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

Forums New posts
I really liked the ovacue most cycles I used it. I was able to collaborate all my fertility signs and confirm Ov beyond a doubt at least one cycle using opks, temping, and the ovacue. The cycle I got pregnant I had a stimulation shot for my hormones in order to do a certain blood test so I think that could have thrown it off, because the opks didnt match what the ovacue said. Anxious to see how it works the second try! Hope it works for you.
 
SBB - I am not sure about the clomid I go back and forth. My only fear with the clomid is that if there are any microscopic fibroids that the dr couldnt see then the clomid might make them grow then we are back to square one. Then again, I really want the added boost ya know. What do you think?

Kel - so jealous, tomato sandwiches are my fav!!! ESP when the tomatoes are form Jersey...You guys have awesome tomatoes and corn!

TNT - WOW that is great news that your af isnt that bad. Mine isnt either which I am totally "chuffed" about (thats for all my girls in the UK).....
 
Kel- He went ahead and prescribed me a prenat with DHA so I can have more vitamins in it. He didn't mind the maca but I think he didn't know much about the EPO and Vit E for endo and ttc. The other vits i was on was probably a bit much....i just really wanted to cover ALL my bases ya know. My friend says I read too much into my endo and ttc. See she got preggos like the first time and doesn't have any illnesses as far as infertility goes so I think she doesn't understand what its like. And I am with you girl on the NO MAYO....YUUUCCCKKYYY I can't stand that mess. :haha::wacko:

TTC- Yea mine hasn't been that bad. I had to take some IBU but usually im taking codene or oxycotin with an IBU. So its weird and nice at the same time. You'd think straight outta surgery it would be heavy and crazy but its not.:happydance: So I think thats why im ok with AF being here and BFN. Im glad your doing FABOOO! :happydance:

I really want to get this. Once I catch up on bills (after vacay) I am going to look into it. I would really have liked to have it now sense I have a new cycle but thats ok. So your stimulation shot is what messed things up? Are you doing it again this cycle?
 
I'm not sure if that's what messed it up but it's the only thing I did different, and as long as you take the readings before you eat or drink nothing should interfere with it. I'm going to start using it as soon as I get my next af.. you have to start using it by cd2 or 3 so I don't really have a cd to go on right now. But I cant wait to use it again! It was an extreme relief to have that to coordinate my other stuff with, as my temps were sometimes erratic and it'd look like I'd have more than one possible ov day, as well as not trusting the strips since ov can happen 24-72 hours later!

Aww hunni well hopefully things will be right this next cycle for you!:hugs: I have erratic temps like you and I think I O differently from what FF says I do. But like you said the strips dont really help either. Im always like "is this positive for O?" LOL :haha: Then I compare all of them and then I have strips all over my bathroom counter! :haha::winkwink:
 
ROFL! yeah the strips drive me bonkers, which is why I bought the darn thing. I get so confused with my chart. It looks like I O three days in a row for crying out loud! Which would be nice, more chances for us.. but I think it's highly unlikely! :haha:

Oh I know what you mean :rofl: Im always asking my friend and OH whether they think its positive and then we are all confused! :haha::haha: Im going to have to break down and get one. I like how it tests the saliva. I wonder how that works though...kinda crazy
 
I think it has to do with the electrolytes. Here is our group! And the info was dug up somewhere in the thread, it'd take hours to find though so I will go dig it up if I can.

Here's a little something. Which brings up a good point of one big reason I chose it over the CBFM. Because it gives you upto a whole week before Ov instead of 24 hours notice.

Here's how it works: Throughout your monthly cycle, your body retains or discards varying amounts of minerals, such as sodium and potassium (electrolytes). The OvaCue tracks the changes in these electrolyte levels in your saliva over time and processes this information to precisely define your time of peak fertility.

About a week before ovulation, a high point in the salivary readings of electrolytes is reached, corresponding with the release of the dominant follicle (ovum). The measurement of this phenomenon is what allows the OvaCue to provide an accurate prediction of ovulation several days in advance.

As you get closer to ovulation, your body begins to produce estrogen, causing a definite change in the electrolytes in the reproductive tract. Estrogen secretion increases and the electrolyte content of the vaginal mucus changes, causing the OvaCue readings to drop. About 12-24 hours before ovulation your body switches to progesterone dominance, causing a sharp increase in vaginal readings, which confirms ovulation and marks the closing of your fertile window.

*^ That last part is talking about the vaginal sensor, which confirms ov beyond a doubt. I dont have one though, theyre an extra 100 bucks!
 
Good morning everyone :hugs::hugs:

Just a quick check in as I'm off to buy kizi's new school uniform for secondary school in September.

LINNY i don't have a bump yet :cry: I'm a big girl so i don't expect to get one until about 9 months :rofl:
We decided to get the downs test done as DH's auntie has down's and it's something that really frightens my DH. Although he does tell some great stories about how he used to be with her. :dohh:

I think i felt Eric move last night :happydance::happydance::happydance:

Right i better get off here i have loads of :laundry::dishes::shower::hangwashing: before the shopping trip. See all you lovely ladies later :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Hi, well I must just say.....

Mustard - BLECK!!!! :wacko:

MAYO - :happydance:

TTCBABY, well done for using said UK word....BTW, Us brits used to say 'I will knock you up in the morning' meaning I will call for you tomorrow, of course my US cousins found this most hilarious. :winkwink:

Whit, that is so interesting. I didn't think Prog kicked in until after Ov....I know nothing! I also am having wierd Pre Ov temps since MC. I am getting a big dip around 5 days before Ov, which goes up a little and then dips again at Ov? Is this the Estrogen surge B4 Ov? This month is even wierder, as I am in a 3 day dip at the moment, and only cycle day 12? I am thinking of buying this Ov thing, as it is very confusing. Still temps haven't gone back up so Ov hasn't happened YET, I am just scared I will miss it, and miss trying at the right time. :wacko:

It's funny this time difference thing, us UK girls are up and about now...hi Sparkle....:hi: Enjoy the housework.....:flower:

I am off to gym it now.....:bodyb::headspin:
:hugs::dust:
 
Yea sounds like maybe progesterone also helps trigger Ov. About the temp thing.. I always had that in all of my charts. I had a dip that looked like Ov on either cd8 or 10.
 
Thanks Whit. I didn't use to get that until after last MC.

How are you today? :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Morning ladies!!!!

ummmmmmmmmm if you can believe I am at a loss for words... LOL

Whit thanks so much for all the info on the Ovacue :hugs: also glad to see you a lil more upbeat :hugs:

Spark- Eric- did i miss something how do you know you are having a boy??? :rofl:

Lucy- sorry hun but mayo is the MOST DIGUSTING thing ever created on earth- your chart you have nice steady pre-o temps, watch it wil shoot right up and boom there ya go

TnT- ahh you are a mayo hater too,,,, I am gonna start a club- TTC MAYO HATIN' CLUB.. :rofl:

Morning to all the other ladies who haven't checked in yet :hi:
 
I am better, and then some days like today I just seem to go really down again and find myself in tears driving back from gym. :cry: I think it's because Ov is near, and part of me is afraid to get preg again, because then there is something to lose again.....but I can't not try. :wacko:

Well done for leaving the house, it's hard....but as time passes it is easier....:flower: How was it? What did you do?

Do you think it is over? :hugs: It takes a good couple of weeks to get back to PMA, and even then it is a constant battle. :shrug: I remember I had to phone the hospital from work to find out my hcg levels from 3 days before. When the nurse said I would now get a negative test as the levels were 15, 3 days ago, then I had to go back into class and pretend everything was fine...it was HARD. :nope:

We will be ok though, just have to be really determined.....and strong....it will happen for us and everyone else on here and I really believe that. :hugs:
:dust:

Sorry if I have gone on, I am trying to be positive for you, sometimes it all comes back. :kiss::hugs:
 
Where is your link to your chart Kell?:wacko:

Sorry am an idiot, just saw it....I see what you mean, surely she will be there today? xxxx Wierdness
