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

[Whitbit22]

Sounds like you've done a lot to increase your odds hun! Thats plenty of time, you will have your bfp soon!!

whit- what were you reading up on about green tea? I drink green tea just to help with my endometriosis....I didn't know it helped with TTC? or does it help?

 

[Whitbit22]

I've been reading it helps increase cm. The kind I buy also has spearmint in it which is supposed to help with fertility. Before my pregnancy, a woman on here swore to me green tea was what gave her the bfp. Here's some good info though.. more down to earth.

Edit* as one of the ladies mentioned its thought that it decreases the absorption of folic acid, so it's not good to take it within an hour or two of your prenatal vitamins.. but I suppose since Im in the 2ww now, I wont be drinking any more after today!

In the past, women having difficulty conceiving might have been advised to limit their caffeine intake. But recent studies suggesting that stimulating drinks, and specifically green tea, might boost fertility. In a study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California in Oakland, researchers found that women who drank more than one half cup of caffeinated green tea every day doubled their odds of conceiving. No significant association was found for other caffeinated beverages; therefore researchers concluded that a chemical component of tea other than caffeine might have been responsible for the increase in fertility.

I guess it just depends on where you get the info.

Oh wow! That is good info. When I make my green tea I usually use 3 tea bag (decaf) and 2 teabags (caff). And I usually drink that mostly all day and water and one or two cans of pop. Im going to look into this more. I guess anyting that naturally helps is good. Thank you so much

Trying to! How have you been?

I'm still all stuffy and have an earache. Of course now I can't take anything but tylenol and benadryl. I do have some eardrops that have sulfer in them and that should help. FX I have been sleeping a lot. I hope this passes soon. I guess it's better than morning sickness though for sure.

Why is that most women get really sick once their pregnant? I dont understand that. And then you can't take anything for it thats any good. I hope you get better soon and it passes quickly. My dad used to give me a clove of garlic to swallow and small shot of tequilla to help my colds....of course the shot wouldn't really be that great for you...but the garlic might...if you like it. Can you do erchinacia(sp)? maybe that will help

 

[Whitbit22]

Thanks!!

I normally drink like 2 or 3 cups of tea a day. Been looking for more herbal tea, but cant find any that doesnt have hibiscus in it!! It's used in some cultures for forced abortion and birthcontrol. Guess its one of those things most people dont know. Cant wait for my raspberry leaf tea to get here!

 

[TntArs06]

hmm I did not know that! Glad your tea will be here soon!

 

[Whitbit22]

K im gonna lay off the google and not pay any attention to anything any more! Now everything says "only in medicinal or large quantities." So Im going to stop being paranoid and go ahead and drink the stuff lol

 

[TntArs06]

LOL thats where I had to stop. It all seemed to blur together. So I had to stop too and OH said im going crazy with all this researching of stuff

 

[Lucy1973]

Hey tnt, so glad your pup is ok, and good luck for catching the egg.

Dandy sorry your pup was attacked how awful!

BTW, the speech and language therapist at my school said women get sick when preg as your body produces a lot more saliva, and that is what does it.....who knew? I guess it dries up a little and thats when you stop feeling sick.

Lindsey...good plan...keep trying, you never know!

Fertility friend changed my Ov day this morning, from day 23 to day 25, luckily we bd 2 days b4, but even that may not be enough...def getting CBFM next month!

Hope everyone is ok.

 

[dandybrush]

[ttcbaby117]

Kel - oh so nice to see you hun!

TNT - well I dont know if the raspberry tea helped but I have just found evidence online that girls with endo and fibroids shouldnt drink it so now I hope it wont hurt. Happy insemination hun!

Whit - the raspberry tea for me is a no no.......I have changed to green tea now.

Lucy - I am with you on the CBFM...It should arrive next week! We can try this out together!

Lindsay - have fun!

Wispy - I hope you feel better soon hun!

hi dandy, never, sbb, sparkle, and other my maca ladies!

 

[TntArs06]

ladies...I hope you are doing well!

Just stopping in real quick to say hi and hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I have a question....I did the insemination last night and slept with the softcup overnight. I woke up at around 9:00 and took it out. I didn't check CM then, thinking some swimmers still might be in there. Anyways I just checked my CM and it was a mixture of watery to creamy. Like the creamy was just little blobs I know TMI but im still learning about CM. FF says im highly fertile right now??? Is that true? Im only on CD18 and usually Ov round day 20-21. Maybe im just too confused or putting too much pressure on myself.....any advice would be just wonderful! Thank you ladies

 

[Whitbit22]

I'm not sure about the cm hun.. after sex mine is always out of whack. Several hours after taking the softcup out and it had all cleared out the other day I had my ewcm come back, though. It's sorta shiny is how I know its not 'his stuff'

Yes you'd be highly fertile if you are oving in a couple of days, since sperm can live longer in fertile fluids.

About the tea.. since Im in the 2ww I have switched to white tea! I had it for a while but decided to try it again and I love it.. it's Asian plum and all that is in it is white tea and blackberry leaves. Now blackberry leaves are something I have found NO iffy info on. Everything I found says it helps infertility/sterility and you can drink it during pregnancy. YAY for finding the PERFECT tea!!
