Pink swayers' December thread

[Mochagirl]

Oh, I really hope so...I just wish my OPK was a BIT darker today, but it's still pretty faint. I only have 2 digis left and want to save them for when my tests are a bit darker, but I keep remembering that once when I got a +digi my ICs were still nowhere close to +. I'm going to try to hold out using them until tomorrow - if I use them up before O actually happens, I'll have to buy a whole new box and those things are waaaaayyyy too spendy.

Auroara, I definitely don't feel that I can't have a girl. And before I found this site I really just felt like my next child would be a girl and I'm not even really sure why. But then I started to think maybe I'm being too confident and decided to look into ways to tip the odds a little more. I really didn't read the dream as meaning (in all my dream reading expertise ) I would have either sex. To me it was more about stopping myself from being afraid to admit I will have some level of sadness if my next child is a boy. I've really been afraid to say it and have been saying that I am swaying for a girl but I will not be sad if it's another boy. I have felt like admitting that would be wrong. But I needed to realize my emotions aren't wrong and it won't change the love I have for any future sons I may have.

So I finally heard from my doctor's office, and it's official...my miscarriage is complete. My u/s showed that my uterus is completely clear and I already know from Friday's results that my HCG is zero. Phew! It's so nice to know things are back to normal.

So many posts,.,...so little time!
The kids are acting up and it is almost bedtime...but for anyone out there...what should I do!

I agree with Jamie...I am a rephresh newbie! I think I used too much. Maybe 3 tubes in a week...is that bad?
Of course, I bd cd 9, 10, 11, 12, twice on cd 14...o day I thought.
So, now I am cd 15...still EW, and super dark super postiive OPK..usually I get these super dark ones on peak day so I think for once instead of oing in the afternoon I od overnight....???
Not sure!
Do I have to bd again?
It would be o or maybe o plus a few hours.
What do you guys think?
It is hard on DH and I with so much to do and we are soooo tired!
We work until the 23rd and we are ready to be home and get things ready for Christmas.

Mocha....just dtd every day until you leave and then add in a mile high and an in law bathroom break...lol!
Seriously, maybe since you are so awesome with the diet (incredible!) and you are swaying after a mc (which is not easy but might sway girl), and you are so careful with your bding I think you have all the right sways so you need to get pregnant! I believe girl for sure for you!

Auroara, are you going to have more than one attempt?
Did I over do it? UGH!
I bet I am not pregnant after all that wonderful bding....(insert sarcasm).

Do I have to go again today?
DH thinks there was actually sperm in there yesterday but it was o day or 0 minus a few hours.
Should I get more in there?


PS: does anyone feel pressure in their butt,...(sorry if tmi but I figure this is the place to ask!) or actually feel and see if it is swollen down there?
I am just wondering if there is something wrong with me. I get wicked o pains as well, the last thing I want to do is have sex.

Thanks everyone!
The moon is new too

Thanks, lemon If I don't O in the next two days, I'll be shocked. My cervix is open so wide a truck could drive through there, I have horrible cramps and I've become an ewcm factory. There's so much that in combination with the cramps, I started to think maybe my period was coming back until I checked just to make sure. There's so much ewcm I think I might have to pop a benedryl tonight in combo with my zyrtec. I hope this is a sign of the super fertility you're supposed to have after a m/c!

I feel fed up! I don't know what my body is doing, don't know when/if I've OVed thanks to weird temps... we're not getting much BD in (well, none) because DH is ill.. I feel like we're out already this cycle before we even had a chance to start.
my OPKs don't even seem to be starting to fade in yet.. unless I've missed that and it happened pre-CD10

[Mochagirl]

I'm sorry, rainbow. I know how frustrating a wonky cycle can be.

If you did miss an early O, did you get any attempts in then?

[Mochagirl]

I can't figure out what's going on with my temperature. Anyone here ever get an ovulation dip? My temp keeps going down and down - that's never happened to me before O - I hope this means O's about to happen!

DH and I had another attempt last night. I still have tons of EWCM, cramps and cervix is SHOW. I'm really praying I get that +OPK today. I used an ic with FMU, but it was negative. I'm going to hold my pee all morning and take a better test around 1.

After all my talk about skipping rephresh this attempt, I'm actually considering adding it back in. I used 1/2 tube 2 nights ago a few hours before dtd because we hadn't finished our FR plan. Now, 2 days later, I'm thinking of using another fingerful to top up what's in there. It's just that I have sooooo much ewcm and even when I take both zyrtec and benedryl it doesn't seem to touch it, so I'm worried with that and without 7 days of frequent release my chances of a boy are still quite high. What do all think?

[rainbowflower]

Mocha if we did miss OV we either got a BD in on OV day or 2 days before (depending when my crosshairs move to)

I used to get an ovulation dip EVERY CYCLE and it would last 2-3 days as well... it was really handy. I haven't noticed it to the same extent lately.

do you normally get a fade-in on OPKs?

[Out of the Blue]

I've been MIA the past few days b/c it's been so busy around here and I have not caught up on posts from the past few days but I just saw your post Mocha, so I'm just jumping right in...

I think you are gettting very close to O'ing...I usually get a dip like that (you can check my charts) so it's normal for me. I really hope you do O todayish! Regarding the RepHresh, if it feels right, use it. My would be to not do a J&D right away if you do use it. You're probably swaying enough so letting the stuff hang out a bit won't hurt IMO. Hope this helps!!!
