@thismustbetheplace: Thanks for the advice! I don't plan on going to the doctor for awhile, I had my annual in July and probably wont go back until then. I guess I need to look into some ways to increase my lining in the mean time!

I'm really hoping we have some BFP's to finish the month off! We need some good news around here
I just ordered TCOYF (I probably should have read this sooner..oops), Preseed, and some raspberry leaf capsules. I am determined to make month 5 my month!
-
@Littlebit: what are the raspberry leaf capsules for?
Edit: nm saw your other thread. Good luck w them and do report back! I'd be interested to know if they help w the lining issue.
-
@NorCalWayfarer: I've read that it increases uterine lining. Who knows if it's true or not, but I figure $6ish for 100 pills wont break the bank and could possibly help?
ETA: Whoops! Just missed your update. I'll definitely let you know how it works out!
-
@ABCmrs: still no AF and tested negative this morning. I think I'm going to go and buy a different test tonight and test tomorrow if AF doesn't show. I'm feeling very frustrated!
-
@Boopers: nothing yet for me either but I am too chicken to test.
-
TMI...I think the universe is playing a sick joke on me. After having super light periods the past two months, and a super light day yesterday, and after I freaked out convinced my lining was too thin, I bought raspberry leaf capsules (THIS MORNING). I just went to the bathroom for the first time this morning...I leaked through my tampon, onto my underwear, and my jeans. Grrrrrr!
That's what I get for freaking out! I'm happy my period is back to normal (it appears) but man, I am not looking forward to scrubbing my clothes.
-
@Boopers: @Claire.Peonies: I'm rooting for you both! *\o/*
-
@Littlebit: Boo.. that's the worst.. I have had that happen a few times where I think AF is so light and possibly gone.. and BANG.. she's back.. she really is a b**tch
-
@Claire.Peonies: @Boopers: What cycle day are you guys?
-
@Claire.Peonies: Supposedly the HPT you are using are supposed to be amazing.. I had no idea what it was until I saw it on FF
-
@littlek: I'm CD 36 or 37 now. Usually around 32-33 days. Yikes. Nervous! I got that HPT from the clinic I work at.....
They are good- so that's why I don't know what to make of that evap line- I should just retake it- but I'm too nervous!
-
@Claire.Peonies: I'd aim for tomorrow morning. You should be 10 DPO right?
-
@littlek: yep! It should be accurate by then- right? If it is a BFN I can assume I'm out and enjoy some wine? This is putting a serious cramp on my day and weekend- haha. Have a retreat where there are several already pregnant people- watching me like a hawk- all suspicious that I am too. I don't want to be pathetically turning down a drink or two If I am not even pregnant!
-
@Claire.Peonies: 10DPO is still really early to test so I wouldn't count yourself out even if you don't get a BFP then. I'm a drink til it's pink person so I'd probably still have a glass of wine, but that's just me
-
@Claire.Peonies: Ditto. 10DPO is still early. I don't really drink during the second half of the TWW because DH is all crazy about it. BUT, if you're cool with it, I would test tomorrow morning and if you're able to drink, maybe have one or two but nurse them?
-
@Claire.Peonies: I agree with @NorCalWayfarer, drink till it's pink. But that's just me.
-
Another negative today, but I'm still early. I'm using wondfos and when I see a faint line on those, then I do a FRER and then a digital. I'm so impatient!!!
-
@littlek: today is CD 34. I'm usually 26-27 days without b complex. I took b complex last month and it was 29 days. This is way way longer than I'm used to..
-
@mrs. tictactoe: So, have you been seeing lines on wondfos? That's definitely positive!!!
-
@Littlebit: ahh getting blood out of panties/jeans is the worst, but hey, at least she's there in full force! It's like, we don't to see AF's face for soooo many days of the cycle but then once we see a BFN or know she's coming, we wanna know it's her that has arrived! Spotting/light flow can be too confusing!
FX for those of you still waiting/wondering!
-
Hi everyone! I've been off HB for a little while but wanted to update since I was supposed to test today. I stopped charting this month since it was making me crazy and relied on opks. Will have to say we didn't have the best BD storm this month so it's kind of wait and see at this point. I'm on day 29 and will probably wait until Sunday to test if AF doesn't show up tomorrow
-
CD21 here. Just hanging out - trying to figure out when I'd want to break down and test. I've been having ridiculously EWCM for the past two days, along with some cramping yesterday, but still testing negative on opks - so I'm not sure what's up. We're headed away tomorrow (1st night away from LO...), so I'm hoping I feel well enough to have a good time.
Good luck to all those testing this weekend
-
Started to get brown spotting which always happens right before AF. Took a FRER tonight and it was a definite no. I'm just ready for this abnormal cycle to be over. I'm not going to take b complex again- it messed things up way too much. We are going to NTNP the next 2 cycles, so I'll be a cheerleader for a while. Good luck to everyone who is left this month!
-
@Boopers: sorry
-
Is it bad I'm already thinking about my strategy for next month? I think we will go with sperm meets egg. I'm not thrilled with our BD schedule went this month.
-
Is anyone set to start the November thread? If not, I can do it.
-
@littlek: I haven't heard anything about anyone else starting a Nov thread. If it is bad to be coming up with a plan then I am up a creek! I have been googling like crazy to try to come up with a plan for this cycle. We tried to do smep last time but wound up only able to do eod so we will try it again this month. I also didn't have ewcm last month so I am hoping that doesn't happen again but I am trying to decide what to do about it. I also started spotting at 8dpo which seems like bad news but there doesn't seem to be a clear cut solution other than getting a progesterone supplement from my doctor.
This past month was my first full cycle off hormonal birth control, my doctor told me to try for six months and if we weren't pregnant yet she could run some tests, but when I look at my charts from before I have always had this issue of a short luteal phase so what are the chances of it self correcting now? I hate to just throw away six months when there seems to be an easy solution. Ugh, patience is not my strong suit!
-
@littlek: I don't think anyone has offered yet - go for it!
-
@Cole: I have tons of EWCM but I'm awful at timing BD.
I'll go ahead and start the November thread. Anyone have ideas for a fun name for the thread?
-
Has anyone tried acupuncture? My friend did and loves it.
-
@littlek: I haven't tried accupuncture, I am curious about it but I think I will wait a bit before trying it. My insurance is great except when it comes to alternative medicine and then it covers nothing. I love the chiropractor but it gets so pricey!
I thought of a possible getting to know you question for the next thread if you don't have something in mind already. What about asking what people are looking forward to or are planning to do during the month that isn't poas related? Get us to think about something else in addition to the all consuming ttc!
-
@littlek: Totally did the same thing, planned ahead as soon as I felt better!
@Cole: We're in the middle of a SMEP cycle right now, on Day 13 but worried it's gonna be tough to do three days in a row coming up just cause we're not sex everyday kind of people and also I'm not using OPK's this month so we'll have to base my peak off of CM and previous months.
I too have either one day of eggwhite or zero days of it, so I started evening primrose oil this cycle. Like one or two gels a day, I feel like it's getting better? But probably too early to tell!
Oooo fun, a November theme! How about something to do with a filling a cornucopia? They represent abundance and nourishment, and we need an abundance of BFP's in Nov! haha
Or gobble gobble turkey theme? Has that been done?
-
@littlek: little turkey's?
-
@princessandthebee: I haven't looked into evening primrose oil, I will start googling! In the past I didn't have any issues but go figure we start to ttc and it all just disappeared! We aren't every day people either and after a week and a half even eod was getting old! Good luck with this cycle!
Hmm, EPO probably isn't a good choice for me, my luteal phase is too short as it is and apparently it makes a lot of people ovulate late. Thanks for the tip though, it seems like it works for a lot of people!
-
@littlek: baby butterball ?
-
Tested this morning at 13 dpo . Bfn ... I think if my chart was showing triphasic I would have a positive by now but I guess you never know
-
@littlek: no great ideas, but wanted to say I'm excited for the new thread! I'm starting OPKs tomorrow and I'm ready to go all in on November!
Ooh weee, look at those BFPs! Congrats, mamas
