Here's hoping to see many BFPs in February. Hopefully I'll be joining you ladies in POAS sometime here, if AF returns for me in January.

I'm in! On Cd 7 currently. Going to try the E3 day method (or E4) this cycle because I'm really wanting to get pregnant THIS cycle for due date reasons. Im so excited for this to be the month!!!
I've even chosen a boy name and have been envisioning him. It's my attempt at preparing myself for whatever the outcome. But I am starting to feel more at peace with either outcome.
Praying this long awaited cycle is it! [emoji1374]

Woo Hoo! Feb will be a great month for us all. CD13 for me. hoping to o sometime soon. I am doing a poor job at the diet, but started exercising again the past few days. We are doing our attempts at E3D I think right now.
I was about to start the Feb thread LOL. Looks like AF is on her way so I'm gonna go ahead and get comfy here :D
Welcome everyone, good luck to those in the 2WW!
Praying this is THE month for everyone!!! I am just settling in for the long haul as it has taken me 4-8 months in the past to conceive. I would be totally shocked if it happened right away. Add in a girl sway and I am looking at the summer BFP :). But I am here to cheer you all on. :) :)
Just had my attempt ! A bit premature but hoping to get a bfp this month!

Hi everyone! I'm on cd3 and hoping to o cd13 (usually o cd14) as I wont be able to get an attempt in after cd12 (probably mid afternoon) until cd15 (night)..... so an early or late o would be wonderful, if only we could put an order in lol!!
I'm not swaying at all anymore but started this journey hoping for pink.
Good luck everybody!!!!
Erin I hope af arrives soon. I'm not sure but assuming you've had a mc :( any signs she may be on her way? This is my first af since emc/chemical at 5w1d and that cycle was 30 days approx 3-4 days longer than normal.. not much shorter than my previous mmc at 10w (was 32 days with spotting from 29th day) but that ended up with having to have d&c so maybe it returned quicker because of it??
Wantanother2017 are you swaying girl? Not sure if that's what you mean about preparing yourself by having a boy name picked out? Only ask because even though I'm no longer swaying I still only think of boy names etc... :)
How exciting Shannshaff!! Ypu must be right at the business end of things!! Have you stuck to e3d?
Yay for attempt butterflies!!! What cd are you and when do you usually o?
Do all you ladies use opks and chart? Hoping some of you do as I LOVE looking at charts hahaha!!!
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
I'm useless with charts :-/!!
So no I just use a fertility app and opks (Cheapies!)
I usually O on cd14 but since swaying it's a bit hit and miss I think last month it was cd16
So we have chosen the e4d method to take the pressure off plus I think it ups odds and I'm hoping to fall pregnant before March so we dtd last night on cd13 & will do again on cd17 & cd21 as per atomics advice ... fingers crossed !
It's so silly but I went to bed last night and couldn't sleep all night full of anxiety and butterflies coz of our attempt ! I really hope we get our little girl !
Also good luck everyone hoping for a successful February!
And SEe what happens !

Did you have a pos opk yesterday?
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
No I didn't as we started dtd from cd9 so it's just fallen that way I'm hoping either last nights or cd17 should catch the egg?
I'm testing with opks today hoping for a pos today and hoping that will help !

Let us know how todays test goes!! It's evening/early night where I am now so will check in morning how it went :) fx!!

We are on E3D or E4D as it seems to depend on the little one. He has a 6th sense about DH and I DTD! He always cries or won't go to sleep when we want to be *together*. :rolleyes:
And I chart, but since this is my first month PP I have no idea what will be happening.
Our attempt was funny last night a quickie on the sofa as the kids refused to go to bed so I let them watch tele in my bed whilst me and hubby dtd downstairs it was quite funny actually !

Jumping onto this thread. Currently on cd6 of cycle #5. Throwing all caution to the wind this cycle and we are now just swaying to get pregnant regardless of gender. I'll keep up the LE diet and am losing weight actively... but I'm not doung e4d or 1 attempt this month as this has not worked for us at all.
I have a fertility clinic monitoring this month's cycle for me so they should confirm ovulation and give a trigger shot if need be.
I am thinking of doing E3D plus extra attempt at + or just BD everyday through fertile window. If I have another boy I'd be happy anyway. I saw a psychic who predicted my daughter (before she was born) and she said I'd have another boy due in october (which would be this cycle)... we shall see?!
Good luck to everyone!

Hi I'm sorry it's not working out for u at the moment at least u will now be monitored which seems necessary if you're not falling pg - I really hope u will fall very soon as I know how stressful it can be waiting for a bfp month after month - good luck to you and I really hope your psychic reading comes true xx

Cd 10 here and swaying for girl! But recently coming to find more peace about the possibility of another boy.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No pos opk today (cd14) so not sure what's happening this month glad I had attempt last night anyway ! Roll on next attempt Saturday
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I hope to get our next attempt in tonight since we missed last night. This is definitely not our norm. We usually DTD all the time (thus all the boys). I am praying that my being on the diet for several months before our move will help my sway. When we moved in Dec the diet went out the window. Hoping the stress of the move offsets the diet. But this month I have been halfway been back on it. I am definitely eating different than my norm, so it should be enough :) We have decided that if we end up with another boy for our last one, he will be really special and supposed to be with us.
That's a lovely way of thinking ...Quote:

We can only do so much in our day to day lives with our current children and situations
And I'm hoping I've changed enough !
Me &I my hubby dtd 2/3 times a week so this isn't anything out of the ordinary for us really I'll take it or leave it twice a week !
But when we had out boys we dtd every day so staying away from that tactic !

It's so funny how everyone is different! We DTD every other day (e2d) and got our boys! My daughter was two attemps. One CD 10 and one CD13 total in that cycle. According to FF I ovulated on CD12 (so right in between).Quote:

Cd9 (end of af) we was away at our in laws last weekend so I just thought I'd start when we got back (yesterday) I never normally ovulate earlier than cd14 but who knows now with all the diet and supps ! I really hope not though :-(
It definately seems (in most cases?) less attempts sways girl doesn't it and definately in your case too - hope it works for me !

Yes for sure! Less attempts =girl.Quote:

Butterflies what makes you think you oed?
Good luck Robin!!! I'm so jealous of your fertility monitoring 😀😀 really hope it gives you the upper edge this cycle!
Shannshaff do you think you're close to oing?? Any idea when you usually do?
Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk
Robin, the fertility monitoring is cool! Take good notes of O signs and CM and let us know how far off symptoms are from actual O day. :D
AFM, it's CD4 today. My supplies (OPK's, HPT's and preseed) are coming in tomorrow and AF should be gone by tomorrow evening or Saturday sometime.
I got some clearblue digital OPK's this time because I had alot fo stress with the cheapies last cycle and it didn't help in any way lol. I'm a bit concerned with testing once per day, but this whole holding pee, drinking less etc doesn't work for me one bit. I'm already going to make a huge effort by cutting off drinks at 4PM to test at 7PM every evening (my surge is usually overnight).
Have any of you had luck testing once per day?
I have. I only have time to do it once per day with 3 kids!
I use my Wondfo ICs first and if it looks positive, I confirm with a CBD. That way I only use 1-3 max per cycle, since they are more expensive. I always test between 10-1pm and have gotten good results doing that. My day gets too busy from 3pm onward to remember to test then, or to have any privacy, haha!
FX and GL to you!!

My Ovulation Chart
I am the same kind of tester. I always use FMU because I've had a lot of luck. I drink alot of water during day so it's the best time for me. I do cheapie wonfo and then confirm with digital if I have it. Here in Canada though they are like $80 for the clearblue digital ones. So expensive! If I combined that with the hundred dollars a month I've been spending with the pregnancy tests.. it's rediculous!Quote:

OMG, Robin! That is crazy! In the US, the CBDs are typically $32! Hmm, I have like 10-12 left...let me know when you get close to running out. I would be willing to send them to you for the cost of shipping, if you have a PayPal account. I'll save them for you! I also have TONs of Wondfo opks too!

My Ovulation Chart
$80? That's odd, I got mine off amazon.ca for $50 (still very pricey). I got the 20 pack, not the advanced 10 pack.
So okay, FMU or Evening? They both work for me because my surge is at night so I tend to catch the beginning or end with OPK's it looks like. I've only done 2 cycles with OPK's. I didn't buy any cheapies because I can see myself getting stressed out and comparing lines and all sorts just like I did this past cycle lol.
I need a good plan of action. I also switched to vaginal temp this cycle, I did both last cycle and the vag were much more consistent.
ETA: My evening time is 7PM (I go to bed at 8) and my morning time would be 4:00AM. That's why its confusing to me. I assume that typical instructions are referring to somebody who wakes at about 7/8AM right?
I'm talking about the ones that give high and peak. Not sure if that's the advanced? Probably though. I'll look into amazon too!Quote:

Hi ladies, I'm CD6 and jumping on this wagon! :) AF just stopped today, so now the fun begins!!
Planning to start opk's on CD12. Swaying girl, planning to dtd e4d plus one attempt at positive opk. I sometimes have delayed O (99.9% sure due to stressing over all this!!), so I'll continue e4d and try to take it easy this cycle! Planning on doing it low key but maintaining a mostly vegetarian LE diet and adding diet coke, coffee, and sugar free gum.
Fingers crossed that this is OUR month! :awe:
Sounds fantastic ! Wishing u lots of luck - my next attempt is Saturday (first month) fingers crossed ! X

smu could work, but because of my blue sway, I start my tea and a protein shake as soon as I get up. Won't this dilute things?Quote:

The key is to make sure you have a 3-4 hour hold before you test.

Ok, so I get up at 4:00AM, pee and then hold until at least 8:00AM correct? My only issue with that is if it's positive, I need to get a BD session in right away and DH isn't usually available until 11:00AM or 12:00PM.Quote:

If I test later in the morning then I'm looking at a possible attempt around 11AM/12PM and a few hours later that evening and possibly again the next morning at 11AM/12PM. If it's too close together, it will be very tough.
I'm unsure my urine will be concentrated enough in the late evening like it would be in the morning. So the issues really is BD haha.
Haha this made me laugh out loud !!Quote:

Yes I hope I fall pg nice and quickly too I see some people swaying for months on end and I honestly don't know how women do it I'm giving myself until March April latest and that's it il learn to somehow live without a dd or revisit it in a few years (I'm 29) I can't live and eat like this for too long - my husband is such a good chef and I miss his amazing food !
Fingers crossed Jan is the month for us ! Xx
