think I've failed to ovulate :(

{hugs} Yes, this does rather put paid to DTD once on the night of your +OPK doesn't it? How frustrating for you. Good idea to relax and get an early night.

Sorry rainbow you´re so down and that you didn´t OV yet
I know exactly how you feel, we missed an attempt in september because I was away for two days and then DH was too tired, this was so frustrating and depressing, thinking of all the effort and dedication we pink swayers are putting into this.

In July I geared up to OV, ewcm and everything but my temps stayed low and I OV-ed one week later.
So don´t despair please! it will probably come in a couple of days, or you might have OV-ed already and your temps aren´t showing it yet because of winter saving time.

I here you too about BD getting old this way and just becoming a duty instead of a pleasant, fun thing, you should have seen how excited DH was yesterday evening to DTD:-/. I have so much more comprehension now of couples that have difficulties conceiving and now I understand how lucky we really were conceiving the boys on first attempts.

I also lost a lot of weight at first doing the LE diet, went down to 105 in July, but when I started eating more sweets everyday and a little extra fat/protein the weight slowly creeped up. Now I´m a little nearer to a healthy BMI and I´m not loosing anymore on the LE diet.

Don´t feel guilty about the pizza and cookies, that´s nothing compared to your 9 weeks of diet.
It might have been just what you needed to relax and ovulate soon

thank you for your support ladies, got to rush to work so will do a proper reply when I get a chance

[rainbowflower]

well, I had another high temp this morning but I'm still cautious about getting my hopes up! even if I discard the high one on CD27 and add in a few more false high ones for the next couple of days FF still doesn't give me my crosshairs so I don't know what's going on...

thank you for sharing your experience, it's nice to know I'm not alone although disappointing that we have to go through this and miss chances!

I also feel for long term TTCers... I conceived within 3 months both times before, but even that felt like torture especially when AF would show up and dash all my hopes.

Do you feel that the lack of weight loss might not sway, though?

hope we will both be in the 2ww soon

Me too!

YAY for the high temp!
I think FF will have a hard time pinpointing OV for me this cycle because we changed the clocks right before I was about to OV, and my little one wakes up an hour earlier (well for him it´s the same time) and last night he woke up at 4 and 5

No I don´t worry about the lack of weight loss anymore. I didn´t get pregnant on the months I did loose weight and I really couldn´t loose more. I had to gain some because my bmi was under 18 so I was very scared I would stop ovulating and never get pregnant. Plus it was getting a problem with friends and relatives worrying I was anorexic (I really looked that way) and DH refuses to DTD if I didn´t gain some. And I usually have a couple of cheat days in 2ww that gives me a little that I loose before I OV
I think my bodies still thinks times are hard after 6 months of LE, to me that weights more than the lack of weight loss.
I still feel like I´m in girl zone, because my cm and temperatures are so different and I take the fact that it is taking longer to conceive as a good sign for a pink sway.
I´m not always this positive, that´s just because I think I O-ed yesterday-ish and I´m happy I got some sperm in me lol so at least we had an attempt! Then when AF shows up I usually get really depressed and fed up with swaying.
At the moment I´m in peace with my sway even if it´s far from perfect, I don´t worry about what could be better, because now I just want to get pregnant knowing I did a lot to take changes up to 50/50 and that is enough for me right now, just can´t wait to have another tiny baby in my arms

Seeing your chart it really looks like you´ve OV-ed on cd 26.
I don´t know anything about fertility monitors though, is it impossibile to get a high after ovulation?

[rainbowflower]

if a CBFM doesn't detect a peak, it will carry on giving you highs until it does (or until oestrogen levels drop a lot)

definitely think the CM and long-term LE diet will be swaying in your favour! CM has dried up for you?

really really hope I ov'ed on CD26... we had some good BDing around then.

the clocks change has been at a crucial time for me as well! although interestingly the cycle I conceived my DS the clocks changed pretty much on OV day as well, so maybe it's a good sign

rainbow, I'm hoping you'll get a surprise BFP!

When we were TTC the first month, we did everything right and my sway/diet was great. I just knew I'd get a BFP and when it didn't come, it really threw me for a loop. It appears that I never O'd that cycle (which doesn't surprise me b/c DH and I were grieving pretty hard after losing 2 dogs). I had to take a break to recharge and get my head on straight (which did wonders for me!) and then that's when we got our surprise BFP. I had been back on the diet only 2 days when I O'd and went on to conceive. I know it's cliche but it really seems like when you're not TTC, it just happens sometimes.

Hoping this round you get your BFP but if not, it'll happen soon. Hang in there! We'll cheer you on!

[rainbowflower]

I have crosshairs!

OotB - before TTC I felt that too (that we'd get a fast BFP and have a girl - felt that quite strongly) but actually now I'm in the 2ww I really don't think we will get a BFP this cycle
when did you get your BFP?
