Please, August, do not taunt- it's BFPs that we want!

[Disneybaby26]

Amanda-I cannot believe someone would do that!! Especially someone you know!! WTF?! Good for you for brushing it off and getting back in your routine, people like that deserve no attention!!

I think I'm going to test with SMU on Monday the 12th. I have the day off from work but told my boss I'd come in 6:30-10:30 to help out, I'll be home by 11 and test then so I can freak good/freak bad alone LOL! We have a wedding Saturday and I'd like to test before we go but I think 9dpo is to early and I'll get sad to see a BFN.

So, this month I'm changing things up a little. Drinking Fertilitea, drinking one fresh smoothie a day(using fertility superfoods), taking prenatal, evening primrose oil, maca root and baby aspirin. Also drinking 64oz water a day and getting DH to take a multivitamin and maca root as well. Also ordered the OPKs that I used before since I hated the wondfos. FX there's a baby soon cuz my ticker for months TTC kinda makes me depressed It didn't sound so bad saying we've been trying since the beginning of the year but after seeing 7 months, it's pretty frustrating.

I am sorry your so frustrated! Good luck with the opks!
My note to self if I ever start ttc it will not be on a birthday holiday or anything. I will just draw a day out of the hat. I keep thinking my birthday is getting closer and I am dreading it.

Ash, so sorry that you're frustrated. It freaks me out each time we get closer to a year. We will get our bfp's soon! What are you going to put in your smoothies? I want to try! We just got a magic bullet and I'm dying to use it.

I freaked, it made me SO mad. Luckily we found out, and put a stop to it, but jeez, a solid reminder that people are STUPID!

What kind of foods are you putting in your smoothie? I hear ya about feeling depressed when thinking about how long you've been trying. It's been off and on about 3 years now with me and DH.

I bought strawberries, blueberries, grapes, cantaloupe, peaches, mangoes, spinach, almond milk. There's a huge list of good smoothie ingredients on this 21 day fertility diet I found.(apples, apricots, blueberries, cantaloupe, grapefruit,grapes, citrus,papaya, pineapple, strawberries, watermelon, pears, dates, oatmeal, hemp seeds, quinoa, vanilla beans, yogurt(organic), spinach, kale, nut milks, fresh pressed juice, coconut water, water, herbal tea) I'm just sticking with the smoothie instead of the full diet though.

I am sorry your so frustrated! Good luck with the opks!

Thanks, I'm hoping I have a better time with them this time around, but I think it was mostly my hormones all being out of whack

Thanks, I know we're all in the same boat on this. But sometimes I still just feel like it's only me. Probably because I've had newborn photos popping up on my news feed all week. 3 babies born in one week! Torture I tell you!

I just listed some of the ingredients above. We got a Ninja for our wedding and I LOVE that thing lol. The smoothies are a perfect excuse to use it.

Also, sorry to hear about the crazy friend of OH screwing with you. I seriously don't understand people sometimes...

 

[Disneybaby26]

Ashlee- those sounds delish!! I just know you're going to have a better cycle this time around!! Fx'd for you!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

OMG- the Ninja is rediculous! We got one at my shower, I use it constantly! It has an attachment for the imdividual smoothie cup I want to get!

 

[NDTaber9211]

I usually make strawberry banana smoothies with either baby spinach or baby kale. Sometimes I throw some blueberries.

 

[RobertRedford]

Ashlee, Are you going to temp this cycle? I have to look into the fertility diet, looks neat.
We are trying to be super conscious about what we eat regardless, simply because we have both been working out a lot recently. I really think this cycle is going to be different for you. Last cycle was a bust for a lot of us, so things can only get better from here on out, right?

My boobs hurt so badly today, its really odd. Like, uncomfortable wearing a shirt sore! I put a call into my dr to see when I can have a hormone panel done.

I hope this cycle is better too.

Ours has the individual cups. We have two cups, DH makes like 3 milkshakes a day lol. It's so convenient, I love it!

Its weird, but my favorite thing to add to smoothies recently has been kale and avocados. The avocados make smoothies really smooth and creamy...sooo yummy.

 

[NDTaber9211]

I might try avocados! I have the ninja too with 2 single cup attachments. That thing is a beast!

Yea, I'm going to temp this cycle, but I'm going to try not to analyze it so much. It really stressed me out last month. But with the whacky hormones it would be nice to see if/when I ovulate. Going to try not to miss days this time though because not knowing the temps for the weekend I was in SF stressed me out and I think it probably affected FF's crosshairs.

[RobertRedford]

I just had to google what a ninja is! I want one!! We have a vitamix but it is a PAIN to clean.

I got avocados too lol.

 

[RobertRedford]

Even if it doesn't help get me pregnant, I like the sound of the fertility diet!

 

[NDTaber9211]

I am pretty much just trying to stick to an all natural diet. Oats, eggs, veggies, fruits, lean meats, green smoothies etc. It's definitely not easy. I love my greasy, fatty foods.

 

[morganwhite7]

Lol I am the WORST eater you probably know.. but I thought I'd chime in and say that I cannot wait to start my pregnancy diet again. I just ate GOOD stuff ya know? (HA wanna know my no. 1 craving- sour patch kids!!! lol?)

Oooh Idk why I'm saying this, so random, but I was thinking about preggo food and remembered some..

1.) Anyone ever tried Hawaiian Rolls? Lol hopefully yes, those dang things are SO good with prosciutto!!!

2.) Okay weird, but my mom used to make it for us don't judge- TRY!
Salami layered in a row. Wipe w/ cream cheese & ranch mix (like the kind you put in sour cream for veggie dip, super thick). then pop a few sweet pickles on top in a row. Roll your salami over, making a lil wrap and cut into pieces! Mmmm, for anyone who has a *savory tooth* like me

3.) I just plain LOVE ripe sliced mangoes..

4.) Bigelow- "Constant Comment" tea.. just heavenly.
