Wishing for a Christmas baby

[caro103]

Reedsgirl, wheres your journal??
I like stalking people

Yay for the day off! Only one more day for me then got over a week off!

 

[kissyfacelala]

hello ladies....thought i check in and give an update...no AF yet so my theory for 57 days is out....but I feel AF coming....I feel wet similar to the few days before she comes....or maybe wishful thinking...

welcome to Jade....looks like I will have lots of information about soy before I start taking it....

caro...no fair...AF was supposed to come to me not you!!!

looking forward to a long weekend as well....

will be checking your journals later Mel and reedsgirl...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey Caro I am a tard when it comes to computers so I do not know how to link my journal to my signature or here but its really not that exciting as I don't temp or anything. Really I just talk about how I am feeling or what exciting thing is going on..or if Tj and I have had a fight and I need to vent!! But your welcome to stalk it.

Kissy how are you today?? Still no AF I see. Well have you tested or just waiting a few more days?

 

[caro103]

Sorry Kissy! but maybe you did catch that (rather late) eggy and shes on for a good long holiday!
mm, maybe I should start a TTC journal, was hoping I could skip that and go for preggo as that'd be way more interesting, as reckon I haven't got anything overly exciting to say, but seems like may take longer to take that next step than initially thought. Wish each month could be like this one though as be happy AF arrives...so much better for the mental health! Now how to pretend not TTC....

 

[caro103]

Ps reedsgirl, bet its more interesting than you think! and its all about the pma and support xx

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I love my journal just for that reason Caro. I really don't have anything exciting to say but I can get things off my chest and the girls are right there to support me. Start one. I would love t stalk yours. Mine is called ttc after a tubal reversal...crazy momma wants #4 with sexy ied hunter...LOL!! I didn't know what else to call it. Just go to my page and and under my threads I have started there are not many so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. I am also with you on how to "pretend" we are not ttc..I think it would make this experience so much easier...ugh the stress of it all!! LOL

 

[kissyfacelala]

hey reedsgirl...I have tested but with

not sure why I tested since I did not ovulate so a would be a miracle!!!

my temp has been up for 15 days but I think that it is because of the hormonal balance vitamins...FEMMED...I am taking...

there is no way I am pregnant...waiting for withdrawal bleeding...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Kissy you sure you didn't just O late if your temps are up? I have not the first clue about temping since I can't seem to ever take mine but I always heard high temps is a good thing! YOu did plently of bd for the month right?? LOL

 

[kissyfacelala]

reedsgirl please do not get my hopes up!!

and yes we did lots of ....we are newlyweds and are TTC...but not sure if we timed it right...if I did ovulate it would have been two weeks ago...which would have been when my husband had a cold and we did not and I did not have any ovulation symptoms then either...and I usually do...

not sure what is worse....no ovulation or ovulation and missed it....

like I said my temps are up....15 days now...but it would be a miracle if a :BFP: showed up

do you ladies really think I ovulated???? or is it the vitamins causing my thermal shift??? maybe too soon for FEMMED to do anything???

uggh!! the joys of TTC.....

 

[kissyfacelala]

just came across this website....think useful for all of us...

https://www.natural-health-for-fertility.com/

also the FEMMED hormonal balance contains VITEX which stimulates progesterone production which would increase my temp....good thing to get AF!!

 

[Jade_Kitten]

thanks everyone for the warm welcomes ^^ i just have to take the soy today and tomorrow and then the waiting for ovulation/side effect symptoms begins lol...how long after taking the last dose of soy...did you notice anything different, weather it be side effects or O symptoms. about how long after O symptoms do you ovulate? thanks ^^

 

[kissyfacelala]

yup! AF showed up this morning! I am so happy! feel free to slap me silly since I am happy that AF showed up!

I am back in the game!!! can't wait to start my magic pill recipe...

today starting with 6 capsules of 500 mg each evening primrose oil for total of 3000 mg daily...until ovulation to get that EWCM!!

yipeeeee!!!!!!!!!

 

[caro103]

Kissy!!!
Here's to our BFP's this cycle!

I realised I only bought Vit B and it should be B6?! so might just be natural this month and then next month find some other pills (or not as I'm going to get that BFP this month!)

Jade-I'm sorry huni, i haven't used soy! for me though the sign I'm going to Ov is a large increase in EWCM then my temp shoots the next day and CM dries up to creamy.

So everyone got plans for Easter? I finished work today until 12th!! woohoo! going on my hols on Saturday for a week

 

[cheekybint]

Hey all i'm back! Been away for 24 hours unless you didn't notice lol

Hi and welcome Jade! I'm also taking Soy this month, last night tonight. It's the first time i've taken it, only side effect i've had so far is slight diarrhea, and i'm not 100% sure that's Soy related

Fantastic news Kissy!! Not very often we get excited by AF arriving lol I managed to get 1000mg tablets of EPO, but with all the other's i'm currently on 19 tablets a day lol That'll be cut down by 9 from tomorrow as i'll have finished my Soy for the month.

Caro - how much b6 is in the tablets? Maybe you could just up the dose on them instead of waiting till next month. I got mine from Asda, they're currently doing 2 packs of vitamins for £4. So i got the B6 and another pot of Folic Acid, can never have enough of that in the house lol

Plans for Easter - Nothing! Except for eating chocolate lol I'm now off work for 2 weeks

Hope you have a great holiday Caro

 

[caro103]

Lol, missed you! hope you had a fab trip to your friends!
2 weeks off! wow! so can't wait for my break! though wish AF would go away a little, not going to be easy managing it whilst on a boat :S but at least the worst should be over with!

Now I feel a bit silly...the vit B complex does have B6 in it! but only 2mg, my prenatals has 2.6mg already, in fact the B complex has a fair few of the same ingredients as my prenatals:
-thiamin (B1)
-riboflavin (B2)
-Niacin
-B6
-folic acid
-Vit B12

hmmm not sure whether should take extra does of all of the above as already 100% or more of RDA in prenatals?

I'd apprechiate your guys thoughts!

 

[cheekybint]

No i'd go buy B6 instead, lots of stuff in that b complex!!

 

[kissyfacelala]

hey cheeky...so far the pills have been easy for me....but only first day...LOL

this morning at breakfast I took my evening primrose oil....3 capsules...500 mg each...then at lunch I took my prenatal and another 3 evening primose oil capsules....

on CD3 gonna start my soy....they came today...the capsules are 60 mg each of soy...gonna take 4...to get 240 mg daily or should take three only for 180 mg????

i have my chasteberry but I cannot take them if I take soy....chasteberry counteracts the soy....chasteberry is to regulate cycles...hormonal balance....my intent is to have more estrogen adn ovulate....once I ovulate I know I will have my luteal phase of 15 days as usual but this time the LP will be very very long...lets see enough for a healthy baby...hehehehehe...

temping, OPKs, magic pills and lots and lots of

feel really good about this cycle...PMA!!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Wow girls I feel lucky...I am only taking 7 pills a day. I found my pills at GNC here in the states. The epo is 1500mg so I take 2..the soy does have the 100mg so I take 2 then my 1 prenatal 1 baby aspirin and 1 50mg of b6. I am really ready to cut out the soy..those pills are HUGE!! And I have had some headaches in the morning..almost feel hungover and I no longer drink!! LOL. Also my bm is really loose so thinking its the pills but I am praying in the end it will all be worth it!!

 

[caro103]

It'll be worth it Reedsgirl!

Just found out another of my friends on facebook is 14wks preggo...happy for her but jealous at same time! ah well, my time will come!!

Off to do lots of scrubbing and packing today! whoop! xx

 

[caro103]

Right so I popped to Tesco...
Have reappeared with Vit B6, Soy Isoflavones and EPO! hehe

B6 could only get in 10mg tabs so guess that'll be 4 of those!
Soya is 40mg so going to take couple of those
and EPO is 1000mg, will just take 2 of those

Here comes my BFP!
