Cd 12 here. Opk is almost positive. The hubby and I have both been taking Guaifenesin. Can help thin out semen so it can help with sperm motility. Also helps with thinning cm. So we are trying it!

@E sorry for AF. For sure , this cycle will be it mama. Are you doing anything different? More maca? Opks? Temping?

@Draginfly..sorry to hear abt AF too. How do you feel and what do you mean by the smell of uterus? Could you get checked out?

@Mill fingers crossed

@Alex what is going on?

Lalou Sending belated birthday wishes for your mom! You’re so blessed indeed having both your parents and be able to give them the present of being grandparents!! Here is the 26th day of our lockdown and yesterday I read that it will be till the 27th (for now). I’m very worried that I won’t be able to keep my business expenses are running and we’re not receiving..Personally I don’t feel blessed at all to witness this pandemic. I feel terrified. I live in a country that we had the worst economic crisis the last 10 years and we just got slightly better and now that....

Dragonfly I hope too that your hubby will surprise you earlier than August! But till then enjoy your beautiful family! Time flies fast and you both will be on the same page soon! Till then, you never know!!!! Hoping for your bfp sooner!!!
Don’t worry your mind if you had a CP.. you will never know anyways! Focus on now and on the future. It won’t bring you any results, just more stress and we don’t need that!

Nasa welcome back hun! Having my fingers crossed that your spotting was pregnancy related! I was locked in due to the pandemic on my last cycles tww and I will be in this cycle too. I found it easier to occupy my self trying to build a schedule for everyday chores inside the house and of course a daily workout. It really worked for me. Now my house in neat and even though my diet is a mess since I’m bored eating, I feel good that I’m still keeping in shape and active!

E I’m so sorry AF got you! Hopefully you’re entering a successful cycle! Really hope your chiropractic adjustment to help this time! Take it easy on yourself.. It only needs one time!!

Punk welcome back again! I’m not in the tww yet but I was in quarantine in my latest.. I think we all gonna be here for a while! Try to stay occupied and hopefully in few days we will see your bfp. Are you planning to test before af is due?

Mill having everything crossed for you babe! It’s about time to celebrate for you!! I have a feeling that you’re not far from your miracle!!!

AFM Not much. Mostly what I already said above.. I’m on my fertile days waiting for O and we are already started the BDing.. It’s easy being at home all day lol
My mood and my anxiety though is not on its best and I know that’s not good. I try to meditate after my daily workout but it’s not always workI got.. This cycle it’s our last try to have a 2020 baby. Hubby really wanted that... I don’t think is happening though..

Hopefully everyone is safe and calm! Sending all my love

@Alex glad to hear from you. Does your government have made a plan to at least loan some money to businesses? Sorry if I have already asked this question. Making things in order is just like me. I am the same way . Although I am already busy enough with teaching, my own master classes and a toddler. But what I meant by being blessed was just me trying to find the silver lining in this pandemic. I feel blessed because all my family here in US , in Europe, Africa even in Asia are still fine. We are looking into herbs to try to help and not just rely on pharmaceuticals. I am absolutely frightened by this thing. I just made the decision not to let it rule my life. I had a panic attack the night before I tested bfp and maybe that was pregnancy related but still , these are scary times and I do pray that we can find a cure really soon. I am hoping that this cycle will be the one for husband and you. Stay brave. Don't give up.

Lalou yes the government made some plans but tbh is not enough to help some business owners to keep going. Living during an economic crisis was already hard enough just to keep paying the necessary expenses so taking a loan after the quarantine, when ppl won’t have money to spent on dance lessons it won’t help at all... it will add to the depts.. I really don’t know what to do and what decisions to take.
It’s so difficult for everyone and there are already people that cannot feed their families.
I’m praying everyday for everyone to be healthy and safe!

I'm jumping on the posting train again. Unfortunately it's because my blasted AF showed up after hoping for a wedding miracle this past cycle. I o'd around my wedding date of 3/20/2020.but no luck.
CD1 and grieving the lost of not having a 2020 baby.

Such a busy last couple of days, forgot to update.

Last time I posted I was 5 DPO and had pink spotting.

6 DPO - tan cm throughout the morning which was gone in the afternoon, cramps, backache
7 DPO - mild cramps & bloating
8 DPO - sore & swollen boobs (feel bruised), mild cramping, bloating

@Alex my heart goes to you. And that is so true. My district has been sending food with families and making sure that they are safe. I hope your government will do something for all the businesses. This is the moment for solidarity.

@bug congratulations on the wedding and sorry for AF. Hopefully this cycle will be yours mama.

@Nasa welcome back. Cheers for ovulation and those signs sound good. FX .

AfM I am praying for everyone. Stay brave.

@nasamama. Those symptoms sound promising. Hope you get your BFP in the next few days.

@bugttc. Congrats on your wedding. Don't be sad about not having a 2020 baby. Instead, look forward to having a 2021 baby while all this COVID-19 dies down and it will be less stressful. Right now, keep yourself and your husband as healthy as possible.

@Alex. Thank you. I agree, worrying about something that might not even have happened is not good for my mind. I also agree that kids grow up fast and best to enjoy it while they are small. I too hope he surprises me during my fertile week.

@Lalou. As creepy as it sounds, I have smelt period blood before and have noticed that it smelt different. I'm not sure if you have other kid(s) and gave birth, but it smelt like that but different than period bleed; if it makes sense.

AFM. Husband and I DTD last night and he didn't pull out. Of course, that was on CD6. I expect to ovulate on CD15. I'm not temping or using ovulation tests this cycle and just see what happens. After ovulation depending on how things go, then I will look at my options.

Good luck everyone, and stay healthy and safe.

Hi ladies! Just poking my head back in to say hi! I see a few bfps and I'm so happy for everyone! Especially you, Lalou. I'm glad to see that you've finally got your next little one on the way. I can relate to school being exhausting during pregnancy, but you can do it and just take a break if you need to.

I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and everything seems to be just fine. Baby boy is kicking away and pregnancy is agreeing with me better than I thought it would. I've been home from work since 3/16 due to the virus pandemic and honestly, it has been a blessing in disguise. The circumstances are sad and scary, but being home has given me time to enjoy my pregnancy and relax that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Plus I feel much safer being able to just stay at home.

I hope you all are safe and healthy. Keep your heads up! I hope your bfps are just around the corner!
