Xx- my last acupuncture appt was 2 weeks ago. She told me IF it was going to make me ovulate it would happen in next 24 to 48 hrs. It didn't happen. But, I ovulated last week for the first time since before November. It could have been the acupuncture starting to regulate my cycle. Either way I will definitely go back for stress relief treatments!
GLAD you enjoyed it!

Not positive yet Tara. I agree with testing twice a day now.

I used DT last cycle and got a positive when wondfo was negative. They seems to be very sensitive. GL! It is super close!

I think Im 6dpo and can barely keep my eyes open today. Also incredibly frustrated at nothing. My nipples have been sore for days, and I have a headache.
Surely I'm not already feeling AF symptoms?!

I've decided we'll start BDing every 3 days starting in the next few days. It isn't ideal for pink but for my mental health and my relationship with DH I think I have to feel like we did everything to catch the first egg. Who knows I might not even ovulate this cycle but I want to feel like I did everything I could...

I think this is smart. When I got back to swaying pink right after my m/c I didn't know when I'd ovulate so we just DTD every 4 days (instead of 3). My attempts ended up falling on O-4 and ovulation day. I didn't get pregnant that month and I blame myself for being too rigid with the timing. I should have added an attempt at O-1 that month (so 3 days apart) instead of making myself wait until after ovulation to DTD again. I have a happy ending so I can't complain, but let me tell you the first AF after my loss was hard and I regretted the decision to not try harder (with better timing) to catch the first egg so much during the past months. GL to you on catching the first egg!

Yes Junie do what feels right to you! That is awesome you even want to bd that much! My sex drive is completely gone still I was exhausted with nerves when trying my first month after my mc. I keep thinking I would miss it.

I am wanting a girl but dtd every 3 days and will probably add one if I ever get a positive opk. Being pregnant is more important than a girl to me at this point. We waited until I had one full cycle after my mc and the second I realized my period was starting I regretted waiting that cycle:/. If you have the ok from you doctor and your mentally ready, go for it. For me I just feel a huge void since the miscarriage and feel the quicker that void is filled the quicker I move on. I will always be sad that that baby never had anyone but me and my husband to be excited about him(we didn't know sex, but my 3 year old named him George). I hate that he will never know the love we had for him, even at 8 weeks. He never got loved or snuggled, just a moms body who failed him, vacuumed and is floating in some bio-hazardous waste barrel somewhere... Sorry if that's too much. But I need to get pregnant asap so I'm not focusing on these awful thoughts!

Maiden I also want to know more about IF. I've done it before but it was a loooong time ago. Do you think it's just as good of a girl sway as LE? Do you still stay within LE limits?

XX - I am Catholic too and this would be a very good fast for lent.

I am trying to do IF as well as LE. Last cycle, except for the first 4 fasting days, I fasted completely or very close (under 100 cals for sure) the other fasting days. This cycle so far I've been eating 300-400 cals on my fasting days, bc I can't handle the Soy on an empty stomach and maybe due to AF, too. I also did 2 eating days in a row, the day before AF and CD1. So I'm not perfect. During my 12 hours on eating days, I follow LE rules except I eat more cals. How many more depends on how strictly I fasted. But the aim is to keep what I eat over the course of 2 days around 2200-2800 cals, so I can eat that much on my eating days. I mostly listen to my body.

I do think that IF sways pink, but I don't know if it does so enough to override what you eat. I think it's possible, and if I'm not BFing, and my first is a girl, I will try eating a boy diet while strictly IFing in the future to see what I get. I do think the LE plus IF is theoretically the strongest pink sway (plus clomid & exercise), so for those who already have multiple boys, probably the LE is necessary.

XX, I really need my computer! I can't PM on my tablet unfortunately. And apologies to everyone for going AWOL, I tend to do that during AF. I did read 2 awesome YA books (currently on the 3rd book of the series). It's like the Hunger Games meets the Bachelor plus a sprinkling of Cinderella. I love YA romance! Especially in any sort of fantasy setting, preferably an epic one.

Junie, I think your plan this cycle is great. Fx you catch that first egg.

3boys, Wishing, Queen & dj are testing soonish, exciting. And many of us Oing in what, about 10 days? Anyone else O naturally late around CD18 like me? I am hoping the Soy stimulates earlier O this month, especially since going off Vitex may delay it. I want to maximize my chances of a Libra DD over Scorpio. Silly, I know...

[maidentomother]

tarasue, I highly doubt your body failed your angel baby. Almost definitely a chromosomal or mitochondrial defect was to blame considering you've had 2 healthy pregnancies. But I completely understand wanting to get pregnant again ASAP and hope this cycle does the trick for you, Junie, and anyone else who has had a loss recently. Though I'm hoping those of us who have been trying for over 6 months see a BFP soon, too. I do think it will happen for most if not all of us here eventually,.

essnce, I hope DH is sloppy with the condoms. My late DH kept delaying kids and I wish so much that I'd just had kids anyway. It is so frustrating how many men fight having (further) children. Don't our dreams matter too?
