So I'm 7dpo today. I couldn't finish my coffee this morning, didn't taste nice! I usually can't function without it! Especially as it's technically my breakfast from the LE diet. Possibly wishful thinking but I went off tea/coffee with both pregnancies previously!
Where is everyone else in their cycle? Any symptoms?
Fingers and toes crossed for you Ugee :D
11dpo...bloated with gas, food cravings, tired...and that's it :))
Sounds very promising MyByC :)

Today AF should land...no symptom for it (yet)..still light brown spots sometimes at wiping..but not everytime(this holds since Saturday)...little worried but I really hope they are from implantation and not my "before" AF...😕
Just want to wait a few more days and test. I'm afraid of a negative...
Thanks ladies, congratulation Boysway was thrilled to see you got your BFP! MyByC my fingers are crossed this is your month!
Ugee I hope is OUR month!
Good luck to you and to everybody here that waits for a BFP!
Boysway, what symptoms you had until now?
That sounds promising MyByC!!
Ugee - ooh that sounds good. I hope this is it for you!
I'm only 2DPO today based on when I guess I O'd. I've convinced myself that I was pregnant before when were not even trying so I know how sneaky my AF symptoms can be, and obviously it is much too early to have any symptoms of anything anyway. We've got birthday parties on Fri and Sun that will involve drinking so I'll test on those days even though it will be super early just to feel comfortable drinking. We also have an event next Thursday so that will be when I test for real and hope hope hope to get a BFP! :)
MyByC, but aren't you on the LE diet to sway girl? I'm on the HE diet to sway boy. I would expect them to have opposite effects on cycle length.Quote:

Wishing everyone positive thoughts while we wait for our attempts or to test! FX!

Good Luck XXforhubby :)
Sage, I am on LE diet, yes. But I took Clomid which can have side effects especially for our mentrual cycle.
I always had a 27-28 cycle lent and O-ed in my 15-16-17 day.
With Clomid had a 27 cycle last month(but I did not attempt at all). This is my second Clomid month and today I'm 27 day..I really really hope AF will not come.
Junie, stay positive and just wait until 12-14 day to test so you dont have a negative..at least I cannot hold a negative...
XX, let's pray! ⭐️
Good luck to everyone else!
Hope we have a new day tomorrow with BFP and good symptoms for pregnancy 😁🎀
MyByC, my only symptoms are sore bbs, back ache, morning congestion and cramping.

I am trying not to get my hopes up too high. Nothing seems to help and it comes and goes...I keep telling myself it is just my body readjusting.

I had mild gender disappointment with ds1, severe with ds2. I really thought I had gotten to the point where I was almost over my gender desire and could be happy with a third boy, I'm already calling this baby my "third musketeer"
Then last night DH says he's so scared its a boy, that it would be so devastating for him, that he's not sure he'd have a third except he really wants a daughter. I feel like our roles have reversed, now I want a daughter just for him, so he won't go through the intense GD I went through...
Still no pregnancy symptoms for me--which I'm fine with!
That explains my screen name Carmella!! My husband was beyond disappointed at the gender ultrasound with DS2. Now, he has come to peace with having a third boy, because he sees how close our two boys are. Although, he is more than willingly to do what he can to sway girl! I used to only want boys but now after swaying I want a girl. I believe that we will get the baby we are supposed to have, boy or girl.
I hope we all get out BFPs and our baby bundle of our heart's desire! 😘💞

How funny how much our feelings can change :) My husband and I both didn't have GD with our 2 sons because I wanted a boy first and then I loved the idea of DS1 having a brother. Now I also love the idea of three brothers but I'll definitely feel some sadness at the idea of never experiencing a girl. DH doesn't really want a girl even now but doesn't mind that I am swaying and will love the baby no matter what. :)
I looked at my old charts on FF and looked at all my pregnancy symptoms and saw that with both boys I had BFPs by 10DPO so hopefully this time is no different :)
Is anyone thinking about/doing elective prenatal testing to find out gender? Are you doing Panorama, MatrniT21, verify or Harmony and why? I'm afraid it will be hard to talk my OB into doing it since I'm not high risk in any way, and I'm also afraid of the cost and dealing with insurance. Anyone have any insights?
I am doing it. MaterniT21 offer the VisibiliT test for Trisomy 18&21 and gender. It's 425 USD without coverage. I had to sorta lie to my midwife, told her I was concerned about Down's syndrome for personal reasons. Once I began exploring those feelings I realized, holy crap! What is my baby does have Down's syndrome? How will I deal with that? Having 3 kids will be hard enough and what if one is disabled? I would want to know that ASAP.
Seeing that I am paying for the test the company or my midwife didn't seem to care much about why I wanted it done.
I would love to but the cheapest test in Australia is the Harmony test which is $470.

Ladies, you are so lucky! Here the prices start from 700€(which is about 1000$?). I'm thinking in doing it anyway...I just hope..I hope AF will not come these days....😔
DH actually really wants one done because that has always been one of his largest fears and now that there are non-invasive tests I don't see any reason not to get it done. The only thing I'm worried about is convincing my doctor to do the test- I'm not even 30 yet and we live in Germany where things like that are frowned upon. But since we are paying for the test anyway I don't see why he wouldn't do it. My other fear is that it is now illegal here to tell the gender before 16 weeks. So I would hate to have the test done and then they refuse to tell me that part until 16 weeks... I would do the panorama test.
Carmella - my first instinct was to have the test done and pay out of pocket (I'm 30 with no risk factors so insurance won't cover it). However now that I'm pregnant again I'm starting to understand the sentiments of the team green ladies. I definitely won't wait until birth, but I'm considering waiting until 16-20 weeks just so I can keep the hope alive a little longer. We have a lot of vacations and parties and whatnot during the holidays and January and I hate to have GD and be depressed just because I found out too early.
That being said I live near family and I'll have to tell them about the pregnancy soon (the not drinking and I showed super early with my DS). I'm considering telling them in December that I had the blood test and it's a boy so they leave me alone and don't make my GD worse. They are all obsessed/convinced I'm having a girl and it's almost easier to just tell them I'm having a boy now while the hope is still alive so I'm not crying in front of them or anything. I'm 90% sure this is a boy anyways so I don't really feel like it's a big lie !
Sorry for the essay. I'd love to tell myself I'd be thrilled with 2 boys, but my DH is keen on only having 2 kids and the thought of never having a daughter is making me bummed out.
Bluebonnet- Having two boys is really lovely. There is just something special about that bond, and you never know DH might change his mind-mine did :) But I hope it ends up being a girl and it doesn't matter anyway!
I feel like I want to know ASAP so that when we tell ppl I am pregnant again we can tell them the sex ASAP so I won't have to listen to anybody go on and on about how wonderful a girl would be. My heart can't take it or my nerves and I fear I will throat punch the person that says this to me. Lol.
Although if it's a girl i think we will keep the secret and soak up all the moronic comments.
My insurance will pay for MaterniT test, but I think I will go with the standard and find out at 18-20 weeks. I don't start to show until then, and I can hide it with baggy, winter clothes. I am slowly integrating these clothes under the guise that I am cold, so when I need to hide the pregnancy it will be the height of winter.
I too want to announce we are pregnant when we know the gender. I want to delay telling people too, because I do not want to justify having more than two kids. Only a few family members on my husband's side have more than two. The ones with two or less kids somehow feel free to impart their beliefs on others 😡. My family is supportive and loves having babies regardless of gender.
I just have to get pregnant first! I have 7 days to AF with a nice long 13 LP this cycle. I will probably test in 8 days. I will know, because I usually have 3 days of spotting before AF starts. Both times I have been pregnant, I didn't have any spotting. I just pray this is my cycle!!
FX for all of us ladies!!

You can hide your pregnancy that long? I really want to but I am a stick and can't imagine I'll be able to keep it under wraps that long plus everyone will be guessing when I'm not drinking LOL I'm going to try though!
Let's hope this is your cycle!!! I did have spotting with one pregnancy (it started as a twin pregnancy which is why I think) so hopefully even if you do spot it only means baby is snuggling in!
I also want to keep the pregnancy a secret until I found out the gender...if our plans goes smooth, then we should know before Christmas or New Year. I'm 12dpo today..no AF yet...I'm waiting until Friday to test....
I want to keep the baby a secret till I can't hide it anymore lol! Although... I'm rubbish as people will probably guess by my huge grin! :-/
I'm so hungry today, the LE diet is not going very well this afternoon :( the cold weather always makes me want to eat stodgy high calorie food!
Junie- the no drinking gives me away every time!!!
I don't drink much so people are used to that. I am skinny too, 118lbs at 5 feet 4 inches tall- I have a deep pelvis. It takes forever for my retro-tilted uterus (it is tilted like a slide) to pop out. I can hide it with baggy clothes until 18-20 weeks. Even then, I just look like I have put on a few pounds and getting ready to start AF. After that though, look out! I look like I am farther along than I really am! Think beached whale 😄
