Hi girls :-) I'm ttc a girl this month also. I've been ttc since Jan, had two chemical pregnancies so far, so it's been a bit of a roller coaster ride for us so far. Fingers crossed for this month to work out. My cycles are so off atm, I think I lost too much weight too quickly on the LE diet.
Sending my best wishes to all of you xx

Welcome chloe, so sorry for your losses. Fx for a sticky one this month.

I got my cross hairs today and have finally entered my post O temp range. Supposedly I'm 3DPO now and BD was 4 days before so there is a slim chance, I'm hoping I didn't O any later. DD would be Dec 26th in which case I pray to give birth at least a week early. I don't feel post O at all this month, other than creamy CM I have no signs.

Welcome Chloe.
I am so sorry for your losses. Have the drs given you any clues as to why you have happened to have 2 chemicals so far? What a journey to had to have to go through. xx

Hopefully this month is your month and you'll get that sticky pink bean! Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks girls. Congratulations on bfp mumofsix. Hoping so much for a little pink bundle for you!
And hopefully we can join the bfp club this month also maidentomother. :-)
I haven't been to the doctor. I'm Feb and march, I had very faint positive reading, then around period time, I started light spotting. Then a few days later it turned into heavy periods with a lot of cramping.
I have had two little boys, both times I fell pregnant with first attempt, so at least I feel like the change in diet etc is having an effect.. But I think this month I might need to drop a few things. I stopped RepHresh last month.. and i have introduced a little bit of eggs and some full cream dairy and fifish too. I lost 4kgs in the first few months of LE diet, and didn't have a lot to lose. At 173cm tall, and now down to 57kgs, I think it just shocked my body a bit.
Would love some advice & opinions on what you think I could do/not do to have more luck of bfp.
Xxoo

I'm in the same boat! DTD 4 days before O...I started googling this morning to see what the chances are of pregnancy. It seems like way too long before to have been effective, but the stats say there is a good chance. Here's hoping! My EDD would be Dec 28 if we caught a healthy eggie

Good luck! Angie

angielorna- my ds3 was conceived with a 6 day cut-off. Granted it was multiple attempts leading up to that but still! Good luck!

Congrats on all the bfp's!! Sorry to hear about all of those who m/c. I am still just stalking this thread lol. haven't been on since last week and had to catch up.

Chloe, you could try baby aspirin if you aren't taking it already. Also, red raspberry leaf tea (drink 2-3 cups daily from AF-O) can improve your uterine lining. So both of those may help with implantation, if that is why you miscarried. However, the most likely explanation for such early miscarriages is a genetic (chromosonal) defect, in which case there's nothing you can do. They are quite common so I wouldn't worry too much at this point especially since you conceived two boys easily.

As for your sway, it sounds great IMO! I think adding in the extra fats is good and you can do the BA and RRLT that I suggested, personally I wouldn't change anything else since you ARE conceiving successfully, and most likely it was just bad luck.

Angie, while I'm sorry you didn't have better timing, it's nice to have someone else in the same boat! Our chances aren't great, I think under 10% but possibly more than 5%...and probably the biggest factor, other than sperm quality, is internal environment, especially CM. I did have a good amount of EWCM starting earlier in the day on insemination and for the next two days at least. Hopefully you had some, too (if only just up near the cervix, it doesn't need to be coating the entire vagina or present on your panties etc) and as a result, the sperm survived.

Rosie, thanks for your story! I did have insemination 6 days before, and 4 days before that....not sure if that will help at all, probably not but who knows. I too have gotten pregnant with a long cut-off before, and at least 2 of those times was basically a single attempt. However, that was before I started my sway and back then I had 1-2 weeks of copious EWCM, whereas now I have on a tiny bit for about 1-3 days!

Hopefully we both end up beating the odds with BFP's SOON! 2ww sucks. I had the EWCM the 2 days before and took an antihistimine but forgot the day we DTD. It seemed to have dried up (at least where it was evident, haha). Anxiously awaiting the time to test (truth be told, I already did once, knowing it would be a BFN, but couldn't resist!!!).

Are you waiting to see if AF shows before you test or are you planning to test earlier? I, of course, will test before AF is due. Hoping to hold out until 9DPO (then a few times 10 DPO, 11 DPO...and so on until AF rears her ugly face!)
