Sisterplease, I'm 7DPO today, too. Planning to test tomorrow if my temp doesn't drop. I too have had very sore nipples starting on 3DPO and tender breasts for 2 days now. Normally I very rarely have sensitive breasts, didn't have them with my first 5 pregnancies from what I recall, but last month I felt the same starting at 5DPO/7DPO (first nipples then entire breasts), and AF came as schedule, and I felt quite tricked and deceived.

This month I'm trying not to read too much into my (seemingly even MORE) painful breasts/nips or higher than usual temps. But it's hard! When will you test?

Great, we're in this together!! I hope we both get our BFPs!!! I've actually been testing for the last 3 days, when my symptoms became so intense I thought I must have actually got pregnant last month! However, DH was away, I had a full on af and I know I ovulated last Monday so of course they've all been bfn.
I do normally get pregnancy-type symptoms after ovulation so I'm not actually getting my hopes up as much as I'd like too. However, the sore breast thing is new..as is constant horniness?!?! (Sorry if tmi!!!) these things have never happened to me, ever. But I'm really not expecting to get a bfp, after all we did to lower sperm count and then only bd once, plus this is only our first month trying and I'm 37, so I really need to get my head out of the clouds!!!! It'll just be nice to know one way or the other so I can think about other things!!!

Sister please, the not knowing is so frustrating! X

HI girls, I'm new to posting on a forum but have been reading through all the pink swaying info on here for months & also on the LE diet since 1st Jan this year.

I am in need of some advice at the moment please. I have two gorgeous boys (4 & 2 years old) and am longing for a girl to be #3. I fell pregnant with both boys on first attempt. Hubby and I started trying for a girl last month, without success. I think the diet and loss of 4kgs in 1 month completely threw off my cycle and ovulation date. I don't generally have a regular cycle as it is, but usually only a few days early or over due date. This time around I got my period after only 21 days between cycles, it is usually 27-31 days apart. We had only one attempt TTC, 3 days before Ovulation, and DH has been abstaining for 8 days.I have also been using repHresh, (did half an application 14 hours before DTD too) and I douched afterwards with lemon/water. I did not J & D.
So here is my dilemma. This diet is the complete opposite to my usual diet (might explain the two boys haha), breakfast is also my favourite meal of the day lol. And we have also cut out all meat, fish and poultry.

I have lost 4kgs already, am down to 58kgs now, and being 173cm tall, I don't know how much more I can lose or afford to lose. I am struggling a lot with the diet (as is DH, he is also doing it. No meat is a struggle for him).
So I really feel like my sway may fail if we don't fall pregnant this month. I would appreciate any advice on timing and your suggestions on do's and don'ts if we want to fall pregnant this month. Have I made the environment too hostile for any sperm to survive? How do I fall pregnant now when I really have no idea what is happening with my cycle? I am using and OPK and it came up with highly fertile last month when we DTD. But I am so unsure atm. I was going to TTC more often this month but am scared it will result in a boy. Help please xxoo

[Mrs_Incredible]

I would drop the lemon douche. If your looking for a quick bfp stick to the diet and one attempt as they get the best results. Run this past atomic, she will advise on,this and how to regulate your cycle. Good luck x

[sisterplease]

Hi Chloe, if I were u, I'd start vitex from cd 1-14 as its meant to help regulate cycles. Also try and do the rephresh maybe 24 hours before dtd? Although if makes it difficult if u aren't regular. And stick with the one attempt but do it the night u get a positive opk, not 3 days before ovulation. Hope u r successful soon!!

[chloe_dreamofpink]

I did buy vitex today and been researching like mad as to whether to take it or not!
I would love atomic's opinion too :-)
Thank you so much girls.

I wanted to test earlier so I know how you feel! I had a ton of pg symptoms during my last two LPs, I.e. since I've been TTC. Apparently I don't notice these things normally, but now since I want to be pg I'm hyper focusing on them.

I had the most awful migraine yesterday evening, with horrid nausea, thirst, and fatigue that thankfully knocked me out. Right before my migraine started I had sharp stabbing/pinching/burning pain on my ovaries (both sides but way worse on my right where I Oed from). Thankfully I feel back to normal this morning after sleeping for 15 hours straight. Very hungry and thirsty though since I could nt bear to eat/drink. I often get migraines around O time but never had one late in my cycle like this.

How are you doing?

Chloe, I agree with Mrs. I. Drop the Rephresh/Douche, just stick with diet + 1 attempt.

[sisterplease]

Maiden, I've been having the exact same as you!!! Maybe we're both going crazy?!? Last night felt lots of stuff going on in uterus area and actually felt swelling on my right hand side. Felt like menstrual cramps/wind/pulling, all that. Plus a bit 'tingly' everywhere, hard to really describe, but what I get before a migraine. This morning I've woken up with an awful headache, and just don't feel well at all. Not thirsty like you at all, but very tired, dopey, with very sore breasts. Thankfully haven't gone off coffee or anything, having a cup now to wake me up! Another bfn though this morning, as I expected. Looking forward to normality now to be honest!!! If this isn't my month, I think I'll be taking a break for a while.

I'm honestly feeling pretty down (my temp dropped a bit, too). I'm only holding out hope bc like you, my breasts are still really sore. Last month 1-2 days before AF came my breasts started feeling almost normal again.

I'm having a lot more cramping/pain this morning, for a couple hours now. Right behind my pubic bone in front and to the right, so both uterus and ovary. I even took 200mg ibuprofen- it is that uncomfortable. I never had cramping when pregnant before but I have the past few cycles since TTC so not a good sign for me. I'm just praying I don't see any blood for at least 3 days.

I hope the coffee perked you up! It's possible caffeine withdrawal partially triggered my migraine yesterday so I might try some today.

Hi girls! Temp still up today but I just didn't feel like saving my urine from this morning & going out in 3 degree weather to get a test.I'm just gonna wait a couple more days to see if my temp drops.feeling kind of depressed today.just feel like this month was wasted because dh had to travel & we only got one attempt in.if I am pregnant I have weeks and weeks of worrying its another girl because our attempt was O-2.he left again yesterday to go to Texas & I'm stuck with my extremely annoying father in law until Thursday night
