last shot at ttc a dd: tips on tweaking my sway?

[balt0038]

Thank you!! I'm hanging in there waiting to test on Thurs or Fri. If this cycle doesn't work I will make an appt. to discuss progesterone and lp with my doctor. I will update at the end of the week with a bfn or bfp. Crossing my fingers for a healthy March girlie!

Update: BFN this morning. However, my temp also spiked this morning so I haven't lost all hope. According to my CBE monitor I'm 11 dpo today but according to bbt I'm only 10 dpo. I'll test again Sunday if af hasn't shown.

Just read through this thread....I see you no longer need advice as you are at the testing stage but just wanted to say good luck!!

Thank you, Fivebabies! Unfortunately, yesterday's BFN turned into today's AF. But luckily my Dh is on board with trying two more months because my LP is always only 10 days so we basically don't even have a chance for the egg to implant properly even if we do conceive. I will be making an appointment with the doctor and hopefully get some progesterone cream to give us a chance at least. So any swaying tips are very much welcome! I will be doing the LE, vegetarian diet, one bd attempt at positive Opk. Will take Zyrtec around O. Any other suggestions, again, are welcome!

You might want to consider asking your gp for some Clomid. It's brilliant for a pink sway and will help lengthen your LP too. Just don't tell your gp it's to help a pink sway

I agree, Clomid is way way better for a short LP than the progesterone.

Okay, I will see what he says. I don't want to appear like I'm pushing for one thing or the other, and I definitely won't be mentioning anything about swaying! Really, I think the things I'm now doing to sway are things that many people do just normally anyways (eat vegetarian, lower calorie diets, exercise, take Zyrtec). I've cut out all things people wouldn't normally do/take (jellies/pH testing and cranberry).

Why is Clomid supposed to be helpful for girls? I did see that it increased the risk of multiple birth, which makes me quite nervous. The idea of going from 3 to 4 kids sounds hard enough!!

balt0038 - hope it's ok to ask a Q in your thread
My cycle is 22-24 days with positive OPK on day 11, 12 or 13. Is that a a problem? Is that a short LP? I don't think it was any different when I conceived our son...

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes def. don't push for Clomid, that's a surefire way to not get it. But some people are scared of Clomid and push their docs to give them prog support, even tho the data indicates Clomid is far far better for correcting luteal phase issues and prog support may not even work.

We don't totally know why Clomid sways pink but it has been shown to in several studies. I have a big long essay about the possibilities here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...91-clomid.html

It is on the short side but it's not too short to conceive. 10-12 day LP is totally possible to conceive. If it drops below that, or anyone who has a borderline LP particularly of 10 days and has had repeated chemicals, then you should address it medically.
