Hello all... it's been quite a while since I've been on.

First off...

Congrats to you, Rainbow.

Sorry about your BFN, suregena. I know how awful seeing those BFNs can be.

Amari, any updates?

As for me... I'm just going through the motions everyday. I love keeping up with everyone on here, but I'm still really struggling with my BFN so it's been easier for me to stay away. I'm just trying to keep myself distracted and focus on other things right now. If DH and I decide to try again, it will be in August. Though, at this point, I don't know if I want to try again. My three boys are such blessings, and if I never have another child I will still be incredibly blessed. I'm trying to learn to be content with what I have in my life right now. I don't need any more than what I have now with my hubby and boys. I still struggle with my BFN though. I know that women don't get pregnant on the first try often. I know there are women that struggle for years, and that's not even with a sway. I was so lucky to get pregnant without trying for all three of my boys. I never emotionally prepared myself to not get pregnant right away with this try. I just thought it would happen for me again. When it didn't, I was devastated. If I do ever decide to try again, I really need to take the time to prepare myself for everything, good and bad. I also need to lose some weight. I don't want to get pregnant being as fat as I am now. I could stand to lose 50 pounds probably. But I want you all to know that even though I'm not around daily, I still think of you all often. I hope you all get BFPs and little ladies.

I am now 4DPO today (I *think*...weird cycle....), and I have been cramping like crazy the past two days. Plus, yesterday and today I have been SO tired by naptime that I have had to lay down and take a nap while the kids sleep! That is really quite unusual for me. But, I don't really believe that these are early pg symptoms, because the embryo wouldn't have even implanted by now, so there would be no hormonal changes to cause that, right??

...Hope you've got a little one starting in there...

Oh yeah, and a BBT!!!!!!

Any free BBT charting websites around?

I really do like FertilityFriend! As far as BBT goes, I say take the temps of your Va-J.J. b/c sometimes you may sleep w/your mouth open, which can affect the temps. I'll be switching to Va-J.J. temps after AF is done (if it would ever get here!!!).

Sorry about bfn, suregena. Hope next month is better!!

So, I have a new theory and I don't know if it is even possible. I am wondering if instead of my pain and swelling in the ovaries last week and the ob said that was ovarian hyper stimulation, if that was when I actually ovulated? That is the ovulation type pain I usually have, I had cm, and as of now I still don't have a period and am not pregnant. I did get a smiley on the 15th, but if I really ovulated around the 15, 16, or 17th I should have gotten a period by now. Is it possible to get a surge then not ovulate for that long? If so I am pissed that I missed O yet again and another freakin month wasted on clomid. But the more I think about it the more I think that is what happened.

Hmmmm...could be! I'm glad you've got a theory about what your body may be doing b/c I sure don't, lol. It seems like the more I try to control this, the more I can't control anything...TTC is getting waaaaay harder than I'd ever imagined. Hope we can all get a handle on things and get BFPs from our Feb attempts to make up for mostly bad luck this last month.

V-day will be hard swaing-wise...It's DS2's B-day so there'll be lots of goodies involved. I may make it a cheat day

DEFINITELY make it a cheat day, and have no regrets. Looking back, I'm so glad I gave myself cheat days on all the special occasions like birthdays, etc. Many of those months I didn't get pregnant anyway, and I would have missed out on such a bit part of the celebrations for nothing. Even with the cheats I did have over Christmas, which WAS my BFP cycle, I don't have any regrets - we have to live our lives, even though we all desperately want a girl.

Besides...you just deserve a cheat day or two because this has been an excruciatingly long cycle and you've been doing this diet too bloody long!

surgena, sorry about the BFN

OOTB, how frustrating!! All those BFNs and STILL no AF....sorry to say this, but you're AF is starting to tick me off...she just needs to show up already so the new cycle can begin...GRRR!

Amari, you too are late for your period??? WTH is going on with all this late periods and no BFPs? It's making me hot under the collar!

Katie, I understand about hard to be here when you had wanted it so bad last month. :hug: I hope you do decide to try again in August, or even before that! We love having you around!

Peony, can't believe that short LP! I'd definitely get that looked into so you can sustain a pregancy! We need you to get a BFP soon!

Hope N Dreams, we are one day closer to your attempt!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!! The name is pronounced just like Aurora Borealis, or for another example, sleeping beauty's name is Aurora. It's a gamer tag of mine...auroara78, see the name Aurora was taken in this fantasy online game I used to play, so i named my character Auroara Borealis because she was an enchanter. She wore pretty shiny robes and had a wand looking weapon, LOL. My husband and I met playing that game

It's just become my online name, who I am in the online world. I'm currently using it to play Star Wars online game with my husband. (Once the kids go to bed, his idea of spending *time* together, is playing a game together....so I sometimes induldge him)

I am feeling OK. Will go for hours feeling good then all of sudden feel like crap, really nauesated, headachy. My other pregancies I had an consistent vague seasickness that followed me all around, all day. This is definitely more extreme, when I feel bad, I do feel bad, when I don't, I feel great. I know, I know I shouldn't be looking into symptoms for gender guesses.... /slaps hand

Also, yes, placenta placement left is supposed to mean girl, so I hope it's left, just to keep the hope alive for a while longer!

My chest hurts, they look like they always do when pg. I've had crazy dreams. I " feel" pregnant. I think mother nature can be cruel at times. I won't test again until Sunday. I'm not even sure of when I o'd. We dtd lots of days so I guess I'll wait it out a bit more but feeling less encouraged this morning. If I were only a bit younger I wouldn't feel as depressed. I'm that crazy girl holding the HPT to the window willing a shadow of a line. Just sad all around!

I think we're ALL "that crazy girl", lol! I really, really, REALLY hope you get that BFP on Sunday! Aside from Rainbow, we've not had much luck around here so I think we're due for a big batch of BFPs in the next few wks!!!

[auroara78]

I agree, I think this group is due for a slew of BFPs this coming cycle! Whooo hooo Feb cycles!!

And I totally agree with Mocha about cheat days. They really help your sanity, they are very important to have, esp. holidays like birthdays, etc.

Re: Valentine's Day, I think I want my husband and I have to dinner alone someplace, but it's not going to be on V day itself because of all the crowds. I'd rather go on a different night and celebrate the idea of us together, eating a meal in PEACE! The best V-day dinner I ever had was actually on Valentine's day, we booked it at a real fancy Italian restuarant, and it was a four course deluxe meal, and I had crab ravoilli and that was amazing, and my husband had the most buttery delicous mashed potatoes and the more tender filet migon. The place closed down once the recession hit

Hi everyone Im excited to be swaying again now in Feb i took Jan off and have had really wacky cycles ive just had Af 10 days early!!!Now im starting prescribed Clomid first time which im a little scared about the twin percentage??and kinda bummed my cycle was so early because i will for sure ovulate in full moon cycle ,i know it isnt important but it made me feel better when i was in new moon before..So anyone know when i should plan on bding with clomid i will be taking from cd3-7 do you normally o later than usual?

Did it feel good to take that break? Sorry I'm no help regarding Clomid but it seems many on this thread are Clomid swayers. I wouldn't worry one iota about Oing around a full moon. I know mentally, it's annoying but really I think you're doing so many other things to make up for any boy-swaying affects it would have. to you!
