Hellobee Boards

I noticed some of you are taking extra Zinc, now I'm curious how it can help with conceiving? I'm only taking folic acid now, but I'm going to ad magnesium & vitamin B complex because I've been so tired and stressed. Should I add zinc as well?

I get a little overwhelmed with the POAS threads, but I'm going to try to keep up for July month! I'm not officially out this month yet, but started spotting today, so I'm most likely out.

I'll update when I actually start AF, but for now, here is my chart

Chart link: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/42fd32

@KelLeeLeee Thanks for starting this up!

I'm CD1, cycle #2, baby #1. Likely O date around 6/29-7/01 (while I'm in the Pyrenees, yeah! ), and attempting to wait to POAS until at least 12DPO. Attempting being the key word there.

I'll be temping/charting CM as usual plus trying out OPKs for the first time this go-round.

Hi everyone…I'm joining!

Cycle day: 16

Cycle #: lucky 7

Ovulation & POAS dates: I think O will be today/tmw CD 16/17 and POAS will be July 3!

Baby #: 1

Your game plan this month: BD EOD the entire cycle!, taking prenatals, B6, using pre-seed every once in a while, meditation app at bedtime for relaxation, trying to stay busy to not obsess!

Chart link: I use kindara app and have no idea how to get it as a link but here's a picture of it.

@onthemove: Just saw on the other board that you were "out" for June. Good luck for July!

I'm in.

Cycle: #3

Baby: #1

My cycles have been super long and messed up so I am not sure my O or POAS date. To be announced! LOL. My cycles have been getting shorter (cycle 1 was 52 days, cycle 2 was 44 days), so I am hoping as they get closer to normal, I will get success with a BFP.

@KelLeeLeee: can you move me to July 11 for a POAS date. I just bought my thermometer on amazon along with my opk strips so i think im set for July!

I'm here as a cheerleader!!!

Woohoo! I'm so excited for everyone. I'm tracking my cycle closely this cycle to start trying next month. I used wondfo OPKs last month, but I'm thinking of confirming with a digital this month.

Question: if I get the clear blue digital opks can I use them ONLY when I get a positive or almost positive wondfo to confirm or do you have to use them all cycle long?

@yellowbird: you want the non-advance ones for that purpose, but yeah. CBE makes a kind you can use once or twice

@KelLeeLeee: the doc said it may delay O, but won't necessarily. So I guess we just wait and see. My opk yesterday was darker (but not positive) so I should know soon

But I also realized I've gotten internal u/s twice now right before O. And I'm going to guess that lube is not sperm friendly. So I'm even less hopeful for this month. I don't think I'll be super pushing a ton of BDing. Especially since I've been sick. If it happens it happens. If not, oh well.

I was at the doc for ovarian cysts. Like my last follow up, the cyst they saw then is gone, but now I have a pretty large one on the other side. But since they keep alternating, he thinks it's probably just my "normal." I have over achieving follicles. Or should they be ovary-achieving? (Seriously, why does dh not find me funny??)

@KelLeeLeee: It has been crappy in June. I'm hoping July can be like May! May was super lucky with bfps!

@marym I think ovary-achieving is very funny!!

@KelLeeLeee: I'm cheering you all on, too!

I'm a cheerleader this month as I got the green light to start trying next month. I have a 15 month old now and I've been charting. My cycle came back nine months PP and was pretty regular but then got all crazy after I weaned in March. I've had a long, a normal and a SUPER short cycle since then. My last was 21 days with a 9 day luteal so I'm taking B complex to try to lengthen it. Never had this problem when TTC for #1. I'm guessing it's due to breast-feeding hormones normalizing now. Very excited for everyone TTC this month! Looking for lots of BFP's!!!
