Mama Bears TTC a rainbow - join us :)-- (69 ladies so far)-(29 BFP's!)

[krulci]

I have a canker right now too (I always get them when I'm stressed, so not much of a symptom for me - sorry!) and was looking up natural remedies when I came across oil pulling. Have any of you heard of it? It said in the article that it promotes fertility, whitens teeth, gets rid of acne, clears sinus infections, etc etc. I started doing it last night and I'm already feeling a difference! My canker is healing quite a bit faster and my teeth feel like I just had a cleaning. And hey, whatever promotes fertility is worthwhile, right?

krulci - my husband told me about this. He's done it a couple times. I've never done it though. But I just may! Thanks for the link. Very interesting.

Just had a look but in the comments it says it can make your fillings come out so no good for me unfortunately.

Krulci: I knew I was having LP issues because AF would show when I had faint lines on HPT. My journey was this...

The first 2 cycles... I didn't pay much attention. So, I don't know about the LP. (Cycle 4 & Cycle 6 were the only 2 cycles I had where my LP was fine.) But, I also implanted. One cycle the tests just stayed faint, but got darker... Digi's were 1-2. The other one the tests got darker, digi was fine, but took the next test and it was faint. AF came the next day.

Cycle 1: BFN
Cycle 2: BFN
Cycle 3: 8 day LP
Cycle 4: MC 4w5d
Cycle 5: 8 day LP
Cycle 6: MC 5w4d
Cycle 7: MC 4w1d (9 day LP)
Cycle 8: MC 4w2d (10 day LP)
Cycle 9: PREGNANT

Squig: Mine are inside my mouth. I had them with Dragon, Zoela, and currently I have about 4. I did have one in my 2ww this time too. Its a great sign of hormonal changes. It's about time... You were due your sticky yesterday! This month is it!

LeahLou: 8dpo... testing EEEEEEK!!! I feel good about this month.

Conina: Swim spermies swim... Lots of your way!

Renae: I hope they know why its not happening and that you are pregnant super soon. It's so good something is finally being done.

C: Ready to see your squinters! I just feel you are going to be very happily surprised this cycle.

AngelBaby: Have a nice time with hubby home! It's not going to be long before you see those lines and join us all.

Button: I'm happy you are trying the progesterone cream. If its prescribed by the infertility specialist the dose is 400mg, So getting about 44mg a day will not hurt. Also... sometimes all is needed is a little. I really think it will do good for you since you are still lactating!

Yay for squinters... Can't wait for conception to happen. x

I got my crosshairs this morning! I can officialy say that I now do have normal regular cycles for three months in a row (even with spotting 2 first cycles) for the first time in 3 years!!! my body is working the way it did before I got pregnant with DD. Woohoo!

 

[confuzion]

Yay that's great angelbaby! Your chart looks great!

 

[Button#]

That's brilliant Angelbaby.

 

[Squig34]

Yay for a smiley face Conina, GL!

FX for you Leah

Button, good that your levels are dropping, I hope it's a negative asap and you can get to trying again.

I've never heard of oil pulling Krulci! I might try it, but 20 minutes to swill it is quite long, I suspect I'd end up swallowing some. I also wouldn't have time to do this in the morning. But if it has such instantaneous effects, that's very interesting! Although I must check if I have any silver fillings. I don't think so...

Great news that your body has finally regulated itself, Angel!

AFM, I finally got an appointment with the RMC I heard good things about in an online forum. It's on 1st May. Since I haven't heard anything back about a follow up appointment with the not-very-helpful-and-who-I-didn't-actually-see consultant in February, I'm happy about this - hopefully this means I will finally have someone put a protocol in place for me for my next pregnancy (if it hasn't happened this month). It'll be 7.5 months since my last m/c when I see this guy and I don't have anything yet to help give me a better chance next time.

 

[Leinzlove]

Angelbaby: So happy to hear! You're going to get pregnant! x

Squig: That is wonderful news... I'm so tired of Dr's doing nothing.

 

[krulci]

Squig: how long have you been ttc in total? I hope this means a speedy BFP for you!!

AFM: 8 DPO and a BFN. Though I have a load of would-be symptoms, I've had them every cycle since the MC. I'm starting to wonder if there's an underlying issue... Blah.

Anyone else testing? This thread is past-due for BFPs!!

 

[Squig34]

Anyone else testing? This thread is past-due for BFPs!!

Yes it is!

Squig: how long have you been ttc in total? I hope this means a speedy BFP for you!!

It will be 3 years next month. I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if I'm not pg this month with nothing in place to stop me from losing the baby again, 1st May is good timing for the next cycle

 

[confuzion]

I'm SO glad you've got someone to see now squig! It would definitely be nice if they finally did something for you!

Krulci - only 4 DPO here so still a while before any 'conclusive' tests. But that won't stop me from testing in the meantime

 

[Angelbaby_01]

I can't wait to join you ladies with all the ttc and symptoms talk. Don't think I will test early again though because I wasted tests last cycle.

 

[Button#]

I ordered some OV tests and hpts today from amazon and it was a pack where you get 50 tests in total but you can have how many you want of each. So I emailed them to say how many of each and the seller replied wishing me luck. I thought that was nice.

 

[jmandrews]

Got my HCG level results back! It was less than 2. She said that I should be expecting a period soon if I haven't already had one.
I have a question if anyone can answer if for me.
I MC on Tuesday March 11, stopped bleeding March 18th, and then exactly one week late on March 25th I started bleeding again. It was dark and only a little heavy one day but then went to spotting for a week. Do I count that as a period or do u think that was just apart of the MC?
I just wish I knew what my body was doing so DH and I can start TTC.

 

[lesh07]

Hi ladies well af arrived today bang on time. Had a false positive cheapie yesterday as did one a couple of hours later and straight up stark white. On to cycle 5!!! Boooo... 3 more cycles and I will be at the same time it took to conceive the last baby. I just want to be one of these ladies who fall pregnant in 2-3 months. xx

 

[Leinzlove]

Jmandrews: I'm sorry for your loss. But that doesn't sound like your AF to me. More cleansing. My first AF didn't arrive until CD40. I counted day one of MC bleeding as CD1. I ovulated on CD32 but had an 8 day LP. I did, I tried taking OPK's every day after the bleeding stopped. I sure hope you can get back to trying super fast! A rainbow is coming!

Lesh: I'm so sorry to hear this hun! I hope you are one of those ladies also that fall quickly.

 

[confuzion]

Jmandrews - doesn't sound like a period to me either. Everyone's experience after a MMC is different. After mine I ovulated on CD 17 and had a normal period on CD30. So not long at all.

I hope it doesn't take long for you.

Lesh - so sorry hon. Hopefully next cycle is your BFP cycle

 

[Leinzlove]

Wow C! You even had a nice LP. That's your super young body there!

 

[confuzion]

Lol that or the fact that I miscarried naturally. How about you leinz? Did you wait for natural MC or go with the D&C?
