Hey LADIES!! congrats to both of you!! exciting times!
Im feeling particularly PMS-y with my mood all over the place and a mean headache. i did test yesterday and it was a BFN, and Ive been getting cramps, so I might be out this month. If AF doesnt come friday ill test again but im not super hopeful.
I dont know if I should starttemping since my cycles are so long... maybe im just OV on completly different dates.. I just dont know how to do it.
any suggestions?
Sabster its definately hard not knowing whats going on and kind of just putting all your hope in guesses...sorry this might be a long post lol....but i want to tell you my story and what I have done and what has helped others.....and honestly ladies I think this might be a great idea for everyone to try at least once...
I usually have 35 days cycles....they have since shortened and I'll tell you what slowly shortened my periods in 3 months...but first, like I said I had 35 day cycles, O day on CD 21...month after month I felt O pains on CD15 and +OPK's, but also I had +OPK's on cd 20...so i was always confused about when I actually O'd (which was on CD 21)...
One day my hubby's gma told to take Geritol, "There's a baby in every bottle," is what she told me lol
So I did some research on Geritol and found out most ladies actually get thier BFP the 1st month they start Geritol and for some ladies it takes up to 3 months....Geritol is a multivitamin, they have 2 forms pill form; Geritol Complete and the liquid form; Geritol Tonic (tastes horrible but works faster than complete, gets into your blood stream quicker)...Geritol claims to have, "Every vitamin and mineral established essential in human nutrition," and since Geritol is so packed with all that good stuff, it makes sense....your body may simply be lacking a specific or a combo of vitamins that may be inhabiting your ablity to successfully concieve....I've seen some stories where women start Geritol 2 weeks into thier cycles and get thier BFP!!! P.S. Geritol both forms gave me hot flashes...bad side effect, but gave me TONS and TONS of CM during my fertile period (I never see EWCM!!!) GOOD side effect...its soooo worth it!!!!
I personally started taking Geritol Complete because I couldn't gut the taste of the Tonic, so...
1st month BFN (but cycle 3 days shorter!!!! from 35 days to 32 days),
2nd month BFN (but cycle 2 days shorter from 32 days to 30 days),
after 2 month on Complete I switched to Tonic (which was very hard as its taste is really hard to swallow, its really really REALLY iron-y and has a strong metallic taste and the after taste of it tastes as if you just threw up, but didnt brush your teeth, which honestly makes me gag but its worth a baby in the end) the Tonic form was my magic potion because this was my 1st month on Tonic and I think I may have gotten my BFP and hey even if I dont get my BFP, at least my periods have shortened by 5 a whole days in 2 months and I honestly can add 3 days to that because I think I O'd 3 days early this month too.....Ladies I think Geritol will be the answer to alot of women ttc so go give it a try...Geritol Complete and Geritol Tonic is available at Walgreen, CVS, Walmart, Rite Aid, etc...and I do know that its not available in th UK so some ladies might have to order it online...I hope this helped someone
P.S. Ladies when your taking this vitamin (and hopefully you do this with any medication or vitamin you take) TAKE WITH FOOD...alot of women wanna know why medication or vitamins dont work for them but if your taking ANY kind of pill whether ttc or not if you take something by mouth if theres no food on your stomach your body will NOT absorb it properly and it will NOT WORK properly....so please please please take ALL not just this one but ALL your meds and vitamins wih food!!!! I usually take it immediately after I eat.
GL Ladies!!!
Are you using OPK's? I would highly recommend charting. I was only using OPK's before (which I'm assuming were pretty correct) but this month temped as well and without having temped, I would be freaking out today as according to OPK's I should've gotten period today or tomorrow and once I get a +OPK, my OH and I usually stop BDing three days after. BUT I knew I hadn't actually ovulated because my temps hadn't gone up so we kept BDing and now according to my temps I ovualted an entire week later than OPK estimated. 
but the funny thing is I catch myself right after I am moody and I apologize. He gives me the "you are going crazy" look. I've never been like that! Since I started getting all of these symptoms, my moods have been up and down! All over the place. I am so excited to see if I have a little bean cooking. I will try to update you guys as soon as I find out. If it is too early I may get a BFN, but then I will retest again if I miss my period. The 
is due between tomorrow and Sunday. Keep your fingers crossed for me, or keep me in your prayers! I know I haven't been TTC very long, but I am sure all of you understand that no matter how long we have each been trying, it seems like forever! Thank you ladies. Good luck to you guys!!
