Thank you XXforhubby! Since this will be our third round on Clomid, Atomic suggested the e4d plus one attempt at positive OPK. I told my DH a few days ago that we will have two attempts at the end of the month, which he was still annoyed about but seemed pleased we would at least have one more attempt than the last two failed months. Fingers crossed for both of us!

JenC- if you want to keep swaying, then I would throw your DH a bone and start BDing every 4 days starting when AF ends. That way, you are having sex more frequently AND only having one attempt in your fertile window still. If you decide to BD every 4 days, you would BD on Monday and then again on Friday for example. Continue BDing until you get past the latest CD you've ever ovulated OR until CD22.

A bonus is you can ditch the opks! You may want to still temp though if you're doing that to keep tabs on your cycle. I found that my DH is totally fine BDing every 3-4 days and hasn't really noticed the other stuff I'm doing (diet and exercise).

FX and GL to you!!

AF arrived this morning and I am just devastated. I was two days late and I had gotten a faint positive on a FRER yesterday morning so I was really hoping I was going to see a solid BFP in the next few days. I am now wondering if it was a chemical...I started testing early at 12 DPO and since it was negative I had made up my mind days ago I wasn't pregnant but then of course AF had to be late...I've had a 28 day cycle for 8 months. So annoying. And to top if off one of my good friends texted me last night that she was pregnant (on first cycle). UGH.

I am so emotional this morning and DH isn't helping. He is incredibly annoyed with this whole swaying process and is becoming insistent that we need to BD every day in order to get pregnant (which we did when conceiving DS on first cycle). I am going to try for two attempts for this third cycle but if that doesn't work I have a feeling he is going to get even more upset. How is everyone else's DH dealing with the swaying? Mine thinks it's all crap even though I've pointed him to specific studies proving that increased fertility produces more boys while decreased produces more girls. He's annoyed with my vegetarian/LE diet, he thinks I've lost too much weight and am too skinny, thinks I am crazy for taking the Clomid for sway tactics, and he finds my daily hour of exercise pointless. He thinks we have the same odds of having a girl with or without all of this swaying. I feel like it's so easy for him to judge since he's got his boy already. Anyways, just venting.

Sorry af arrived, I feel exactly like you, I am cd 2 and was so devastated when af arrived. It sounds to me like you had a chemical. In my case af arrived at 9 dpo, I did the usual routine of, when af started maybe it's implantation bleeding. Then maybe it was late implantation and the bleeding will stop, before I gave in to the despair and accepted I was not successful this month. My husband is not a fan if sway in ng and after seeing how upset I have been over the past few days he thinks we should just give it all. My three children ( girl, boy, boy) were allconceivex

Sorry my phone Is playing up. Conceived first attempt, my ds1 conceived before I had had a period from having dd, while breast feeding and with an undiagnosed thyroid problem. Ds2 was conceived with one attempt in the fertile window 2 days before o. Now I cannot get pregnant with attempts at o!
Not sure how much longer I can ride this roller coaster of emotion and I feel my life is on hold a little. I just wish I could let go and count my blessing!

I think I'm getting the flu woke up this am and felt so weak. Body aches like when you get a fever but I didn't feel like I had a fever other than that so I thought nothing of it... Got worse in a movie theater when I did start to feel hot and flushed... Came home and my temp is 99.8 if my thermometer is to be believed... It's a crappy ear one so I think it is possible it's more like 100 . Something...I still don't feel all that feverish just achy and flushed but I guess it's cause it's at max a low grade fever? I've got to spend the next 3 days at the hospital with my oldest and youngest cause oldest is having an EEG study done.. Hope today is just weird and I feel better tomorrow

Anyone with boys- were you abnormally energetic before your BFP?

Not at all! Super tired with my son even before BFP

I feel so much like you do! And it's so weird, my husband is a LEGIT scientist (a physicist) and he also thinks all this stuff is silly. It's annoying because he used to really want a girl, now he is saying he would be just as happy with another boy. I am not going to lie. I would be happy with another boy, but not JUST AS happy. I would be happiest with a girl and a balanced family.

My husband also wants to have sex more because he thinks trying just once won't work - even though we DID get pregnant last month with ONE attempt (chemical pregnancy)!!!! Sometimes smart people can act so dumb! Lol. I love him. He's just silly!

I look at it like this: I really do want a baby, yes, and I want to be pregnant soon, but, the longer it takes, the better chances that I will get my girl! I have been quite lacking with the L.E. diet and I am only now starting to exercise an hour every day. I need more time anyway! But we're still trying every fertile period. Just once day before or day of OPK. I figure it will take time to get pregnant and I would have actually done a decent sway!

Keep up the good work! You will get your BFP soon!

Hope it is a sticky bean, it can happen. If you are following purples story this happened to her and I think she is 5 weeks pregnant now. Fingers crossed for you x

I am really hoping that my period doesn't come full-on tomorrow and my test will get darker.
