November thread for all swaying BLUE xxxxx

[The Anchor]

I have to add a little flavour to the coconut water...that's the only way I can choke it down. Try adding a little OJ, not bad!.

I don't think it matters whether you take wheatgrass capsules or shots. Dose as per the label...

[The Anchor]

I think I'm going to lose it.

So I THOUGHT I'd O'd early this month, my microscope showed ferning on CD10, but I had zero EWCM which is rare for me. So I blamed it on the l-arginine and thought I would drop it. And I was so sure I had O pains two days ago. But then this morning...TONS of EWCM but no ferning. I guess my cycle is just messed up (my first cycle since my m/c)...maybe an anovulatory cycle? How depressing!

I'm taking wheatgrass capsules (3 a day). Is this ok or should I be taking shots?

capsules are good, thats what i was taking too.

Are you doing opks? I found the microscope to be very confusing.

No, I've had zero luck with OPKs...one positive test from about 200. That was when I swaying for my DS, and when I got pg with him (after 4 OPKs clearly said I was NOT ovulating) I gave up on them. I have ~slightly~ more success with the microscope, but you're right, it is confusing. I'm going to check again tonight. Is it possible I haven't O'd yet, but my hormones are all messed up from the m/c last month?

[Cinss]

Yes i guess that is possible. The only other thing you can do is check CP and temp. I dropped L-Arg the first month too as my cycles went wacky.

Hi Anchor,

What brand of OPK's are you using. I ordered some cheap ones that were on offer when I was ordering the preseed. These were supposed to have been tested and found to be as accurate as the leading brand. But I had no sucess with them. The test line never got darker then the control line. I had myself stressed out that I wasn't ovulating even though my body was telling me that I was. Regular cycles, the day after EWCM and O cramps stopped my libedo would drop and my boobs would get mild tingling. On my 3rd month I decided to try the clearblue digital OPK just to see if anything would come up on that plus it took the guess work out being a smiling face or blank. I didn't even know I had been stressed until I got the smiling face and I just felt so relieved. Low and behold 2 weeks later my BFP.

So what I am saying is the stress of not getting a +OPK could be working against you too.

Hi Luvalittleman,

I was taking the Wheatgrass capsules. The dose on my ones said 7 tablets were equal to one serving so that is what I took. So go with what your bottle recommends. By the way I had the powder too and that was very hard to stomach. It really did taste like I was drinking grass.

Hi Anchor.
Just wanted to write to you and say I understand what you are feeling.
I had a miscarriage between DD1 and DD2 and had an overwhelming feeling to be pregnant again straight away. My doctor recommended I skip a cycle before trying to let my hormones rebalance which I didn't want to do. I did however and then fell pregnant the following month and DD2 is snow starting school next year.
If it doesn't happen this month (fingers crossed it does though) then you can try next cycle and you may end up with a lovely Libran baby (I have had two and they are divine...

[The Anchor]

Thanks Pearl and luvalittle - I'm just frustrated, like luvallittle said, I want to be pregnant RIGHT NOW. I am fairly sure at this point that I didn't O this cycle, although something might happen in the next few days. I'm on CD14 today, but my cycles were usually 24 to 26 days (prior to m/c). I'm not out for sure, DH and I have been BDing, maybe I caught it...will find out soon enough I guess! Can't screw up my courage to get over to the 2WW
