@Littlebit: so far each unsuccessful month i've tried to find something different to add to the mix. This month I ordered this tea and it actually tastes soo good! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AJPXKU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Month before I tried Smep and although it didnt work, I think the whole concept works because it keeps sperm new and healthy!
-
@Littlebit: For me, time just flies by... Am I frustrated at times, I just try and find something to look forward to. We're going to AZ next month and I wouldn't be able to do a Jeep tour pregnant. Well, now I can! So that's what I'm looking forward to now
ETA: Also, I find things TO look forward to in the meantime, if we're not pregnant... If we're not pregnant by this spring, we're going to visits friends in London. If we're not pregnant by next fall, we're going to Oktoberfest. So if we're still TTC then, at least I have something else fun to do!
-
@Littlebit: Oh man, I get so frustrated. But I just remind myself that, to a large degree, it's out of my control! I have been working on learning to accept what "is," and be patient. Now that we have officially been trying for a year (and I don't even feel like my fertility issues are that serious!!) it's getting harder to stay zen about it, but I'm trying. A big thing is that I stopped waiting to do things and planning around some idea of when I'll be pregnant. That way I'm not resentful when I miss things I actually really wanted to do! I remind myself that life shouldn't stop just because of TTC.
-
@Littlebit: Wine, soft cheese, looking forward to snowboarding this winter
I try (sometimes successfully and sometimes not) to keep a positive attitude by practicing gratitude (there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for). Yoga has been good for making time for myself and being present without letting my mind wander. But it's really hard...especially when it seems like *everyone* around you is getting pregnant... and it does help to remind myself that 6 months to 1 year is normal (and there are probably other couples around me struggling too, but rarely does anyone come out and say it). Hugs little lady -
@NorCalWayfarer: Ooh, yes, snowboarding!! I'm a skier but still. If I'm able to this winter, I'm definitely taking FULL advantage of it because I didn't this past winter.
-
Still nothing- 2 days late but bfn
-
@Claire.Peonies: Ooooh... This sounds promising!!! FX!
-
@Claire.Peonies: I'm sorry, that must be so frustrating not knowing
Hoping for a late BFP for you!
-
@Claire.Peonies: same here lady! I didn't even cramp today like I did yesterday but I feel so tired like I do when AF is about to come. I tested when I got home and got a stark white negative.
-
@LindsayInNY: thanks! I hope so!
-
@Boopers: fx for you! did you ovulate late as well? Maybe late implantation?
-
@Claire.Peonies: I'm guessing I had to have ovulated late because of the b complex, but I don't know when it actually happened. I woke up and still nothing.
-
This was my first month NTNP, and I was concerned AF wouldn't return (I started BC in college because I didn't get AF for 3+ months). Well, she showed up this morning on CD 26. A little bummed my cycle wasn't longer, but also really glad to know AF is still around. Not exactly sure when/if we'll officially move from NTNP to TTC, but glad to know I am in the game. Just needed to share with someone. Not many people IRL know we're not preventing.
GL everyone! Hope mine is the last AF to show in October!!
-
@ABCmrs: Boo for AF but yea for silver lining!
-
@Boopers: What a frustrating waiting game! Praying for answer for you soon.
-
@Boopers: I would try first thing in the morning. Perhaps you drank too much water and diluted the results?
@Claire.Peonies: Have you tested? -
@NorCalWayfarer: @ShayNanigans: @LindsayInNY: @Lugrey508: Thanks for the suggestions! I'm feeling a lot better about it already. I think I'm going to try preseed this coming up month. I barely had any CM this month, and absolutely no EWCM..so maybe this will help?
Silver lining is that I'm going to Playa del Carmen in 9 days to an all-inclusive resort...so I'll be able to indulge in alcohol! And possibly do some excursions I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.
-
@Littlebit: My best friend was going to have a destination wedding there and last minute changed her mind. It looks amazing, I wish I was there laying in that crystal clear water right now!
-
@Littlebit: I added PreSeed last cycle. Not sure if that was the trick for the BFP or not though.
-
@Littlebit: Yay!!! That sounds fun.
I love how positive this thread is! I fel like November is going to be a GREAT month!
-
@LindsayInNY: You are my preseed inspiration!
At this point it can't hurt...especially with my lack of fertile CM every month.@littlek: I hope so! October had so many testers this month, but not very many BFP's..hopefully November will be everyone's lucky month.
-
@Lugrey508: We went once before to a different resort for our honeymoon...it's beautiful! We are so so so excited to go back!
-
@Littlebit: Maybe the beautiful scenery and relaxed atmosphere will be just what you need for some baby making magic
-
Any update from @Sophia?
-
@littlek: I like to think the stats so far imply that not only should we have a good end of Oct for BFPs but also a great number in November!
-
I didn't get a chance to test this morning and today I have parent teacher conferences after school which makes for a long and exhausting work day! If AF doesn't show up some time today I'll test again tomorrow with FMU.
-
@Boopers: good luck!!!
-
@Littlebit: I used preseed last cycle and have just started taking evening primrose oil for this cycle (as well as using preseed closer to O)! I guess I can't say for sure it's working yet...
I get lots of CM anyway, I have creamy almost every day before and after AF. But the eggwhite only came once about five days before O day. Then we were started TTC, I didn't see eggwhite at all! So that's why I started this regiment, haha.
I'm loving the positive November talk! Hoping for good news for many of us then!
-
Hey all - just closing the loop on me - officially a rollover for November. Took another test this morning (bfn) and AF arrived a few hours later. Is it sad to say that at this point I am just relieved? 37 day cycle is super random and annoying and I am just happy to be on CD 1 for a fresh start.
-
Checking in since today was supposed to be my test day. I haven't tested since Monday, which I thought was 12dpo. My temp dropped to just above coverline this morning, but no AF. I might have my O date wrong! Will loop back when I have a definitive answer!
-
@Boopers: nothing for me yet either! This is frustrating- thinking I ovulated late as we'll. fx for us both!
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Seems perfectly reasonable to be relieved! I think a fresh start is definitely welcomed! High-five to my fellow CD1-er!
-
@ABCmrs: Hive-fives back atcha
FX that this upcoming month is the magic month for both of us!
-
@Mrs. Confetti: I'll see you in November, too!
-
@Littlebit: That was my thought - it definitely couldn't hurt! And, truthfully, it made all the frequent BDing a bit easier
I just bought some more since each box only comes with 9 applicators.
-
FMU and negative.
-
@Boopers: Sorry to hear that
-
@Boopers: I'm sorry.
DH had to go ahead and hide our HPT. I apparantly have no self control. LOL.
