Babydust method

Haven't started ttc yet I was wondering if anyone has tried babydust method?

I’ve been following it/read the book. I’m swaying girl and got pregnant with a 5 day cut off, but unfortunately miscarried. Tried this month with a 2.5 day cut off 🤞🏼

Wow a 5 day cut off is amazing! Fingers crossed for you, let me know if you manage to conceive a baby girl. I have read the book but we're not trying yet (I wish we were lol)

Also your son has my bday (and is 1 month, 1 day younger than my son)

I know I couldn’t believe it worked! I will do. Aww birthday twins 😊 I’m a September baby too, could be a third September baby in our house if I get pregnant quickly 🤣

Omg just got my BFP at 10dpo! Praying this baby sticks and will see if the baby dust method works!! 🤞🏼

That's amazing! Definitely fingers crossed for you xxx

congratulations! 🥳🥳 I want to try the shettles of babydust method too for a girl but how do you figure out exactly when your ovulation is?

thank you! 🥰 I used ovulation tests for 2 months before we started trying to get an idea of roughly when I ovulated in my cycle. Then we tried for a 3 day cut off but I ovulated late so ended up being 5 days, but I miscarried that time. Got pregnant the next month with a 2.5 day cut off! Although it wasn’t perfect baby dust method as for a girl you’re only supposed to have 1 BD whereas we had 2, once 5 days before ovulation and once 2.5 days before x

Oooo this is promising!! This month we BD’d just under 3 and 2 days before I started to get an LH surge and 2.5 days before my peak so I think that’s maybe 3 or so days before ovulation 🤞🏼 currently 6dpo so reassuring to hear it can happen! I always think these methods must massively reduce chances of conceiving xx

That sounds good!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 yeah I thought the same, that’s why the next try we didn’t stick to it so rigidly, after a loss we just wanted a healthy baby so decided not to worry as much about gender! Xx

Yeah I completely understand that. Did you try and sway for your son? So far I don’t have any symptoms so I’m not super hopeful for this cycle haha xx

No we didn’t sway with our first but we did secretly want a boy! But now I’ve looked up the methods it makes sense as we BD’d after I had my positive ovulation test! You never know, there’s still time yet xx

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
