Star that's odd that with your CM pattern and the 4 days of flashing smileys you haven't gotten a +OPK yet. Hoping you get a solid smiley tomorrow!! Are you still having CM?

And yes... CM was more watery yesterday with some EW consistency. My doc told me that I should O 5 to 10 days after my last pill-- last day would be CD17 and I'm on CD15. Temp this morning was 98.82, still very very high than what it normally is

Eighme sorry about DS not doing well at daycare, what happened? I’m thinking of taking DD to daycare in a couple months and already anxious about it. She’s so clingy! Leaving her for couple secs and it’s a whole fiasco.🤪 Don’t know how I’ll cope.

They had suckers at the front desk and he was allowed to have one, once, in daycare (They typically don't allow it) and that seems to be the straw the broke the camels back. He screamed and cried every time I dropped him off and often had to come get me [emoji58].

So that was the end of that until I am mentally prepared to try again.

I've gotten less strict too Had some definitely not good days over the holidays and the no snacking thing has become harder. I've been swaying almost 10 months now (with a few weeks off after each of my two BFPs) and I just can't stay as strict anymore. Plus I've lost over 50 lbs and can't lose a whole lot more. Although I don't feel too terrible about it... I feel like the cheats over the past month are probably not enough to undo the prior 9 months of hard work, I know my blood sugar levels have improved a lot b/c it's become easier for me to lose weight now than it was before, and b/c I know I've depleted myself so much nutrient-wise & I've had two miscarriages, I kinda feel like maybe my body needs a bit more right now to get and stay pregnant. Ugh - we'll see though.... Still doing coffee, alcohol, exercise (though not quite as much), and Clomid. This whole process has definitely taken so much longer than I thought it would.

BUT - I've also seen Atomic say on here more than once that she's seen the more relaxed sways sometimes be more successful than the super strict ones... maybe because those relaxed swayers aren't being all sway-obsessed (which sways boy!). So maybe our being more relaxed will actually help us all out in the end. And I know Pbn had basically stopped swaying completely when she got pregnant with her new baby girl!! So there is always hope!!

I think you're absolutely right. I've been on if since October so I need to be a little more strict, but I stopped obsessing because it wasn't doing anyone any good with me fretting over everything.

I've lost 7 pounds and am working on losing at least five more! I can say, I've definitely gotten used to not snacking so that's nice!

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Eighme that’s one strong willed lad you have there. Has to have what he wants. Hopefully all goes well trying to get him back. In the meantime I’ll brace myself for worst case scenario with DD.
Star I wouldn’t worry to much, I oed cd21 last month because I started swaying or something went crazy. I’d stick to the cheapie opks. They seem more reliable right now. Looking at them, they’re not as dark/darker than test line yet. I’ve seen some say (online) they got the solid smiley sometimes after 6-8 flashing ones. It’s great that you have the other 2 (bbt and digis) to fall back on for confirmation. (Me channeling my pbn3.How did I do? [emoji39][emoji4][emoji4])

You did fabulous channeling Pbn!

He is a very strong willed... lets hope he will tolerate a sibling okay.

Star usually when I’m nervous about something, or it’s weighing on me... I just ask myself what the worst case scenario is. Most times I end up realising its never that serious.[emoji6]
Right now, WCS is that you don’t o this cycle. It could mean that your body is getting used to the clomid and might take a cycle or 2 to settle down.
Just take it one day at a time. The great thing is there’s progression with your IC opks!! Mine last month I seriously thought I’d oed cd 8, 14, 17, 19,20 and 21! Lol I diagnosed myself in one thread to atomic saying I have PCOS, how should I sway. Made an appointment with GP for a cd21 blood (which I keep postponing). Luckily I was temping and only the rise confirmed I had truly oed cd21. By the time AF came, most people were anxiously waiting for a BFP while I was relieved it had showed.
My point really is calm down, it could just be this cycle or your body is taking a while to prepare. Stress won’t help the situation. I know how you feel. Relax girl. [emoji6]

Thanks love!! I really appreciate all you girls support. This past year and a half ttc has been a whirlwind of emotions. You're exactly right. WCS is that I don't O.... it's not the end of the world. I just need to breathe and let it be. Thank you again <3 xoxo

No worries star. [emoji6]I love the support here as well. Especially because apart from DH no one else knows I’m ttcing irl. We all need a place to vent and offload the pressure. Xx
All the best everyone.
