My Ovulation Chart
Hi all. I m still keeping a little busy but can't help coming here to take a peak at the updates. Pls don't think that I come and don't say anything. I hope dd gets all better so that I get to be more chatty. [emoji51]
Lollabelle - Your boys look so adorable in the matching outfit. Love the shirts. [emoji11] I m also going to
Hold off on POAS and no symptoms here too yet.
Ash - It's so awesome that u and dh talk about this and have planned to test when together. How sweet is that. Wish u get your bfp and sweet little girl soon. Fx
Pbn - I am crossing everything for a bfp this cycle for u. And I like what Ash said. My dh is so irresponsible and always want to skip the getting condom part. If it were not for me, I would have bn a mommy to several kids by now. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] So, I like the idea of condom. What do u say?
Sumbal- Hang in there. I know what U mean. I am praying for a boy myself. Fx we get our little blue bundles.
Iwant4kids- You are in my thoughts and prayers. You have been through so much the past 6 weeks. Praying for a healthy little bean in there so bad. Hugs.

Lola so cute! It looks like where we use to be in Louisiana with the mossy trees

Ash-probably similar scenery! We're in South Carolina with mossy trees, palmetto trees, plantations, beaches, and swamps. Love it! :)
My Ovulation Chart
Hi all! I know I've been pretty quite 😕 I'm just feeling abit down about knowing this time next week I'll be saying goodbye to my baby goods :( it's been such a long road (2 years next month) and on one hand I cant wait to take this final step of acceptance (removing all my baby stuff) but on the other I'm absolutely dreading letting it go and I already know I'll be sobbing away as I clean it up to let it go. So on a bit of a rollercoaster at the moment feeling wise. I have no hope in me that I could possibly get a bfp even though I know realistically there's a small chance. It just feels like I'm waiting to confirm what I already know. I actually wish in a way that we hadn't bded and I didn't o early as now instead of being well into a not ttc, moving on cycle I'm here again unintentionally and it's hard on the heart you know?? I'll be testing Thursday morning which will be 10dpo with the one frer I have left. I have weaned off the aspirin and will only take folic acid until bfn is confirmed. It sucks, I've said this so many times in so many 2ww threads but I just wish me and dh had met earlier in our lives or even started having children earlier. But it is what it is and I'm so very grateful I have my boys ❤ maybe I'm abit down to because my husbands cousin has accidently fallen pregnant and is now 18 weeks (they were using condoms and one must have broke smh at the luck of some people) of course she is having a boy (her first was a girl) and her sister also has a pp. I just wonder sometimes why oh why couldn't it be me that got a sticky bean, then I get cranky at myself because I have a wonderful life with a wonderful husband and two of the most loving beautiful boys I could ask for. Sorry for rambling on :( as I said I'm abit all over the place atm 😂
So anyway I've been thinking about something since Easter. In Australia there's a voluntary helpline called Sands and it offers support and someone to talk to when they've gone/going through a miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death. I've been seriously considering signing up as a volunteer for the miscarriage side of things (it's all done by phone) but I think you have to be well past your last miscarriage to do so understandably. To me it would be a good, positive end result of a horrible, devasting event/year. And the healing may work both ways iykwim? By helping someone you help yourself does that make sense?
Sky how is dd going? Is she recovering well? Thinking of you xxoo
Lola, your boys are adorable! Love the outfits.
Sky, hope your dd is better soon. Ash, testing together sounds perfect. Fingers crossed!
Pbn, it sounds like you've had a long 2 years, I'm really hoping you get lucky this month. Hope I've not missed anyone!
I have af in full flow cd2 so new cycle for me. Dh is also now saying he doesn't want another. We keep going through this where he says definitely no and then changes his mind. Trying to get him to understand how important it is to me but he can think of so many reasons not to have another.
Will be watching for your updates girls, fingers crossed 🤞
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8
Pbn - First of all a big giant hug to you. I m so glad that u spoke your heart out here. You are such a strong
person. Always cheering everyone on and spreading positivity. You truly have a gift and helping others sounds like such a great thing to do. I'd say go for it.
Secondly,My heart breaks knowing about your journey and u deciding to make peace with it and not trying anymore. I honestly feel with all my heart that once u stop taking medicine and not actively trying, there may be a miracle waiting to happen. I truly believe it. If I were to give u any suggestion, it would be NTNP. Don't expect anything and just see what happens. I know 2 years is a long time. But who put a time limit on chasing your dreams. I don't want to overstep but I wish I could convince u to talk to dh for NTNP before u take out the baby stuff. I hope u would think about it before taking a decision.
And then whatever u decide, please know that we all are here for you. I apologize if I have written anything which isn't appropriate. I am a highly emotional person and often do get carried away. Love!

Mummy2boys - Sorry about the af. I know how hard it is when dh is not sure and keeps changing his mind. We are late in trying due to the same reason. Hope he comes on board soon. Fx for the new cycle.
Pbn - She is recovering slowly. Thanks for asking.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Thank you so much skyblue ❤ dh is definitely ready to move on and he has given me a wonderful gift by giving me these last two years ttc. For me and my anal 😂 personality its always been all or nothing so I'm determined more than ever to just get the horrible part of letting go of baby stuff over and done with and not have that visual reminder. I WILL be ok and that's the main thing and its not a spur of the moment decision, its been in the works a long time 😊 You never do know what the future holds and one day I may just make a 'suprise bfp' visit but I highly doubt it 😊
I hear you. I hope with all my heart that u get a surprise bfp
this month. I m going to
hold on to that until Wednesday.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Mummy2boys I'm sorry af arrived :( here's hoping next cycle is the one! As for dh I'd just keep initiating bd's when the time comes and not even talk about lol! He knows how babies are made so as long as he is willing to dtd unprotected I'd say keep on on keeping on xx
Just had a quick look at your chart mummy2boys. Is a 9 day lp usual for you? And what cd are you starting opks? Just asking as the le diet can definitely affect your cycles both when you ovulate and your lp. Will be interesting to see when you o this cycle. I'd start testing at cd10 in case of an earlier o... and keep an eye on your lp, if it continues to be 9 days there are things you can do to try and increase it but don't worry about it just yet (could be a one off) unless it happens a few times then maybe create a thread asking how to increase it naturally :)
Thank you everyone here who encouraged me..
Pbn. You are such a great person who is helping and motivating everyone. Soon your time ll come with lots of happiness. I wish you get your bfp asap with bundle of happiness. Just leave everything on nature and live happily without any fear. Then nature ll bless you automatically. Lots of love for you. When I w as reading your message. I literally had tears in my eyes. I wah I could hug you.
Thank you for your lovely message sumbal ❤
Thanks pbn and sky. And also fingers crossed for you sumbal, sorry missed you off my earlier post.
Yes we will carry on bd without protection but unfortunately my dh is very good at 'getting out on time' if you know what I mean [emoji23][emoji23]
My lp has been 9 or 10 days since I started checking, I never used opks or anything with my two boys, they were both very quick conceptions. I wondered about whether 9 or 10 days was too short, have you any advice about how to lengthen it? x
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4216d8
Morning everyone!
Mummy-sorry about AF ugh! How long have you been ttc? As everyone always mentions here...just have to remind ourselves that if it's taking us longer to get our girls-then we're doing a good sway!
Maxim-what is the latest? Have you O'd yet?
Iwant4-I have been praying for you everyday! I know this wait has to be soooo hard! Hope you're staying distracted with your boys & painting those beautiful wooden dolls!! :)
Sumbal-do you have your tests ready?? Funny how much you want your boy & I want my girl so bad! Fx we get what we want!!!
Netti-are you still here? Thinking about ya!
Ash-how are you this AM? Staying distracted? Counting down to POAS! So excited for all of us to test at the same time! Anymore dress shopping? Lol! There were twin girls at the bday party yesterday...makes my heart just melt. They are my sis-in-law's family & I have heard they did IVF.
Sky-I second everything you said to pbn! Literally the perfect, beautifully written words! Hope DD is feeling better!
Pbn-I'm sorry you're feeling down :( Getting rid of the baby stuff sounds so final & I know how emotional that would be! It would be symbolic of helping you close that chapter though & you may feel relieved being able to devote your time to things you enjoy! Volunteering sounds like the perfect opportunity for you!!!! No doubt you would be amazing at helping others as you are such an awesome support here!!! You have sooo much knowledge & experience!!! Please don't leave us though wahhh :( Hope you get your miracle slip AND volunteer!! Sooo this is probably a backwards thought, but what if you take charge of the condoms & put a tiny pinhole so oops, condom broke lol ;) And well if you got rid of everything, you'll just have to go shopping...hand on over the credit card DH...and you probably would have to shop anyway for a girl!!! Hahaha ;P I know exactly how you feel though! I have 2 beautiful boys, a loving DH, sweetest dog, love the city we live in, great job, awesome family etc. To others it may look like we have everything and we do, but won't feel complete yet until I have my girl! It would feel like winning the lottery!!! As you mentioned...I see others around me getting their DG...no reason that can't be me too! I just try my best to stay positive & tell myself that anything is possible!!!!!!!
My Ovulation Chart
Pbn. For you lots of prayers and love.
Mummy 2: sure. We all are going to test soon. I am also new who checked OPK and I am shocked that ovulate so early on CD 9. I am also worried because some where I read that early ovulation means immature egg. So anything can be possible. But good news for you is at least that egg would be mature. Best of luck.
Lolla: I am desperately waiting to be mother of a son. Hope you get you girl offcorse girls are best friends of mother.
Ash: what about your tests? OPK tests. What results are coming? Hope to hear positive from you also.
Best of luck everyone.
Pbn that's so tough! Me and hubby talked about more when we only had two and he was done done. And I'd dwell on it every so often for a couple years and when I finally started working out and looking great I decided no more kids was fine so I wouldn't gain it all back. And once I was at acceptance of being done. BAM here came #3 lol. So if no one if fixed there is always that chance. But I think you'd be fantastic on a helpline even if you get a baby this cycle!
Mummy af stinks but your sway will be that much stronger next cycle GL!!
Sky glad dd is feeling better. I have one that came down with sickness today ☹️
WEDNESDAY TEST DAY is getting so close ladies!!
Lola I feel nauseous sore bbs and embarrassingly gas [emoji40] headaches last couple days but then again this is all af symptoms! No shopping to pass the time today I have one that's started vomiting this am so now my nausea makes me doubt it's anything to do with pregnancy. If everyone is well though I'll be going shopping Tuesday to pass the day faster!
Sumbal opks are the same everyday no fade in yet but it does help pass my POAS addiction and maybe if I get a darker opk tomorrow I'll talk hubs into testing at 9dpo otherwise I may as well wait till 10.
I think Wednesday I am going to test and post before I look at any updates because I'll feel so bad if I get a bfp an Lola or sky doesn't! I don't mind if you gals get bfp and I don't lol but I'm a people pleaser I don't want anyone to be [emoji24]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Ash-I will be happy for any of you with BFPs even if I don't get one...so please don't feel bad & post away!!! Someone needs a BFP, preferably all of us!! I'm not expecting one...haven't noticed any signs & my hope and expectations seem to decrease with each new cycle!! Trying so hard to think positive, but hard to stop my mind from thinking about everything that bothers me!!!
I can't believe we are almost there...almost testing time...the moment of truth eeeeek! Fx for lots of BFPs!!!!
My Ovulation Chart
Ash - Sorry about DS throwing up. Hope he feels better soon. That's so sweet of you to think about us but I m sure we will be equally thrilled if any of us gets a bfp. That's the kind of bond we have made here so post away. [emoji11][emoji11]We will know that we will be there soon. It will encourage us. I am not going to get disappointment take over me ttc this time. I cried my eyes out with dd every month when af showed up. I have great support here this time and I am thankful. Fx for
all of us.
I have no symptoms what so ever. I never did with dd too. We will see. Two of my friends just posted about their having a baby and no one knew that they were expecting and ofcourse they both had boys. They are not
Super close friends so I m ok with them
Keeping it a secret but my heart aches for a boy and wishes to see myself at that point soon. [emoji51][emoji51][emoji51][emoji51]
This is so brutal that all of my fb friends are having babies and it's a boy after the first girl. 🤣🤣
I am not trying to be mean. I am really happy for them n hoping to join them
but the timing!!!!!!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Skyblue I am in same situation as you. While reading your message I felt these are my words. Hope we both get little man.
Ash. Keep testing. And keep updating.
Lolla: best of luck. 3 more days to go.
Sky I know what you mean I literally just pulled out of the drive delivering a baby girl quilt I made for a friend who is having a girl after her first boy! How do they get so lucky! Glad we all support each other enough to be ok with each others bfps I do know if I get one I'll be coming back here often!
I have been so super dizzy today, bawling like a baby in church, and having hot flashes!! Chalking it up to sickness but we always have family lunch and I went with the 3 kids who aren't sick and had another hot flash while eating and my grandma seriously made the comment "you had one in church to are you pregnant!" Lol and my mom just looked at me.... she's the only one I've told. I'm so scared to see a bfn and get the realization this is all in my head [emoji20].
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
What's everyone's take on ibuprofen? I don't have any Tylenol and asprin just doesn't seem safe to take a hand full. My head is killing me and wondering if this has something to do with the dizzy
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Ash I would say a big no ibuprofen sorry :( too risky if you are pregnant. Paracetamol is the only safe thing I know of. By the way you're symptoms sound so promising 😀
Thank you all for the supportive messages xxoo
Maxim I second everything Lola said. Update us when you can xxoo
Ash - Hope u feel better and the sickness is making me so excited. [emoji4]
Fx fx fx. Isn't there a way to get Tylenol?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
How are you feeling sky? Any symptoms to report?
Nop. I m so useless in feeling signs. Be it opk of bfp[emoji854][emoji854][emoji854]. What about u?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Just af like cramps yesterday and still this morning. Don't usually get them this early. But no nothing else other than that.
Cramps are so good pbn. I can give a reason other than pregnancy for all my symptoms. Hubby is still sick and the stickiness is making him cough so then he takes NyQuil and passes out and snores. So my fatigue can be from not sleeping well. I always have hormonal migraines so that could be induced by sleep deprivation and the headache is causing dizziness and nausea. Let's see lol boobs not sure about them but they've seems to be sore all but a couple days after O maybe it's from me smashing them like potatoes every second to see if they're sore [emoji23][emoji23].
Max you should be past cd17 right? Maybe I'll try n find a chart lol
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Found one Max lol how are you feeling? Anything? [emoji51]
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Signs look promising u guys. Fx.
How abt u Lolla?
Max - What's happening?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
Hi ladies!! Insane weekend, haven't had a lot of time to read through the posts. I'll log in after I get the girls down and catch up... been meaning to post this all weekend but haven't had a second. Can you please give me your opinions on my opk's and charts. My opk's have been getting lighter, but my temps are pretty stable so I don't think I've O'd yet. However, yesterday I happened to check CP and it was suuuper high (could barely feel it), and today it's super low and firm. Could I have O'd and not known? Boobs are super sensitive and still having cramps. Very, very confusing!!

Max - Have u thought about using the digital ones? I ordered from eBay and have always managed to get a good deal. It takes the guessing out of the equation and if u use the pink one, then u won't have to stick to a time as u can use that anytime. The one which gives a solid smiley only. I am not sure if u have used it in the last two cycles. Just wanted to check.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6513f2
I'm no pbn but my guess is if your 13 was a positive for you then I think you Od on cd16 since your temps went up on 17
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Which would give you two attempts and a perfectly timed one on cd15
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Pbn do you make anything special out of my chart? I so badly badly want to start poas tomorrow!! I know I'll regret it if I do but my anxiousness is getting out of hand lol my heart is constantly pounding
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Hi Ladies, I'm new and have been lurking quietly for the last 2 months. My background is that I had a heterotopic in August 2016 along with a bad car accident that may have been the cause of the second embryo loss; not really sure. Anyhow, we're trying for our 3rd and final family member. We're currently blessed with 2 dudes. Born 2005 and 2009. DH is 39 (40 in just a month), I'm 37. Praying for a girl but mostly want a healthy baby to complete our family.
My last AF was April 10th so I'm in the 2WW. I've been swaying with a LE diet for 6 weeks now. I'm a total POAS freak! So trying my hardest to wait. It's so hard!
I love all the support you give one another; free of judgement and full of love. Looking forward to joining the next thread for May and hoping for my BFP this month. Cheers!
Hey there dreaming... so will you be added to the testing group on Wednesday?? We will officially have 4 if so!
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/23cbe8
Is there anything I need to do to be added to the test group?
I am currently 4DPO. I got my +OPK on CD 16 and think I O'd on CD 17 due to pain in the left side and subsequent cramping plus -OPK by end of day on CD 17. This O was a little late for me this month comparatively to the last 7 months. I'm trying to let it all go to the best of my ability but obviously that's not working since I'm finally chiming in here. Maybe it's just me trying to find another outlet rather than obsessing alone (or driving my DH insane)!
I use Kindara, btw, and track everything. This month I forgot my thermometer on a trip we took for 4 days which helped me throw a bit more caution to the wind.
