Nann,hated that you did not get your bfp this am I was hoping you would. Praying for all you ladies that everyone gets all bfp this year. Madentomorher we will be testing around the same time if you test early I would like to know. I'm ttc Boy. Wishing everyone Good Luck.
How long have you been ttc nann? If af has not arrived surely there is always a chance? Hope you get a positive result soon and it's a blue one x o
This will make 4 months ttc. So not long by any means. I just didn't think it would take QUITE this long. I have regular 28day cycles. I JUST turn 24 last month. Only have one DD and she's only 9 months. I nursed for a month and a half before cycles came back and I stopped nursing. /: idk it's just frustrating. Both my SIL had one hit wonders.. And got boy too of course.. :( and I'm over here working my ass off spending so much money on ttc a boy and it's just not working.. But I also don't know much about ttc and all this, I only just started learning literally 9 months ago, just after DD was born lol so 4 months is probably totally normal.
4+ months anyway lol
Nann, I can definitely see how that would be stressful. I hope you see that BFP soon.
Girlieplease, welcome! I hope you get your 2nd DD, whether you are pregnant this month or not. We are cycle buddies , I'm 8dpo also with tons of symptoms but probably not pregnant, I'm on fertility meds and my BD timing was poor.
purple, I feel you. I developed acne rosacea right after my DH died and it has never gone away. I had perfect skin as a teen so extra annoying! Can you get meds to help you O sooner? Seems valid in your case.
Gagirl, I'll definitely post if I test early. It's sooo tempting especially as I if I am pregnant it could well be with multiples, so I might get a BFP sooner. But I don't test well on any urine tests so really trying to wait a whole more week. Are you 8DPO also or simply testing early?
What symptoms do you have maidentomother? I really don't have many except a bit of discharge, bit of sickness and tingling in boobs, when are you going to test? Good to have people with you on the journey. I bd on the Monday and Tuesday ( early hours of Wednesday morning) and then ovulated on the Saturday, so I think it is highly unlikely that am pregnant, unless one of the wee swimmers hung around for ages! Maybe as I said reading all these posts about ttc is confusing me!
So frustrating nann, I feel like everyone around me has dd's two of my friends have not so long ago had their 3rd dd' s! X o
Sorry just seen your going to wait another week maidentomother, I lp is usually short 10 - 11 days so af will probably show up before I would need to test x
I had DD March 30. And from March 30 to Dec 16 I personally know 14 babies that were born/announced. 11 were boys, 3 were girls :( all friends and family.. I just wanna be pregnant so bad again.. And I just wanna hear it's a boy so bad [emoji17] just like everyone on here though too haha. Makes swaying, ttc and waiting so much hard when I'm surrounded by people announcing and giving birth to boys!
Girlie, what symptoms HAVEN'T I had, lol! Since O Ive had uterine cramping about half the time, weird cramping on both sides (near tubes/ovaries) unlike anything I've ever felt at 2DPO, pinching/pricking on both sides of my uterus at 6-7DPO, sore & tingly boobs since 3 days ago (never had tingly boobs before, without any extra nipple sensation), exhausted and fell asleep for hours yesterday and today. My temps are also a very unique pattern. But since I released 4 eggs maybe it's just extra hormones.
I naturally have a 10 day LP on average but it is likely the meds/multiple eggs will extend my LP, thus why I am trying to hold out until 15DPO. But I may cave earlier if my temps stay high/continue to rise and I don't spot. Or if I feel REALLY pregnant. Or AF may just arrive on time on Tuesday.
I think you have a better chance than me. I've conceived from 6+ days before O but unfortunately DF wasn't feeling well so I only BDed once 6+ hours after I Oed which is very slim odds. Sperm last MUCH longer than eggs. Fx for us both.
Does pizza sway blue?? Cuz I'm having pity pizza right now and I can't remember what it sways or not lol.
I'm disappointed so pizza was the only answer :p
I could live off pizza, so hopefully it does sway blue :)
It can. Eat a lot!
Sure! Welcome. :fingers: for you!Quote:

I like BLUE swaying things lol and suddenly changing all that is extremely hard. I'm not even swaying anymore and the pinker elements of my life at the moment are driving me nuts. We've recently learned that DH has high cholesterol so we've been trying to eat leaner (i.e. healthier fats... although I think healthy fats sway blue??, white meat over red meat... though we've had red meat a few times since making the change, etc.) and I'm missing red meat in a big way already(chicken and turkey get old FAST!). I want a breakfast chop (the super thinly sliced ones) so bad I can taste it. I'm a big fan of cottage cheese... I could, and to a degree have, lived on it (I was eating it and other dairy products almost exclusively when we conceived DD) but I find the fat free version to be less than palatable so we just don't buy it... so I guess we are swaying girl by avoiding that. Anyway, my point is most PINK things aggravate me and I am not even swaying technically and I still have to deal with it, lol. I'm also going couch potato at the moment because I sit home bored to tears all day so I watch TV to have SOMETHING to do, which also sways pink. I'm also doing some blue stuff (healthy fats, eating breakfast and cereal, etc.) so I can't say I have a solid sway going AT ALL but I'm also not trying to :shrug: I honestly gotta give you ladies that do a full-on sway for months and years some SERIOUS props! Ya'll are stronger and/or more determined than me lol.Quote:

Twointow, I very much naturally lived a blue friendly life too. I've always eaten breakfast of some sort, lots of oatmeal/cereal, meat, full fat dairy, lots of fortified milk, lots of healthy fats like olive oil, snacking all day. I've been on LE for 8 months now and skipping breakfast for 14 months and it was a massive change for me. I've been doing it so long that it's my normal now but I really do miss eating whatever, whenever I want without ever worrying about cals/fat/protein. I've always hated exercise but I guess after doing it for so long now I don't feel right if I skip my workout. I feel like despite everything I've been doing to sway we'll still have ds3 but I figured I'd give it a go, ya know?
I really hope you still end up getting your rainbow girl. Heck I wish we could all get our DG!
Maidentomother I am 8 dpo today. I got my first positive opk New Year's Eve. It was pos for the next two days. We dtd that first night next morning next night and next morning. So I'm praying hard for bfp. I have been doing the he diet for 3 months. Guess we will find out soon I'm so impatient though.
Well FF doesn't lie. Nor do my hcg strips. Have some pink in my cm tonight. On to the next cycle ttc blue... [emoji17]
I'm sorry :( (((HUGS))) :fingers: that this next cycle brings your golden eggie!Quote:

I'm sorry nann :-(
When is your next O due?
January 25th /:
That's my birthday :-)Quote:

Nann so sorry, fingers crossed that next month will be yours. Think am out as well, definitely feel more periody this morning and I miscalculated and am only 8 dpo today. It is amazing how disappointed I feel, I wasn't even trying to get pregnant and yet am gutted? Cannot imagine what it is like for you ladies that have been working so hard at trying to get pregnant and it does not work! :-( x o
I had terrible cystic acne as a teenager so I'm used to having bad skin. Even when I was on the pill I would still get a couple here and there. When I look back at all my symptoms it seems so obvious that I have PCOS! I think the fact that I have always been thin meant I only just got diagnosed.Quote:

I also wanted to wait a little longer as I'm not really that keen to have a late Sept / early Oct due date as both my boys are born late Sept only 4 days apart!
Sorry AF is on her way Nann :( Good luck for your next cycle!!
So sorry Nann. I know how you feel so desperately wanting a boy and everyone around you seems to have them. It really feels like someone is rubbing salt into the wound, I hardly know anyone with all boys and both times I was pregnant almost all my friends had girls. My SIL is pregnant with number 2 and I just know it will be a girl.
I need to make a decision soon as to how long I'm willing to continue ttc. It's consumed me for well over a year now. I'm feeling bad as I have pretty much given up on the diet over the last few weeks! I still skip breakfast but am eating much more nutrient rich foods. Still hardly any meat but I did have a steak last night. And it was delicious! I will also need to change my name if I get a bfn this month!!!
We are going to try until July/August, I needed to set a date of when to stop trying as I don't want to be able to move on if needed. I have already decided if it doesn't happen then we are doing a family cruise next year as it is something nice to look forward to that would be too expensive if we have 3 kids.
That's a good plan purple! Great idea to have something fun to look forward to if it doesn't work out. When we went HT it took so long to persuade DH and I promised him we would only try once. Then when it didn't work I wanted to try again - I can see the temptation for keeping going until you succeed. It is really very hard to walk away from this dream. If our IVF had worked I would be due this month. I had always said I wanted to have our last baby by the end of 2015 but I think we will give it one more month. Because of my long cycles I will actually miss ovulating in January and it would be into Feb. Then I can really say I tried as hard as I could, I tried everything. I really don't fancy a December baby and for me personally I feel the age gap between my kids etc will be getting too big to be looking to go into 2017. All my boys will be at school this year and I know it will be too hard to go back to the baby stage, plus I had really wanted to have my last child before I was 35 and I will be 36 soon. I know lots of people have kids later these days, including lots of my friends and my own parents, but for me I just wanted to be done by my mid 30s and time is running out! Im a planner! I really hope it's worked this month so I can just stop with the obsessing and uncertainty. I think we are all in a similar boat though!
Ttc, I feel the same way, I wanted to be done having kids young, before 35 for sure. Maybe even before 30. Sadly that didn't work out though it's really my own fault.
Girlie, I got my first positive OPK on NYE so you are 9dpo like me most likely. Unless you know you usually O 2 days after your first positive?
purple, cystic acne is awful (I had about as an adult), how awful to have it for so long. I understand totally about your preferences as when to give birth. I hope the Met helps! What star signs are your boys?
Nann, until you have flow it's not totally over. And I still don't trust those strips.
Yeah full flow in affect today. Back to cd1 lol
Hugs Nann.
Guess the hormones are still in my system

It can take a bit for it all to leave your system (((HUGS))) I'm sorry you are even having to worry about this stuff :,(Quote:

tfahn, I hope your levels fade quickly.
9 DPO is still early. You aren't out yet! FX for tomorrow!Quote:

Thanks. I just hate that I don't even get evaps. I am just not a good urine tester. I definitely won't test for a couple days if at all.
