Aw Lola, I'm sorry for the bfn, maybe that will change in a day or two. Fwiw, in July I started testing early every day/two days and was so disappointed. And in August I swore I would not test til af was due and I got a bfp. With dd, I did not test until the night before af was due. I think early tests can be great but sometimes not--just because it is bfn at 9dpo doesn't mean it will stay that way! Fx!
We are getting tons of rain from the tropical storm here and I am laying around being so lazy and eating so much girl stuff! Oh my gosh, ice cream and shells and cheese and cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies.....I mean, the gender is set now, right? I am back to my old habits!

Daisy-I think I'm gonna do partial diet. Lemon water (acquired a taste for it believe it or not) and will eat healthy and keep up my blood sugar. Not gonna do the bs drink anymore. I still have a few cans of V8 left so I'll drink that leading up to O. Still have my supps too.
Lola-it's unbelievable how many women have chemicals and just don't know. It's scary for me though because I'm Rh negative and need the Rhogam shot after a mc. Though my doc said usually before 10 weeks you don't need it but he likes to give it anyway. I had found out I'm Rh- after my first mc at 6 weeks.
This TTC journey is such a roller coaster!

Alexis, do you need the rhogam shot to prevent a m/c? If so, why don't they just give it to you after a BFP? Why do you need it after the m/c?
Lola, test again in a few days (if you can wait!). Cramps are a good sign, right? FX for a BFP soon!!
Daisy, eat all the ice cream you want, you can't change the gender now! Dairy won't make a baby's willy fall off or anything! :wink:

Hobber-the Rhogam shot is for my negative blood type. My husband is positive blood type. So if the baby has a + blood, my body will react and try to attack the baby with the different blood types. The Rhogam shot is given to the mother at 28weeks gestation, after delivery, after a mc, and after any time the mother bleeds during pregnancy. If not given, miscarriage is a definite possibility. The shot prevents my body from becoming sensitized and attacking the baby. I hope I'm giving a clear description of this lol.

I'm just popping over here from the pink swayers to give my love to Alexis - I just heard the news, sweetie, and I'm so sorry! I hope you get your sticky blue bean really soon. :hug2:

Awww thanks so much Mocha!! <3 So much appreciated!

Alexis, my DD2 is negative, so that is good to know. Of course, I'm sure her doctor will tell her all this stuff when she is ttc someday, but my pediatrician did tell me about it also. She told me it's not a big deal, hope that is true for you! And you are so right about the chems. My doc told me like half end that way and a lot don't even know it.
So, another bfn today at 10dpo. I'm just not feeling it. I know it's still early, but I just don't feel like this is our month. Already looking ahead to next....I am going to have DH do the semen analysis...a wise friend who has been struggling longer than I told me I should go ahead and do it even though we know he's knocked me up a few times before (all to no avail though). I may take a month off the Clomid, whatever my doctor recommends. I'm just bummed and SO TIRED of this. Sorry to be such a bummer today.
-
And also wanted to add that I am dropping everything. I will still eat healthy and well and take prenatals, but no more supps. Maybe for DH if he needs them, but I just can't spend $100 a month on it anymore. I'm even thinking of not doing FF or tracking or anything anymore. I just want to try dtd every other day....maybe not even opks. I just need a break, but at my age I don't have that luxury. I know this is terribly unmotivational for you swayers to read, but you just can't do it forever. I really hope you all get a bfp way sooner than later!!!!

:hug2: Lola.
Of course I also feel like cussing bc I'm just so upset that this *might* not be your month ... I remember your 1st attempt back on IG and it just breaks my heart what this past year (and then some) has held for you on the TTC front.
I know your past BFPs came at 10dpo so this feels like a definite BFN, but we all know ... 10 dpo is still to early to call yourself out. So I'm going to hold a sliver of hope but I totally get why you're thinking of next month already.
I like the plan to drop the supps and go with a good ol' healthy diet, see what your doc says about clomid, and to go ahead with the SA. Y'all have talked about it for a while and if you're not going to pay for supps this month then the money can be used for that. I remember it isn't very expensive.
Ah Lola. Go ahead and vent away ... YOU aren't a bummer. This situation is a bummer. You are lovely. :kiss:
-
Thanks, B....I just feel like this is starting to make me crazy, ya know? I feel like my whole life is wrapped around this and I'm afraid I've lost a bit of myself. I don't even look the same, for crying out loud. Well, not much I can do but make a new strategy, I guess.....you made me feel a lot better though, thank you hun!!!!
