Mid-August Testers

[Srbjbex]

Thanks lisette! Even thigh I'm feeling rubbish about it, it really does help to be able to share it with you guys, you are all lovely, and all deserve BFPs!!!! I actually hope none of you will be with me next month, but if you are then it's nice to know there are lovely people to share things with

Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming.....

Right now I am going to have a glass of wine!

 

[MrsBea23]

Great idea Bex a big glass of for you.

The OPK's seemed to work for you this month so I would probably stick with those, are you temping (sorry can't remember) if not then I would definitely start doing that and see if you like it or not. You seem to be ok with the fertile cm so I wouldn't worry about that too much although if you want to increase it naturally then pineapple and grapefruit juice are good. And I would stick to SMEP. Red raspberry leaf tea is good up to O to make sure the lining is strong enough to hold the egg.

Lisette what does the green tea do? Hope its not AF for you hun and it is just cramping from the bubba in there.

bex- keep your head up. I am trying to have PMA, but honestly I have felt so normal that I am almost positive we will be together again next go around!

Ladies, I couldn't agree with y'all more, my hubby and I have already had the talk about the while drinking while I'm preggo. I am not cutting him off just have asked that he respects me and doesnt get baligerant just because he'll have a DD.

Keeping fingers crossed would love to see you all blessed with a BFP this month!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Bex definately the wine will help for now & get those sushi cravings out of the way now too (if that's your thing!) Feel better tmmr hun : )

Bea, I read on The Bump that green tea really helps and POM juice as well for CM so this cycle I tried Pom Green Tea at nights...really tasty and relaxing...not sure if it actually worked, I'm still kinda new to all the charting and checking stuff! Thanks for the positive vibes...I have a feeling it won't be this cycle but will try to stay positive!

Fingers crossed for us all! You ladies are really sweet and I hope to move along these boards with you

 

[Srbjbex]

Thanks guys.... Felling better this morning. I'm going to take your advice and spend the next week or so eating sushi, rare steak, blue cheese, and mayonnaise!!

Think will start doing my temps and look into getting some of the teas you recommend.
to you all!!!!!

I'm getting impatient. 7 dpo... but I know I shouldn't test yet.

 

[NotNic]

What a difference a day makes! I've started spotting and feeling really grumpy about everything. Grr! I'm pretty certain this means I'm out, so sorely tempted to do a test tomorrow just to be sure that I am. Though the flaws in this arguments are 1) it's too early for an accurate test, and 2) if it is IB rather than AF spotting then I won't get a BFP for at least 3 days anyway! Alnd 3) if I do get a BFP then I'm unlikely to believe it until I'm officially late in case it is a chemical BFP!

I love being on here, but I do wonder how less stressed I would have been about the whole babymaking process if I didn't have 24 hour access to google!!

Sorry girls on the spotting and AF's.

Not much new with me. Just feeling fine. And waiting impatiently. Had an odd temp dip at 4 dpo. Don't think it's much of anything - read online it is a secondary estrogen surge and can't find much more info about it.

 

[Jazavac]

I had a weird dip on day 3, but I don't really think it's of any concern or relevance.

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies, I know it's hard to stay positive. Right now, I have in my mind nope not gonna happen this month. This 2ww I have felt so normal it's weird. Last month I symptom spotted like crazy. I am 8 dpo and tempted to test but afraid if it is a bfn then it will send me into an even less optimistic attitude. What to do?!?!

NotNic- I am with you 100% about google. My sister and DH have told me to stay away from the Internet, but I can't seem to do so. What does this mean? Is this an early pregnancy sign? What are others 8dpo symptoms? It can start to drive you insane.

I am finding comfort in this thread knowing there are others out there feeling the same way and having a place to come and vent if need be. I am just so in the baby mindset. I hope and pray it happens, but feel down about at the same time!

Surely one of us will get a BFP! Maybe that will cause us all to be more hopeful again!

 

[MrsBea23]

CH - Such a teacher fixing your spelling, not sure if it works for you but I have an edit button on the post after it has gone live and I can go and change my post (I think).

I would wait to test hun, I tested at 9dpo and now have lost all hope and PMA for this month. If it is your month you will have to come back and chat to us though, fx'd for you .

Bex - glad you are feeling better today .

Notnic - Sorry you are spotting hun, I really hope it is IB for you. Do you normally spot before AF?

Snowflake & Jaza - Hope it doesn't feel too long for you, the waiting bit is so boring.

 

[CHDickey]

MrsBea lol. I know, I am so silly when it comes to spelling. My thoughts go faster than I type. I am just going to wait. If I'm late then I'll test. Buying preggo tests can be expensive.

I say not matter what happens will still stay connected for support!! Being women we know we need it!

 

[MrsBea23]

CH - Hopefully we won't be to far apart and we can start up a thread in the 1st tri section.

Lisette - forgot to say in my last post thanks for letting me know about the green tea I am going to add that his month for sure.

 

[NotNic]

I never, ever did before going on BCP or while on it, but it seems to happen quite a lot post BCP. Another things is my cycles have always been well-behaved 28 dayers, and the time I actually need them to be textbook, they all go squiffy! If AF starts tomorrow, or the day after than I am looking at a short cycle again and a very short LP

I have just booked an appointment with my Doctor for Saturday just to see if they can shed any light. I have heard that B6 supplements can help, and that coming off BCP can affect hormone levels and perhaps my body is taking longer to shift things. I fully expect they will tell me to come back in 6 months though, but it can't hurt to ask, right?

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hi ladies,

Same here, 8 DPO and the 2WW feels like forever!! Really happy to have you girls to relate to

Temps are still high but the symptoms keep coming and going...I'm more or less sure I'm out this cycle but still really wanna fast forward to the weekend and be able to test...still trying to be a little hopeful...starting on a new healthy eating plan today so maybe that will help....

FX for you all! Hang in there!

 

[Srbjbex]

Thanks for all the support guys! to you all, and I really hope one of you gets a bfp this month.

 

[doopersgurl]

[CHDickey]

Okay ladies I have a horrific headache. One of two things: AF or rise in hormones?? Because I am in a poopy mood. I am going with AF! Blah!

How are y'all. Did everyone resist the temp to test today?
