Hi Ladies, I am 6DPO and waiting. Feeling totally the same as I do at this time in my cycle. I secretly hope for a BFP but I think my sway was terrible. I think I might have killed the sperm with SO much lime juice. :)

Hi BabyCakes. I am 9DPO and also wishing for a BFP, im going to do a test tomorrow, i know its early but i am just curious. I felt cramps on 5DPO and my toothpaste tastes like pepper. Hope your sway worked out for you, i'm going to cross fingers for both of us :)
Hi Ladies! I'm only 2 dpo but I'm in the same boat as BabyCakes...I think I killed all of the sperm with lime. I practically didn't sway but had a few things in my favor. Last minute O+12 try and didn't really know how much lime to use. I'm secretly hoping for a bfp too but it's not very likely. I've been unusually crampy though.
Good luck to you both!
@Cinss - toothpaste tastes like pepper? That is so weird, but a good sign I should think! :) GL!
Hi Ladies, how is it going?
I did a PT test today -10DPO and as expected a BFN. I felt quite disheartened- like its never going to happen and although I know its still early, I sort of feel if it was + it would have showed. Anyway- wondering how you guys are doing...
Awe, I'm sorry...hopefully soon! FX
I had some spotting today...not much and I'm probably reading too much into it. I've never followed this closely before. Only 4 dpo now. AF id due 5/17.
I'm 7-8 DPO! I will probably test Friday even though it will be very early. I swayed partially. If I get a BFP I'll post my sway :) I don't have any symptoms, but had some light cramping that may have been implantation cramps. Waiting is so hard!! Wouldn't it be great if we all got BFP's this cycle ;) Good luck ladies! I'm rooting for all of us!!!
Yay! Can't wait to hear Chunky Monkey! My "sway" attempt was quite pathetic too. I hope I get to hear about yours...for many reasons, :)
Hi Ladies,
Tested today and I suppose the evap line- right? Don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me but felt a bit nauseas today, had light cramps and very tired... but who knows? Can you even see a faint line? your thoughts?
Attachment 288
BabyCakes - i see 2 lines there!!! I did a test yesterday and got a BFN, my AF is due today, but no sign of it yet. Looks like you use the same test strip as me, and mine definatly didnt look like yours, i think a congratulations is in order... so happy 4 u.
I see 2 lines! :) Are you goint to test tomorrow too? Let us know!!!
I want to hear more about your sway!!! Get it ready.... :)
Babycakes that looks like a BFP to me!!!! Congratulations! If you test tomorrow, it may be a little darker. H & H 9 months to you!
Hi All, Thanks so much for the encouragement... I really appreciate it. I dont know what to think actually because i tested this morning again and it also looked like a BFN- I am 11DPO. Then 15mins later I saw the same very very very faint line. I feel like I am loosing my mind- I was so sure I was out.... then a ray of hope.... now because the line didnt get darker at all- i think BFN... Iwill update you all tomorrow and will give full sway details whenever I get that miracle BFP
I hate to say it but I don't think that those type of tests are that reliable....meaning I have taken that same kind an it was negative then gone to Walmart and bought a generic test and it was positive with even more diluted pee! Even the dollar store ones are more reliable for me.
Good luck!
thanks for that! It makes me feel more hopeful! :)
Just waiting till 2moro....... Had a few noticeable symptoms yesterday- tired, light cramping, light nausea and today felt great with very light cramping- and nothing else!! Then you think- am I making this up? Am I wanting this so much I am imagining things? hopefully good news tomorrow...but not confident at all. xoxoxoxoox
This is the 11DPO potential evap line....
I still see it! :)
Plus, with my bfp's with all 3 boys the line came up right away! Like 5 days before AF was due. And with my DD I barely got a faint line when AF was 5 days late. Just FYI.
Hi Cinss, Did AF arrive? Please update....Quote:

Long story short....Trying for our final child (a girl) in July of this year originally. Haven't had a cycle in nearly 11 months- since my DS3 was born. Started taking vitex to bring cycle back...6 days ago(7 days after coming off vitex for my 2 week break) the opk's suddenly changed and I think I ovulated on Tues evening/Wed am of this week. Well....we had unprotected sex on Sat/early Sun!!!! UGH. I conceived all my boys on the first try so I'm a little worried....I really wanted to have a better sway as I did nothing at all this month :( Anyway, I'm most likely 2dpo right now.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello!! Good luck to everyone!
xo
babycakes--I see two lines!!! Congratulations! Please update us!!!
[QUOTE=BabyCakes;33620]Hi Cinss, Did AF arrive? Please update....
Hey BabyCakes... :sad: yes AF started today... back to the drawing board for me i guess. I never saw 2 lines on my PTs, even looking at them hours later, so i really think you are in with a great chance. :fx:
Hey Ladies,
Thanks Glittergirl, Fivebabies... appreciate your comments :)
Cinss, sorry she arrived... I hope next month is a great sway and she stays away! FX
Welcome DoulaMama- wow! that was a whoops! but maybe a great thing!
Will update you all with whats going on. Same very very very faint line today- so faint I cant even tell if its there or not. But moving towards being more hopeful ... I am 12DPO today so getting close to AF.
xoxoxoxo Dust to all
Jenni
Hi Ladies,
Its very very faint. But I bought another test and its a BFP- also barely visible until test dries. Very excited!! I will update with a pic soon :)
Thank you for your interest in me and sharing in this experience. Keep me posted on your sways.
xoxoxox
Line became much darker when test had dried- originally- it looked VERY faint.
Wow babycakes that is fantastic. congratulations. H & H 9 months.
i am about 3 dpo so ive been following this thread and your story - how exciting
Babycakes- what was your sway please?
congratulations babycakes!
Yay! Congrats!!!! Yes, please post your sway!
Well, I'm 8 dpo. Had a tiny bit of dark red spotting on 4/5 dpo, can't remember exactly. But I've never had that before that I noticed. Have a "heavy" feeling in my uterus and no signs of AF yet. I usually have an achy back pretty bad by now. AF is due Tuesday. I need to go get some hpts. :)
How is everyone else?
I'm about 4dpo today:) YAY! Cycle buddies!! LOL!Quote:

Swaying Attempt - Natural, EGS (TBM, SU, GDC, MSU), High Tech (IUI, IUI/MS), details? :TBM
DH had not DTD in anyway :bigsmile: for 4 weeks.
Gave the sample and I added lime (too much) PH 2
Inserted very slowly with massive syringe
Then I thought I killed all the sperm so I asked for a second sample half hr later
Added less lime –PH 4
Inserted and lay with hips up for 10 mins
PH:
CM Ph: 5 ---brought it down with lime douche 4.5
DH Ph: 9 + ----brought it down to 4 with lime juice
(added 19 drops of lime to the sample)
Douche type and when Lime: 1hr before BD
Lime Tampon:
Yes: 2 hrs after BD- for the whole night
Next Day: tested PH and it was low but was leaving the house at midday- so another lime tampon for several hours. (Don’t recommend this but didn’t have Rephresh or Replens so didn’t know how to prevent PH spike… and O wasn’t confirmed!
Big O: No
MINERALS:
Calcium Citrate 1200mg
Magnesium 300mg
Potassium Avoided
Sodium Avoided
DIET
Dietary Changes Low salt, low caffeine, lots of milk, no potatoes, no tomatoes, lots of green beans, chicken. Ate a lot of bread, cheese. Peanut butter, smoked salmon and medium amt of chocolate. I ate breakfast everyday and did not reduce calories. I definitely made a lot of changes but I usually ate the boy diet only – so was a BIG change :think:
Did you continue diet after attempt/ how long?
Avoided ‘boy’ foods and tried to eat ‘girl’ foods but not meticulously.
Caffeine:
3 decaf coffees per day and coke zero (caffeine free) 1 a day and sometimes a regular diet coke :worry:
DH caffeine:
No coffee, few soft drinks
HORMONES
Drinks: None
Supplements: None
SUPPLEMENTS:bigsmile:
Cranberry: 1800mg daily
Vitamin C: 500mg
Sudafed: 1 hr before and 14hrs later 1 more because was trying for 0+12 but had no idea when O was- so to reduce CM
Others: Preg Vite 5, includes folic acid
DH supps: :bigsmile:
Cranberry: 1200mg
Magnesium: 300mg
Calcium: 1200mg
Vitamin C: (when I made him)
TIMING: :worry: Not sure because.....
Was aiming for a O+12 but didn't know if my OPK was positive or not (looked weird as test line was darker on one side of the line-) and was having a lot of EW CM so assumed was O-ing and then waited for cloudy CM – and closed cervix – BUT was super confused and had missed the whole fertile window last month so just did it!
BD cutoff (# of days): :worry:
Fertilityfriend said 2 days (cutoff) but I am not sure because I had very little sleep during these 2 days and I don’t know that my morning BBT was accurate.
Chart attached below if its easier to see in graph form
BD thru O: NO
O+12 Tried but -not sure exact timing
Frequent BD/how many days: Once
Charting O with Temp: Yes
I am up frequently up in the night and therefore my temps may be more erratic than if I had regular sleep over the week.
Charting O with OPK :think:
Yes- testing twice daily. Once at 11am and then at 10pm-
+OPK on CD 25 morning
- OPK on CD 26
BD on CD 25 evening- trying for O+12
BUT
BBT only rose on CD 28 therefore O on chart = CD 27 (with a –OPK test)
Point: Confused by conflicting information!
Fertility monitor used/type: None
Suspected O date CD27 = 2nd May 2011
IONS :bigsmile:
Oed in what moon phase: New moon scheduled for May 3. O’ed 1 day before (or 3)
Changed ions in other ways?:
Bought lavender soap, lavender room refresher, was April so more –Ions
OTHER:
How many kids do you have? : 1
What gender(s)?: Boy
# of months TTC: 2 (But last month- missed fertile window) so 1st real attempt
Your Age: 31
BD position: TBM- lying down 20mins- hips raised
Jump and dump: No
EWCM present/how much?: :bigsmile:
Yes- but cloudy in colour – douched to wash it away- was a lot though.
DH undies type: Boxers:worry:
DH hot bath/shower::bigsmile:
Yes- 1 hr before BD- very hot- he said I was singeing his nuts!
OWT - anything under bed?:
I thought this was sweet but I felt guilty incase it was a little guy. So, nothing under bed.

Well, I'm 12 dpo and had a bfn this morning. Weird. No sign of AF yet and it was due on Tuesday, 2 days ago. Just waiting.
Still a chance then :)
AF showed up today......6 days late! Grr.. Oh well, it was a crappy sway anyways. :)
AAAAhhh.....Well .. hope sway next month goes very well and a BFP to top it off! GL
I know I'm not a part of this but came upon it and I got chills! Congrats! how long have you been swaying and attempting? Us ttc boy's haven't had much luck with the BFP's so I'm very excited.Quote:
