Sorry I meant to add how are u doing fxforababy?

 

[DSemcho]

Rofl. Did you take a test when you noticed your temp wasn't going down? I only ask because the first time I got pregnant was 2 weeks after having a period - and I hadn't been sexually active in 5 weeks at that point.

 

[Try2findbaby]

Hey d! Well af was a weird one, my lp was one of my longest at 11days. However my first two days of af were so heavy I had to wear pjs under trousers and changing towel every 30 mins. I had my suspicions that there may have been something there but all tests before af came back negative but af only lasted 3 days total. Now I have weirdly high temps. My test in the am to rule it out and if u don't hear back I have died from shock!

Tbh feel in shock ATM with o seemingly approaching! It's 10 days early! Bizarre. Anyway how's things? Where are u in ur cycle?

 

[DSemcho]

I'm pretty good! CD16, and I ovulate either yesterday, today or tomorrow. Got a positive OPK yesterday, then last night negative. Today positive again, and tonight negative. So I'm not sure if I should move over into DPO yet or not lol. Oh and I started Clomid this cycle and had a HSG test done (tube dye). Been a busy few days since the 9th lol! How're you?

 

[NDTaber9211]

Hey ladies, I had my temp dip and rise so I am hoping I O'ed. 2 more high temps and I'll know for sure!

I hope all of you are doing well.

 

[EmmyReece]

How's everyone doing?

I had ewcm yesterday and this morning for the first time in (well actually since I can remember), oh isn't in the mood to so there's no chance of a bfp this time around

Af has finally gone (to be fair she only visited for 4 days, usually it's more like a week!) and I o'd cd18 last month so I will prepare for that this month and keep fx! How's everyone else? Rockin where are u in ur cycle?

Hello! Since I dont temp or use OPKs, Im assuming Im around 12DPO, but Im CD27 with a cycle between 29 & 31 days. Im not sure if I feel any different this time, but Ill wait until Friday to test if I dont have AF....heres hoping!

Hey Rockin......the good thing is I don't have any tests so that helps. Here is a breakdown of the month: around the beginning of the month (don't remember the exact day) I wiped and had light pink but only happened once, on the 8th cramps, on the 11th cm, on the 15th more cm discharge, 16th cm discharge with cramps, nausea when I ate until two days ago, and right now I am feeling nothing except a slight headache. I am choosing to wait to test bc it is so disappointing to have symptoms and negative test and be late, test, negative and a few days later get AF. At least if I wait the doc will be able to run tests while I am at my appointment if I test negative. So I am going to take it easy and see what happens.

That sounds like a good plan, I was just at the doc this morning and had to stop myself from asking them to test! Im such a nut sometimes. Everything youre experiencing sounds promising though FX for you!

well she finally showed, I'm glad my mystery is solved! on to the next month! I hope you ladies are having some luck!

Im sorry showed, but at least she came and you dont have to worry anymore!

AFM- Im at that point where I just want to know soooo bad and its killing me not to test, but I dont have any test and AF isnt due until the earliest tomorrow, so just waiting. Im not sure if OH and I DTD consistently enough, but, Im not even sure Im Oving...soooo who knows lol. I really thought that not using OPKs and not temping would be less stressful, but Im not sure. I still want to wait a few months if we dont conceive before I start doing that. Oh well.
So I went for my blood tests this morning for diabestes and thyroid and should have my results in a week or so, that makes me feel better, now Im just hoping this was our month!

Sorry about not being able to DTD Emmy! I know how that feels, I think thats probably what happened with us this month Dont feel down

 

[ashntony]

Still no af.... She is now officially a week late.

 

[LlovesE06]

Good luck Rockin! I don't know if you've heard about soy isoflavones but from my understanding if you take it in the beginning of your cycle it can help with ovulation, worth a shot if you're uncertain about that

 

[EmmyReece]

Ooohhhh yeah I'd recommend researching soy isoflavones too, there's some threads about them on here

Well, we managed to dtd I'm still getting ewcm though, but oh is on night duty for the next 2 nights, but at least if I have ov'd then there's a chance, however small that chance may be

Well thank you for this information....sometimes I think Im in the dark about all of this just going with the flow. Clearly I need an education! Tell me about it, what is it exactly?!!?

Emmy what do you know about the soy isoflavones? Also, Im soooooo glad you and OH got to DTD!! Once is all it takes

AFM-nothing new here, not sure if my symptoms are in my head but AF is due tomorrow! FX she doesn't show!

 

[EmmyReece]

I know that you only take them a few days of the cycle (something like cd2 - cd6 I think) and they call it nature's clomid I think.

yep that's exactly what I've heard! I was surprised when I googled it how much stuff comes up about it, it basically helps your ovulation so it can be stronger and more pronounced. I've seen ladies talk about it even helping you ovulate a bit sooner. since its similar to clomid it can also increase the amount of eggs you produce!

 

[EmmyReece]

I'm actually contemplating trying it next cycle (if we don't get lucky this time around) to see how I go on it Will need more epo by then too

 

[LlovesE06]

lmao! I'm actually giving it a try this cycle, I took the first dose last night *fingers crossed*

 

[EmmyReece]

fingers crossed for you xx

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Hey ladies, thanks for the info.....but I did read a lot of stuff that says if youre cycle is fairly regular you shouldnt take it as it can mess it up! I dont know....lol, I saw a lot of success stories and a lot of women that were like....'these messed me up so bad!' and theyre particularly bad if you have a thyroid condition (which Ill find out if I do when my blood tests come back) I think Ill stick to what im doing now and hope for the best, but thank you so much for the suggestions!!!

 

[PDubs10612]

I picked up some SI and EPO but have decided not to try anything until after I talk to my fertility specialist at the end of March and see what he recommends, plus I don't want any meds (natural or not) to give false test results when trying to diagnose what is going on.

 

[DSemcho]

Clomid definitely makes you ovulate sooner. I usually get a positive OPK on CD17 or 18. This cycle, first with Clomid, I got positives on 15 and 16!!
