Hello all! I wish I had known about this thread months ago!!! I spent 4 days on the internet reading EVERYTHING I could find on this lol I just wanted to add my two bits. I took maca Root 2000mg(pill form) a day for one cycle and got My BFP after ttc for 11 months. Got my BFP Oct 7th. So I really believe it worked for me!

hi girls!

wow it has been one heck of a hectic weekend for me. DH's flight kept getting canceled so it was a weekend filled with goodbyes everyday. messed with my emotions! i don't think his being gone has quite settled in yet.

SBB - the nursery is beautiful! wow, you are one talented chick. you want to come decorate mine when i finally get my ? hehe

char - the bleeding is very odd. the first day it was bright red spotting. the second day it was bleeding as though i was on my period, but not bright red anymore, more like dark red. the third day was brown blood. four day NOTHING. and now again today it's back to red. very weird for me as i have not had a cycle this short since charting so not sure if it could mean anything.

dandy - i hope the soy does the trick for you this cycle! a new years would be FAB!

erin - good luck honey. hopefully the you got in on O day did the trick for you. FX'ed!

linny - i LOVE LOVE LOVE your profile picture!

sparkle - thank you dear. i very much enjoyed the extra nights with DH. how are those contractions going today? are you excited? i can't believe i've been around for all of your pregnancy! and linny's as well. sheesh!

TNT - i'm thinking O was yesterday you get a shot this month? i'm with yazzy on getting some rest! i'm ready for a sticky bean for you!

yazzy - how are you doing sweets?

:wave: mommy, so glad to hear that macca got you your bfp

Thank you!! I even had my clommid for the next month all set and ready. Didnt need it though

Heya girls

Never- So sorry OH is gone but glad you got a few days extra with him! I can't help but wonder its IB...im on pins and needles for you. 5 more days until testing for all of you!! Eeeck I can't wait to find out! I will be at my grannys during that time so I may have to log on and find out. Im thinking I might have Ovd yesterday too. I had cramps like crazy and LOADS of ewcm (which I normally dont). Just wondering when I can finally begin TTC again? Donor leaves march 6th (we think) and this shot might be the only one we have left...maybe a 2nd (FX). So im trying...im thinking my metformin might have gave me all this EWCM sense it regulates most cycles! Who knows I guess. Gosh I can't get over your symptoms....FX girl!!

Mommy- So glad about your story! That is awesome and gives us hope as well!

Dandy- I wanted a Christmas BFP as well. But now that I think about it...to have a BFP in the new year would be wonderful and a perfect way to start the year!! FX for you my dear! Get some softcups girl!

Char- Get some rest hun. Sounds like a super busy day! And a nice bath sounds lovely...enjoy hun!

TTC- Have fun playing with the nephew!! Chat later on!

AFM- Having a nice relaxing day with Amy. FINALLY getting some time together. Going to scrapbook today too.

 

[Leeze]

ladies and thanks mommy for sharing your success story!

SBB - I love your nursery pics, little jesus is gonna be one lucky fella!

TNT - great new avatar pic, very romantic and dreamy!

Dandy - I so know the feeling about wanting to be able to tell everyone you're pregnant and imagining it would have happened by now. I just spent the weekend with my parents and I feel like I'm keeping a big part of my life from them by not telling them we're TTC but I also had thought it would have happened by now and that we could tell them when we were happily passed the 12 week mark. Our time will come though, 2011 will hopefully be our year!!

Never, that sounds really difficult re your OH and not knowing when he was going to go. How long are you normally apart from him for, that must be tough on you both!

Never and Delilah - I will definitely be signing on from Spain (if we get there because of the horrible snow) to see if you got your BFPs and to give you an update on my test!! Wouldn't that be amazing!

Baby dust everyone x

Just for FYI,

I took the pill form. Because from what Ive read the powder form taste like ass LOL there is also a liquid , but I can't see it tasting any better then the powder. Its pretty cheap , I found it at a local store for $7 for 100 pills. I took 2000mg a day. they were 500mg pills .So I took two at breakfast and 2 and lunch. I read that if not taken with food it can give you tummy issues. Also for Fertility issues Ive read that you have to take at least 2000mg for it to work. Ive read some gals taking as much as 3000mg a day. But that seemed a bit much for me. I also got it from a local store,as you never really know what your getting when you order off line

I only took it for three weeks As I read to take it three weeks on and one week off. so your body doesn't get used to it. and I stopped taking it all together when I got my BFP as I found there wasn't enough research of taking Maca Root while pregnant

 

[SBB]

I just wrote a huge reply to everyone and I stupidly (my own fault) lost it

X x x

 

[xcharx]

Dandy - your one busy girl have fun tho hmm I want some freshly baked cookies talking of cooking lol

mommy - I took maca for 3 weeks and got my bfp glad it worked for you too.

Tnt - yay for O Wheres the donor going??

xx

leeze - we've actually been kind of lucky this year. we saw each other for three weeks in feb/march. after that - one week in july, 2 days (which was only about a few hours each day) in september...and then almost a month from the end of november to now. it's certainly not a lot, but it's better than nothing. our next time together will be february and he will be done with deployment in march. he will spend april back home with my step daughter and family and then be here may and june and after that it's up in the air. he might be deploying again.

TNT - were you able to ask your doc when you can try again? is your donor going to iraq or afhanistan? sigh. the war seems neverending. i have a good friend leaving for afghanistan in two weeks and so many more deployed right now

hoping for a

 

[nevertogether]

thought ya'll might like to see a few new ones...

 

[TntArs06]

Never- I just love the new pics! You two look soo in love!! I love it. Dr said we can do the IUI next cycle....well whenever af decides to come. Im hoping that my insulin levels are down more by that time. I might ask her to run some tests before we start. But we arent able to try this cycle due to my insulin being super high....which was prob the reason for the MC. And our donor is going to Afganistan. The worst place and he drives the units on routes to find bombs in stuff...so I will be a wreck when he's over there whether we get a BFP or not. We love him so much for even trying with no strings attached. I hope your hunny doesn't get deployed! Ughh I just wish the war would end already. I just can't believe how long it has taken...dang on politics! Bet you those politicians wouldn't fight for us!! Arrgggg dont get me on that subject!

Char- Our donor is deploying to Afganistan in begining of March unfortunately. He can't wait cause he loves to travel. But his job scares the crap outta me...like I know you shouldn't watch the news but I dont think I can stay away from it!

Well its worth a shot!! Wont know till ya ask. So that way if your sleeping and he's tired...he can do his thang and give you a cup and then everyone goes to bed...Sense there is a scheduling issue sometimes! I got my BFP that way...so it is possible!
