Hi ladies, I’m back in a new cycle. Last cycle I had several faint positive tests that needed up being nothing. With everything happening with Covid, our fertility office was closed, so I wasn’t able to start another attempt at an IUI (would’ve been #6), but I stayed on my Metformin 2,000 and my vitamins. I think I ovulated, though I am not 100% sure. I never get positive tests, the office always knew after ultrasounds and progesterone level tests. Still, my husband and I gave it a shot and found time to baby dance 3 times during ovulation, which was Easter weekend. Then, we got terrible news. Our RE (reproductive endocrinologist) passes away in his sleep (non-Covid related). We were just devastated. Luckily our office is so amazing and already found a dr to take over the practice. I know it will be a while before we will get to meet this new dr, so maybe in the meantime, we can make things happen on our own. I’m currently 10 DPO and might see a very faint line on my test.

I hope everyone is staying healthy during this crazy time

MrsB Not testing early is the best thing. You’re avoiding so much obsession and disappointment from a possible false early negative result. Fingers crossed that AF will stay away.
As for Maca personally I chose the powder form but I know people are taking tablets as well. For me the taste isn’t so bad tbh and if I mix it with my oatmeal it even make it taste better. Hubby cannot stand it lol

Nasake welcome back! Thank you for your recommendations about supplements and I really hope this cycle will be a good one for you and give you your bfp!
So sorry about the incident with your dog. This must be so scary! Hopefully it will never happen again!

Rak hi again! So sorry about your RE. This is very sad..
I really hope you and your husband will have a naturally successful cycle before you even need to meet the new Dr. fingers crossed!

I had a chat with hubby. Bottom line is he still doesn’t want to try IUI or anything like it. So that’s for me.. probably and most likely I will try naturally till I hit menopause and after that i will have a wound in my heart for the rest of my life...

Morning ladies. I hope AF stayed away for those who may be expecting her ugly face any day now. I was really thinking of testing this morning but I think I may be too early. My temp stayed the same as yesterday; 98.1 and not sure about anything at the moment as I am lacking the important ones like the frequent urination. My expected period is April 28.

@Alex. I buy the maca capsules as there hardly is any taste to it. Maybe hubby would try that.

@Rak. So sorry about your RE. I hope you guys caught the egg in time and you get a positive.

@Naske. So truely sorry about what happened to your dog. Dog owners should really keep their dog tied up. I was taking my 18month old son for a walk and same thing, this dog kept barking at him with his back up and he's liking dogs now. I don't want to hurt the poor dog but I will protect my son. This world has gone crazy, over the weekend; this denturist dressed up as an RCMP, turned his car into a RCMP and went on a rampage killing over 17 people (himself included and a RCMP officer). I wish this whole pandemic was over but I read on FB that in the winter time it will have the flu plus the COVID but it will be twice as strong as it is now.

Hi I'm new here ???? I'm one day late for my period and I received my Internet cheapie today. Not currently charting but my first baby took 15 months to conceive. I've attached my test for you to give your opinions on because I trust your eyes more than my husbands. Just to add its an ebay cheapie which I've heard are unreliable so not getting my hopes up. Took within one minute of taking the test. Thanks ladies.

Alex I'm gonna hold you in my thoughts and send you all the positive vibes for future BFP I still have the feeling in my heart that you will become a mother, it's even more real than my own hope for myself, so that's kinda weird

Dragonfly crossing my fingers for your BFP!!

Laudan I think it clearly is BFP, so exciting! I would want to say congrats already

Atm I'm just waiting for AF to show up, we only BD two times around ovulation this month, and I'm even not sure I ovulated. I was too down to take any test, and I didn't had common ovary pain or anything, not even CM, only one day a little bit. So it's been weird month overall. I ordered babystart lube too, but I'm very sensitive and it seems likes it doesn't fit for me. I've tried so many, but none of them seems right for me.

And I must say, I'm so thankful for that community here. The one what I got in my country is really sucky, ,people there are jumping at eachother and being mean. So this community here really helps me a lot, and I'm thankful we have a safe place to share our feelings and thoughts with eachother

AF showed her ugly face today . TBH... I dont like to test because I've never felt different enough to think I was pregnant. I didnt really have pms symptoms until after I got off bc (IUD). When I was younger, I was not on bc and my pms sign were literally just acne. The only bc I've ever been on is the IUD which I had for 6 years. oh well.. CD 1 today. Good luck and baby dust to those that are still in their TWW!

@MrsBC. So sorry AF showed up. Crossing my fingers for this cycle.

@Nasake. Thank you! I am in the same boat as you. We only BD once (CD10; around 9pm) this cycle and I think I ovulated on CD15 maybe during the night as my temp went straight up the next day. Sperm can live up to 5 days inside a women's body. AF is due next Tuesday and I had a temp dip on CD21 and temps are still above coverline. What ia Babystart? Is that like Preseed?

MrsBC I'm so sorry, I hope this new cycle is gonna end with BFP for you.

Dragonfly Yes it's similar to preseed but without parabens. I've tried preseed too, but it didn't fit for me either, made intercourse uncomfortable after few minutes of BDing.

@Nasake. Yes, I agree. My husband didn't like the Preseed either. Said it was too slippery. I may look into Babystart and see if I can get it somewhere. Here's hoping AF stays away and you get your BFP.
