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

[Linny]

soph - that jus cracked me up! 'deposit ' lol!! What are we like!!

Yeh I always get spotting, sometimes it's in my LP, other times at OV and other times just random! It's usually a yucky brown colour. I do think it decreased when I took Maca, but also I had acupuncture from the same time so it could be that.

This cycle I started spotting at 6dpo, red then brown ever since. I still am, just a teeny tiny bit sometimes when I wipe. At the moment I guess it doesn't seem like a problem, but if this pregnancy isn't successful then it could be that the spotting showed some kind of deficiency... won't know that for a while!

I've had spotting for years, at least 10 years... Even when I was on BCP it happened..

Sorry not sure that's all particularly helpful!

welcome sparkle - I am have been on maca for about a week, and I love having these maca girls to bounce things off of.

SBB- yeah i agree about the temping, I am not even prego and I stress over it......and it looks like I didnt o yesterday....my temp is still down, but I do think it will be happening very soon....woohoo.

Linny - have you dont a prego test yet? Is this spotting you are having normal for you?

Soph - I can so relate to you...hahaha...ive gotten up and cleaned my bathroom in order to keep myself awake long enough to dtd with my hubby!!!!

Thanks SBB - that is helpful. I was starting to worry my spotting was preventing me getting pregnant, now i feel better knowing its possible for some people so it might be for me!

Saying that, i didn't have any spotting on BCP till about two years ago. I went for a full STD check thinking it might bring something up. Although everything was clear they did say i had an eroding cervix. She said it wouldn't affect me conceiving but now i'm wondering if thats why I spot. It stopped straight after coming off BCP but started up again about 6 mths ago and seems to be getting progressivley worse and for longer periods!!

It starts 5/6 days after ovulation and carries on till AF - sounds like the same kind you get. I'll keep on with the maca and hope for the best I guess, thanks

Linny - have you dont a prego test yet? Is this spotting you are having normal for you?

No haven't tested, I'm 8/9dpo and got the spotting so its not looking likely. Might test tomorrow though I'm pretty good and not really a POAS

Yep spotting is normal for me over the last 6mths or so. Seems to be getting worse so my feeling is something is a miss. Possibly low progesterone as i have a short LP too. Hoping to get referred nxt month if nothing changes cos it'l be almost 12mths ttc

I hope you ovulate soon hun xx

yeah I would def. go and get it checked. It might be something very easy to fix. My same girlfriend whom I always refer to right now b/c she is 7 months prego, used to have spotting before af.....the dr said she had an abrasion on her cervix and he gave her cream and she was prego 2 months later and didnt have anymore spotting.

sbb - I posted my chart in my siggy for you...though it isnt much to look at right now.

 

[SBB]

Haha ttc that's rubbish and I expect to see better next time

I'll keep stalking

Hi ladies! I read an article about this on discovery.com. Where do you get your Maca and in what form? How much does it cost?

I'd like to try it, I am wondering if it really helps libido? Mine is very low for the last couple of years. I enjoy once we're doing it but I can't get worked up like I used to. Has it helped any of you?

I got my Maca powder from the natural health food/vitamin shop. It's pure Maca powder. I know most of the women here use the capsules though. I paid $20 cdn for the bottle. Its pretty$. BUT I noticed increased energy when taking it, and a BIT of increased libido.

Oooh sound promising. Hope its something easy to fix, thanks xx

[SBB]

[ttcbaby117]

Ok I must be weird, I find them to smell kinda earthy (good to me), which makes me feel like I am doing something good....hahahaha

 

[mamaxm]

nevertogether wait till you burp 'em up. i had that problem only for one day last cycle and it was terrible. they work wonders though, my temps have been great this cycle, way lower pre o temps and my post o temps are looking like they're going to be good too
so i'm in the 2ww! bbs are already sore, probably just post o, hope they go away for a few days and come back!

 

[mamaxm]
