I'm sorry love . Big hugs going your way!

Temp dropped again today. Monitor predicts the end of my cycle in two days. I’m feeling pretty discouraged, and I’ll have to get through Saturday’s baby shower. I’m wondering if I should talk to my dr.

Miam - I've been on the up and up. I lost 53.2 pounds so far and feeling pretty good. Dh and I dtd today and we're still at the if it happens, happens point because trying purposely is just taking the fun out of dtd..
O day is in about 4 days and today Ive felt lots of twinges.

Hberry- congratulations that is amazing! Lots of hard work I bet.
Fingers crossed for you.

AFM- 7dpo I had a slight temp drop this morning. I have been having some cramps and tons of pinches and pokes for the last 2 days. Really hoping it's a good sign, but really don't want want to get my hopes up.

Where is everyone else at?

Waiting for AF. Being sick last month caused me to ovulate wayyy later. Not sure when exactly. Thinking about calling my clinic and going ahead with an IUI this month. I was gonna wait because we got Vacation x 2 in June.

Millbarnett-I feel silly asking this but what is IUI?

Hi ladies. Have been MIA for a while. Not much to update with here. I'm around 2 dpo so far. I started usin ashwagandha like a week and a half ago and are starting to feel much better. I'm kind of surprised at how much it has helped me in the short time I've used it. Now I'll keep my fingers crossed it may help with getting pregnant too. If not, then I have already ordered some more and also maca root combined with rose root. Me and my husband have decided that if we haven't gotten pregnant after the summer, then it's time to seek some help.

@ Miam, it's an Intrauterine insemination. I live in the Midwest and an IUI generally runs about $800 for everything. Cycle is with clomid. Then a ultrasound of the follicles, then the Insemination. The literally take hubby's sperm, wash it, and take the sample and use a catheter to put it directly in the uterus. Giving swimmers a better chance not having to go through the cervix. Also, the sample is all the best swimmers. Only the progressive mobile ones!

Pandorica- that sounds promising for you.

Millbarnett- wow that's cool kinda expensive but thats makes sense for all they have to do.
with whatever you choose.

AFM- 9dpo I had another rise in temps not a whole lot but really praying the the temp dip at 7dpo was implantation. I have had a few symptoms here and there but dont really want to get too excited. I might test tomorrow but just depends on what time I wake up.

Good luck, ladies! It sounds like there’s a lot of positivity this month!
AF started for me in the early hours of Thursday morning- three days early. Cycles seem to be getting shorter and shorter. I’m not using soy isoflavons this month, so not sure what my body is going to do. I also got ashwaganda! I’m hoping it helps. I was taking it when I conceived my daughter, so I’m hoping it helps this time too.
