TTC in June anyone

[Libbystepof4]

I'm so excited for you Kira! I'm just starting the primrose oil. I hope it helps, along with the billion other things! Lol
Nelly, red raspberry leaf is supposed to help tone the uterus and make it a healthy spot for a bean to stick! Ive read to stop it at ovulation, just like the primrose oil as they can both cause the uterus to contract. I've pretty much just started taking all this stuff in the last few days, except the prenatal. After being so sad and feeling so helpless when AF comes, I just figure I want to do everything I can.
I'm also reading about which foods are helpful for fertility. I just read an article that said different foods are helpful during the different phases of our cycle. I just don't want to feel like I didn't try as hard as I could.

 

[RayinNY]

Libby- can you link to that article about the food?
Thanks

Here is the first one I read. If I find any others that seem helpful I can post them!

This one talks about healthy, in general, foods for fertility. Not cycle phase specific.

Nelly, sounds good. Test woman!

Glad it's all good Kira, happy for you!

Gotta, you ok?

Libby, you sound like a woman with a plan, well done! Best to know you are doing all you can.

My o pains have stopped after 3 days so guess I'm in the tww...

 

[Nervous nelly]

That's great thanks so much for that info defo going to try that next cycle ☺️☺️

I tested BFN 👎🏼😔but I knew I wasn't so shouldn't feel surprised and onwards and upwards for the next cycle and 🙏🏼that it's my turn 😔. I prob shouldn't have tested at the end of the day after a day of drinking water and prob should have waited till morning cause now I keep thinking maybe it was too dilute and that's way but at same time I can't be disillusioned. Sigh 😔 just wasn't to be this month 👍🏻chin up, breath and reboot

 

[littlelily]

Sorry Nelly but no necessarily out yet!

Swimmy, any news?

How are you Rayin?

 

[littlelily]

What is an SA? I feel dumb. Lol

I think SA is sperm analysis?

Good luck with that Swimmy. When will it be?

 

[Nervous nelly]

Yeah I should practice what I preach - ur not out till AF shows 👍🏻

Well going to have a good read of those articles and like Libby going to ensure I do all I can.

Baby dust to all & keep up the updates those left to test ☺️👍🏻

 

[Lilly_m]

Anybody here try grapefruit juice? Did it help with ewcm?

 

[RayinNY]

Thanks so much, Lilly_m. If this cycle is a no-go, I have a long list of things to do differently next time. I took Clomid, so I definitely need more help with cm to start with, and then I really need to cut down on the caffeine (I've already cut down so much for me, but I think next month when I'm not working- I'm a teacher- I should just go down to nothing).

The TWW is KILLING ME. I'm symptom spotting like a maniac, but I'm fairly sure my sore BBs and cramping and elevated temps have to do with Clomid and my hCG shot. I'm dying to test tomorrow @ 9 DPO, but won't. I NEED to hold out until Friday. Someone needs to hide my FRERs. haha


How's everyone else dong?

 

[Lilly_m]

You can do it!! You'll feel better if you hold off! How long have you been ttc?

 

[RayinNY]

Thanks, Lilly This is our 7th month, but I'm not sure how many times I actually ovulated in that time as my cycles have been scary irregular.

How are you doing so far?

 

[gottajones]

Hey ladies!!!

Sorry, just got caught up on what's been happening in my absence. I officially started af today as scheduled and she is BEASTLY!

On an exciting note, I also started this month's concoction today and after reading about it have also added maca to the mixture. Hey, I figure it can't hurt.

Littlelily I'm good. Thanks for asking! Waiting for ovulation AGAIN

Libby It sounds like you're ready to go!!! And thanks for sharing the articles. I'll read through those shortly.

Nervous nelly Fertility tea is supposed to support your reproductive system by regulating hormones, preparing your uterus for implantation by strengthening it, regulating your cycle and improving your sex drive. I've been taking it since early March and have noticed that its helped my sex drive and lengthened my lp from 12 to 16 days so its staying in my mix.

Kira Yaaaayyy!! I'm glad your lines are getting darker!!!

RayinNY I agree with Lilly m. Hold off if you can, but if not we won't blame you. We definitely understand how it is!

Lilly m I haven't heard of grapefruit juice helping. Great, now I have something else to google. It's a good thing DH is occupied watching basketball!

How is everyone?

 

[Nervous nelly]

Yeah hold of Rayin I wish I had of, soooo excited for u.

Gotta thank u so much for that information, think I ll give that a try this month and see if I notice a difference. Looked them up there how much should u be paying for this? There are expensive ones or cheaper ones? Would it make much of a difference do u think?

I use to drink a lot of coffee and stopped now, not sure having one here or there would make a difference but would have no clue. I miss it terribly.

I am on the weepy time today, random tears cause of the BFN. I know I shouldn't but it just springs into my eyes and I have to keep telling myself to man up. It's very disappointing but I need to try handle it better I am struggling I have to say 😢😢

 

[RayinNY]

I just re-read what I wrote yesterday and I'm the prime example of why you don't skim things when you are at work and should focus- I totally have gotten LillyM, Libby, and Little Lily mixed up, so I'm sorry for that ladies. I see an L__y and didn't even realize that your handles were so similar- need to work on my reading skills and I'm a teacher haha Sorry, ladies!

Nelly- when are you re-testing? I need to stop the coffee, but I'm going to miss it so much! I've been doing the equivalent of one cup of coffee spread throughout the day (I make like 3 25% caff and 75% decaff mixes for myself 3 times a day), but I need to make changes. You aren't out until AF shows her face


LIBBY (see, Im working on the handles haha)- thank you so much for the articles. I volunteer to be our guinea pig and try them out next cycle

How's everyone doing today? I'm feel like I have AF symptoms, but it's only 9 DPO so I have no idea what's going on (that seems early to have AF?) Totally confused, but def not testing until Fri. I have just avoided my medicine cabinet like the plague due to my lack of self-control

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

 

[Nervous nelly]

AF just showed 😢sniff 2 days early never been early ever 😢no cramps, no signs just arrived. So I move onto July but hey least it gets me back into the race earlier and I have a wedding next week I ll really enjoy it over a few procesco now 👍🏻

 

[Lilly_m]

Rayin-i stopped bcp in February so I count myself officially ttc in March.. So cycle 4 now! I have pretty regular cycles so I'm hoping temping this month might help me figure out exactly when I'm ovulating!

 

[RayinNY]

Nelly- sorry to hear that, but enjoy the wedding Now you can really party!

Lilly- you sound like you are due for a BFP- I read somewhere that you have a 25% any given month (just by regular chance) if all things are normal, so by that calculation, the 4th month or so should be your month Mine are apparently slightly higher on Clomid because they can be more particular with the timing (something like 33%), so I have to be patient if this month doesn't work out. Baby dust!!

 

[Libbystepof4]

Oh nelly I'm sorry! I was really hoping for you!
Had super weird things happening in my uterus last night. Felt like I was being tapped with a cattle prod. Didnt hurt but felt like a jolt right in the middle of my lower belly. I usually only have cramps during my second day of AF so idk what the crap this is all about. Maybe some of this stuff I'm taking to tone my uterus is jacking around with it. Lol
