APRIL chit chat BOY swayers - All welcome

[Princess of Pink]

Good luck everyone trying this month!!

Camping was fantastic, but 11 days with no shower is hell lol. Lucky for fresh water ******s and waterfalls.

I have no clue what is going on with my body!! Got a shock and got a +ve opk and peak on the CBFM on CD13...then -ve by CD14 (so we completely missed attempting at all this cycle, like no chance). I had every symptom you can get that I ovulated....creamy CM the next day. Went to see the RE today and he has given me 50mg clomid. Said my numbers look great, just looks like a slight hormonal imbalance. Then he does an u/s and says my lining is very thin for 8dpo, started saying maybe that was my problem. Then he went to my left ovary and said the large cyst was completely gone which was a big relief. Then to the right and he questioned me again when I ovulated and how I knew (btw I didn't temp at camping just digi opk and CBFM). Then he tells me I have a 14mm follicle on my ovary and he would say I am going to ovulate in a few days which explains my thin lining. WTF??? Says he is sure now that it's all my hormones being out of wack and the clomid combined with monitoring will be all I need to get knocked up. Might actually have a shot this month after all.....long cycle as I'm like CD21 or something today?? He did a blood test just to 100% confirm I haven't ovulated as he said there was a small chance it was a leftover remnant from and old cycle, so will know on wednesday...and gonna temp tomorrow to see if they give me a hint to where I am in my cycle.

I am so happy to have a plan now....TTC boy with clomid...that will be fun!!!

Sorry BabyLee, I have no advice but I'm sure some of the other ladies will. Good luck!! Welcome back PoP, it seemed like you were gone forever. Did you do the HE diet while camping. I'm going to be hard core HE until my next attempt in 3 weeks. Hope I can undo the horrible way I ate last week. Crazy news about your body but that's exciting. I will be going to a dr if I don't get pregnant this cycle because of difficulties ttc after my mc. Plus I'm impatient. I hope you get your bfp this month!

[Princess of Pink]

Yeah I actually find eating HE is easier when we go camping. I spend my whole day grazing on food and everything is carbs and protein. I did eat some chocolate and some of the kids candy easter egg....but the rest of my diet was perfect. Also still managed to do a fair bit of exercise and there is always lots of lifting to do. I carried my 7yr old back from the ****** everyday as my weight training lol.

Babylee, I use the heating pad to bring on AF once I have gotten a BFP. HTH and that is what you were asking about.

What is the hcg diet?

You inject tiny amounts of hcg everyday and eat a really low calorie diet. It's supposed to trick your body to use up your fat because it thinks it is feeding a baby. Not sure if it works, just curious if it would affect how long you need to wait to sway.

[pooh_ob]

Baby lee you would need to find out all the ingredients in the vitamins. In general, things that increase fertility sway boy. But I'd be nervous without knowing for sure. Also, I think it would probably be cheaper to by your own lh tests (opk tests....that's what hormone they test for) and your own bbt thermometer.
PoP it did seem like you were gone a long time lol. Congrats on your new plan! So exciting and crazy to think you could still ov this month. Good luck!

ok if you do that i would say be back on the HE diet for 6 weeks before you sway again. You can lose weight on the HE if you limit carbs and just drink water instead of juice etc.

Welcome back PoP

[afy]

Welcome back PoP!! Nice to have you back and it really did feel like you were gome forever, your camping trip sounded fun! And I really hope this is it with TTC, and you get your sticky blue bean!

I've a question, as I feel like I prob get my +opk on Friday so could I just do today and miss DTD tomorrow ? And do Thursday and Friday and Saturday if needed too! That would be O-3, O-1, O .. If I squeezed in an attempt on O-2 that wouldn't be too much releasing would it? Because that would be 4 days in a row.. Or is it best to wait till I see a HIGH on CbFM

[KikiCal]

I'm not sure Afy but I think skipping O-2 would be fine. My dh is in his 40's so we took a break from O-4 to O-1. I'm not sure if we were successful because I'm in the 2ww.

Has anyone ever experienced implantation cramping or had cramping that feels JUST like af cramping? I'm pretty sure I'm out because I've had these cramps for awhile and that usually means af is coming. I know I had cramps with dd but I can't remember what they felt like.
