Sugar - ohhh what confusing messages from your body! Fx'd the BD'ing you do will work out :)

Aclark- I'm cd15 and was OPK+ only yesterday and horrible o cramps last night, so I'm calling today o day also!

Angela- I take melaleuca prenatal fish oil and have never had a fishy taste!

Stevi - when you gonna test? Fx!

While - fx!!

Wifey - LOL! I totally can relate to how your hubby is feeling, but once those finals are done it's go time! ;). Luckily my last final was 4 years ago, don't miss them!

Tebo- baby dust!

My lucky- awesome plan, GL!

Koti- you are so right! Luckily I think I made it fun enough tonight that there was no issue. Sometimes I wish he was more oblivious so I could hide it and keep the pressure off! What is seed cycling?

Gvmdl- fx ntnp works wonders!

Sand - Ty, you too!

Afm, cd15, think I ovulated overnight, horrible cramps on the left, could barely sleep. Finally ewcm today. OPK + yesterday, negative today. Hopefully a temp shift tomorrow. Been using preseed if needed. Couple times put in a softcup after. Trying to be positive this cycle.... Wanting to start 2014 pregnant! Baby dust to you all!

I'll check out some other fish oil brands because I don't know how long these ones will last lol

While: Just to expand on the folate, I take 2000mcg a day (600 in prenatals, 400 in the blood builder iron complex, and 1000 in the B complex).
To make sure you get folate (some companies provide folate but write folic acid) make sure that it says after the ingridient Calcium L-5-MTHF, that is the natural form of folate.

Yogamama: where in Canada are you? I'm in BC :)
I love this board and the ladies here, replying is my pleasure :)
I just started seed cycling 3 days ago, I hope it will help, so tired of irregular cycles.

Angela: Yogamama is right, Nutrasea is amazing for fish oil, the best is their liquid form, I put it in the shake, no taste at all.

GVMDL: :) Thank you :)
I am so happy about your approach, I love the inner peace thing. I wish I could let myself do that, but I am doing too many changes to stop following them now... I will try until I get to see the fertility specialist in May, then we'll see what will happen.
Thank you for staying here for us :) We love you!

Sand: Welcome and baby dust!

firsttime: EWCM is great, BD BD BD, and hopefully tomorrow is 1DPO :)
The magic is to write anything you want about your cycle here, and keep him in the dark, just lure him into BD with nothing but "I want you" LOL, then they are fine.
Seed cycling is taking certain seeds during the first pahse of the cycle and different seeds on the second phase, the seed help the body produce the right hormones and regulate the cycles. It takes several months to see changes according to the doctor.

Kot - okay I used to take folate from Standard Process and I ran out and now I've been using a prenatal and supplementing with folic acid. I should probably go back to my nutritionist and get more folic acid B-12 - it's the folate/naturally occurring food based supplement I believe. Are you familiar with Standard Process? And I know you have to take like what twice as much folate as folic acid?

I take the gummy prenatals and gummy omega 3. My dr said any pre-natal and 300 mg of omega 3. I hate swallowing pills and have to make it easier to take or I won't follow through. Taking 4 gummies a day is a treat. :) I still miss them once or twice a month though. I eat pretty healthy, so I think I get a lot of those vitamins in my regular diet anyway. I try not to worry too much when I forget.

CD 8. I took Soy Iso CD 2-6. I feel like AF will be here in a week. Like pre-cramping. Not a feeling I am use to at this time. It's really light. Has anyone else had this on soy iso?

I start acupuncture in January. I should see if Hubby will go. We could all use it.

I am so sorry ladies! I went MIA! This "taking a break" is killing me! My husband can see the difference too... he said we won't be taking anymore breaks! I am really not hardly ever in "the mood" and usually I am all over my hubby! I have no idea what is going on but I don't like it!

I promise I didn't mean to avoid the forum, I just have been in this mood. With the DH hitting the dear and really messing up his truck, fighting the stupid insurance adjuster, getting ready for Christmas and preparing for winter storms that they aren't even sure what it is going to do here... ugh! Okay rant over.

I will take some time in the next day or 2 for me to catch up on this forum... it looks like I have missed a lot!

Hugs to all of you!

GV - Love your approach! Big hugs to you, and praying you get another sweet surprise. :)

Cristi - So glad to see you again! I'm so sorry your dh hit the deer and messed up his truck, but I'm thankful he wasn't hurt. Dealing with the insurance company can be a pain in the rear. I'm sure it's a lot of stress. :( Still praying for you, too.

Afm - CD30, 15dpo. I've only had one cycle that went this long, and it was the month I didn't stop taking the progesterone until CD27. I stopped taking it this time at CD25. I had a negative HPT at 10dpo & 13dpo...I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to test again. What if it's negative? My dh says not to get my hopes up unless I make it through today without starting. What do you ladies think?

Jinxed myself - AF is here.

Sorry Rebecca that AF got you. It's always a bummer.

Major O pains today, fingers crossed that this is our month!

Firsttime: Catch that egg!

While and Wifey: Baby dust!

Welcome all newbies to this forum!

I'll be off this site for a next week or so and I'm wishing you all BFPs and I will talk to you all after New Year's!
