[Turtle0630]

I've got you all added! to everyone, I sure hope we ALL get bfp's this month!

Welcome to all of the new ladies!

Well I picked up my Vitex yesterday, but I haven't started taking it yet since one of the things it does is to increase milk production. Since I just weaned (now at 76 hours since the last breastfeeding) I don't want anything to trick my body into making more milk. So I think I will start in a few days. Still thinking about getting the progesterone cream. Found one on amazon with good reviews and it contains wild yam which is also good for fertility. I will think about it for a few days and then probably order.

I don't think I will have any success this month since hubby is traveling next week and that is likely my fertile time, so this month might be spent trying to lengthen my lp. But if he is around for any of my fertile window we will have to give it the "ol college try". Just have to wait and see.

Also, found a very pleasant side effect to weaning. I suddenly have a sex drive again. It has been nearly 2 years since I actually craved sex. So happy. Now I just need my hubby free so I can pounce!

Hi, would you ladies mind if I join? I've decided to start TTC number 2 next cycle, and last time I was on one of these threads. It was so supportive! I will be testing on the 29th. Still waiting for the end of this cycle, I swear my cycles completely changed after having ds!

 

[Turtle0630]

Hi DaTucker, and welcome! Happy to have you along. I'll get you added to the front page, and good luck!

 

[DaTucker]

Thank you!! Same to you!

Jus i always get a day when my opk is just as dark as the control line and then next day its way darker..i get extreme ov pain so i know exactly when it happens and its always on the day on the darker one. Good luck! Ow and my temps dont go up for a good 2-3 days after!doesnt mean anything!

Zubzub no you re not crazy to try again..after ds i had 2 mcs in 5 months n the doc suggested we wait for 6 month...i conceived my daughter 25 days after my d&c!

Bing i totally get you girl! When i went in for the 4d us i just kept wishing for the doc to find a big huge septum and for my nk cells to be super high! Weird huh?? I think i ll give red raspberry a try too next month if we get a bfn this cycle. Also look into red clover i think it helped me with my last bfp.

Hello to everyone else, hope you re having a great day!!

Stupid question but i just have to..for thise ho have had bfps before..did you have any symptoms at 3 dpo? I remember feeling like i couldnt digest my food at 5dpo last time but dont remember before that..i have no symptoms whatsoever so far

 

[DaTucker]

I tried for 3 1/2 years before I got pregnant with ds, and I swore up down nearly every month I felt symptoms immediately lol. Stopped TTC for 2 months and got pregnant. I didn't have a signal symptom, only realized I was pregnant be of my late period. Idk if it's possible or not to have them at 3dpo, but I do know our minds are funny things!

Although usually implantation doesn't normally happen until much later than 3dpo.

 

[Turtle0630]

Zub, I agree with Christiana in that I don't think you're crazy. I'm sorry that things have been rough for you in the ttc department, but I certainly don't think you're crazy!

Christina - I had super early symptoms with my daughter... I can't remember exactly when they started as she's 5 now, but I know I tested very early with her (I think I was only one week along when I got my bfp) I was falling asleep at work (office job with super comfy chairs!) and gagging anytime I went to Subway, which used to be my fave!

Does anyone have any suggestions on natural fertility enhancers? I have heard baby aspirin? My doctor has offered me fertility drugs after having a miscarriage last cycle, so if this isn't my cycle I think we will do it. He didn't mention the drug name, but said it was a needle for me and then sperm washing... I just had assumed it would be a pill.

Welcome to all the new girls! :wave: Praying for lots of bfps!

I hope October comes quick. I have a RE appt on the 15th and praying she has some good news with SOMETHING to move us forward. I'll even go on the clomid again IF the cycle is monitored with trigger shot or u/s.
Till then it'll be SMEP and prayers.

Have you done any research on Vitex? It's had some great reviews and it's all natural.
Your procedure sounds like either IUI ore IVF.
Have you asked about that? Is there a hormone trigger shot that have to take with it? Do you know if your0 insurance covers it?
Sorry for the questions, just curious

 

[sheylee]

Thanks MnG - I'll look into the Vitex

My doctor didn't tell me too much about the procedure, he doesn't do it and will just refer me to a specialist. Just briefly said that I would have a shot and then the sperm wash. He did say it wasn't covered by OHIP, I think it's about $300

Hi Sheylee, it sounds like what your Dr is suggesting is what I am doing this month. I am doing daily injections of Bravelle with a trigger shot at the end. This is an IVF med, which will be combined with IUI and sperm washing. I have tried vitamins and the holistic approach without any luck yet. So I am hopeful this month will give us the jump start we need.

Good luck with your decisions. It's a lot to think about. Please let me know if you have any questions. I am here if you need anything.

Hi Ladies! It's almost hump day...which means half way through the week. Whohoo!

Turtle~I will know what day I test at the end of this week and will let you know. Thanks for managing the board and everyone's test dates. I enjoy looking at the front page to see who tagged an egg. It's a little like Christmas morning!

Welcome to the new girls! So happy to have you and get to know you better.

Nicole~So cool you are learning Japanese. My husband is trilingual and he always said that immersion is the best way to learn. Good Luck!

Bing~Glad you are feeling more optimistic this cycle. I hope you get your answers soon.

Bug~Hope you are feeling better! Rest up.

Chistiana~Welcome! My heart goes out to you and your angels. I hope this is your month.

Eclaire~Congrats on getting your groove back! Enjoy pouncing your man. LOL! :O)

Hi, do you ladies mind if I join in? We have been TTC #3 for almost 5 years now. We have had 3 mc's and with the last mc we finally found out what has been causing the mc's. Well at my doctors visit at the end of Aug. she suggested Clomid since we have been trying for a year since our last mc. And to say the least Clomid doesn't like me at all but if it works it will be well worth it all of the horrible side affects. I am due for AF October 3rd, 2 days before my birthday, so here's to hoping I get the best birthday present anyone could ask for! I plan to start testing on the 1st if I can hold out that long. Fx'd for everyone's BFP this month!

 

[chistiana]

Sheylee i ve been pg 5 times and 3/5 i didnt have any symptoms but i still get sad n anxious when i dont feel them during the tww!
I took baby aspirin until w12 with my dd. i also used fur but you ll need to do your research on that!

Datucker i know, i keep saying to myself its not possible to have symptoms this early on but i still want them!!!

Yoga girl get busy girl!!! Thanks, i think of my angels every single day, they re up there looking out for their brother n sister

Mommasboys2 we re also ttc #3! Can i ask which MTHFR mutation you have? I have the A type but my doc didnt even look into it even after my 3rd mc so i m still a little suspicious of it.

Hope everyones doing good girls, smile cause this might be the month we get out THB

 

[chistiana]

Sorry for the typoes stupid small phone!

 

[Turtle0630]

Good morning, ladies! How is everyone doing today? It's a rainy and dreary morning here today, it makes me just want to be at home snuggled in bed!

Yoga, thank you for that sweet message! I am happy to manage the threads and update the front with new testers and (especially!) bfp's! That kind of organization is right up my alley.

Mommas, welcome! Glad to have you along. I'll get you added to the front page, and good luck!!! I hope that October is your month, and that you get that awesome birthday bfp!
