first cycle actively trying (June 2015)

[Velathria]

I tried the pineapples but didn't really do nothing.. but I can't say anything yet.. don't think a sperm united with the egg though... lol

I know what you mean gina.. I am trying to give up my cup of coffee a day... thinking maybe it's bad.. but I read today that 200mg of caffeine is ok per day and a cup of brewed coffee is 200mg.. so I can drink that one cup. I am getting severe headaches from not drinking my coffee...

Monster drinks aren't healthy anyway.. those things are really bad for you... but my bf drinks those things too... I keep trying to make him stop... hope those things aren't doing bad things to his sperm...

 

[Velathria]

Really baby aspirin? Mmmh that's something you wouldn't think xD

Magicalmom I hope you catch it this time. Let me know about that mucinex. I seem to have a problem with my cm too.. hope it works for you this time.

Lots of baby dust for your

Me and my DH both drink them. I was working full time and going to school full time and needed them to make it through the day. Now it's just an addiction. They actually have less caffeine than the 200 mg, I think it's 160mg per can but all the other chemicals are so bad. I've been trying to quit for years lol. I go through spurts of not drinking them at all for awhile and then something will happen and I'll start drinking them every day and have to wean myself off them again. Lol. As soon as I am definitely pregnant I won't touch them but until then I cave every few days lol.

PLEASE stop taking those energy drinks! I had an addiction to them for YEARS... sometimes 2 per day (or even 3), and I think they have contributed to the scar tissue on my liver. Never been a drinker (alcohol) and that's usually how you get scar tissue on your liver...that or taking certain medications, which I never had, so I really think it was the energy drinks.

I have replaced energy drinks with coffee. It's sooooooooooo much cheaper, and even though it may not be good to drink more than 200 mg of coffee a day, it's a really good replacement when trying to get over your addiction to energy drinks.

So true... I drank monster drinks once before but then I started drinking coffee again and that is much more healthier... I drink coffee black now too.. so no sugar or milk. I used to drink a cup a day when I was pregnant with my son and everything was fine with him. so I think I'll keep drinking my coffee a day.

I know magical I've been trying. I switched to the rehab ones for awhile then only had them on weekends. My dh used to drink 2 or 3 a day along with coffee. Caffeine doesn't effect him and he liked the taste so he would drink them all the time. I've gotten him to cut back alot. I know how bad they are but I live the taste. I have never drank a cup of coffee. I never wanted to need it like my parents. So instead I drank monster and ended up addicted to that so I would have been better off with the coffee in the first place lol.

If I get pregnant this month, I will give ALLLLLLL the credit to Mucinex! For some reason, I have a SUPER good feeling about it. I'm really thinking I'm gonna get my BFP this month!

 

[Velathria]

Would've been better to get addicted to coffee xD

 

[Velathria]

Oh I so hope you do magicalmom I have a good feeling this month too with my maca root and opks hopefully we won't miss the egg this time.

 

[gina236]

I am right there with you guys. I'm hoping for a repeat of last month but with the progesterone to stop me from having miscarriage again. to all of us!!

Hey everyone. It has been a little bit since I've posted.
I've taken a couple of tests throughout the month, but they've all been negative.

Today, AF came, but it's weirder than usual. I usually get a REALLY heavy period; like, tampon + pad for the first two days. This time, it's super dark (like, brown) and way lighter than normal. Is there any chance that could be due to being pregnant???

 

[gina236]

There is definitely a chance. Brown blood is old blood so it could be something left over from implantation or something. I would take a test and see what it says.

Interesting. Do you think I should take it now, or wait until AF is gone? Thanks for the advice

 

[gina236]

I personally would do it now because I have no patience haha. But if you want to wait and see if the bleeding increases or changes it might save you wasting a test if that's not the case. But I'd say haha

 

[Velathria]

I have another good feeling about this month for all of us...

And then it's a few days before AF due and I'll be sitting here all whiny again saying that I know I am out xD so what CD would you be at now gina?

 

[gina236]

I believe I'm CD 2. If I'm still pregnant I'd be 15 dpo. Lol.

 

[Velathria]

Sophiedaphne... didn't you come off a bc? Or was thay someone else ? Lol cause it can happen that your AF changes coming off of the BC.. if not then I'd also say

Nope, that wasn't me, haha. I dunno, now it looks a little redder. I've wasted SO many tests this month, lol. I'm probably just wishfully thinking I should probably just wait. *sad*

 

[Velathria]

Is your AF still being weird? Mine is over already with a few little spots. .. I'm CD3 I hope your are still pregnant. is Morning sickness still coming on?

 

[Velathria]

I had that 2 months ago. It was literally black and hardly anything for two days and I thought I still was and then It suddenly got heavy and red so yeah it can happen like that I guess. Depends on your diet lately... maybe you ate something different?
