Colie - well that’s really great that your getting a bunch of tests done to see where you stand with TTC. I hope it all works out and your healthy! Or get some answers and figure out what’s going to help you. I wish my dr would order some tests for me, but they said they said I need to try for the rest of the year because they are convinced I’m perfectly healthy. Now I did have all the testing done before like 6 years ago and everything came back just fine, so idk, we will see.

Luv - so gladness you found me! The one thing I will be doing differently is adding a vitamin D supplement to my diet. I found out I have a serious deficiency of vitamin D last year and I stopped taking my supplement months ago. I don’t know why, I think I just ran out and got lazy lol. But I did some light reading about it, and I did find some reading material about how women with a deficiency of vitamin D had a Harder time conceiving than women who were not deficient. So.. why not give it a go and try it. A small and inexpensive tweek that maybe could help.

HEHEH....was just reading my post and I was so sleepy when I wrote that. I can hardly comprehend it.

Vitamin D3. Yup. Your girl is missing it too. I purposely do not get much sun because it hurts my eyes and drains me so quick. I am in the early stages of Lupus so makes since. BUT I was taking loads of it a while back too and I though 3000 was alot. 1000 in my prenatals then an extra 2000 from target brand. It was barely above the exceptable level. Sooooo ugh. I already take a good bit of vitamins/supplements and don't want to take another but I too have been slacking on my D3.

The jury is out on if I will pick it up again.

Meanwhile I feel great being on cd4 spotting and no hormones in my body. I LOVE this feeling.

Do either of you feel awful during the 2ww or is it just me?

Hey ladies I'm on CD 3. I will TTC this cycle with clomid/shots trying to be aggressive this go around. I took a 7 month break after trying twice. glad I found this group!

Hope we all get are bfp this cycle my other half is working away a lot this month so it could be a little tricky for me but keeping my fingers crossed

Welcome Mommy and Bakers!! FX for you!!

Colie: OMG I would loooove any amount of time spent on vacation in Europe..LOL. That will be perfect for letting your cares just go away. I really hope that long break has you coming back all knocked up ...hehehe

Jrosie: I thought of ttc and was like "UGH"...I am enjoying myself so much. I'm not temping or even planning on using Opks. I just want to breathe. Being so old I can't take a year off (though tempting) but I can distress. While I hope this cycle is it I am making some drastic changes to my diet. Its 99% whole foods, water, supplements and liquids. I do not over eat and have taking down how much and when I eat to certain hours.. I am working on dropping in weight and fixing my cholesterol levels. I feel tons better.

Louise: HUGS....yes, when Jrosie was gone for a bit. I was so lonely....rofl. It was ridiculous. I tried being on other sites but it was hard to find a calm group with like interests just ttc with total support and no judging. Its can be a long an painful road. I don't care if others get pregnant and I'm still trying which is usually the case ....I want to be along for that journey too because it is so exciting!

Well, I'm cd5 and chilling like a poloar bear. Starting to feel twings in my my bbs and I'm lik OH NO YOU DON"T. The earliest I've ovulated was cd7......not enough maturing time though it has worked for some. Praying it holds off until cd12 at aleast. Oh wait I think I know what it is, I am taking Red Raspberry Tea Leaf tabs. Suppose to help tone uterus which is why by bbs keep fretting about.

It is so nice to have ladies to gab with!! Sorry if I gab alot. Feel free to do the same. Jrosie knows I can talk alot...

Good morning ladies!!! I had a decent Friday. Fasting is going well. My bladder thinks I am crazy with all the water intake and peeing but my stomach is receding more than expected. Bloat is having a hard time sticking around with me avoiding processed foods as much as possible. Thank you both for the encouragement!!

I should O between Wednesday and Saturday. Wednesday being my normal early O day at cd12. It might get delayed with the added stress of diet change but it will be cool to see.

Colie: I wish it was bding time in my house...hehehe. Weekends are perfect for it. During the week it can be a chore because after work, shores, and trying to relax....well, sleep happens Praying you get all the well timed bding needed this cycle.

Jrosie: It took many cycles for me to get to the point of not needing opks/temping. I have suffer from mittelschmerz so its not hard to miss O day. Yet, my cervix tightens up during this event, making it hard for anything to get in. Including sperm I'm afraid. Its very painful for like 4 hours and then calms down. I plan to sneak in some bding after it has calmed down as well as right before.
I think this will be my last time trying super hard for a spell though. I just might have landed myself a big promotion at work and being preggo would make things a bit rough over the next few months. I say this like there is a good chance of me getting pregnant Hasn't happened in years! But you know what they say when you least think about it

Still early and I need to get more rest. Have a beautiful weekend!!

ROFL Jrosie, I would love to have the weekend to bd to and O on MOnday and be doen with it. LOL Thank you for the encourgagment!!!!

Strangely I feel like I might O on Monday. My left ovary feels very strange. I hope its not a cyst.

Ok, popped on here to peak in on you ladies. I am so tired and need to rest. I walked a ton today.

HUGS and baby dust!!

NO ovulation for me today. Nope. I was taking Red Raspberry Leaf tabs and it lowered my bbt and I guess has changed my hormones??? I had breast aches here and there but no ewcm or any true signs of O coming. My FRER opk is getting gradually darker but not killer dark. I am out of OPKS. I won't be home this weekend for bding so we will have to make the most of tomorrow and Friday....lol.

How is everyone else?

JRosie- Gotcha. That will make things a little more difficult. I'm currently on CD 7. Last month we had a CP so we're hoping for better luck this month.

Hey ladies sorry I’ve not spoke been a little busy my body clock is all over the place I was ment to get AF like almost 2 weeks ago an Sunday I started spotting brown blood an still am so my period was just over a week late so now I have no idea when I will ovulate as my body seems to be all over the place I think I’m going to give this month a miss an my partner is away on business too fingers crossed for all you ladies x
