Reply by lmosier » Feb. 21, 2012 2:21am I've decided to try EPO this cycle too as well as my prenatal. Im on cd5 and also on my 3rd day of soy. Dh and I have been ttc for 6 months. I've only had af 3 times. Im pretty sure I ovulated my first cycle, didn't on my second and positive I did on my 3rd cycle, but it wasn't until cd74. I told hubby to get ready for lots of bding!

As of today, I think I'm officially in the TWW. "O" came right on time yesterday (following the chemical) for certain & it HURT! After doing some reading evidently that is common after a chemical pregnancy, no idea why.....I think the bd'n was pretty well timed so fingers crossed!! Today is quiet, just workin' on music, cleanin' house & bein' a mom...life is good! Peace out ladies!! E Report Me: almost 42 (May) DH: 42 DD: soon to be 3 (also May!)

Reply by Southern Bee » Feb. 21, 2012 11:12am Great Scott! I can't believe we filled the pages again :) Welcome to lmosier! I'm glad you're taking the EPO. My short intro: I'm Bee, 30years, dh 31. I took EPO for 4 cycles with these lovely ladies before getting a strong bfp (our first child). I'm now just hanging around to continue supporting the girls who were there for me. I had some scary spotting and cramping at 9 weeks, but it turns out lil' bean is fine. Now I'm 15 weeks and finally able to tell more friends and family :) I normally practice a wonderful martial art called Aikido, but recently quit in favour of prenatal yoga, since the falls and rolls were starting to worry my dh and other family members. My success cycle cocktail: Green tea, no coffee Vitamins D,B complex, Zinc Bee pollen Vitex (but only for 4 days during FP) I also drink raspberry leaf tea and nettle tea regularly, although usually in the TWW I stayed away from Raspberry since it may cause mild contractions in some women (so I've read). Today I'm buckling down to my reading for school. Tomorrow I'm going to town for a bathing suit, and I'm going to start swimming at the rec centre once/week! Any suggestions on a bather for me?? Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great Fat Tuesday! xoxoxo Bee Report	Southern Bee Posts: 189

Reply by Expecting2Expect » Feb. 22, 2012 10:00am Hi ladies! Liz - Glad your apt went well!! Sorry, no idea how to upload videos on here... not sure if you even can. Airies - Thanks. Hmm... I think I would just keep bding! Cant hurt right? lol AFM - Still no sign of af... wish she would hurry up and show now that I know she is coming. I have plans to go out drinking on Saturday and would prefer to no be on a heavy day!! Hope everyon is haing a good week! Joy Report	Expecting2Expect Posts: 1861

Reply by IwishImay » Feb. 22, 2012 4:00pm Hi Ladies. Mamma: don't think you can upload anything on this site, it's pretty restrictive in that sense, but you could put it on youtube and then send the link through - if you're up for that. Congrats on seeing a healthy little bean! Joy: hope you get some surprising news instead of AF. did your temp drop again this morning? Sorry this is quick, but i'm a busy girl today. I'm 4DPO, temp drop just below coverline today - weird (praying it may be something positive, but this whole cycle my temp seems to be off and i'm not sure why. Anyway, been having an annoying teasing headache for the most part of the day and also having some cramping feeling too - feels like AF but WAY to early to even think. Probably just my mind playing tricks. Anyway - all is well, don't feel the cold coming on anymore, maybe it's just allergies which is good cause that means spring is on her way! YAY!

Good luck with the school reading and finding swimwear! Joy - Sorry your still in limbo, hopefully you will bfp soon or at least start af so you can move on. Waiting in limbo like that is the worst!!! AFM - CD 9 Still sick today, but not as bad as yesterday. Hoping to o late so that I'm up to bding. I'll start with the opks tomorrow. I'm still stuck in bed with very sore ears. Even sitting up or talking makes them hurt. What a horrible time to get sick! Hope you ladies are having a nice evening.

Reply by airiesing » Feb. 23, 2012 11:34am Hey there ladies, just a ho hum kinda day here....3dpo & nothing to report. The kiddo is kinda cranky & I'm counting the minutes til nap time!!! Joy & Aryian: I was stalking the "confessions" board, quite the action there yesterday! Bee: I swim 3-4x a week & LOVE it! Have fun! Becca: have you tried a heating pad for your ears?? might help a bit. I used to get ear infections all the time when I was a kid, until I got my tonsils out. They came back in my 20's when my wisdom teeth came in. Here's something to show my age....when I got earaches my dad would blow cigarette smoke in them!!! Oddly, it helped!! God knows what else it did though!!! YIKES! AFM: Like I said, not much to report. Honestly, I'm not actually sure what "dpo" I am. Ovulation signs were so odd this month that I'm not even sure I ovulation completely at all, I thought all signs were done because my cm went sticky but then my cervix was high (today) & there was more (just a bit) ewcm this morning & it was shortly after I had another one of those pains...they're getting less & less, the worst was the day I think I O'd. Nothing terrible, just the kind that make you stop & cuss a couple of times, nothing crippling. I can say that my mojo has left the building! That's typical after "o" so I take that as a sign. Not much left to do but wait, only time will tell Later ladies.. Report Me: almost 42 (May) DH: 42 DD: soon to be 3 (also May!) Honeymoon baby conceived at 38, born at 39 08/11 mc 9.5 weeks.

Reply by Expecting2Expect » Feb. 23, 2012 12:37pm Hi ladies! airies - oh yes lots of drama on the confessions thread! lol! FX for you!! AFM - Af is here... she is super light, just minimal spotting right now, but I have cramps and feel like crap. Wish I could spend the day on the couch watching tv in my jammies, but I think I have to go out later. I hope it picks up a bit so I can hurry up and get this over with! As is it's gonna be heavy on Saturday when I am supposed to be going out dancing/drinking. This cycle I am sticking with the preseed and prenatals (obviously) and maybe the iron - I'll see what my doc says. But I will also be starting up the EPO this cycle! hopefully I get lucky and get pg on the first month of it again! Will be starting that after af until o. Joy Report	Expecting2Expect Posts: 1861
