Miracle - I have very short cycles too. I got pregnant with Oscar on a short cycle, about 18 hrs. However, I have uterine cysts and Oscar's placenta was too small, so I've been trying to beef up my lining with baby aspirin every day and a good prenatal with lots of iron. It's lengthened my period that was previously only 2 days to about 3.5 -4 days now. I feel better about it - but it hasn't helped me get pregnant yet.

Hey ladies. Sorry been away. Been depressed as all get out, went to dr 3 times to finally get put on depression meds. Af due in 2 days and I have quit trying. Congrats to all the bfps. Will check in later

MIracle - it improves blood flow and lets your lining get thicker.

Hi, just popping in to add some info on increasing lining thickness. Red clover blossom tea is outstanding as it contains phytoestrogens. Pomegranate juice, Brazil nuts, pineapple core, borage seed oil, and of course red raspberry leaf tea are all well worth considering when it comes to uterine lining.
6 g l-arginine daily, Melatonin, Ubiquinol, and a blood pressure lowering medication "Atenolol" have also shown to improve lining thickness (small scale studies). I highly recommend Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Rosea for immune and stress support while TTC. Google for more info. Drspencepentland.com "Foods to improve blood flow to the uterus" is also very interesting. Hope this is helpful.

Great information, thank you calvin and mozart!!!

Hi ladies,

Miracle Kerzie had a few weird cycles before her BFP. I suggest you start temping and using opks to verify you are ovulating.

hello ladies!! Happy Fall Day!

Great to see some new faces! Welcome JS and with your iui.

So how are our ladies with BFPs feeling?? Anything new?

Anyone getting near test time?

I'm on cycle day 5. My PreSeed and BBT arrived in the mail today! Looking forward to trying it all out this cycle... Thinking back, I am not sure that I have had the ideal CM- so maybe this PreSeed will help.

I was looking into acupuncture today too, My insurance wont cover it however, so I think I'll just make the bf give me nice massages over the next month. I need to be relaxed- you know!

My insurance also only covers fertility testing and not any treatments. I wasnt going this route anyways. I figure, I will give myself the best shot at this by tracking temps and the other things I can do for myself.

Calvin- I started taking a baby aspirin daily- not due to my period length, but due to my miscarriage in March being likely due to a large blot clot. I figured it couldn't hurt..

Just realized I'm two days late, called dr about the medicine they put on me to see if it affects periods being late and they said no! So I got a test at first it looked neg but now I see Two lines. Posted pic in pregnancy test thing to see what others think!
