Hi ladies! My cycle also began on the 11th. Trying ten cycles so far for my first. I am using opks and I should be ovulating this weekend so my dh and I have been busy! If i am lucky my baby would share my bday too, well close enough. I'm feeling very positive so far.

Baby dust!!!!!!!

i dont know if breakouts are to do with ovulation but i have had bad spots last couple of days?
and yesterday i had the most excruciating sharp pain and cramps in my stomach, i couldn't turn my torso! never had that before ever! have anybody else felt this before? xxx

Last cycle i had some pretty bad cramps after ovulation, one which for about 1 minute was the worst pain ever. A couple days before af they went away.

I've been breaking out pretty bad also. It came out of no where. I've been extremely tireddd. I had a dream the other night that I had took 2 hpt and they were postive. Weirddd lol. I'm not gonna look into it.

I've been drinking green tea and taking prenatal vitamins. I heard the green tea does something to the folic acid. Should i stop drinking it?

@ruqsar i dont usually have breakouts around ovulation, and i have also been feeling tired, and have had strange dreams, dreamt i had a very large baby boy? as you say not going to look to much into it as around this time its easy to be obsessed with symptoms.
green tea can decrease the absorption of nutrients from folic acid and iron and i think a few other nutrients. Drinking in-between meals can help, and limiting to 1-3 cups a day, which is still the equivalent to 1/2 a cup of coffee. And reusing the tea leaves or bags can limit the caffeine but maintain the antioxidants. I still drink green tea but reuse the bags and drink between meals. hope this helps. xxxx

I had dream last month that I was giving birth and one before that which I ha d a baby. Hoping dreams come reality soon!

So my opks are getting stronger and no positive yet but i had a glob of ewcm and it was tainted brown. I mean a lot! I am hoping I will ovulate this weekend. DH and I have been bding every other night so we will keep that up as much as possible.

Did 2 tests today, both positive!

@ pbc910 do you mean opks tests or pregnancy test? xxx

Opk, i wish it was a pregnancy test! Today my line was even darker, yay!
