TTC Pink February 2014

[maidentomother]

Beth, I remember your intro post. Are you temping vaginally? Often the temp shift seems more subtle with vaginal temping, and while it's not enough of a temp rise yet, you do have a shift in temps after CD19. I know meds can throw off temps, and maybe you Oed then? It seems like a possibility to me. Are the hearts BD? And your CM was sticky, watery, watery, EWCM, sticky? Just making sure I'm interpreting properly.

I am on CD21, not CD20 as I mistyped earlier, ugh. I think I might finally be starting to have O pain (hope I didn't just jinx it). I guess I will not DTD again as I can affford to keep trying a bit longer. Thanks for your input!

dreaming, I am hoping the cramping is implantation. Have you had that before?

Oh no, dreamingofwin! I hope that's not the case.

[SpottyBear]

Oh fingers crossed for you dreamingofwin, hopefully you're still in with a chance

Waiting for my pos opk now, on cd 13, expecting it anytime. Feeling a little nervous! Good luck everyone, hope there are lots of pink BFPs!!!

Wow!!! Congratulations green eyes that's amazing!!! Praying for pink for you!! I can't wait for you to let us know what you"ll have ) either way a healthy baby is the most important and will be loved either way )) well ladies my Af has buggered off yes!! I am starting to get nervous now as my 1st attempt is this month!! but not sure not If too start it next month because mar, April, may is best onwards.... I don't want to keep putting it off as I am finding the diet really hard to stick too, and I have lost 9 lbs in baby weight since jan, I was small anyway before my baby son was born 4 mths ago, I think I should just get on with it, I am going to try Rephresh but I am sure I did read somewhere that it can cause a spike in ph the 1st time you use it?? Anybody know of this which is why I might do a practice run this month with it, and attempt next month any advice woukd be very welcomed thanks in advance ))

Hey everyone!

So I finally got my crosshairs today and I'm now 3dpo! We BD once (after a 7 day abstain) at +OPK which was on CD13 and then I O'd the next day on CD14. My last application of Represh was 24 hours before BD which Atomic says is good. I had a big glob of EWCM the day of +OPK and took a 4 hour allergy pill 8 hours before our attempt. So I hope that was enough! I did not jump and dump and did have an O, but I think that is fine especially since this is my first month off BCP and I was using vitex and daily Zyrtec and need all the help I can get since we I won't be TTC again till June if I get a BFN.

I got a BFP at 10dpo with DS2 so looks like I'll be testing in 7 days! Good luck ladies!

Oh and today I was super tired and took a nap on the couch from 10am to 1pm! Looked back on my chart from when I got pregnant with DS2 and exhaustion started at 4dpo with him!

TY!! I'm not temping vaginally but have always temped same spot under my tongue, same time, etc. My cycles are always pretty regular but February has been exhausting for me! I don't keep track of other symptoms much bc my autoimmune issues mess with those anyway. I'm more dry everywhere anyway bc of it so CM is hard to measure. Yes, hearts are BD I also take a LOT of meds so that doesn't help either, lol.

I can't ever tell o cramps! Do you track all your other symptoms? Did you already have 1 attempt at +opk? I hope u r having implantation cramps too!

Oh and I'm also 5'7. I was 135 at the beginning of January after gaining 7lbs of holiday weight. This is my highest non-pregnant weight. My normal weight since having DS2 is around 128lbs. Luckily after doing a Whole30 in January and then switching over to the LE diet, I was down to 127lbs on the day I ovulated. So I lost 8lbs which I feel good about.

When I got pregnant with DS1 11 years ago though I was 118lbs and then 120lbs when I got pregnant with DS2. I don't think I could ever get that low again though. And at that time I was just naturally super skinny and eating whatever I wanted. Now I have to stick to a super strict diet to stay at 128.

Hope you are still in with a chance dreamingtowin!
I am 5 6" and have lost about 10 pounds on le seem to be plateauing now.. Was about 134 with both boys when conceived and before starting this diet but usually about 125 average weight and I eat alot!!
Good in some ways as fitting everything in my wardrobe but really low energy...anyone else feel like this? Good luck to everyone testing xxx

I started spotting yesterday, so I took some tests and they've been negative. I think I may be moving into the TTC March group. :-(
