Hello ladies I'm starting this new thread for our hopeful bfp this New Year!
I'm anywhere from 7-9 dpo...not sure because it was my first month on Clomid. Fx for our bfp this month and for a healthy baby this year!!!
I'm 8dpo but for some reason got a dip in my basal temp (below cover line! ) which is making me nervous. Crossing fingers for BFP and Blue sway!!! So anxious!

9dpo today and have what I think maybe IB (I have been spotting since yesterday...like brown discharge and feeling bloated). Tested last night and today bfn.
How are all you ladies holding up?
I'm around 7/8dpo and thinking this might be it fingers crossed. I have been horribly horribly beyond anything ever normal for me cranky and just down right pissy. I'm starting fights with my hubby over nothing and just find everything irritating. Yesterday I started getting horrible leg cramps I got one in my calf the day before and yesterday got them in both calves and my thigh. Very out of the ordinary for me. I pounded water and even ate sweet potatoes for dinner in case it was potassium or dehydration but this morning the cramps have started up again. I've had a few waves of nausea but part of me thinks it's the crap food I've eating and my body not liking it.
The other thing I have noticed is I've become very gassy and constipated.
Fingers crossed this is it!
How is everyone else feeling?
Unfortunately, I had a 21 day cycle so I will be back very soon I can hardly wait!
Nausea, constipation and gassy were my signs with DS2..so this is a good thing FX that you get your bfp!!! Keep us updated.
Aww sorry to hear lovemy2! Does that mean you didn't ovulate since it was so short? I hope you get your bfp ASAP!
I'm hoping for pink but thinking I am just meant to be a boy mommy! We shall see if this is the month or not.
Ugh! I'm now 12 dpo and got another dip below coverline! (2 dips on 7 dpo & 12 dpo). I also did catch the 24 hr stomach flu during this 2ww and was throwing up from both ends every 20 min! (Tmi) Had a BFN last night at 11 dpo... This is my 1st month ttc but I'm 33 and DH is 34. Trying hard to sway BLUE! Sounds like I'm out, Doesn't it ladies? Saad face.

Yes, unfortunately I didn't Ov but today I start my second round of Clomid and Fx that I get abfp by the end of this month! I pray that this is it.
Oh no jilli hope It's nothing, but 2 temp dips not sure hmmm I did get a temp dip at 9dpo and then af started ;( if It's your first Time TTC It's ok don't beat yourself up. I'm sending you all my baby blue dust to you;) GL mommy and keep us updated;)
Unfortunately, AF started today :( Super bummed. I should be ovulating again around the 20th of this month. Hoping for a sticky blue bean very soon!

Oh no sorry jilli;( I should be Ov somewhere around the 16th..Fx to us!
AF came yesterday :(. Any BFP's yet? I have a scheduled appt. with a fertility doctor on the 24th, I am not sure if I should tell him everything I have been trying with the GD site. Anyone else in the same boat?
I started spotting yesterday so just waiting for AF to hit full force :( Never thought I would still be trying. I know it's normal but I've never had to try so it's hard not being pregnant already! I'm going to be 37 in April so want to get pregnant ASAP. My cycle is jumping around too. For the past 3 months since starting the diet I've been 31/32 days and this cycle I'm back to 29. Time to buy another set of OPK's
Newbie here. First month ttc. I have been tracking my cycles since September. Ov on January 9. So I am 4 dpo. I'll test on the 17 or 18.......so we'll see.....:) fx for us all!
I hope you get your bfp Redstar! Keep us updated. I'm due to Ov this week. FX that I do!
Hello ladies! This is my 4th month in the 2WW and I feel a lot more patient this month. After 6 yrs on the pill I finally see signs of being fertile again so I'm excited. I'm currently on CD13 so my 2WW is almost here. Hopefully I'll continue to be less anxious than I was in current months. Good Luck to you all!
I must confess I stalked GD for the past few days be for I decided to join. You all very supportive. I think its so awesome to join together in one place to achieve the same goal. It may sound odd to confined in strangers than people in our "real" lives. I guess maybe its a fear of being judged. ( well for me anyway) Beings as I have 3 boys people think I'm nuts for thinking Ill have a DD. I'm happy to have found this site. I was on BabyCenter (WWAPP) in 2009 when I swayed for pink and got blue again . I was hard to take in at first but now I cant imagine life with out Orrin. DS3. But still I find something missing, that can only be filled with a DD. So Im here again with all of you(thankfully) not alone!!!! FX for us all in our dreams!!!
im about to go into the 2ww - I should O today/tomorrow and did for the last 3 days. Fx for pink baby!
Hi ladies! I'm also on my 2ww! How soon is anyone going to start testing after ov? Some tests say they can detect pregnancy 4 days early?? I have 11 days till AF is due and I can feel it will be a longgggggg 11 days!!!!;)
What's your secret to 3 boys!? I'm so desperate for one!Quote:

Hi everyone, I'm TTC pink and just got a pos opk this afternoon and already BD so I'm jumping in here and hoping for the best!
Lovemy2blessings soooo glad to find you on here!! FX you o this week!! And thanks for starting this thread :)
Welcome to GD, Redsstarr, I know what you mean that it's nice to have a place to talk about the ins and outs of swaying without being judged. You are definitely not alone. Other people are curious but do always say they still think it's just a 50/50 chance. FX'd for this one to be your girl!!
Tomgirl, you're not out yet, I'm 37 in March so I understand wanting to get pg fast, sorry it hasn't happened yet. We didn't really have to "try" before either. Are you planning on having more after this? I'm not sure if we are or not yet.
Mlka1104, this is my 4th 2ww also, I didn't think I would necessarily get pg this first month but I was hoping for before the end of the year, but here we are! Glad you are more patient this month :) Good luck on catching that egg!!
Aprilbride, so did you get married less than a year ago? Congrats and GL! I'm swaying pink too! XX!
Fbunny3, I think I'll test at 9dpo, maybe 10dpo so maybe the 23rd? When are others testing?
jillibeeen and b'smommy, so sorry to see AF, have been there before. I just tried to always look at it as a chance to strengthen our sway :( Jillibeen, have you checked out How We Got Our Boys thread? Very helpful. Maybe we'll catch you again before the end of the month! FX for everyone!!!
Jillibeeen~ With my first 2 ds used Ov test and tracked my O. And dtd like 2 crazy newlyweds.
Dancin machine, got married last april. This will be my second time ttc as first sadly ended in MC.
Did you BD as soon as you got the positive OPK? Shettles method? I think I might get Preseed this month as I hear it helps to sway blue :)Quote:

Dancin Machine, I also got a pos opk last night. FX for both of us!! According to my chart, today is my actually O day and then goes the looong 2ww. I am going to test around 11 or 12dpo. The last 3 cycles were a big disappointment and I kept having all kinds of symptoms so I'm gonna keep busy and try not to symptom spot :-/ if that's even possible. Things were SO easier with my 2 daughters lol. And jillibean, I'm with you...I'm soo desperate for a boy!! I hope it happens for us soon!
Welcome to all the new ladies! I'm now on CD4 so a ways to go before O but already calmer about it then previous months.
Dream machine this will be #4 and our last. I have 3 wonderful handsome fellas and dream of having a little girl! I've always just ended up pregnant without thinking about it...I have had 3 surprises each time I thought I had already ovulated just based on cramps and cm. Never charted or anything. This time I am using OPK's so I know for sure when to DTD. I know it will happen when it's meant to so I've calmed down which can only help my sway...obsessing never good for wanting pink :)
Hi Ladies,
3rd cycle TTC and already frustrated. I know it's still really early but I got pregnant so easily with the boys. I try to stay positive thinking that it's good that it's different but it's so hard thinking "is this it? for two whole weeks." I am fine during the 2 weeks leading up to O but the 2 week wait is awful. My boobs hurt just walking around and that's so weird. Logically, I know 2DPO is way too early to have symptoms but I can't help but notice the pain. I also looked at the Chinese Gender Predictor and learned that I would have a boy if I did indeed get pregnant. I know it's probably nonsense but it was correct for my other 2 so now I'm worried about that. I really want a little girl but more than anything I want healthy in all ways.
At the time I didn't know of any method for ttc. I just used the opk when I got a + we dtd. And I laid there after with my legs up for ever lol really like 20 minutes. I'm a salty food person. I really don't like any kind of fruit. We ate a blend of all meats. Red. Fish. Chicken. I would love to help you get your blue bundle so please feel free to ask ask ask. I don't know anything about swaying blue. So it's more personal to me what I did at the time ect.
For ds 3 I was a member of baby center and they refer a lot to ig. So I was on that site too. But it was a fail. Ttc pink and got blue. Gender disappointment was unbelievable and so sad I left the groups. At the time everyone got pink I was happy for them but so sad for me. It took a few months to bounce back.
I'm sorry nikcib- I know how you feel this is month 7 TTC and month 8 on LE diet. I can't imagine going another month, but I guess I have no choice just praying and staying positive that the upped dosage on Clomid gets me to Ov sometime this week. I'm on CD12 and no pos opk yet. :( I'm thinking about seeing an RE next.
DM- I got my boys by bd every other day after af until I got a pos opk, I had big O's all the time. Ate pretty much everything and always stayed in the 2,00 calorie limits with DS2 and worked out before getting a bfp with him. With DS1 I was a couch potato and same had the same diet. I always had cereal for breakfast and if it helps Chinese Calendars were correct with both :)
Redsstarr we're both in San Diego! I'm in El Cajon. Was out running every morning on Chase but now I'm in the Rancho San Diego 24 hr every morning. So sorry you had so much disappointment last time. Really hoping you get your girl this time!
Aprilbride, so sorry for your loss. Really hope you have a good healthy pregnancy this time :)
Mlka1104, sounds like we're spot on! Good luck to you too! But I hope you get your boy, you can have my blue dust :)
Tomgirl, it's so hard to not get obsessive, especially swaying pink! How wonderful to have gotten pg so easily before, my first was a (pleasant) surprise and second DS it was our first month trying. So this is new to me too, "trying."
Nikcib, that's encouraging your boobs are sore, right?! I'm 4th cycle TTC pink too. Are you using exercise in your sway? My Chinese calendar said boy too but it was wrong for my first even using lunar age so I don't trust it.
Lovemy2, that's a long time. I'm so sorry it hasn't happened yet. You're a great example for staying the course. You're amazing!
You girls sound like you should share your stories on "How we got our girls," How we got our boys" threads. That would be helpful and it's good to hear the other side too. Nice to meet you all on here!
Morning ladies! So how are we holding up? I'm on only 4 dpo and all I can think about is 'am I? Aren't i?' Driving myself mad!!
Feeling v aching down below still but not sure if that's a sign or just mind over matter!!
A quick question, is anyone still having coffee in the 2ww? I know you are meant to not have caffeine, but at the mo I'm still having one a day:-/
Lots of baby dust to us all!:)
X
Dm. Are you just loving this weather. I'm in lemon Grove lol!
Sooooo.,....... at 8dpo I got a bfn. Should I but to much thought in to this?
Hello ladies. 1dpo...here we go again! :-) I still feel a lot more patient but its only the first day. I'm sure by 7dpo I will be itching to test lol! I do feel a lot different this time around though, even after af I noticed a difference in my body. So that's a good sign. I'm feeling hopeful.
Nikcib, I feel the same as you do...it was easy with my first two. I wasn't really trying at all and I didn't even test until I missed my period. Also, I have 2 daughters and know exactly how you feel about being nervous about gender. I didn't even check the Chinese Calendar this time because I don't want to stress myself out. It was right about my first two. It did get 2 of my sister's kids wrong, though. Try not to stress too much.
Dancin Machine, I wish I knew how I got my girls so that I can add that to the forum, but I have no idea. I didn't really pay attention. A couple things I did notice was that I was at my smallest weight b4 both girls and I was never much of a big eater and ate little meat. I worked out a lot with weights but did a lot of cardio as well. And hubby and I dtd a lot, but I wasn't tracking O. I just thought I had 2 girls because girls are dominant on both sides of my family. I'm praying for a little man this year though! My dh really needs an ally :-)
FX for all of us!
Redsstarr, it's still really early...don't get discouraged. Are you having symptoms?
Let's see I'm really moody. Snapy. Boobs are achy. Back pain mostly the Lower part.
13 dpo today. AF due tom.Very nervous to test. No real symptoms except slight lower back pain.Been gettign AF like cramps since morning so not hopeful :(
So when does everyone uesally wait to test. It's been 4 years since ttc. And I guess 2 we seems like a life time. Like a Lil boy waiting for the day of there 6th birthday party! Lol. Does first morning urine really matter? Dh doesn't ever ask about the test. So every time I find a unique way to tell him. Hehehehe.
Fbunny, how are you swaying, blue or pink? I'm not sure about blue but I think it's fine for pink. Hard to keep yourself busy and mind off it, huh. Hang in there!
Redsstarr, yes, awesome weather, I feel a little guilty to the rest of the country! We're not that far from each other in east county. Don't worry about bfn at 8dpo, still too early. Keep testing, fx!! Those all sound like good symptoms. Early morning urine is best since it's been collecting in your bladder throughout the night. 2ww in my mind says to test on 14dpo but I know most test before then. I have heard of 9-10dpo but I don't think you're out til you see AF so just keep testing.
Mlka1104, I understand you wanting an ally for DH, mine has his now I want mine :) And you sound just like a girl mom lifestyle wise. So interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Rums- welcome and really hope you get your BFP soon!! Fx!!
Hiya DM, I'm swaying pink so phew!;) I'm only having one a day but that one helps to get me started!;)
Feeling very normal today which is deflating:( but it's funny how ur mind plays tricks on you!!
Read on another post how lots of people have got their bfp from 9dpo so that means I have 4 more days to go before I'm allowed to start my testing frenzy!!
I wonder where everybody is from on this post? I'm from the uk!:)
Xxx
Hello, ladies. FX for you today, rums and Redsstarr!! I have a looong way to go. This will be a busy holiday weekend for me so hopefully I don't even think about it. I'm only 2dpo (sigh) so I just gotta get through this first week.
Wow 8 months! That's dedication! I'm not on the LE diet. I should be but do not have the willpower. At this point, I really want a girl but am happy with another boy. I guess I'm taking the "hope and pray approach" with a little bit of swaying. We are doing one attempt with CFR which is much different than the other two. My cycles are different now too so I'm hoping getting older will help sway girl too. I was pretty young with the first two boys (26 & 29)
