Good to hear from you SweetLily!! I've been thinking about you! I hope you do get your sticky, BFP! Have you ever found out exactly how your autoimmune issue needs to be treated? I really feel that if this can get in check then the rest will fall in line, yk?

Thanks for the congrats! We are pregnant with sweet, baby boy #3 [emoji4]! I'm over the moon, and DH says all of the right things. I'm thinking of swaying and TTCing under the radar when this little guy is 6 months. I'm nervous about having them so close together, but you know how fertility issues go! A lot would have to happen though, of course my DH doesn't want a fourth unless it's an accident (how about a planned accident on my part [emoji6]!). It's so far away that I may change my mind, but I see the way DH looks at baby and little girls. It just makes me sad he doesn't have one of his own, yk?

Morning all! This thread always jumps by a few pages during the night lol!! Twointow I didn't know propped hips is considered a boy sway tactic uh oh lol temp held steady this morning yay and cant wait to temp tomorrow and fx fx fx its spiked! By the time morning comes around you'll have posted your spiked temp fxfx!!

Not a major one... it is akin to deep penetration and sways boy by helping the spermies out by getting them closer to the cervix, if I recall correctly. I am having a lot of right side cramps. NOTHING like the left side cramps I had last week but noticeable. I took a second OPK today and I didn't think it was possible but it was actually darker than the first! Yes, that we both have shifts in the morning. Do you care to share the link to your chart so I can stalk your chart? Attachment 26147

[SweetLily]

thanks boysboys!

XX, glad you are happy about the boy, I always loved my little guys. There's something special about little boys...but girls too! Go for another in 6 months, where you are old you wont regret it!

FX for your shift Two!

Twointow I'd love to put up link to my chart but I cant work out how lol! Will try again this arvy otherwise will post screenshots!!

[twointow83]

Wow, lots to reply to! It always seems to work out that this thread is booming on my busy days and slow on my sitting-at-home-with-nothing-to-do days lol.

Momamia- this occurred to me earlier but I had an appt to get to and didn't have time to post it. We won't know your actual LP *for sure* until you finish an unmedicated cycle, but it occurs to me that OPKs simply tell you that O may be on its way but only gives an idea of a span of time up to 72 hours in which you can O. Given that you shortest OPK determined LP was 12 days I am going to venture a guess that that is likely pretty close to your actual LP since your LP rarely varies by more than a day on either side (for example, on avg my LP is 12 days but I have had LPs only 11 days long and a few that were 13 days). However, Clomid puts a kink in the chain because it is known for lengthening LPs! For example, as I have already said, my usual LP is 12 days but when on clomid before my LP was 14 days. So, with that in mind, I would say you can probably expect around a 14 day LP... maybe even longer. I also didn't have time to really dig into why I said it looked good so far chart-wise, even though you haven't gotten a BFP today. You have 2 dips- 6 dpo an 9 dpo. Either could mean absolutely nothing, or it is possible that one is an implant dip. If 6 dpo was an implant dip, and assuming you are in fact preggo, I wouldn't be surprised that yesterday you thought you say something and today you saw nothing. All tests of the same brand have the same threshold at which they will definitely detect a preg, many of which are about 25. BUT each can vary in sensitivity below that threshold. So, for example you have two tests of the same brand taken the same day with a lower than threshold level of HCG. One may detect enough to show a faint line, but the other may not. If 9 DPO was an implant dip then the line you saw yesterday could very well have been an evap BUT that doesn't mean you won't get a + tomorrow or even the next day. As long as your temps stay up, you are still in good shape. A sudden crash in temps toward the end of you LP tends to be the kiss of death, so to speak, , but not always. Like I said before, a lot can happen in 3 days. For me, my temps tend to do one of two things just before AF. Either my temp will crash a full degree or more in 1 day, usually meaning AF will come that day or the next, or my temp will drop in large increments (a few 10ths of a degree) at time, usually over the course of about 3 days with AF usually showing on the 4th day. No one can predict which way it will go but so far, so good for you. BUT don't panic if you wake up tomorrow and you have a drop. Literally every single one of my preg charts have a dip, or two, between 10-13dpo (all my preg charts are on my chart homepage if you want to see for yourself. Just click on my chart thumbnail in my signature). Charting is not an exact science when it comes to predicting pregnancy before BFP. I have several charts where my temps looked amazing, sometimes even triphasic, and they were BFN cycles and every single one of my preg charts, had I not already gotten BFPs, I would have thought would have been BFN cycles based on my temps around 12 DPO. So the point of the book I just wrote is- don't give up just yet

Taytum- did you ever get results?

Sweetlily- welcome and good luck!! Your hubby would drive me batty, lol! I wouldn't be able to handle it. If it were me, I'd probably sit him down... when the moment is not hot, so to speak, and tell him I couldc't TTC that way. Either we are TTC or we are not. But that is just me. I couldn't handle a flip-flopping hubby, my anxiety wouldn't tolerate it. So, you are a stronger woman than me

BoysBoys- that's not nutty . I wear pink nail polish on my toes, usually anyway right now it's OPI's sparkle polish, and have since we decided to sway girl... and I am not in love with the color pink except in reference to having a girl and pink dresses and such lol.

XX- congrats on your bundle of blue! Glad you are happy about it too!! I know what you mean about hubby and girl babies. Hubby loves kids in general, but they way he melts when a baby girl takes to him (fall asleep on him, smiles at him, etc.) is quite a sight. I want so badly to give him a girl of his own... even though I know she'll have him wrapped around her tiny little finger from birth... which means I'll have to be bad cop lol. With the boys he is the "big gun" he knows if I call him into the "ring" that the boys have been behaving horribly. With a girl I think I'll be on my own lol.

That's so exciting about your darker line, two!! Everything crossed for a spike; can't wait to stalk!

No results yet. Ugh. That was one reason why I did it early, to get same day results. She might update my chart tonight though with it so I'll post if so!

Seriously though, these cramps. [emoji15] Apparently ClOmid makes you cramp like crazy too. Anyone who has taken it a cycle or two had AF like cramps mid 2WW? Aside from that no symptoms. I'm starving, but not craving anything. So that's fun!

Do you use FF? If so follow these steps on a PC:
At the top of the screen (this screen... gender dreaming site) on the right hand side click "settings"

On the left hand side scroll down until you see a "settings" tab and under that click "edit signature"

In another window/tab go to FF to where you are looking at your chart and can add data to your chart. At the top of the screen, on the right'ish side look for "sharing" and click on it. A drop down menu will appear and you will need to click "get code"

Use the attached pic to decide which code you want and copy it.. ignore the HTML codes, they don't work on this board!
Screenshot 2015-07-13 19.44.12.jpg

With the code copied, return to the tab/window that has your "edit signature" page open.

Paste the code into your signature box and save. You are done

Thanks! Unfortunately, the last time I took clomid was over 6 years ago and I don't remember and I didn't do a great job of charting my symptoms So, I am no help but maybe hitme or momamia can answer?! What do the cramps feel like??

[TaytumJ]

They literally feel just like AF. Right across the middle of my uterus. Occasional right side ovary pain still, but what stands out more is the AF like cramps. I don't feel too positive about it; I've heard from several ladies that it's pretty typical of Clomid. Boo!
