ttc#1 new looking for buddy!

[TTTTina]

I will be doing the smep method and using preseed every time too. Also I think i may start to temp too.

 

[MH5280]

I'm gonna stick to opk's. I don't understand temping..

 

[TTTTina]

I don't neither lol. I'm going to give it a try tho

 

[Jules8]

MH5280- Oh no! I'm sorry AF showed .

So far I am starting vitex and maca, having hubby take maca too. I'm continuing to do opk's (wonfo and digital), and temping but switching my method. I think that' it! Lol Oh, and were going to try SMEP the best we can.

 

[MH5280]

I want my hubby to do more. I heard pumpkin seeds increase sperm flow, so I'm going to get him those. I want more for him.... But I'm kind of afraid to ask... He just seems so annoyed anytime I bring up something about trying something new...

 

[Jules8]

Maca increases sperm count and motility, but it also increases energy. It's a food based supplement. Maybe introduce it as a vitamin? My husband is supportive of all my crazy methods, but when it comes to him he is hesitant. I told him it was natural so it can't hurt and it helps with a lot more than fertility.

 

[MH5280]

Yea maybe... Where do you get maca? Do I new to order it? He just hates taking anything! I HAVE to remind him to take his vitamins... Which I don't even think he's doing... Ugh men!

 

[Jules8]

Lol! If they only truly understand how crazed we get! I got it at a vitamin store...I think Walmart has it too. It was $10 for a bottle so not bad. I figured if we take it together I'll just hand him one when I take mine. Next I'm making him a sperm analysis...he isn't excited but I explained that we just need to make sure it's all good for peace of mind. It's way easier then when I have to get my stuff checked out! Lol

 

[MH5280]

Is it literally a pill? I thought it was like... Loose leaves or whatever! Haha! I should search it!

 

[Jules8]

They had all different forms. I thought the pills would be easier...powder vitamins make me gag. Lol

 

[TTTTina]

I'm getting those sharp pain in my boobs now. They suck lol. AF didn't come today, even tho today's not completely over yet but I'm hoping she comes tomorrow so I can drink some. Lol

 

[MH5280]

I hate AF! Haha! I had constant cramping last night, it kept waking me up! This morning is better, although first thing in the morning when I was getting ready, it was seriously like ripping my ovaries out! But better now, thank goodness!

I hope we can all have a few drinks this weekend to relax after this crazy week! I have a bottle of wine calling my name! Then that's it! After this weekend I'm off alcohol, hopefully for 9-10 months!!

 

[Jules8]

MH5280- I am glad your cramps eased up. I always feel like cramps are even worse when af decides to be tricky. Enjoy that wine! lol

TTTTina- Boob pain does suck! lol

I have some serious af crampage today...ugh. No AF at the moment, but it is surely coming. I took a test and bfn of course so I am just going to go with the flow this weekend and not stress about it. Better said than done if AF still hasn't shown! lol

 

[TTTTina]

AF hasn't shown yet but I definitely feel her getting closer and closer and cramps last night sucked for me too, but my uterus is still in tact. Lol. I have a bottle of wine too!! I think i may just have a couple glasses to relax, then I'll switch to water. If anyone asks why I'll make something up. Lol. I'm not telling anyone I'm ttc. Lol

 

[Jules8]

You can be creative and bring a glass that's not clear. Nobody will even notice what is in it! lol Me and my hubby are just having a movie marathon tonight for halloween. I wasn't allowed to celebrate as a kid (religious reasons) and now that I can celebrate as an adult I just don't get into it really. It's just one of those things that if you never celebrated it than it just doesn't have meaning.

 

[MH5280]

I wasn't much for Halloween either. A few years, once I turned 21 we always dressed up and went out downtown, but I'm too old for that! Haha! It's just not the same anymore!

We are just going out to dinner with some friends, then I don't plan on doing much else, it's sooo cold! And started snowing today!!! I am SO not ready for that! I'm gonna make some soup and watch football! Maybe read a book!

My hubby's work is beyond stressing him out, all he wants to do when he gets home is drink some beers. I understand! But when ttc id rather him not... But any other tips on how I can help him release some stress.... Other than sex! Haha

 

[TTTTina]

The cup idea is a good thing and the more they drink the less they'll notice that I'm not getting drunk, haha.

When I turned 21 I dressed up and went out to bars for halloween parties. Also friends houses for them. I still go to at least 1 halloween party a year cuz I do like to dress up and drink lol. Tonight going to my aunts little get together then taking the son out to trick or treat with her.

 

[Jules8]

OMG..snow?!!! It's getting colder but just sweater or hoodie weather. I don't know if I could deal w snow this early on! Lol My husband gets super stressed...plus ocd. I try to get him out for a walk or suggest a drive. It works sometimes, but other times I just leave it alone or he gets worse.

I went through a wine phase so I always brought my own cup to hide it because everyone made fun of me. Lol I used to be a big partier...I get exhausted thinking about my 21 year old lifestyle. I worked full time plus 24 college credits then went out basically everyday. Lol I am glad I had the experience, but now I am ready to settle down.

I don't know how you guys feel about names but I thought since have talked a while so I feel safe you won't steal my identity..please don't. Lol I'm Julie but somehow it always gets turned to Jules so either one works, nice to meet ya!

 

[Jules8]

Oh...I just remember about reading an article about how women and men show their stress from work. It said that it takes men 15 minutes when they get home to settle down. It said to talk about something not stressful or not talk at all for 15 minutes to get their mind off work. It sometimes works too! It gave other suggestions too but I forget.

 

[TTTTina]

Hello julie! Well my says it all lol. Tina lol. I don't like snow, too cold. Pretty to look at tho lol. I was partying with friends before I turned 21 and then at 21 I went out alot. I used to be a big drinker then I got pregnant and that all changed lol
