Kraisy- I had the hsg last month. No pain whatsoever. But could b bc it was normal and my cervix doesn't hide lol!
How many months did you take the clomid ?

Good luck Navywife! We are on the same day! FX for BFP's!!

Last night I had a faint line, this morning at 6:30 much darker, had an attempt at noon, and will probably try one more time tonight. My DH FR this morning before work, attempt at lunch and one more attempt late tonight, this is all ok, right?

I am using these test strips that I buy in bulk at Target and it appears like both my lines are really dark with one a smidge lighter, however, I have had all symptoms today with lots of EWCM when I first work and right OV twinges...Anyone had something similar with their OPK strips?

Sorry I haven't been around much, ladies. I've been trying to lay low and not be on the boards too often, to try and relax and not feed into my swaycession. We just finished our first month swaying, and I'm now in the 2WW. Only 1DPO though, so this is going to be a long wait. I don't feel confident that I'll get pg this month though, because we kept our sway pretty strict since I still have some weight to lose. I hope I'll lose a bit more before we attempt next month, and we'll probably be dropping some things then too (not sure what yet).

How did the attempt go Navy?
Hi everyone! I wanted to join you on this board but I will not be doing an attempt until next month (hopefully). Just got ppaf back end of August and O'ed last week on cycle day 26 so hopefully after af shows up we can have an attempt. Been vegetarian since June and started doing the diet strictly last month right after af showed up. Still breastfeeding so trying to maintain LE diet and keep my supply up.
So glad to join you ladies here!!!

I believe 4 months this last time, then I took a break a few months. But if my tubes or tube is blocked, they that would not have helped me at all. So I started it today cd5-9.

The attempt went good. Yesterday evening I went to the bathroom and noticed a decent amount of EWCM so I decided to insert a tiny bit of repHresh to get rid of it. We DTD about 5 hours after I put in the repHresh. He did do it from behind but almost pulled all the way out when he went. I laid there for about 20 minutes got up and went to the bathroom. I noticed some came out then. Went to bed. This morning I woke up took an opk and it is still very positive. I am debating on whether to do another attempt tonight. What do you ladies think?? When I went to the bathroom I did notice a lot of his stuff that was sitting in there all night come out. I am praying some got up there. I am just torn on whether to do another attempt.

I would, especially if you have been doing other things (i.e., diet, supplements, rephresh). Last month I did two separate consecutive attempts, but still had BFN. I was doing everything diet, supplements, so I would say yes just to up your chances.

Thanks! I asked DH what he wanted to do and he said he thinks we should leave it do that one attempt. I guess I am prepared that I won't get pregnant this month. I am just going to pray. If I am not then next month we will add our 2nd attempt.

Navy, I replied in the other thread (which, btw, does anyone know why we have two "TTC a Girl in Sept" threads going?? Makes things very confusing!). Anyway, here is my reply to your other post:

Ladies I need advice/help. So I used a tiny bit of repHresh 5 hours before we DTD... Just one little squeeze because of the good amount of EWCM that I had. Well do you think I wont get pregnant because of it? I am trying not stress but I am fighting with myself on whether to do another attempt tonight or not!?!? PLEASE HELP ME! I obviously want to get pregnant but, with a girl. So if you guys think me doing another attempt will increase my chances of a boy, I won't do it.

I definitely think you should do another attempt tonight. Atomic says that the minimum amount of time between using RepHresh and having an attempt should be 8 hours, but she still likes to see even more than that. I know you only used a tiny bit 5 hours before, but I'd still think you're good to go with another attempt tonight. And the great thing is, the RepHresh will still be working for you tonight (since it lasts for 3 days), but it won't be so close to your attempt that it would prevent conception from happening, kwim? Whatever you decide to do, I wish you lots of luck!!

PS: Remember also, that Atomic says that you have a 0% chance of getting your desired gender if you don't get pg! You have to be able to get pg in order to even have a chance at that girl!

----------------------------

I also wanted to add in that as long as you feel good about the other things in your sway (diet, especially), I would definitely go for it. Also, did you do FR or abstain? If you did FR (and your diet was good), I'd 100% say do another attempt tonight. However, if you did abstain, I would just leave it at the one attempt.

We are going to go for another attempt when he gets home in about 2 hours!
