Ew and bsf.....I remember the guru on IG telling me in all caps to NOT mix bs and ew, that it does something funny to the mixture and makes the sperms heads explode. I was like WHAAAA???? But, you can mix preseed and bs for sure. 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.

Hey lady.....I am so sorry your body is not cooperating....I know how frustrating it is, especially after a m/c. I am feeling rather whatever about ttc again myself. I think we are going to try for 3 months, then give up after that. 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.

Hi All, Hope you are all doing well ..I've been away for a few days..I am really not feeling well. After all the hard work I done since my m/c in March, I can't even O anymore so I can't make an attempt. I'm on CD 36 and no sign of O. And after everything I've been through since I started swaying we decided no more ttc for us. I don't know If I will try again, but for right now I am just sad for everything I did, it went for nothing. I got so fat from the diet I spent a lot of money for nothing. I can't keep doing this anymore

I'm so sorry MFC!!

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).

Which ones have hormones you are looking to stop. I don't think any of my supps do except maybe fertilecm

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?

[iluvmyman]

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.

[cemas]

iluv i am stopping royal jelly, dhea, pycnogenol . Will just do FA, fish oil,zinc and potassium.

begonia, will be trying in june same as you....
