Hello ladies, I am moving over from the May group. I see some familiar names in here, I hope you are doing well.

About me, I am 32 and my fiance and I are on our 1st cycle TTC after deciding to not use condoms last cycle. I am now on CD 17 and should be ovulating any day now. Last month I had a really weird cycle which was 35 days and then only 2 days of very light bleeding. I have been having fertile cm for 5 days now and my cervix has been in SHOW since yesterday, but still negative on my opk's. I am also temping, had a dip this morning, and was started on prenatal vitamins by my ob/gyn. I have PCOS so my Dr just ordered a bunch of blood work but I am still waiting for results because I live in Florida and the hurricane has thrown everything off.

Here's hoping this is the lucky cycle for all of us. Sending and to everyone!

Hello everyone!

I was previously in the May group but decided to come join you all since AF got me last month. Currently ttc #1. We haven't used protection since Oct 2016 and began actively trying around March using opks! This cycle we aren't using anything and trying to just let it happen.. Lol. But I ended up accidentally tracking. On CD 12 i noticed a blob of stretchy cm when I went to the bathroom (and I wasn't checking for ovulation before that because I usually O around CD 16-18) & I had some mild left side cramping for the following 2 days. We BD on all 3 of those days ;). I usually have that cramping the day after I get my postive opk. So I am saying that was my O day which officially makes me 6dpo today! We have still been BD this week since it was supposed to be my fertile week. Just trying to cover all the bases :)

I've also been reading up on ways to naturally increase hormone balance/ progesterone because I suspect I have a problem with that. Would any of you have any input on that?

Thanks!
Prayers & baby dust to each of you!

Hi ladies - carrying over from May group (and April, March, Feb, etc. lol). It's my 26th cycle of TTC after my full term loss. I'm 42. I've done the whole RE thing - one tube in blocked, and I have luteal phase defect and old eggs basically. We're using my last round of clomid this month. I had better luck with Femara (had a CP in Aug) but we can't afford the RE anymore and my OB won't prescribe it.

CD 3 for me, so just starting.

Someone asked about hormone balance and progesterone? I've tried different things to build up my liner which is horrible (my average AF is 18 hours to 3 days long - really short and light) and I've tried Vitex which helped build up my cycle.

Also progesterone cream twice daily starting 2 days after AF and stopping when AF is due if BFN. The progesterone messes with your head. It gives you all the signs of pregnancy, so be aware of that. Crankiness, nausea, sore boobs, the works. I order it right off Amazon - the lavender scented pump one is nice and very effective.

Welcome ladies!!

@Prayingfor1 good luck and hope this is your cycle!.. Hope you are keeping safe as well
@Ksyd94 you seem to have got in some good BD around your O so good luck and hopefully like the rest of us in the 2WW we don't drive ourselves crazy symptom spotting!
@calvingirl I'm versy sorry your your loss..I can imagine so many cycles of TTC must take its toll..I hope you get your BFP very soon!..

As for me DPO8 or 7 depending on which app but no real symptoms..Just trying to keep busy! Temp is back up today after a dip yesterday so will see how the next few days go..

Wishing you all the best in this journey!

@purplesummer1205 - I can't believe you are not experiencing any symptoms at all! I kinda envy you for that!

AFM - CD 21, 6dpo - my BBs are now so sore I want to have them removed. Still suffering from the insomnia, reflux and lower backache. Surprisingly this is the first time this entire cycle that I'm not crampy. hoping that's a good sign.

GL ladies!

@purplesummer- We survived the hurricane with only minor damage so we feel pretty blessed.

@Tryingafterloss- I'm keeping my fx'ed that your symptoms are signs that you will be getting your BFP in the near future!

Unfortunately, after a horrible and back breaking day at work yesterday my fiance just could not perform, which was really disappointing and upsetting since I got my smiley face yesterday afternoon. I'm really hoping that there was either still some swimmers waiting or that we are not too late if we dtd when he gets home. I still have fertile cm, in fact it's more ewcm than watery like it was yesterday so here's hoping.

Morning ladies!

I'm over from the May group. AF got me 2 days early this morning after a rough month. Thought I'd jump in early. Here's hoping for a sticky bean this time

::Waves to the others from the May group::

Well hello again Burn2ash!

Prayingfor1- welcome to the June board! Here's to hoping this is your month!

Ksyd94- welcome. The only thing I know of to help with progesterone is vitex.
I took it a bit with my first but went off as I started in clomid. I was on progesterone vaginal supps with my first after I got pregnant.

Calvin girl- welcome. Wow you have been through so much. I hope this is your month. It took me 16 months to get pregnant my first time and I had a right blocked tube. Turns out that's the side inoculated from. Tubes can unblock themselves. I was also told by my specialist that the left tube can still pick up eggs from the right ovary.

Purple summer-TWW sucks! Good luck!

Tryingafterloss- Hope this TWW goes fast for you. I am 4dpo and all I want to do is test already.

Burn2ash- welcome to the June board!!

AFm- I am 4dpo today. I feel nothing. I have been working so much and been so busy. I am going in for blood work on Monday to actually confirm if I have been ovulating. I really hope I am ovulating on my own! I ordered some cheap pregnancy strips so I can start testing early if I want.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I work all weekend so I hope I can keep caught up with you all.

@Holly860- Hello! What blood work are they going to do on you? My ob/gyn has me doing the whole temp, cm charting and opk testing as of now to check that as well, since I have PCOS. She told me that, although she is testing them anyway, progesterone and estrogen tests are not always good for telling that. She is also testing my insulin, glucose, testosterone and the whole nine yards lol.
