Good luck with the bd mauijaim. I'm just wrapping up my marathon, lol.

I'm good thanks. Onwards and upwards and all that. I have an appointment with the specialist next month. If there is something wrong then hopefully we can get it fixed. May take a while but at least I'm in the system!

Left- looks like I was a week behind in knowing where you were at! Sorry about that. Fx for you and a bfp!

I started taking royal jelly this week. Has anyone tried it? Any opinions one way or the other? I researched vitex but it sounds like it does more harm than good if you have regular cycles. It appears to work wonders in place of Clomid for those with PCOS or irregular cycles.

We're also going to use Preseed for this round of to see if we can help those lil swimmers along the way.

Another day or two and I'll begin opk.

Tui - welcome back hun!! We missed you!!

Jessie - I got my BFP just 6 weeks after my HSG scan!!! The doc who did the scan congratulated me on my impending pregnancy as I left the scan room!! He said of all the HSG scans he had done only 2 hadn't got BFP in the 3 months following their scans. Apparently we are 30% more fertile after HSG scans than normally!!
Was your scan last friday or this coming friday?

Seems like a lot of cycles have sync'ed!! Looks like a few of you started AF in the last week.
I think I'm about 7 DPO at the mo, but not really keeping check as I'm still recovering. I'm due back at work next Tuesday.
On the house front - We are ready to complete on our forward chain but there is some complication on our back chain!! GGGRRR I would really like to move before Christmas!!!

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Left wonderin]

Well she got me!!!

 

[Tui]

Sorry left

Hi skweek. Sorry your house is giving you grief. We didn't have a chain so it was relatively easy for us, but still stressful. Can't imagine how many balls you need to juggle when there is one. Fingers crossed for xmas move.

 

[jessiecat]

Tui: good to see you back!

Left: you're about 5 days behind me with your cycle. Let's hope the next one is it for us.

Sk: Ooooh that gives me so much hope! My HSG is tomorrow! Sorry the house is giving you grief. What's a chain?!

Maui: Have FUN this weekend!

 

[Wish2BMom]

left - so sorry, hon!

Jessie - good luck on the HSG!! I wanted to be one of those that was instantly preggo after but alas, I was not. I hope you have better luck than I did!!! FXed!!

 

[Left wonderin]

hi everyone !
I'm stalking this thread for good news

 

[Stenokat]

Welcome back, Tui! Sorry AF got you, Left.

As for me, I finished AF Thursday. I realized that off and on for the last couple months I've been having a stabbing and pulling pain in my left ovary. This morning it woke me up. I called my doc about it Thursday and they scheduled me to come in Tuesday to get checked out. Please send me some good vibes, ladies!

 

[lola33]

keep us updated steno ! I did have pain on the left ovary pretty often. I have a fibroid outside of the uterus, on the left side.. doctor said it could have been related..

 

[Tui]

Hope its nothing to worry about steno.

Good luck with the bd left. A Xmas bfp would be lovely I agree.

I'm 7dpo so just waiting, waiting.........

Hi ladies, I'm so happy to have found this site and all of you. I'm 36 and ttc 1st baby. I'm still brand new to everything. Stopped BCP two weeks ago (was on it for 20 years) so I'm just waiting for my first real AF and see what my cycle is like. I was regular like clockwork before BC, but that was 20 years ago... I think I ovulated already (13 days after my last pill).

Been reading through everyone's posts and getting great tips. I ordered an ovulation monitor and should get that sometime this week. In a perfect world, my husband would love for me to get pregnant in February. He owns a construction business and is slow during the winter so he wants a due date somewhere between Nov and Jan. I told him it's not that easy....

So I'm just waiting right now to see how my cycle is. Hopefully everything is fine and we can really start trying.

Good luck to you all.

 

[Tui]

Welcome kiley. Glad to have you. Good luck for your first cycle. You never know, you could be lucky and conceive right away x

 

[Mauijaim]

Hi Ladies and welcome Kiley!

We just wrapped up our weekend BD marathon. Whew! Peak opk friday after a low reading Thursday. Usually there's a high in there somewhere before the peak...

Temps were a bit wonky after AF. Winter came to town and we're still trying to find that perfect temp zone in our new house. Some nights I'm freezing, others I'm roasting! Temp shot up this morning so we'll see what happens tomorrow. Everything happened quick this time!

Fx for you Tui!

Steno- hope all is well. Keep us posted on your appointment.

Left- oh those waiting days...you'll be back in the TWW before you know it, waiting again!

How's it going for the rest of you girls? Jessie? Skweek?

 

[Wish2BMom]

welcome Kiley! I saw your name and freaked a little - Jean is my maiden name and I have cousins named Kelly and Kaley They are WAY younger than me so my immediate thought was NOOOO! you're not TTC!

steno - keep us updated on that appt - I hope everything is ok! fibroids seem to be pretty common but ouch! that sounds horrible!

left - a xmas BFP would be awesome!! I think I'm testing/AF due right around my bday next month. It would make for a fantastic bday present!! C'mon little one!!

I hope everyone else is doing great! Tui - your temps look awesome!

 

[jessiecat]

hey BB friends and welcome Kiley! doing ok here. Had my HSG on Friday- was waayy easier than I thought. Hopefully get my results this week.
I'm not going to use my OPK this month, just going to BD every other day for the next couple of weeks.

I wish we could all get together in 'real life'. I could use some girlfriends in my new city right now!
