    that is entirely possible, it does happen. There's a reason why we use the pattern overall and not any one or two days' temps - it's common to have one or two days where your temps are lower or higher and that can throw the pattern off.

    I'm sorry to vent but I'm really down and I don't know where else to turn. Still no temp rise/no ovulation - really feel so lost and sad. Time is marching on and the age gap is getting bigger and I feel like I've brought this on myself. Can't see a way out, as feels like any changes I make to be more fertile are going to sway blue. Spent all this time and effort trying to conceive a girl and it's all for nothing. I'm sorry, I've tried to be as positive as possible throughout this process but I just feel so sad that I took things too far (I really didn't feel I was being that strict but I obviously was). The only way I can see out is to give up on the idea of a third at all and just enjoy what we have, but that's very hard to cope with.

    It's not all for nothing though. Think of it like the radio dial. You just have to gradually dial it back the other direction. It's ok to slowly make those changes over time. I have people do this all the time and they DO get girls. What I do NOT want you to do is hang on and on, refusing to change anything, because you will eventually (and I can tell by your posts that day is coming soon) decide that enough is enough and you will give up everything in one fell swoop. Please please please start changing some things, more cals, more fat, less exercise, it doesn't need to be a complete 180 degree turn, just eat a little more, and exercise a little less and then your body is already working to change things and it will take those little cues as a sign it is ok to get pregnant.

    Onelastsway: Curious what your GP said when you went? I am in the same position, been trying for going on 6 months. Recently started spotting around my periods which are pretty much nonexistent and I don't even need to use a tampon my entire period. I also ovulated 4 days after my period ended this cycle which was 3 days earlier than normal.

    My doctor is sending me for an ultrasound and blood work to test my hormones. I am hoping I can be told that my body is where it needs to be and just need to keep trying and that there is a very good likely hood that having a baby is still possible for me.

    I can't bring myself to give up my sway just yet.. I have thought about it many times but I really really want that baby girl.

    Totally can relate to how you're feeling. Been trying for a few months now with no BF
    Always tempted to just give it all up. Start eating lots and having more treats

    I also sometimes feel like I've taken it all too far and the joke will be on me when I can never give my little boy a sibling because I got gender obsessed .

    Anyway I'm starting to put some weight back on. No good being in perfect pink condition if that also means you're not very fertile

    If anything this has been a good thing in that it makes me appreciate what I have got already. The GD also seems to be far less intense. I feel like I'd be ok with another boy and have even picked out his name. I'm scared that this will all change once I get a BFP tho

    Remember though, ladies - it is not about being INfertile, it's about being less than optimally fertile. Ladies conceive girls every day getting pregnant the first month out. You don't need to be in absolute worst condition and not ovulating, you just need to slightly (SLIGHTLY!!) dial it in that direction. So if you go too far, it is still ok to slightly dial it back towards fertility - it does NOT undo your sway to do that!!

    sorry for the late reply (we have been camping for a couple of nights with no internet) and thanks for everyone's responses. The doc wasn't very helpful and just keeps saying my progesterone was fine when they tested it so I am ovulating blah blah blah - going to check LH and something else but needs to be done day 1-3 of cycle and think I will be abroad this month - although who knows when I will get AF as not sure I've even ovulated yet! We have kept up E4D and I have been eating a lot more fat as been away but still trying to stick to basic rules so hoping body might have ovulated whilst I was away - will check temp in morn. Thank you for the reassurance Atomic - good to know I can dial back the fertility a bit without being totally blue friendly. That's definitely what I am trying to do xx

    I am doing the hormone blood work on day 3 of my cycle and then again on day 21 to test my progesterone. Maybe it's that again?

    The docs are useless, just useless with this stuff.

    Keep on truckin with e4d even if your temp does seem up. 110% just keep doing it even if you're certain you've ovulated. This has completely saved the month for people and not a few times, either.
