TTC Pink February 2014

[stephk]

hi dreaming - I personally dont have the stamina for daily BD so I am sticking to the one attempt. Although this past week we have BD every 3 days rather than every 4 as thats just the way its worked out. I was supposed to do every 4 days but not going to worry about it.

Yesterday my OPK was still negative but it was the darkest line so far, so fingers crossed today is the day of a positive OPK and we BD last night so thats our attempt

Laura - i hate the 2WW for that reason, you look for every sign dont you, it gets mentally exhausting but you cant help yourself...

Well, think I'm out. I started spotting last night. Its gone from brown to red. Its still really light, but I usually start to spot at 7 dpo (unless I'm PG). Please don't even say "It could be implanation bleeding/spotting". I don't believe in implantation bleeding outside of a SCH.

Sorry to hear about this greeneyes, lets hope next month is your month.

Ah I've just re read and its the frequency that can change not the amount of attemps.
Think we'll do cfr instead as hubby struggled abstaining x

I just did 1 attempt a few hours after my +OPK. It was my first month ever using an OPK (lines) so hopefully I read it right. LOL

Sorry I haven't been replying much. I'm super bummed about the spotting. Hope to see some bfps from someone else and who knows AF isn't here in could still have a shot...

MY AF won't be here until March 5th or so, so I won't know until then. Sees so faraway. I get super bummed when I get BFN because my cycles are so long that I have to wait until CD 20 to even get a +OPK. Such a long wait.

Mrs_ Incredible!!! How I've missed you but hunny I'm so sorry about your mc I had NO idea!!! Someone mentioned about age difference... My oldest baby brother and I are 7 years apart ( he's fixing to be 20) and we are SUPER close... When growing up there were periods when I hated him lol but the older we get the closer we become... My youngest brother and I are 7 years apart (he is 17) and the older he gets the closer we become too... Now the 3 of us are practically inseparable when we r together (Brother who is 20 is in USMC and stationed in another state)...

Dr wants to do a test to check if my tubes are still open but it will cost ~$2000 plus so we opted to try clomid first... I know I know if they are closed will do no good but we wanted to exhaust all our options before the test... I didn't want to have it because if they r closed then well have wasted money and then have to do IVF but then dr said even if we chose to do IVF we'd still have to do the test... Sigh... So clomid it is hopefully!!

I'm on CD21 and I'm planning to hold off on testing until March 1st if AF doesn't show up. Last month's 2ww was super stressful so I'm trying not to care too much.

This weekend I got a chance to talk to our cousins about how they concieved their daughter after two boys. They said they BD everyday with a 3-4 day cutoff before ovulation and then once after ovulation, plus just really visualizing their desired gender. Maybe that will help someone here. If I'm not pregnant this month I figure we might try things that way next month. Especially if I confirm my cycles are consistently 30 days at that point.

So far we are just doing the one attempt at +OPK.

In regards to sibling spacing my little brother and I are more than 6.5 years apart, there are pros and cons. He and I aren't really close because our personalities are so different but I remember babysitting him a lot growing up so the age gap could be a huge plus for you if it's on the longer side!

Atomic told me to drop alot of other things before dropping one attempt like zyrtec even big o!
Sorry greeneyes for spotting I was super bummed with my BFN mainly cause I was fed up with the diet!! And fantasizing about what I would eat....
Funny story my colleague at work was like how do you eat so much and stay so thin!! As I eat alot in one go like you all !! He has no idea about all the starvation in between.
Arimethia I know lots of women that got their DD from doing that so see how you feel if no BFP this month I started out going for that approach more 'shettles' and somehow ended up doing everything= boy mama hehe
Hoping to hear some BFPs! Xxx

Hi Arimethia - thank you for sharing this. I do recall atomic warning against positive visualisation for pink as it may raise testosterone. It depends on whether you are worried about/trying to reduce testosterone for your sway. I often find myself doing it and daydreaming about getting PG, having a DD then think oh crap I've raised testosterone again lol.

I still haven't had a pos OPK, getting pretty fed up now. I had the darkest line so far on Sunday (but stil neg) so we BD. Had no cm and negative faint lines yesterday and today. Ended up going for lunch with a colleague and had a pizza then a bar of chocolate back at my desk oops. Now have ewcm again.....
