TTC girl- August 2012

[Shellbelle]

I wasn't taking vitex or sp. I had planned to start this month, but with a pos hpt and bleeding I didn't want to risk it. Im no longer getting a line and had such a horrible, extremely heavy and long period there wasn't much chance that anything survived. I tested yesterday just in case, because my temps are still above last months coverline, but it was a definite negative.

I always have bleeding, too, but this was really awful. Worse than my sch with my last son where I woke up in a blood soaked bed.

For the false surges, it was with a cb digital opk, following the directions. I actually had to buy 3 last month because of it. If you're asking about the vitex/sp thing, I was still getting slight positive hpts. Chemical pregnancy last month.

By false surges do you mean multiple opks several days in a row? I had those with Vitex! And I know other ladies that do too. When you get that surge, hop off your Vitex/Soy to ensure you will O and not put it off. I had an almost surge and something told me to quit and I finally Oed 5 days later!

Ohhh okay. I understand now. I am so sorry, my girl. That's so hard. I had a miscarriage inbetween my boys. Very hard to deal with when it's something you want so much.

I think this month is going to be good to all of us though...keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...♥

No, I mean a positive digital on cd 9 or so. Had to buy another testing stick and got negs till something like cd 12. Then after several more days with no temp shift got another test stick and had negs until cd 15 (I think). Called clear blue and they said that my body probably tried to o but didn't. Also, the way their dig opks work, you really do have to buy a new test device every month. You can get several positive days in a row, but only if your levels are rising. It stores data after every use, and will not show a 2nd positive unless your levels have risen more.

Thank you, Beadin!

Thanks Lassie! I really hope so! I'm going all in this month. We'll be BDing for the next few days and through O. I would LOVE a girl, but at this point in my life, I just really want a sweet baby.

couldn't have said it better myself!

2nd soy month. Last month I had several false surges before I o'd n cd 16.

really? maybe that explains why i am getting positive op.'s and no temp rise yet?
But my CP and fluids would also indicate imminent ovulation.

Vitex gave me tons of false positive's, didn't know that soy could do that too

[Shellbelle]

I didn't, either. I had tons and tons of ewcm from cd 7 till cd 16 when I ovulated.

Hi girls..can I please join in? I'll give you some info about myself...I'm 35 and ttc girl this month, actually we have already tried in July with only one shot 4days before o, but ovulation came later which made it a 6day cut off! So it would be a miracle if I would be pregnant this month. I'm in the 2WW now and can't wait till they end and I get AF so we can start ttc again this month. Now we're planning a 2 or 3 day cutoff...not sure yet and probably a 0+12. I'm still confused about the timing, although I read in many chats that timing is not important as long as there is either fr or long abstinance. So was thinking that we could abstain for about 10days for the 2/3 days cutoff and then have DH release each day up to ovulation and dtd again 12hrs after ovulation. I am also changing a bit my diet starting as from today. I have been on the IG diet till now but started lowering milk and yoghurt intake as from yesterday. I am also adding more veggies cause I was not having any except leeks, occasional spinach and occasional green beens. Now I decided to add some cauliflowers, broccoli and mushrooms to my diet. I am also considering stopping my calcium and magnesium supps and probably will get saw palmetto, fiber and liqourice root for dh instead. I am also not sure whether to use lime douche or not after dtd, we used it last time cause my ph was higher but was wondering if we killed all the spermies. Perhaps next time we will try Replens if ph goes up, but probably it will as I noticed that it goes up every time we dtd. This journey is not easy at all but really really would like to ttc a girl, this is my last baby for sure, can't afford more than two (already got a boy), and I have to make sure that I did my best to ttc girl, and if it is still another boy...at least I would have tried. And seeing you all girls getting through all this stuff, at least you give me some courage! I really really hope we are all lucky and get pregnant fast and have our little pink bundles soon! I keep on imagining how it would feel to hear the doctor say....It's a Girl!! I get tears in my eyes every time I think of it!!

Uh-oh! Help! I used a full applicator of Rephresh yesterday night and now my Ph is at a 7!!! Any ideas?
