September 2WW

[sageviolet]

Well, af came, so I'm out. Four more weeks of eating the boy diet. I think we got the bding timed right, my body just wasn't ready hormonally or something.

Hey ladies. I'm not doing too well at avoiding the forums these last few days. I've had a week or two of unusually busy socialising, which makes LE very tricky. I've actually been really proud of how well I've chosen from the menus but I imagine I have still eaten more fat and cals than I've been doing in general. It's annoying as I've been so very very good since starting this diet in April but can't be as good right now that we're DTD. I guess I can but try. I'm out again for dinner on Monday but I'll have a salad or something. Fingers crossed that all the hard work over the last 4-5 months will convince my body that a few fat-rich meals aren't the norm and that times are still hard! I am also finding it frustrating that I don't know when I will O so we have no idea when to try or test etc. I'm still planning on testing weekly/fortnightly but I'm struggling with waiting! I keep feeling like I want to just order a takeaway and drink a bottle of wine but I know I can't do either. I really want a BFP asap!!! Thanks for letting me vent. Better get on with putting my three wonderful boys to bed now. Sending good luck to all waiting!

Good Luck xxforhubby!

Sorry sagviolet I will probably joining you soon with AF.

Hi weeziewoozles,
I am so happy you had the opportunity to vent. Try checking your cm to find out when you ovulate. I was able to determine my ovulation by doing so, and by bbt. I no longer bbt because that's annoying for me. Some women go solely with cm to determine ovulation. I will usually have two watery cm days and then it usually becomes EWCM which is another two full days following a very sudden and abrupt change to creamy which means my ovulation took place a few hours before. I know what you means by wanting a bfp asap. I have been swaying since September of 2013 and started trying as of January 2014 but nothing yet . Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending all of my pink dust your way. I need blue so please send me yours

weezie - so frustrating! I probably would have tons of cheap hcg tests on hand and just take one whenever I wanted to drink a glass of wine. If you aren't pregnant enough to show up on a test, it's still very safe to drink a glass of wine here and there. I need the wine to keep my sanity after all of these months!! I have a birthday party to go to next weekend, and now that I know I will only be 7 dpo or 8 dpo, as long as I test negative I'm going to have a glass of wine to relax (and to throw off anyone suspicious that I might be pregnant!).

yogi- when are you going to test? I've been looking forward to a positive update from you!

So an update to my annoying question about OPK. Thursday was my super dark OPK and yesterday (Friday) I had watery CM and tons of ovulation cramping so I thought I ovulated yesterday . Now today I have tons of cramping and watery CM again so I'm scared I didn't ovulate until today (or won't until tonight). I should have listened to you essnce and added another attempt since our attempt was on TUESDAY and now I'm worried that was too early for a Saturday ovulation! UGH. I think I'm going to go hurry and DTD now during nap time just in case. I know DTD on the day of ovulation makes conception nearly impossible, but I guess I have to at least try!

I thought I wouldn't be writing here since it just stresses me out to analyze symptoms and read about other ladies getting pregnant but I need to vent! I am 11dpo and I feel so pregnant' I'm feeling warm and sweaty, nausea that comes and goes, cramps and so thirsty, exactly like the last time I was pregnant. I did a cheapy test this evening and nothing, all though they are said to be ultra sensitive.

If I'm not pregnant this time I will never read into any symptoms again!

How many dpo do most women get a positive test?

[happy1981]

Oh and I had spotting on 7dpo as well

[yogi&booboo]

Thank-you bluebonnet!
I am 8 dpo and I think I might test 11 dpo. I was doing opks up to date (big nono and & should know better) but they were somewhat dark up to 6 dpo but they've started getting lighter which makes me believe its a no go. I have had having quite a few symptoms lately but the most noticeable have been tingling and sharp pains in my boobs which I never get as I approach af a lot of cramping but it could be like the dh says "its all in your head" so O could just be going nuts lol. I hardly ever have any symptoms what so ever.

Regarding the opks, with me I always have the equal dark opk the night before my cbfm monitor catches my surge and I usually ovulate the night of my second peak meaning the second day on my monitor. So if I am correct you should ovulate 72 hours after you saw the equally dark opk. I use wondfos and my cbfm simultaneously and It has been the same for me always. I hope you get your bfp soon. It never hurts to do one more bd so I would say go for it. Later you will look back and have wanted to make that last attempt. Good luck! & Thank-you for checking in

Good luck XXforhubby and welcome

Sageviolet- I'm sorry I'm dpo13, AF should be here tomorrow. I said I wouldn't test again until I was late but I couldn't fight the urge so another bfn for me this morning. I'm considering myself out at this point. On to October!

Bluebonnet- Good luck! I hope you caught your egg

weezie- I had a glass of wine the other night. I don't think it would hurt anything especially pre-implantation.

happy- it's so hard not to symptom spot! This was my first cycle ttc and I was doing it like crazy. I feel like from what I've read 13-14 dpo is common?

Bluebonnet- my girlfriend had the same thing happen to her so I would TOTALLY have another attempt today, if you can. That is how my girfriend got her girl. She didn't think she would get pregnant either. She was surprised when she got a bfp, she thought she got her son's illness. She was even surprised when the gender results came back girl. She had a boy name on stand by just in case!

Weezie- have a drink and relax. My OB said you can until you get a bfp and even until the second trimester, although I never did that late.

Sageviolet- So sorry!

TigerLily- Don't count yourself out yet until af comes!

Happy and Yogi- keeping my FX for you!!

[essnce629]

Good luck XXforhubby!

Sageviolet-- sorry you're out, but I hope October is your month! Fingers crossed for you!

Yogi-- I so hope you get your BFP this time! It's been a long road! I'll be looking for your update in a few days!

TigerLily-- Stay positive and just think that now you have time to perfect your sway next cycle. A lot of the opposites happen in those who get pregnant the first month when TTC pink. You really want to decrease your fertility for a girl sway, so you increase your chances if it takes a few cycles. Good luck!

Happy-- Maybe you should try a FRER. My FRER was a very noticeable BFP on 11dpo, but my cheapy Wondfo from last night at 14dpo was still pretty light (was much darker today at 15dpo). You're not out yet!
