October Testers Everywhere

[nnaime]

Nnaime, this might be redundant but what does the black cohosh do?!

I use the black cohosh to promote egg health and also it is supposed to help you ovulate earlier!

 

[nnaime]

So I guess I'm going to be another October tester?
Join me!?
Any cd, dpo , and testing addicts welcome!

I'm 12dpo and have been cramping for almost a week since I O'd. AF is suppose to show her face this thursday....(10/1) Really hope she doesn't show up. Today i'm super bloated, been sleeping a lot and my bbs are tender. I will test tomorrow morning to see if it's in the cards for me.....ugh, hate the anticipation and waiting to see what is going to happen.

Your symptoms sound promising! Good luck to you
Keep us up to date, I love success stories

Well, CD8 today. 8-9 days 'til O but we decided to start early. BDing every night until O is confirmed by temp rise... If that doesn't do it I don't know what will haha.

Thank you! Maybe if the soy doesn't end up doing the trick I will try it! Do you take it for the entire cycle or certain days like the soy?

How did testing go?!

Still got a ways to go before testing.
And you only take black cohosh up until ovulation!

Well, AF showed Saturday so I am now CD 3 and on my journey with fertility help. I went in today for blood work and will possibly have an US on CD 10. If no BFP this month, I'll be starting clomid next month! FXed for us all!!

I want to feel the baby move! Always hear so much about it and its something I want to experience what about you?

 

[abennion]

Welcome to the forum! CD13 and low OPKs for the past three days. Hoping for a peak in the next day or two. Then it's on to our 5th tww!

 

[nnaime]

Oh yes the movements! And the cuddles my husband will give my tummy. aawh imagining that makes me so happy. And I am looking forward to the big belly, just knowing that I am helping to create something so precious

 

[BostonLover89]

CD 11, hoping for positive OPKs sometime this week! Got my first flashy smiley face so hopefully my peak will be soon!

I don't know where to start, I'm looking forward to the entire experience...growing a little precious life inside my belly knowing the little angel is the best parts of me and my husband.

 

[Lawes1987]

11dpo for me. Ovulated CD17. AF is due tomorrow. Very wet down there today, clear/white CF. Mood swings like a bitch. First month off the pill though so may be that. We will see!

 

[BostonLover89]

Lawes- ooooooh that could be it, my first month of BC my hormones went nuts! No emotional swings but my skin freaked out and my hair was falling out in clumps! Could take some time for everything to balance out!

ahh that's what is happening to me now - massive acne and my hair is falling out! I have my Dr appt tomorrow for a blood draw. I haven't been on BC in like.... 7 years? but I had an ectopic pregnancy that ended in May. I didn't start having these symptoms til end of July. Hypothyroidism runs in my family so I'm wondering if that's it (can be brought on by a pregnancy). Either way, anxious for tomorrow and interesting to hear this happened to you too! my hormones aren't happy

My mother has hypothyroidism, and was struggling to conceive for 6 years. My doc told me that it didn't warrant blood tests since it was probably due to the BC. Needless to say I was furious but there wasn't a lot i could do because we need referrals for stuff like that in the military. New city and new doctor... I got immediately referred to infertility. Won't be able to have an appointment until next month because these referrals take for bloody ever!

interesting.... pretty much all of the women on my Mom's side have it. I hate all of the stigmas around discussing fertility with your doctor until you reach a certain part. We know our bodies and we know when something is up. Since my last pregnancy was life -threatening, my doctors are willing to talk to me about anything, which has been the only good thing to come out of it. I'm glad that you're now able to get in with a specialist. how long have you been trying? I hate all the red tape involved too so hopefully your appt is here before you know it...!

10 months so far, but this is my 8th cycle charting, temping, and using OPKs. At first I was positive it would happen without any extra effort. I was fairly stern with the military doc when she suggested we wait a few more months until seeking outside help. With my mom's fertility issues and the fact that my sister has gotten pregnant several times without even trying (she terminated the pregnancies, we aren't on great terms) I feel it is well overdue to see a specialist.

I hope so too. I know it wont be this month but hopefully by next month I will at least get bloods and maybe an ultrasound just to start off. DH is going in soon to get his swimmers checked too. OOOOOOH the things we do to have our little angel babies!

 

[ButternutBabe]

I think I'll be testing in five days! AF is due in 3, but my cycles are always a bit random so if I can get through five more days without her arrival.. Argh I can't let myself get too excited haha

The thing I'm most looking forward to about pregnancy is just looking like a goddess. Pregnant women always look absolutely stunning to me.
