Huge congrats Has2!!

So sorry Nann

I'm 8dpo. Not going to test until Saturday. Today I've been having some mild cramps. Worried that AF will arrive.

Purple I feel the exact same way! I'm terrified I might actually get a bfp and I'm terrified I wont lol! I'm not worried about my sway anymore though. I've still skipped brekky and mostly stick to two meals but I haven't monitored anything for ages!! I still can't believe I did a strict le diet and strict vegetarian (I think I had meat twice in this time) from march - august!! This is the first cycle I completely let go of the number of attempts as well, I'm 99% good about having another ds as my last child - that 1% will always be the sorrow of not having a girl. I just want to get pregnant now because there is always the chance I may hear pink but not if I don't get knocked up [emoji23] I'm mentally in the best place I've been all year regarding ttc and my not so flash sway and its no longer about pink or blue for me which has been the hugest weight off my shoulders [emoji3]

I'm totally in that same place too. At this point I just wanna get pregnant and not have to wait longer, but I totally get the feeling of being both terrified and excited about getting a bpf or not! I'm to the point where I've done all I can to date, so now I'm just ready to get pregnant and find out if it worked! And if it didn't, then oh well I will love my next daughter with everything in me and just try again later- for me anyways since this is only
Baby #2. And if I never get my son then I know this was meant to be! I have majorly eased up about my gender desire. I want a boy SO BAD... But I'm def more at peace with whatever happens like you said

Has anyone taken clomid days 5-9? I usually take it 3-7 switched it up this month. My temps have been so weird. I'm not even sure when I O'd.

Quinn I think Atomic mentioned in another post that temps while using Clomid are unreliable. I guess it can make them wonky. There's really not enough data on your chart to say for sure but CD14 looks like a possibility for O day with a slow rise. Temp wise CD17 is a possibility but do you typically O three days after a pos. OPK?

So happy for you Signing! FX baby is a sticky one!! More of us need to be moving over to the DD boards!

My friend had her daughter yesterday so now she has her PP. I'm happy for her but sad for me. I keep wishing for a daughter and I feel like she's out there somewhere waiting for me (does that sound weird?) but I'm worried I may never get her. I really want to get pregnant again but at the same time I'm both scared of another loss and of having another boy. I know I would love him just as much as my other sons but this is my last shot. Despite all of that I feel like I've relaxed on my sway a lot after doing it for 7 months. I didn't want swaying to take over especially during the holidays so I'm trying really hard to focus on other stuff and think sticky thoughts. lol

Thanks Ksmom. I was trying to wait until I was done with clomid to start temping because I heard it messed with temps. Next month ill be monitored by the RE so that will be better.

I know what you feel about being worried. My dh would do anything for a son and I can't imagine him having a third daughter. Obviously we love all of our kids but it still feels like something is missing. I look at all the people that have one of each first try and it seems so easy. I want a bfp sooo bad. We've been trying forever it feels but I know I'll be scared if I get one thinking it may be another dd.

I lived a pretty le lifestyle with my girls but had plenty of cheat days (weeks?) and still had girls so I think it's how your body had been conditioned over time. Seven months is a long time!

I def live very LE friendly in general.. So I'm hoping that since my entire lifestyle has changed so I'm more boy naturally now that that will help. Hate that I haven't lost the baby weight from DD.. But maybe it's for the better?? We'll see I suppose. But yes I totally know what you mean by somethings missing. People including my DH don't understand GD.. It's never the children we have that makes us sad or disappointed.. it's only a worry over the children we may never have. Ya know?

Quinn I have taken clomid 5-9 twice and also 6-10. I ovulated day 18 on the 6-10 and cd19 with 5-9 (you would think it would be the other way around)

Anyway, temping on a clomid cycle has always been just as reliable as normal cycles so it is probably right. I think you are supposed to O 5 to 10 days after clomid so it's in that range. Fx for a bfp!

So I'm 2dpo and for the last hour or so I've been having twinges of (not bad) pain after feeling af type cramps around the lh ovary area. I don't recall having cramps/twinges like this so early! I'm imagining in my head that my egg didn't die unfertilised and that its in fact a fertilised egg slowly making its way down for implantation in week or less time [emoji23] oh you gotta love the brain!!

YES. That's exactly how I feel and I think how many ladies on GD feel. I love my boys and don't wish they were girls but I do worry I may not ever have the daughter I've always dreamed of.



Pbn I've always been crampy in the few days after O when I'm pregnant! I've heard it's from the fallopian tubes and uterus contracting to move the egg down and circulate fluids. FX it's a good sign for you!

[Pbn3]

Ooohh I hope so ksmon!! I've felt crampy before but not until 5dpo and after, never felt it this early and it was a pulsating type pain to!! Hence my imagination of a large egg moving through a small tube - only it looked like a chicken egg [emoji23]
