YAAAYY I got my computer back!
Sorry, but idk how some of you can mobile BNB bc it was a real PITA - kept having to resize the screens, hitting the wrong links, & then typing
fugeddaboudat! I gave up…
Janey – You may want to chart, honey. It will track your cycles in case they do get wacky & it puts all of your symptoms together to show when it thinks you will O, as well. Between the EWCM, +OPK & temp changes, you’ll be a pro & know exactly what your body is doing at all times. Or if for some reason your chart would ever show a few months of irregularity, you would want to go get some testing done for issues which are famous for making your temps go crazy – thyroid, PCOS & whatever else. And when you did go to see an RE, if that is in your future, your chart will show them how your cycles run & etc. Sorry if I said this before, I don’t want to sound like a broken record! CD18 is not too late. I O on CD20-21. Most sites say that this is OK, but I have recently read some studies which suggested that mc rates were way higher for people who didn’t O btw CD13 – CD17, so I am going to try vitex to see if it helps me just bc I tend to mc… But if this is the only month you O’d CD18, I wouldn’t worry about it at all & even if you always O’d CD18, I’d prob not worry

DrH – Argh, sorry link didn’t work, they must have done some re-routing, so I searched on the topic (no need to sign up!) & here it is again: https://www.fertilityfriends.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=226042.0 Hope you are doing well & wow on 20g carbs! That’s SO hard! Just remember (as you prob know) if you are going to diet just make sure you get nutrition that may be missed on low-carb diet (& as you know, that diet is only supposed to be temporary to drop weight fast, but then slowly get back to eating nutritionally if you can). As you can probably tell by now, dashka is really good when it comes to Nutrition
GL!
Dash – you have so much passion about Nutrition – I hope one day you can do that as your dream job bc it resally suits you. Oh & quinoa recipe looks super-yum so I copied into my new Dashka Recipe file.
Hmmm, your chart is diff this month! I see you got +OPK – so maybe you O’d CD12 even if its not a huge dip, maybe you O’d quickly after???
I didn’t get to view the link, but you should definitely nurture yrouself & take me-time every single day – at least 1-2 hrs,I like that! And hoping you get a sticky post-HSG bean too, that would be FAB on morning of appt!!!
Moondust – You may want to take folate in addition to your 400mcg folic acid. As we get older, some of have malabsorption, methylation issues or other issues so we have to take 5mg to absorb it properly. You will pee out anything yoru body doesn’t use/need as with all B Vits. Hey, also see my post to janey about charting – it’s super easy, free (unless you want VIP version $45/yr?) & you will get to know so much about your body & cycles (it tracks everything – moods, symptoms, meds, etc). You’ll learn very quickly how to tell when you are about to O & then tell if you really DID O (you can get +OPK & not even O sometimes).
(PS, just read about toxo
that sux!)
Pad – I felt you calling!
Yum your recipe sounds really good too! I think we can all pretend like airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars as we could all use a wish right now!!! (love that song) But like Dashka says (cracked me up) no falling allowed!!! Love the new PMA you have! Btw, where are you in your cycle, wasn’t AF due a few days ago???!!!
Dwrgi – So glad you had a great heart-to-heart w/OH.
Take your time & enjoy yourself for a while. To load photos go to the Advanced screen, look right under the text box & you’ll see Additional Options. Click on “Manage Attachments”, choose your file & then hit Upload (but you may have to full screen to see it, as that confused me in beginning). Hope you are doing well honey & taking care of yourself & having a lil fun before you do more time
:
Chicken – I just got to see your chart?!
I’m so sorry, it looks like you are right & you didn’t O?
(or maybe it could be you may major estro dominance or progesterone deficiency)? You may want to go get Day 21 (+/- depending on cycle) bloods done next month as your temp definitely dropped it just didn’t shoot up past cover? And I know last month you were in hot climates for first part, but your 2nd part was still way lower then your avg temps this month & they should be quite higher than your avg (36-ish) that you can see from this month? That’s just what I see & it’s just a suggestion but it’s also possible that if you did have a chem in July it could mess up the next cycle. The rainbow & shooting stars sound incredible & I didn’t know that was possible!!! I like to think that maybe it’s a sign so hoping it is a sign of good things to come to you whether it’s this cycle or next couple cycles!!!
BF – I love the
! Reminds me of me in the morning
I hope you are doing fab, that the renos are coming along & that back it behaving!!! Big luvs coming your way – I shall catch up on your journal soon!
FlyF – Glad you are mellowing out now. We all get excited in the beginning & then there’s like this “settle in period” for those of us who weren’t so lucky. Each person views it & takes it differently, so hard to know what would be next. But a more relaxed outlook is definitely better!!!
Asry – I am going to have to google those things you mentioned also! If Molkoson is like probiotic (& espec if it’s cheaper) I’m so getting it, thanks!
How’s the house-hunting going? Hope you are doing well!
Nessaw – Argh, what a PITA!!! Hope you get yoru apt soon honey &
!
Grk Porn – Yeah that mucinex works wonders right?! So glad as that is so important! I have to give it to you, every other day for 10 days but every day around O – whew! I’m exhausted just thinking about your plan!
Btw, you def O’d & I have heard of not getting Peaks on CBFM for first 1-2 months as it is learning about you, so defin pay attn. to the other signs – EWCM & temp drop
Oh – Greek festival sounds YUMdeliumptious! Have ot admit – I have never tried baklava
. Dinner is so filling I can’t eat even ½ as it is!
Fro – I developed a theory that if we are in the Cone of Death from the outset & if we prepare even just a little, a hurricane will never come!
It’s the sneakers that get you… I guess the center will pass just under us (so far) – yay! (course that may change 15 more trimes) What they don’t tell you is the winds extend out 200 mi from “the center” so now we’ll “only” have to deal with 50mph winds, floods & tornadoes – no probs!
That’s still very windy & we have to do some prep BUT the really good news is when a hurricane misses you & you have a really strong TS, it is just the Florida tradition…HURRICANE PARTAY!!!!!
(I’ll have one for you) Hope you’re doing well, stay safe & dry, & thanks for checking in & thinking of us
.
Purps – Yay for bank holiday for you & UK ladies!!! How many national hols do you guys have? Have fun sweetie & thank you, I’ll be safe!
Tiger – gosh, I can’t believe they didn’t test the
first too?! Ugh, you have some tough decisions & no such things as me-posts, all I can do is send you some really big
Nikki -
honey – not long for you now – yay!
everyone else!!!
OK, I’m pooping out, now! Just prepping for TS now (yay!!!) & FF moved my crosshairs but I think it will move them back when temp goes back up. I confuse it as I always dip 3-4 DPO (pregs or ov) so it’ll prob move them (but just in case, I did cover that day too!). How cute DH comes to me at “former” 2DPO “so, did we make a baby”?
He’s starting to get a tad bit “interested” in it now…after
20 months TTC… that's ok no hurry or anything, eggs just getting older by the month!
Thank you all for the well-wishes!!! Big xoxoxoxo's
~~~~~ to you all!!! Hugs & Kisses!! Fro!!!!
I hope all of you have a fab weekend 
!! 
you are braver than me!! 
!
) but they also make baklava.... I love greek food 
. Plus I'm trying to think positive that maybe something will happen after my HSG...
