I've been reading over here, getting familiar with everyone's situations! :)

My weekend was pretty good, visited one of my best friends on Saturday, her daughter turned 5, I was there for her birth and seeing my BFF getting pregnant and having a baby precipitated my FIRST bout with baby fever. I've waited patiently for DH to be ready to start a family for SO long... I am now genuinely a little afraid of getting a BFP. My emotions have been all over the place since he first told me we could start trying this summer. *sigh*

AF hasn't come yet, she should show any day now. I plan to test on the 11th if she hasn't come by that time. I've felt pretty similar to how I felt last cycle around this time except I have not had breast tenderness and no cramps yet. One strange thing, this morning I had a LOT of watery cm, I thought I had turned into a spigot for a minute. I have never observed THAT before... lol

@honcat hey girl, I know you feel a little relieved, that's how I felt last month when I sort if took the month off. I didnt temp or use OPK's...didnt use any OPK's any this month either. I had full intentions of ordering them but never did so I just used temps and paid attention to my body. Enjoy that time off.

@lsch....news please?

@skyline glad DH came around! Geesh! It probably seemed like forever...lol. Lots of CM is supposed to be a good thing from what I read yesterday. I spotted some ewcm at 5dpo and got concerned. But I hope the witch stays away. I am due for AF on the 14th...so hopefully she stays away.

Morning ladies. No good news to report. I tested this morning because the cleanse that I started has one thing you can't do while pregnant. Figured I should be safe. BFN. Right after I tested, noticed some pink spotting. I am out this month. I know AF will be be tomorrow. I am so down. Probably because of Tania's reading. Everything lined up for this month.

I was told last night that this cleanse I am doing is a great cleanse to do while TTC. I guess many women have done it and gotten pregnant the next cycle. Maybe this is the "natural fertility booster" Tania was referencing in her reading. I don't know, I know I am not out until the witch shows, but I am pretty sure she will show. :( Do you ever feel that you just weren't made to have kids? That is how I feel right now.

@LSchrader- I'm sorry :( I was feeling very hopeful for you. I hope the cleanse works for you like it has others!

@lsch I am sorry too but maybe the cleanse is what you need. There is an actual Fertility Cleanse on that website that I posted last week but you absolutely can not TTC I think for two months, I think. Hopefully this one will get you all ready and you will get pregnant in a flash by the end of the month. **hugs**

Thanks ladies. I am pretty bummed. I am having a hard time not feeling resentful towards people who just get pregnant. I know that is not ok, but it's how I am feeling right now.

I will just keep going. I will ovulate in August which could still line up with Tania's reading. I think I need to stop thinking about it though.

How is everyone feeling today?

Hey all

Well I'm 13dpo and feeling pretty crappy if I'm honest :(

Af is due in 2 days and I'm feeling sooo bloated! My bbs are very tender and feel like I have two melons down my top! I feel tired, but not so much at night, it's mostly in the morning, I can never wake up. I have zero energy and very bad leg cramps last night.

My weirdest symptom yet has been a twitchy eye lol. I couldn't look directly at someone because it looked like I was winking at them! Iv checked online and its quite common before a BFP so I'm keeping everything crossed. This is our first month of TTC #2 and its exhausting lol. I think at the moment I'm symptom spotting, but it's so difficult not to lol. Iv not had any spotting so I'm thinking I'm out, but my face has broken out in the last 2 days, and iv not had spots since I was a teenager, also my hair looks greasy and I only washed it yesterday!

How is everyone feeling today?

@Lauren-welcome. your "symptoms" sound very promising. Watch out though...of you symptom watch too much @topo will come find you!! Don't let her know what you are doing :)

Ladies I need some help. I think I am ready to go the doctor. I made an appointment with my OBGYN to just get fully checked out. My appointment is not until the 26th of this month. Is this the right thing to do to get started out? @pisces, when you were put on chlomid, was this a fertility specialist who did this? I know they might tell me 6 months of trying isn't long enough, but truth is, I have been off b/c since last November. I just need some hope and If I find out I am perfectly healthy and so is DH I will feel better.

@LSchrader- So you have been off BC since November and trying for 6 months? What all have you been doing so far? (Sorry to ask questions I'm sure you have answered before...)

@skyline-no problem :) Well I started using OPK's my second month and learned I O way earlier than I thought. I just started temping two cycles ago and still am getting the hang of it. I think if anything, I will continue temping. We used preseed for two cycles, which I really liked so will also continue. I think that is really it at this point. I am really bad at temping so I haven't been able to really pinpoint my O date that way. I am just not consistent with it and always forget :-/

We decided that we just don't want to "try" anymore and to just have fun with it. I just want a baby SO bad...don't we all?! So I am kinda willing to do anything, but I just don't want to be stressed out.
