I think I'm going to lose it.
So I THOUGHT I'd O'd early this month, my microscope showed ferning on CD10, but I had zero EWCM which is rare for me. So I blamed it on the l-arginine and thought I would drop it. And I was so sure I had O pains two days ago. But then this morning...TONS of EWCM but no ferning. I guess my cycle is just messed up (my first cycle since my m/c)...maybe an anovulatory cycle? How depressing!
capsules are good, thats what i was taking too.Quote:

I have ~slightly~ more success with the microscope, but you're right, it is confusing. I'm going to check again tonight. Is it possible I haven't O'd yet, but my hormones are all messed up from the m/c last month?Quote:

I had myself stressed out that I wasn't ovulating even though my body was telling me that I was. Regular cycles, the day after EWCM and O cramps stopped my libedo would drop and my boobs would get mild tingling. On my 3rd month I decided to try the clearblue digital OPK just to see if anything would come up on that plus it took the guess work out being a smiling face or blank. I didn't even know I had been stressed until I got the smiling face and I just felt so relieved. Low and behold 2 weeks later my BFP.
So what I am saying is the stress of not getting a +OPK could be working against you too.

I did however and then fell pregnant the following month and DD2 is snow starting school next year.
If it doesn't happen this month (fingers crossed it does though) then you can try next cycle and you may end up with a lovely Libran baby (I have had two and they are divine...:happy:
Thanks Pearl and luvalittle - I'm just frustrated, like luvallittle said, I want to be pregnant RIGHT NOW. I am fairly sure at this point that I didn't O this cycle, although something might happen in the next few days. I'm on CD14 today, but my cycles were usually 24 to 26 days (prior to m/c). I'm not out for sure, DH and I have been BDing, maybe I caught it...will find out soon enough I guess! Can't screw up my courage to get over to the 2WW :)
When did you ladies start taking the wheatgrass capsules and when is the best time to stop?? Where can you get hold of them.. I drank zico coconut water and to my surprise I actually quite liked the taste of it I have to say its not as bad as some juices which make me wanna hurl..
Dn't then, stay here with us!:happy:Quote:

Anchor- I completely understand. We lost our baby in Aug and this is the month I designated as tying again time. But now that it is TOMORROW I am freaking the eff out. I really wanted to be pregnant by Chistmas and definitely by my duedate(Jan.). I was panicking and lost some weight, which would normally be awesome, but now I'm worried I messed up my boy chances. I gained 2 lbs back by overcompensating the last week. So.... I don't know what to do.
If I don't try this month, will the next two break my heart?
I do know that I'm so tired of lemon water! My lips are about to burn up and fall off.
Adoptapom- i know what you mean about being tired of lemon water! at times it feels so frustrating eating and drinking.. and I really hope you get your desired results! wish you best with your attempt!
Dropping in to say hello and wish you all the best of luck!
Hello to all the newbies too!! x x
Good Luck!! Are you a new member or have you had a name change?Quote:

Actually, I'm getting sooooo nervous.
I am doing the following in the next two weeks :
Lots of v8 with gelatin and maca.
Lots of alkaline water with lemon (you can make your own alkaline water by buying spring water from the supermarket and adding a little COT and BSD to it to bring up the PH to about 8.5). I buy 10 litres and add it in and drink it all week.
Fresh juices in between and a big glass of coconut water before bed.
Diet HE. Upping the fruit/veg/meat/bananas/potatoes/tomatoes. Have put on 3kg in the last month through eating lots of good healthy, hearty food and have been conscious of EVERY SINGLE thing i eat.
Am taking maximum doses of :
Fish oil
Wheatgrass caps
Vit D
Royal Jelly
Folic Acid 2500
Bulgarian Tribulus
Have ordered the pre-seed.
Have just bought robitussin home and seen it has saccharin in it!!! Aren't I meant to be avoiding that for a boy sway?
My chemist didn't have mucinex and when I looked online, it was nearly $70!
Anyone have advice on this?
Um...will turn the central air conditioner on the few nights leading up to O, burning Ylang Ylang...think that's all I have in my arsenal.
So what do you think guys?
Would love any final bits of advice, feedback, etc... from anyone.
Praying for an army of :bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm::blues perm::bluesperm::bluesperm::bluesperm:

Thanks Cinss. Most of the time I feel like there's no way this could fail, I've been so disciplined and given it everything. I know even the best sways can not work though so am trying to keep neutral...trying being the operative word.Quote:

I freaked myself out and worked back when I conceived all the girls and they were all under girl moon phases!! Am hoping my next O falls on the 5th Dec (Leo) or the 8th (Libra). In between is a girl sign again...sigh. Did you, or anyone else check back for these? Did it affect you?

luvalittleman, im pretty sure the amount of saccharin in there is not enough to worry about, i do know the capsules dont have it in there if you are worried about it you could swap it.
Yes i did try to follow the moon signs as well as the chineese gender chart but after a while ttc i stopped caring about it because i hit a block of like 7 girl months in a row, i researched it a bit more and found that really there is no science behind it and boys and girls are concieved every day under the same signs.
The logical part of me knows its true - I guess I just want everything that may help to be on my side.Quote:

Looks good luvalittle...one thing, you should only be taking the tribulus from CD5 to O (not while AF is in town). But looks good, prenatals are also good for a boy sway.
I've been taking Mucinex for a few days, and zero cm! I've never had this issue before, but now I'm on all this mc preventing vitamins and there is no mucus hanging around... How long did it take for y'all to see results? I have the pill form, 600mg of guaifenesin twice a day.
I've been taking the opks for the last few days. Today is cd14. Yesterday and today I have a darker line, not positive but darker, but both times the rest of the day I see nothing. This is my first time using opks, and I thought the LH is supposed to show up in the afternoon?
So....I don't understand what is going on?!?
I've never tracked, charted or paid attention to this before. I've gotten pg easily, and didn't want to get all obsessive. But, then we lost our baby and I'm crazy type A obsessive chick now :/
Hi Afy,
I bought the Royal Jelly on a website called Biovea. I couldn't find it anywhere in the bee pollen in australia but don't feel that's going to determine the outcome of my sway so got the one's in a capsule. I'm not sure where you live but my local health food shop has everything on my list so if you have a good one nearby, maybe go in and ask them.
Royal Jelly apparently takes a few months to work so you may want to get onto it sooner rather than later. I started my sway nearly 5 weeks ago so I should be on it 7 weeks before my first attempt in a fortnight.
When are you planning to TTC if you don;t mind me asking?
Thankyou for your kind wishes.
Thanks Anchor, I'd forgotten that about the TT! There's so much to take in so appreciate the reminder :happy:
I wasn't sure whether adding anything else in was just overkill or if there was anything in the prenatals that may sway girl. If they sway boy then I will get some today.
Thankyou!

It is too late to do much about anything now if you are due to ovulate in a day or so. Just google pre-seed provider and go get some fast in case you do pop an egg this month.
If you don't and you push through to next cycle, then you have 4 more weeks to up your fish oil, EPO (which will be good post MC) and green tea (2 a day max).

Name I will check it out sometime
I'm right there with you! AF arrived today! I too am incredibly nervous! (mine's a week early though, so I have to deal with some short luteal phase issues. blah!)
I think your plan looks good. I would maybe add -- having the big O (maybe with the preseed and a little baking soda) a few days before ovulation and the day of your attempt.
Also, about robitussin, you'll need to as Atomic for sure, but if you don't have access to Mucinex, I think it'd be ok. $70 is crazy expensive for it!
How much Vit D are you taking and is it the D3? I was reading some articles that atomic and nuthingbutpink posted and the RDA is way low on vitamin D right now and as long as its D3, its incredibly hard to take too much. I've been taking 6,000IU. There was an article linking increased Vit d3 to increased testosterone.
Speaking of testosterone, are you working out at all? I am trying but find it hard to find time. :( I'm hoping my increased D3 will help!

Thank you cinns.. Yes I'm drinking carrot juice,V8 juice and we cook vegetable currys just finding it hard to squeeze salads in though I will try my best.. And I'm just peeing soooo much like every half hour, keep rushing to the bathroom even after one glass I was never like this before lol and sometimes I just don't feel like drinking due to the constant pissing lol !!!! :worry:
Are you taking other supps that could potentially move your O?
Also, with Mucinex, I just took it once a day and made sure I was drinking a ton of water, I mean a ton, bc it could dry you out if you don't have enough water. It thins out your mucous but you need to make sure you're hydrated.
Oh and the OPKs, it could depend on the brand. Last month, my positive ones were dark (just barely dark as the control line). I was heavily cramping and had ewcm, so I knew it was right.
