Thanx y'all :)
Alison-GL hun, hope you get that BFP, will keep you in my prayers :)
AFM-still nervous but hanging in there, temps are on the low side but holding steady this whole cycle has completely confused me. Chart on here says this cycle was annovulatory but FF says I "O" on CD 11. Dunno but a super swimmer caught an eggie somewhere, lol. I had pretty much given up on this cycle, figured it was a bust and enjoyed our vacation. Came back still feeling yucky tired and nausea, and having to pee every 10 min. (not good on an 18 hr drive, lol) I still can't believe it, 4 days late and still no symptoms of AF coming. Trying to hide my bump that I have already, having 7 births things just pop right on out there. Bloodwork on Monday and results on Tuesday.

AFM... Getting a tiny bit closer to my IVF cycle. I start with Lupron (downregulation) tomorrow. Then it's waiting again for AF (I think last time she took her time and showed after 10 days.) I should start the meds at the beginning of September and expect to be in my TWW a month from now...
Have a good week everyone.

Hello ladies, I wanted to drop by as I have a BFP (!!) and wanted to share some of my experiences in the hope that they are helpfu l for those of us going natural.
I am 41 yo, with two kids and ttc since late last year. All my labs and ultrasound and hsg looked great.
1) I started charting two months ago.
I cannot recommend charting enough as my mittelschmerz no longer was aligned with my ovulation!
So all of our BDing was at the wrong time. :-(
For my part, I did only temps, this past month I added OPKs. I cannot tell anything about my cm.
2) I picked up an OvWatch this cycle.
It helped dh and I improve our timing. Yes, I am one of those cheesy, "got pregnant in the 1st cycle using OvWatch" people!
3) OPKs are your friend.
I used them in concert with the watch and charting to narrow down and understand my actual ovulation pattern.
My O in July and August can 6 days later than typical!
4) guaifenesin
Best stuff ever. I was wondering if my cm was friendly. So I dosed up on the 12 hour extended release tabs during my fertile period.
I mention all these items because I was skeptical of charting at first and thought I knew what was going on. I didn't know and am grateful for the improved insight charting and these other tools provided me.
In addition to these other items, reproductive organ massage and acupuncture were an important part of my regimen for receptivity and stress release. (even though this past month has been highly highly stressful)
I hope this helps someone!
