TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[HollySSmith]

You could have, that's quite a jump in temp...though I find it's easier to tell if you have O'd after a few days of temping.

Sla545- good luck testing, and yeah 9dpo is really early...I got my at 13dpo, after getting a at 12.

Is there anyone else who is testing this week?

Congrats to ya!!

We will start testing either Saturday or Sunday. I want to wait longer, but I know me and knowing I have a drawer full of HPT, it's killing me now. But I know its too soon. I don't know if it's nerves or what but I have been so nauseous these last 2 days and my "girls" are oober sensitive. Hopefully it's not PMS with a side of nerves...

Anyone else testing this weekend?

How many DPO are you ?

 

[marieb]

Oh and quick question my..temp was at 97.6 over The past few days amd This morning its at 98.34. Does it mean i have O'd already?

That definitely sounds promising. Fertility friend usually confirms ovulation after three high temps. I'd keep BDing for the next couple of days just in case, but if it stays high you probably O'd.

Good luck and hope this is it for you

Mimismom - sounds like you have covered yourself for this months so big fingers crossed for a BFP!

I'm still waiting to ov - only on CD 12 (i think!) and negative on the opks so far. I've ordered some soy isoflavones for next cycle.
I REALLY want my BFP soon and we've barely started trying! Its funny how you can be going about your life totally content, then as soon as you decide to try for a baby its all you can think about!!

So true, I'm in the exact same boat. Been thinking about soy isoflavones. Have you used them before?

I haven't, I was recommended them so thinking of taking them next cycle - I was too late for this one!

Since we're on the topic is anyone trying anything different this cycle to up their chances of conceiving?

 

[Hann12]

I am - I'm taking b6, and now also b complex. I'm also using opks and hoping (if it arrives in time) to try natural progesterone cream. I've had short luteal phases so hoping that helps!
Any other tips?

Haha I'm trying like five million different things as its probably our last good chance of concieving before we go for fertility testing.

I'm doing all the regular things like OPKs, charting and checking cm and cp. I'll also be trying
Robutussin- for increased quality and quantity of fertile cm. I'm also thinking of trying grapefruit juice for the same reason as I know lots of people who have had success with it.
Softcups- to keep the sperm up there longer haha
Preseed- pretty self explanatory
Kiwi and Pineapple core- After ovulation to help with implantation

We're also going to try BDing every other day around ovulation. We did the everyday thing for a few months so now we're going to work with the assumption that maybe there's a slight sperm count issue going on.

Goodluck.and lots of baby dust to you

 

[Hann12]

Never heard of grapefruit juice helping! Like the sharing of tips!
Baby dust to all too!

 

[sla545]

Good luck to everyone! Lots happening in our thread!

Well I shouldnt have even wasted a FRER this morning. I was up all night in the bathroom last night being sick and emptied my bladder about 330 am. Def not a good FMU to test with. It was a BFN, stark white. Onto tomorrows test. I havent really been paying attention to symptoms butmy boobs are getting more tender every day. Usually they get sore before AF but they feel swollen too. I also had a temp dip on 9dpo so maybe its an implantation dip! This weekend cant get here fast enough.

In terms of using things to help, we tried a sample of preseed that came with my digi opks and even if we get a BFP this cycle, dh wants me to order some for "regular use". He said it is the best stuff weve ever tried

Do you know how the kiwi and pineapple help with implantation? Im always a sucker for learning the science behind things!!

We got Preseed too but haven't used it yet as its a bit pricey and we don't know when I'm ovulating at this point (if I ever do ) but I heard somewhere that youre not supposed to use it regularly....no idea why and don't remember where I heard it (maybe the doula lady we bought it from) but just something to maybe check into a bit

 

[MamaMac123]

Okay ladies, question.....if you look at my chart you see I'm way into this cycle (like day 33 or 34 now) and still no sign of ovulation and no AF....so my question is, how do I end this cycle? Does this current chart just keep going and going and going until something happens? What if I decide to try soy isoflavones? You're supposed to start them on like cycle day 3....how do I do that if there's no AF to start a new cycle???

I believe the kiwi works like baby aspirin does. You can read an article about it here: https://www.thatslife.com.au/Article/Real-Life/Real-Life-Stories/Kiwi-fruit-made-me-pregnant
It's also full of folic acid and vitamin c & e which never hurts!

As for the pineapple core it's supposed to be the bromelian in it that helps, supposedly it helps to break up proteins that inhibit embryo implantation. No idea it it's true though, but lots of people have gotten their BFPs after doing it.

I'm afraid to take all different herbs and supplements just because of side effects so if I can find something that doesn't hurt, I'll go for it haha

 

[runnergrl]

WOW-so much to catch up on! sounds like you girls have been busy! me? just sitting here bored, waiting fot stupid AF to show up... Ugggh.
