Has anyone heard of Co Enzyme Q10 ???
It's supposed to aid implantation ......something iv found along my travels on the Internet tonight....
Apparently it's 30 mg daily
Widely available
No side affects....hmmmmmm might have to check this out

Also what about Angus castus?
Clinically shown to balance hormones- trials show lots of women getting pregnant whilst taking it.
Available in health stores.

Anybody know anything about these things?


Ooh I found this aswell mommaplus...apparently if you focus on the colour blue during meditation it is good for fertility...just thought I throw that out there for you lol

CoQ - yes Nat, my fertility clinic said for me to take that if nothing else but it caused an upset stomach so I stopped taking it. It gave me the runs So there ARE side effects.

I've heard of cactus but never tried it. I'd be careful about anything that messes up with your hormones though. If you're "normal" it can have the opposite affect. So I'm always careful about what I choose to take. Just be mindful of that

 

[barbikins]

Nat, you went on a very good rampage w/your studies! I do the same from time to time. I like to be well educated when I take on a new project!

I might try the CoQ again - I was taking a HIGH dosage which is what the clinic recommended to take if nothing else. But given I got the runs, I stopped. But you made me think I should try it again but low dosage.

I'm still waiting for AF to show the fuck up! I am still lightly spotting today - 16dpo.

 

[mommaplus05]

Im such a whiny baby. This hurts truly so bad..it hurts to sit on my bum!! Uggghhh

 

[barbikins]

Hey Momma - your O signs are great. But I dont get why you'd be in pain to sit?! I've never heard of this. What's going on???

 

[barbikins]

So, I've got the lightest spotting since yesterday. Nothing much to mention - lightest brown spotting. NO cramps at all - its 16dpo, got negative FRER as of yesterday morning. What's going on?! GAH. I guess it's b/c of last month.
I had NO tests at home so I took an OPK but it's only almost positive. I'm not thinking I'm pregnant at all.

Hey barbs Yaye congrats on the house...phew just in time eh.
Good luck with the move and all I hear it can be stressful and I'd say you have MORE than enough on your plate love so you just take it easy...you organise the move and then get the men to do the hard lumping about lol sounds like a plan eh.

Yeah I read that 30mg of q10 is the recommended dose... I am going to check this out tonight and see where I can get it online if cheaper ...
I did LoTS of research last night I thought why not make the most of this boring stage off ttc eh lol...
Learnt ALOT but most of it I already knew-however I do like to think its good to keep up with any scientific changes if any

So the spotting has started...hopefully af is on her way for you so you can crack with the iui and monitoring...fx.
And major fx for you and dh with this iui cycle barbs...I will defo be thinking about you both during this time for you...it must be quite nerve racking for you both ....

[barbikins]

Almost positive but not quite. Wishful thinking.

 

[barbikins]

Thanks Nat! I hate moving (who loves it really?) but we have more time now too in order to pack properly & get rid of old shit. I'm glad we don't have to rent temporarily & move once again. Major pain! We have the house inspection tomorrow at 2pm but should be fine.

Thanks - I hope AF Shows up soon. I just really want to get the show on the road.
I read too that if you spot & not bleed it can mean you didn't Ovulate that cycle. So I have me wondering. My spotting hasn't even gotten heavier like it ususally does & I would have had some cramps today. Maybe it's just taking it's sweet time.

 

[natjenson]

Heya momma...sorry to hear your in so much pain there...TOTALLY understand what that's like....
So I take some paracetamol when I get the o pains...it's very gentle on your body but does the trick.

And also you say not much Ewcm the....have you tried evening primrose oil?
There are many things that can help with this love...
Grapefruit juice 1 glass daily
Evening primrose oil 1 capsule daily
Pure honey 1 teaspoon daily
Pineapple juice 1 glass daily
Maca 1 -2 capsules daily...( beware can cause high libido lol)
And soo soo much more....
Also cutting sugar out or down of your diet is GREAT for cm to...
All this is good up to ovulation...no point after that as the cm is useless AFTER ovulation lol

Momma p lus make sure you stay active love with that pain...don't let it beat you ok...the more you fight it the easier it becomes to handle the son of a beeeeatch lol
But I know sometimes all you can do is give in when it's that bad


Hope your pain leaves you soon...

Oh my gawsh barbs your opk is REALLY strong there....you sure the spotting isn't where you injured yourself checking lol...have you got any ic's left?

My opk isn't even that strong when I ovulate lol....

;0 xxx

 

[barbikins]

Hey Nat! I don't have any IC left other than OPK. I'm tempted to grab some tests today but I'm nervous I'm wasting my money.

Naw its not from my injury LOL that was minor & didnt last long. HAHA
Anyway I also googled it & it says if didn't ovulate, this could happen too rather than a full period. But anyway I have until end of today before I'm "late". What a LONG cycle.

Lol ok...glad that's all better now tho...
I hate lonnnng cycles it's soo annoying....it drags on and on playing mind games and y can't help but lose your mind a tiny bit....
I really thought I was going to be devastated this last cycle if it didn't work but bc af was late and I had those Evaps and shadows I was more relieved to know my answer as I lost my brains in it all lol...
Lol I can't do that to myself again...I'm pms ing abit today...shame poor OH can't do any thing right he he heeee....
Oh the joys of being female I say...

I wish there was a test out there that we could wee on which tells us af is defo coming that would put ALOT of worrys and stress to rest eh lol...
Instead of the old torment of am I pregnant or what???

[barbikins]

I hate this whole thing too, Nat! And my boobs feel like they're burning on/off kinda like when I was pregnant. Just took a FRER & bfn. FAK. Ok AF time to show up, bitch.

 

[barbikins]

PS: gotta love shadow lines on FRER that I"ve been staring at way too long. LOL

 

[barbikins]

OK bleeding has commenced LOL - AF CD 1 today!

 

[Petzy]

OK bleeding has commenced LOL - AF CD 1 today!

CD1 wooo hoo onward and upward for Barb~! lol

I honestly get AF usually within an HOUR of testing it is SO facking annoying UGH!!! Time to get on with the cycle and I am glad it did not take any longer for you.

Momma I am sorry you are in pain! Poor thing are you home - can you rest?

Just took my OPK... was lighter than I had hoped but not abnormal since my positive usually comes tomorrow. I will take another one this evening and see how it goes. realllllly hoping for POS tomorrow.... I dont want a long cycle.

 

[natjenson]

Yaye barbs good news...atleast the show can get on the road now eh...I'm glad af didn't mess you around and turn up any later...mind games are flaming awfull.
I can't get over your opk tho barbs...maybe they might go like that at the very end of our cycle...I mean mine was quite dark on the night befor af but defo not as strong as yours tho...

So we're are sort of near each other agin this cycle...I'm cd 2 today...
So when does your cycle monitoring begin then with iui?
I'm so curious with iui...I'm not sure if the uk with have a different procedure and ways of going about it....

I think ill have a good old read up about what the uk and my local services can offer I think.
Private might have to be the way forward...we have "some" money saved but I suppose not enough for a couple of rounds....maybe we should wait till August and see if the gp will help us out or steer us in the right direction and that way we can squirrel a little more money behind us to be better prepared...

Hope you have a good evening barbs...glass of winage eh? Me thinks so
Have one for me too...I don't drink so If I did have one I'd be on my but quicker than a wet mut lol

[barbikins]

LOL Meg, I literately went to the can w/another test but checked my cervix & bam! Red blood. Now I have cramps. But now I can start my Cycle Monitoring ! WAHOO

Don't worry Meg, keep testing. Some times you only get 1 day with a true positive. Hang in there lady! In the mean time have lots of crazy sex!!!!

How are you doing - what you been up to? You guys going on a mini holiday or smth? We are going to Ottawa next month. I love it there!
