Need a TTC buddy

[BabyDreamer82]

ooh Cedarwood fx for you!!

 

[LaRockera]

She got me

PS. I'm taking August off. I want to enjoy the rest of my summer, period.

Sounds good. Relaxing will probably help - you could come off your break and get a right away!

Well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't I've convinced myself that I'm taking the break for my own sake and it's not some kind of - achieving trick, so not particularly hopeful. I don't even plan to that much either, and I've had a fair amount of cocktails and wines these past few days.

Don't worry about pains and cm, do what you have to do and it will work. After my last fiasco with the nausea I quit trying to spot even the most unusual of symptoms. I've read that most of the times symptoms don't even start before you're well into your fourth week, so there, I'm going by that rule from now on.

Cedarwood, don't let the witch come any near you

 

[CedarWood]

Thanks for the wellwishes girls

Confused

So hold on, you mean you've had an evap? Or do you clearly see something forming where the second line is supposed to be? I'm MEGA-excited now Have you taken a second test?

I absolutely, sincerely, wholeheartedly, utterly, completely, indisputably wish a is on its way !!!

 

[CedarWood]

Thanks LR

I can't decide - too faint - the test was a 25 ml - called Frau Test

I need to go out and get more tests - will be back home in the eve to test again.

Smog/haze is really bad today - even in the metro The paper said last week - Thurs - breathing the smog was the same as smoking 2 packs of cigs in 2 hrs.

I need to go back out anyway

 

[membas#1]

Cedar--just wanted to share my experience regarding that same thing--that's what my 10DPO test looked like on a cheap dollar tree test, 20 ml. I first chalked it up to evap line, but since I hadn't ever seen one of those before, I decided to purchase a 10 ml test for later in the day and got my faint but visible BFP. GL! Fx'd for you!!!!

 

[MinneGirl]

OMG Cedar, this could be it!!!!!!!! ANY line in my book would be amazing to see!!!

PLEASE test again tonight with a good one! FX'd so tight for you!!!

As for me, well, it was a really sad day on Saturday . I had a MAJOR pity party for myself when the witch arrived. Hubs sat with me and cheered me up though, as he always does. He is the sweetest. So now, onto August Right? I can't decide what to try this month.

Membas, please remind me...you guys did it every day or twice a day? A friend of mine told me to try every 12 hours around fertile time. I'm thinking we might give that a go.

 

[membas#1]

Hi Minne--yep, we did every 12 hours...our intention was to do every 12 hours in the few fertile days before O and the day of O and the day after--so we planned on 4 days of 2x/day, which we did but, we also ended up starting earlier with sometimes 2x/day and sometimes 1x/day since I thought O was coming early....but new research is showing that if your SO is healthy and presumably 'young' that sex every 12 hours is slightly more likely to result in pregnancy than sex every other day. Doesn't mean that every other day won't work...but people are too worried about using up healthy sperm (I was worried about it too), but after looking into what some fertility specialists are recommending--i.e. people aren't enough!, we decided to go for it. My SO took zinc everyday of the month especially those days and he ate a very healthy diet. Sounds like you guys already eat really healthy. SO didn't drink during the month and doesn't smoke.

GL to you! Fx'd.

 

[membas#1]

here's my chart for reference with BD pattern. The XX are the days we did every 12 hours.

 

[MinneGirl]

Thanks SO much Membas! I think we are going for it! My hunch is telling me we aren't Bd'ing enough. Also, how long did you lie in bed for each time? Hips raised?

What vitamins did you take? I'm going to go get DH zinc...just regular zinc? I am making this MY MONTH!!!!!!!

 

[CedarWood]

Hi girlies,

Could only find other 25 ml tests so decided to wait.
Membas - I would have tested again if could have found a better testthat is pretty cool when that happens!

TMI cm still wet but now a bit more watery and less err thick so not sure a good sign, as could be prog dropping but boobs still ache. They just hurt pretty often and that is not normal for me. Have had some cramping which could go either way.
Will see what tomorow brings.

Minniegirl - I got preg before with someone that liked twice a day weekdays and 3/4 times on weekend days. Good luck with the future bed-a-thon

Yep, regular zinc 15mg/day. I took evening primrose for 3 months leading up to our first TTC effort--it helped increase my EWCM but did take a few months to really notice the difference there. In our TTC month I took EPO up to O and then stopped (don't take after O). I also took multi, FA, drank red raspberry tea (until O) on some days.

As for lying in bed after YES. For at least 20 minutes if I could, hips elevated on pillows. I would try for longer if I didn't have to pee but on average 20-30 min was my limit. SO would get up after and make me breakfast and what not so I wouldn't get up...it was sweet and probably the only time he really has ever been adamant that I stay in bed! He'd get me water, bring me whatever I wanted. He was more adamant than I was and when one day I didn't want to he told me we had to, this was our critical time....he said we could take a break after all was said and done. Some days I felt like he was more on board with our 12 hour plan than I was...but it did get old for us both in the end....but I'm glad we kept it up! GL to you!

Don't read too much into the CM--I had completely dry CM when I got my BFP and it was that way for a few weeks after my BFP. I've only just started to regularly see otherwise.

 

[MinneGirl]

what is FA?

 

[membas#1]

Folic Acid...if you haven't started it, do it

 

[MinneGirl]

All I take right now is nature maid prenatal...???

 

[membas#1]

how much folic is in it? i don't take a prenatal, instead a multivitamin, so i have to supplement with FA. my doctor recommended 800 mg FA. so that's what I take. there's a bit of FA in my multi but not much.

 

[Mrs-C]

CedarWood - I hope this is it for you!

No real updates from me. Still no cm to speak of. Another odd cycle for me.
Maybe this won't happen for us My body is acting differently every month.

[MinneGirl]

Keep your chin up Mrc-C...lots of women don't get any CM and fall pregnant! It sounds like you have done everything you can do for this cycle, so stay positive!

LaRockera, I think that is great that you are going to ENJOY your summer and being a newlywed. That is such a fun and special time.

Tonight I picked up my evening primose oil and raspberry leaf tea I have to try something new each cycle...makes me have more hope.

Hugs girls
