August TTC a Girl Thread

[HopingForHairbows]

Blue- good luck. Like you said, it's still early. Funny how us swayers are so different than most TTC'ers. We always have a bright side ("Well this gives me a chance to perfect my sway!") LOL

[HopingForHairbows]

Well done bluebonnet.... I don't know how you have the strength not to test! I'm so frustrated. Not only did I ovulate early this month at D14 but today at 9Dpo I have got brown ecm. Last month this led to AF a few days later. But if that was the same this month then AF would be early too! I'd like to think that it is implantation spotting especially as my temp hasn't dropped. But after last month trying to convince myself that is was implantation spotting I was very disappointed when AF showed. I can only assume this diet is messing with my cycle! Do you think I am out?

As soon as I read brown ecm I immediately thought "Implantation spotting!!!" I hope thats what it is. You're not out yet, so don't lose hope!

Me - I think saving my frer is easy when I only have one lol. Sounds very promising for you, I have my fingers crossed!

[popple]

Livethe3 - I am so sorry to see anything but a positive update from you. Any chance of those follies growing and you having a late ovulation? I hat eto think you're out already

Lya- I can only get on at work right now because WiFi isn't being installed in my new house until tomorrow! And it's hard to get on at work because I don't like people knowing about us swaying haha. I really don't have all that much going on though.

Me+4 - still plenty of time for a BFP this month! Good luck!

Shevon - Sorry you are not thrilled with your sway, but YAY for the possible BFP!!

Popple - I have been worrying about my diet also. I am still losing weight but I think my fat intake is almost always over the limits. With my allergies AND being vegetarian it so hard to find low fat options without eating healthy fruits and veggies all the time.

As for me- we had our one attempt on Tuesday morning because of that practically positive OPK the day prior. Now my OPK's seem to be messing with me, as I had an almost positive again last night. I don't know what is going on, but I figure that DH and I will just have another attempt Saturday to cover all bases, just in case I didn't O after that original + OPK. That will keep us in the every 4 days sway tactic, and I am okay with that

Yep, same here with regard to diet - I am still loosing weight although its levelled out very recently as not sure I can loose much more without dropping below a healthy BMI (its currently 18.4) but my fat intake must be over, I don't feel like ive changed my diet at all really (save for cutting out snacks and skipping/delaying brekkie). Least you have being veggie as a positive, I haven't reduced eating meat at all, whoops!

Hey ladies,
I am waiting to hear from my Dr what she wants to do in regards to the incredibly small follies. The clomid I was taking was my first cycle, and only 50mg cd3-7 which should have given me nearly 20mm follies by now. I have been pouring over the internet to see what might be happening but it just seems that perhaps the dose was too small and I am just not going to ovulate this month. But the sliver of a chance I might is still there . Once I hear from my Dr I will know what is next...

As for all you lovely swayers waiting to test... is it POAS day yet????? I would love to see some BFPs!

Blue - It's not over til its over. Just keep thinking positive thoughts. (pun intended)

Holding out hope for longer than we should doesn't hurt us, and 'bracing for the negative' doesn't make the pain of a BFN any easier to take. It just spans it out over a few days. I would much rather have hope and have it dashed like ripping off a bandaid than have several days of feeling miserable before I need to.

[Me+4]

Sorry girls but can I please ask.....for those who have had implantation spotting before how many dpo did it happen, how long did it last and how much was there? know I'm asking very personal information but I've never had it before and I think other girls might find this info useful.

[Livethe3quetra]

The one pregnancy I did have spotting was at about 6dpo and it was on and off for about two weeks. At first there was a lot! I would have figured it was my period if it wasn't so sudden. I usually taper on, bleed, and taper off. And it would start and stop suddenly, also unlike my cycle. I freaked out and tested 3x a day to make sure my hcg wasn't dropping but when I asked my Dr about it she said it was all very very normal. When I asked her why I would spot past the implantation date she said it was the baby 'snuggling in' and that disturbed the lining enough to slough off. I loved the visual of my baby snuggling in close, kind of like how my boys do now on a cold evening watching movies.

[HopingForHairbows]

I have not had any experience with implantations that I can remember Me+4. Sorry.

[essnce629]

I only had implantation spotting with DS1 and it was 3 days before AF was due. I wasn't charting back then so I don't know how many dpo I was but probably 10. All I had was a tiny bit of pink on the toilet paper when I wiped that I would have never noticed if I didn't look. I only had it that one time I went to the bathroom.

AF arrived for me today, so I'm out.
Good thing is I get to try again in 2 weeks.
Good luck every body else that's still in their 2ww
