This is my last month for OPK and then we are going to do E4D if no success this month. It's too time consuming (for me) and I can't keep track of charting as I hoped. So I'm hoping I get it this month.

This diet (while has been overall great for me health) gets old after so many months.

Yes my diet is not like it was to begin. Been a few sleeks since I’ve worked out, I still do coffee and skip breakfast. I try to avoid meat but still eat a few times a week. So we will see what plays out.

Agreed. I slid a little during the holidays, then had illness that set me back. But still tons of coffee, no breakfast, I gave up working out because my son just didn't do well in the daycare and it's too cold to run outside, I mostly avoid meat but have had it when at a friend's house or had family over.

It gets hard to be as strict as time goes on

I've gotten less strict too Had some definitely not good days over the holidays and the no snacking thing has become harder. I've been swaying almost 10 months now (with a few weeks off after each of my two BFPs) and I just can't stay as strict anymore. Plus I've lost over 50 lbs and can't lose a whole lot more. Although I don't feel too terrible about it... I feel like the cheats over the past month are probably not enough to undo the prior 9 months of hard work, I know my blood sugar levels have improved a lot b/c it's become easier for me to lose weight now than it was before, and b/c I know I've depleted myself so much nutrient-wise & I've had two miscarriages, I kinda feel like maybe my body needs a bit more right now to get and stay pregnant. Ugh - we'll see though.... Still doing coffee, alcohol, exercise (though not quite as much), and Clomid. This whole process has definitely taken so much longer than I thought it would.

BUT - I've also seen Atomic say on here more than once that she's seen the more relaxed sways sometimes be more successful than the super strict ones... maybe because those relaxed swayers aren't being all sway-obsessed (which sways boy!). So maybe our being more relaxed will actually help us all out in the end. And I know Pbn had basically stopped swaying completely when she got pregnant with her new baby girl!! So there is always hope!!

Mummy, so happy for you girl!! Praying for a healthy 9 months!! And that you get your girl!

Update on me: still waiting to O... My temps are still unusually high pre O temps. I took a hpt test yesterday morning just to make sure my 3 day light period was in fact, AF. It was negative... just trying to make sense of these temps. [emoji848] I'm using OPKs twice daily... wondfos are still very light, and Clearblue advanced have been blinking the smiley face for 4 and a half days.

During my first round of Clomid last month, I had a ton of side effects and this time I took Clomid earlier in my cycle and haven't had many side effects at all. I've had just slight cramping maybe the past day or so. Hoping O day comes this cycle! I've been staying on the E4D schedule.

Star that's odd that with your CM pattern and the 4 days of flashing smileys you haven't gotten a +OPK yet. Hoping you get a solid smiley tomorrow!! Are you still having CM?

Urgh, I know! I'm so confused with what's going on... I tried to Google if high pre O BBT is a side effect of any of the new stuff I introduced this cycle-- metformin and pregnitude. And nothing came up. All that I was seeing online were hypothyroidism associated with higher temps. I've never had this issue before! Never even had my thyroid checked bc I never had any reason to. I'm going on day 6 of flashing smileys and my FF app is giving me weird interpretations based on my past cycles in comparison to this one.

Eighme sorry about DS not doing well at daycare, what happened? I’m thinking of taking DD to daycare in a couple months and already anxious about it. She’s so clingy! Leaving her for couple secs and it’s a whole fiasco.🤪 Don’t know how I’ll cope.
