Hey Y'all,
my DH and I are TTC baby #1. Been at it for about 8 months no with no luck. To be fair before it was more of a "if it happens, it happens, we are ready" but now we are REALLY going for it. Previous months I just used the Ovia fertility app to track my cycles, see my FW predictions and track CM and etc. We DTD near predicted ovulation by the app but I never had anything other than school-glue CM and random spots of EWCM but never in the middle of my cycle.
This cycle started on 9/19/16, AF is predicted 10/20/16 (im a little irreg. so it's usually a few days earlier than predicted). I started using supplements as follows:
Prenatal vitamin since last cycle.
EPO CD 5-14 (got watery CM, then EWCM for 2 days, HUGE glob while at work the second day of EWCM)
Switched to flaxseed oil on CD 15 (heard EPO may cause uterine contractions preventing baby from sticking)
Astroglide TTC lube on CD 11-14 (also DTD each of those days at least once)
I also greatly increased water intake (cutting WAY down on soda and other drinks), approx. 3-5 full YETI cups of water a day (usually closer to 5 full bottles (I believe they are 32 ounces, but I always have ice so hard to get exact).
Now I am in the TWW at CD 19. I have had a weird month with symptoms but I am afraid its all in my head. But I want to track all of this here for mine and anyone else's reference. So here are my s/s this cycle and if I end up just being crazy and getting AF I will track next month too to find out what works. Anyone is welcome to join and add their input here!
Cycle s/s:
CD14-EWCM, DTD w/ astroglide TTC, EPO
CD 15- +appetite (ate lunch at work and was still starving!), big glob of EWCM, +libido
CD16- +appetite, very little school glue CM, +libido, flaxseed oil
CD17- No real s/s, school glue CM
CD18- School glue CM, headaches (dull and annoying), nausea on and off, backaches (working nights moving patients could be the cause of this), indigestion (haven't had heartburn since I had GERD in my pre-teens), +libido, flaxseed oil, bright green stools x3 (never go 3x in a day unless I'm sick), felt a little feverish, boobs tingled on and off and had some sharp pains in periphery of boobs, butterflies in stomach
CD19 (today)- feels like I have nasal drainage in back of m throat, cramps every now and then, green stools (darker today), lots of watery CM (can feel it, definitely), headaches again today
Not sure what day exactly was my O day but today I should be 4-5 DPO. Next month I'm temping and using OPKs.
I will update with s/s until AF or BFP. Baby dust to y'all!!
