Side note- I have now gone per 3x within the past hour. I have the worst head cold along with aches and a runny nose.

Taylor- I'm very familiar with the slim fast diet... And no offense hun- but that stuff is horrible for u if ur trying to drop a few kgs. I've had to watch my weight basically all of my life, dieted, and even had weightless surgery. Slim fast is loaded with sugar. If u want to drop a few kgs- use a different shake. If u have a gnc in the uk- there's a protein shake called wheybolic extreme 60- and has I believe 60g of protein per serving- and only 2g of sugar. Basically you want more protein as it makes you feel full longer. Hope that helped. Also the taste isn't bad- its similar to chocolate milk.

I'm feeling so down today. The month of February marks 2 years (26 cycles) TTC. I'm really giving up hope and I don't know what to do. With my first pregnancy my dr. missed an ectopic pregnancy which should not have happened. I lost a tube. I did have one child 1 year after and just can't get pregnant again. I was on 5 months of clomid, and have had 1 failed IUI. I just want to cry. I know so many others are going through the same or worse situations, I just felt like I needed to vent.

I think I'm using TTC as an excuse to stuff my face with crap. I've been keeping a constant supply of chocolate and baked goods at work and I feel like I'm eating all day. I'm justifying it in my head by saying 'Well if I *may* be pregnant, what's the point of stopping now if I'm gonna soon start gaining weight anyway?' and then tell myself that if AF arrives I'll start eating better and exercise and get 5 or 10 pounds off by next month. Yeah right. Didn't happen last month, didn't happen the month before, and it probably won't happen now!

My temp had been above the coverline 8 out of 11 days and I'm on CD 11 now so I was really freaking out that I have some big fertility issues then I changed thermometers and am finding my temp to be a lot lower, wondering if my thermometer was on the fritz?

Sorry if you saw my earlier post, I had my CDs mixed up.. I O'd on CD 14 - BD'd on CD 11, CD 13, CD 15, and CD 16. Doc told us to stick to every other day this time around and it KILLED me not to BD every day.. I'm just so terrified we'd miss the egg... especially since we didn't BD on actual O date.. I guess we'll see! I'm going to try to hold out on testing again until Mon - that's when AF is supposed to arrive. Tick tock tick tock....

weber3 - 16 days ago.
CD 11 here and was pretty discouraged to not get pregnant last cycle and began grieving my m/c again. Now I am not going to try very hard, bd once a week, maybe around day 14 cause I usually o on 16 and hope for the best, I don't want a big letdown again like last time.

dmmarinewife - 16 days ago.
Is it sat already? So that way I can test and know if I have a bfp or await af's arrival...

SamplingNo2 - 16 days ago.
babylovejenn - it's not over till AF shows her ugly face! Aside from total fatigue, I had no symptoms with my first either, until about 8 weeks when the morning sickness started. I'm pretty sure my hubby and I had our BD timing right this month (BD on CD9, CD10, and CD12, and O'd on CD12 - now I'm wishing we BD'd on CD11 too), but whether we were successful or not remains to be seen. Hopefully some of us will see some BFP's soon!!

MrsMLCMom - 16 days ago.
Trying to stay positive but all signs point to the fact that my body hasn't recovered from the MC. CD18 and still no increase in bbt. Before the MC my cycle was only 26 days. Not planning on a bfp this month, so now anxious for AF so I can start to try again. Rachel1201, how are you doing?

babylovejenn - 16 days ago.
agummybear - Yes, it's possible to get more than one positive opk - but everything I've read says to go off the first positive you get. After your first positive, your egg should release within 12-36 hours (or something close to that). This last cycle, I had two positive opks two days in a row.. but am still assuming I released an egg within a day or so after the first positive... but when in doubt, BD!

babylovejenn - 16 days ago.
Sampling - I'm 11dpo, too.. I tested yesterday morning and got a BFN.. I was tempting to test again this morning but I figured I'm just going to wait until my period is late. I've been having some dull cramping and this morning, my back ached a tad. I normally don't feel things like this until my period actually starts.. not sure what to make of it all. The BFN discouraged me.. especially because I'm not feeling any pregnancy symptoms at all... I really think I'm out this month but we'll see. I discovered I was pregnant with DS (a surprise) when I was about 5 weeks along.. and didn't really feel any symptoms until I was about 9 weeks pregnant.. so maybe I shouldn't feel so down in the dumps about not feeling much... Fingers crossed for everyone!

agummybear - 16 days ago.
Can you still still get positive OPT after you O? My first positive was on Monday afternoon (CD10) and it's still positive. I don't temp so I was wondering if anyone does both temp and OPT and can tell me? I am hoping I O'd yesterday since the last time we BD was on Sunday (CD9).

9 DPO today and tested. The cheapies I bought had no result not even a test line. Had to buy two more. And guess what....BFN. Aw well. I see Doc on Friday. I will let them test and tell me.

SamplingNo2 - 16 days ago.
I think my mistake was buying a bunch of dollar store pee sticks! Now I have half a dozen at home and they're burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet, lol. I think if they were costing me $10 a pop, I'd be less inclined to test so early! Just a couple more days left to wait . . .

candila - 16 days ago.
Im wiht you sampling. For some strange reason though with bbt charting, i dont feel the need to poas every days or 10 times a day. temp is still higher than cover line so i am still not out, and knowing when i o i stil have 2 days before af should show....

SamplingNo2 - 16 days ago.
11 dpo today and temps still up, took a HPT this morning but another BFN. Probably still too soon. Feeling totally exhausted lately - fell asleep on the couch last night at 6:30, and I've been crampy the last few days, but it doesn't feel like PMS symptoms . . . not sure if my body is playing tricks on me! I just hope we caught the egg this month. Might skip tomorrow and do a poas on Friday morning. This wait is the worst!!

Omg just had the weirdest dream... That I was doing a house clean out but no one lived there. Well I was in the garden shoveling and then all of a sudden felt something go up my back- thinking it was a bug or something then turns out to be a snake! What in the world. I woke up just as it was about to bite me.

ATLMOMMYOF1 – The reason why it takes so long to see a specialist is because one it’s free, #2 I’ve only been TTC’ing for 16 months and since I already had a child they put me lower on the list. It doesn’t bother me as much it gives me time to try everything I can myself before they tell me to try meds. GLAZEY18 – It’s normal for CM to get thick after you ovulate. TAYLORTTC – I’m on month 16 in my 2ww I’ve got about 1-2 days before AF should be showing up. I’ve been following “The Hormone Diet” as close as I can and taking Fertilitea, both help with balancing hormones. I’m having a really hard time with my diet, I’m so bad for snacking on the wrong stuff. I’m a carb junkie. CANDILLA – I love the book and really it’s a great diet, we should all eat that way. It tells you exactly how to do your detox first and even has meal plans for those days, then tells you how to introduce the rest and you’re on your way. There are some good recipes too, my husband even loves what I make.

Omg! I've found a pettern with my chart and its soooo annoying! My temp rises for 2 days then drops a little on the 3rd day, my CM is dry so I know I am not fertile, I am about 5dpo, why the hell won't my temp stay up grrrrrrr!!!!
