ACV can be used to treat ulcers. It neutralizes stomach acid because it has an alkalizing effect on the body &#55357;&#56833;

Thats what i read too, also i read ACV is used to cure ulcer so i tried it and got super sick, not sure why.

Hey golden, sorry Af got you I also have mild pcos and am taking metformin. Am only on 1000mg right now as am worried about the side effects of 1500mg! I have been taking it since December. No BFP yet, but that may change if I increase my dose.

Try and keep your chin up. TTC is a long , hard journey at times and we're all in it together

 

[pompeyvix]

Temps did a nose dive today! So just waiting for AF

I hope this is not the case
How frustrating after the great and sustained temp rise before. But you're not out until AF arrives

 

[pompeyvix]

Aww I love your belly Powell! Thanks for the update &#65533;&#65533;

Thanx!!
PS- your chart is beautiful

i know right! if her chart doesnt result in bfp, im gonna be angry angry at TTC even tho TTC doesnt give too s**tz about us hahahaha

Maybe u should test kitty

Thanks Golden and Powell! If I change my settings to advanced, FF has me at 6dpo. I know I got my peak on cd15 but I got it first thing in the morning and I had a temp rise that day. I was reading that up to 50% of women actually O before their positive opk. Basically the time it takes to get through your system and concentrate in your urine to get strong enough for a peak you could have already ovulated. This is especially true for women in their 30s and 40s.

Typically I use ic and the day I get my first positive FF gives me CH. This cycle I only used cbd. And cbd advanced. I'm thinking it's quite possible my surge started late cd14 and I actually o shortly after and got my peak next morning. But I could be completely wrong. Either way I'm happy with my chart but I know some of the prettiest charts go ugly real quick. Sorry for the novel

Golden....I think yellowish cm is a good sign! Any change in cm I would pay attention too. Do you normally have sore boobs in 2ww?? Or cramps early?

I still think you're in the running

Your chart does look very good I really really hope this is for you! Not long to testing now!

You've inspired me to chart as well. I have the FF app and my BBT arrived today! I am CD11, so going to start temping from next cycle. However, I tested the BBT this evening and took 3 readings in a row one after the other. The readings varied massively - is that normal? It makes me wonder how reliable temping is....

I have started using OPKs now I'm on day 11. This evenings was stark white, absolutely no hint of ovulation whatsoever.

Thanks Pompey! I tested yesterday because I had a frer left from my opk pack def too early but I will test again tomorrow if no AF.

You can actually start temping now if you want! You don't need to start at the beginning of the cycle. You will get a better "whole picture" with the entire cycle but right now you can take your pre O temps and then you should notice the temp shift to confirm ovulation. I know a lot of women that only temp a few days before and a a few days after just to confirm O.
As far as the temp ranges... Not sure as I've never tried that during the day but if you are getting crazy differences than maybe something is up with your bbt. But if they aren't extreme I think it's normal. The thing about temping is to be as consistant as possible. Usually even if I wake up at a different time, my temps are still either under or over the cover line. Occasionally I get a crazy one if I tossed and turned, the weather was super cold, or abnormally warm, etc. Regardless, I've always been able to confirm OvuLtion with temps. Just remember....big picture

This is a good time to start with opks too! What brand did you get? Everyone. Has their own preference. I personally hate answer brand and love my Walgreen cheapies (not as cheap as ic) and I like the cbd.

It will take you a couple cycles to see your perpsonal pattern...every one is different. Feel free to take pics and post if you aren't sure! There is an opk section just for that on this site &#65533;&#65533;

Yes you can definitely start temping now! My last temping cycle I started CD10 and ovulated CD18 so was still able to see my temp shift!
Just make sure to be consistent. Don't talk or get up before temping, same time every morning after a few hours of sleep, etc.

Thanks for the advice girls. I will start temping then! It's going to have to be at 6.20am every morning as that is the time I set my alarm for the 3 days I work. So I guess, I am going to have to set my alarm at temp at that time on the 4 other days? What a pain!

CD12 for me and OPK still bright white.

I've heard metformin really does help and there are loads of ladies on this site who have success stories.

It has definitely helped me maintain my weight. I lost 2 stone last year on weightwatchers but I haven't been following it very strictly now for a while. I eat well during the week but rubbish on the weekends. I am absolutely 100% convinced that if I wasn't on metformin, I would have put on weight, yet, I am simply maintaining even though I am eating more than I should. If I manage to get my arse in gear and start following ww again, I think it will help me lose weight quicker.

Before we got married I was never more than 150 pounds then in 2 yrs i gained so much, maybe it was bkz of pcos who knows. I went to WW last year and followed it for 6 months perfectly and only managed to lose 6 pounds in total so i gave p.

Since i heard that i have pcos, for 5 weeeks i hav been doing low carb diet, i cut refined sugar, carb and dairy, i lost 7 pounds. So hopefully metformin helps! I hate when i cant lose weight even i try so hard.

I started to think why life is not so fair for some of us. I think im emotional bkz of af.

Started spotting late this afternoon so I'm calling day 1 tomorrow. I got either 8 or 9 days this lp so that's good with me. I don't feel too bad after how our only relevant be ended up.
I have a good feeling about March. My fertile window is right during the new moon &#127761;&#10084;&#65039; And if we conceived our baby would be due right before Christmas. Perfect. So I'm putting all my energy into positive thinking.

Golden sorry you're feeling bad. I hope the meta works for you! And hey we are cycle buddies &#128521;

 

[fairyy]

Sorry that AF got you Kitty. I couldn't believe that soy didn't work for all of us this cycle. I was at least hoping one if not two BFP from the ladies of this thread.

Good luck pompeyvix.

I'm blaming me and OH and not the soy. Our only relevant bd we messed up. Only we could do that

Oh well. I'm giving it one more go and then taking a break from soy I think if it doesn't happen. But I have a really good feeling about March so fx!

 

[fairyy]

Xokittycatxo: Good luck. Hope third time is the charm for you. I will be stalking to see your BFP.

CD12 for me and OPK still bright white.

Yep! You can temp and go right back to sleep tho! If your thermometer keeps the last temp taken you don't even have to fully wake up lol

I tried drinking it and it was hurting my stomach a lot so i tried pill form which took couple days to hurt my stomach.

Kitty, sorry that af got u but hey we are cycle buddies now Plus ur LP getting better. Def try soy again but make sure to BD!

Btw i have good feeling about march too, 2 yrs ago i went to a fortune teller and she told me when im gonna marry and who im gonna marry, she even gave me DH's name so i cant keep myself from believing her hahahahha anyways she told me that she sees a boy coming before yr ends. So end of December last yr, i thought i would get bfp but i guess she meant giving birth, maybe? I know I shouldnt believe these things but cant help it hahahaha We shell see!

As far as this cycle goes, i wanna take break from everything and just take metformin and BD as we wish. I will check my fertile window with saliva microscope but usually its CD14-15 so dont think i will miss it. Plus its DH's bday 7days after my ovulation so im hoping i can give one of my imaginary lines
