anyone out already this month... and testing in June???

[tucker07]

I'm CD 8....hoping June we get a BFP!

 

[darcie]

hello so is anyone trying anything different this month i used vitex this month and ovulated on cd11 instead of 18 so really early for me x

 

[patiently]

I'm not sure if i've ovulated yet as im not using opks this month. I have had slight cramping for a few days now and I had ewcm on cd9 - cd12 but I usually don't ovulate until cd26 so I don't know whats going on, this week I have had so much cmy CM (sorry if tmi) but maybe thats my body gearing up for ovulation. I have had cramping on both sides also so i am very confused...i didn't want to use opks this month as I keep obsessing in the 2WW which drives me crazy! I dont know what to think or to do now...right now i'm on CD 18

Ill be using opk & temping for the 1st time this month though i assume it wont help me much until i see a pattern forming FXD for us all this month xx

 

[JulianasMommy]

Mrs J-sorry about AF

patiently- I am glad i finally got the list updated!!!!! I wish i could relax like you. I have been peeing on opks since AF stopped! :/ I was hoping the mc would change my cycle so i could o earlier. But no such luck.

wanting- i use the Answer dip sticks 20 pack then when my lines start getting dark i go get Answer or First Response mid stream test, because they give way better lines.

Tucker07- GL!

darcie- I want to try softcups,but dont know that much about them and i ave heard some people say they hurt your chances and some say they think thats what got them their :BFP: ????????

moonbeam-this is also my first month temping but i dont think it will do me any good becasue i wake up all night and go to bed late....

 

[JulianasMommy]

You all are so lucky, y'all have short cycles...

 

[moonbeam38]

does waking up a lot make a difference??
im going to start using them tomorrow as im due to ov on 23rd according to dates...my cycles have only been shorter since my mc i never realised until AF shown up 2 days early as she did the previous month but my leutal phase is still 14 days so im just thinking positive thoughts this month xx

Hi ladies! Waiting to OV but am hoping the current stress I'm under doesn't affect that. Some really stressful family drama (not with us, just others) has me feeling dreadful. I really want the BFP next month, I'm just hoping this crap doesn't interfere with that. I've done everything right this month and I really want a little in February!! So please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate these difficulties and TTC!!! Love ya'lll!

 

[JulianasMommy]

I just said a prayer for you mercedes. Sorry about the drama, family can be filled with drama at times. Gotta love em! We love you too!!!
You have a longer cycle like me !!!!!! GO US!!!!!!!

moonbeamfrom what i understand (and i could be totally wrong) i think it is okay as long as you have a solid 4 hours of sleep before you take your temp... but again idk? I think I am due to o on the 27th.

 

[moonbeam38]

aaah i see thanks...just set up a chart on fertility friend so im sure ill get the hang of it soon enough x

 

[wanting2010]

Thanks JulianasMommy. I have been using Answer or First Response midstream tests but they're too expensive to use twice a day like i'd like to haha. I don't like the ICs I've been buying on ebay. I might have to try to Answer strips! Can you get those at Wal Mart?

I'm taking my last dose of Clomid tonight. If I ov the same time this month as I did last month it should be around CD 19. This is probably my last round of Clomid so I'm definitely praying hard for.a BFP. I would prefer to not have to see a specialist/move on to more intensive treatments.

moonbeam- tempings really good because you know that youve defiantly ovulated and you can normally tell if your af is about to show as youll have a temp drop. The first month i started temping i fell pregnant unfortunately it was a chemical pregnancie. Opks are good because you know after you get a positive you have upto about 30hours before you ovulate so you can get alot of bedding in

Julianasmommy- I used softcups for one month i used the instead ones it didnt get me pregnant but it seemed to keep everything up there i dont know if i would use them agin there a bit messy and a bit painful to pull out. Cant hurt to try though ive heard of people getting there bfps from them.

[JulianasMommy]

moonbeam I set one up the other day too!

wanting- i get mine from walmart... i think they are like 18.00 and at walgreens they are 19.99. GL wanting I hope this is your month!!!!!!! FX!

darcie- so does temping before O tell you anything? I don't think i want to use them if they hurt...

Soooooooooooo... I just had a BM TMI and i had ewcm when i wiped. WTHECK!I only get ewcm after a bm at ovulation time. Maybe i will O before CD 21 this month!!!!! We did BD last night, but i am pretty sure this was ewcm. IT WAS THICK. It stretched pretty far too. My opks aren't getting any darker, but i usually get ewcm 2 days before my opks get darker... if i can remember correctly. I guess i will just have to wait and see. Oh and i starting coughing up stuff so i went and bought some mucinex with the only active ingredient being guafisein ( i dont know how you spell it) and i just popped one in before going to the bathroom (like 5 min before) they dont work THAT fast do they?!

Hi Lwood. Hope AF doesn't show, but we will love to have you here!

Oh, I want her to show! It is my second cycle after my D&C and that is what my doctor wanted me to wait for. After this AF comes, I can officially start TTC. (So far she is a no-show)

Thank you ladies for all the great info. I am taking notes and going to call Doc about all your suggestions. I was taking B100, PB8 & Fenu-thyme (on my cousin's suggestion) last time and no one told me to stop. I read the bottles and they said "Don't take while pregnant" so I don't know if that's why I MC?

We DTD every other day once my ovulation kit said I was fertile and I ended up with triplets who were two days apart in age so I am nervous to DTD too much AND not enough. I do NOT want triplets again but I don't want to miss out completely.

This time my husband is smoke free (among other things) and I am going to request he be soda free as well. All I am taking is folic acid and I am exercising.

Of course I am scared to be excited...I will be 35 this year so I am trying not to worry about all of THAT as well.

I know this is normal part of life but I LOLed!!

Oh and my first AF after my D&C was so random. I had a scary heavy flow for two days then nothing for two days then flow for a day then nothing... this lasted a week or so. I don't remember for sure.

 

[JulianasMommy]

LOL!
Well then i hope she does show!!!!!!!! HURRY UP AF!!!!!
My cycle this month was screwy like that too!

 

[darcie]

no it doesnt tell you anything before you ovulate but it tells you that you have ovulated, i dont ovulate until 2 days after i get a positive opk. The soft cups probably wouldnt hurt if you relaxed but i get all scared about taking them out so im all tense. x

 

[MRS_HJO]

About temping: I would say you should be temping all the way through your cycle because how will you be able to see a temperature rise if you weren't temping before, ya know? You need a baseline, but nope, it doesn't tell you that you are going to ovulate, which is soooooooooo annoying!!! But it is awesome to see that confirmation that you did in fact ovulate! And then you can obsess over your temps in the 2ww for any early signs that you conceived! Because... we all love to obsess during the 2ww!

Af finally left, thank God. I start SMEP tomorrow on CD8. Been drinking NASTY grapefruit juice to increase my CM. UGH, YUCK, I hope this works so I don't have to do it again next cycle! LOL.

 

[MRS_HJO]

Well, just went potty and when I wiped I had some pinkish CM... More spotting? WTF?! Gotta be the B6. I wonder if I can just stop taking it right now!

 

[LWood]

So far no sign of AF. The ONE TIME I want her around and she is not here. I know she is on her way because I keep crying... blah.
