The EPO Experiment: Chapter 5

View Full Post

Hi ladies...

Since we filled 14 pages already, and I'm bored, I figured I would jump the gun and start the new thread! Hopefully the start of a new thread will brng in some new ladies to chat with our amazing group!

For those who are new, I think it's appropriate to give a little spiel:
EPO is supposed to help create more cm when taken from cycle days 1- Ov. Stop taking it from Ov until your next cycle, which we all hope to ride through with warmer temps, high high cervixes and a BFP, not to mention love and support.
Some folk switch to flax oil after Ov, but some of us just quit and hope for the best.

Also maybe a quick introduction for any new-comers and a refresher for everyone else?

My name is Joy
I'm ttc #1
Have been ttc for nearly 2 years
I've had 2 m/c's
My last pregnancy I got pg on my 1st cycle using EPO!
I am currently on cd31 of a 30-34 day cycle
Hoping for a bfp, but not feeling too optimistic
didnt try the epo this go around, but if af shows this week I plan on giving it another try!

Good luck ladies!
Here's to another chapter!

Joy

Hi Ladies.

Mamma: don't think you can upload anything on this site, it's pretty restrictive in that sense, but you could put it on youtube and then send the link through - if you're up for that. Congrats on seeing a healthy little bean!

Joy: hope you get some surprising news instead of AF. did your temp drop again this morning?

Sorry this is quick, but i'm a busy girl today.
I'm 4DPO, temp drop just below coverline today - weird (praying it may be something positive, but this whole cycle my temp seems to be off and i'm not sure why. Anyway, been having an annoying teasing headache for the most part of the day and also having some cramping feeling too - feels like AF but WAY to early to even think. Probably just my mind playing tricks. Anyway - all is well, don't feel the cold coming on anymore, maybe it's just allergies which is good cause that means spring is on her way! YAY!

Hi Ladies

Aryian and Erica - good luck in the 2ww, hope you get your bfps very soon. FX

Bee - Yay for 15 week mark!!! Good luck with the school reading and finding swimwear!

Joy - Sorry your still in limbo, hopefully you will bfp soon or at least start af so you can move on. Waiting in limbo like that is the worst!!!

AFM - CD 9 Still sick today, but not as bad as yesterday. Hoping to o late so that I'm up to bding. I'll start with the opks tomorrow. I'm still stuck in bed with very sore ears. Even sitting up or talking makes them hurt. What a horrible time to get sick!
Hope you ladies are having a nice evening.

Hi ladies!

Becca - Yep still in limbo... boo, this sucks!! Hope you're feeling better soon sweetie!!

Ayrian - Thanks hun. Bbt dropped .01 degree this am so not really a noticable drop. I hope your signs mean you caught that eggie this time!!

AFM - Still no sign of af, so I guess she'll come tomorrow. That means that one of my heaviest days will be Sat when I am supposed to be out drinking and having fun... stupid witch! She better come early tomorrow and not at night!

Hey there ladies, just a ho hum kinda day here....3dpo & nothing to report. The kiddo is kinda cranky & I'm counting the minutes til nap time!!!

Joy & Aryian: I was stalking the "confessions" board, quite the action there yesterday!

Bee: I swim 3-4x a week & LOVE it! Have fun!

Becca: have you tried a heating pad for your ears?? might help a bit. I used to get ear infections all the time when I was a kid, until I got my tonsils out. They came back in my 20's when my wisdom teeth came in. Here's something to show my age....when I got earaches my dad would blow cigarette smoke in them!!! Oddly, it helped!! God knows what else it did though!!! YIKES!

AFM: Like I said, not much to report. Honestly, I'm not actually sure what "dpo" I am. Ovulation signs were so odd this month that I'm not even sure I ovulation completely at all, I thought all signs were done because my cm went sticky but then my cervix was high (today) & there was more (just a bit) ewcm this morning & it was shortly after I had another one of those pains...they're getting less & less, the worst was the day I *think* I O'd. Nothing terrible, just the kind that make you stop & cuss a couple of times, nothing crippling.

I can say that my mojo has left the building! That's typical after "o" so I take that as a sign. Not much left to do but wait, only time will tell

Later ladies..

Hi ladies!

airies - oh yes lots of drama on the confessions thread! lol! FX for you!!

AFM - Af is here... she is super light, just minimal spotting right now, but I have cramps and feel like crap. Wish I could spend the day on the couch watching tv in my jammies, but I think I have to go out later. I hope it picks up a bit so I can hurry up and get this over with! As is it's gonna be heavy on Saturday when I am supposed to be going out dancing/drinking.

This cycle I am sticking with the preseed and prenatals (obviously) and maybe the iron - I'll see what my doc says. But I will also be starting up the EPO this cycle! hopefully I get lucky and get pg on the first month of it again! Will be starting that after af until o.
