Thanks bbb! I'm rooting for you sweetheart, I know how bittersweet it is to watch the cycles go by, the lord is going to bless you! I feel it!

Plasticserenity - welcome! I had a miscarriage in August but with that pregnancy, I had a very clear implantation dip at 9 dpo. At 7 dpo I would def say it's a great sign for you!!!!

M2A - YAAAY for the word "Pregnant"! Definitely confirmed now

BBB - I've had lighter, shorter periods swaying pink, but I also feel like I've just gotten lighter periods as I've gotten older (they were pretty heavy when I was younger!) And I've always had very short cycles even before swaying - as short as 21 days!! Maybe this was just a random thing for you this cycle.

Frankie welcome back!! Sorry AF found you but glad you have more time to work on sway!

So I'm on day 3 of "high fertility" on dual OPK. Bleh. I'm also testing w/ regular Clear Blue OPKs too. On day 12 of my cycle so surge should come soon but I'm getting impatient. Maybe the Clomid will push things back a little. Also - my stomach really is messed up right now. I had a bout of very random (sorry TMI) diarrhea yesterday morning and a few loose stools and stomach pain since then. Not sure if it's a stomach bug or my IBS flaring up. It's likely the latter - I'm prone to IBS and I've been trying to do more fiber & Miralax lately which has probably thrown things out of wack. Ugh.

Anyone have any thoughts on my post yesterday about DH's sperm count and if we should have him release before attempt? I don't know what to do! I feel like 99 million sperm count is pretty high and could hurt our girl sway!

Hey all!! I didn't I realize there was a 2ww board and have been posting on the TTC GIRL on by accidents!! Whoops! Congrats on all who got their BFPS and baby dust to everyone still working on it!!!

This is my second month TTC. Last month we had one attempt at a digital positive which I actually think was a false negative. I ended up having a 30 day cycle that month and a 27 day cycle the month prior. I have been totally inconsistent since doing the LE diet and don't know my body anymore.

This month I used regular opks. I had two that I saw positive. One on cycle day 17 and one on cycle day 19. 18 was negative. Cycle day 17 I only t eyed with fmu because I ran out and had to wait for my new pack to arrive in the mail. Cycle day 19 was fmu and all I could take because I was traveling that day. The day in between on cd 18 was negative with FMU afternoon and night urine all with proper holds. I also couldn't test until cd 20 at night because I was out of town and that was very Strong almost positive and then the next morning was positive.

Very confusing I'm sorry.

After that they went negative and all signs went away. I had good attempts around all possible ovulstion days.

On CD 27 I had some cramping and I was confused. I took an OPK and got a blazing positive like I've never seen. The test line was beyond darker than the control almost black. I've tested three times a day for the last 3 days and they've all stayed that dark each and every time.

If that were a premenstrual surge would t have gone away yet? I am getting BFNs on FRERS. One did have a faint line 24 hours later...but it was out of the time frame.

I'm now CD 30, which is when I got my period last month and I've been cramping since last night. Still no sign of AF. Wondering if you ladies have any insight or if this has happened to you before. I do not temp...yet lol. Thanks!!

[Greydore]

I'm 12 dpo and still no positive. I should definitely have one by now right? And you can be honest, I won't be heartbroken [emoji6]

Thanks abc!!
Wish I knew about dh's sperm should make a new post and ask Atomic!

Eek maybe clomid is working for you!!

Abc I completely missed your post about Dh!! Is that number per ml or total ?

Greydore do.you temp? How long is your lp usually?

Hi blushingbaby! If AF doesn't come maybe test tomorrow??

[ABC.2606]

BBB I don't know if doc said total or per ml but he did say "Normal is above 20 million and your husband's is 99 million", so, I'm thinking that meant per ml. M2A I asked Atomic on another thread but she hasn't responded yet. She and I have both said that I'm being really "control freaky" about the sperm count thing and that stressing is terrible for my sway - it's just the one element I'm really hung up on. Not worried right now about my diet, exercise, I'm not bothering w/ antihistamines or gels, etc. But I think this all stems from the fact that DH and I are just clearly very fertile - we got pregnant on the first try w/ our 2 boys and second try w/ our m/c in August. My tests last month all came back as normal and now DH maybe has a "higher than average" sperm count - so clearly, we're still very fertile! Also b/c of my vaginal prolapse, I have a lower sitting cervix (ie shorter path for the sperm to travel!), I make lots of EWCM, and my cycles are so super consistent and have not changed much at all in all my months of swaying. So I feel like we have to do a last minute reducing of his sperm count for our attempt to up our chances of a girl. Ugh I don't know - I am stressing about this. I know getting Clomid this cycle was a big win, but I feel like it might be more effective if I'm on it for a few months first so I also think that if we do take the approach of DH releasing shortly before our attempt this cycle and it doesn't work, I wouldn't be too disappointed b/c I will get Clomid again next month and that will be the 2nd month on it, which may be better for my sway. On the other hand, I'm sick of waiting, sick of the sway diet & so much exercise, and just want to be pregnant. I also feel like the past few weeks my diet and exercise have been really strong and maybe this, w/ being on Clomid, is really my month to get my baby girl!

Yup - I'm over-stressing right now

As far as DH doing a quick release though before our attempt, there is this study that was done that shows doing that may actually up our chances of conception: Having sex twice within an hour TRIPLES men's fertility | Daily Mail Online So that makes me think we should try a hurry up release this month. I know - from personal experience w/ DH - that it will reduce the amount of semen he releases & thus likely the number of sperm, but according to this small study that was done, even if it reduces sperm count it may actually up the chances of conceiving b/c the sperm will be fresher/more mobile.

[Babybeaublue]

Hopefully atomic will answer soon., I asked a couple of questions yesterday that havent been answered yet either so she must be really busy.
I'm the same stressing out. I'm online 'researching' hcg, trt and sperm count until my head feels like it will explode

[Pbn3]

Abc hang in there! I've had between 2-5 days with flashing smiley so don't be concerned and just think of it as your egg preparing for release for that much longer and clomid is giving your body a really good o!!! I clearly remember my first cycle on clomid and the difference at o time. I got to a point I was very uncomfortable like I was going to literally burst [emoji23] it lasted a whole day from memory and defiantely peaked. The following cycles weren't near as bad so I think the response settled down once it (clomid) was in my system. Not saying you'll experience the same as everyone is different but may be a sign if you start feeling a tightness. As for you dh sperm count, from memory he'd released the same day as you bded your bfp cycle? Have I got that right? If you were wanting to do the same could you have him release the morning you get a solid smiley and have your attempt that night? Or have him start releasing daily now until go time? I didn't read that study you linked sorry but from every study I've read it takes 48 for swimmers to reach maximum health again which is why eod during fertile window is the go to for couples ttc instead of every day which lessens your odds as hubbys supply doesn't have time to renew to max load/health.

Blushingbaby almost all opks bar the Clearblue dual hormone digis cannot be used with fmu as they can result in a false positive. Did your opks come with instructions? Usually the recommendation is to test between 11am (at the earliest) to 3/4pm. Most test between 1-2pm. The fact you had an opk with test line darker than control line is a good sign. Maybe try and do a 1pm test next to get an idea. Opks will stay positive if they are picking up hcg rather than lh however you would have a decent line on a hpt by the time an opk would be doing this.

Going back to have a propee read as I just skimmed before...

Mommy2apples as per our private conversation congratulations beautiful lady [emoji8]
