MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[ALiKO]

This thread looks awesome can I join!

Hey ladies i am currently CD 3 so at the moment I'm not planning on testing until June. If possible I would like to be put as TBA until I'm absolutely certain of O. to everyone!

Oh and quick question, does anyone know how to increase CM?

Welcome to our group! Fingers crossed for a BFP!

To increase cm:
This site suggests things like avoiding nicotine, caffeine, drinking more water, taking guaifenesin (cough medicines), being healthy, not using chemical products, evening primrose oil, and increasing vitamin c.

This site suggests drinking more water, using nutritional supplements, herbs, and sperm friendly lubricants.

Anyone have personal experiences with it?

Thanks so much for the response. I will definitely try cutting out the caffeine and increasing my water intake to see if that helps. Also I was thinking of implementing a quick 30mins workout routine I can do everyday just to get the blood pumping and everything moving and grooving down there haha

Fertility Frenemy is at it again... caught up on my chart after a crazy week (including a few poorly-timed temps) and the research detector says I ovulated on CD 16, which currently disagrees with the advanced and FAM detectors. I've been lazy about OPKs, only using them with FMU because the last few cycles my LH surge has lasted about a day and a half and I've caught it the first time in the morning... so I *might* be 3 DPO, but I also might still be waiting to ovulate... only time will tell...

Just thought I'd give you guys an update - usually I have a 34 day cycle and ovulate on CD21. This cycle, I ovulated on CD14 and on CD18 and today I have had a little spotting which has stopped both times.
I have tested this morning although I am pretty sure it is too early, I only got an evap. Please can you decide for me when I should test? at the moment I think I am on the chart on the 14th or 15th?

Heres this morning's test ladies! Still too early to know for sure.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Aww damn it, got myself all pumped up seeing you had updated! Lol still really early though!!

 

[Mies]

Have been bad about keeping up with this group; it's moving sooo fast, though!

Hope you are all doing well and I hope to see some BFPs pop up on the first page!

I also dropped by to say I moved my test date forward, to the 5th of May.

Well guys, here you go! Bright and early BFP! It's light, but I'm only 11dpo! Last time I didn't get a +til 15dpo, so here's hoping this one sticks. SO EXCITED!!! Hoping the Doc can run HCG quantities this morning along with my scheduled Progesterone draw. Hope it shows up in the picture. It definitely shows up in real life!!
Have a good day everyone! I know I will even if I am a tad nauseous!

Congratulations!!! I would also know what the sensitivity of the test was? That is the clearest BFP I think Ive ever seen at 11DPO xx

 

[ClandestineTX]

Congrats! No squinting required, definitely a BFP!

Ohh, awesome! looks great, I hope I get that too! My last +HPT was at the end of August last year, also MC in Oct like you, and a bunch of BFNs since then...

Congrats melann!!!

THANKS EVERYONE! I'm beyond thrilled. Went to the doc for my prog draw, so I got to tell the nurses (they're always the first to know... I wouldn't tell anyone else this early) They all congratulated me and they were able to put in an order for the Beta HCG as well. Should have results this afternoon, which won't really mean anything until I get the follow up draw on Saturday at Urgent Care.
I most definitely know exactly where the implantation is, right near the crease between abdomen and leg on the R side (where I O'd from). I'd been experiencing sciatica on that side since about 6-7dpo. I had a temp dip on 8dpo and cramps the night of 7dpo (and mild ones since). I have had fake temp dips before, but this one was apparently real!
These are the tests https://www.amazon.com/Combo-Ovulation-Pregnancy-Test-Strips/dp/B0026995KO/ref=pd_sim_hpc_7
It says 25mIU on the page, I have heard that they are more sensitive than that though. I should know by this afternoon just how much it was measuring though since the blood was taken about 1.5 hours after the BFP. Will let you guys know. I have been using these OPKS and HPTs for a few months with good luck.

Just bought some- so much cheaper than the drug store! Wish I had known about those months ago!

I will say that with the OPKs I had the best luck if I started at about CD10 and kept them to compare. Otherwise I'd start to question whether it was + or not. I temp and keep track of CM to confirm as well.
