Jan 2016 TTC / Testing - New Year BFPs!

[Quinn31]

Nann, I found that testing early made me obsess more and it made ttc much more stressful. Sometimes I cave and test on 11dpo but usually that's it. I read a study that if you don't get a bfp that day, you probably won't.

I've also started acupuncture and yoga. I know acupuncture is usually expensive but I found my insurance covers it. I just do yoga videos off YouTube. I feel like I'm naturally helping my fertility and it relaxes me.

Nann - Sorry you got a bfn this morning. It's not over yet though. And I agree about ttc. I really admire the strength & courage that it must take to keep ttc for many months or years.

Ttc - fx that you get a bfp in the next couple of days.

Tfahn - this is my first cycle after my chemical & so far it is normal. Your situation is a bit different to mine though. I got a bfp 13dpo then 14dpo it was a bfn & af started later that day. Af wasn't even technically late.

Quinn - fx for you this cycle. Really hope the iui works.

I'm cd11 today & have watery cm so my cycle seems to be on track. I wasn't sure if my chemical would throw it off track. Should o between cd14-16. Will start using opk's today.

Long term pink swaying is really kinda depressing. It just grinds me down. I'm very much looking forward to not swaying for my 3rd (provided I have 2 girls first) and if I get a 3rd girl then I'll sway blue for my 4th. That is my plan, if I have time and fertility for 4 kids!

Hi everyone, can I join you? think I may accidentally be in the 2 ww. We were not planning to get pregnant, I have one dd and 2 ds, my husband does not really want anymore but I so would love a wee sister for my dd, so does she. Anyway I was planning to do my research, get on the diet and maybe starting to sway pink in 3 - 4 months put I have the strangest feeling that am pregnant, I am only 8 do but feeling a bit nauseous, tingling boobs but could just be af on the way, I will feel really silly when af shows up now I have posted, I also wondering if it is reading all the ttc posts, it is muddling my mind, nice to meet you all and hoping this is your month! Also am new to gd, I only discovered it 2 weeks ago x o

See this boy swaying is getting me down. I don't eat this much.. And I enjoy working out a lot every day. So it's hard for me and I keep wondering if I should just stop everything. Idk. I normally eat a few snacks a day maybe one meal. And I'm not big on full meals with lots of salt and seasoning.. I could go all day and forget to eat.. So I'm very much girl friendly in my normal lifestyle.. So the boy stuff is frustrating and expensive constantly having to find meals and snacks to keep my blood sugar up and make sure it's hardy and filling. But still healthy enough where I don't just gain 30 lbs before I get pregnant and gain even more /: for me, boy swaying is a balancing act of keeping my blood sugar high and healthy along with working out and burning calories to stay in shape.. But not burning too much so I'm not in a calorie deficit daily.. Just stressful.

Oh and if I am pregnant I accidentally swayed blue with hints of pink, so think it will boy number 3 for me x o

Welcome Girlieplease and good luck! Don't feel silly if AF shows up though as lots of us get all these crazy symptoms and think it has to be the month and then AF turns up, although hopefully it doesn't happen to you too! With my two boys I had a feeling that I was pregnant with them, it is hard to know if it was just wishful thinking though!!

Nann, sorry about the BFN ICs aren't that great so hopefully AF does't turn up and you can test with a FRER in a few days.


I'm cd19 now and don't feel like I'm going to ovulate at all. I felt like I was gearing up earlier in the week and my OPK started getting a line but then the next day it faded to nothing. I feel like the metformin is doing nothing now as last month my skin cleared up so well and now I'm a big pimple face again It's great still having acne issues when you are 36!

Nann, I never really add much salt and seasoning to food so don't do it if you don't like it. Snacks don't aways have to be healthy, I know mine weren't... I had lots of cake, cookies and sugary treats while ttc my boys.

[Girlieplease]

Thanks purple, I feel very confused on one hand excited about potential new baby on the other hand if af does appear at least I can give a proper go at swaying as I may always wonder what if, I agree with others not sure how you guys do it for months, it must be so time consuming and so disappointing when af arrives after all that effort!

That's good to know at least. I just really don't eat much ever. Not cuz I'm trying to be thin or starve myself or anything I've just never had a big appetite. So I guess the hardest part for me is keeping blood sugar high. I'm normally anemic with my lifestyle. And was severely anemic while pregnant with DD. Hard to switch lifestyles haha
