TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

Things my side are good thanks. Have my 13 week scan next Wednesday. I have a feeling it's a boy and so does DH and my mom, but a very intuitive colleague told me it's a girl. She told me I was pregnant before I even knew so I'm hoping she's right! Also (and this is an old wive's tale), my face is covered in pimples, which apparently means it's a girl. But as I said, I think it's a boy.

CT- that's coming up so fast! Excited to hear about your scan!
Sunny- sorry to see AF got you!
My HCG level was 5!! I saw a different midwife today (there are I think 5 midwives in the office so often see a different one each appt) and she said that I don't have to wait for AF to TTC once my HCG is less than 1. So now I am feeling conflicted on if we should just see what happens or keep preventing until after AF. She also reassured me that it is very normal to have HCG levels slowly return to normal and that it can take 2-3 months before AF. Also cycles can be abnormal for a few cycles as well.
So, I will get HCG checked again in 10-14 days and I surely hope it will be normal!!

Ct that is so exciting! Can’t wait to hear about it!
Amber- I know that’s got to be so frustrating. It’s good that it’s so much lower but we want AF for you soon! I hope you don’t have much further to wait. Will you guys force a new cycle or will you wait for AF to come naturally?
Sunny- since AF got you, what are your next steps?
Afm- I go to acupuncture today. I am feeling surprisingly good about this cycle! I don’t have Progesterone suppositories but I am using natural progesterone cream. Hopefully that’s enough for me. 6dpo today so nothing to report otherwise. Been feeling minor cramp like feelings today but, who knows if that means anything haha

Tb- acupuncture sounds interesting. I'm thinking about trying it if my cycle doesn't regulate on it's own. I really don't want to take any extra medications unless I absolutely have to so will try to patiently wait until AF arrives!

I love going to acupuncture. Since I started it right after my surgery cycle and the same time I started Clomid, I can’t say 100% that it is doing anything extra.. but I feel like it is and the relaxation it produces is at the very least so beneficial! I’ve read so many articles in favor of acupuncture for fertility and even some science/medical journals encouraging it.
My acupuncturist today said just what Sunny had said: that having BD the day of ovulation was actually perfect and that it’s almost better even, since usually the day of O is following several BD sessions so the supply could be dwindling so to speak by O lol so hopefully we got it! I’ll find out soon enough..

No positive OPK yesterday either.
Will test again after work today. We're just BD everyday anyways because it should be soon.
Not seeing any fertile CM unfortunately (same as last cycle). So we're using preseed to supplement.

Dream- hopefully you get that positive tonight!
Afm 8dpo I caved and tested lol I only did because my amazon order got messed up. I ordered 20 opks and it was to come with 5 HPts.. well instead they sent me 40 opks and 20 hpts. Ha! So I have lots. Anyway, I swear I was seeing a glimmer of something but, you know- way too early haha

Opk still negative but EWCM sightings. I'll take it!
UPDATE:
EWCM last night. ( which I haven't really seen in a couple cycles.) This morning's OPK test line is the same as control. I'm not calling it positive just yet because I usually get a blazing positive darker than the control. So I'm thinking this afternoon will be it. FX

Yay! I hadn’t had much EWCM since I started Clomid but this cycle I actually had some. Not as much as pre-Clomid cycle but it’s better than none! I never got a “blazing” Positive this cycle like I normally do. Just the same as- that’s still a positive even if it’s not your normal. Get to Bd! Lol
