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

im thinking about stopping charting for a while..cause when i think im oving i feel like i have to BD...you know, maybe if i didnt know it might just happen :shrug: i dunno
 
Still spotting from the loss after 10 days.. Wish itd stop just when I think its done I see more spots! Not sure how I feel about trying before my next real cycle. Id love to but still waiting on a negative test so I dont think anything will happen before that. I need to try to get back in the habit of temping though so I will have some idea of where I am and so I will get used to it again :)
 
TTC- Thats a good idea hun! Im with you on the not temping. I didn't temp right after my surgery and it drove me BONKERS not knowing where I was in my cycle. How are you feeling? Are you able to work out? I think you mentioned something about heading to the gym soon. :hugs:

Whit- Aww hunni I am sorry about the spotting. :hugs: I think what you have planned is a good idea. If you don't mind me asking.....how long before you can start again?

AFM- Nothing really to report here. My classes start in two weeks and I am not looking forward to going to college again...ughhh!! :haha: Started my clomid today and hoping that maybe this time it will work. It will be my fourth month on clomid and I know the dr's usually stop at 6 months. boo =(

At any rate.... :hi: how is everyone else doing? :hugs:
 
I must be really dumb because I can not figure out how to start a TTC Journal. Am I missing something? :shrug:
 
ok had my blood test...can i say OUCH!! it stung this time, dont remember it hurting last time. Am contemplating walking should i walk today or not? they say not to do any strenuous work after a blood test is walking counted as strenuous?
 
TNT - I took the soy cd2 - 6 but don't think i've o'vd yet and am on cd26 now. Knowing that my cycles appear every 3 months I may have a long wait ahead. I'm hoping if nothing happens naturally before my appointment that they will give me clomid.

Dandy - you should be fine going for a walk after a blood test. I've never thought about it when i've had blood taken and I have 4 dogs to walk every day lol!

Good morning to everyone, hope you all have a great day.
 
Hi all :hi:

tnt hope the clomid works for you :hugs:

Whit.....you should have a few weeks to decide if you haven't had neg test yet, in a way that's good. Hope you ok. :flower:

Dandy....sorry its a stress, I think we all need to go and have a massage or something to relax...it can get pretty stressful. :hugs: I can't imagine how frustrating it is for you. :flower:

Hello everyone else! :hi:

I wanted to ask you girls a question. I started Maca day 12 of cycle. I almost always Ov day 14/15, except in Feb when I was ill/rundown and my body put it off for 7 days. I am on day 18 now, my body just pretended to Ov, but I know it didn't happen as I am temping. Do you think it could be the Maca, putting of Ov until I can get a better quality Ov? Or maybe it's nothing to do with that, just bodyclock out because I am on long teacher hols right now.

I know I don't understand how stressful and difficult it is to have constantly long wierd cycles, and I really feel for you girls that do...:hugs:

But Maca wouldn't delay Ov would it? I read it wouldn't affect your system that soon?

All in all though, I do think the Maca is giving me more energy and lifting my mood. I am gonna stick with it, and if this is a long cycle, maybe it's for the best. :wacko::hugs:

Hope everyone is ok. :hugs::hugs::hugs::dust::dust::dust:
 
good morning ladies! :wave:

no one forget to wish our dear whitty happy birthday! :hugs:

TNT your new profile picture is adorable. i'm hoping this fourth shot at clomid works for you honey. have you thought about switching it up to soy a cycle maybe?

DANDY i would go mad not knowing where i am at in my cycle, especially with one as long as yours. i know you don't want to stress, but are you sure that you won't stress with not knowing? i know i would!

LUCY i can't really say whether or not it is the maca, considering everyone's body handles differently. for me, i started maca in april and from then on i ovulated CD17 or CD18 the entire time. i just quit maca for one cycle (and all of my other supplements) to give my body a TTC break and i actually ovulated on CD20 this cycle (latest ever) i don't know for sure whether that was the cause of not taking the maca or just my body being wacko for one cycle :shrug: i would stick it out, wait for ovulation, and try another cycle to see if ovulation goes back to normal or stays late again to give you more of an idea.

KELSTER where are you honey? i ovulated CD20 this cycle, crazy huh!

DELILAH did the :witch: get you? haven't seen you on in a few days.

LINNY how are you holding up? i bet you can't wait until your scan!

SPARKLE everything going good in sparkle land? i hope so!

WELSHIE haven't seen you in a few days. hoping that everything is going normal for you with this cycle and that you catch that eggy!

CELTIC anything new to report? hoping not too bad of symptoms at this point. :hugs:

YAZZY :hi:

JAM where are you my fellow europe girl! i miss you! i know you were taking a break from maca, but that doesn't mean you have to leave!

TTC i like your approach on everything and i certainly hope you can hold back from stressing too much your TTC cycle. hoping this surgery is all your body needed to give you that :bfp:!

anyone that i left out :wave: have a good day!

AFM just waiting for the :witch: she should be here tomorrow. i love that my LP is so darn predictable! my temps are showing she will be and i've been getting gas and cramps here and there so she's letting me know of her arrival. hoping my symptoms won't be to horrid since i quit my supplements this month, but i need a normal AF after last month's oddball one. upon her arrival i plan to start back on my maca, royal jelly, fish oil, pregnacare conception, and COQ-10. DH is pretty deadset on using the soft cups (he likes them :rofl:) and i think we might try pre-seed as well. we figure since our window is so small, we need to at least make some sort of an effort - but we certainly aren't stressing. i know my MIL would be stoked to know we are expecting :) it's kind of a hard time for me because it's both of DH's kids birthdays soon on the 27 of august and 7 of september (we like to joke that he's obviously fertile the same time every year :rofl:) so it's just a reminder that i have no kids :cry: i know i'm being selfish, but i can't help it! well enough about me, sorry to ramble on :)
 
Thanks Never, I once Ov - ed on day 21, so that may happen this time round.

And you are not being selfish, it is not surprising you feel that way! Really hope you get your BFP next cycle! :hugs::hugs: Its tough having no kids when everyone around you has, including OH (mine has 12 yr old), don't be hard on yourself. :hugs:
 
Hi Dandy and Never!

Ahh Never thats not being selfish, it must be hard if your OH has kids and you really want your own together....it will happen soon for you i'm sure.
 
Hey Never!! Yep...:witch: came like clockwork and although I was kinda disappointed, kinda relieved because now my cycles are normal. Since I am on clomid however- I don't know if my cycle will go bonkers again once im off of it. This cycle will be my 4th on clomid, but I'm thinking that if it isn't a successful one- we are taking a break all together. Not really from ttc- more like the assisted part. I haven't really suffered any horrible physical side effects, but the emotional ride is taking its toll on me. I feel like its so unfair to dh as well to have our lives just revolve around "THIS"- just temping, opks, timed :sex:, you know? I may just go back on monophasic bcp again to shut my ovaries down and give them a break, and then maybe start trying again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WHIT!:cake:

Hope you all have a lovely day!


where is everyone else?
 
lucy & yazzy - thank you dears for making me not feel selfish :hugs: it means a lot hearing it from others. DH doesn't understand some times how hard it is for me to accept that we can't get pregnant as easily. i'm his first marriage though so he's eager to have a "real family" so to speak and listens and tries his best to understand :) plus my step kids are dolls so that helps.

delilah - so sorry she showed, ugh! but glad that a normal cycle did finally arrive like you. i think a break for a month or two sounds quite nice, especially for your DH. i'm sure it would be nice to have some freedom and just :sex: whenever you feel the romance. who knows, that could do the trick!

ladies! need your help

Ladies! Need your help! :)

Just a bit confused on what to classify CD1 or not. I have a spot on 14 day LP so I knew I would start today or tomorrow. At around 2pm (maybe 3, not sure...) today I noticed I felt like AF was here. I had blood, enough to use a panty liner (but didn't have one at the time..ugh!), but not bright red..just dark. It looked dark brown mixed with CM. It stopped too. Now nothing is that considered spotting or CD1? And since it's at 2PM would today be CD1 or tomorrow? Kind of confused..
 
Hi ladies........

Sorry I haven't been around, it's really not very friendly of me, I know.

I've been keeping busy at home by fully refurnishing the whole place t keep me distracted from TTC.......VERY EXPENSIVE WAY OF DISTRACTION, but I feel more at ease now we've done it and had things fixed.

Decided to check CP/CM today and this is how it went (changes so qucik for me) creamy, stringy, watery (like I wet my pants) EWCM - it hasn't stopped....This is a whole heap for me too.
So, I stopped with the Maca for a while and also temping, I just found (for me personally) it was over taking me. I'm a serial nut case - hahahaha. I may start again with it next cycle though, I love how Horny I get from it... and there is no way I am blushing right now.

I return to work on Monday after 2 long years maternity with DD1. SHOCK to the system.

So, ladies HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALL?

I have to run and catch up on all these pages of lovely all night gossiping and jokes. I need to catch up and I promise I'll stay in here with you girls.xxxxxxxxx

I missed you too NEVER!!! hahah.
 
Hey Never hmmm I think if it hits the pants or pad I call it CD1 but then thats just me, see how the rest of the evening goes first.
Oh Im not to bad at all, MS is not to horrible it comes and goes, Im very tired though just wanted to sleep the afternoon away :haha:

not long now on till you are off to see your DH:happydance:

How is every one else doing, Ive been terrible for catching up the last few days :blush:

Ive also forgotten every thing I wanted to say GRRRR Im still sleepy I think !
 
Hey Girls!!!!

Never: I would count it as CD1. Sometimes mine will do that on the first day and then kick in heavy and then on the third day do the brown spotty thing again and then start back up again full force on the fourth. I'm so happy for you that you get to see your hubby soon...HOORAY!!!

Delia: I hope the clomid kicks out some eggies for you this next cycle. Prayers going out for you!!! Have you been working days or nights? Because I was told by my MD that working nights can really mess with your cycles and metabolism.

TNT: Cute new Pic!!! I'm excited for you starting school....don't worry you'll do great! I'm going back in November so we can complain to one another about homework...:haha:

Dandy:Have you heard anything about your bloodwork yet? I know the last time they seemed to have the timing off. Hope all looks great for you!

AFM: This morning I saw TWO PINK LINES!!!!!!!!!:bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp: OMG!!!! I had really written it off this month and had crampy feelings like PMS normally goes. I poas this morning just because it was under the sink and didn't even look at it. I had just tossed it on the floor. When I picked it up it had two dark lines. :happydance:
Love you girls!!! Thanks so much for all the support and ideas and suggestions!
 
omg congrats wispy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AFM 9pm as of now and nothing more than some brown blood mixed with CM. waiting to see what tomorrow brings before i decide which day is CD1.
 
Hey girls - OMG congrats Wispy!!! :happydance:

My B&B was playing up and I couldn't reply on the Maca thread! I'm sure there's LOADS to catch up on, I will try if I have time later...

But I hope everyone is ok :hugs:
