TTC boy in August

 Am on 9dpo today. Am holding back from testing to avoid getting a BFN from an early test. I learnt that Blue Bean's BFP's do not show early but around 1day before or after AF is suppossed to show up. 

Am having AF like symptoms (Pelvic and Lower back pain) and Creamy Lotion like CM. Each time I check to see if AF decided to be a big witch by showing up and moreso quite early, 6days early, I see the CM. I also have elevated temperature for almost all through the DPO. Does nyone know what this likely means?

 

Elevated temp post O usually means pregnant, Oma. I don't want to get your hopes up, but its a good sign. Good luck.

Nefertiti:

Thanks Nerfertiti. Am just wondering if the Creamy Lotion Like CM means anything like an indication of Pregnancy or a Sticky Blue Bean. I've googled this but didn't get a definite answer. I wanted to know if anyone had such an experience and what the final outcome was.

goodluck oma .....im 12dpo and bfn....losing hope now, waiting for the witch

Thanks Prettyblu. Don't lose hope yet. I've learnt from the 2ww, some other sites and a friend's personal experience that Blue Beans do not show BFP's early. Am yet to test again myself after the first BFN I got earlier (4dpo wasignorant of implantation and was very anxious ) before learning of the information. Usually the BFP's show in about 1day before or after a missed AF. So Fx for you and all of us still in the 2ww, its not over until AF the witch shows her Red Face

 XX3 - thank you for sharing the info with us. Did your doc tell you for how long she recommends to be on that diet before doing the attempt? Did she mention anything about extreme swaying, such as including TB, MSU, or SU into the attempt?

Prettyblu - I still hope you get your BFP, but even if you don't, well - you only have 2 weeks to prepare for your next attempt, which you can perfect even more.

 Oma - I definetly had AF-like symptoms when I got my BFP. I was pretty good about not testing early, so I only bought one test and tested with it the day AF was due and got a BFP. But all the body symptoms werescreaming that AF is about to show up.

As for me - those sea bands seem to help me with nausea. If any of you ladies are experiencing morning sickness - I suggest giving those bands a try. You can get them at walgreens. I also had the initial blood draws done this past Saturday, so hopefully my doc will have the results in some time this week. And then I see her again in 3 weeks when I'll be almost 10 weeks along. Hopefully she will do another u/s then and we can see how the baby has grown. We completely forgot to take a video of the u/s this time, so all we got was a small print out. Ugh, I now just have to come up with a way to tell my parents that we are expecting baby #3. I know they will not be happy, so I am really lost at how to mention it to them. Should I just kinda mention it as in "Oh, by the way, if everything goes well, you will have one more grandchild this spring..."? It really would be so much easier to tell them the news if I knew that they would actually be happy for us... 

The OB said to just eat more sodium and potassium rich foods for a minimum of 4 weeks....the developing egg is ONLY influenced by current diet however she did say that despite diet some women are more apt to have girls bc some men have limited xy sperm no matter what is done.....also more men then realized have issues w testosterone so women that have girls on a more boy friendly diet should have their dh blood workup done......low T can cause prostate,BP, WEIGHT AND HEART ISSUES

XX3- I've thought a lot about my dh's role he's so healthy and only 33 (well just turned 34) great shape always taken supplements etc.. However when he was in his early 20's he used to do hgh to build muscle and tried other steroids for muscle growth, he also was a service hand in a company for 8 years which resulted being stuck in a truck for hours and hours day after day, I have read that people like truck drivers, excessive motorcycle or motocross professionals have been proven to have a significantly higher number of daughters than sons, due to sitting and heat ebig around the testicles ultimately resulting in low sperm count... DH has never (and would never) be tested especially since he's so done having kids now, but in the back of my mind I wonder if his early steroid use or years doing service in the oil field had a long term effect? Anyway.. He's still in oil service but is I'm outside sales and still drives a lot but isn't doing laborious work and hasn't for 5+ years.. Who knows.. I just wonder though. Because even though I swore that I wouldn't I looked over my sway for "mistakes" and I did a great job.. My ony thinking is I think I did an unintentional 3-4 day cut off due to having two attempts because of my gear up to O which resulted in a false positive opk.. So I think maybe those sperm were waiting before the second attempt batch could get to the egg? Again I don't know, and I'm perfectly fine I'm just one who likes to solve problems and I just hate not knowing!!!!

Hi every one I have not been to the forum for a while - it has been my 6th cycle of trying and I felt a bit low. My witch got me on Monday so another cycle ahead :-). Just want to check how every one's doing? Wasabi, I think I saw your post that you are going to attempt, Good luck!!!. How about you Strawbell? I remember your period is very close to mine, did you have good news this month? Babybleux, how is your pregnancy? I hope both of you are doing well. Please keep me posted and good luck to us all! Lots of love, Ngoc

 Hi Ngocsura80! - I'm still here lurking in the background Sorry the witch got you, she got me too. I've been on holiday didn't take any tests with me and was 2 days late with terrible AF, didn't really get my hopes up as had no signs of being pregnant anyway. So on to month 8 for me. I have my blood tests (FSH) today so was just as well I was late otherwise I would have had to wait until next month.

On another note a old friend of mine son's has started at my nursery, we were talking about having more and she said she's been trying for 2 years with no luck, and the doc had said not to worry she had 1 so no help available. Told her that she should really push for tests as after a year they must do something to help. She finally had a scan last wk and turns out she has a tear in her womb and needs an operation!!! I no she finally has an answer but god some docs are lazy and stupid.

My doc said not to worry unless i'd been trying for 3-4 years - I'm 37 I don't have that kind of time, luckily for me she was more than happy to run tests anyway. not sure if they will do anything if the tests come back ok - we shall have to see. Hubby is happy to get himself tested too.

Hope everyone is ok xxx

XXY - I'm so sorry you are having a rough time of it

Strawbell

I've been out of the loop for  a few days just catching up. 

Oma - your symptoms sound alot like mine. I'm a day behind you so I hope we get that BPF this week! When are you testing?

Pretty blu - don't give up yet!!

Strawbell- I'm glad to hear that you are starting with testing! Good luck!

Thnx soccerfam I'm 13dpo and it's a bfn... I didn't test today coz I'm thinking I would have gotten a positive by now. AF is due tomorrw but what's confusing me is that i feel PREGNANT! Lol I'm getting back pain and intense right side cramping which usually I don't?? Don't know what to make of it but I guess a few more days n I'll know for sure but gosh the wait is hard!!

 Welcome back Soccerfam, Fx we become due date buddies. Its good to know that someone has the same symptoms as mine. I'll be testing on CD28 the last day of my cycle, which is on Saturday the 1st of September, what better way to start a new month than with a BFP.  Am staying positive and very hopeful even though am anxious and wish the week was over already. we get our sticky healthy blue bean (s).

 

 XX3 - that's a good idea about DH's blood work. As you describe it, wow - my DH has it all (almost) -very high BP all his life, weight gain problems in the last 5 years, and frequent heart issues. We have never tested him for testosterone ptoblems, though. He is otherwise in good shape and is only 34. He works out, still has a lot of muscle, and eats more or less healthy - never drank or smoked or did any kind of drugs... Interestingly, his high BP and weight/heart issues are the same as in his dad and brother, so it looks like it's just in their family. And his dad had 2 sons...

 BB - I think the double attempt might have been the weak link in the sway, but in other aspects, I think your sway was great. This little girl probably was just meant for your family. I am a strong believer in that everything happens for a reason.

 Strwabell - nice to hear again from you. Hope your holidays went well and you got to relax. I think a nice vacation is the best way to get pregnant. And by the stats, more boys are conceived during the honeymoon period! I hope your tests come back fine and you get your BFP.

 Soccerfam, Oma and Prettyblu - good luck with testing.

Hi Strawbell It is lovely to hear from you. I hope you had a nice holiday and you are fully recharged now. We have also started testing as well, and I am not sure what the next step is but we could share our experience, couldn't we. Both my husband and I usually go to bed quite late so I am not sure if this affects our fertility at all. Sometime I did regret that I did not try to conceive earlier, not thinking it would have taken this long without any luck yet. It is quite frustrating at times. Any way, I am trying to stay positive and being healthy as I started going to gym about a month ago, hopefully will have some good news soon. Are you trying any thing new this month? Best wishes, Ngoc
