@Jessiemuller88: I'm glad you are beginning to feel better and gain more hope.
I began drinking bone broth (* I know, YUCK, right?!
๐คฃ Actually, it has grown on me.) mid-month 2 cycles ago, as a herbalist and massage therapist I know informed me that bone broth contains calcium and collagen and is packed full of the amino acids proline and glycine. All of these are needed to build a strong endometrial lining and regulate one's cycle. I also take my regular prenantals, folic acid, and DHA supplements. Post-OV, I eat pineapple (with core) for the added Bromelain which reduces inflammation in the body, including in the uterus, and slightly thins the blood which is said to aid in implantation (similar to Aspirin therapy). I believe, since the bone broth has been the only change I have implemented in the last 60 or so days, it may be the catalyst for my follicular phase increase the last 2 cycles. I'm really hoping for good things this cycle ... but, hey, if it doesn't happen, we have our RE appt on the 5th, so there is always that.

@paranundrum: How are you holding up? Is everything well?
@Sams Mom: Where are you hiding, lady?
@Yellowbeach:

Update: Afternoon OPK confirmed LH surge for CD 10. Very exciting. Now, just got to get DH to come home from work, DS to take a nap, and DD over to her friend's house for a bit ... ๐คฃ
-
@Kaohinani: ok, maybe my complaining made my body listen, opk is finally darker, but still not positive. Ewcm is still there, but not a lot, hopefully positive opk tonight!
-
@Kaohinani: Not much happening over here in my corner. Today I upped my estrogen from once a day to twice a day. I have an US on Wed to take a look at my ovaries and my lining. I think Wed we should have a better sense if Dec 3 will in fact be our transfer date vs +/- a day.
I did just book the three of us a 2 night stay at a cabin in the mountains to rest after our FET. DH is still bummed we can't go do something more exciting, but I think this looks pretty cool. Did I mention they have an optional bounce house rental, too?
-
@LAZB: That is awesome news!
Fingers crossed for a POS OPK tonight! ๐ค
If you do, we are on the same cycle again.@Yellowbeach: For nothing to update, that was a great update!
-
@Kaohinani: still alive over here. Not much going on on my front. I just took my first opk of the cycle and not even close to positive (not surprised). I am worried that fertile week is falling on house full of company week ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
-
@Sams Mom: Oh, no!!!!!! BD-ing with company in town is such a PITA to do!
-
Double post
-
Not an ideal background
-
@Sams Mom: G (my DS) wears those same training pants.
-
@Kaohinani: I tried them out because of you! This is our first month using them, and I think I'll stick with them.
-
@Sams Mom:
-
Eek
-
Can't decide if it's positive or just really close. Hopefully it will be blazing tomorrow and I won't have to question it!
-
@LAZB: man Iโd say thatโs like 99% if not
-
@Kaohinani: thanks for the tips and yay for a positive OPK!! Where do you find bone broth?
@Yellowbeach: that cabin looks amazing! Is it in Tennessee? Mountain trips are my favorite.
@Lazb: itโs so hard for me to read these too, but Iโd say you are pretty close!
-
@yellowbeach: that is a whole lot of scary/exciting potential in a short time frame, ahhhhhh
@LAZB: I think you're almost there, like if you test in the morning and it's a little lighter, you likely surged overnight, or you'll get a blazing positive tomorrow.
-
@Kaohinani: I'm well, thanks for asking! I don't usually get online much during the weekend.
I think ov was yesterday, I had a positive OPK on Saturday and a small temp rise today. I'll update when FF confirms.
I think we got our bases covered as much as we were able.I had a quiet weekend in, I have more concerts coming next weekend so I rested as much as I could. Accomplishments over the weekend: one and a half socks knitted and about nine episodes of Downton Abbey watched.
-
@paranundrum: I LOVE Downton! Annnnnnd they're making a movie
-
@Sams Mom: Yes please! I didn't know that.
I love it too. That and Call the Midwife. And Miranda. And Outlander. And probably a fair few others I can't think of right now. -
Finally got a positive thank goodness
-
@paranundrum: I haven't heard of Miranda, but I love love love Outlander and Call the Midwife! Also Poldark and Grantchester
-
@LAZB: hooray! It was slow to turn.
-
I don't know why I'm joining since I have been TTC so long with no luck but what the heck...
Cycle Day: 6 dpo
TTC Cycle: over 2 years with 3 losses... but I haven't been pregnant in a year and a half
Ovulation Date: guessing 11/13
POAS Date: I wait for my period now. I spent way too much money on tests in the past!
Baby #: 2 -
@mrskansas: welcome! Sometimes I wonder why I still do the POAS boards too, but I feel so much better when I do and less consumed/crazy.
I wish you the best of luck this month.

This is going to bite me in the ass... But my ovaries still don't hurt ๐คทโโ๏ธ
My boobs hurt (which I told my sister that while on the phone in the car and my 2 year old repeated "boobies hurt" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ)
Joint pain
Muscle fatigue
Headache
Carpal Tunnel-y ness
BloatedAnd here is a new one, left shoulder pain on are off since last night. It could be totally unrelated, but I'm throwing it on the list
-
@Sams Mom: I think I have your swollen/sore ovaries this month, ouch!
-
@LAZB: I feel for you! And I spoke too soon, because they're starting to feel like puffer fish
-
Good morning. I apologize for being so absent yesterday. It appears so much happened that I missed. Please, I hope no one thinks that I was avoiding the board.
Yesterday began spectacularly including early morning BD-ingAffixed pic = lovely temporal/forehead "lump" I am sporting. Gorgeous, eh?
-
@Kaohinani: oh my goodness, you poor thing! I didn't realize you dealt with seizures too, you go through so much! Hope you don't have a UTI!
-
@LAZB: I AM a mess.
-
@Kaohinani: eek I hate that you had a breakthrough seizure but am glad you are ok.
-
@Kaohinani: Holy crap lady! All I can say is I hope things slow down for you to help alleviate the stress you have right now. I'm glad you're ok too!

All meant in good fun.
