TTC Pink February 2014

[Arimethia]

I had a similar issue over Christmas when I got sick but AS told me to rest and get back on the horse when I could I was able to take a week off and get right back to it until our first attempt in January. Unfortunately I haven't exercised since.

I think doing that entire hour every single day just got really frustrating trying to fit it in. That's why I've dropped it for this month, still waiting to hear back from AS if 30 minutes a couple days a week would still be okay or if that would sway boy too much.

Prob best to drop it if its stressing you. I was really really enjoying it. I am gutted x

Coming to join you ladies! I’m thinking this is the cycle we finally TTC. Yay! AF showed up late last night, so I guess I’m at CD1 today. I’ve been on a low cal (weight loss) diet for about 12 months, LE for about 8 months. I had a meltdown over the holidays – too long on the LE diet and too many nice goodies around. Atomic said take a break, so I did. But I jumped back on in January and also have added exercise in better in the last few weeks. Hoping it’s enough! Exercise has been the hardest for me to find time for. I’m trying to do at least 45 mins of cardio most days… some days I get the whole hour and others I get none. And it totally stopped my weight loss. :/ I’ve lost 20 lbs overall since last year, but very little in the last few weeks. Trying to drop a few more pounds before TTC if I can. I’ve been doing Vitex since October and am actually kinda loving it for how it’s calmed my hormones and shortened my periods. This cycle I’m dropping it in favor of Clomid, though. Eek – just a couple more days until I take my first dose! (scanning all the Clomid threads one last time today…) Excited and nervous as I know staying on it for very long is not a good idea. This is it!

And, greeneyes – getting my dh on board has been by far the hardest thing. He is terrible at making decisions, so this has been way too big for him to deal with. He’s still not “Yay, let’s sway!” But he’s more like, “Yeah, I’m to opposed to having a little girl some day.” So, I’m taking that as a let’s go for it. It’s as close as I’m going to get from my non-committal guy. Just hoping he doesn’t chicken out at the last minute.

We are about to try one more time! It has been an 18 month journey for us, as my husband had a vasectomy reversal in June 2012, and after months of a LE Diego and daily exercise for an hour, we discovered he had low testosterone after the surgery. He had been on a heavy dose of vitamins for seven months and clomid for three, hoping to increase the testosterone, and thereby his swimmers. My time available to exercise has been so much less this year, and my diet has been harder to follow, but I'm still trying. Given a sporadic period over the last six months and a desire yo have all the stars in alignment, I am also going to try clomid this cycle and see how it goes. If it doesn't work this time, I am kind of thinking the work to increase my DH's sperm count was unsuccessful. Hmmm. I am crossing my fingers. Oh, and my period started today...

[greeneyes]

Today was my last clomid. The only side effect I've noticed is constipation but then I should be doing the fiber supp anyway. So I started those back up today. I started the rephresh last night too. Things are getting close! I'll start testing with OPKs on cd 12 unless I see ewcm before then.

Oh and things have been rough at work. Very stressful. I called in sick for a "mental health day" to destress a bit!

Glad to know your symptoms weren't too severe, green eyes... Fingers crossed for a successful attempt. I hope your de-stressing day was a success, too!
