I would do my last BSD on attempt day and stop weights also. Nothing matters after you attempt, or at least until you O, which hopefully is right around your attempt. At that point, most important to keep your blood sugar level and eat well and take it easy.

Girls, so sorry you are not getting the bfps as quick as you'd like. I agree with 3pnb, after a few tries I stopped obsessing over symptoms because it just made me nuts for 2 weeks. I quit temping also. All I do is opks now. I know it's frustrating!

But do let me repeat this: the sooner you understand that it MAY take a few months, the more peaceful you will feel with the bfns.....I wish someone would have reminded me of that back in the day. And swaying may be making it harder for your body to get pg, you never know. Swaying blue is supposed to make it easier, but who knows. Just consider the extra months as time to keep making yourself more boy-friendly! If it's been 6 months, then we will start to worry. And ya know, I don't know who will agree with me here, but the bd patterns can matter also....especially if you are doing a one time shot. My attempt this next month will be dtd every other day starting on CD10, which my doctor recommended for getting pg fast and also upping sperm count! So maybe reconsider your bding?

Big hugs to you, TTC5 and Cheeky, I know it sucks. You'll get there!!! If at first you don't succeed, try and try again, yea?

The funny thing for me is I SO believed this that I thought we could attempt early just for fun; I really, really believed it wouldn't happen quickly. So much for that idea. I'm getting used to the fact that it happened but there are definitely days I wish we had waited. Anyhow I do totally agree with you though; it is MUCH better to expect that it will take a handful of months.

TTC5 I'm so sorry! How did you do on diet in 2WW this time? Maybe you'll just be even better prepped this time around, FX it happens soon love.

Cheeky at 10dpo I'm not thinking you're out yet! Keep POAS with the best of them!

Layla my girls are 3.5 years apart and I love it too! I think there are definitely benefits to having kids close together though so FX you get pregnant quickly and experience that side too.

Jen I know what you mean about getting weirdly attached to your pregnancy symptoms. FX you have a great appointment Thursday and it gives you SOME peace. I know it'll take a lot more than just seeing a heartbeat at this point, but still... that will ease it some I hope.

Cemas I replied on the other thread too but I still did weights/exercise in my 2ww. But I also have always exercised with my pregnancies; I went for a jog the day before both of my DD's were born. Looking like a waddling hippo no doubt, LOL! Anyhow I think you are safe to continue what you've been doing but would not add anything new. I would definitely stop BSD as soon as you have attempted/O'd.

Craving watermelon (actual fruit, not candy) so that is a nice change, LOL!

[LolaInLove]

Begonia, you are one of the lucky ones, love! But it's better to be shocked with a OHW than expect one, that is what I did the first try. And then the next and the next, and started to feel like something was wrong with me.

3pnb, I know how you feel about the symptoms, I will obsess about that also! I am sure you are fine, though....FX for your scan!!!

[TTC5]

what a bummer TTc...so sorry..but u have 2 more days as ur lp is 14 right?

Cheeky u are no way out yet...

my temp has still not gone up today.....wonder whats happening with my O!

AF due tomorrow yep LP of 14 days

About to test with fmu although dunno why I am bothering now lol

[TTC5]

BFN..

Ok I am going to have at least 4 weeks of getting back on track with supps and diet before attempting again

[3Pink1Blue]

Lola- thanks hun, I'm trying not to obsess but it's so hard. On the other hand my face and back have erupted so I guess thats's a good sign lol I'm hoping in a few weeks you all can hand me a great big "I told you so"

Thanks B, I'm hoping Thursday helps me breathe a little too. I doubt it but I can hope right

Cemas - Stop the bsd as day you get the +opk and yep keep up the weights, it wont hurt the baby and will only strengthen you're attempt next month if there is one.

FWIW ITA with Lola, doesn't matter how quick it happened before settle in that it'll take time. Good news is with each month you'll learn your body better and your sway will become stronger. Set your mind it'll take 3-4 months, if it happens sooner great surprise. If it takes a while, you already knew it would.

[TTC5]

Typical that I can fall pregnant unplanned, while breastfeeding and no period had even returned with DD4 yet now can't fall first or second go timing it right on ovulation GRRR!!

[Tink18]

I have nothing to report just lurking and hoping someone gets a BFP soon! I have been so freaking busy! Hope everyone is well!!! XOXO
