Happy November! [emoji301][emoji300]
I am 8-dpiui and was told yesterday at my appt that since we had multiple follicles, I can test as early as tomorrow and any line I see, will be mine!! I am so nervous and plenty of thoughts have been going through my mind. I am due for what's her face on the 8th of november but, really really hoping that everything is developing in the right places and working[emoji1696][emoji173]

Hope everyone is doing ok and if its warm where you are, I am a bit jealous! [emoji12][emoji8]

AF due Wednesday or Thursday for me. I hope it does come then and that the m/c hasn’t stuffed things up.
Then we will be back on E4D to try again!

Hanging in here! My tests are positively faint! But, I'm going to keep testing and give it until friday so I can fully believe it and then call my doctor and see what to do next! Hopefully, these positives are true![emoji1696]

Hi everyone.

Can I join I am 6dpo with no sway as it was a last minute decision to try while we were away for a few days without the kids.

We are happy with either but would love another boy, If not successful then we will probably skip a month and I will try to introduce more snacks as I am fairly HE with my diet anyway.

Yes DS was my 1st successful sway this time 7 years ago I got my BFP with him.

Don’t give up hope this month either. My DD2 was conceived with one attempt 6 days before ovulation. ( I went away with my sisters after for a week and was definitely not expecting a BFP)

Hi Pearl, I see you had a few successful sways already. Wanted to ask you about your diet when TTC pink. I saw in some old post of yours that you hardly had any eggs, is that right? What else did you eat/didn’t eat? Thanks!

Hi Thirdtimelucky.

DD1 was a 1 accidentally attempt 1st month off the pill (I ovulated late) we weren’t planning to get pregnant until a few months later. I wanted to lose the honeymoon and Christmas weight first. I would have a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes every morning with low fat milk. Lunch would be a bagel with low fat cream cheese, with salad and usually a muller light yogurt or a cheese and coleslaw with lettuce or cucumber small bread roll. I also think I used to have low fat yogurt with museli and fruit some days. Mid week dinner was pasta almost every day with some spicy tomato based sauce and some Parmesan cheese. Or pesto or a pasta bake with same sauce but added mushrooms peppers and olives. I also loved a baked rice dish with peppers, broccoli and cheese. Again in a tomato based sauce. ( I must make this again soon). Also if I was busy I would just have crackers and cream cheese instead of dinner.
When I came off the pill I started my prenatal vitamins. So I was only taking them for two weeks. Also I did some exercise every day

For DD2. I tried to follow what I did for DD1 as much as possible and also staying in LE guidelines. I now had breakfast later and just a packet of breakfast biscuits/cookies with coffee. Similar lunches and dinner. Again only 1 attempt but this time it was a number of days before ovulation ( I told DH not to get his hopes up as it was very unlikely to happen). No exercise this time

At the moment I would say I am light HE which would be my normal way of eating and exercising.
I hope this helps and if you want to know anything else feel free to ask

How interesting! Diet must really be the key! To me that sounds like an absolute starvation diet haha!!! Did you not eat meat with DD on purpose or you just don’t like it in general? I must be a typical boy mum because I’d have meat 2 times a day, eggs every day, have almost 0 carbs and be eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink juices. So to change those old habits to a diet similar to yours is so challenging! But I really want to sway pink so I’ll give it my best shot. Thanks for taking time to write it all up!

I took it a little hard when AF showed up.
I didn't want to get out of bed, eat or drink. Just cry and ponder on all the things that might have possibly went wrong.
After a phone call from my doctor, who happened to be on-call this weekend and my husband for support (like a little fertility therapy session) I felt a little better and regained some of myself.
We told our son and parents. But, not our close friends who knew and cheering for us. I don't want to touch it or say it. There's no joy in "our first IUI failed" and the heartache right on it. [emoji174] DH and I chatted a bit more and feel we need time to let go and relax for the holiday's. We won't stop trying or any treatments, we have come too far to quit. I will also switch to Femara and get off Clomid to see if that makes any difference. Then when January comes we will try another medicated IUI.

Rockies Ann sorry to hear AF showed up, but glad that you have been able to regroup and praying you get a lovely Christmas gift and don't need your next IUI.

I have been vegetarian since I was 12 years old and have always had a love/hate relationship with eggs. I go through periods where I would have two a day and other times the thought of eating an egg would turn my stomach. Above is just weight loss eating for me. I usually have 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.

Sorry to hear about all the AFs showing up. Mine is due Wednesday but I won’t be testing until Friday if she doesn’t show before then.

^^^ me too on the eggs! Sometimes I'll eat them daily for weeks and then other times I go months without touching them and they repulse me. I always figure it must be something my body needs.

I know. It seems crazy how you can love a food for a time and gag at the thought of eating it at others.
I have been eating eggs regularly for the last 6 months so hopefully it will bring me some more blue

Hi atomic, so what’s the latest recommendation for pink when it comes to eggs? I love eggs! How many should I eat a week?

I had a more in depth appointment with my doctor and told her how I was feeling and when we should plan on doing our next IUI, if needed. As well, what we can do differently that we didnt do with just having timed intercourse by ourselves and with clomid as well.
So, what we are going to be doing for the next cycles are, starting clomid today CD3 (she wanted us to ride the 6 months of clomid first before switching) and on CD12 we'll be going in for a follicle scan and then do a trigger shot with exact timed intercourse and see if that will do anything. Hopefully it will do something while we wait. I feel skeptical after the years of us not being able to conceive with just us and clomid but, it's better to keep with medicated attempts instead of quitting and starting all over again.

Hope everyone is doing ok and wishing you all the best this cycle [emoji173]

I’m on CD16 and day 5 of consecutive flashy smiles! Never had that before! Last month I had a flashy smile in the morning followed but a solid smile (peak) 4 hours later! Will probably stick with the attempt we had last night and pray it works. Good luck everyone!

Thoughts please! We had an attempt on Tuesday (is Thursday now), so next attempt is due tomorrow. I think I will get a positive OPK tonight. Will an attempt tomorrow be too late?

Laurelw I’m in exactly the same situation!!! Attempt on Tuesday, OPKs still still flashy smileys but I got EWCM at lunchtime which usually happens the day before O for me so I assume tonight my OPKs will turn positive. I’ll probably stick with the attempt we had on Tuesday but this is my first month TTC and I want to try a cutoff as I had two boys with one attempt close to ovulation. Let us know what you decide to do and good luck!
