Confused me here!!! Ok so I was expecting AF yesterday (I have a 29days cycle) and she was a no show. Not even spotting. Same thing today, not even cramps. I had tested a BFN on Thursday and I felt so discouraged and down. Haven't tested since. The only thing unusual is the incessant gas and bloating. And fatigue and mild hotflashes every now and then! But breasts are not sore or sensitive so that is why am thinking that this can't be a BFP. Just don't want to be disappointed again! At this point I even wish AF would show so I could go on with my life!!!

Hi BLD - that happened to me last month. AF 3 days late. But, I have heard that it still can be possible to get a late BFP. Its a bit rare but possible. I know, all I wanted was for her ot show up so I knew at least I was normal. It may have been a chem preg, just not enought to show up. Who knows. Seems like this crazy sh#%$ doesn't happen to us until we are TTC, then all of a sudden our cycle go wacko just when we need them to be nice & steady, status quo.

GL to you - guve a a couple more days

Hi ladies! Hmmmm I should be in the 2ww. Worried now I'm not ovulating as no positive yet and cm really dried up. I had ewcm on cd 13 and 14 but no smiley. I didn't test as early as cd 10 or 12 - maybe ff is right and I did o early. However temp is coming down now and I am only cd15, just impatient - maybe I will o tomorrow or Monday!

GL all x

Gemmy, I'm right there with you!!! EWCM CD13 & 14, now dried up & no +OPK yet on CD16. But, I didn't ov til CD18 last cycle - usually 5wk cycles. But temps are all over this cycle - ???? been a little sick. That seems to be a common "flavor of the month" I'm hearing so far?

Just wanted to drop in & tell you that we seem to have similar cycles & ov times AND symptoms, so someone is going thru it all with you!

I'll keep tabs on you so let me know if/when something happens & I will also post when something happens (or doesn't?) w/me... Keeping FX for us both!

Hi Lil

Wow we sure do seem to be similar! No change here - still no +opk, I shouldn't be so surprised but really expected it this weekend. My temps are getting lower and lower which is weird compared to last month. It almost looks like my period is coming on my chart. What about you?? Maybe you will ov on day18 again. You know I've been feeling a little sick. Maybe all this is delaying it for us.

Thanks, I will keep FX for us both too, keep updating!

I'm hoping you'll wake up tomorrow morning w/higher temps - thinking this could be the dip before ov for you -? You may have to eventually discard a couple of those temps around CD9 (?). TBC...

AFM - had a spark of hope late last nite w/EWCM back & then dry again today. And temps skyrocketed today but I know thats wrong - just from sinus/nausea illness crud going on & the meds. My temp now is way lower than this am, so I'll prob hav to discard that temp. in order to get crosshairs.

Perhaps tomorrow will bring sighs of relief for both of us I'm just a little worried bc had hormone tests came back not so great so now that info can play havoc in my mind & the stress alone from thinking I'm not going to ov can actually delay my ov (such a vicious cycle). I know - relax, relax, relax...

GL & FX!

anybody trying any dietary/herbal remedies to boost fertility this cycle ?
I started adding honey and cinnamon to my morning oatmeal and almonds as my snack..... I heard grapefruit juice is good for cervical mucus...so ill throw that in I guess.

I'm doing the honey and cinnamon too. I've been doing it for a couple of months, but I mainly focus on the cinnamon and do the honey whenever I have something that can really mask the taste (I don't like honey). But I found that cinnamon delays my ov by at least a couple of days, though it gives me crazy amounts of watery and EWCM, so I take it until a couple days before I expect to ov and then stop. Then after ov, I start taking it again. Hopefully it'll help this cycle.

Good luck! I hope you have as much luck with the H&C as the other ladies on the H&C group. fx!

Good luck keri - hopefully your chart is dipping because of being awake that early, you just don't know. Did you see your doc this month? I know you said last month dh said he would get sa if you had another bfn. i know that when I booked my dh last time that was when we did x

Sorry about af but great your cycles are good. Yeah get hubby a test, nothing to lose x

 

[Posey]

Gemmy, yay a smiley You must feel relieved. I think if you BD the 27th and 28th you stand a good chance!!! Good luck ma' dear! FX

Keri, I'm sorry the arrived but am happy your LP is longer... good sign!

Laura, today I'm 7dpo and cd 25. My LP was only 11 days last month, so I don't plan on testing, just waiting for AF to arrive (or hopefully not!). No symptoms to speak of, I had cramping/pressure on 5dpo, but I brushed it off because it probably wasn't early enough for implantation or anything. I will wait and see...
I love the names that you have tentatively chosen, they are classic and lovely. Are you hoping for a girl this time around? Although I'm sure you'd be thrilled with another wee boy

LilSluz, I'm sorry your body and hormones are playing havoc with your emotions it never seems fair. I hate to hear it sometimes, but do try and relax... just try to think of things one day at a time, that's what I do. "I'll see what tomorrow brings". That way I don't get toooooo caught up in thinking of terms of months and weeks, which seems like an eternity and drives me crazy... xo GL to you and I hope all is well

everyone else I missed, and is this Wendy's birthday?! Happy Birthday lovely Wendy!

Welcome to the TWW, Beautifullei2! I hope you enjoy your stay and it ends in a BFP.

I would say to make sure you BD at least a couple days past when you think you might ov too, if you're not tracking your cycle. Sometimes you can ovulate later than the 15th day too, even with a 28 day cycle. How long do your cycles usually last?

HI lovely ladies!

Keri - sorry to hear AF arrived - but HOORAY!! for longer cycles....

Wendy - HAPPY B-DAY again!

Hello to Posey, Laura, Sarah, LilSluz, Gemmy, Ella and anyone else I missed (sorry!) xoxo

Heavenly - are you still out there?

AFM - AF is almost on it's way out.... On to the next cycle! I am determined to get my BFP by my b-day in May (40-yikes!)

Hi Moose - wow I never heard about cinnamon and honey before re: fertility... Love how food can do stuff like that. I know the cinnamon is a 'warming' spice just like ginger I've been told to have that re: improving my spleen (Chinese medicine) Going to start adding cinnamon to my oatmeal and making putting a cinnamon stick in hot water for tea! Thanks and Fx for you this month!!

Thank you

I usually mark it on the calender and my OBGYN said to start trying on day 10-20 to increase our chances. My cycle usually is only lasting 3 days if that. I spot the first day, cramp & sometimes heavy on the 2nd and by the 3rd its pretty much done.
