Oh this sucks. af and FF are taunting me. af 2 days late and this morning after I put in my temps got this message from FF - You have more than 18 days of high temps! Please take a test, you may be pregnant!
%*%#!##@#!^^&()#)*&^%$#@!!@#%$#%
Well I took a test2 days ago and got a big fat nothing so I am not willing to take another one when I know I'm not pg!!!! Gosh I hope my cycle doesn't do Moon's trick! I don't think it will, I can still feel her lurking.

I wanted to try acupuncture around O time but dh doesn't want me to 'throw my money away' just yet. We have made a plan. I think that maybe we have been stopping bding too soon and that maybe I am Oing after my temps start to rise so dh has promised me heaps of sex the whole cycle through (well at least until O is well and truly confirmed, he couldn't last all cycle). I made him decide on the days so he could take ownership of the plan. He decided every two days on even days, so we will give that a try. If I don't get knocked up this time with all that SEX and my new herbs I will go down the acupuncture route next cycle. But there WONT be a next one!!

Honey, my friend just made a huge cake sized choc cupcake for her son's 1st birthday. But not to eat, just for him to smash up and sit on and take photos!! A whole cupcake cake wasted!! And she used a really yummy recipe too, I cry to think of all that goodness wasted..... so sad.....

 

[honeybee28]

soph, your friend is CRAZY!!!! and so is your body for playing games, so mean. i really hope you're one of those people who gets knocked up but doesnt have a bfp til you're like a week late, that would be so amazing huh. Maaaaybe you should do another one just to check though?!

i'd like to try acupuncture too - i think titi's tried it?

Im off to bed to watch the last austin powers movie, groovy baby yeah baby yeeaaaah!!!

 

[soph77]

Honey IF she doesn't come today, I will test tomorrow, but seriously I can so feel her coming, just wish she would hurry up! She is on a 'go slow'.
Last night dh rolled over for a sleep grope, and i thought, eh why not? might get af started, but it didn't. Was a nice midnight romp though

 

[CelticNiamh]

Soph Ild try another one tomorrow see what happens, FX its just one taking its time to show eh!

Honey, Grovey baby!!! LOL enjoy the film

sending you all Sticky ''Get in my belly'' baby dust

Hey everybody! I'm just getting back from my weekend with my family for my nephew's first birthday! Glad to be home!

Ok I have just come back from the health shop where I was talking with the on-staff naturaopath. I went in for SoyIso but she quickly talked me out of that. It was easy to talk me out of the soy because I don't really think soy is good for you. This is only my opinion and I don't wish to tread on anyones toes here!! I realise that millions of people world wide eat and drink soy and sing its praises and that is fine - more power to you, but I kinda think it is bad, even though I was willing to try it. Clutching at straws. In the end I thought that I shouldn't mess with my ovulation which occurs fine on it's own.

Anywho, I digress...

I got a wild yam/vitex blend which I am to take throughout the cycle. These are supposed to promote a balanced cycle and hormones.

The other thing I got is called tribulus forte which is supposed to stimulate the LH to promote a strong and healthy ovulation. iT is also good for mens sperm issues, not that I would be able to get dh to take anything!

She said I should keep taking the maca and that these should help me produce some fertile cm! One can only hope! I am so desperate I will believe anything anyone tells me!!!! Anyway she also suggested that I actually go and see a naturaopath (she just works at the health shop) who has access to all of the herbs individually and could make up a specialised tonic specifically for my fertility needs. I said I would do this if what I got does not work. She suggested I give it 2 cycles and then see a naturopath. She also suggested acupuncture around ovulation time and gave me the name of one who specialises in acupuncture for fertility.

Witch still has not actually arrived yet but I know she will today. I am so not pregnant But this is going to be a SUPER CYCLE!!!

Soph, no worries -- I think everyone should do their own research and figure out what's best for their own situation. I'd hate for anyone to start taking something just because someone else was taking it! Did the naturopath say "Why" soy wouldn't be good for you? I've seen good and bad stories about it. So far, I'm a huge fan. I'll definitely be taking it again next month if it doesn't work out. I'm 7DPO and haven't had the major amounts of spotting I usually do from 3-7 dpo. Plus the early O. But I am definitely interested to know what the naturopath said about it! I'm almost to the point of chucking everything and just saying screw it....

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Here's the cake I made for my nephew! I had a fun time chasing him around and playing with him all weekend!

 

[honeybee28]

squirrel that cake is amazing, you're super talented!!

ahhhh soph, im so hoping your preggo. i remember one month i was 2 days late, it was so frustrating. really hope she doesnt arrive. sex often does help to bring it on doesnt it, wonder why that is.

awww niamh, good to hear from ya. yeah i have heard first tri is scary - i think i will stay away from it IF i ever get there.

urgh monday morning, yuck.

[Waitng4Baby#1]

uh uh-DON"T DO IT!! I thought for sure it would shut people up and make them feel all akward and bad about being personal but nooooooooooo it makes them worse! Now I have to answer all sorts of stupid insulting questions, like "maybe I can get some help learning when I ovulate" or "do you know you have to do it at a certain time of month"....or "my friend had problems too but she went on a holiday and got pregnant with triplets" or of course my all time favorite "aw hunny-don't worry, it will happen......you just need to relax!"

Yeah I'll relax...............IN MY PANTS!!!!

sorry I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Ok you convinced me for now. I just don't want everyone to think Im so into my career I think I can keep postponing babies for ever. If only. And my usually sensitive sister this weekend said 'well, tick tock big sis, you'd better hurry up'. Grrr

 

[Waitng4Baby#1]

Squirrel loving the cake! Mmm cake. I would like some cake. Doesn't feature in my 'by god if Im not pregnant will I be skinny' plan though....

Not that either part of that plan is working at the moment!

oh goody. work. and rain. my fav. NOT

thanks for the mudshake soph, it's delish!!!!

 

[Moondance]

Moon sorry AF got you, but in actual fact if you look at your chart you will see that your body is doing the right thing and you may be able to predict better next time - If you look at what they say on your chart is 20dpo (I think its the 20th of the month too) you will see a second temperature rise which lasts the average length of your normal luteal phase (13/14 days) so that if you O on 20th (and it looks from your temps like you did) then your luteal phase was correct. It seems you had what seemed to be an early temp rise (why is the line on your chart blue by the way?) If you take out the blue line where does FF put your ovulation for that chart? If I were you I might start using opks as your CM is not telling you the right info. Good luck for this next cycle and hope you feel better soon.

I can't use the stupid OPK's, they just don't read properly.
For some reason HALF the width of the test line, will be dark as dark can be and the other side is always pale, regardless of whether I'm close to ovulating or not. They always look the same. And yes, I know this means I could have PCOS, we're working on figuring out if I do or not.
Blood tests said no. Ultrasounds said no.
Nobody knows.

The blue line I made blue on purpose, as I was farting about trying to change it to this day or that day to see how it would change, since I was so over it, I just wanted to play with it.
But the BLUE line is where it put me as ovulating in the first place.
And how could my naturally occurring CM be wrong, over a pee stick being right?

 

[Annamumof2]

ok i officaly hate temping now
and ive had a headache sense last night grrr

 

[mimiwc2010]

Hello wonderful ladies!

I've been kinda keeping up with the posts from my email and I'm sooooo happy for those of you who got your bfp's!!!! I hope you have a h&h pregnancy!

To to those of you who are still waiting for your blessings, don't lose faith...it WILL happen!

I wanted to say goodbye to BnB, I'll probably come back later...right now I can't keep up with the anxiety of TTC and getting my professional carrer started, maybe () it'll happen when I least expect it (FX).

You all are so special and I hope you know it! Thank you for the laughs and good times!

Love ya'll!!!
