The EPO Experiment Chapter 3

View Full Post

Since we filled 15 pages already, it's time to begin a new thread and to welcome anyone interested in joining our supportive and hilarious group of epo researchers.

For those who are new, I think it's appropriate to give a little spiel:
EPO is supposed to help create more cm when taken from cycle days 1- Ov. Stop taking it from Ov until your next cycle, which we all hope to ride through with warmer temps, high high cervixes and a BFP, not to mention love and support.
Some folk switch to flax oil after Ov, but some of us just quit and hope for the best.

So let's hear your personal experience with the epo journey to success!

Here's to another chapter!

Joy, thank you so much! How are you doing?

I'm still taking it easy. The last two nights I have been very "in the mood" for Bd and the hubs has been to tired. Mentally, I know O is about to happen but I, also, know that I wasn't going to force BD around O time either. So, secretly I'm hoping my DH will be in the mood tonight just cause I know it's getting closer to O.

Looks like I just had a major "O" cramp. It lasted for atleast 10+ minutes but as finally settled down. Egg bursting, maybe??? Fx'd we catch this eggie. I'm going to pounce on my Dh when he gets home.

bug - LoL! Good luck pouncing!! I hope you catch that eggie!!

I am thinking we might be cycle twins this go around, cause I am definitely in my fertile week and had some o-type cramping yesterday and today. Plus lots of cm! (That is probably partly due to the Robitussin I have been taking for my cold too tho!)

We arent ttc this cycle though... it's not as bad as I thought it would be cause I have been able to throw myself into the holiday season! I've done Christmas shopping, wrapping, decorating, etc! LoL!

This weekend is a busy one too - I will be tabulating at a cheerleading competition tomorrow, then packing in the evening, and heading on a trip to Grand Forks with my Mom & Grandparents. SO excited!! Havent gone down south in like 3 years!!

Hope you're having a great day!
to you all!
Joy

Bug: Hope your pouncing was successful! :)

Joy: Have an amazing trip! Sounds like it will be a good one - rejuvenating and what a great memory to have with your parents and grandparents.

AFM: Well, Not much. 7DPO. Just been having some weird pokes/stabs in my gut. Not sure what that's all about. I have also woken up the last two mornings feeling a little nauseous, but fall back asleep because I'm too tired to deal with it. During the day I'm fine though. Also been having some dizzy spells while I'm sitting down not doing much of anything. Interesting.
Well - I have a busy weekend and none too exciting.

Have a great day!

Hi ladies

I apologize for being MIA on this thread. I've had a lot going on the last week or so...I still think of y'all and pray for y'all every day! I hope y'all don't mind if I jut pick up here?

I'm on CD 1 today and I will be doin soy isoflavones this cycle. Praying by some miracle I get a BFP for christmas...but given my cycle history those will be some slim odds!!!

Have a nice day ladies
Love Shea

OMG girls! I got a BFP this morning!

You're the first place I've turned (dh is on an ambulance call), so excuse my scatteredness.

Um, as I was telling you earlier this tww whizzed by since I was traveling on the coast. I'm going to conjure up all the symptoms I can for you though.

First here's a list of things I did this FP:

Ate organic pink grapefruit for brekkie a few times
Took vitamin D, Zinc, EPO, bee pollen, and B complex with 800mg of folic acid.

Drank vitex and wild yam tea (not much and not every day, more like three times during FP only)

Drank green tea with mint Yum!

I think I O'd on cd 16, and we bd'd on cd 15 before I left for the coast.

Symptoms:

I ignored the first week of tww because I was pretty busy with work. But I did get a cold that has been hanging around.

I noticed a metallic taste in my mouth on 6dpo.
I normally don't gag while brushing my teeth, but I have been for the last week.

The last two days (cd 29-30 of 28 day average cycle) my bbs have started to ache and a few times I felt flushed, but didn't pay much attention because we've had the woodstove going :)

Honestly, I took the test this morning because my dh has the night off and I wanted to have some wine with him. My AF was two days late so I thought I'd just make sure... Guess I won't be having any wine for a while :)

Okay, so now what do I do??

Oh Bee, I'm so happy for you! That's wonderful!

Good Morning Ladies:

It's so wonderful to finally see someone in our "ole school" team get a BFP.

A girl I work with has been trying for 15 years more or less and got her BFP a week ago.

Anyway - does anyone have a boston terrier here? I have a 2yo girl and she recently got the worst chapped lips. I don't know what to do for her because all she does is lick her lips. Then last night he was throwing up - I had to give her Pepto. Poor thing.
