Yep overrun with boys and years ago that used to upset me. I’d be desperate for a girl and don’t get me wrong I adore my girls but I’m definitely a boy mum. I find them much easier. I’m glad I only have one teenage girls emotions to deal with at the min.

Haha yep my 7 yeah old is the same. Such a diva. I’ve no idea where she gets it from

I think I’m 9dpo ff says 7 either way all tests are bfn. I’ve ordered lots of opks and hpts off Amazon as well as conception cups and conceive plus lube I’m well sorted for next month. The only plus side is I’ll be able to have a small glass of wine with xmas dinner

I like doing things like that as a jinx setup for myself. Haha! Hopefully all that you ordered is total waste because of a bfp.

I had days of high fertility before taking the provera and the nurse said if it is a true ovulation, the provera wont hurt it. Idk.
Sucks to feel like even my ovulation tests arent real. Many false pregnancy tests and now false ovulation. Still nice to see i suppose. It’s a peak on the cb. DH and I have been baby dancing anyways since it makes us happy, so we’re in with a very good chance if this is ovulation.

Ooh @HalfricanMa good luck!!! I get super happy after BD sessions too, wish we could more often!

@3boys and everyone else, fx!

AFM, I don’t think I ovulated this cycle I couldn’t have missed my surge with how often I was testing so I’m trying to brace myself for the inevitable AF but I also know I’ll be super devastated.

I’m the same. I know I’m going to be completely devastated when it starts. I wish I could go back to before the chemical where another baby was a nice idea and not something that consumes me. I will say though that I do have a 4 year old son that was convinced in a cycle where it didn’t look like I ovulated so you are not out yet.

 

[MrsKatie]

@3boys thank you. I hear you! Ok I’d love to know, why did you think you didn’t ovulate? I never got a truly positive opk, but Premom flagged a .86 as “peak”. But can a number that far under 1 be peak? I always get like 1.06-1.14 as a peak reading I tested so compulsively I don’t think I could have missed it if there had been any higher reading.

 

[3boys]

Guys I have a faint BFP this morning!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have pics? Yep i never got a positive opk even though i tested daily. I cant remember why i took a test but was very very shocked when it was positive. Hes 5 today.

Oh my gosh I need to see I need pics lol xx

 

[3boys]

Hubby has my phone in town, I am on laptop!! Will post pics soon. So excited. Oh i hope it sticks. I am actually raging with myself. I wanted to tell hubby in a cute way as i had never done that before but nope told him straight away! I really cant keep a secret

 

[3boys]

The camera is not picking it up well but definitely there irl. It was a complete BFN last night, then tested this morning and thought again a BFN. Hours later went back and looked and something vvvvvvvvvf was catching my eye so tested again and got this. Fertility friend is saying i am 8dpo. I could be 9 or 10dpo.

 

[HalfricanMa]

Congratulations @3boys!

[autumnal]

Congrats @3boys ! I see your line
I hope that it is a healthy, sticky baby! Will pray for you!

And hope everyone else here gets one this next cycle too

This current pregnancy I had no idea I ovulated. I usually get really bad ovulation pain. We exclusively use withdraw method (I can't take hormonal bc, nor would I want to honestly...hubby is sensitive to condoms, and my uterus is a weird shape so I can't get an IUD). It's been working for something like 13-14 years, we only got pregnant when we tried. The rule is he has to withdraw until 3 days AFTER I get my ovulation pains. Well the month I got pregnant, I never had the pain, and therefore never let him not withdraw. And somehow I still got pregnant! We joke it's a "pool baby" because we were at a hotel the night I *think* we conceived and used the pool hahahhahaha

But all that to say you never know, anything is possible! I had no idea I ovulated, and actually was starting to wonder if I'm entering peri-menopause because there have been a couple cycles this past year that I haven't felt, which is unusual. I though I just might not be ovulating. Very obviously not the case lol

@3boys wow huge congrats!!!!!! That is so wonderful, looking forward to the next darker one! Have you told hubs yet? Wow, 11 kiddos, you're a hero!

Yes I’ve told him I literally can’t hold my pee!

This is it dry. I think it looks good for 8/9dpo and it was a definite bfn last night. But I’m nervous wreck with back pain.
