    Any cinnamon consumption? Also, were you previously active but are now a couch potato? I bruise way more easily when I'm physically inactive than when I'm exercising regularly. I am often borderline anemic though...so maybe that's a factor.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    Nope and nope. Maybe a little the other way around though - the first time I noticed the bruising was for our flight to cuba. That followed a week or 2 of cardio and getting in the swing for the first time. (So couch to cardio). I had my tote bag on my forearm and I wish I took a photo. Yes it was a little weighted but not extreme a just a purse filled with a couple light receiving blankets a few diapers and a travel wipes...
    The the same with a grocery bag. Then unknown reasons on all over my legs and arms.
    And my gums have been bleeding for weeks. This made me think I was pregnant. We always had a condom so I thought the odds were so low, and asked Dh if he noticed any leakers lol and he said no for sure not... So I still tested and of course negative.
    So anemic - or even borderline, maybe that's it? Like I googled the symptoms and being tired and cold is my life lol so... I'm only on this diet for a few more weeks but if it keeps up I'll get checked out.

    I would get it checked sooner rather than later, since it could potentially effect/prevent you from getting pregnant with a sticky bean.

    No not on bc for years and years, I do believe the leg bruises are from clumsiness, and the arm ones are from pressure.

    I mentioned to Dh about all the bruises, he also said I complain about my arms all th time. I hadn't thought of this But my actual bones in my arms hurt - like my forums midway down to my wrist. I've been complaining when I drive particularity and never guessed that They might be related but he thinks it is.

    Not normal and I want you to add in an 18-60 mg iron supp every day for 2 weeks and then switch to 3x a week.

    Are you taking cran or aspirin?
