making it's way (I remember when I got pregnant with DS2 I had this pressure too before making a test BUT still I'm not getting my hopes up at all). Last cycle my lp was 7 days. Now I'm dpo6, I hope lp will be atleast little bit longer than last cycle. I'm cd28 today. My cycles have been 27 days so this is good I'm already cd28 lol. But I o'd later this cycle than last one.
Yes we swayers have alot of will power for sure! We don't have Thanksgiving here, next holiday celebration is Christmas for me and I really really want to be pregnant by then! Lol.
Ksmom, hope you will o soon, both for your and dh's sake lol! I've had pretty much no libido after DS2 was born, but this month something has happened as I've felt I would be really in the mood for bd haha!
Quinn, have you tried coloring books for adults? They are quite popular here now so I bought one when started swaying as they say it should be relaxing but haven't colored much lol.
Nann, hopefully it's implantation! Fx!
Ttc, you are not out yet until af arrives. I used Rephresh in my first cycle ttc but I dropped it after that as I don't want to cut odds of conception too much. But lube is fine if needed!
Hopper, I'd wait until +opk. Maybe it will be tomorrow?
Ttc2015 in regards to lube I have used a little sylk last 2 cycles but not this attempt as I wanted to try without. When I conceived DS3 I used rephresh, sylk and Acigel with a 3 day cutoff lol I think it depends on the individual - for some it's ok and others it is known to really cut the odds of conception I guess if you are wanting to get pregnant quickly I wouldn't use it :)

mammacass, so you have swayed before?
Yes but only with DS3, - it was your typical IG sway with IG diet, lots of calcium, mag etc and all those added extras I just mentioned [emoji4]

AF in full bloom... Ugh.. Stupid body giving me hope. Now I'm cranky.. Stupid AF
Sorry nann
Oh so sorry Nann [emoji17]

He's away til tomorrow morning (though he hinted earlier he might get home tonight but I'm so tired with sick little men I won't be awake to meet him!) if its a +opk tomorrow morning we MIGHT be able to get an attempt in in the afternoon. Otherwise it'd be tomorrow evening.Quote:

Not asking for much :P
Nann so sorry AF arrived, really was hoping it was IB! :(
Hopper I would definitely stick with it and BD tomorrow [emoji106]

Thanks mammacass! I'm thinking O is definitely approaching, CP has raised up very high which is usually a couple days prior to O. It hasn't softened very much yet so I have a couple of days to go for sure. Glad DH isn't here now, I am so tired after this weekend! DS1 will be kept home from preschool tomorrow again, he is really unwell poor guy :( And I really don't feel great myself. Hope that the illness I feel brewing holds off and doesn't end up delaying O for me!!
Oooh I have a good feeling about this for you Hopper - that it will be great timing and that your body won't trick you this time!!!
Hope you are feeling better and can gather a little energy for tomorrow's BD lol

Well November is slow coming, not many people here either. Sorry you all for AF. Ks it sounds good.
My temps dropped again and the symptoms I had are gone so I think I'm right to convince myself that I'm out. AF should be here Saturday or Sunday next week.
Hope the rest of you get bfp's... I will hopefully be back later this month for my next 2ww. I hope you all have better outcomes than I had!!! Prayers for everyone:)
