What you doing this cycle?

[sallyhansen76]

Ladies,

I thought I would start a thread for all those who are starting a new cycle and have a renewed optimism and arming themselves with even more info(I didn't even think that was possible), tools and anything else that would help.

Hi midnight! I am still early in the game but I'd love to join your army if you'll have me. I am still in my first cycle of TTC but I begged my hubby for over a year and so now that he FINALLY has given in, I showed up armed & ready! This cycle I used Preseed, OPK, BBT & of course my daily vitamin which contains folic acid. Also take iron as I am semi-vegetarian. I was SO optimistic coming into this all! Unfortunately I started spotting at 6DPO & it hasn't stopped yet. But, I figured one unsuccessful month was some sort of proper initiation into the TTC club, lol. I've now got grapefruit juice in the fridge & plan to do honey & cinnamon. Let's take the down!!!

[Jo_Bean]

Thanks midnightfalls - well we've been together 15 years, and hubby is always saying he's not a performing seal and I can't just click my fingers for him to jump on. So these days we have to be more creative! Otherwise it feels like a job

But we are ready to and kick that 's backside!

 

[cntrygrl]

Hey ladies. Going to try a vitamin called fertility blend if there's no BFP this month. We're still new at TTC. I tried taking prenatals but found that they lowered my immune system and I was constantly sick which also threw my cycle out of whack. Good luck to everyone )

 

[twinklestop]

CD 1 for me as well WITCH got me today!

 

[sallyhansen76]

So Sorry ladies. Big hugs to veryone But now we are going to attack this thing full on.

Anyone taking anything to relieve the body for the stress this ttc business causes.

Hey Twinkle we are on the same day. How long is your cycle? Mine is 29 days.

only drinking honey and cinnamon - it does really help to relax me before bed actually. Hubby drinks it too with a nice warm glass of milk.

 

[sallyhansen76]

You drink it??

 

[Jo_Bean]

You drink it??

haha! I meant to say warm water, honey and cinnamon, or warm milk.

Yep, just stir it into a cup of hot water or warm milk, it's lovely at bed time. I actually think it really does work!

Mind you - I did buy the v expensive manuka honey from sainsburys for £12 a bottle! but then I don't buy bottles of wine so I guess that's my new thing!

I tried eating it off a spoon and kept inhaling the cinnamon up my nose and then sneezing it all out. I find it's far more relaxing to drink

 

[sallyhansen76]

Me too i bought some raw organic honey its really yummy.

 

[Jo_Bean]

Me too i bought some raw organic honey its really yummy.

But i heard when you heat the honey some of the properties that we are searching for (being to get pregnant) were taken out when heated. Is that true?

I think it's ok if you warm it gently. So don't stick it straight into boiling water. and only heat the milk up to a mild temp. I will look for the websit elink that someone gave me and see if I can find the info..........
