Thank you, 2boys!

Oh and welcome bre, good luck conceiving a little boy. Lots of blue dust around here!

I forgot to say, I have been intermittent fasting (not completely fasting, but every other day I eat only around 300 cals, then I eat about 1800-2000 çals on my eating days). It's the fastest way for me to lose weight and it helps my pain, improves my mood and energy, plus I think it sways pink. I started fasting on CD2 so it's been over a week now - the first week is the hardest - today is the first fasting day I feel up to complete fasting, so we'll see how it goes! I have a lot of experience with IF but never while doing the LE as well, but I'm hoping I'll be able to stick with it.

Wish I had waited to attempt today. The OPK is much darker and the Hcg is lighter. I hate over analyzing everything!!!!

You are still good! FX you catch the egg with a pink sperm!

Hi tarasue. I just wanted to mention my sister got pregnant two weeks after her miscarriage. I feel like it depends on many things. For me, looking back on the last few days before I started bleeding with my miscarriage, I had some signs that now I chalk up to the loss. I felt "off" and really just not pregnant about 3 days before the spotting began. I feel like the pregnancy failed way before I had any bleeding so maybe that contributed to lower Hcg levels and early o? Makes sense in my head anyway. As soon as the baby doesn't have a heart beat the circulation stops between mom and babe and so the levels would begin to drop. That's is my theory anyway.

This confused me?? I have been on vacation for a few days and don't know what this is in response to?

I have about the same timeline as you 2boys. I think I had my dnc a few days before you, it was dec. 12. I didn't have opk tests with me in vacation, but going off cm and cp I think I ovulated this last Monday. Lots of cramping that day too. We are waiting a full cycle before ttc, we did dtd that morning, but dh pulled out. I am kinda nervous:/. My ob said just to wait two weeks after the dnc before ttc again, so we had the go ahead from her.

I haven't been doing anything as far as swaying this past couple weeks, so if for some crazy reason a sperm met egg, the only thing I have working for me is a recent miscarriage. I am getting back on track today! Doing my cardio as I type . And it feels SO good to sweat again!!! Working out is my therapy, being on vacation and not doing anything physical takes a toll on my mental!

2boys I wish you the best of luck on catching your first egg! I went back and read some of the posts from last sept/oct/nov and we have a lot in common I think. I have a 2 & a 3 yr old boys as well.

Xx- I hope your situation gets better, how frustrating and not fair. Don't give up just yet. See a specialist and hopefully they have some answers.

Happy New Year Everyone!!! May 2015 be full of beautiful new babies!!!

Hi tarasue. I had just read your post about being 2 weeks post miscarriage is all. I was getting caught up as I wasn't expecting to be back here again

I am really hoping I get a BFP. It will help me heal and move forward after my loss. I can see why you chose to wait- I feel like I was 50/50 on it and my husband tilted me to do it. He just wants me to be happy and he wants our girl as much as I do, at least I think that sometimes! Probably just so I shutup about it. Lol.
I have cheated a lot during my short return to LE diet and I am glad for it, it's easier on the soul. I was just returning to my running program about 3 weeks before I miscarried and I miss that endorphin rush, but not enough to commit to the cardio I did for swaying. I just can't do it. As soon as I get a BFP I am back to the treadmill! Enjoy your sweat!

XX, are you serious? Most people think I'm crazy for IFing...you really know about it and have done it? I am astounded! Maybe you're my lost twin.

2boys, I'm sure your attempt yesterday can still catch the egg, but I would attempt again in 3 days (but NO sooner) to cover your bases.

tarasue, I hope everything works out. I do believe miscarriage sways strongly pink.

My CBFM is being weird, it isn't asking for me to test and I can't figure out why. I reset it bc as usual I forgot to hit the button to start a new cycle when AF came. So it thinks I'm on CD7 but I'm on CD11. But why won't it let me test? Argh! I can't tell from looking at the tester stick today if it's Low or High. Yesterday I'm pretty sure it was Low but again, I can only guess visually which I know isn't ideal.

I am also using the CB advanced OPK for the first time this month. I had a blank circle/Low on CD10, then today on CD11 I got a flashing smiley! That really surprised me since I usually O around CD18. The earliest I've Oed in the past year is CD16, though I have Oed earlier before so anything is possible. Also my cheap OPKs already have fairly dark lines, much darker than normal for CD10-11.

I always have a 14+ hour fast overnight. When IF, I usually eat between 2-4pm for my first meal on top of my overnight fast. I am catholic, and I started this when I was getting confirmed. I do this during lent, but I now do it while ttcing.

We are lost twins!!!

Maiden- I also got my first smiley on CD11, which was yesterday for me too!!! We must be related, at the very least cosmically related!!

Are you using the CB advanced OPK or just the regular digital?

I definitely think we're cosmically related. I am Jewish so my first experience with fasting was Yom Kippur. The way I'm IFing now, is I fast for 36 hours, then eat for 12 hours, then fast for 36, and so on, always alternating. I do it that way since that is what was most successful in research and it makes sense to me. It means that the majority of the time my digestive system is at rest (at least when I am completely fasting!). I did successfully fast completely the last 36 hours - today is an eating day again.
