Do you ladies like my new avatar? Tryfor posted one of a bump...and then she got a bump!! I thought if I post one of a baby, the same thing might happen. Although I'm hoping for a human baby rather than a cartoon baby...felt weird posting a pic of someone else's baby though. I'm really losing it, huh?

I thought I would follow suit MyTurn and change my avatar! This picture is what I want! Everything feels so different this cycle and I keep telling myself I am going to get a bfp this cycle, but the test keep telling me bfn.... I wish they would just give up and agree with ME!

Aw BBdreams! If you are 11 DPO like your ticker says I doubt there would be anything for the tests to pick up, right hon?

Tanikit - I can hear your sorrow in your posts, and I heard it last cycle too when you were down. I feel so hurt for you. I really hope that taking a break and possibly seeing a therapist strengthens your relationship with DH. I'm trying to focus on that too, just growing closer to him and appreciating what we have rather than focusing on what we don't.

Nice beta Moon! I didn't realize that the females were so pretty.

Anna - it is really hard for me to say whether or not you've ov'd just based on your day to day symptoms. It is the pattern of symptoms and temps that makes it more clear. If you don't want to temp you can just chart your symptoms but because I can't see that it makes it difficult for me to offer any opinion, sorry!

Howdy Niamh! Good 'ol turkey basters indeed!

LuckyD - how cool is that about your job offer! Did you get along with the people you spoke with? Do you think you'll be happy there? I hope you'll be ok with 3 months full time. Hey, at least it will take your mind off, you know, stuff. Hee. I'm really happy for you!

 

[Annamumof2]

well if all else fails this cycle i will temp next cycle

 

[tryforbaby2]

Julia how are you feeling - what symptoms have you got or not got?

I am particularly down today - while my temperature is only slightly up this morning I am pretty sure I did ovulate and even if I didn't after what I said last night in tears, I very much doubt we will even get near the bedroom today (or anywhere else for that matter) I feel like we have thrown away a whole cycle and with no hope of the next one being better. Sometimes I feel like I am being selfish, but actually I am just getting very depressed and don't know what to do about it. Sorry to be such a downer I cried for over an hour last night.

I don't know exactly what to say that the other girls didn't already mention. I pray for my list of women to come with me very soon.

I feel like an idiot already saying I 'possibly' have symptoms but I have stringy thick snot like (light greenish/yellow) CM, My cervix changes all day everyday so it's not a good indicator but right now it's high and very soft and awash in CM (like it is every month at this time). My boobs are still sore, and they have been since O, but I noticed that for a few cycles already. Also I am getting pulling feelings all over my lower abdomen, slight sharp cramps and ovary cramps (light). My two big symptoms right now (I don't know if it's myimagination) are: I have only been sleeping 5 hours each night this week before I wake up to pee, then it takes me 2-3 hours to fall back asleep?...WTF? lol Whether I go to bed at 10 Ill be up at 3am...if I go to bed at 11 I amup at 4am...etc etc....and when I do get up for the morning I am very lightheaded, slightly nauseated from being lightheaded and I feel dehydrated. But like I said I am unsure if I am 'making' these syptoms?....

umm is my posts not showing up?

Anna, please don't take this the wrong way but I only post on people's posts when they give the curtiousy of responding back on everyone elses posts. It's frustrating when you are talking about something and no one is answering you.

I am going to leave this site for a while, while I may pop in and see how you are all doing I need a break - its just been far too much this month.

Good luck to all of you. I hope there will be lots of BFPs soon and that you will all have healthy happy pregnancies. I may not be gone long, then again I don't know. I need to sort things out with DH and me and it will probably mean forgetting about a baby for a while though I say that but know I cannot do it.

I am going to miss you dearly. When you feel better and things are going the way you want them too, everyone will have the hearts and arms open for you.

Girls, post a bump! It gives you something sweet to look at!!!
When my company leaves tomorrow, I will type up my chart for this past cyclefor everyone since I don't have an online chart. Some of the things I did this month are:

Softcups after 'Try them, you might like them!' Plus no leakage!!!
Digi Opk (New 1st time using them!) Smiley 1st day I used it CD13 (normal O CD18!)
CD11, CD13 and CD14 that's it!
Red Raspberry Leaf Tea every other day as a part of my breakfast.

DH takes a men's multi vitamin (already has 15mg of zinc) requirement for good sperm is 30mg, so I gave him an additional 25mg of zinc (50mg pill broke in half).
I have been taking prenatal vitamins also.

I also dranks grapefruit juice (mixed with wine) this past cycle also right before 'early' O. I think it thinned my CM?...

If I think of anything else I will let you all know!!!

Hi Tryfor symptoms sound all good they say your cervix wont settle on till you are about 6 weeks max so don't worry about that. you know I don't know if I said it already but when you had your internal I thought may be that will do the job as I have heard it from others as well also I guess the pressure was off and with every thing else it worked great out come so great to see one of us graduating at last

Anna This had crossed my mind earlier as well, but couldn't think what way to say it with out offending. but I do agree with Tryfor and hope you take it in a positive way,

Hope every one else is well, I have some supplement shopping to do it seems LOL but Im stopping EPO and Bcomplex and sticking with the MACA I swear I am feeling a huge change I'm already wanting but on till my AF is gone and thrush problem is cleared up then I guess my hips will just have to stay twitchy I have noticed that my AF is supper light and very little cramps as well must be the MACA

Hey ladies another term for nookie vertical jogging!!!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Thanks for the list TryFor. Celtic, I'm also considering what I should try next month... I'm thinking of Soy Iso and/or Progesterone. I'm a bit nervous about progesterone though, because I've heard the over the counter kind can have varying quality. Plus I really don't want to screw up my cycle more. I just worry about my short LP.

I also highly recommend Softcups if nothing else than the leakage. One night I didn't use them and woke up in the middle of the night regretting it!! They are extremely intimidating, but seriously, they are super easy!

Well, AF is due very shortly for me.... Going back and forth between obsessing and finding the ability to just accept that whatever happens is going to happen. Kinda strange! Glad to have you ladies to remind me to TTHF!!!!

how sort is yours,sorry if you have already said mine was 11 so bit worried about that even though I know its still in the ok range but not if egg implants late. I will let you know how the maca goes, I might try flaxseed oil, royal jelly and may be angus catus if I need to. I read on the maca thread one of the girls is used progesterone cream to help her cycles. she has low levels so as soon as she gets a BFP she will need to go on some form to increase her levels and hold on to the baby

Ive been thinking of getting soft cups for my AF, some one suggested it may be the Tampons causing thrush.

Hi all

Niamh - sending you some, I have always looked to your posts for advice and wisdom, please keep popping in for a chat.

Tanikit - I understand sometimes everything just weighs you down and you need a release, will be thinking of you please keep popping in to chat.

Lucky - have posted in your journal, soo pleased for you, sounds like a good deal they are offering.

An Update on Molly - she is doing ok, i went to see her this morning and we shared some special us time in the paddock at the vets, no one else was around, I think I am the only one who visits there horse at the vets!!

I love the idea about the avatar, I think I will find one of a pony with a bump in the hopes that after all of this Molly is in foal.

Thank you so much, Im going no were either, Im taking a break all right for now and looking forward to it. I would only miss every one and I want to see how every one is doing
Glad to hear Molly is ok, guess the stallion got a wee bit carried away I know they bite when covering when we covered our mare Happy she came out a lot luckier a few scrapes and small bites bit other wise ok, do you think any of the other mares got jealous or Territorial of a strange mare hogging the stallion attentions. I hope she feels well and safe now and lets a foal grow. I know they can prevent a pregnancy if they do not feel safe and secure. how long before you know for sure will the vet do a scan in 4 weeks or so.

Ive been thinking of getting soft cups for my AF, some one suggested it may be the Tampons causing thrush.

When I first started charting almost a year ago before I started taking B Complex, it was always 8 or 9 days.... I have talked to my OB/GYN twice about it and she doesn't seem concerned.... I've been taking B100 complex since January, I think and it seemed to help, then not, and now I'm taking B200 (one 100 capsule in the morning, one in the evening)... I dunno! I also have a lot of spotting before and after, so even with an 8-9 day LP I was spotting a good four days before AF!!!!! But last month and this current cycle are looking better from a spotting standpoint, so maybe taking two B100 capsules a day is helping?

My sister also had a very short LP, nearly identical cycles as mine including all the spotting. She had a really hard time getting pregnant, but after almost two years and a few losses cry she finally had her beautiful baby boy. At her first appointment with her doctor after having him, the doctor asked her what kind of BC she wanted to go on. Of course my sister laughed and said Are you Kidding?!?! .... well.... BAM! she's pregnant again! About 12 weeks now. Her son is now 9 months old. So that gives me hope that eventually it WILL happen, and once it does, it will be easier the second time around.

Oh, and like we've heard from a lot of ladies, she ended up getting pregnant with her son the month before she was going to go on Clomid! That's why I'm hoping TTHF will be helpful for all of us....


Oh, and about Softcups for AF... well, personally, I wouldn't use them for AF. They are pretty flimsy. They work well for holding in some but.... They must work for ladies, but also look into Divacups or MoonCups. They look a lot sturdier!

Thanks I think the soft cups are for TCC arent they LOL

I hope the B100 works for you, my mum was the same it took over two years to get pregnant with me and she thought it would be ages for a second I think I was 6 months when she got pregnant with my sister Im the eldest of six so there is always hope
Go TTHF

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Technically the softcups ARE for AF, but,.... I just wouldn't feel comfortable with them. But you could try them, and just be sure to have some "backup"!!!!

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Actually, it might be a good idea to pop over to the Softcups thread and ask the ladies there. Maybe some of them have tried them for AF and can give you some reviews.

 

[soph77]

Hi ladies, slept in and don't have time for a big response because I am now running very late for a dance workshop!
I didn't bother testing this morning because me temps have plummeted. I guess the witch will be visiting soon, but it's ok, I've made peace with it. Onwards and upwards!!! I think this cycle I am going to have to throw away my allergy medications, I think they are giving me a hostile vagina!!

 

[soph77]

Oh and will be changing my avatar to a bump when I get back

 

[Moondance]

I've been a bit trying to stay away from the TTHF lately... as I know the whole purpose was to have fun, but lately a lot of people are obsessing and being sad and I've been coming on to see some fun stuff and all, but then there is just sadness.

Awww Moondance I guess you just have to take the bad with the good. Even when you are trying to have fun there are still times when those you are used to having fun with will get down, so I guess you just have to try and be supportive and wait until things come back up

 

[soph77]

See my new avatar!!!!!

 

[soph77]

In an effort to cheer everyone up, let me tell you about one of my birds.

We have 4 birds. 2 live indoors and 2 outside in an aviary.
Buddy is an antisocial grumpy budgie, and Fletcher is a paper obsessed overly hormonal cockatiel.

Lola and Xander are my Alexandrine Parrots who live outside, we are hoping that they will bless us with some babies in spring.

Anyway, Fletcher as I said is over-sexed. He has a bachelor pad behind the fridge where he likes to drag pieces of paper and hide out until an unsuspecting person enters the kitchen to get a drink or whatever. You open the fridge and BAM bird attacks your foot!! He is psycho!

Right now he is masturbating. He has a wooden peg attached to the top of his cage which he pleasures himself against several times a day. First thing he does every morning when his cage is uncovered and opened is get up on top and rub himself on that peg. We have tried to remove the peg but he becomes so frantic and agitated that we have to put it back.

So there you go, tthf!! Fletcher does...

Thankyou bb, well said.

I wanted to respond to you moondance but as I am feeling a bit emotional today I wasn't sure what to say. We all get a little down from time to time, I am sure you understand. I love this group and everyone in it. I think we are doing so well keeping on the lighter side of this ttc business but it is emotional and we need to give ourselves permission to feel what we feel, when we feel it or we (will I know I would) go bonkers!!!
