January 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

[ABC.2606]

I know how you feel girlswaylondon. I’m overthinking things as well.
Anyone swaying blue? Boy mums, feel free to give me all the tips- I know there’s a whole thread on it...[emoji4]

Filzma w/ my first boy, we BD'd the day before O and the night of O day, I think, and so might have only had 1 viable attempt. However everything else about my lifestyle was boy-friendly - ate TONS of breakfast cereal, lots of calories/nutrients, exercised sporadically, and had gained about 15 lbs in the months leading up to conception. Also, we used Pre Seed and I naturally make a lot of EWCM. W/ my 2nd I was still eating a lot/ no cereal/ no prenatals (folate, calcium and magnesium supplements only), and was carrying baby weight still from my first. With him we BD-d 5 or 6 days in a row through O day. So both times I had lots of boy-friendly elements to my lifestyle!

Noemi, Atomic told me to go to e4d for sure after 3 months 2 attempt, maybe you could too?

With my boy we had a fluke BD after what I thought was our fertile period. Maybe I O'd late. Strangely only one attempt. Our schedules didn't match up. BD was from behind. Chinese Lunar calendar wrong. I was doing a challenge group trying to lose weight and eating low calorie, but leading up to that month was over indulging on a Brazilian honeymoon so LOTS of red meat. But for the two previous weeks, drinking shakeology and eating very healthy. Working night shift so little good sleep. Wasn't drinking any alcohol during challenge. No soda. Eating lots of fruit.

^^that was from what I remembered.

Filzma... I have 2 boys... the only thing I can think of that I've changed from my normal diet is red meats-- I ate a lot of steak, hamburgers etc when I got pregnant with both of my boys.. and we dtd on O day. I don't consume dairy at all (I have an intolerance)

I just wanted to chime in on this too and say I had a VERY boy friendly lifestyle. I ate a lot of cereal/granola bars. Ate every three hours. Lots of meat, every dinner was meat based with a vegetable. Exercise if I felt like it (rarely). Snacking in excess and wasn't tracking anything. We BD'D a lot and I wasn't tracking anything to know when ovulation occurred.

Mtolbert I sent you a friend request on here is that what you meant? Or did you mean Facebook? Ugh, your insurance wont cover the ultrasounds? That sucks! Does she want you to do one per cycle around O? I'm sorry your doc isn't easier to stay in contact with - that would drive me nuts! Hopefully this is your BFP cycle!!

Robin eeek can you post your faint lines? 9/10 dpo is still early!!!

Star that sounds positive that your doctor was able to make a diagnosis and you can now get the treatment you need! FX that you get a BFP and a girl!!!

So Filzma is CD9, mtolbert is CD4, girlswaylondon is CD4/5, Star is CD8, mwilson is 8/9 dpo, Robin is 9/10 dpo, and GirlSwayHGMama is 9/10 dpo? Who else am I missing? Eighme and Noemi - what days are you on? You all are waaaaay further along than me as I'm still waiting for AF to start

Pbn I've had that same view that no big parties until school age, although I guess we may break down and do a party for my oldest who turns 5 at the end of the month (which means I need to start planning like yesterday haha!). Just a party at our home w/ family and a few of his school friends. Ugh the whole party planning for a kid thing just seems like so much work! That's awesome that you will have two kids close together!! January birthdays are fun too My son's birthday always gives me something to look forward to after all the excitement of the holidays is over.

ABC, I am CD7!

Thank you so much ladies! This will keep me going. I feel really different this time ttc, my body feels heavier and nutrient dense if that makes any sense at all [emoji23] Just want to refocus myself and efforts on my goal. Sometimes I find myself slipping back to default.[emoji17] But here’s hoping this is all our month [emoji120][emoji177]

Feeling out. Negative test this morning, ff says I’m either 10/11 dpo. So probably out again unless implanted late or o’d late. But not feeling optimistic. Thought with going every 4 days I’d have all bases covered. Not sure what I’m doing wrong since my first two were so easy.

My temps have been wonky... like more wonky than what it was first round. High temps! I'm not sure what's going on!

Feeling the exact same. I'm 9dpo today and it was as negative as it can be. I think I'll hold out testing the FRER.
