Drama~ Sorry about the BFN, I too wanted to know how old DH is before I give you my opinion.

Oh yes, good question -- DH is 34 and will turn 35 in June.

I would love advice and strategy. Thanks to all of you very much in advance!!

This was from 10am and 12pm at 8dpo. Last cycle the trigger was totally gone by 8dpo, so I am thinking maybe yes its a positive, but todays at 12 is lighter then yesterdays at 12. Well I have blood test on Wednesday will know for sure, and I'll keep testing and see if line gets lighter or darker!

Drama~ We have tball soon , i'll be back on after dinner and activities to talk about ideas for next month!

Congrats Hope! Certainly looks like a BFP - i really dont know much about the meds and the effects, but im thinking this is a real BFP for you, congrats!!

Amari - Im with you on struggling through the 2ww with no breakfast - just try and stick it out, I think i remember AS saying that the low glucose is one of the actual proven things to sway, so if you have conceived a little girl she probably really needs the low glucose! Make up for it by giving yourself little cheats when you do eat. Good look

dramabird, so sorry about the bfn. Maybe drop the liqurice root and the tighties so that your not reducing the sperm count too much? Thats what we'll be dropping next..

nks - stay positive! Im sure AF wont show

[HopeandDreamG]

Dramabird- what about frequent starting cd 1. Dtd at +opk through O. You can even dtd 2 x's a day day after +opk. How many licorice root is dh taking ? I dropped from 2 to 3 this cycle. It stays in their system even after they stop taking. Are you using jellies? Bc I would drop that before frequent/abstain or compressed frequent. Bc it is not even known if ph sways but lower sperm count does!

Thanks lassie but I'm not really sure yet. Used today as a cheat day. I feel guilty already but will go strict again tomorrow just in case!

[HopeandDreamG]

Hope I'm praying this is your BFP!

Thank you!!! I'm hoping it's pink too

[amari]

Yay, hope!!!!!! Did it go neg then +? ARe you so excited??? So tentatively happy for you but I do think this is it, wahoo!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Amari- never went negative that's why I'm not so sure. Tomorrow will be telling. I totally over ate today. Will go back 100% tomorrow through Wednesday when I will know for sure. Thinking all the extra calories today may help move my metabolism anyway and will make it easier to lose weight again (hopefully won't need to!) but really unsure. I didn't eat meat but about everything else. Yikes. I know one day doesn't matter. It will help me b super strict for the next month if need b!
Where r u with your attempt?

Kraisy- how r u?

[amari]

I'm about 2dpo if I actually O'd! I don't feel hopeful, don't know why. but I will try and hope anyways. skipping breakfast, not snacking and sticking to diet for most part but upping cals a bit myself during 2ww, I just need to for sanity and hunger sake!

Hope - YAY!!! That is surely a BFP!!Fabulous news, congrats!
Drama - sorry about the BFN, keep your head up. I would maybe drop the amount of LR DH is taking, I think it affects them quite a lot, particularly being in his mid 30s.
Amari - 2ww sux! Do the best you can. I too read that keeping BS low is important, so stick to 2/3 meals a day.
i am on CD3 and back hardcore on the diet. Ov seems soo far away right now!
