Neomasie-Evening Primrose Oil has been shown to help in the production of fertile cervical fluid in such circumstances. ... Note that Evening Primrose Oil should only be taken from menstruation to ovulation, as EPO may cause uterine contractions. The dosage taken should be 1500mg to 3000mg per day. Hope that helps, I believe it helps with hormone balance as well.

Twwtoolong- hey was wondering about you! Glad to hear you will O soon!

Hi Ladies!! Looks like the site is back up and running. I have been missing my daily check ins with everyone so I'm glad to see it back up. This new format is going to take some getting used to but it does look a lot more modern/updated with these internet times we live in.

Update: I started using OPK's today on CD9. Got a low but I was expecting that. If cycle goes as normal I should see highs for a few days now and then a peak sometime on CD14 or 15. I'm nervous about timing as it looks like DH is working two twelve hour shifts on my O day and the day after... That means we'll have to work extra hard to get those three days in a row around O day. I looked back on my charts and we don't seem to be BDing on O day so maybe that is what we need.

In other news my twin sister is taking her nexplanon out on the 30th and they are ttc for baby #2 starting after that. She got pregnant on the first try with baby #1 so I'm sure that will happen for her again. Hopefully our babies will be weeks apart and we can both be happy and pregnant together! Looking forward to chatting with you all again!

Hi Ladies,
I'm super excited to be starting TTC!!! I've started reading through but there's a bit to catch up on so I'll keep reading when I can.

This would be baby number 4 for us!! I never thought I would want 4, but I really do! My cycle is all over the place still (I have a 6 month old) and my partner works FIFO so I am fully prepared for it to take some time. Which Im ok with as a 15 month gap kind of terrifies me, but my partner thinks we should just go for it.
I'm CD1 and have some opks to use to see where I am at. We would love to try for a girl. Is anyone going to be gender swinging? What methods are you using?

Welcome Mistique! I'm trying to do the SMEP. This is our first time ttc and we are on our 5th cycle trying now. I'm not doing any gender swinging I just want that sperm to find that egg!! I chart my BBT and this will be our second cycle using preseed. How soon did it take you to conceive your other babies once you started trying?

Twwtoolong - we had our financial consultation and our insurance makes us do 4 IuI before ivf!! 4!!! Ugh. So we have to get genetic counseling this cycle, I have to have a saline sonogram and DH has to have his second semen analysis (first was back in September), then we plan to do the first iui the first week of March.

11 dpo today, brown spotting today and BFN. I have cramping too so I’m assuming AF is just arriving a bit early this month.

Hey everyone!
I’m 7dpo today. Had some bloodwork done today to see if I ovulated. I won’t be able to get results till Monday.
I want to test Sunday...I will be 9dpo.. I don’t think I can wait any longer!

Hey ladies! Still trying to figure out this website as I’m doing mobile currently. Hope everyone is doing fine. I’m trying to really relax this time.

Oh just was told uncle and Wife are having a GIRL!

Welcome back everyone! Those few down days were killers lol

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm SheRiskers but it wouldn't allow me to login no matter what I tried so I had to make a new account booo.

Anyhow... I'm now 3/4DPO and not feeling much... Some cramping/twinges, fatigue, and hunger but that's not out of the norm. C'mon TWW!

Sheriskers I had to change my password...it wouldn't let me log in with my password and I know it was right - weird! Sorry you lost your profile I hope you didn't rely on it for tracking etc if you do that

Well it's been a minute for me lol maybe since the first page? Lol I clicked on the link to see the new reply and it took me to the first page...that's kind of annoying as before it would take you to the page where the last reply is.

Anyways!! Lol I'm 6 or 7dpo - I did not use OPK this month...I'm just trying not to over analyze everything and my cycles are pretty regular and I do get ovulation symptoms so I decided not to this month. I'll be testing in a few days..good luck to everyone (ok now I'm looking for a spot to add my signature?!?) maybe it will automatically?

Hi ladies
I had to change my correct password too.
Any one got BFP yet?
I’m waiting for ovulation and so far we managed to be every other day since My period finished .
I just realised preseed is the first response in Australia . I had a small pack of it that came with ovulation tests and I used it last cycle along with conceive plus . I think I need to get one with applicator . Conceive plus is too sticky and icky .
Good luck to everyone who’s baby dancing , I hope the speeded are strong enough to get into the eggs . Have a lovely weekend guys
