[Out of the Blue]

Crashing....Hello and Good Luck to all!!! Just had to drop in see how you were doing, Blue~ Been thinking about you a lot lately! xoxo

Muuuuuuaaaaaaah!!!! I think about you and your sweet bean all the time! Can't wait for you to see her again today. I'll be stalking for an update!

We had our one attempt really early this morning....

used rephresh late friday night, got a + OPK Sat morning at 9 am, was planning to DTD last night but husband fell asleep early on me and so decided to try this morning (since it is really hard to get him to DTD sometimes).

RePhresh made me really uncomfortable...I don't think my body likes being that PH, I checked and my ph went down to around 4.5 - 5.0, i didn't want to keep checking as I didn't want to disturb things too badly....my normal ph is high 5's, low 6's and I really think dramatically changed the way I feel sexually....I mean I had +OPK but NO interest in having sex, which is really, really unlike me....I didn't even want to have sex, much less O, lol, so hopefully this is good thing, since it is so different than I usually am

Did not detect any EWCM at all the last few days (used RePHresh on Tuesday to get the PH party going), probably some where it's there in my body but had NONE noticable at all.

did not take zyrtec as planned because I was having a hard enough time getting feeling to even do the deed.

I should Ovulate today or tomorrow, trying to tell myself that timing is the least important factor...honestly, I think with the rephresh keeping me things so low ph wise, the sperm are going to have enough obstacles.

Keep your fingers crossed for pink!

Hello Aurora,
That is strange about rephresh..and I think it had the opposite effect on me.
Now we wait right!!!

[auroara78]

yeah, I hate this stinking wait! I did O yesterday so I'm 1 dpo and it's driving me nuts already, lol.

Think I could have been allergic to rePHresh because my body really did not like it at all!!! It made me feel very very dry and things were irrirated down there. Though when we were DTD I was surprised at how "lubed" I was per se, I thought I'd be horribly uncomfortalbe, but I just didn't "feel" anything like I usually do when we have sex...bleh.

Got my FX for you!!! Sounds like a super attempt!

I mean I had +OPK but NO interest in having sex, which is really, really unlike me....I didn't even want to have sex, much less O, lol, so hopefully this is good thing, since it is so different than I usually am

It may be that a drop in your testosterone was causing the low libido (YAY!)...It's one of the low T signs and as annoying as it is, I really welcome it!

Hey, lemon...How many dpo are you? I should almost be POAS time, right?

[Out of the Blue]

AF arrived on Saturday...6 wks (minus one day) after my m/c so DH and I are gearing up for our 1st attempt...
YAY but

I guess, I'm still going w/my original plan...DTD every day from the end of AF - O (if we can make it that long). I'll use a half tube of RepHresh every other morning and a bit of Sylk when DTD. Shallow, missionary w/no O for me (DH hates it when I don't and finds it difficult to perform sometimes lol!). I'll wait a bit before I J&D. When I'm closer to O, I'll drink some Rum Punch for those last few attempts in hopes that I won't be able to do so again for about 9 mos! No Zyrtec, no Crystal Light or low dose Asprin (I'm still BF) and definitely no checking pH! Just making things simple and trusting in the diet and the few other things to help tip us to the pink side. If anyone can spare some pink thoughts, please send them my way!!!

Sounds like a very good plan Jen!
I really believe you´re going to get pregnant with a girl because of your relaxed attitude.
I have everything crossed that you and Mocha will be pregnant by Christmas !

Good luck auroara and lemon!

[Out of the Blue]

Thx, Indira! Mocha and I both really need this! But if it doesn't happen for a long while for me, I'll be okay w/that. I'm just so focused on a healthy baby. Gender and how long it'll take for that BFP will definitely take a back seat...Just praying for a healthy bub (or 2!) this time.

Hoping your sweet little bean is growing strong in there!

Jen,

my husband also has trouble "performing" if he thinks I'm not into it...I didn't fake an O or anything, but I had to start making sounds or acting like I was really enjoying it just to keep him going, although in my head, I was like hurry up, jsut do your thing already and get off me....LOL
