Resisting the title Wonky Cycles R Us....boarding the Maca Train to BFP Central!

[Catwoman83]

What are we like at all....NUTTERS!!!

I've got a cupboard full of supplements too, I almost rattle when I walk like.

Catwoman: Where you from?

AJ: Not sure I'd use them or buy them after I've run out of freebies, unless I get a + on them though.

I am from Detroit, Mi...I am wayyyyyy across the water....lol I reside in a little suburb called Southfield, Mi.

hee heee yep I'm afraid so. Bald as an egg!!

Well you have a fab chance never, just try go with the flow now (easy said i know!!)

For me I ovulated CD17 according to FF. We CD13, CD15 (which is the date I conceived according to scan) and CD16.....we fell out CD17 so I thought we'd blown it

 

[Catwoman83]

I have a question ladies, How do you start new threads? or is there a thread somewhere in reference to women that have successfully conceived and are able to sure symptons, etc...like things we can look out for as (TTC) and especially for first time mommies club I would like to know, although my body is so weird, I have read all sorts of stories I would love to hear about first signs, etc.....

 

[AJThomas]

Catwoman i dont know if there are any specific symptoms you can use to say 'this is definitely it' even like the frequent urination i'm having, that happens to me whenever the temperature drops a bit and we've been having a lot of rain so for all i know that could be it. There are some cycles where i have bouts of nausea, sore boobs, cramps and everything i'm having now so the only way i'll know for sure is when AF doesn't turn up and a test confirms it.

The bloating and gas doesn't usually last more than a day or two for me so the fact that it has been going on so long is pretty suspicious but it might be pretty normal for another lady. AF symptoms are pretty much the same as pregnancy symptoms.

Oh my god never that is soooo amazing!!! Your DH is wonderful I can imagine your face! You must have had the biggest smile ever!

Your timing sounds perfect too so don't worry about anything, just enjoy

Woohoo!!!!!!

Cat....if your wanting to know about early pregnancy signs there is a long long thread in the general ttc board called 'early pregnacy symptoms' and people have been contributing to it for years!

If you want to start a thread then just go to the board you wanna post in and at the top it has a 'new thread' button to click on! You could post a thread in the first tri section, asking for early symptoms maybe!

you girls rock! i love my maca ladies so much! i keep reading that ing more than once every two days is bad for conceiving. DH and i never see each other so when we do, we usually A LOT! we did 4 times yesterday, and that was from like 5:00pm-10:00pm LOL. i guess that makes the odd against us, but he goes like 4-5 months with no i can't say "nope, just once every two days so we can conceive."

 

[Catwoman83]

Thanks Linny And Aj I have alot of family members that had AF show up a few days and even a regular 5 days stretch later to find out a week or two after they were preggo. But AJ I really do feel your BFP is near.....I am quite intuitive also. And I have had those same symptons and I had a BFN....but yours I just really feel yours is near then far for sure!!! I am wishing you all BFP and Healthy babies!!!

 

[AJThomas]

Never i read somewhere (dont remember where now) but they said if your DH has low sperm count or something then every other day is best so the spermies can build up, but if his sperm count is fine then daily is ok, 24-36 hours but i know for you guys even that may be a stretch! Just make sure you get some morning BDing in since that is when the sperm count is highest.

 

[SBB]

Don't worry never unless dh has a low count it won't matter. Plus your first day is your best chance as it'll be one or two days before ov. The rest is just back ups

[nevertogether]

wow - thanks girls! all good info. DH doesn't have a low sperm count i believe. he has two children already, once conceived with only sleeping with the girl 3 times blush so i don't think sperm count is an issue for him morning is my favorite so i'm sure i can get him into that but the first time i will see him is probably monday night. eeek, fingers crossed ladies!

 

[AJThomas]

As SBB said Never, its the first one that will be the most important especially if you ov on CD 16 so dont even worry about the spermies, they'll do their job just fine.

 

[nevertogether]

aj how long is your lp usually?

 

[AJThomas]

^(i think i answered this on the previous page) but i'm not sure, my cycles are always 28-29 days but since i just started charting last cycle, i only know how long it was last cycle - 13 days.

 

[nevertogether]

my bad AJ, must have missed it hun! just seeing what we have to look forward to in your wait

 

[AJThomas]

Another shower, another check and still no sign of AF! I'm getting more optimistic by the hour cause usually even if she shows up on CD 29 i'd have spotting by now. I'm also seeing a lot more of the creamy CM today, keep going to check if AF is here cause it feels like she's coming.

 

[nevertogether]

this sounds so good and promising AJ! i have my fingers crossed for you. would love to be bump buddies with all you girls!! linny, sparkle, and sbb are waiting on us!

 

[redrose27]

Hey ladies I was wanting to know how much maca to take. I finally got mine today. I have been lurking everyday for about two weeks trying to read up on it. But I dont remember any amount to take.

 

[nevertogether]

hi redrose! welcome to this great group of ladies

recommended dosage is 1,500mg-3,000mg per day. i take 3,000mg per day myself but we all vary in how much we take.

also wanted to say to catwoman, i missed you in my blabbering about seeing DH. welcome!

 

[Linny]

Hey redrose!

I used to take 3/4 capsules a day (1500-2000mg) I think anything up to 3000mg is fine!
