[beemeck]

[supergongjoo]

Hi girls, had spotting when I got home from work this afternoon. Felt very crampy, so I took a nap and woke up this evening to find AF had come. Severe cramping now.

I'm hoping that this upcoming cycle will be it for us as it could be the last one without my husband traveling for a while. I am planning to try and be more consistent with BD and I am also going to try and gain a little weight, perhaps with a protein supplement. My BMI is a little low, it has been for a few years since I began having digestive issues. I don't really know if my weight is a TTC problem, but I read it can have a pretty huge impact on the amount of time it takes to conceive.

Here's to a new cycle and a new chance.

HI everyone, back after a long tiring weekend. Sorry ivksa about the AF but yes new cycle, new hope

I'm drinking RRL tea as well.

mkaykes: I'm the same, after I started TTC, all of a sudden a bunch of my friends got pregnant. Some of them first try, some of them took an unknown amount of time, but probably quite a bit. The first try ones always like to broadcast it like they're proud of it. One of them had been NTNP since last year but still insisted it was her first actual try that she conceived. I'm like *roll eyes* I feel like we should be celebrating more if someone's been trying a while, not the other way around.

@ivska new cycle new hope i have read something about low bmi but i didnt really absorb the information as ive been eternally " trying to lose 5lbs" lol

@PC u basically hit the nail on the head.

Ive been sitting on an electric blanket the whole day today. im either gearing up to have the worst period of my entire life or something is brewing. praying to god its the latter cause i am not ready to have the worst period of my life...

Magic did you test yet? crossing fingers

Hey!

I'm 11dpo, very wet down there today, sticky white/clear CF and has a weird craving for bacon and fried eggs earlier! (which I indulged!) Haven't eaten that in years. My moods are up and down like a yoyo. I was happy and fine Monday, yesterday I was teary and irritable and horrible and today I'm happy and fine again. Weird! Anyone else experience this around 11dpo? AF is due tomorrow, ovulated CD17.

 

[supergongjoo]

@lawes i had the most INSANE pickle and cheese craving last cycle. It was an AF cycle though. I do think every body every cycle is different

I'm out this cycle, AF just showed her ugly head for literally the most painful cycle i have ever experienced

@magic praying for you!

 

[MagicDance]

I'm joining the AF club too the wicked witch arrived today. Cd 01! I'm crossing my everything for next cycle for all of us, and hope a little dust on the thread works

Thanks again for the support peeps no matter how small I appreciate it

I think I'm going to do the pineapple core thingy this time and have more healthy smoothies.
Continue with frequent b/d but try and be a bit more relaxed (Pahh yeah right - she says! )

Good luck all x

Right so, 12dpo, took a test with FMU this morning and got an odd result. The visible strip didn't have a line but underneath the max bit right before the visible bit of the strip started, there was a pink line after I used it. I peeled it back a tiny bit and saw it. I was in a rush to leave for work so I threw it in the bin and decided I'll do another tomorrow morning.

Also, AF is due today, no sign as yet, no crampy or bleeding at all and I had a good internal check.

My Ovia App thinks I've done a full cycle and told me it had be ovulating at CD19, when originally I thought it was CD17 as my fertility score was 10, the highest, that day and I'd had EWCM for a few days. So now I'm think... am I actually 12dpo or 10dpo?

HELP!

oh magic so sorry sweets

I'll spread some dust too....I'm getting impatient for all of us!

I think I might try Bding every other day instead of like rabbits this month only because I feel I have to do SOMETHING different and I dunno what else?

my Dr appt is today. Will get a hormone panel blood draw but prob won't have results until Monday. FX.....

so sorry for you too super I don't want to stand for this anymore - No, AF - No! Not this month...... grrrrrr

 

[psychochick]

sorry @supergongjoo and @magic about AF. Onto october cycle: hoping the witch stays away for halloween *queue spooky music*

@super: I've recently discovered that ibuprofen really helps if you are having a heavy day. I used to be against taking medicine if I can handle the cramps but now I just don't care, and one dose lasts half a day which is all that I need since I basically have half a day of heavy bleeding usually. I also use thermacare heating pads, does wonders. Anyways hope you can relieve your cramps

beemeck: looking forward to updates on your doctor's visit. I'm also thinking of doing every other day until +opk which is usually CD12 for me so I'm planning on doing BD morning CD12, evening CD13 (O day), then evening CD14 (O+1). I think that's pretty much SMEP except I do think DH can use a little more time than just 24 hours so i'll give 36 hours

Hello everyone.. New to BnB and the whole ttc process... DH and I have been married for 10 months now and we finally feel its time.. Yeay!

However I am clueless about my ovulation and pretty irregular... However I have been reading up and tried to play it out last month... AF is expected on the 10th but I am pretty irregular.. However I havent got any of the nasty symptoms yet..

I do have some different symptoms like I feel nauseous every morning and sometimes through out the day, mild cramps that I never got before and well I just dont know if it is a mind game.

I took a digi test yesterday around 6pm and showed a BFN... But I just am not convinced.. Its a 25mui so I don't know.. mixed feeling... DH birthday on Sunday so I was hoping to surprise him with a BFP but....

Good luck to everyone and I hope to make some buddies on this journey...

@magic sorry that witch showed. Perhaps we were destined for holiday babies! After a heavy set of frustration tears ive decided to add more folate to my diet. I'm going to keep going with the black cohosh and raspberry leaf teas. i was thinking of trying the core thing.

@lawes try testing again yet? Sometimes the ovia app is a little off. Ive been using it and its been off just a touch a few times.

@beemeck more dust the merrier! How did the hormone panel go? I feel the same. like im doing the same thing over and over and every time i fail. So i keep adding new herbs and teas and trying different combinations. its frustrating isnt it? Try, then fail. Try harder, fail better. lol i feel like when i get that little bean it will take me months just to believe its actually happening

@psychochick yea we are against taking things ( we use white willow tree bark usually) but this cycle was so painful i took some tylenol and sat on a heating pad for the past almost week lol.

@khan you should download ttc app to help you organize your cycles and symptoms. I use period tracker and ovia.

Wow I missed so many updates since I've been away! It's been a crazy busy week so I haven't gotten a chance to post much. Sorry to hear about AF arriving ladies. I've noticed myself becoming more discouraged and thinking negatively. So I've started telling myself that that there's a chance with every cycle! That gives me some hope.. So hopefully that can help someone else too Here's to a new cycle and another chance!
And welcome Kahn!!

 

[MKaykes]

EarthlyLove - so very true, every month a new chance!

I've always believed everything happens for a reason, so I keep telling myself that now just must not be right for us and when it happens, or at some point if we decide to adopt, our daily will be just perfect and just how we were meant to be.

Good luck staying positive ladies. I'm going to try to not try so hard this month if that's possible 😜

Welcome
Me too..I have been married (and ttc) for 10 months! Congrats on your new ttc adventure.

So you have been getting to know your body and doing some research? It might be worth looking into something's to help with the irregularity of your cycles? Angus castus (I think it's called) is fantastic it helped me a lot.

Good luck some of your symptoms are sounding positive, I'm learning not to symptom spot to the point it's unhealthy as it will soon drive you crazy!!! Dreaming that you are pregnant is the worse

Welcome back stranger

Yay new cycle new chance! I love it going to steal that line.

I too have been a bit of a Debbie downer lately but it's hard when you want it so bad!!

 

[MagicDance]

Haha cheers psychochick! Tmi but- Going to be making out while watching horror films and dressed as a zombie chick har har. I looooove Halloween.. I know I'm too old but still.

 

[supergongjoo]

@magic we arent too old. never too old for fun fun times! The cactus is supposed to help with irregularity? Sorry for the dumb question but what exactly is considered irregular? My cycle ranges from 28-31 days mostly occasionally it will show up at 34 or 35 days but thats not too often. ( mostly stressed months)

@earthly i hear you on the downer times. I have been having a fairly rough time this cycle copping with the fact we havent successfully conceived. I feel like everyone around me has conceived and some quite easily. I do find myself slumping into very rough times every time AF shows her head. its been a rough journey but i know once my bean comes it will make me appreciate and cherish every flipping moment 10 fold. I hope the long hard journey will make me that much better as a mom. Its sounds weird but it feels better knowing i am not the only one who has these hard times. Sorry i tend to ramble lol

@mkayes is trying not to try hard is tough. at least for me its tough lol
