What are you doing differently this cycle?

[amyamyamy]

Good luck with the vitex tiny, I may try it if no luck this cycle. I ordered my preseed and red raspberry leaf tea. Fx!

 

[TinyLynne]

Preseed helped me conceive last month, so we will be using it again. I have Raspberry Leaf Tea, used it after my first chemical but then haven't since, lol. Vitex hasn't affected me at all yet, but it can take a while, as long as it doesn't have negative effects then I'll keep taking it. Good luck this month Amy! Where are you in your cycle?

 

[amyamyamy]

Interesting indeed...

I just finished AF and am set to ovulate in about two weeks. Just need my husband to fly here and deposit his little swimmers LOL

 

[TinyLynne]

I love using the term 'deposit' lol

 

[amyamyamy]

I try really hard not to treat him like a sperm donor but as of late, in the middle of moving and living in two different cities...

 

[TinyLynne]

I completely understand, we both feel the same way, like last month we were both sick, DH was on cold meds, so I told him we didn't have to do it so much, but he said "but we have to!" So we did, tired runny noses and all, the sperm donor and the bank... Lol. Do what you have to do. Try to make it fun! Like today after work while DH is in the bathroom or something I'm going to "hide" and then text him to find me, spoiler alert: I'll be in the garage in the back of the car with sexy music playing! LOL! He has no idea what he is in for! He is just going to shake his head and laugh when he finds me. But it gets to be such a chore that the fun goes away some times! Good luck!

 

[amyamyamy]

Love hide and seek ahhh so jealous of you and your sexcapades right now! Have fun!!

 

[TinyLynne]

First month using the CBFM and got my peak today!! I guess my cycles are stubborn and I will always O on CD21, which is ok, not ideal but at least it is predictable and at least it happens! As soon as I have a temp spike I will discontinue Vitex and start Prometrium! I'm pretty excited at what the next couple weeks will hold!!!

 

[amyamyamy]

Ooooh exciting! There is something wonderful about consistency isn't there? Good luck hun fx!

 

[TinyLynne]

Yes, it is nice that I have never missed my fertile window! Thanks! You know, I did find 5 4 leaf clovers and 2 5 leaf clovers in my garden over the weekend, maybe my luck will actually start to change!

How many more days till you O??

 

[amyamyamy]

I have never in my life found a 4 leaf clover, that for sure sounds like a good sign!

FF is predicting cd19 - cd22 so sometime the 8th - 11th. My cycle was super irregular for me last month so we will see. I'm going to ask DH to fly here the weekend before and during that week to collect the deposits

 

[TinyLynne]

where you find 1 you find more. I'll send you some of mine! Good luck with your hubby, I can't imagine how stressful that must be to plan and even just on a day to day basis. I hope it gets better for you both soon!

 

[peachandpine]

I quit caffeine completely this cycle, BD'd every day of fertile window (and 2 days after for good measure started OPK's to know when I'm ovulating and no alcohol whatsoever. I'm feeling super positive about this cycle and I have all my fingers and toes crossed for each and every one of you as well! X

 

[TinyLynne]

Good luck peach and pine! When is AF due for you?

 

[CP x]

I'm out this cycle ... AF showed yesterday at CD22...my cycles have been 32-34 days the past few months so I'm not sure why it decided to show 10 days early. On to the next cycle!

 

[TinyLynne]

Sorry about AF CP do you know what day you ovulated?

 

[CP x]

I have no idea lol I started using opks this month for the first time and I received them in the mail on cd11 so I took one that evening and got a really dark line that I think was a positive..then I continued taking them twice a day after that but never got anything close to another dark line. Is it even possible to O that early? I was still spotting a little from AF on CD9. My body is messed up lol

 

[TinyLynne]

It is definitely possible to ovulate that early. Was spotting from AF? I had ovulation spotting once, but it was super light and didn't happen any other cycle.

 

[CP x]

Oh that's good to hear! Maybe I was ovulation spotting, it just seemed like my period wasn't over yet, it stopped for 2 days and then I spotted a little and then 2 days later got a positive opk. I'm going to start opks cd6 or 7 this cycle and see if I can catch exactly when I O. I was hoping I was having implantation bleeding yesterday but I woke up this morning and it's kind of a lot of bright red blood and I'm having pretty good cramps today so I'm pretty sure it's AF. Oh well, on to the next cycle! Thanks for your help

 

[TinyLynne]

Do you track your BBT? It can't tell you when you are close to ovulation, but it will confirm that it happened and when (after the fact)
