It worked for me, I think?! I'm on CD 36 and no sign of O and I think maybe Larg did that for me, but really mess up my cycle very bad :(

EW's always messy for me. I used the medicine dropper too.

iluvmyman' I hope you get your BFP this time ..Good luck hun.

That's that...Just wanted to say Hi over here! I'm dizzy from all the info!

Welcome and good luck!

Confussed & this happens all the time

I don't know when to O so I always have DH release every 3-4 days. SO wait til tomorrow and see.

Welcome Cemas! Glad to see you!

MFC I'm so sorry :-( I am kinda scared of the L'arg really screwing with things so I'm just going to take it 2-3 times a week.

Babydes I agree with others, DTD now, and then 12-24 hours after the OPK. If you've got some good EWCM I know Atomic says with a +opk or not, that's a good time to have an attempt.

Lola I'm sorry to hear about your dog! I thought at first you said 12 yo DD, and I was REALLY worried about you! Then my brain caught up. That said I adore my dog and know seeing her sick would be awful. Sounds like you have a whole lot on your plate right now lady. Good to see you though!

Hope.ful wait for that +! You'll feel so much better about your attempt I think. FX your fertility works for you this month! I know so many of us are used to one-shot-wonders and it seems swaying has definitely shaken that up a bit.

BTW ladies- bloody CM during O its a good sign it means your ovulating good and strong.

Mucinex vs. Robitussin- I take both. I take the highest dose of Mucinex 1200mg Every 12 hours as it say's on the box. Also I take tussian that has Guaifenesin in it in a liquid form so it will absorb faster during the attempt day.

Lola' I am just like you nothing from last summer clothes can fits me anymore. I am trying to loss some weight right now, What are you doing to loss weight?

Thanks Begonia and MFC....yeah still swaying.....The L-arg did that to me too. i had long cycles of 32 days to beging with and the l-arg made them even longer 40 + so i stopped it. it had the effect for a few months.
This month i am stopping all the supps that mess with hormones and see. The month i got a bfp( m/c) i had stopped all supps as my cycle was 50 +days on soy and somthing worked. So i am doing diet (not very strict though) and bsd etc still.
i did use EW's the month of bfp so yes i will continue with ew's. IG guru told me to do bsf 1 hr before dtd and ew during dtd.(i hr apart for the two).

Now, you guys remember me telling you all that I did ew for 5 months and bfns....BUT what makes me wary is that I also did a bsf, so in essence, I was mixing the two. I think it is very bad advice to do ew and bsf, because you ARE mixing it! I think I was killing all of DH's sperm. Then, the two months we get pg, like bam and bam, it was with preseed and bsf. So, just beware. I think that if you do ew, the ph is so high that you don't need to do a bsf. I would do one or the other. Just beware!

I scoured IG and I can't find them saying anything expect it's OK, including Tamara but maybe that changed since 2008 when it was posted. If it were the case you think they'd have it posted and be in their handbook that was updated in 2010. Augh! I need to decide since I got a +opk a little bit ago. Should attempt tonite then but annoyed my fertile focus didn't show any fernning this morning but opk +. I will check tonight w/ smiley face opk to be sure. I really don't want to take any chances so might just go w/ EW. It's not that I don't believe you Lola just wish I could find in and be sure. I want a BFP this time.

Sorry about the pms, that was another little bit of mourning but positive since it means you s/b ready to ttc again.

The clothes thing is hard. I definitly weigh more than I ever have right now - being prego, and all I have is tighter fitting tops. I hate to buy stuff at this weight and you were right about things to wear during 1st trimester, but I have no idea what to even buy to fit my new body type. I cant go back now and lose this weight till I get a BFP. I don't feel like I eat sooo much that I should have put on this weight but cleary I am.

If you are at wit's end, I think you are making the right decision to let go of it (even if for now, for this year, whatever it may be), and put your focus into something else. I know it's been a while for us, and it does really wear you down to ttc, and to add swaying in there, it really consumes your life. I hope you are doing ok.....pm me if you want....I totally get how you feel. xoxo

Thanks Lola. I'm trying to focus on losing weight.

That's what I did. BSF 1 hr. before attempt and EW's right before attempt. Was more like a 1 1/2 hrs really since it took me a little bit to hit the Big O before attempt.

Gizmo, I wouldn't touch L'Arg if you haven't got time to mess around ... the only reason I tried it was initially we were not going to TTC til October, so I figured I'd just see if it messed with me or not. Some people have no side effects except positive ones from it. I took it last cycle for all of 3 days before AF was due and AF was 2 days late, and I'm never late. Maybe it was coincidence but I'm blaming it anyway :-) The only way to know what it does for you is to try it, but like I said, if you don't have time to kill or if you have a super regular cycle as it is, I'd probably stay away from it. I was thinking I'd take it again b/c it would be more ideal for me to O a few days later this cycle, but I'm kind of afraid of it now so might just let my cycle be.

Anyhow, I do like EPO for me. It upped my CM for sure (though took about 3 cycles to see a real difference) and didn't change my cycle. Honestly now that we're TTC in June I think I am going to drop all the supps but folic acid, my prenatal, and EPO from AF-O. I'll do ASG AF-O too, mucinex 5 days prior and until O, and some BSF but I'm not going to do eggwhites.

I think gelatin is good for raising T! Loads of protein and amino acids. Disgusting though.

YAY for the +OPK iLuv!!! Hope counseling session is good today! Though stress can be good for TTC boy ;-)

Cemas are your cycles back to normal? I remember you taking the soy that month on IG and having the mega cycle. Do you know when your next attempt will be?

OK, got a positive opk at 11 am but maybe the line wasn't darker and I can't tell now since it disappeared so it might be a fade in. Probably will wait till tonight do a smiley face and DTD tonight or in the morning?? I don't like the morning though cuz I don't get to sit w/ hips propped and have to start my day right away. I like the night where it's more leisure and no pressure.
Not sure what to do. waiting till tomorrow night might be too late. It would be really nice if this was more simple.

?

yeah i guess ill just do gelatin, but i dont eat pork and i hope that the bovine gelatine will work the same. no way to tell. from the beginning i have always wanted to do as lless supplements as possible just bc of the messing with cycles stuff. also since ive been charting, im starting to notice patterns and i dont want to mess THAT up and have to reguess and miss my window of O'ing. id rather not mess with my cycle but im assuming since T IS a hormone no matter HOW i try to raise T it WILL mess with it. so then i guess my goal is to not mess withi t TOO much! im assuming raising T in women would delay Ovulation???
and i do see that there have been ppl who took l-arg and gotten bfp-boy. so....we'll see i guess.
thx

:sigh: So, I should've brought the instructions w/ me to work this morning. I had 2 lines this morning at 11 am. I've been testing since CD11 w/ no lines so I was totally excited to have 2 lines this morning (hence my recent post at 11) till I read someone else post that said their test line was lighter than the control line. Oh yeah, dummy, I have to look at the color of the line too. Duh! I had forgot about part and couldn't even retest since once again I didn't have what I needed at work. I should keep a bunch in my bag!

Got home and managed to kill 2 expensive smiley digital opk's (I only had 3). The first one I was a complete moron (I should read the friggin directions monthly) and the 2nd one a couple hours later had an error (probably from the 1st moron move that killed my monitor). I'm scared to waste my pee on another error w/ smiley OPK's (although, once again moron.....I could have peed in my little cup and used both or at least had options)

I took a normal opk right before I started this tall tale and go a big fat nothing in the test line. Not even a faded line. :sigh: Cervix is lower and softer but CM is more but just kinda sticky not EWCM.

I guess I should wait till tomorrow even though I'm kinda horny tonight. I hate to mess this one up!! AUGH, B! I expected smooth sailing this time.....MORON! :)

I'm gonna head to walmart and get another smiley OPK pack and mucinex and some supps I'm running low on.
