I haven't gotten af yet, still waiting.

Pforprincess- sounds good, I wonder if you should do quite so much to reduce sperm though w/ so much releasing, rephresh, sylk j&d if you want to get pg fast? Maybe cut back on some of it?

Did I miss something? Surgena got a bfp? Let me go look...

Hi Girls, Sorry to everyone who got af or is waiting for af ..The worst is waiting when you know its def coming my cycle was 35 days this time it is usually 31, I have a feeling this will happen every time i attempt because i get myself so stressed ( i know its not a good thing) But next time around i am going to have to try and release d/h a few times before dtd.. How bad does that sound??

OOTB, sorry you got a BFN. This girl swaying is hard work. I had such a good feeling about 2012. I guess there are plenty of months remaining though.

Prayforprincess, I like your thinking about timing not being important. However, what you are planning sounds very similar to what pinkin tried in January. I wonder if the FR and the rephresh and the J&D together are all too much to end up pg?? I am not sure of your age, but she is only in her 20s and got pg easily with DS1, so it made me wonder if it was too much for the sperms to deal with.

Amari~ You can take the vitex and saw palmetto straight through starting now until CD1 of March. You can't take at the same time as clomid. I've been on since Mid December CD 1 of February I will stop and my clomid begins! Hope your feeling better.

Suregena~ came to see about your testing? How'd it go?

OOTB~ sorry about BFN, you are among a few of us who will all O the week of Feb 20th!

Prayforprincess~ you had the same thought process as I did. I also was set at first on a one time attempt, and timing. I have totally changed that plan, to mutilple attempts. I agree I will do 4 attempts: day before, day of, and 2 days after the injection. I'd like to hear about your experience with IVF, I was starting to give it some thought.

Jazzers~ I would also use the clearblue digitals (with the smiley) it will pick up an increase you can't miss it overnight that way.

[HopeandDreamG]

Yes, I used to always O 30 hours after a +OPK, but since taking vitex it keeps landing on the same day as the +OPK. And my O day was always CD14 or 15 and now it is anywhere from CD12-17. I just hope now I have realised that is what is happening, I can be a bit better prepared. I will have to chain my DH to the bed in Feb so he is not away when I need him!!

Again, pretty much SAME experience!

Believe me, I want to join you there! Because if I don't get pregnant (if I'm not currently) by February, I'll have to take a break for a bit!

(Because we're flying to the US for Christmas this year... I either have to have had a baby older than 6 weeks by the time we do, or I have to be under 36 weeks pregnant. Timing is everything, eh?)

[suregena]

Oh, it was BFN this morning, but I expected that!

I could only be 9dpo or 10dpo at the latest today.

But we were having a date day so I went ahead and aimed for today as the test day. My husband doesn't want me to test anymore until my AF is due... but... how... do... I.... NOT?!?!?

Prayforprincess, I am not sure if I would use that much Rephresh myself because I must admit last year I had a play around with it a few times and didnt fall preg.. In january I had my real attempt I used it the day before first attempt and then used it again 12 hrs before second. I dont think I would even use a finger full of it before my attempts next time. I will just aim to try and make it my last full app 2 days before o.. I plan to dtd on o day this time. If you use the rephresh right through then i think maybe dont do a Jump and dump ( or wait 5 mins or so) but if you dont use it for every Bd the def jump and dump.. Its just so hard to fall preg as it is I am really down at the moment alot due to i didnt get preg and that i have to do it all again! I hope rainbowflower reads this and chimes in about what she thinks to do with the Rephresh?
