Unfortunately AF showed up today 1-2 days early. So now I'm starting with my combo of ashwagandha, rose root and maca root.

Pandorica: I'm sorry girl! That really sucks. I hope your herbs help! Today is O day so tomorrow the wait begins. I'm hoping I can stay distracted with move stuff much like I did when my daughter was conceived. And that the stress of it doesn't KEEP me from conceiving as we all know it can. Lots to get packed up for storage. Gotta wash all the winter gear before it can be stored in plastic totes and whatnot. So many things to get done!

Good luck with your move, Southern! Moving is super stressful, but also exciting so I hope it balances for you.
I’m 3dpo right now, and it’s going be a loooong two weeks. SIL is due in three weeks, so there is that to look forward to.

Vintage: when I got pregnant with my daughter I was preparing for a move as well. It's funny how things are kinda cyclical. I'm about 2dpo today. So about 11 or 12 days left before I know if we were successful this time. I hope the later O gave me a nice, healthy egg lol!

I can't even believe I'm typing this. I got a blaring positive opk on cd 10. All but positive I popped the egg today on cd 11. I'm just flabbergasted.... Last month I did a clomid cycle to prepare for IUI. I got terribly ill and had to cancel. My ovulation was so off, like a week late. And my period was late, which verified it. Don't know if it was the clomid or the fact that I ran a fever for 10 days straight that delayed O. And now this month I ovulate in CD 11??? We Bd'd two days before the positive test , the day of positive test, and the day after. I know we covered bases, but I'm not too optimistic about this cycle with Ovulating so stinking early. Plan on doing an IUI next month after vacation.

Millbarnett: being sick can definitely mess up your cycle. It's actually very possible to get pregnant with ovulation that early. At least you were using OPKs and know about it! I know you said you weren't optimistic but if you managed to have sex the right days then I say you've got as much a chance as any other month where you ovulate more mid-cycle.

I hope so!

So I don't wanna get my hopes up too much but..... I may have had implantation bleeding? I'm not sure! I've never had it so I wouldn't know! I was checking cm internally because if I don't I'll never know because it all hangs out around my cervix. I check and there's this speck of red. I get it on some toilet paper and can see it is blood! Just a single speck! Then later on that evening I check internally again except I use toilet paper so I can really tell. And again, another couple specks of blood in the cm! Nothing since! I'm about 7 dpo so I was 6 dpo yesterday. There's a small possibility I may actually have been 7 dpo but I'm getting on the side of earlier. Anyway, this is my 8th cycle ttc for #2 and even when ttc my first this is the first time I've had any sort of blood this far away from AF. Can implantation bleeding be just a speck of blood or two in cm and then nothing? So unnoticeable that I only saw it because I was checking cm?

Southern, I really hope so!!! Do you have anything else happening?
I’m 8dpo, and I’ve got brain fog (probably due to over-working more than anything else) and pretty intense bloating. I can’t seem to do anything about it the last two days.

Hey ladies.. sorry I have been MIA lately. My son turned 4 so we were just going crazy all week. Lol I have read up i hope you all are doing well.

Southernmama and vintage- fingers crossed for you both

Millbarnett- really hoping everything goes well for you.

AFM- nothing much going on still waiting to ovulate. Im taking this month off of temping and ovulation kits. Seeing if things just happen. Fingers crossed ????
