January 2WW

Dutchgirl- I will test next Thursday if I don't have any pre-AF spotting that I usually get.

I am hopeful that my appointment is fruitful tomorrow with the RE. I hope there is more blood work to be done and supplements that I can take. I am really thinking about doing acupuncture. It is so much cheaper than other fertility treatments. We'll see! Maybe I won't need anything and will have a surprise BFP....😊

Dutchgirl: I had what felt like something biting my uterus last Saturday and Sunday as well, you had mentioned needles. Maybe that's a good sign and I did ovulate last week. maybe I'm just being symptom sensitive and making things up in my silly head:/

Good luck to you!!

I am in the tww. Ugh I hate the tww lol. We dtd (withdrawal method) cd 8, 9, 11, 12 and I think I may have Od on cd 13. I know chances are pretty small but hoping!! I'm still breastfeeding a lot so don't know if I actually even od. 2dpo today, trying to keep busy lol. Baby dust all x

Thank you True, sage, 2boys and XX! Good luck to you all as well as tarasue and kate (kate, did you actually have a proper attempt or did DH pull out every single time? Have you ever gotten pregnant that way before?) I am excited for you ladies almost far enough along to start testing! How many DPO is everone? When is everyone planning to start testing or will most of you wait until AF is late? Is anyone 9 or more DPO already?

As for me, it's now been a bit over 24 hours since my attempt and I haven't Oed yet (my temp was still very low this am), which I'm happy about. I have been having almost O pain on and off today and 90% of the time I ovulate around 2-4am; I hope and expect to O then this cycle as well, so approximately 30 hours after my attempt - pretty ideal timing! My OPKs today are still positive but definitely lighter than yesterday which also gives me hope that I will O soon and not in another 24 hours (or more, god forbid!).

Within an hour after BD I started having copious EWCM - as I usually do while fertile and not swaying - and today as well I've had more than usual while swaying, though not copiously like last night. This has happened before while swaying, in the cycles when I was TTC; it's like BD activates something, a trigger that stimulates massive EWCM production. So I really think part of why I'm so dry while swaying (which is such a huge difference from my normally soaked state for at least a week before O) is due to celibacy, and atomic's theory about regular/frequent sex swaying blue via more than just sperm count or pH is very likely correct. I find this fascinating!

The only thing off is my cervix, which still hasn't softened fully and has lowered a bit already; my cervix has always been my most reliable fertile sign in terms of pinpointing O, especially this past year while swaying and taking Vitex, both which frequently cause my other signs to be misleading and unpredictable. I have never Oed without having a high, soft cervix at some point before or during O, in all my time charting my cervical state. And the only thing different this month is the strict intermittent fasting I've been doing over the past 2 weeks, and loss of body fat, though my liposuction was almost 6 weeks ago, 2 weeks before I Oed last cycle, and my cervix acted totally normal then...

If anyone read all of that, thank you! I didn't intend to go on for so long...and fx I didn't jinx myself by expecting to O tonight; I'm foolishly superstitious that way. Anyone else silly that way or just me?

GL Kate! I hope you caught the egg! I try to stay busy, but my mind wanders. This time I am not testing unless I am for sure AF is not on the way or late.

FX for more BFPs!!

Good luck maiden I hope you O soon!! Are you close friends with the doner?? (Tell me to mind my own if I'm prying! Lol just curious ��). We might have concieved our girl that way or a day after O with him actually finishing up there. If anyone could get pregnant that way it'd be us lol! He didn't actually go up there at all this time. We will just keep "not trying" with the pre ejac and see!!

[katewantsagirl]

Oh and XX me too about not testing early. I spend waaay too much on pregnancy tests and it's so dissapointing seeing a bfn!

[bre_cooper11]

AF due in 2 days! I took a IC, yesterday, but it was neg. Trying no to test until the 9th-10th. Ugh, the 2ww is winning!

[tarasue]

I read every word maiden!!! Good luck and hope tonight's the night you let loose an egg!!

Kate- if by chance I did ovulate already and we did get pregnant my dh has been pulling out. Only time will tell if the stars were lined up enough and if we were holding our tongues just right to actually get pregnant with an attempt not knowing if or when I O'd and dh pulling out!
