TTC Pink February 2014

[greeneyes]

I got my TTC mail today!! I got 40 IC OPKs with 10 IC HPTs, a three package of CBE digital HPTs with weeks estimator, and a box of CBE fertility monitor strips! I have two boxes of repHresh at home, I have some children's antihistamine (I can take that too, lol), I believe the only thing I'm lacking is baby aspirin. Still need to get that.

Soooo excited!

Yikes MrsM! its amazing how much damage BCP can do to you actually. Last time my periods came back completely straight away but this time I have pep tea that have messed with the BCP a bit. I am going to be interested to see what actually happens. When I was drinking 2 cups of pep tea a day before, I was having periods when I shouldnt so I was convinced the BCP wasn't working (thankfully DH and I were going through a phase where one of us constantly had a cold so sleeping in separate rooms and no chance to BD!). I forgot to take my pep tea to my mums over xmas so didn't have any then and since I got back I've had no more than one cup a day but not very often. So we will see. I struggle to remember the folic acid this time, I take it most days but I am just not very good at taking stuff.

But yes, you are right, it may take a while, I might still be here in a few months with nothing happening. Gosh I don't know how long its possible to fully keep up the diet. Even though I don't do it every single day, it can be hard going. Oh well curry night tomorrow, definitely has to be a day off the diet!!

I thought the mirena had hormones in it? Wouldn't that help prevent pregnancy vs just the normal IUD element of it?

Good luck! Hope you regulate soon! I'm CD9 myself.

Hi all!! Can I join as well....started the Le diet and am struggling with the hunger pains ....I have around 6 weeks to my attempt as I am on cd1 now. So exciting.. I just hope I get preggers first shot lol I am not that lucky though!

Hi Rainbow baby :-) Fingers crossed we all get a quick pink bfp and can happily stuff our faces after that!

Hi Greeneyes, nice our cycle days are close, though I will probably end up longer than you!

I wouldn't be so sure of that, lol. I'm taking vitex this cycle to delay ovulation. I have an appt at the end of the mo with my GYN and I'll NOT be happy if I have to reschedule it because I'm on my period and its super heavy. I know they can do paps when on your period but its usually really heavy and uncomfortable. I don't see why anyone would want that added discomfort at that time in their cycle, lol. I plan on talking to my OB about my short LPs so I really don't want to miss this appt!

I'm counting on an attempt closer to the end of February beginning of March.

I feel ya! Somedays I have a lot of hunger, some days I have none. It seems to balance itself out that way. I've also noticed I "seem" hungry when I'm most likely not and I've actually got heartburn (sometimes heartburn can mainfest itself as feeling hungry. DH told me about that and its true! lol) so I take some OTC zantac.

Hope we all get PG the first shot for sure!!

Vitex didn't delay my ov at all, hope it works for you though x

I used it in the past to help with my LP and it delayed O and dried me up. Hoping that it does this cycle too! If not, then I guess it is what it is, lol.

Such a contrast to my experience! Its given me so much ewcm its unbelievable! Which is the reason I've decided to remove it from my sway x
