And it is August... who is waiting!
I had a really bad weekend...
Couldn't sleep Friday night because of the desire to attack hubby. I held off but only slept for a few hours. I knew I was very close to ovulating because of the very strong desire.
Saturday we went to Mesa for the day and it was very hot. I Ov around noon and from there it got bad... I didn't eat before we left so right when I Ov I got hot flashes and my blood glucose went really low and then jumped on it's own. I blacked out for a little bit and then hubby woke me up and got me something to eat. Never had this happen before and I have been doing good with what I have been eating. Maybe it was because I didn't have my crystal light like I normally do.
We did the O+12, O+16, O+20, and O+24 just because. Hubby has asked me to stop the diet and if we don't get pregnant this time I will try later but on a healthier diet. I hope I get preg but at this point I can no longer handle the dieting or skipping meals.
Heres to extreme praying for a BFP!
Wowzuhs...you poor thing! Were the O+ attempts your only attempts or did you have any cut-offs as well? Sending you lots and lots of dust! I hope the 2ww is a speedy one resulting in a nice BFP for you! Then you can grill those steaks!
Good Luck Purple! I am waiting...currently 5dpo and impatient has normal. I have not been so good on the diet the last few days but I am getting back on the crappy wagon today! I am just so hungry....plus I have to admit I am quite the fertile one....hence maybe 4 boys in a row...so I have to keep reminding that I am most likely not pregnant and I need to keep being good!
3 dpo for me today. Nothing exciting to report, I'm just glad we have a decent chance this cycle as the last 2 cycles were pretty much a bust due to dh being gone during ovulation. I consider this my 2nd cycle of
Dh was SO tired from work on a couple of the the days we had to dtd I actually had to wake him up after the kids went to bed and have my way with him, lol! Hopefully I didn't wake him up for nothing. ;)
We DTD 5-3 days before Ov (every 12hrs) and added the cut-off because we really want to get preg and get back to our lives. I am currently 2DPO. I will test at 5, 8, 10, 12, and 14 dpo... if I get any faint lines I will test everyday after that.
My next OB visit is 8/17 for my 4mth pap. If I am not preg at that time I will ask the Dr for Clomid but my diet will be breakfast 9am of oatmeal and fruit, lunch 1pm salad w/ tons of good veggies and no dressing, and dinner 6-7pm will be protein with veggies and carbs. I will try to avoid potassium, red meat, and sodium. I have pretty much given up most sugar so I will drink black coffee and water but no more fake sugar.
I will also be going back to bike riding for exercise and enjoying the outdoors... I will do some workout videos in the morning but staying home all day is boring and depressing.
I O tomorrow (probably) so I'll be here in a couple of days!
I am almost in the 2ww! I should O tomorrow, but we had our attempt late last night/early this morning. I ditches the OPK sticks this month to try not to focus so much on timing. I decided just to try to DTD between 36-48 hours before O. I am praying I get my healthy pink bean this month. I'm trying my best to not get discouraged. Good luck ladies! I'll be checking in every few days!
im 7dpo but no symptoms though
I'm 12dpo today and got another BFN, so I think I'm out. :sad: AF is due on Thursday.
You're still not out yet, mocha, until af comes you have a chance!!
I'm in!!! :) again....lol
I *think* I Oed today (CD 14) maybe yesterday afternoon (CD13) and we've finished our BDing an hour ago :bigsmile:
Here's my schedule of BDing:
CD 7 - doggy, no big O
CD 9 - doggy, no big O
CD 10- doggy, no big O
CD 12- doggy, no big O, went to swim in the pool 40 min after BD so I probably washed out all sperm :hair:
CD 14 - missionary, I almost Oed
Please tell me this looks like a 'must be BFP'. I'm so afraid I managed to miss my fertile window (again) :worry:
I had perfect diet this cycle and we are on vacation so I swimed alot in the sea and pool.
Oh, and 1 last question: we BDed CD12 around 3pm and if I Oed in the evening CD13, did I miss my eggie? ( that would be 36 hours)
How long does the egg live anyway? :think:
Hold your horses lol! Like swish said, until AF shows, it's too early to feel bad and sad :wink:Quote:

Soo hopeful! Is there a way to attach our fertility friend charts here?
trying "not" to get excited...lol....it is too early for me! LOL
I'd love to see your chart Emmy! If you go into FF and then click on "sharing" at the top right hand side of the page, scroll down to set-up and then use that link in your siggy, we can see it!
6dpo for me too and feel nothing so far:) I'm feeling good about going to the conference....but won't get too excited....
Hello to all the new 2ww'ers!!! Good luck to you all! And mocha- I hope it's just a late implanter! FX'd!!! :HH:
Did it work? Can you see my chart? What do ya think? I am so hoping for a rise tomorrow!!
It looks great so far, Emmy! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a rise for you tomorrow:) After looking at your temps...and others on FF....I'm wondering if my temps are too low to conceive? Your pre-O temps are my Post-O temps. I wonder what it means to have a low temp...??? Hmmmm.Quote:

I'm going to test probably 10dpo, on Aug. 8, but may cave and test on Sunday.
HUGE AMOUNTS OF LUCK AND EVERYTHING CROSSED FOR US ALL!
ZB, you probably caught your egg since you bd every other day, that is what is recommended to get pg! You know. Looks like you had a good attempt!
Mocha, I agree....you aren't out yet!
Good to see everyone again and have a nice place to obsess! :fx:
DM, I remember reading some stuff about low temps meaning one gender and vice versa, but I honestly don't think there is any legitamacy to any of that. But I am not sure! May have to do with your temps being higher pre-O because you had more or less progesterone or estrogen. Does anyone remember that stuff?Quote:

Good Luck Lola!!!!
I think at least trying for a girl...I read somewhere high temps were good but i am not sure the reasons though....we read so much it is hard to keep it all straight! With my luck high temps means boy! LOL My temps are higher then normal though. Hope that is a good sign....especially if that tends to be a girl sign!
Out of curiosity I went and took my temp right now....both orally and vaginally. Oral temp- 97.89 vaginal- 99.04! So I'm thinking that I'm not as low temp wise as I thought I was! YAY! I was seriously starting to worry about Hypothyroidism. I do have weight issues so I may have a slight problem but I hope it doesn't affect my ability to TTC. Anyway....sorry for the OT discussions....
yeah Doula!! My temps are probably just higher cause I do vaginal temps not oral!
I posted my ovulation chart in my siggy although it's not that exciting since I don't temp. I used a fingertip of replens before each bd placed right at the cervix (well, as best as I could get it there), I didn't have the big "O" on any of my +opk days and positionally I was on top. I had very little cm. I had less than a 24 hour cutoff which isn't ideal for a girl but I had a 4 day cutoff when I got pg with ds3 so I'm less concerned about timing and more concerned about environment. Mainly my cm which I had a LOT of ewcm when conceiving my 4 boys. This time I had very little. So little that I worried it was too little. I also know you're supposed to jump & dump to ttc a girl but I didn't. So, I guess we'll see what happens?!?
my chart isn't showing our bd'ing days and isn't linking directly to this cycle. Anyone know what I need to do differently?
Nevermind, I got it figured out :D
I temp once in awhile just to see where I'm at (it's not charted because it's not often enough to make a difference - I'm VERY forgetful about temping) and previously when I charted temps (before ds1 and before ds3 although we weren't actively ttc #3 I still charted) my pre Ov temps were usually around 97.3 and post Ov temps are usually between 98.0 & 98.6. If they went above that I was pg but also they didn't usually go above that until after I'd get a +hpt (after 12dpo or so) so that's not much help either as far as early signs go! Not to mention that was with my old basal body thermometer which has since broken. Now I use a temporal thermometer which reads higher. But there's still a distinct jump between pre ov & post ov temps.
I am 3dpo.... I have a killer headache and earpain (normal for because of thunder storms), I am very dizzy and feel like puking (maybe because of headache), I feel starved for food even after eating a big bowl of oatmeal with strawberries, and I feel like I gain 20lbs because my pants feel like they are cutting off bloodflow to my legs.
I will do a cheapy test tomorrow... for now I am going to stay offline and get ready for a nap when hubby gets home.
Good luck 4blue and purple!!!
Okay, I'm joining you ladies now. O'ed today and BD a few hours ago. I'm looking forward to a BFP this month!
One thing though--this month I had the most painful ovulation pains. I usually can feel myself O, but this was a serious band of pain around my midsection. It went away, but it kind of has me worried.
Yuzu, some women feel themselves ovulate I guess it can be kinda normal to. I think maybe a few times I had a few cramps but usually I am not sure.
7dpo today, was hoping for a temp spike today but instead it went down alittle more...I know it itoo early to count myself out but I am bumming. I have not been the best on this stupid diet and I MUST be better today...especially if I am going to be going for August now. Hopefully it will spike tomorrow but who knows. I feel bad for you ladies that did not get your BFP this month....TTC is so hard and especially when you are doing all the things to try to get a certain gender. I feel kinda silly now thinking it could happen for me on the first month. Darn it!
Last night after dinner until now I have the feeling of low blood sugar, metal taste in my mouth for the last 30hrs, I feel like I am starving, I got up to go to the bath room 4x's (I normally don't get up til 5am), and I want a bagel so bad right now it is all I can think about. BFN this morning... waiting to see if it changes a little later!
On the crappy day side... yesterday the truck overheated and started leaking antifreeze everywhere, took hubby 30mins to get away from work, another 40mins for the tow truck, screaming boys the whole time, $300 fix and the truck is working again, and now we also have to pay $500 to fix the airconditioner so no traveling to hot places until then! I think I will stay home today :)
About the temp thing I think it can depend on the person... when I was preg my temps were always low and the nurse would ask what my normal body temp was 97.7-9 and while preg it was 97.3-7. It has been over 98 the last few days.
5dpo today. I had a pretty vivid & odd dream last night but I've had that before in the 2ww and not been pg. I'm also a little stuffed up which is unusual. Could be something or nothing. It's hard not to analyze every little thing.
Emmy, maybe it's an implantation dip?
Purple - sorry to hear about your truck. Vehicles can be such a pain!
Emmy, yep....I agree with 4Blue, could very well be an implantation dip there. Guess we'll see tomorrow! You never know, you could have a one hit wonder, and lots of women do, which is so wonderful. I am always so happy to see someone have that happen, because TTC for a long time IS super hard. But, the babies eventually come. They teach you patience before they are even born, right?
4Blue, I am 5dpo today also. I was super emotional last night and picked a fight with DH, always a good sign for me, LOL.
Yuzu, I get middleschmertz (ov pains) as well, I know the exact moment my ovaries release an egg. Sometimes they both kind of go off, but I always feel one that is more pronounced than the other. Hey, FX that you had a nice strong ovulation!
PP, hugs about the crap day. I hate those kinds of days. And I wish I could say have a beer or something, LOL! And you are way early to get a bfp. Keep on testing, honey. Did you have all of those symptoms with your boys?
Just popping in to say that someone on this thread needs to get a BFP ASAP, lol!!! We need more preggy Mamas!!! I'm sending you all lots and lots of baby dust in all colors!
Emmy, I also think it could be an imp dip...I think your 4dpo was just an anomaly and that you're on your way back up. FX for you!!
P, that sucks about the truck overheating. Hopefully, you can get the a.c. fixed for a cheeper price. No fun when you are living where you are, especially in the summer!
:cheerteam: Hoping all you guys get a speedy BFP this time around!!!!! :HH:
Emmy- it could totally be an I dip:) it's funny, mine did the same thing....but I'm hoping it's not an implant dip....LOL! Have any symptoms?7dpo here and I'm still symptom free other than feeling fat and ugly- is that a symptom? :rofl: Otherwise, nothing new to report. I'm excited for all the ladies here and hope that you all get your BFP's:) :HH:
I am so hoping it is an implant tip....I guess we will see tomorrow. I do have some symptoms...very gassy (total sign normally), very tender breasts, lots of cm which I have been very dry due to diet. So who knows...I am trying not to get my hopes up cause it just seems to crazy to think it would happen first time with trying for a girl. It happened first time for me last sway for girl (had a boy) but I did freq through O then so of course! LOL I did alot this time to make it harder to get pregnant, cut-off with douche and rephresh, then o+12 with aci-jel so who knows. TWW sucks!!!
Purple, I agree you are too early to get a bfp, the earliest I have seen is like 7dpo and that is kinda crazy! I think 9 is a good early one. I have never had one before 11dpo (does'nt stop me from testing though)! LOL
