I also had the genetic testing done with my DD since I was 41 at the time. The general blood work they do for Downs would have shown high risk just due to my age so the test basically is worthless. The genetic testing gave me 100% accuracy and took a lot of worry off my shoulders when we got the good news. We will for sure do it again if we get lucky enough to have another bean.

Speaking of....I got a pos Opk on evening of cd10, ovary pains started that night as well and went through off and on yesterday. We bd that night and last night. Temp is up this morning about .25 degree. I noticed yesterday that on cd 7,8,9,10 cm was ew and had a lot of elasticity but yesterday it changed to just wet looking with very little elasticity so not sure if the boys were gonna be able to swim well last night. Maybe I ovulated on night of cd 10,Needless to say it's done. I'm going to get in one more session just incase if DD allows. She fought sleep for 2 hrs last night and didn't think we were going to bd at all. It was around midnight and it was quick but we finally managed. No standing on my head to hold the little guys in, passed out holding hands....aww!

Thanks ladies to all the responses!!! Yeah I was so shocked when I found out girl but then I was soooo excited because little girls are so much fun! As far as the blood test goes, it's incredible how far medicine has come! There is also testing that is done later that will test me for genetic abnormalities or diseases that I may carry, and again since I am adopted with no medical history I would really like to get it done just so I know if I risk giving anything to future children!

Kerzie- I have the name Lorelei Ellis picked out! Hubby and I are both very excited. I am glad my post made your day better Hun!!

Hello everyone, (6dpo)

Pink. After all this time I totally understand how you feel about shadows. I want a neon pink light accompanied by a fanfare That way I will have no doubts. And just so you don't think your mad when you have symptoms close after ovulation look up early pregnancy factor, read about it in another post. I think baby is away sunning at the beach this weekend, could be two bfp on Mon
I want a fanfare for you tomorrow

Chicks. Welcome to the tww, looks like you ovulated yesterday so 1dpo You get to rest now. Went "aww" with the hand holding, it would be so nice if that was the one that worked. If you get a bfp you will always remember falling asleep holding hands, so much more romantic than standing on your head going blue. Good luck and hope it's a keeper And now to start the symptom spotting

Afm. Better mood today (so far) but still feel like I'm on my period, bad cramps and uterus is sore and hard. It's in an unusual position so I can feel it. Maybe I'm going to come on early again?? Last time I only took vitex until I ovulated so it's a bit experimental taking it all month but have heard its more effective. Pink, how much dhea are you taking? I started with 75mg but had to reduce to 50mg as I got unwell and couldn't stomach it. Off to make cinnamon swirls with ds, we are playing at being cooks and made hats

Kai. Get your dh to kiss little Lorelei for me and tell her to stay safe and warm until her time to come out

May I join? I'm CD2, in shark week and about to start my second round of Clomid. I'm still on 50mg and pretty sure i ovulated last month so I'm trying the day 3-7 method instead of the 5-9 I did last month.

Evening lovlies, (11DPO)
Kerzie aww you have such a way with words, wot you typed about chicks holding hands and Kai, made me tearful, thats really beautiful and how on earth did you find out about Early Pregnancy Factor (EPF), id never heard of it but very interesting, I also read that 70% pregnancies are lost early on and assumed as AF, its fascinating that they can detect early pregnancy as early as 2DPO and have been doing just that with animals for years but also yes we can experience symtoms from that early on before implantation, makes you think, maybe we are not quite as mad as we think we are when AF shows after having various symptoms, especially when late Kerzie you feed us a constant encyclopedia of amazing knowledge that we never knew thank you, glad your feelin better, Dhea is 50mg, I take 4 diff tabs one day and the other diff 4 the 2nd so not rattling as much and works out lots cheaper Hope the cinammon swells turned out well, sound lush
Well done chicks, that should do it we should all hold hands with our loved ones now n again
Calvin-sure we have chatted before welcome here of course the more the merrier I finished my last 3rd round of clomid last cycle before this one I got lots of symptoms with it especially towards end of cycle
Hopefully hear some good news from Baby tom
fanfares warming up now just in case

Hi Calvin, welcome to the mad house! The ladies here are a little bit nuts but in the best way possible You have probably spoke to most of us at some point but it would be rude not to welcome you. Not tried Clomid myself but a few women here have tried it and will be able to help sort clomid and tww symptoms. They say the second time is more likely to be successful as your body is more adjusted to the drugs so Hope this is your month

Pink. You big softie!!!!!! Don't think it's so much my words as your hormones Something is definitely trying to happen this cycle for you, I'm praying it's a stubborn, sticky wee bean from grade A+ egg and sperm. When you have your new baby I'm coming to get a cuddle, from both of you
Fanfare at the ready.....

Afm. Cinnamon swirls turned out great but totally stuffed up the icing sugar to drizzle. Decided to dust with icing sugar instead but Lewis took over and it was more like blizzards. He also put chocolate sauce and maple syrup over his????
I can't take credit over the early pregnancy factor, someone posted about it on here a week or two ago but it disappeared when I came on the next day. To be honest I forgot about it, the ditz thing again.
Good luck testing tomorrow Pink and baby Anyone else?

Hiya ladies,

Welcome Calvingirl! Hope clomid brings you a bfp.

Chicks I smiled at your holding hands. Reminds me of me and my DH. We hold hands everywhere we go and we get lots of stares and smiles. Hope the hand holding does the trick!

Pink can't wait for you to test!

Kerzie I will have to check out the epf. I knew that we could experience symptoms before implantation despite what so many people say on this site.

Hopeful for multiple BFP's tomorrow!!

Hello everyone..for the ladies that asked me how im doing, im doing good still recovering. Dh and i are doing better. I dont know if i want to wait for testing. Doctors wants to wait anotjer month or 2.
I hope everyone gets their Bfp soon. Im kind of scare to try again.
Welcome to all new ladies.

Morning lovely ladies (12DPO)
Miracle-glad your still with us, I can understand you being nervous, don't try again until your both feeling up to it the fact you have fallen once are good chances you will again soon , so pleased to hear you and DH are getting on better, life is tough enough without relationship probs and then the stress of just TTC gets too much sometimes thank goodness for this site and the wonderful support on this forum
Thank you Kerzie/39, no fanfare for me Im afraid, temp up again today but also a (uploaded) will test again 14DPO if don't catch up with me first, dam it Ill have that cuddle anyway (I wish), oh I prefer icing sugar to icing anyway
