[armywife88]

Hey my name is Hayley. I am new to TTC. I was wondering if anyone was on CD5 who was looking for a buddy? This is only our secound month trying. Just let me know! & :babydust:

Hiii
I'm Annie and i'm on CD7. I've been ttc since january so far, fingers crossed for this month xxx

 

[armywife88]

Hi Annie! I'm on CD6. I will definately be crossing my fingers! we should keep each other updated. Its always easier when you know someone going through the same thing. I try to explain what its like to DH but he doesnt understand. LOL

 

[belle254]

i know same here what are you using this month? e.g. opks, temping, clomid, preseed etc. i'm going to be trying opks for the first time and its getting me all excited!! xxxxxx

 

[ARRIELLE]

Hi...ladies i am a newbie...i am on cd6 and taking my last dose of clomid today (this is my first cycle on clomid 1oomg). I am happy my af came on march 1st... It makes things so much easier to track...lol...oh and i am also taking epo, flaxseed oil, prenatal vitamins, baby aspirin, and when i baby dance ill be using raw egg whites and canola oil...i have no clue if the clomid is working for me though, i am not under a doctors care... Ya risky i know, but i live in a small town and my ob/gyn feels i am too young to be on clomid(lol...i am 25 and have been married for 2 yrs.) and thinks that if i change my diet ill conceive naturally... Oh fyi i have had one natural preg but had a m/c @13 wks last year, and havent gotten preg since... So i just couldnt wait any longer for my clomid...ill also be using the opk's starting on the 9th of this month... I took clomid days 2-6 with absolutley no side effects.

Aw arrielle i'm sorry about your mc last year. wishing you lots of for this month! i'm not sleeping very well at the moment but apart from that im excited and ready to go i want the next week to hurry up so i can get bding i swear the time drags so slowlyyyyyyyy. xxxx

 

[armywife88]

I'm sorry to hear that Arrielle, from me too! Belle254, I have just been temping, opks, and I take prenatals everyday. I wanted to try epo and maybe look into foods that make you fertile. Have either of you tried preseed? I'm curious. I know waiting for seems like forever then you have the TWW. I didn't really think TTC would take so much patience... goodluck girls!

 

[belle254]

sounds good armywife! whats epo? and i was reading stuff up about grapefruit juice and raspberry tea or something. the tea sounds a bit to me, but ive been drinking grapefruit juice and taking vitamins xxxxxxx

 

[armywife88]

epo is an oil that increases CM. Oh! I totally forgot I drink 1 cup of green tea every morning, I have been drinking it way before TTC its just all around good for you. Tea isn't too bad if you add a little honey to it. I haven't heard much about raspberry tea I look into it thanks!

 

[belle254]

lol how does the epo oil work? i dont think i'll be using that, may be tmi but i get enough of cm aready
i think if using opks and drinking grapefruit dont work this month, i might be open to other options next month. im just so excitedddd why is there so much waiting when ttc?! its a nightmare! why we were taught that you can get pregnant in a split second in high school i dont know, cause its obviously not the case for a lot of women! xx

 

[ARRIELLE]

Lol... Ya i cant wait until next week either ill be dancing(...lol sounds soooo funny) on the 10th thru the 20th, i am also montioring my lh levels...so i hope that i can see a result. No i havent tried pre seed, but i have heard alot of good things about it. Ill also be taking robitussin. They also say to consume alot of water around ovulation, cm is water, but i am just really hoping to actually ovulate.

 

[armywife88]

You can get epo in a vitamin form. I'm excited too! I swear its all I talk and think about lol. Yes i feel very deceived about what school taught about getting pregnant. I wish it happened that way!

 

[ARRIELLE]

Ha ha ha ya that is exactly how i feel... Deceived...j/k, but your lucky you have only been trying for a month, so if you dont have any fertility issues you should fall pregnant soon!!! It took me about 22 months to get pregnant he first time but see i have pcos. My clomid should balance my hormones...and were you on birth control sometimes that effect you.

 

[armywife88]

That is true, only time will tell if we're in for the long haul.

 

[belle254]

We're all going through basically the same thing, so its nice to have all you girls around for support after me and OH dtd last night he was asking loads of questions like "what happens now?" and "why isn't this a good time of the month to get pregnant?" i had to try and explain everything and stop myself from laughing. xxxxxxx

 

[armywife88]

What does robitussin do? I know drinking water is good for you but what about diluting your urine for OPK? I test around 2pm and I dont drink anything 2 hours beforehand. is this the right way to do it?
I love everyone on BnB! There is always someone there to answer a question or to give a kind word. haha I know what you mean when explaining things to DH he looks like a dear in headlights! Aw, love him...

 

[belle254]

never heard of robitussin let me know when you find out what it is armywife! got a faint positive opk this afternoon which is a big step up from yesterdays flat out negative, wahoo will keep you updated. maybe this is why i havent caught yet- i might be ovulating earlier than i think??
xxxxxxxx

 

[armywife88]

YAY! I'm excited for you! I really have no idea when I ovulate so I rely opk. I just did a little research on robitussin and I think it is just another thing to help your CM. Yeah definately keep me updated I'm curious. I was looking at my last cycle and I started the day I thought I was going to ovulate. So I was wondering if I ovulated early last month.

 

[belle254]

that must have been a really short cycle armywife! and thankyou im excited toooo xxxxxxx

 

[ARRIELLE]

OK FIRST OFF LADIES YOU DONT WANT YOUR URINE DILUTATE FOR AND OPK OR PREG TEST(IT WILL MAKE THE HORMONE MORE DIFFICULT TO DETECT) THE ROBITUSSIN OR MUCINEX LOOSENS MUCUS AND IS KNOWN TO INCREASE CERVICAL MUCUS... GOOGLE IT LOL...SOOOO NOW ITS CD8 FOR ME... I STARTED 200MG OF SOY ISOFLAVONES YESTERDAY AS WELL...LADIES PLZ GOOGLE SOY ISOFLAVONES TOO, I BOUGHT MINE AT GNC THERE ARE ALOT OF BENEFITS TO IT, WELL AT LEAST IN MY CASE,... WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO START YOUR OPK??? AND GOD I AM A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT OVULATION ALOT OF LADIES REPORT STRONG SIGNS WHILE ON CLOMID AND ISOFLAVONES, I NEVER HAVE FELT O PAINS BEFORE....LOL
