Just to chime in here.. we tried TTC our last daughter for 7 months before getting pregnant. Then miscarried at 20 weeks in June. We've been TTC ever since. That's 6 months. I've moved onto ivf now but I just wanted to say .. this whole TTC a girl thing takes a while for Sure! It can be so frustrating.Quote:

Mummy, so happy for you girl!! Praying for a healthy 9 months!! And that you get your girl!
Update on me: still waiting to O... My temps are still unusually high pre O temps. I took a hpt test yesterday morning just to make sure my 3 day light period was in fact, AF. It was negative... just trying to make sense of these temps. [emoji848] I'm using OPKs twice daily... wondfos are still very light, and Clearblue advanced have been blinking the smiley face for 4 and a half days.
During my first round of Clomid last month, I had a ton of side effects and this time I took Clomid earlier in my cycle and haven't had many side effects at all. I've had just slight cramping maybe the past day or so. Hoping O day comes this cycle! I've been staying on the E4D schedule.

Im just cd8 and already have signs of ovulation (normally cd20), now im sure i had chemical last month, my cycle is strange:worry:
I'm CD 12 and my ovulation test this morning was just about positive. I'm guessing I'll ovulate tomorrow or this evening.Quote:

I’ve scrapped opks just doing e4d now, don’t need the stress of guessing!
I’m on cd15 opks getting darker and not sure when I’ll o. Hopefully in the next few days... wait n see game.
This is my last month for OPK and then we are going to do E4D if no success this month. It's too time consuming (for me) and I can't keep track of charting as I hoped. So I'm hoping I get it this month.Quote:

Yes my diet is not like it was to begin. Been a few sleeks since I’ve worked out, I still do coffee and skip breakfast. I try to avoid meat but still eat a few times a week. So we will see what plays out.
Agreed. I slid a little during the holidays, then had illness that set me back. But still tons of coffee, no breakfast, I gave up working out because my son just didn't do well in the daycare and it's too cold to run outside, I mostly avoid meat but have had it when at a friend's house or had family over.Quote:

I've gotten less strict too :( :( Had some definitely not good days over the holidays and the no snacking thing has become harder. I've been swaying almost 10 months now (with a few weeks off after each of my two BFPs) and I just can't stay as strict anymore. Plus I've lost over 50 lbs and can't lose a whole lot more. Although I don't feel too terrible about it... I feel like the cheats over the past month are probably not enough to undo the prior 9 months of hard work, I know my blood sugar levels have improved a lot b/c it's become easier for me to lose weight now than it was before, and b/c I know I've depleted myself so much nutrient-wise & I've had two miscarriages, I kinda feel like maybe my body needs a bit more right now to get and stay pregnant. Ugh - we'll see though.... Still doing coffee, alcohol, exercise (though not quite as much), and Clomid. This whole process has definitely taken so much longer than I thought it would.
BUT - I've also seen Atomic say on here more than once that she's seen the more relaxed sways sometimes be more successful than the super strict ones... maybe because those relaxed swayers aren't being all sway-obsessed (which sways boy!). So maybe our being more relaxed will actually help us all out in the end. And I know Pbn had basically stopped swaying completely when she got pregnant with her new baby girl!! So there is always hope!!
Star that's odd that with your CM pattern and the 4 days of flashing smileys you haven't gotten a +OPK yet. Hoping you get a solid smiley tomorrow!! Are you still having CM?Quote:

I'm going on day 6 of flashing smileys and my FF app is giving me weird interpretations based on my past cycles in comparison to this one.Quote:

Eighme sorry about DS not doing well at daycare, what happened? I’m thinking of taking DD to daycare in a couple months and already anxious about it. She’s so clingy! Leaving her for couple secs and it’s a whole fiasco.🤪 Don’t know how I’ll cope.Quote:

They had suckers at the front desk and he was allowed to have one, once, in daycare (They typically don't allow it) and that seems to be the straw the broke the camels back. He screamed and cried every time I dropped him off and often had to come get me [emoji58].Quote:

I think you're absolutely right. I've been on if since October so I need to be a little more strict, but I stopped obsessing because it wasn't doing anyone any good with me fretting over everything.Quote:

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Eighme that’s one strong willed lad you have there. Has to have what he wants. Hopefully all goes well trying to get him back. In the meantime I’ll brace myself for worst case scenario with DD.
Star I wouldn’t worry to much, I oed cd21 last month because I started swaying or something went crazy. I’d stick to the cheapie opks. They seem more reliable right now. Looking at them, they’re not as dark/darker than test line yet. I’ve seen some say (online) they got the solid smiley sometimes after 6-8 flashing ones. It’s great that you have the other 2 (bbt and digis) to fall back on for confirmation. (Me channeling my pbn3.How did I do? [emoji39][emoji4][emoji4])
You did fabulous channeling Pbn!Quote:

Lol you did great! Thanks... it's reassuring me some that you've O'd late before! When I click 'charts like mine' in Fertility Friend, it shows annaovulatory charts. =/ if I don't happy to O by the time AF is due, I'm going to call my doc.

Star usually when I’m nervous about something, or it’s weighing on me... I just ask myself what the worst case scenario is. Most times I end up realising its never that serious.[emoji6]
Right now, WCS is that you don’t o this cycle. It could mean that your body is getting used to the clomid and might take a cycle or 2 to settle down.
Just take it one day at a time. The great thing is there’s progression with your IC opks!! Mine last month I seriously thought I’d oed cd 8, 14, 17, 19,20 and 21! Lol I diagnosed myself in one thread to atomic saying I have PCOS, how should I sway. Made an appointment with GP for a cd21 blood (which I keep postponing). Luckily I was temping and only the rise confirmed I had truly oed cd21. By the time AF came, most people were anxiously waiting for a BFP while I was relieved it had showed.
My point really is calm down, it could just be this cycle or your body is taking a while to prepare. Stress won’t help the situation. I know how you feel. Relax girl. [emoji6]
Thanks love!! I really appreciate all you girls support. This past year and a half ttc has been a whirlwind of emotions. You're exactly right. WCS is that I don't O.... it's not the end of the world. I just need to breathe and let it be. Thank you again <3 xoxoQuote:

No worries star. [emoji6]I love the support here as well. Especially because apart from DH no one else knows I’m ttcing irl. We all need a place to vent and offload the pressure. Xx
All the best everyone.
So, I tried charting temps. But I have a toddler whose in and out of my bed first thing in the morning and I often find myself forgetting. So this hasn't helped me at all (my fault)
So, I took two OPKs yesterday, in the afternoon, one was almost positive but not quite, the second was lighter. I tested today and it's even lighter. Would you keep testing ( I'm going to test this evening) or go ahead and make an attempt as I'm "predicted" to ovulate today tomorrow.
This may not be a very answerable question. Just wanted some input from you lovely ladies.

Is your doc doing a follicle ultrasound or 21 day progesterone test this cycle to confirm if you've ovulated?Quote:

If it was almost positive and now getting lighter I would probably get an attempt in asap. When I used the manual opk's I never got a line that was darker than the control line, even though I was ovulating. It would be almost as dark, but then start getting lighter. As such I gave up with those and switched to digital.Quote:

I got a line darker than the control last time. It could be that you ovulate later. Like ABC says though, if its getting lighter then maybe an attempt wouldn’t hurt. If it gets darker later, no harm, you’ll have another attempt.
Do you do the 3 hour pee hold before you test Eighme? I think Pbn3 mentioned testing between 1-3pm is optimal time in the morns.
I think I'll go ahead and attempt. If it gets darker, I'll just attempt again like you said. I do! I started once I saw Pbn mention that.Quote:

No he hasn't done a progesterone test on me... he set up a ultrasound for the 27th of this month and did one last month too. He doesn't really monitor me.Quote:

I’m cd16 Eighme and so far opks just getting darker but not at peak yet. I’m guessing I have a couple more days. I prefer this wait to the 2ww tbh.
Me too! I'm so more relaxed during this wait period than the 2ww. That one drives me crazy!Quote:

Oh, I need to talk! I learned that one of my best friends is having triplets (one identical pair) after several years of trying. I'm so happy for her, but I was a bit sad, since I've lost my identical twins and can't get pregnant for some reason, and today i was convinced that this cycle was also unsuccessful, although I was cramping for several days, but thought probably it's similar to pre af, and a little bit of discharge I got looked also similar to last cycle. Anyway, I just now tested with cheapie, and I think I see something, it's just my eyes are also inflammated and I wonder if it's true, or it just seems to me, it's barely there. And now I have a cup of coffee in front of me and not sure if I should drink it (I only drank it to sway), and I have to use antibiotics drops in my eyes for a couple of days, and also my cramping is pretty strong, is it normal? Sorry for rant.
I took a photo, but I can't see anything there. Ah, have to wait I guess.
