Minus 2 days of very light test lines w/ 2nd Morning Urine only.

We dtd the dance last night but I'm calling it. This sucks!! I feel like I've wasted several months of ttc w/ these supps when I would've been better off on my own. DH told me yes in the beginning of March.

I take folic acid, zinc, B12, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, green tea extract and fertilecm, mucinex, URAL. I'm thinking about cutting out the fertilecm and anything else do you think like Green tea? I'm so dissapointed and this is total BS. I shouldn't have messed with what wasn't broken. :( I haven't been happy with the CM i've gotten for several cycles anyway.

What do you think? I really wanted to be pregnant by now. I'm gonna be nowhere near the time I gave birth to DS2.

I so wish I had the right advice to help you but I don't =( I am praying for you that your body gets a good clean out once this af leaves and next cycle will be "it" xoxoxo

Last night I was 6.6 so it seems this flu has not affected me after all!

Thanks for lifting my spirits about this ex baby thing. I think you gals are right, I just want to see something NOT go right for them, but that is a really crappy karma thing on my part. And they probably have a terrible marriage, I cannot imagine any woman being happy with him, he is a miserable crazy-maker. I literally almost went totally crazy until I finally realized that if I stayed with him, it would only be a matter of years before I was completely depressed and an alcoholic or something....and I didn't want that for my baby girls either, so I split. Anyway, he just continually jabs me at every opportunity. My current DH wants to SLAY him, but I tell him it's my battle and he didn't sign up for that, just for me and the girls when we got married.

Anywhoooooo......ok, SEX topic again......TTC5, I wish my DH wanted to do that. I am actually having a hard time getting him to try new things. I am afraid to damage his ego for many reasons, but I have told him that he needs to step it up in learning how to make me O. I used to do what Spicy did with others pre-DH (and even ex-DH) where while dtd, either he or I would help myself out. But current DH doesn't know, I don't think he's had a woman be like, "Ok, buddy, here's the deal, SOMEONE has to work this thing here or I'm not happy." Once he's back in town, we are going to work on this, because with ttc for the last 9 months and all, our sex life has not progressed like it should. I may go to the sex toy store after work and see what they have that might be enticing. But this is the only way we can make things more spicy, is to communicate and try new stuff, so I say go for it TTC5 and just don't be inhibited, it will probably be AMAZING!

Iluv, girl, I would post a thread on the ttc forum here about your bleeding in hopes that Atomic will answer.....I don't think it's possible to have AF 2 weeks early, but I don't know.....that makes me a little worried for you. You know, if you recall from her threads, she was pg with twins and lost one, which she thought was AF, then thought she was back to square one when the other twin was still doing well. I know you said you had a negative hpt, so that is likely not the case, but do post your issue because the collective wisdom on this site will definitely help!

TTC5, so sorry you are sick! I would not hesitate at all to do the vapor rub and steam. I don't know if you plan to still attempt this month in lieu of being sick, but if you do, just don't take any cold meds that dry you up! I REALLY don't put much stock in ions and moon phase and all that stuff, because like 3pnb, I would have boys. I don't disregard it completely, like, it makes me happy when it lines up for a boy now when we attempt, but I don't hold off because of it. I hope you feel better, hun! How's your momma?

---

No cold meds just some vicks rub and paracetamol for the pain. I am toughing this out big time and I feel like death warmed up =(
My Mum is ok thanks for asking, they are still in the safe shelter it is hard but things have to get better, right?

Iluv. sorry to hear u are having issues. I was having bleeding every two weeks for a bit and my Ob said it was either stress or my body adjusting from my loss and d&c. It sucks when things dont go as planned. Hope your
dr gives you some answers.

who is in tww??

That cramping could be a good sign too!

Maybe this will start the positive vibe. The past few weeks were the scariest weeks of my life. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling good. I had all kinds of blood work done, and then my Doctor feels my left breast and he finds a lump. He asks me if I had a mammogram before, I say no. He said do you have family history of Breast cancer. I said yes, 3 aunts have passed, my grandma and great grandma. He ordered and immediate mammogram. I am 29, apparently the youngest mammogram done in my doctors office ever. I waited 2 weeks for my result, when it came back negative I was obviously so happy. But I can still go in for genetic testing, they can find out if I am a carrier of the gene and I have options if I want. But What and eye opener at 29. I am very thankful for my life right now and what I have. Hugs to you all. xxoo

Gosh what a scare that would have been! xx

Looking forward to snuggling with her for a couple of weeks then I will get back to personals and keep up with you lovely ladies. Hopefully lots of blue bfp's coming :D

Lovely to hear from you Skrimpy and Congrats!!

AFM: Still sick but not taking any cold medication, CD 9 so tomorrow we start our cut off!!! Getting close now guys ;)
My temps seem to be dropping heaps do you think this is ok???

You ladies are very quiet today or is it the time zone difference?

I'll be logging off soon too. Maybe everyone is heading off for memorial day weekend plans?

Sorry to sound so rude, but what is memorial day?

I cheated and copy and pasted this. :)

Memorial Day is a day for remembering and honoring military personnel who died in the service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. While those who died are also remembered

Most people in the states have Monday off for Memorial Day so it's a 3 day weekend.

I'm only quiet because I am filling my brain up. Trying to get all prepared for September!!! LOL!!

We aren't doing anything for memorial day! staying home BBqing and hanging out! Taking our daughter to gymnastics tomorrow Family day!!

My DH wouldn't let me go on my girls weekend so I decided to torture him by my sister and her 3 kids coming here for over a week. :) Not sure what we'll actually do for Memorial Day. It should be fun just a lot of people in a small space.

OK, on reserve battery power on the laptop, good night.

Night Night Iluv xx

Had to babysit for a friend last night and have been soo busy:) but I have caught up on the thread , and just had to say

ILUV- man you just can't catch a break ATM :( I really wish I had some good advice to offer but sadly i can't understand what is going on either it is def very strange! FX this is just a BLIP and it settles next cycle.

MFC- Thanks for the encouragement re my PH ! As a newbie I am still getting excited about the little things LOL

TTC5- Soo excited for you ......getting so close to your attempt now- You are doing so well not taking anything for your cold- I am sick and have had to take some stuff (but luckily our attempt isn't till next month!)

I also just wanted to ask if anyone knows much about the antibiotics/ ph stuff I know it raises ph but for how long after??

Gotta go fill my pill container for the week - yay this will be week 5 taking the supplements :)

I am logging off for a
few days girls. We have the burial for our son today so is going to be a rough weekend.
Good luck to everyone in tww.

Big hug to you Princess, e-mail me if you need/want to.

Cheekymoo and tink - I love having newbies here, takes the edge off some of us seasoned swayers. Not to be a bummer but it gets really hard especially with losses.

Haircuts and grocery shopping today, mmmmm meat lol

Thanks 3pink. I feel out of the loop trying to get to know everyone's stories and I also feel a bit selfish coming on giving my "here's what I need" But everyone so far has been so amazing. Even though ILUV's struggles she has already been so amazing offering such great advice to me, as well as TTC5! I only hope i can offer something in return sometime in the near future. I have only been on here for a short time so I am doing my best to learn and get to know everyone. I really hope June brings better luck to everyone.

and as I'm sure as everyone feels Atomic's info is incredible!

PRINCESS, my heart goes out to you and your family. I wish you peace and strength to get thought this difficult time. lots of hugs your way.

everyone else...as I am getting to know you..please feel free to PM with a little bit of info! I would love to get caught up!

XOXO

I love the support here..it makes me smile!

Tink - Most of us started on another site where you got chastised for asking questions and never really got solid answers from the mods so I think it's made all of us extra helpful because of it. It's a lot of info to sort through so feel free to ask away.

So went to the salon to have all of us cut by our regular lady, we've been going there for 6+ years so we pretty much know everyone. I haven't seen one of the ladies for a while and she commented on how big my littlest one has gotten and how it's time to have another one. I politely smiled, she came back with "A boy next time. Aren't you going to have anymore?" Realizing this questioning was not going to end soon I told her about my Oct m/c. I really wanted to answer with "Well I m/c in Oct, nearly died and my poor uterus is still trying to recover from the trauma of my emergency d&c but yes, we are hoping for one more" just to make her feel like sh*t for pushing but my kids were there and I know she didn't deserve it. I honestly never thought I'd be not pregnant long enough for harassment, I really miss my ohw status :sad:

On the plus side my buddy's son told me I look pretty today (she curled my hair). He's almost 11, I kissed him for his sweetness:kiss:

I would have made her feel like shit. People can be so thoughtless. Honestly. I have no shame. I am not a pushy person, but you tweak me the wrong way I can snap. I am Italian and I have 3 older brothers I raised to defend myself when needed.

I came over here from IG as well. I didn't spend much time over there. We thought were going to TTC around Jan of this year but called it off due to my cousins wedding in Oct. I am the maid of honor. She is like a sister to me, I really didn't want to be hugely pregnant at her wedding. I wanted to enjoy all the fun stuff. Not that I couldn't being pregnant, but you get what I mean. Plus around Jan when we thought we were ready my DH and I really weren't. We were really enjoying our daughter and It just being the 3 of us. Now that she is 2 we are really having the fever so it feels good to be where we are. I like that we are ready at our terms and not because "society says so" I like this group so much better then IG anyway. It's so mellow and so supportive. I am really into supportive women. I have a group of women I still keep in contact with from my pregnancy over 2 years ago with my daughter, there is like 25 of us. We still chat on our forum almost daily! Still send each other gifts, cards all kids of stuff. And we facebook. LOL, they are amazing. I told them I am getting ready to TTC and my mail box has been so full.

How fun about being in the salon, that is my line of work, I am a makeup artist! I bet you look beautiful today!!

Tink - I may have snapped but my kids were there. Brief story for you new ladies. I was 13 wks exactly and woke up because my water broke, went to the bathroom and had just started bleeding. 1 1/2 hrs later I blacked out the first time, then the second, then the third. I was rushed to the ER with a blood pressure just high enough to keep me out of a coma. U/s determined my uterus was empty but some tissue remained that was causing the excessive bleeding. While waiting for my d&c I blacked out again, dh thought I was dying. I was put under fully for the d&c because if they couldn't stop the bleeding they would need to preform a hysterectomy to save my life. My girls only know I went to the hospital because I lost the baby, if I have my way they will never know more then that.

On a lighter note I too have a group of women I met while preg with my little one, 4 1/2 years later I've met 2 of them and still exchange christmas cards. I love these kinds of bonds.

Thinking of you all xoxoxoxo

OK CD 10, still quite dry CM but noticed today after a BM I had some discharge of brown?? OPK's are - so would not be that... I have however been having 1-3 O's a day the last few days (trying to raise my pH before O!!) perhaps it is from AF being expelled from that???? I don't often O so maybe I have never really had this before as my body has never had the chance to really push the last bits out iykwim??? :S

Baking soda finger.. did I use too much? It doesnt burn badly but does a tiny little bit.. not on the cervix more on the inside/vulva area??

ILUV- I would have to say YES to that- although not having done it yet myself what do I know??? :) But I thought it wasn't supposed to burn - unless it touched your cervix- mabye the other girls can shed alittle more light on that? :) Just wanted to ask TTC5 when do you think 'o' day will be? CD 14? I am getting excited counting down the days for you ! LOL

I am hoping so! Last cycle I got + OPK on CD 12, cycle before was CD 15 and before that was CD 13/14.

Getting excited for you TTC5!

I wish I could keep up with everyone on here!

Thanks Bec!!!

Ladies have started our JUNE thread, good by MAY and lets bring in lots of positive sticky blue dust for all!
http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...9384#post39384

Yes you either over did it or are doing it too much. You can dry everything out and it begins to sort of tingle. Keep it to 2-3 x a day and and you'll be good.

Congrats Skrimpy on your baby girl!

Have we officially moved to June yet?

Ok guys, I am on CD11- and got a nice ph 7 ewcm glob and things are moving (keep up with the diet- the first 8 weeks my ph was low and then it started getting higher with ewcm near O).

My digi smileys :happy: are starting their fade in pattern and I think I might get a smiley either tomorrow morning or 6pm tomorrow and I NEED YOUR ADVICE:

If I get a pos digi tomorrow morning, I will dtd tomorrow night- easy.:fingers:

If I get a pos digi at 6pm, I need your help. Hubby is going for an interview in another city and has to be up at 430 am the day after the pos OPK, so we can't dtd in the morning. He can't perform under pressure. He won't be home until 3-4pm that day.

So, I can either:

a. Dtd that night- around 11pm- 5 hours after pos OPK (4 days abstinence)

OR

b. DTD the next day around 3-4 pm- 22 hours past pos OPK :thumbsdown: (5 days abstinence)

What would you do?

:pray:


And just for fun, I really like this emoticon:

:nyd: (no you didn't)

How much is on your finger? Are you just touching the baking soda or are you scooping and stuffing a ton in?

And lol sounds like I'm stuffing a turkey lol

You're probably fine but maybe this is a sign that this just isn't the thing for you.

Do you think? Even if it is brown could it be left over from af?

But, I am a little freaked of the Atkins now that I saw Atomic say it can sway girl because of the low blood sugar issues. I think I'm just gonna keep up with my Metabolife and tiny appetite this month and see how it turns out. I'll even take a 5 lb loss, better than nothing. Are you going to the dr anytime about your cycle or just seeing what happens? I'm so sorry, hun, that is very irritating.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrr

I think maybe the L'Arg messed up my cycle, but I also think it might be from the m/c ..I am really not sure. I'm trying to see my Dr asap. I am not going on a diet to lose weight I am just not eating as much as I used to, LOL. I lost a lot of weight last year before doing the boy diet all I did is I didn't eat much and I don't eat after 6 PM. I'll even take 5lbs loss I agree better than nothing.
