TTC Girl - February 2012

hun you do whatever you feel comfortable with,

[prayforprincess]

You are def freaking over nothing. Still totally possible you O'd when you thought, and even if its when FF is saying you still have an EXCELLENCT chance. With all that bding anyway, another attempt might not have counted for much anyway do you have a link to your chart?

You are right. I most likely did ovulate on Friday like I thought. And even if it was Saturday like ff says, one more attempt Saturday morning would have just gotten lost up there with all the swimmers that were already hanging out, and by Sunday morning it would have already been fertilized.
I just wish that o had not sneaked up on me like it did, I am happy with our bd-ing, but I wish I could have been a bit stricter on the diet through o. Not that I was bad, still roughly 1100-1200 calories, under 25 grams fat, 40 grams protein or under, & only eating 2x a day since af -- I just wanted to be a little more strict. I think I am just being really hard on myself. Its like once you get the bfp you can't go back and you question everything you did and was it enough?
If only I didn't want her so badly this would be so much easier.
I thought high tech was emotional and hard, ttc naturally is not too far behind. The 2ww is still just as brutal, only with knowing that you always have next month where as with ht its just over.

I feel like no matter what we do we find something that we could have done a bit different. I'm totally regretting the rephresh action this morning. I cannot bear the idea of having to do this again!! The diet being the worst part.

Regarding your diet in the 2 WW, At that many calories you are still be totally strict. And once its fertilized the gender deal is sealed! and there's no way that a bit looser in cals or any other area is not gonna let the bean implant. Our species would have died out a long time ago!

pfp - atomic has said several times that there's no need to restrict your diet even more around O. I think you had a great sway and should have no regrets.

[Mochagirl]

hope - I'm sorry you're regretting the rephresh. I had many cycles where I did the same thing - used a bunch of rephresh then immediately regretted it. Remember that lots of women get pregnant even though they use a full tube of rephresh on the same day as O, and some even use some afterwards too. I'm sending you some baby dust!

[HopeandDreamG]

Thanks Mocha because I am REALLY REALLY regretting it right now. This is when the bding is counting and I just put up a road block. Wishing I can undue it, and if I release a second egg I decreased the chance of getting it S%#T!!

Well I just took a digital and a cheapie HPT to make sure the injection took: got my smiley and got my positive HPT. Hooray!! Means the injection should be working. I am really mad mad mad that I did the rephresh this am after dtd this am.....want the spermies later this pm and tomorrow to have a chance. I hate when I wish I can turn back time! Ahhhh
should I douche with warm water? will this do anything.... I gotta stop being mad at myself cause I don't wanna stress and delay O (if thats possible with the meds? just not helpful either way).

[prayforprincess]

I think your attempt tomorrow will be totally fine. Many people rephresh the day before and get pregnant. Especially if you bd tonight. That will totally wash some away. When you bd tonight have your dh release deep inside you, that way the sperm still get up there and don't have to go thru much/if any of the rephresh. And then tomorrow do your thing. It will be fine. Like I said, if you have worries then have him release deep up there.

The last thing you want to do is stress. I think you have a great chance. As others have said many have gotten pregnant using rephresh so close to O. I think water has a ph of 7 but the rephresh should counteract that (i think)

[HopeandDreamG]

Thanks prayforprincess~ will have him release deep, which we really have been doing anyway. Still planning on dtd tonight and tomorrow. Maybe I should have an am and pm attempt tomorrow too?
