[RedRose19]

1 mug down 1 to go! af is still here for me but its normal for me to have long af its down to spotting so hopefully gone totally by tomorrow so we can start bd. Gonna try the smep see if it works.
I hope everyone is having a nice monday. Off to my moms today with jamie bit of a walk but its exercise lol

 

[laurac1988]

Hope Af buggers off for you hun!

Freak temp rise for me today. It's got me interested. Last cycle I had a steady decline until my period showed up. This month we either have something going on in there, or my temps are just playing silly buggers

 

[Penguin20]

Good luck girls

Redrose - hope af buggers off soon

 

[Fern81]

Congrats Penguin!

Ooohhh Laura here's hoping you don't need clomid after all .

Thanks for the input ladies re my little dilemma this cycle. I really just needed some outside opinions. I believe that sometimes we get so stuck in our own problems that it becomes difficult to see the bigger picture. In any case, we've decided to continue ttc until I can manage to see the endometriosis specialist. I want him to prescribe a proper bcp or other treatment for this painful endo, so we're just going to keep trying until I can get some proper professional advice re the endo and ttc. (My gynae is useless.) Will be taking a low dose clomid this month and carry on with the tea - I hope to start drinking it daily now that I have a few more plants .

Hugs!

 

[RedRose19]

sounds good laura!! hopefully you wont need clomid! i wish id temp with jamie so i could compare, my temps never seem to make any sense. plus jamie wakes so much during the night these days since he went into a bed so my temps are usually inaccurate.
my af after clomid is usually so heavy not nice.
i just managed a second mug of mint tea, im trying to have less of my usual milky tea because i know the milk really does add up the calories.

 

[GingerPanda]

I missed a lot!

Welcome, new ladies! You've been added!

CONGRATS, PENGUIN!

Laura, I am excited about your temp rise! Fingers are crossed you won't need the Clomid!

Fern, sounds like a plan!


AFM, still sick. But the spearmint capsules are a lifesaver. I had started to break out really bad while I was of the spearmint, and now it's clearing up again.

 

[RedRose19]

Ginger how long were you drinking the tea before your bfp?

 

[kittiecat]

Anyone else find that spearmint tea makes you want to wee loads?

 

[ksquared726]

Yes, kittiecat! But I just figured it was because I was downing the cup pretty quickly. I've been having a grumbly tummy too, and diarrhea. I'm just imagining my body purging excess testosterone and toxins. Weird that I had more end-of-AF spotting this time, and even some pink that I never have at the end of AF. It's over now though. FX it also gets rid of my acne like it did for GingerPanda!

 

[RedRose19]

Af finally gone! But I feel still so bloated and have a horrible sore throat. Hoping this bloat doesnt affect my weigh in thursday! Thinking its because I had pasta for dinner

 

[Penguin20]

Good Luck on your weigh in RedRose

 

[GingerPanda]

Ginger how long were you drinking the tea before your bfp?

I started the tea at the very beginning of December. This cycle started on December 23rd. I had a testosterone draw at the beginning of January (after one month of tea), and my testosterone dropped from 56 to 35. Then I ovulated on the 10th. Got my BFP 10dpo.



Good luck at your weigh in, RedRose!

Ksquared, I hope your tummy issues sort out, and your acne goes away!

 

[rebeccalouise]

FX for ovulation this weekend, com'on! I'm hoping with the weight I've lost, and the tea I've been drinking - I'm in with a good shot of another normal month! x

 

[ksquared726]

I skipped the tea today after having another rough morning with my tummy. Feeling better. Does the tummy upset level out after a while? Maybe I should only drink it every other day, but then that might not help my testosterone and acne! What do you guys think? I did buy 400mg capsules from Amazon that will arrive tomorrow.

FX for O this weekend, rebeccalouise!

 

[Mrs. and Mrs.]

That's so interesting how some have tummy upset. It doesn't mess with my stomach at all.

Sorry that that's happening to you! I'd try the capsules.

 

[laurac1988]

Doesn't upset my tummy unless I drink a LOT of it. I hope it gets easier x

Temp swan dive today. Come onnnnnn period. Want to start my clomid

Have you tried a B6 supplement? I've started taking 25mg daily (also a b complex to balance it out) and it instantly lengthened my lp by 2 days. Was a bit lax about taking it last cycle and had a shorter lp again. So I do believe it helps! Anything to work towards a bfp hey

 

[RedRose19]

Ok so itscd 11 and I thought af had gone but that evening it came back and still here now what the hell!

I have, but when I took it all cycle it delayed ovulation by a LOT. I'm taking it during LP this cycle, so who knows if it will make a difference. I'm hoping clomid will help fix it, though
