CD01 today - Who is with me?

[hanrh]

CD01 of cycle 3 today. Feeling frustrated at how difficult this baby making seems to be! Anyone else starting their cycle today and want to go through this one together? Would be nice to have someone to talk to!

hi !
well I'm CD7 on C4, but I can join and chat if you want ! It's so long to wait indeed !

hi lola

the wait is so long... I don't know what I would do without this forum to keep my mind occupied!
Are you trying anything differently this cycle? I have just bought preseed which I have seen recommended on here.

I'm taking vitamins this month,C, E and B complex + zinc+ selenium. I read I was good for fertility.
How are your cycles? are you regular? and do you temp?
It's my 2nd cycle temping, and I never used OPK, but I might try. I was on bcp, so my body had to adjust.

I have been taking folic acid. Do you take your supplements as one pill or all separate? I read today that b6 aids fertility.

My cycles are generally regular (28 day) but I had a chemical pregnancy first cycle which messed up my last cycle. Seems to be a proper period this month though so hoping will be back to normal.

I have been using clear blue fertility monitor which I really like. Have just ordered a bbt thermometer to start temping too. What about u ?

 

[lola33]

It makes 3 pills a day for the vitamins. Not that bad. My husband is also taking the zinc/selenium, I read it could help too. You should use fertility friend app, it's pretty cool and detects your O.

Oh yes I downloaded that today actually (see my signature!). I love it! Have been watching all of the videos in there too - I swear this ttc business has turned me into a crazy woman!!!
I bought preseed today also -have u ever tried that? I read lots o good reviews on here about it.
I think I need to look more into vitamins ...

 

[lola33]

sorry, I didn't see your signature !
I was actually reading about preseed today. So much good reviews in here and on amazon ! maybe I'll try next month if I don't end up with a bfp!
How old are you? I'm 35, and I hope it won't add time. It's only been 4 months ttc, but like you said it's getting me crazy !

 

[hanrh]

I am 27. This is only my 3rd month but it feels like a lifetime. I feel like it will never happen!!! I always thought it would be so easy but the more I read the more complicated it appears to be!!
Is this your first ttc?

 

[lola33]

yes first time ! It wasn't the good time before. I thought it would go faster too. My best friend got pregnant the 1st month trying and she's my age. Another one got it in 3 months trying.
Maybe we're just impatient..
I had so many weird symptoms on the 1st month, I really thought it was good..
I hope we both get it fast !
Maybe pre seed will work for you ! fingers crossed

I agree, everywhere i look people are pregnant! And everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to have a baby! I haven't mentioned it to anyone yet!! Have you?

Our bodies are horrible to us! I have felt nauseous all month last moth but obviously didn't mean anything!

 

[lola33]

Were you on bcp? my 1st month I had cramping, nausea, backache, migraines.. the 2nd month I was 4 days late, 3rd was good. So maybe now I'm good. I hope..
I haven't said to anyone either. I don't think I will.. I don't want them to ask me questions and all.
Are you bding everyday? I try to do every other day. A little more around my fertile window !

 

[hanrh]

i had the coil until September 13 and then bcp after that. Stopped taking it in January - seems to be taking long time to come out of my system completely like you said. How long were you on it for?
same as you bding every other day and then using my fertitlity monitor. When it shows high/peak bding every day. Thinking this month whether it would be worth, more than once a day when on peak?? Not sure if it would help??
When do you usually O? I was CD11 last month - cant wait until af is over this month!

 

[lola33]

hi
I was on bcp for more than 10 years.. last cycle was the 1st temping, so I'm not sure if my O will be on the same date this month. I O'd on CD16. We'll see...
I think once a day is good on the peak, but can't hurt to do it more ! But I read sperm needs to "rest".. so maybe once a day is enough.

We should O around the same time since I'm 7 days after AF !

Ah that's good news, means we can face the tww together!
