TTC Girl - June 2012

[suregena]

Is it wrong that I want to start taking Cetirizine *NOW*?! Is it bad/good/doesn't matter how long I take it for my sway?

I was going to just take it leading up to expected ovulation... but since the flood in the town, and now with hot/muggy weather... my allergies have been BRUTAL! My eyes are itching, I'm sneezing like crazy, my FACE itches! ARGH! I'm taking one tonight! AGGGH! *sneezes*

I started on CD6 - knowing I would O CD11-13, but I don't think it would hurt to take now...especially if it will make you feel better!

[suregena]

I'm on CD5... so... close enough! :P

I'm on CD5... so... close enough! :P

LOL!!!!!!!It really helps too! I am in the 2WW now and I am sneezing my head off!

[suregena]

I'm on the soy this time, as well... so I need to take it, anyway... to *seriously* keep potential increase of EWCM at bay! I may not ovulate until CD15... to CD24... or maybe even later (God, I hope not)... so I could always take it for now and stop then restart for the attempt, I guess!

ILindGurl- (((hugs))) It's still too early to see anything, plus your bean is growing at the right rate, everything's going to be fine. Try to enjoy your vacation as best you can

Suregena- geez, sorry about the stupid Dr. office test, how disappointing! At least you're on to the next cycle and taking soy. Have you had any side effects? I always took it at bedtime so I didn't feel anything from it.

KraisyDaisy- how are you doing? I started taking some supplements to improve egg health even though they sway blue. Have you ever tried any supps for you or DH? Praying for a BFP for you!

dramabird- ugh- so sorry to hear about the all day m/s. I had it too with all 3 PG, and nothing worked for me. The queasy feeling of the nausea is worse than throwing up because at least if you vomit you can feel better for a few minutes. I hope this passes quickly for you!

LimeRikki- Welcome! I love the names of your kids You will like it here at GD, the ladies here are wonderful and Atomic spends waaay more time than she should helping each and every one of us.


I'm 10 dpo today and not testing until tommorow... a new record for me! I feel so much happier not testing early, I can still hold on to the idea that I have every chance of a BFP!

That's the other weird thing I'm trying to balance. My husband hasn't yet started to FR... we were thinking him start tonight, however if my ovulation date isn't brought forward a little from the soy (and the lack of vitex), then he'll be having to keep on for a while. He can do it... but, yeesh! I think we'll still start frequent BD this time, too, after he's had at least 8-10 releases. I've got 1 rephresh tube I'll use in the middle of all the BDs...

Also, *this* time... I've bought a 20(!) pack of digital clearblue ovulation kits. I am DETERMINED to catch that LH surge this time so I really know what's happening! The cheapies don't work for me (or I don't buy enough and run out far too soon, which is the most likely scenario so maybe I should get some more of those just in case)... I really, really want to catch that LH surge. The worrying if I have/if I haven't business was and is so stressful. I want a clear, non-confusing cycle this time.

Suregena- geez, sorry about the stupid Dr. office test, how disappointing! At least you're on to the next cycle and taking soy. Have you had any side effects? I always took it at bedtime so I didn't feel anything from it.

So far, nothing... unless sleeping like a ROCK the past two nights I've taken it so far counts. I have no idea if that's a coincidence or not. It's been pretty nice, actually... normally I wake many times. Because I've been sleeping a bit more solidly, I've not felt sleepy in the morning. It's really unusual for me. I practically leap out of the bed, ready to get up for work?! What the?! No headaches (so far... CD3, first dose was 100mg, then yesterday was 150mg, and tonight I'm probably doing 150mg again, then the last two nights 200mg... still undecided but think it makes the most sense. I guess!) Don't feel sick. Feel really normal, except for the amazing restful sleep...

Those cheapie OPKs are frustrating for me b/c I always second guess. When you get the smiley OPK, there is no denying it!! Ughh...I hear ya in FR....it can be so difficult and annoying. I was glad to O on CD11 just so I could stop!

[myGirl]

Yes, those cheapie OPKs are a nightmare for me also! I'm so glad you got the smiley face type Suregena. And yay for sleeping better with the soy!

NCBeachyGrl- when will you test? I'll see you over in the June 2ww!
