dont even see a second line on the last test i took :( maybe i did miss it .. so confused... last couple of months my breasts have been sore the day after i ovulate so since my breasts arent sore yet... I'm hold onto the hope that I haven't ovulated yet.. ugh!

Hey guys! I am here from the July board. This month I'm using a fertility monitor and trying a low gluten, low sugar and no caffeine or alcohol diet. We'll see what happens.

Why oh why does everything I like to eat contain gluten? For others following a gluten free diet there is some great information and recipe ideas at www.glutenhatesme.com if you haven't seen it already.

xoxo- I'm sorry you and your DH are having issues. My DH is not sleeping at all well at the moment which I think is mostly down to the stress of trying to conceive. His sleeplessness started after the fertility appointments became a reality, rather than a suggestion. I know the whole process is a lot more stressful for us females, but I think we're also a lot better at coping with it - we're here supporting each other in cyberspace for a start, but how many forums like this are there for men? The only ones I've found are either for men who are infertile or for men whose partners are pregnant, there doesn't seem to be much support around for men who are trying (unsuccessfully) to get their partners pregnant. Xoxo - I hope that it stress causing these issues and that your DH finds a positive way of getting his head around it all.

AFM- My gastro ultrasound got moved forward a day so I have that this afternoon, no food from 10am in preparation. I'm supposed to have acupuncture today too but the last session has left me with a nasty bruise on my tummy and I don't bruise easily so I think I'm going to try and find a 'less invasive' acupuncturist.

I hope all you ladies are well :)

Yes! I think I finally got a positive OPK! I just posted an image in the gallery...

Welcome While!

Xoxo I'm super sorry thats happening wth your DH! Hopefully he changes his mind again soon :)

Kelley I think I might have gotten a positive today too (I'm on CD14). So we might be TWW buddies!

I uploaded my OPK results today too- they are confusing. I got one smiley CB, one blank CB and my darkest cheapy test yet from the same sample! Anyone run into that before?

@rerun thank you I'm praying DH will get it together however we did bd the other night the usual way so I guess he just nervous

Hi ladies and good luck to everyone this month...The July board was pretty lucky...BUT This month is our month!

XOXO and other difficult DH- I went through the same thing with my Dh when trying to conceive DS and again this round. Men can be frustrating and they get wounded and frustrated so easy. I try to change strategies every month or once he catches on. So instead of a set schedule I will think of some game or bet or something he really likes to help relax him (sorry if its too much TMI) Recently read Fifty Shades of Grey they were right when the said it would cause a baby boom. BUT THE MOST important thing the guys want is to know you want them not just their sperm.

AFM- I am cd 3. Anyone else around there?

@nikki I understand your so right but he knows I want him and his sperm lol I guess I'll just give him a break regardless how much it hurt me

Rerun- I have had something similar to that happen. I got a positive on a digital but the dip strip wasn't "As dark" as the control. My dip ones never seem to get "as dark" just really close.

XOXO- sorry to hear about your frustrating husband. Whenever me and DH get into a fight(usually about finances...surprise) he always says stuff like "well maybe we shouldn't be having a kid we can't afford it" I just ignore it and we go back to BD with the "donations" every time. Men are strange creatures.

AFM- I am CD 8 today bleeding is stopped...I have my FIRST normal period in over 6 months!! wohoo. I am hoping this is the one I ovulate. I am taking Vitex( I think it helped in me getting a normal period). I am being pretty good with temping(other than dam night shifts). I am testing with opk already since I don't know when I will ovualte with this vitex.
I also am taking EPO and Vit D(My lab tests showed I was super low in vit D....I kinda new that, I live in canada and I work night shifts.)

I hope everyone is having a good day. I have to go shovel it snowed like crazy!

@holly yes exactly what we are arguing about or because I'm still I'm school but he contradicts his self alot I'm just over it and all the stress make me not interested in him sexually
