I girls,

how are you lovely ladies doing.

Been super busy today. I am feeling good no cramping no nothing
My OPK test was darker on one side toady. I posted a picture for you all to see.

@jsx- Im really sorry about your husband they can be real ass sometimes but tell him that is really disrespectful to call you names and to never do it again.

@mari
What a great reading that was im going to get one soon.
I hope you went today and bought your vitamins and your things. I bought prenatal vitamins today with DHA.

@pices hey girl you have been lost today .

Hope you all have a great Saturday evening Im going to shower we re going to dinner

Love you girls

@ants- I did get all my stuff :) There is actually a fertility diet, and now I'm just trying to find ways to integrate it into every meal. Its gonna be a big change because we normally eat out for pretty much every dinner, and I eat lunch at the club almost every day, so its all corndogs and french fries, fried deliciousness :)

This diet has super specific foods to get the fats and nutrients that promote healthy eggs and sperm and boost fertility. I'm even looking at antipasto ideas to get in some of the extras like olives, turkey, tomatoes, peppers, and cheese. The main thing is eating all organic dairy, meat, and produce because when a food has been treated with antibiotics and hormones, it throws off estrogen and all the other hormones. The most surprising thing was that you should never have low fat dairy because you need those fats to keep sperm, eggs, and dna from being sticky and clumping together. I can't remember the last time I had whole milk or cheese that wasn't low fat. Its a major change for us, but its one we have to make because I'm not sure if a restaurant has all organic, and you're supposed to avoid all refined sugars and bleached grains. It was all backed up with tons of research, and studies have shown that 80% of couples get pregnant quickly after changing the diet.

I have a question and I can't find an answer to it no matter how much I research...
Last month, I started lightly bleeding on the 13, so I put that in my calendar as cd1. Then heavy bleeding started on the 16th, so I made a note to myself that maybe THAT was cd1. I don't know which one was actually cd1. If it was the 13th, then I am 3 days late. If the 16th was cd1, I should have had a visit from af today, but I have had no bleeding, no cramping, sign of the evil witch. My bbs are sore and the hubby swears they are also bigger. I never get bb related symptoms with af. I have also been eating like a mad woman for about ten days, and it has to be super spicy food. Basically, I'm not sure if I'm late or what any of this means :/ I know I'm just gonna have to sit back and wait for af to see when she's gonna rear her ugly head, but the confusion is really getting to me!

@mari
I was told by my ob the first sign of blood or spotting that is cycle day 1.

Even if it doesn't come down full force until a couple of days the 13 was your cycle day1.

Have you hpt?

What are you waiting for???.?.?.?.?

Omg I'm soo excited maybe this is your month...

I just went to the bathroom and had some spotting too and I'm on cycle day17, super weird

Let us know as soon as you test because my friend you are 3 days late....

Hey girls I just pisted my opk pic. Today is cycle day 17. I sre it dark...

What do u think let me know.

I had spotting again this morning.

You count the first day at the first sign of blood flow. Light spotting doesn't count. Either way Mari you should test. Use a frer.

@mari, I've always been told your cycle doesn't start until it's a full flow. I spot usually for two days before AF (this time four days) but I never count it cd1 ubtil it's in full force.

Regardless you should test :)

Still ridiculously confused about temping. Mine are ALL over the place. Is this normal???

@ants mommy that's it! Now get to work

@mari I agree with @desertchic go get a FRER if she's not here by later today.

@cam sorry about AF ...keep trying

AFM: temp is up but cramps/bloating letting me know the witch is on her way. Although at 4am Saturday (Friday leading into Sat) i had these awful cramps & gassy. The pains seemed to go through my back they were so awful. That was at 10 DPO and cramping ever since but not as intense. If those were implant cramps then I would test positive by tomorrow afternoon. I'll keep ya posted.

@lsch I keep meaning to address your questions about temp'ing...what problems are you having? Are you certain that it's a BBT therm?

@ pices- so does this mean u will test tomorrow? I know u will lol!
