Sept 2WW

Two: Ugh, that doesn't sound like fun. I hear you on painful ovulation - the last two times on Clomid it has been crippling. Like, I'm starting to wonder if I would O on my own without the help of Clomid. Do you O on your own naturally? Hoping though that you O again fairly soon. Yeah I quit temping during Clomid because I hate how it makes my temps fluctuate. This time around mine got up to 97.7 and then down a bit right before O? Don't know what that's all about. And I hope your O isn't as painful this time around, although I will say mine was still miserable!

I may still temp the next few days since I'll be waking up anyway but I think next week I'll stop. I felt like my temp going up with the Clomid gave me a lot of false hope.

Mommymachine- thanks so much! I hope it's our month too...I'm definitely feeling the frustration this time around! Lol

Yes, I do O naturally on my own. My doc gave me clomid to hopefully help with egg quality (he says it can but atomic says it doesn't so who knows ) and to try to help me O sooner so I can hopefully get preg faster. Our hope is to get me knocked up before the 6 month mark due to a study that seems to show better outcomes in pregs conceived w/in 6 months of a loss... whether that is actually the case is debatable but my doc and I agree that with my history anything we have in our favor is a bonus. My temps are a bit wonky in the start of my cycles but post-O they aren't much for adding hope... then again if you exclude my chem preg cycle I only have one recent chart... last cycle's chart. But it really didn't offer any false hope for me. I got a little excited for a couple days but it was so short lived that it wasn't like I was *sure* I was preg or anything...

So far this cycle I am starting to wonder if I got a placebo, lol. I seriously feel pretty normal... not at all like my other cycles with all the cramping and hot flashes and headaches... I got nothing this cycle Usually by now I am already cramping up a storm so I don't know what to think Also I only had a full AF for 4 days... the first couple days were pretty heavy but not the 3rd and 4th and just spotting since and that's not normal for me so I am slightly concerned the negatives of clomid are taking effect. Which is another reason I am hoping to get the study this cycle... to make sure my lining is adequate.

A dip just before or the day of O is pretty common, even in non-clomid charts. Your temps are a smidge wacky on clomid so I can understand why you might not want to temp post-O. I wonder what it is about clomid that makes O so much more painful than normal?! I just keep telling myself it's because it's a "strong O" or a multiple O... anything to get myself through it without screaming, but I do wonder why it actually is so different.

Fx for everyone coming up to testing!

Well we got the deed done last night and due to o today. I have to say it was the most forced bd ever I was so exhausted and not in the mood at all I ended up propping my hips laying down for about a half hour as I cant help but think that lack of enthusiasm doesn't go a long way towards a bfp. Time will tell I guess.

Forced BD's make babies all the time in the TTC world. By the time I conceived #2 & 3 we had been TTC so long that EVERY BD felt forced. We didn't DTD at that point... it was strictly BD'ing (hoping you catch the difference). And think about first timer's who get preg... we ALL know that for the most part first times SUCK, lol. Not much heat is required in the TTC kitchen as long as all the ingredients are added to the "dish" for you!!

It's funny that I've made a real effort not to obsess this cycle, read into my temps, focus on my body etc yet last night I dreamed I got a bfp on an frer at 8dpo lol guess my subconscious has taken over the obsessing

Lmbo! Don't you just love when that happens. It's like you brain needs the obsession so it's gonna get it one way or another whether you like it or not. Lol.

Yay thanks girls, it's funny the silly things you think when it's go time... Thinking OMG what if by the time we do it tonight it's already too late or what if it's a fake and just a random fertile patch and I'm not going to O soon lol I guess at least the E4D gives me some peace of mind and that I will be covered in any situation...
Last cycle O was day after I noted EWCM. I have only noted quite small amounts in previous cycles too.
Oh well guess will see if the temp shifts in the next few days!

Hi ladies, hope I can jump in here! Bit late to the party but we only decided yesterday that we were definitely going to go for it this month!!!

I am CD8 with a cycle of around 32 ish days, they haven't been regulating having DS2. My LP is usually 13 days so I am thinking I might be due to O around CD20-21 which would be Sept 14/15 (also a new moon - which I don't think really sways but both my boys were full moon conceptions so every little helps lol)

We are currently on vacation in Disneyworld, due to fly back to Ireland on Sept 8th. My LE was out the window for the first week but I have reined myself in a little bit since Monday. I am so excited at the prospect of trying for a Baby and have serious bump envy that right now I don't particularly mind whether we have a boy or a girl - though maybe that's me trying to come to terms with the possibility of getting an opposite. Who knows!!

I have been on LE since May 1st, had two blips of about 10 days each before our vacation however in hindsight neither of those episodes were really cheats. I have not been properly off diet since starting except for last week so am feeling decent about that. I had started exercising for about 3-4 weeks before coming here. Went from 140lbs down to 122 just before we flew out. I think I might have gained a few lbs though I feel very bloated in the heat too. I was contemplating exercising again when we go back home next week - any thoughts on whether that's a good idea or not? We have walked miles almost every day of the trip and the heat has had me work up more than the average sweating with the walking so I'm wondering would that count towards cardio? I wreaking my Finer and Folic religiously at home but am quite hit and miss now on vacation. DH has been patchy with his cranberry too, I want to pick him up LR. Is it too late to start him on it now?

Sorry for the long post and million questions! We were thinking maybe we would be better off waiting til October but then we realised we keep finding reasons to push the sway back and I can't really afford to lose any more weight without risking O so we are just going to go for it and hope we get our (my!!) girl!

Hope to see lots of + tests here ladies xxx
