@momma hopefully you get you bfp soon! When will you test?
@storm sorry af came to visit :-(
@cdjen I just got over a cold, thought I was gunna cough this baby right out of me! I think you can take meds safe in early pregnancy, my Dr office gave me a list, maybe yours can? I am so not looking forward to cold season! I hope you feel better soon. And get a bfp!
@danielle sorry you still havent ovulated, that would drive me crazy! I don't know much about the extra stuff like oils, etc.
Annabelle, GL!
I hope you all get your bfp soon!
I am still a little crampy, with o going upset tummy, I think my prenatal are making me a little constipated, sorry tmi... I got my first moment of eating and immediately regretting it... I won't complain though!

Danielle, do you temp? Tempting is a really good way to see when you ovulate. I've had mixed results with OPK's. I used a clear blue digital ovulation monitor and other brands of dip stick and midstream ones and sometimes got completely different results with each brand from the same urine. Also too I found sometimes when I first started using OPK's I wasn't always using at the right times during the day. The clear blue digital ovulation monitor needs to be used first thing in the morning, whereas the other were better after 11am - evening. My fertility specialist when we saw her told me to stop using them and to really concentrate on BDing everyday from CD 9 - CD 15. I'm not sure if evening primrose makes you ovulate later. I know some vitamins like B6 are supposed to help length your luteal phase if it's short. GL
Frog constipation is really common throughout pregnancy especially in the 1st trimester as the high levels of progesterone make the bowel slow down. In later pregnancy it's from decreased room for the bowel and helps especially if you're taking iron tablets. Foods like kiwi fruit are great for keeping things moving (lol trust me I'm a kiwi and we have grown up eating them and knowing about their fantastic bowel regulating powes) Also congratulations on your BFP, it's really exciting when we get to hear success stories :)

@frog and anyone else due in June...anyone have spotting yet? 8 was hoping I would be the 2/3 that didn't spot but here I am! It came right around when AF would have been due so I'm not too worried. And nothing more than minor cramping at this point. Progression lines still look good and my temps are staying up. This is such a joyful/worrisome time!
Sorry to hear about AF coming Storm. Hoping you get a BFP next month!
@mommastrange this was outlet 4th cycle too. The emotions were insane. Last month was particularly hard. My heart breaks for anyone that has to see that BFN. TTC is such a dark and lonely place. I don't think anyone can prepare for the ups and downs.
Sending lots of the stickiest of baby dust to you all!

@Annabelle I know I just didn't miss the constipation lol. Just complaining, I have never tried kiwi before, we have a lot of allergies to it in my family... I got constipation last pregnancy when I had to take additional iron due to being anemic. I honestly should take it all the time, I am borderline anemic all of the time. Oh and thank you!
@Trish I only had some spotting after intercourse, just a spot, got my positive the next morning but it can be normal to spot after dtd. I did however spot during my pregnancy with my son, it was similar to a super light period lasting 3 days then went away and I got my positive shortly after. It can be normal if it is brown colored too, I periodically bled lightly throughout my first pregnancy, mostly after intercourse and only a handful of times. If it gets heavier call your Dr and recheck bw to be sure. Keep us updated!

Annabelle: no I don't temp! I was thinking of starting this cycle but it just seems like such a pain lol. I have been using opk dip strips every morning and evening since cd 12. I do have longer cycles around the 32 day mark. And we have been bding at least every other day for the past week.

So Af didn't show up today at all if doesn't tomorrow i'll officially be a day late. I've had af show up a day early before so, i'll wait to test on Friday and give HCG time double and hopefully get an accurate result!
Thank you everyone who's wishing me luck, The emotional roller coaster that is TCC has been driving me and Dh crazy so we're practically begging for this to be our cycle lol
GL to all of us this month hoping for lots of June babies!
