August TTC a Girl Thread

[kitkat18]

[QUOTE=essnce629;627260]So so sorry bluebonnet and Girliedreamz, that sucks! The miscarriage rate with us girl swayers just seems so so high. It's like we try forever to get pregnant and then when we do it's like constant worry about whether it's going to be a successful pregnancy or not. Definitely wasn't like this with either of my boys who were both oopsies and the thought of miscarriage never even entered my mind. And the fact that my best friend miscarried at 12 weeks recently after her girl sway is not helping either.

So true essence! It does seem high and just plain unfair after all the hard work of le diet, pressure ttc etc etc!!

Im crossing my fingers and toes for lots more BFPs and sticky babies XX

How is your friend getting on?

Congratulations Primal!! What great news!! I'm so sorry Bluebonnet and Girliedreamz

Sorry if this is tmi but the last 3 months my cm has changed colour on day 23 of 28-31 day cycle. It is darker than a creamy colour but not spotting and sure enough has given way to AF each month. This has never happened in my life before and sure enough again today there has been the slightest change in colour again at day 8po. So I gave in to my poas addiction...stupidly using an opk as hpt which I have done in the past and got quite a line there. This gave me a little pang of hope so I then went and did a hpt....obviously negative! It's like half of me knows that AF is gonna show but the other half of me is trying to convince myself that there is hope!
This is our 4th month of ttc and I'm getting really frustrated now. It has never taken this long in the past...I'm sure the le diet is making me a hostile environment in many ways!
Just to top it off Prince William and Kate have announced their pregnancy and there was only a couple of weeks between us last time! Grrrr
Thanks for listening girls...I'm doing my own head in with my lack of patience and reading too much into all my signs.

How is your friend getting on?

Thanks for asking! She had her D&C in July, and even though she had a bunch of issues afterwards she still ended up getting a period 4 weeks later and 14 days after that she ovulated! They weren't able to catch the first egg (although they tried), so she's on to cycle #2 now. She's just doing a very light sway this time around-- skipping breakfast, no snacking, fiber and cinnamon for her, and OLE for her DH. She's just very glad that her body went back to normal fairly quickly as she was sure it would be 3+ months before her first AF.

Me+4 I understand your frustration. Fingers crossed that we both get our BFPs soon. I would stay away from using the OPKs as HPTs after my experiences. I had a blaring OPK two days before AF was due two cycles ago when I knew for sure I most likely wasn't pregnant (was back on the mini pill that cycle) and then when I got pregnant with DS2 I had negative OPKs on 10 and 12dpo even though I had already gotten BFPs on those days using the same urine. They just didn't work for me.

Oh Me+4 the waiting stinks doesn't it? It took me 5 cycles this time too. Hang in there. Xoxo

Me+4 I was a bit sad to hear about Kate also (maybe only 6 weeks preg at the moment? they have said she isnt at the 12 week mark only early days), if my FET had worked we might have been due date buddies, now everytime I hear about I think it could have been me to and I would have been oh so happy too...

I think I may have a BFP? I'm 9dpo.

I see a line!! Congrats!!

[Me+4]
