TTC Girl - February 2012

Sorry about the BFN Suregena. I hope next month won't be so busy for you and you will get a perfectly clear +OPK so you know what is going on!

[Mochagirl]

Sorry about the BFN, suregena. Don't give up hope yet!

[amari]

my gut feeling is that if you're going to do clomid again next month I'd give the vitex a miss this cycle!

I've never done vitex or sp at all. Are you saying you wouldn't start it? I was considering doing vitex for the month I had off (Feb) from af-af and then stopping it before I start clomid again in march. AS said it was fine but can't decide. What is your hesitation? I am collecting all information b/c I am so on the fence! Thanks! Hope you are feeling well!

Another BFN. Think I may be out this month. I'm out of vitex so probably should order some before AF starts...

Sorry, maybe not out yet!

yes, I'm saying in your position I wouldn't try it - it's another unknown that could make things worse since you don't know how you will react to it. Lots of people get great results with it, but for some it can really mess things up too. I think not knowing what it's making your body do could cause you more stress in the long run

feeling good thank you

sorry about the bfn suregena are you sure on when you ovulated ?

amari hun i took vitex 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off for the last 2 months and have stopped it about 3 weeks ago so i can do clomid next week, it made me ovulate both times (i havent ovulated on my own for ages, prob because im a size 4 us) but it worked for me, it made me O 15 days after the last pill 1st time, and 13 days after the last pill 2nd time, if i dont get pregnant with clomid in the next 3 months i will def be starting it again, not sure you should take it now if your using clomid again next month tho hun it may mess things up,

[suregena]

Nope, not sure at all! Had no clearly positive OPK.

Amari, I'm with Rainbow, where my opinion would be to not bother with Vitex because it is another unknown to your body, and you're already changing things a lot with the Clomid. Of course, do what you feel most comfortable with, and what makes you happy sway-wise, just my 2 cents.

Surgena, hate to hear about the BFN. How many dpo do you estimate yourself being? I always say it ain't over till AF shows up.

Hope N Dreams, it's February 1st!!!! YAY!!! Attempt month! Peony, I can't wait for your attempt too later this month, sounds like a lot of ya'll are O'ing towards the end of the month.

Dannikins, re: personalites and age gaps, I couldn't agree more. I think personality has a lot more of a factor than age gap. I love how you describe your second brother as loving to be around kids and being that kind of personality.

KD, so exicited about your last clomid pill! You better O soon and get that egg fertilized with a pinky sperm! heheh

Speaking of diet...I'm getting worried b/c I'm losing weight so quickly. Anyone else going through this? I ate some beans and cheese and corn tortillas for dinner tonight just to give myself the extra umph.

DH says I look way too thin, my BFF too I think so also. Any tips on how you ladies are maintaining? Should I just add in more fat and protein? I'm the lowest weight EVERRR....let alone when TTC. Any tips?

KYBO and Jazzers, my weight just hit a plateau...I'm 5'4.5 and 110 lbs. I just stopped losing any more weight about 2 mos ago. No matter how many cals I eat (1000 or 1800!) I still weigh the same and the scale is stuck there. I've often heard Atomic say that you'll usually stop losing before you lose too much. If you still keep losing too fast though, just try to up those cals a bit while still trying to stick to the LE staples and that should do the trick. Hope this helps!
