@espence . I haven't tried EPO, but I believe the Chinese herbs positively changed my EWCM just prior to ovulation. We also use pre-seed which gives a little peace of mind if EWCM is not enough.

@dee My insurance covers acupuncture 80%, so I go often. I swear, if it works, I think I'll try to continue regularly even if not TTC. Also, I'm feeling happy and hopeful too at 3 dpo! I think the early part of the TWW is easier than the end. Around 9 dpo if I don't get a BFP I start getting really depressed. In all my pregnancies, if I don't get a BFP by 9 dpo, I don't get it at all. My New Year's resolution is to be more positive, so I'm going to try to keep that up through this TWW!

@alexplpl I'm glad it made you happy!! honestly now I think that the pre DPO phase is the worst. because you are not fertile yet so really bd is more or less on hold and you are just anxiously waiting to start trying.
I agree, From this point on I just want to be happy. Even if its negative again I will consul myself knowing that I have done and keep doing everything my REI dr has told me to do. all the test are negative DH is more than good, Its up to Sweet Baby Jesus to bless us with a miracle.

Also guys if it is negative and I start having a pitty party and how my body failed me some one tell me to shut and re-read this post.

@ttcsibiling dont discourage yourself, remember that everytime is different and you are not out until the switch gets here. praying for all of us!!

@Deecar Amen to that!!

@TTCSibling I feel the same way in the TTW: great until 6 dpo then progressively more impatient and anxious and by 9 dpo and a BFN I don’t feel so good anymore... @Dee love your outlook and the way you eloquently shared it! Thanks for that!
I’m between 3 and 5 dpo most likely. Had a hard time pinpointing ovulation this month so I’m not quite sure. One of my friends gave me the name of a great acupuncturist specialized in fertility so I think if we don’t conceive this cycle i’ll make an appointment. I also have pretty long and heavy AF so if anything it could help with that. I’ve never tried acupuncture before (I usually use homeopathy more than anything) but good to hear some of you had good experiences

Renee! Girl you are giving me hope!
Dee... I kinda feel that way this cycle too, at 6dpo I'm still happy...getting excited to test. But happy. I think the first week after the period is the worst because you are gearing up and hoping for everything to work.

Hoping this is my month! Period is due on the 11th, but I’m irregular.. supposedly 11 DPO today. Hubby and I have been TTC for 18 months. I’m currently seeing a specialist, and if I’m out this month I will be starting medication trials!

@ttc girl I had my last lines in May 2018 as well and a false positive digital a couple of months ago so I get it... Fingers crossed this is it...

Welcome back everyone !!

Okay ladies I think I'm going with 1dpo today as I had ovulation pains on cd12 and cd13 so I'm officially in my two week wait

I decided against testing this morning because I for reals dont think I'm pregnant I mean I didnt get positives before AF showed and she did show rather painfully and hard lol but now this morning at work I once again have a wave of nausea and i want to run to the bathroom again and i had a hot flush that made it even worse so now I'm sitting in front of a fan trying to feel better and made some oats to see if eating doesnt help... No idea what's going on
