Hello all,
I've been lurking for a couple days, since a friend suggested I come here. I was complaining about how hard it is to stay quiet about TTC on FB and stuff, and she said she found these forums to be great for those times she wanted to vent or get advice, but wanted to do so pseudo-anonymously.
I'm 32, TTC for the first time with my DH. We are aware that taking the uber-responsible route and waiting this long might make it a longer road for us, but I'm cool with that. I have a history of PCOS, but recent blood tests indicate that I might have outgrown it. My periods are still irregular, but I decided to try a few cycles au-naturale, just taking some herbal combos that are supposed to promote ovulation instead of taking clomid. This is my first month charting with FF, and it looks like I might have ovulated around Day 19, which is good because DH and I were mighty "busy" that day!
I am now 8 dpo and my lower abdomen is bloated, I am waking in the middle of the night (which I NEVER do), having crazy vivid dreams, and have sore breasts and frequent urination. However, all of these things can be talked away. I've been drinking alot more water this week, so that could explain the urination increase. I'm hoping to maybe be preggo, so that could explain the dreams and the waking in the night. And maybe all of the other things are chalked up to me just being more aware of my body. My temperatures are "sort of" following that pregnant pattern, but there is one dip (too early to be implantation) that doesn't really make sense, so it makes me doubt.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and that I hope to have some good news to relate to the group, even if it's not this cycle.
