My cycles are a bit irregular but my calendars were suggesting today. I will test again in the morning, but tonight I did have some light spotting (only when I wiped). I'm not so excited to see the spotting as its a typical sign of AF for me >_<.

 

[supergongjoo]

spotting could be implantation bleeding! keep your chin up and hope alive

 

[lvksa]

Bfn this morning. Not a line in sight on this test.

 

[MagicDance]

Oh no lvksa, Thats so confusing. Was that your fmu? Maybe try again and test later. Is the test an early response one? I would try a different brand of test. Good Luck.

I have no af again today but felt like I would wake up to her. Im trying to think positive while waiting but 15dpo and bfn still

Hope everyone else is doing good. *Game faces*

 

[Earthylove]

Hello ladies! I haven't been on here in a while. Ivksa, hopefully it is just implantation bleeding. Keep us posted on how things go/ develop!

Well, I'm 3 days late and still no AF. I tested this morning and it was negative, as clear as day! I'm probably just having a long cycle
I would like for AF to just hurry up so I can try again.

 

[lvksa]

Hi girls
I wasn't feel well at work this morning. Dizzy with a massive headache. I came home from work and took a 3 hour "nap". When I woke up I was bleeding heavily with pretty strong cramping. The cramps are normal for me, but my period isn't usually so heavy. Anyways, AF got me, so I'll be getting ready to try again this month .

 

[MagicDance]

Hello Earthylove, how many dpo are you? If you implanted late (12 days) it still may not detect the hcg. *Fingers crossed* But I know what you mean, when you see the bfn you just naturally want the next cycle to start

lvksa - Feel better soon! To the next cycle.. We are both on cd01. Af caught up with me too..

I decided im just going to stay put here now though I still want reports on everyone.

 

[supergongjoo]

Earthly its not over until the witch shows!

Magic and ivska are you guys going to try anything different this cycle? I was thinking of trying an herbalist if af gets me

My period is due on wednesday. I cracked and tested this morning and BFN. Im still holding hope as I very begun to find dh amazingly irritating lol. Hopefully its not pms

Anyone else left waiting to test?

 

[Chole1026]

I'm still waiting to test but I still have about a week left until I can! Feeling a couple symptoms but we will have to see!

 

[lvksa]

@supergongjoo

I don't think that I'm going to be doing anything different.
I think that my chart is going to be a bit weird again with temping as I've got some travel ahead of me. This Saturday I've got a 14 hour flight then again on the 23rd with some domestic flights in between. The international travel sometimes messes with me.

 

[MagicDance]

Hi Chloe1026.. Good luck when you do get to testing. What symptoms have you had?

Super- I have some fertility crystals on their way for me and hubby. They are supposed to help with any health issues / emotional blockages or negativity and stress. I thought why not give it whirl, I'm into natural practices.

I'm also going to stay eating cleaner and do more gentle exercises like yoga I decided. Also going to see about getting some of this maca vitamin.

Urgh I'm so snoozy today. Wish I didn't have work!

Have a good day all.

 

[Chole1026]

Magic- I've had a couple of twinges here. I did have spotting two days ago but it only lasted about ten minutes. Other than that I've just been more tired than usual. FX.

 

[lvksa]

magic

The clean eating and gentle exercise sounds like a good plan to me. I might have to follow you on that one. I might try to eat less gluten.

What is the maca vitamin for?

 

[Earthylove]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! AF showed up yesterday and I was kind of relieved to at least have a definitive answer rather than wondering and trying not to get my hopes up. This cycle I am tracking my temps, CP and CM on fertility friend. I'm also planning to do more consistent, gentle exercises like yoga and stuff. And eating well. I got some fresh dandelion leaves to eat and make tea with, which is supposed to be good for your blood/liver. I want to support my body as it cleans out the uterus and gets ready to line things back up again
I tried maca back before I was ttc to help regulate my hormones. I would keep taking it but I ran out and have been too cheap to buy more!
I felt like it gave me a lot of energy though. I would definitely use it again. DH took it too. It's supposed to help with sperm motility or something like that.

Fx for you chole! Keep us updated how many dpo are you?

 

[supergongjoo]

@ivska Maca is used to help regulate hormones leading up to ovulation. its not recommended to take after ovulation. its supposed to also help sperm count, mobility and libido

im still 2 days away from testing both excited and nervous lol

@magic where did you get crystals? i would love to try anything that might help!

 

[beemeck]

hi all! GL to those testing soon !!

lvska - so so sorry...I really thought that was it for you But it looks like a lot of us our cycle buddies now!

I've been laying low...CD 5 today. Been feeling sad. I feel like I get bummed when I test and see BFNs, but of course still hold on to hope until I get AF. And then when I first get AF I just feel relieved that at least the answer is definitive and I'm able to start a new cycle. Then CD 2, 3, 4 - it hits me and I feel sad and worried. So I've been staying busy and trying to focus on the positive.

Trying SMEP this cycle, which starts BDing on CD 8 so I feel good that in just a few days I will be taking purposeful action toward TTC. Wondering if there is some truth in that BDing every day reduces the quality of the sperm. When I got my BFP, we only BDed twice - the day before and day of ovulation. in July I tried the same thing and when that didn't work I tried every day of my fertile window in August. BD the 4 days leading up to O, day of O and after. and nothing.... so hoping SMEP gives me the result I want!

Also going to start drinking the Red raspberry loose leaf tea when it comes in mail tomorrow. I heard it increases EWCM. Some months I get a ton, others not so much. The only definitive thing I can pinpoint about the month I got pregnant that was different than July and Aug was the abundance of EWCM in April. so here's hoping I produce a lot this month.

FX for all of us - we got this!

 

[Chole1026]

Earthy- I'm about 8dpo. I believe I ovulated early and I can't wait to be able to test!

Hi everybody, hope it's ok for me to join this thread. I'm currently on CD3 on our second cycle of trying.

Didn't measure temps last cycle and won't this one (all looks a bit complicated). Plan to BD every other day after AF finishes.

Was lurking on the forums last month and saw what a great support network everyone offers so wanted to be part of that. X
