I'll see what the next week brings. I mean I cant.imagine I ovulated! I just want to be pregnant already!!!!
I still have light brown spotting. Cd 8 and today is cd 9 had brown cm?
Normal?
It's not unusual. As ovulation approaches you make EWCM that can combine with any leftover old blood and make a little leftover look like a LOT, and/or the cervix gets softer and more easiy injured so a tiny owie you'd never notice otherwise can combine with the EWCM and again, make a small amount of blood seem like more.
ok thanks!!!
so strange that I have light spotting again today. I have never had it this long. its light pink.
We did hace sex last night but I have never spotted after that before.
tmi today

Hmm yes that is pretty peculiar, more heavy than I'd expect for leftovers.
Have you ever been checked for cervical erosion?
no what's that?
Ugh I just want to cry!!!
At this rate ill never get pregnant.it has not been like that anymore yet today but seriously!!
so of course I googled it and it dies seem rather harmless but I wonder if my estrogen is too.high, although I havent had much ewcm.
I feel like such a mess. I will be 43 Thursday and I just want to have one last baby. I know how blessed I am to have 4 amazing and healthy children. I just adore them so. I.dont even really have a gender preference. My 3 DS is the best little guy and I couldnt imagine life without him. I would gladly take more lol
I mean we arent trying well DH isnt but we are having unprotected sex praying for a miracle. I just dont know anymore. Am I being wrong but praying for it. I mean I'm not forcing him.
It is, it's pretty harmless and not a big deal but it can cause some bleeding like that.
My thinking is this: any guy who shows up to have unprotected sex in a committed marital relationship knows what he is getting into and it is ok for us to hope and pray for an oopsie. I do not know what the future holds for you but I think that for some of us, the hoping and praying can eventually transition into us being ok either way. For some of us, that "I still hope this happens one more time" can be a little bit of something to lean on while we work on getting our hearts and heads right in case it doesn't. As long as you don't let that hope and prayer turn into something that takes over your whole life, it is not only fine but even emotionally beneficial to have the dream to lean on.
Of course we are all hoping that we will be celebrating a BFP soon - if you need to keep hoping and praying then keep right on doing that and we are right here if you need us. :heart:
Thanks again Atomic for your kind response.
I do feel the same way about the situation as in he should know. He adores DS 3 sooo much and he was such a peasant surprise.
My midwife suggested I try maca to maybe help regulate my cycles???? I dont know. The spotting seems to have stopped, no true pos opk yet. A few pretty dark ones. Every cycle is just so frustrating.
Yesterday morning I woke up with mastitis so I assume thats why my temp was higher.
It went from 98.0 to 98.8 then to 98.6 today. The days before were usually 98-98.1.
I am V temping as well..Just confused!!
I'm sure that why the temps are higher. Ill see what tomorrow brings!!! Each month im like ok, one more try.....
Im getting tired of all the inconsistencies!! But im also not letting it consume me!
Yep that's how my husband is with Suzy, who was a very much hoped for oopsie - he kept showing up and BD unprotected and I did my sway diet and hoped for the best and that hoping got me through a really dark time. I needed that hoping. It kept me going till I could work some stuff out, yk? If I would have had to go through everything I was going through and then ALSO be dealing with the reality that the door was closed for me, I don't know if I could have. The hoping was very helpful and over time I did come to terms with what the reality was probably going to be a lot sooner than I would have if I would have had to totally rip the band aid off all at once.
And the very last month I planned to try it happened. He ADORES her and honestly, for all our ups and downs (we've had a few) the accidental pregnancy was never one of them.
I am not a fan of maca. It's done a lot of weird stuff to people. BUT that having been said, I'm ok with you giving it a whirl if you'd like (just keep us updated on how it goes). It gives me pause since wasn't it you who had such a bad reaction to the inositol? They're supposed to work very much the same way, but they are different biologically.
Yes I think that is how I feel and the hoping kind of keeps me going in a strange way. I know DH would eventually be ok and I pray for that also. I do get upset when AF arrives and nothing has been normal since my miscarriage and that is very tiring as well. But I am also not up for trying for an extended period of time as I am getting older haha.
I think I tried maca years ago and I didnt like it. I think it may have delayed O or something. DH takes this green superfood powder in the am and it has maca so maybe I will try that. I have never tried instiol (sp)
what else is in the green super food?? A lot of those have ingredients I find questionable safety.
I know its small, can you expand to see. Attachment 41048

nope please don't take those. There are things in there that have serious safety concerns (including some things that have been linked to motor neuron diseases like ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease)
I would seriously consider having your husband stop them s well.
oh gosh really?? Like what?
spirulina and chlorella have been linked to motor neuron diseases (by very reliable sources doing good research) Green tea extract can cause liver damage as can alfalfa when alfalfa is taken in the long term over time. Web MD has alfalfa as "possibly unsafe" for the seeds/sprouts and the leaves are only "possibly safe". Most people eat sprouts now and then but when people take in extract form,t hey can take high amounts for long periods of time and it's not acceptibly safe to do that.
wow that is very interesting, never knew that..I have a friend who takes it daily and swears by it for energy!
I also actually found femera at an online pharmacy....ahhh so tempting!!!
I know there are lots of people who take it. But the thing is that this stuff can get into you and cause problems years down the line and no one ever makes the connection.
Here is Dr. Weil himself telling people not to take spirulina https://www.drweil.com/diet-nutritio...pirulina-safe/
My father in law died of ALS and he was super into taking nutrient supplements, had taken all sorts of things for years. Before he got too sick to talk, that's what he kept saying again and again - "why is this happening to me, I took all my supplements". It was really sad and horrible to wonder if any of them could have caused him harm.
My concern with the Femara is wouldn't you have to tell your hubs about it?? If something went wrong and you needed medical care (rare, but could happen) then he'd need to be in the loop and that seems to be crossing a bridge that is more than just hoping - yk???
Im sorry about your father in law. I do know so many people that take a ton of supplements. A friend actually sent me a video about supps, I havent had a chance to watch but I will. It supposedly says how they are bad for you, but she is also the one who takes the spirulina daily. Sooo......
About the femera... very tempting but... yea, I could not take it and not tell him. SIGH........... but its tempting!! LOL :)
I feel like that would be total deception.
does this look like I ovulated? I think I did but for some.reason I used an opk today and it.looks just about positive to me. And yesterdayn(tmi) I had a big glob pf yellow whitish cm. Very non fertile. Maybe just another surge? I dont know?
What do you think?

I can't tell if you've ovulated based on your OPK, sorry, just not how they work unfortunately. Temps do like you've Oed though.
Thanks, just wanted you to take a quick look.at the temps.
I think I panic if I missed an opportunity not BD.
But then there are.times where I am starting to have peace about the situation, as much as I want.a baby I have to trust God's will.
Oh sorry of course - I get a lot of people wanting me to tell them off their OPK so I drew an unwarranted conclusion.
no its totally fine. I probably didn't post correctly. I was nervous because I thought I ovulated then I took an opk and it looked just about positive so I panicked thinking maybe timing was off so thats why I posted my chart.
So thank you for answering :)
I seem to feel one way, like excited and hopeful and then AF arrives and ruins my peace!! lol
Oh I know - just hang in there and keep telling yourself that whatever is meant to be, will be. Wishing you peace.
