@mrs. tictactoe: @Keppa: Congratulations ladies!!

@Keppa: Congratulations!

@septca: I will POAS July 5th if AF hasn't arrived...maybe sooner, correction, probably sooner. Like I have said before I have an addiction to HPTs. As far as working out during the TWW goes, I don't work out during the TWW, but then again I really don't work out on a regular basis so I am not one to listen to on that subject

Little update CD9 still waiting for the O! I will start using my OPKs tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to catch the right time. I haven't had any CM which is odd because usually I have at least something but it is DRY! I am hoping that is not an indication that I won't O this month. Sorry for TMI.

@septca: I'm still waiting to O.... On CD 19!!! Sigh. Another long cycle. But it's been a crazy stressful month for me AND dh, and I wasn't expecting much this cycle. As soon as I know, I'll ask you to add me to the POAS list!

As for exercise, I try to stick to my routine in TWW. But I'll admit I slack a bit in pilates class- especially with the moves on your stomach, actually balancing on your lower abs. Maybe it's just in my head, but it feels like too much pressure on a possible lil bean trying to dig in... You know?

This thread is ON FIRE!!! Can't wait to see who the next graduate is from the 6+ month club.

@septca: I will POAS July 7th. Possibly sooner but first I want to see when I O this month since its my first non breast feeding cycle. I agree that you should keep up your exercise routine. I don't think you will harm a baby and it will help with the stress of it all. I'm sooooo excited for you to POAS and keep this board of positives going!!!

As for me I am doing well over here. I've made it one week on the cleanse and haven't had any real slip ups. Its hard because it doesn't just restrict what you eat but portions are small too. I'm getting used to it though and I've become very creative with my meals. Right now my favorites are quinoa with guacamole and pico de gallo and steel cut gf oats with mixed berries, raw honey, and almond butter mmmm. I'm also loving Amy's curried lentil soup and chia pudding sweetened with dates an coconut shavings.

As far as weaning is concerned I am confused because I have been weaned 3 weeks and initially I had no pain or engorgment or discomfort but since day before yesterday my nipples have been sore beyond belief. I was worried they were gonna get mastitis so I tried to express a little and milk did come out. It was white on the right and clearish color on the left. I have no idea what it means but I'm hoping it won't hurt my chances of getting pregnant this month. I'm upping my vitex and continuing my sage tea, mint tea and Advil until near O. Such a PITA. I am on CD8 today.

So happy and excited about the BFPs on the board. I will admit I am happy for all BFPs but on here and the infertility boards it's especially wonderful and instead of making me feel sad it gives me hope. I hope we see a lot of graduates this summer.

@Keppa: Congrats!!!! yay!

Looks like it's going to be another late ovulation month. I somehow thought I'd be back on a regular schedule now that it's my second cycle post-m/c, but here it's CD17 and no darkening on the OPKs. Hope I don't have to wait until CD25 like last cycle, I am not that patient. Pre-m/c I normally would ovulate on CD15 or 16.

@septca: I never thought I would be able to be free of so many of my favorite things. I miss chocolate and dairy the way you would miss wine. It's hard. I am doing it though and there are some yummy things I can eat. I have to have a shake though for dinner every night using their hemp protein shake mix. I have that and tea. I miss real dinners! But it's only for a month and I'm hoping when it ends I will have learned how to eat in a new way and be able to incorporate these habits with sensible balance of indungences. Another nice this about it is its mind an body so I've been meditating, taking organic salt soaks and using a body brush everyday. Movement is huge. It's been great for taking my mind off the TTC obsession a bit which I really need.

@PawPrints: I hope you O soon! It can sneak up on you fast. Good luck! Vitex may help balance your hormones sooner of you realize your cycle is wonky.

@septca: I don't have any issues with working out during the TWW. I always think about ALL the girls who get pregnant under very undesirable circumstances. I just can't think working out would hurt our chances unless we were anorexic ballerinas. But I still try to lay still for at least 15 minutes or so after BDing. And I'm devastated when I go pee within an hour after BDing. WTF is wrong with me??

@septca: Soooo I ordered softcups. A 12 pack for $4.98. But, I can't bring myself to use them. Leaving it in my hooha for 12hrs sounds like an infection. And then I read Google horror stories of spillage, and am a little intimidated to be honest!

@MrsMcD: Yes!!! And they're not charting, doing fertility acupuncture, and eating pineapple core the days post ovulation!!!

Temp up today, so probably ovulated yesterday. If that holds true, 6/29 would be 14DPO. I might get tempted to POAS early.
