@Anna aww so sweet and so excited for you. Any crazy cravings yet? Mine were African foods , popsicle with popcorn. I had to stop putting lotion on my face too. Maybe just try a gentle cleanser like clearasil and do not overdue on the makeup.
@Alex hopefully this is your month. Your chart looks good and it seems like you are also loosing weight. So good job.
@Lisa fingers crossed this is your month and you caught that egg.
AFM more packing to do and cd 5. I am not planning on opk or even anything this cycle. Just taking my meds, prenatals and doing Keto.
@scuba @mill how are y all?

Hi ladies, just checking in. I've done another journal post but basically had my hsg yesterday and went well. Doc prescribed an hcg shot to take when I get my surge and Progesterone gel. My question is do you think this opk is positive, because that means I need to do my shot tonight xx

Yes, Scuba -- shoot it up gurl! Warning if you're taking the HCG trigger (i took Ovidrel) it will mess with your temps so you won't be able to confirm O with BBT (bummer).

@lissa thank you! xx

Scuba, that looks positive to me! Good luck!

CD 3 for me and I'm just spotting now so at least it was a light period. PMS hit me hard yesterday which is strange because I normally get it before my period. I have my OPKs ready and I'm going to order the pre seed as well. I'm just praying for cooler weather because it's been so hot here that "baby dancing" isn't much fun

Ok so negatives this morning. I'm 11dpo, still taking my progesterone suppositories so my LP will be 14 days.

Starting to feel down. The equates may have gotten my hopes up too much. Had a little mild cramping for a few minutes last night...not sure what that could have been.

Hoping there is still a chance??? Got bfp wit 20 Mo old at 10dpo. Kinda figured something would show by now.

@crams im sorry . I know about all those blue dyes and the same thing has happened to me and to a lot of ladies here. IT's just better to know and not even try with them anymore. But please do not give up and keep trying
@Alex i dont see why your weightloss will messed up TTC. Maybe the opposite will happen. which type of dance do you do?
@Scuba it looks absolutely positive to me too. Go for it mama. Fingers crossed have fun

AFM My AF has not hurt as much that it usually does. Maybe keto is starting to work. I have lost 2 pounds so far. I keep on failing but I am not letting go. Almost everything is set up for the move. My friends have been stopping by to give hugs and I really appreciate not having to go to them. I am just too tired to socialize. The only thing that is stressing me out is that i don t have anyone yet to come pick up the cars. The company in charge of hiring a truck to come get them is doing a miserable job. Thank God we still have tomorrow and Friday. We are flying out on Saturday. New state, new city, new jo, new adventure and hopefully new baby. Some of our friends are also moving away, even further than us and the others are expecting their 2nd. So looking forward to new things.......keep the faith my ladies.

@Alex no crazy mood swings I'm just a tad bit more irritable like I cant deal with some people on most days and it's people I usually dont mind but other than that nothing crazy

@lalou no cravings though and if I do get it's for baked cheesecake which is extremely hard to find in my town so it takes a trip to the city lol... I'm going to buy the Lightful C cleanser and moisturizer from MAC at the end of the month to see if that'll help things a little bit...

Okay so general update for me: things are going pretty good I have a need for orange juice in my life and I have to be honest it causes bloating so bad that it actually hurts... Still not showing, but gained 4 pounds (2kg) already... I feel like it's a lot but it's probably normal I've never weighed this much before !! Things at work is going better we just got increases and I literally doubles my pay which is super exciting because it puts me in a better situation to care for and prepare for baby

Scuba 100% positive girl! I’m crossing everything for you this cycle first of because you this totally deserve this baby and secondly to prove your doctor wrong lol I know I’m bad but I have a bad experience with doctors and I don’t trust them till they prove me wrong

Jessica I hear ya! BDing on summer days/nights can be listed as a heavy exercise lol Go girl, you got this!

Crams don’t give up hope yet! You’re not out till AF. Many ladies got their positive very late and as lalou said stay away from those faulty tests!

Lalou I’m teaching almost all kinds of dances but I specialize in Latin-American & Ballroom Dancing.
You must be soooooo exited moving to a totally different state. I would be for sure! New beginnings are so thrilling to me and an amazing way to keep the mind away from constantly thinking about TTC. Completely refreshing for sure!!

Anna No mood swings sounds pretty nice for your SO! Lol I’ve heard from friends some crazy stories about mood swings!
So glad you had a raise on your salary. Just in time to take care your new family member!!! Do you have in your country paid pregnancy/maternity leave before and after labor? This is such a help in our country.

AFM Nothing at all lol 8DPO and everything goes as normal. Very very very slight breast tenderness and dull cramps only at night time (both normal before AF for me), temps still high and nothing else to make me say “wait a minute”... Only weird thing (but maybe it was my fault) is that while cleaning yesterday I couldn’t stand the bleach, and general cleaner spray at all. This never happens to me and I’m bleaching 4 times a week. I’m sooo used to it. I know bleach fumes it’s bad to breath but I’m doing it for years and it bothered me only when Im using way too much in a non ventilated room. That was not the case yesterday. Maybe I did put too much though, I don’t know
