Baby dust to everyone! Fingers crossed that this is our month!
:fx:
I got another BFN in August so moving on to September TTC. Only CD2 today so there is a lot of waiting ahead. Feel free to join me!
Good luck everyone. Let's hope September is the month!! I've stalked August but it seemed it was a bit of a poor month for everyone. Lots of sticky pink dust to those who want it xxxxx
FX for you Maggie that this next cycle brings you a BFP!
I'll be testing probably sometime between 9/1-9/3. I don't feel very hopeful, and I'm not sure if we're going to continue to TTC or not. I'll be popping in though to check on how everyone gets on!!

august was hopeless for me too. CD13 today & still waiting on a +opk. We are bd e3d this month after frequent release & one attempt was not helpful last month. Ive been on the LE diet for 30 weeks now & I am hoping to get my BFP soon so I can get back to normal!
It's our first attempt this month, feeling so nervous as I've been rubbish on the diet lately! Between being ill and incredibly busy I've either been over or very much under on limits :( Starting OPKS starting next week and doing one attempt at a +. Will be the first time we have BD in months - hoping that it works in my favour! Good luck to everyone!!
Good luck everyone! I'm on CD 5 and should be attempting around 9/5. This is cycle 5 for me with one CP. I'm really hoping this is a big bfp month! There was some talk about SMEP on the Aug thread. I think I might add an attempt day after +opk this time, I'm ready to be done TTC. Positive vibes to all!

Hi everyone. Joining you for Sept 2WW. I am cd15 now, still no +OPK. We are doing e4d. This is my first cycle on clomid and third cycle on metformin. This has always been the month I most wanted to get pregnant because of birth date timing so I am hoping beyond hope for a sticky pink bean this cycle. Good luck to everyone. I hope we get lots and lots of BFPs.
September is our first attempt month! I'm currently waiting on AF so I've got a while. I'd forgotten how much of TTC is waiting.
Am currently mid attempt. Cd 18, i usually o at cd 14 or 15 but got static smilie this morning. We are doing e3d's, due to attempt tomorrow, was wondering when would be the optimum time to bd, early hours of Friday like 12/ 1am, tomorrow morning, afternoon, or evening? We are trying to conceive baby number four and am swaying pink, having been trying since June this year. I normally fall pregnant easily, so it is so surprising for me that am on the Sept thread, glad of your company and baby dust, really hope it is mine and all of yours turn to get bfp! X
Yep I'm moving onto September too.
Hoping we have 100% BFP for everyone in this thread - wouldn't that be cool !
Had a false positive on CB yesterday, so waiting it out and seeing when I really ovulate
Girlie I would do early morning hours in your shoes.
Like 12 or 1 am or like 7am or 8 am? Thanks bukoram! XQuote:

Like 7-8 would be best. So if you ovulate another day or two later there is still sperm for egg... But yes it's whatever you can manage
And feel more comfoertable doing!
Thanks ladies, first thing tomorrow morning works for me, dh is not great in the morning so may not suit him! We shall see how tonight goes with the wee ones. My husband was complaining today that our three were too close together, so I could run into problems suggesting attempting at all. Why do they get troublesome when it's your window? Maybe some indication that they really don't want another x
I don't tell my DH when I am in the fertility window or that I got a +OPK. I told him one month and I think it freaked him out to DTD knowing the pressure so I just play it cool now and don't say a word. I also don't let him know that we have to DTD every 4 days. I am sure he knows something is up when I initiate it odd times, but he just goes along with it. I think he is still nervous for this new chapter of our life (this is baby #1 for us) so I am making the TTC part as casual as I can. He is very supportive with the swaying though and helping with the diet because he does want a girl first too so I am lucky to have him on board with that.
Hi, though I would join you if that's ok. This will be our first month TTC since starting on the LE diet 6 weeks ago. I don't know that we will have much luck this first month but I am still hopeful as DH (40) and I (36) are getting a bit older so don't have too much time to spare and would like a close age gap between our kids if possible. I am only on CD 5 so still a while to go before attempt. Good luck to everyone, hope this is a great month for all ��
I do the same as you GirlieCat, I don't tell my DH when I am in my fertile window either as I think he would not want the pressure. He probably suspects something as we don't DTD that frequently with a 9 month old that doesn't sleep all that well but he seems to be obliging occasionally when I need him to be ��
I have a 9mo old too Kelbear! This is my 5th month TTCing.
FX for you!!

My Ovulation Chart
Hi everyone! :wave:
I'm joining in here, too, swaying pink for child number three. I can't believe it's finally almost time to start attempting! Very exciting!
I'm currently waiting for AF, then will be starting frequent release a few days later, leading up to one unprotected attempt at positive OPK.
I've been on the LE diet for about 7 or 8 weeks now, doing an hour of cardio daily for about a month or so. I've been using fibre at meals and drinking 1.5 ounces of rum every night. DH has not cooperated with anything I've asked him to do (the bottle of OLE I bought sits untouched in the cupboard) and has been exercising like crazy and inhaling red meat like it's going out of style, so I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact of another lovely boy. I can't complain, though, as it's incredible that he's agreeing to TTC again at all. It's really bothering me that I can't find a good middle name for the potential new little guy, though...I trust that I will be able to when the time comes. :happy:
Thought I would update here instead of the Aug board...
My midwife called earlier with the results of my second HCG blood draw and it went down from a 90 on Monday to a 72 on Thursday morning :-(
I had a feeling this was going to happen but I was still absolutely devastated when she told me.
I had a tiny amount of blood last night after using the bathroom but it stopped before I went to bed. Took more pregnancy tests this morning prior to the blood test and it was still positive, but a little lighter than yesterday. Aside from that though, no cramping or any other miscarriage signs so now I play the waiting game. She said it could take up to a week for the bleeding to begin. I have the option of taking some meds to help push it along, but she recommended to let it happen naturally if at all possible. A part of me agrees with that but another part of me just wants this over and done with!!
Now having had back to back miscarriages, I am kind of at a loss at what to do. This was our third month TTC and third month on Clomid (for swaying purposes only). Since I initially thought this was going to be a sticky PG I stopped exercising, started eating breakfast, added meat back in, nuts, etc basically everything the opposite of what I'd been doing since January. The thought of going back to LE and the daily exercise seems unbearable right now.
My midwife said back to back miscarriages are't common, esp since we conceived DS first month TTC and so she recommended I see an OBGYN or reproductive endocrinologist to get things checked out. I was somehow able to get an appt with a RE in 5 days so will be interesting to see what she says. I think I will probably have to come clean about taking Clomid medically unsupervised for 3 cycles which I am sure I will be read the riot act for :nails:
My DH just thinks these back to back miscarriage are purely coincidental and that we should just try again without intervention. The thought of trying again without having things looked at scares me. A part of me believes that these two miscarriages are somehow the result of me taking Clomid and it maybe impacting my lining but I just don't know. Maybe we got lucky when we conceived DS during first cycle? The other part of me thinks we should try again without the Clomid but if there truly is something going on, such as a blood clotting disorder or a lining issue I'd really prefer not to risk another potentially preventable miscarriage. And of course I feel like I've screwed up my chances of a girl in Sept since I've been eating and living a boy-friendly lifestyle the last two weeks. I really felt like I had my girl this month and I am so sad that my body couldn't sustain her :-(
Anyway, sorry for the long story but thanks for letting me vent. TTC #2 has felt like such a nightmare and absolutely nothing like I expected it to be.
Jenc I am so sorry. That is terrible news. I would be inclined to blame the clomid too because I have heard bad things about what it could do to your lining. I have that fear too because this is my first cycle on clomid. What about getting back on the diet and still going to the RE so if you do get answers you will be back on the diet strong when you are ready for your next attempt? I am so sorry this has been so tough for you.
Jenc I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you can get some answers from your RE as to the possible cause. I am new to swaying and somebody may tell me I am completely wrong but if it takes at least 6 weeks on the LE diet to convince your body times are hard then maybe it is the same in reverse and takes as long for your body to think times are good again so you may not have ruined your sway in the few weeks you have been off the diet and not exercised. Hopefully you can get back on the diet as soon as you feel able to. So sorry you have to go through such a difficult time.
XX if you decide to stop TTC will you go on the bc pill or how will you protect yourself from getting pg?Quote:

Sounds like a nice DH you have GirlieCat. I also do the hole swaying in silencio and don't tell hubby when the fertile window has It's opening-hour bc of the risk of him to step on the brake. Also I don't want him to think that he has been reduced to a breeding stud. Fx this is your and all of us in here's month.Quote:

I am so sorry for your loss Jenc. This was exactly what also happened to me last month. I was also on Clomid (first time) and had developed a weak lining probably bc of the meds and weightloss. I went on for weeks thinking I was pg and eating normal and miscarried naturally after 5 weeks. I think you should definately go and get checked. Don't worry about that two weeks off diet has ruined your chances. You will be good. Big hug too you. Take care.Quote:

So sorry to read this, I hope it happens quickly for you. As some of the other ladies have said don't worry about dropping the diet and exercise, I think it is the over all pattern over weeks. I myself conceived a girl first time round. I knew nothing about swaying but as it turns out I was living a very pink lifestyle, dieting and exercising to lose weight for my wedding. I did that for nearly a year. Abandoned it as soon as I got married and conceived my daughter 5 weeks later, 5 weeks eating and drinking what I wanted and how much I wanted. Give yourself time and be gentle, swaying and ttc is so tough and this is me trying for number 4, no problems or stress with the first three xQuote:

I think 2 miscarriages in a row is actually fairly common but 3 in a row is a lot less common. It won't make you feel better but maybe it will help knowing it possibly wasn't anything you did, it may have just been an unfortunate coincidence. If you are seeing an RE then she will be able to run some more tests and maybe give you fermara instead of clomid.
OMG, so sorry for your loss Jenc!! I hope your RE will switch you to Femara intead of Clomid.
I had a thin lining before starting TTC so I did 3 cycles on progesterone pills (Duphaston) to increase lining and then my doctor started me on Femara + Duphaston to avoid that problem entirely. I hope you can find out what is going on and get your sticky bean very soon!
I'm so sorry for your loss jenc!!! :bighug:
I'm so sorry Jenc [emoji22]! I hope you get some answers soon! Huge hugs!!
Dreamsister- We will most likely not try, not prevent until December when my DH will get a vasectomy. I'm just getting tired of TTCing and feel like I'm not going to be able to get pregnant while breastfeeding. I may TTC in October, because other than having a May baby, I wouldn't mind having a July baby.
I hope we see more BFPs soon!! GL to those waiting to test!!

Xx - I got pg with my DS2 when I was bfing and he was 11 months, but AF only came back for me when he was 9 months. It's good your AF came back quickly and now that it's had a few months to regulate, this could easily be your month!

jenc, I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
Serenity, I have the opposite name problem. We have a middle name picked if we have boy #3 but the first name is a bit of a sore subject.
jenc i am so sorry honey... :broken:
So sorry Jenc :(
