Let me know your estimated test days and I can update the opening post. Mine is just a guess for now, I have no idea when I will even ovulate :)
I should O around Jan 9th and then test at 11dpo which would be Jan 20th.
I'll test 12dpo on January 9th! I'm 2dpo today :)
I will probably test around the 29th! Gosh, my attempt feels so close (19th-ish) but the 29th sure doesn't! Hah
I secretly hope I'm the first bfp of the new year :p
Fingers crossed for you Nann!!!!
Just popped in to update you all. AF showed up this afternoon, so at least now I can get this next cycle started. At least I get another try at more attempts this time, wasn't 100% happy with our attempts last time. Test date will probably be around the 26th. That's DH's birthday, would be nice to get a bfp that day lol.
Keeping fx for you Nann.

I'm 8dpo today so I guess I'll test tomorrow on January 1st. That's probably too early but I can't help myself. lol
Good luck to all of you ladies! I hope to see a bunch of BFPs in January!!!
So sorry Farmgirl! FX this is your month! :)
So sorry farmgirl! Hopefully you will get bfp this cycle!
Ksmom, exciting! Can't wait for your tomorrow's test! Fx!
Good luck to everyone of you!
I got crosshairs today! :) exciting
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been keeping up with everyone's news in the December thread, I've been offline for a while. I'm finding this a lot harder emotionally than I expected. Joining this thread. I had my positive opk yesterday morning so we had our attempt last night. I hate this waiting I am so impatient! I will probably test in 2 weeks, if I can last that long, so maybe the 13th?
I hope everyone has a lovely new year and we get lots of bfps in 2016! X
Today is CD6 for me but my first month taking Clomid (days3-7) so I am totally guessing on a ovulation date of around Jan 9 and will test at 10 DPO on Jan 19.
Good luck everyone, hopefully the January board will be just as successful as the December one, so many BFP's this month! :)
Are you taking clomid for swaying or medical purposes?Quote:

I am still here girls.... 11dpo I have not bothered to test anymore. I have major period pains feels like its on its way for sure. I just want it to hurry up and come so I can start my next cycle. Good luck to everyone xo
Hang in there pinkin. It's not over till AF comes around!
Thanks nann.
the ladies that are doing or have done e4d. Do you count the day of release as day 1 or 24 hrs after is one day? Just a bit confused
Ttc, big hugs. It is quite difficult emotionally. I really hope this is your cycle! Hang in there and FX!
Pinkin, I really hope you could still get your bfp. Like Nann said it's not over until af arrives.
So sorry farmgirl. I hope your BFP is just around the corner. FX for you!
Sorry to hear farmgirl :( hope you get your sticky bfp this cycle
Fx ksmom!! Cant wait for your update!Quote:

Nann its each to their own. I personally think a one or two drinkies is fine at 3dpo. But that's me, its whatever you feel comfortable with :)
Hi Ladies! I've been swaying since December of last year and no successful pregnancy this year. Hoping 2016 is a better year for us! Please put me down for testing around January 28. I followed your Dec post as I was testing as well but got a bfn first round trying again after our second loss.
Day of release is day one. You want to have three days in between. So day 1- release, then day 2, day three, day 4, then day 5- attempt.Quote:

Good luck Blue Bear. I have a DD born 12/2013 and having also been trying for 10 months hoping for a boy.
Welcome! I'm so sorry for your loss [emoji20]. I hope you get your much awaited BFP soon! Are you swaying pink or blue?Quote:

Thanks for your encouragement! Hoping for blue. :)
tfahn - I think I read in one of the 2 ww that you are 39 - I'm 35. I was stuck on the Shettle's method for the first 6 months or so, and I think that is what held us up on getting pregnant first part of the year. Wish I would've listened to Atomic's advice sooner - ha! The Shettle's book was so convincing - and of course my friend who I lent the book to got pregnant with a boy with that approach. Guessing it was just random. I have started doing acupuncture since my last miscarriage so am hoping that boosts my egg quality and encourages a sticky bean!
Thanks everyone! I don't drink much anyways. 1-3 at most so I think I'll just enjoy my couple of ciders tonight :)
Happy New Year ladies!
Welcome Blue Bear! Tons of blue sticky dust to you!!
BFN at 9dpo today. I'm hoping it's just too early but it still bums me out getting a negative.
Happy new year and good luck for this month ladies. [emoji322]

Hi everyone!! Love seeing this board, a new month, new year, new chances. I just feel more hopeful. Good luck to everyone waiting to test.
Ttc2015 and Blue Bear I feel you on this long and emotional journey. I'm swaying boy and have egg quality issues as well. My last u/s with the RE was actually depressing as I only have 6 potential eggs and those will all not grow. With my last dd I had 3 good follicles at O time and had only one baby so I'm very worried about this time.
I've also been doing acupuncture and had a chemical pregnancy last month after going to my first couple sessions. I really feel like it's been helping even though dh thinks it's weird. I've also started fertility yoga and raspberry leaf tea. Last month's drawn out chemical sucked so I'm nervous but hopefully January is good to us!!
Anyone else doing different things to help with fertility? I'm trying to remember to have positive thoughts and say positive affirmations. My diet and exercise has been sooooo off track lately. I've consumed pounds of sugar I think. Okay this was long winded, just happy for the new start. :)

Quinn31 - seems a lot of us are in the same boat! How old are you? What does RE mean? What are the ages of your current DD(s)? Would be amazing to be due date buddies end of this year or early next year for sure. Don't lose hope over the chemical. Plus, I've read so many amazing stories online of women having success getting pregnant with acupuncture as well in their 40s. Are you going 1x per week? I am also doing wheatgrass - powder form right now - especially from Af to O and preseed did seem to help us get pregnant. More than anything it seems like the more attempts I've had at 0, the higher chances of getting pregnant this past year. (Sorry girl swayers - I know this is opposite of what you are doing!)

Yes, I am 39 and would love one more baby to give Dd#1 a sibling. I have been trying Atomic methods for the last 9 months, just waiting to catch a good egg I guess. I even bought one of the personalized plans to help out. Started seeing a RE 2 months ago, so far all my numbers look good, estrogen was a little low so I started Clomid this month to help improve egg quality hopefully.Quote:

Sorry to hear about your chemical Quinn. Lovely message though, you are right, a new year and a new start. Here's to having our dreams come true in 2016.
Nann we seem to be almost exactly following the same cycles!! We had our attempt 2 days ago on Wednesday. Do you know the moon phase thing for the 30th?!
Ksmom, it's still too early so fingers crossed! I'm rubbish at waiting, but the early testing can be so disappointing when there is absolutely no sign.
It feels like it's taken years to get to this stage! I know girl swaying is supposed to make conception harder and this is only our 3rd cycle of trying (after almost 2 years of planning our HT attempt which failed in April, and starting diet/exercise etc last summer) and I now realise how very lucky I was to fall pregnant with my boys so quickly. I'm worrying a wee bit that after failed IVF something might be up with my fertility. Ive gone from thinking our next (and last) child HAD to be a girl, to just hoping it will be a girl, to just wanting to get pregnant with a happy healthy baby now. I've loosened up on the diet and supplements, if it doesn't work this cycle I think I will stop swaying altogether and just try my hardest to fall pregnant. I feel like time is running out. Oh and I just found out my SIL is pregnant with number 2. Happy for them but I just know it will be a girl. Everyone around me is pregnant at the moment!!!
