TTC pink in October

[heidih1977]

hi ladies will be joining you here to as got af yesterday. this will be 7 month ttc now. although first 4 were stupidly wasted ttc after o. the last two months bd through o but still got bfn. so last month dh took break from lr, i dropped rephresh and took zyrtec three days only. had no ecwm and normally have loads. also we did fr bur since o came early cd 13 (due to vitex) we only got 4 tries in before dtd twice on cd 13. not many attempts i know but still had some hope. so question now is this month do i drop vitex ( not really sure if it makes sense; it makes my cycle shorter and brings o forward) and does dh stay off LR aswell. do we try even less fr and just bd 5 days through o and/ or should i drop cranberry supps and zyrtec?? so many uncertainties and that is certainly not helping stress levels every month or helping me conceive. i am not temping this month either in the hope of staying more calm!!! wishing you all lots of bfps this month!!!!

Hi Heidi1977 I'm not sure that I would drop anything yet.

If you were trying after o you had very little chance of conceiving especially as it is easy to be a bit off with pinpointing O so might have been trying more than 24 hrs after O. That means you have only really trying for 3 months which is quite normal even for people not trying. I know you want to get pregnant asap but don't panic yet - at your age it took my sister 6 months with no swaying tactics at all! Also don't beat yourself up about the number of attempts you get in - I only managed 1 with my last pregnancy

Good luck

Heidi,
You might do better to post this as a separate question on the forums. Atomic will see it & can offer some good advice about your situation.
I agree, something needs to give...you can't get your desired gender if you can't get pregnant.
I've been at it a while now, too...I can completely relate.
Good luck!!

I only took two zyrtec this cycle, and i may not take any if i don't get a bfp this time since i rarely have any EWCM. I don't do any aspartame after O either. I am so anti aspartame anyway since it's a neurotoxin, Its been a struggle to drink it before O!

Such exciting times! I tested yesterday and the day before twice each day (making sure I hadn't had too much water to drink as the instructions say) and all four have had a very pale line on them. I'm assuming that's a positive OPK as I was expecting to O tomorrow. Assuming this is right we DTD last night (so I think that was O-2) and will do again tonight (O-1). Do you ladies think that was logical? DH had been FR for 8 days before the first attempt and has released again this morning. So we're giving ourselves two attempts. I can't decide whether to have another go on O day and give it three attempts but don't want to increase the numbers of sperm too much and sway blue! Tricky tricky. Wish there was more research into all of this!

As the OPKs continued to show a pale line through to CD15 we've just kept on going as I've no idea when/if I ovulated. We've been doing one release and one attempt every day for the two days before and after expected O as I'm not sure when it was! Hopefully the FR for 8 days before this plus continuing to release will keep sperm numbers low, while represh keeps pH low. Gonna have to wait till at least 11DPO to test as really don't know about O date! Excited and nervous now

3 dpo here, and an emotional wreck. I don't know what my issue is!

How is everyone doing? Anyone testing soon?

Too early for me to test but doesn't stop me thinking about it and re-reading the instruction leaflet!

Posted this on the TWW thread, but also wanted to post here.

Well my temps are way down at 8DPO, so not feeling very optimistic. Those getting early BFPs how were your temps? I am assuming high due to increased progesterone?
