October Sticky Beans!

[cscbeth8421]

This is my nap time chore today. Worst.idea.ever. If we didnt have a dog that sheds, i wouldnt be doing this! Gah!

 

[todmommy4568]

Beth that looks horrible lol I would be regretting that decision haha.

Angel SMEP sounds like a wonderful idea! Just remember it is only one month while you are forcing yourself.

I can't wait for you guys to start peeing on stuff and having things going on! I hope you guys don't mind me sticking around, I am not ready to pop over to first tri yet and even when I am I don't want to leave you guys haha

Don't mind you staying around at all todmommy!!! I want to hear all the details about your lovely pregnancy! Plus, who else is going to egg us on to test when it is way too early?

I started to get EWcm today. At first i thought it was just left over from BD last night, because that happens, but it's definitely EWcm. I have finally started to be able to tell the difference. I think it could also be from the Evening Primrose Oil but I've only been back on it for a day, and it doesn't usually work that fast for me. So it feels like definitely a chance of early O?!

Going to do OPK today and see how close I am. I typically do the "slow build" thing so we'll see how much of a line I get.

If I get an early O then SMEP will be really easy this month

Ok ladies, today is CD8. I took an OPK on a whim after my workout. I had about a 2 hour hold since my last bathroom visit, but I also drank about 20oz of water during my work out. It's clearly a negative OPK, but it's using very diluted urine. I'm just surprised at how dark it is based on the "sample" I used and the fact that it is SO early in my cycle (O is usually around CD16).

I'm going to test again this afternoon, after a legitimate hold, but I think it looks like I'm definitely gearing up to O (hopefully soon).

PS: It looks darker in person. lol

 

[todmommy4568]

You've got a point there angel, I need to be the cheerleader for unnecessary testing! I am hoping you O early, that would be exciting! That OPK definitely looks dark for CD8 and drinking decent amount of water

 

[Blackrain90]

Sitting in my car outside the gym procrastinating because...well working out sucks haha!

yes Todmommy please stick around!!!!

And Angel holy that is dark for this early! Yippee!

Anyone on vitex notice wicked acne? I have bad acne allll over my neck, shoulders and chest that I haven't had since I was 16! Has been the past 4 weeks or so.

 

[todmommy4568]

I was on vitex but I imagine a much smaller dose, I always struggle with some acne on my chin but I did notice on those pills I had more in odd places that I don't normally get it.

I'm not really cramping like I have been the last couple days and it has me worried. Lol I see all these posts about ladies worried about cramping and here I am wanting mine to stay, I did have a tiny bit today but not near as much as I have. I am very anxious to test tomorrow morning and see a darker line, feeling optimistic haha. And this time I am not going to drink a bunch before bed, going to stop at 8 I think.

 

[Angel5000]

I did a second OPK this afternoon after a 3.5 hr hold, and no liquid. It was about the same darkness as the previous one. Still, pretty dark for CD8. Showed DH today and he was surprised at how dark it was, of course he didn't realize it has to be the same darkness as the control, but still he understands that it means O will be coming up soon. His response: "So now we start having sex every other day, right?" I feel like I needed to hand him an award or a ribbon or something.

blackrain - I had a similar procrastination today, avoiding working out. I finally made myself do it though. After all, according to my doctor, a healthy body = healthier chance of BFP. Although, I'd like to point out all the unhealthy people I know who had no problems getting pregnant (most by accident) makes me wonder how true that statement really is.

As for Vitex acne....now that you mention it, yeah I do have more acne problems. I have noticed the last couple months I've had a little more acne than normal, though I always have some (especially stressful times), especially on my chin and shoulders - both are odd places for me. Usually I have issues around my upper lip and hairline/temples. Plus, (TMI!) I sometimes get body acne on my butt area and it got worse after the first month of vitex. It's better now. But I'm still having some minor acne with chin. I didn't think about it really until you mentioned it

 

[Blackrain90]

To be honest, I wouldn't have made the connection, except when I was originally researching it, I remember someone saying theirs got worse but I figured it was a coincidence. Apparently not lol

 

[Blackrain90]

P.S. I am looking forward to seeing your pregnancy/ovulation tests ladies! I won't be doing O tests until end of CD10 so need my fix haha!

Good morning

OH and i were going to start BD yesterday, but i felt so sick last night that i ended up going to bed at like 8:30pm.. usually after AF I have no CM to speak of for at least a couple days, but i am actually already having wet/creamy CM, so I'm thinking I might O a bit earlier as well. Hoping it won't be too early though, because we won't be able to BD today as well. But, starting tomorrow i think we'll do two days in a row, miss a day, two days again, abd so forth until O is confirmed.
Can't wait to get back into the groove and if we manage to stick to the plan as much as possible i think we'll have a great chance of catching this month

 

[todmommy4568]

Test from this morning isn't looking good ladies. I am preparing for the possibility that this short lived pregnancy is over but still keeping a glimmer of hope.

 

[todmommy4568]

Okay my denial is now gone...shed some tears, told my parents and now I just want my period to show so that we can get on with September

 

[cupcake.]

No, todmommy.. i am so sorry to hear that!

 

[todmommy4568]

Thanks cupcake. The only hope I am holding on to is that the test line wasn't even in the right spot and didn't want to show up right away like all the dye passed over with absolutely nothing on the test and then the test line showed up like 30 seconds later so the whole thing was weird but that isn't much to hold on too in my opinion

 

[Blackrain90]

I am so sorry Todmommy!!

 

[cscbeth8421]

Todmommy! Nooooooo Have you checked cervical position?

Maybe we should start a new group.

 

[lvksa]

Hi ladies. I'm in the US now and happy to be back to see what's going on with you all.

 

[cscbeth8421]
