I know caffeine isn't great for pregnancy but why stop chocolate?! Am I missing something? I certainly wasn't planning on giving it up..! I don't eat loads but I have a biscuit bar most days as pudding after dinner!

Thankfully I don't like coffee which in quite grateful for TTC! I do drink a can or two of Diet Coke most days though.. is the caffeine v high in those? I know it's not v good for you... but I don't drink coffee/tea or much alcohol. I exercise 4-5 times a week and rarely eat take out etc.. so it's like my main vice lol I do drink 2.5 L of water religiously each day as well! I guess I should maybe consider cutting it down or even out..

Chocolate has caffeine. And so I don't go chocolate crazy I'm avoiding it for the most part. Lol

I should introduce myself with my big story but I hate repeating it I guess you can figure it out through my siggy Well sort of.. This last loss I went through 5 week hell of bleeding though.

PuppyL0ve- I am sure chocolate will be ok as long as you don't over do it.. Though I find when there is too much temptation in the yhouse, I will over do it. You at least took caffeine(coffee) out of your diet. I have drank coffee though with my other kids and they are fine but now a days and because of all my losses, I stay away really. Might treat myself though here, and there but that's it. I do know though it lessens the chance of you getting pregnant esp if your hubby drinks too much of it and other things.. But then again there is always controversial studies out there... Some say not too much, some say, drink none.. Who knows.. I will stick with my roobios So yum..

Caf-lib is more of a uncoffee for vegans or people wanting a hot cup of coffee but something with a healthy boost. The stuff is made from chicory

As for roobios, oh my gosh the health benefits are amazing! I had no idea, and I wish i started drinking it months ago... It's actually a herb! Such a yummy tea and perfect for pregnancy as well.

Bumbleberry- I think I remember you, not sure.. Are you in the 2ww pull out commentary thread? I had a 10.3 week loss June 11th I am so sorry for your loss honey xoxo

Jsha- Hubby and I used to pull out. We conceived may of our kids and losses that way LOL He sucks at it I guess.. My last pregnancy was in June and lost it due to it being a BO at 10.3 weeks. We always pulled out and this month for some reason , he is not, so I guess we are TTC too lol.. He knows he shouldn't be letting go in me, he is usually cautious, but not anymore. Good luck xo

Bollz- I think Choco is fine as long as we don't bath in it

BabyNewbie- Triplets would be AWESOME.. I so want twins but I am trying for my 5th, yikes ...... I think i would feel blessed but then again omg I have so many kids already lol

 

[bollz]

Hehe, I'll keep eating the choccy then, phew! Weekdays I only eat a little biscuit bar a day but I do like more of a treat at the weekend! I am thankful to not like coffee, one less thing to have to give up! I do know friends who have kept drinking coffee though and their bubs are fine! I think they restricted to one a day though.. I guess everyone is different to what they can tolerate

 

[mama.mouse]

Janisdkh do you mean rooibos tea? It's Grown here in South Africa and is very good for you. I drank so much of it in my youth i didn't drink it for years lol. I make some and mix it with a little fruit juice and cool it in the fridge and drink it as an iced tea which is really lovely.

I will be honest though ladies I am still drinking coffee like normal. I apply 'drink till its pink' to both coffee and wine haha it's been so long I would have surely lost my mind by now. None of the specialists I have seen have even mentioned it. I stopped smoking when we started ttc and stopping coffee would surely result in someone's untimely death lol

Hi wifeybby, I remember u from May iui thread. Hope u got surprise this time.

Archie!! Hey girl! Thank you, I hope we both get a nice surprise this month GL! We didn't do an IUI this cycle to save money but I think TI could do the trick for us, no male factor in our case. I see you're on injections now, how are those? How many follies do you have this cycle?! If this round of Clomid doesn't work he's switching me to Femara, but I'd rather go with injectables honestly.

 

[Janisdkh]

Bollz- I think if we restrict ourselves from everything, we would stress, and in return that too is not healthy for ttc or a pregnancy Enjoy~

Mama.mouse- Yep that tea I read that it stemmed from Africa Highly used herb for tea there Actually quite a decent study on it so I am pretty happy to drink it! I will have to try an iced tea version TY!

 

[Quindalyn]

Hey Ladies!
I had my CD12 scan today and I have 2 great follies So tomorrow I trigger, then and my test date moves up to the 9th!

 

[Mum2gremlin]

thats awesome! get busy and good luck Quin!!! happy my af is finally over. we have started bding but wanna stop a few days before my fertile window. so we can give it our best shot. im not sure if that helps but they say everyday bding can be bad and with holding from it before the fertile window can help increase chances. im all about chances! hoping for our april rainbow baby!

 

[northern_me]

Hi ladies, joining in! I'll be testing around August 10!

Janisdkh - probably in TWW and/or miscarriage forums as I remember your posts as well. Sorry for your loss too lovely, sucks that we are both here at the same time again, fingers crossed we both get our rainbow babies soon xx

How's everyone doing? I'm on CD8 and BORED. This is only my 2nd cycle TTC, and I thought the tww was bad in terms of an agonising wait but at least there was the possibility that I could be pregnant, but now... just waiting, this is horrid. I know I'm being a bit melodramatic, but I think I'm just massively naive and it won't sink in that this is normal until a few more cycles down the line.

Anyway, taking vitex, EPO, prenatal vitamins and trying to eat less crap! Not sure there's much else I can do. Trying to get 3 inseminations this cycle, just hope donor is available!

 

[PuppyL0ve]

Hey cinderella. I felt extremely bored too before O. And was watching cm like a hawk but there was nothing to see lol. I don't chart or temp. I just pay close attention to cm and it's been a lil confusing compared to my last cycle. It's also my 2nd cycle ttc#1. Trying to figure out if I've O-ed or not. Felt like I dried up after a couple days of watery cm and ewcm. then I get a gush of watery cm and ewcm couple days later (yesterday). Lol

 

[wifeybby]

waiting to O is awful -- I think it's worse than the TWW sometimes. like you said, at least in 2WW you know theres a chance and all has gone good -- when you're waiting to O, it's just waiting. It's so boring!

7DPO - half way there!

Aww, puppylove, your little babydog is so cute! My dog, Levi has that tan eyebrow look too! He looks like a lot like my dog, lol! how old is s/he? Here's Levi

 

[PuppyL0ve]

Hey wifeybby! Yeah I feel you guys on the wait for O. And then I'm not even sure if I have yet. From the stories I've heard it doesn't seem super common to have ewcm after O so when I get home from work today I'm going to see if OH wants to bd again since late last night I saw lots of ewcm.

Your pup is soo cute! My dog is chi/minpin mix. He's about 7. Hard to know exactly since he's a rescue. I have another chihuahua, female but she's not as photogenic as my boy. tell me about levi. I need a distraction lol.

 

[MissDoc]

Hi there, ladies. Please add me!!! TEST DATE: August 14

I'm moving over here from July testers. I am currently on CD 10. So ready for a BFP. Really hope that this next cycle is it. I am doing the SMEP plan for bd'ing this go round, doing brazil nuts daily, pineapple during luteal phase, taking prenatal vitamin and coq10, and trying to eat well and exercise 4-5x a week.


Good luck to everyone!

 

[jwilly]

Mind if I join?? Hubby and I are back TTC and planned on ntnp this month buuuut it is starting to look like we are officially trying (I can't help myself..Lol!). If I Ov on schedule, I will be testing August 13/14!

 

[bollz]

Oh I totally agree that the wait for O is worse than the TWW! I have 34ish day cycles so I have to wait until CD20 at least which is a killer! Only upside is I try to do things I'd be cautious doing in the TWW. Last month, I went to a theme park, enjoyed a few drinks with dinner and did some runs. I know I should carry on as normal in the TWW but I am def a bit more cautious with exercise (less intense) and def don't drink!

5 DPO for me today... feeling v impatient... Just trying to make it to the weekend and then I know I'm in the week I can test!

If this round of Clomid doesn't work he's switching me to Femara, but I'd rather go with injectables honestly.

Yes I hope so too. GL! While I was trying to concieve my first I got my BFP with TI only. Hope this trick work for u. I was on clomid 100 mg for cd 5-9 but on cd 12 scan had 3 follies of very small size 0.8 and 0.9 then my doctor suggested to have injectable Gonal F 75 iu from cd 12 to 16 then scan on cd 16. On cd 16 I had 4 follies of 15.8, 11.1,10.1 and 0.9 then was again on same dose of injectables for cd 16 and 17 then scan on cd 18.

On cd 18 had two mature follies 19.1 and 17.3 and one new of small size 0.8. Don't know how body behaves with injectables....have plus minus follies in all the scan. May be becos of pcos in my case.
Had trigger shot on cd 18 and iui 36 hour later on cd 20. I followed this protocol this cycle. I hope it works as I trust my doctor.
I too find strange to have iui on cd 20 but I think it all depends on how our body reacts on medicated cycles.

Injectables were fine. Just need to insert it in stomach. Easy to insert , they are like pre filled dosage of medicine in the form of pen.Quite easy to use by urself.
I have no idea of femera but I think better to opt for injectables as I have heard lots of success stories for the same.
But anyways we are in tww. May be this one is the BFP one...so relax and enjoy...do not worry for future cycles....
Lots of baby dust ur way....

I have just used opk to try catch ovulation twice.. and both time got pg. Forat we had tried just have lot of sex for 4 months then next time we used the straight away and got pg i first try. So now ttc for third time we are not using opks. I have beem puting info pf my cycles to apps like glow, have three hahaha. Two said ovulation was yesterday and one says tomorrow. Bur im not sure. Funny thing is that often I ferl when I am ovulating, not exact time but about. And now Im not sure and worried im not ovulating.. if we keep this up for some time im not sure how I can go on for long without using opk. Just promised my dh we would not use anything like that more ntnp.
Im on cd 20 today and I usualy have 35 days (have for the most part of 1 year) so tomorrow is more likely. But aint feeling ovulation like.. iff you know what I mean?
So im wondering if I am out. And also because wr dnt bd yesterday when the að said I ovulated. But we did today and also 2 days ago.
