March 2ww

[maidentomother]

I agree with what XX said about the moon

I finally got some jizz today, yay! I also have an appointment with an RE on March 18th, which will be around CD3 if I don't conceive this cycle. Plus it's the day between DF's bday and mine, kinda funny. Apparently they will do a full blood work up and SA and maybe an HSG once they hear about my EP. And everything is covered by my insurance except DF's stuff (he doesn't have German insurance).

I called another clinic first and they didn't have an appointment until August!!! So I was very happy to find an earlier appointment elsewhere.

XX, I'm sorry AF came. And pretty surprised actually. *hugs* Enjoy your cheat day'

Maiden, was that an attempt I saw in your chart? I sure hope so cause that rise looks like you o'd yesterday like you thought you would!

I wanted to share a great book I read, for any of you going through problems--including you maiden, with your concerns about your lining. Its called the infertiklity cure by randine lewis. she is an acupuncturist and does tcm. in it, she shows you specific acupressure points to use for various fertility problems (including short periods and early O, among many other things) and she lists herbs you can take to correct these problems or what to get your acupuncturist to treat, as well as dietary and exercise suggestions for each condition. I have had a lot of success with acupuncture, I would be doing it now but I moved to a small town in the Rockies and there are none here, I'd have to go for a 3 hour trip each treatment to access someone.

In the book, she claims to be able to lower fsh naturally and bring women who have stopped cycling early to cycle again. she has also cured fibroids, pcos, and many other problems. she helps a lot of women with recurrent mcs and ivf failures. She says for good lining, your af should be at least 3-4 days and O before day 10 does not let eggs properly mature, which is something I always wondered. I got it on amazon. anyway, just wanted to share what I learned for any interested.

AFM, at the end of this cycle I see a huge change in my life. A huge diet and exercise until I have lost 20 lbs minimum. DH just told me he isn't going to be home for 6 more weeks,and he has been gone for 2 already. I woke up dreaming I found him surrounded by 4 girls all clad in skimpy lingerie and that we were separated and I was trying to get him back--not feeling happy about THAT! I woke up feeling really crappy and depressed. I hate this new life we have been forced into.

GL to all of you on cd 1/2 who are starting a new cycle!

Maiden, so happy top hear that! On both counts lol! that is great news, but hopefully you will get your birthday baby and wont need the re

[maidentomother]

Thank you! And for the book rec! I'm not into acupuncture but the rest sounds really interesting. And I do like acupressure. I freaking LOVE reflexology.

I definitely haven't Oed yet (thank god), my cervix isn't fertile yet and my OPKs are still light. My cervix is by far my most reliable sign, it goes SHOW at least 3 days before O. So I shouldn't O for at least 4 days. I'm hoping to get 1-2 more attempts in before I O.

That nightmare sounds awful! I wonder if it means you are pg though...fx!

Sweetlily- where in the Rockies? I lived in Parker, Centennial, and Littleton from 2002-2009! Thank you for the book recommendation! I had come across that book when I researched acupuncture for fertility. I think I'll check it out, since I have been doing acupuncture for 2 cycles now. I agree with Maiden, that sounds like a pregnant dream!!

Maiden, you'll be able to have another attempt before you O then, if you're doing BDing every 3 days. I hope you get a birthday BFP!

AFM, I think we will BD every 3 days until after confirmed temp rise. Maybe every 4 days depending on DH's work schedule.

essnce - Your chart looks great!

SweetLily - Must you tempt me to spend more $ to poas? lol Thanks for the tips in the Feb. thread! We're still deciding about classes or not, checked prices with another teacher. Actually I'm trying just using the book this month and seeing if I learn anything, also giving the acupuncture some time to work. That book you recommend sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing! I looked it up, saw my local library has a copy, and just ordered it. I just started up acupuncture treatments again focusing on fertility this time after some cleansing stuff for Lyme last summer.

Maiden - I will most likely o sometime around the 3rd to 5th. Hope your birthday present turns out better than mine!

Fertility Wisdom by Angela Wu looks good as well. While I would love to read these, I think it is best for me to let go and let be. But, if you ladies post interesting info about what you read, that is different [emoji6]. My past desire to control my environment and the outcome of things beyond my control, just exhausts me. While I would love nothing more than to have a sticky BFP and to be pregnant with another child, it needs to happen on its own time. I trust that God and the Universe will bring me my hearts desire when I am ready and the time is right. Until then, I will work on getting rid of the things/habits that no longer serve me, and to be the best that I can be. Yeah, you could say I've taken the Lenten spirit to heart, but I believe that there is a reason for things happening. While I may never know the answer(s), I can only change/work on myself. It feels good! I have changed some pretty deep things that I have needed to for quite some time and the results are amazing! So I'm making room, you could say. We will see what fills up the space soon enough [emoji6]!

May the rest of us TTCing find the peace and strength to obtain your heart's desires [emoji8]!
