October Thread Hostess: SoCaliMommy

Please put all changes in bold

The little * next to a name is just my way of keeping track if someone posts at least 1 time during the month.

I started Maca last Friday, so tomorrow (October 1st) will make it one week and I have already noticed some changes. More energy, wet/ewcm..even some that was pink-tinged!, and feeling more "in the mood". Here's to hoping!

I started Maca recently too, although I have to say i don't notice much difference yet...its been a good 2-3 weeks too! How many mg do you take?

[SoCaliMommy]

GreenMamma~ hope it helps and you end up getting a bfp

[Daisy420]

Daisy: Congratulations! I couldn't be more happy for you!! :-) Have you told DH yet? How?

Socali: Loved your idea for telling DH! Have you told him yet? How did he react?

AFM: PLease move me to to the 2 week wait! I think I am 2 dpo. I played around with future temps on FF and got crosshairs. So off to the lab I go today for a progesterone test to confirm that I did O. I'm hoping to end up in the same due date club as Daisy and Socali! A june birthday sounds lovely.

Marnica - Are you doing pills or powder? I'm taking the powder since I've read that is much more effective than the pills. And I am taking 1 Tbsp a day. Today I thought maybe I'd add the Vitex with it for the month and see if there's any change by then. Are you waiting for your first ppaf too?

Daisy - Congratulations!!!

Vegan Princess - Hope to hear of your BFP next week!

[Daisy420]

Did I miss that post?? What was ur idea for telling DH Kami? I haven't told dh yet Cindy.....he's been a little grumpy today and has a lot on his mind . I'm just waiting for a good time I guess! I have NO IDEA how I'm going to spill it yet.

Cindy~Hope ur prog test goes well, and here's to another very soon for you!!!

Thanks girls for all of your congrats .

Are you taking a powder or a tincture? Great to hear about the energy, I could sure use some of that! I've been taking some of the tincture, and have also noticed TONS more ewcm. It's giving me so much hope.

Daisy420 - Congratulations!!!! Did you do anything different this month?

VeganPrincess - Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

AFM - I had an opk that was so close to + that I'm not sure if it is or not. I marked it as - in ff, because I think it will be a complete + by this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I'm only on cd 12, so this is super early for me. I'm hoping it's not just a false start.
My baby boy (16 monthes) was up nursing all night long, darn molars, I can't wait for it to break through so we can go back to normal.

[CrunchyKatie]

mamaw/two, my youngest is 16 months as well and we're working on the molars at our house. Seems like all she wanted to do yesterday was nurse nurse nurse...

Now that my 1st ppaf is here I wonder how regular it will be... How has it been the for those of you mommas who've had your cycles back for a while now? I know everyone is different, but just curious. I'm hoping they're not like 50 days long... I am taking a B complex so we'll see how it goes I guess! CD 5, and I'm trying out this diva cup. After the first couple of days I have to say I love it! At least my periods won't be so bad in that respect.

I can't believe it is October already! So happy for you both socali and daisy!

[swimming-duck]

Daisy - Wow - you have restraint. I've never been able to keep it to myself for the slightest second when I was pregnant! Good luck with telling your DH and Congrats again!

AFM: I've started fertile cm a bit earlier this month it seems. I don't know though. I usually have a long patch of fertile cm before I O. So often my O date isn't until cd17 or 18. I'd definitely welcome an earlier O date. I guess time will tell.

I am very excited about my pre-O temps also. They're up. Normally my pre-O temps were in the 96.2-96.8 range. THIS cycle they're in the 97.2 - 97.6 range. That's after being on a thyroid medication for a few months. So I'm hoping this is the magic ticket for me. I have to admit that I feel much more hopeful this cycle than I have past cycles.

In fact, I was so NOT hopeful that I avoided all TTC online groups. But I feel ready for this now. And I know that I'm new here, but I feel like everyone's been pretty friendly thus far. Thanks!

Congratulations Daisy!!
Socalimommy, did i miss you bfp??? Congratulations!!!!!!!

My chart link for the list!

Updated List To Here



Jessica~ I knit a little onesie that was ment to hold a gift card and stuck the test inside it and on the back i used a safety pin to pin on a paper that had the edd written on it.


Cindy~ that you get a bfp.


contactmaya~ i had posted it yesterday.

CrunchyKatie~ I know after my daughter i started having 28day- 30 day cycles pretty soon after that first af. before i got pregnant with her my cycles were in the 35day range.


I think it's safe to say it's offical so far .... took a digital this afternoon and saw Pregant sent the picture in a text message to dh lol since he wasn't sure about the faint line from yesterday. I almost told my mom this morning at breakfast but didn't.

I'm using 3,000mg of the pills....Geez i bought 3 bottles. I hope it's effective??
As for AF, no way. Ive had AF back for over a year! I'm also taking Vitex. Have been taking that for about 1.5 cycles now.

[Marnica]

Ok ladies,

Im super confused here.

I got crosshairs on FF that has me Oing on Tuesday. My first temp spike was tuesday morning. I got a positive OPK tuesday night (didn't take one on the am) and a negative one on wednesday night. I went for tests at the docs on Tuedsday morning around 11 am. She told me that I hadn't O'd yet, but I could expect to within the next day or 2 based on what she was seeing in the ultra sound and my labwork.

So this info is contradictory. She told me I wasn't going to O until wed or thursday, yet FF has me Oing on tuesday. Here is my chart and Im afraid if FF is correct, our timing was OFF yet again. SIGH What do you all think?

[Vegan Princess]

Marnica - was your temp abnormal for some reason on day 16? If you discard that temp, it might move your O date to the next day. But it is also possible that you had a dip that is common right before ovulation. My temp almost always dips on the day that I O. Perhaps you O'd later in the day - after your appointment. I suppose later in the day could fall in the realm of in the next day or two? Without discarding, I would go with FF.

Cindy

[SoCaliMommy]

Marnica~ I'd probably agree with your FF chart on O day, it probably happened later that day.

[lifeguard]

Daisy - congrats!!!!

Socalimommy - that is such a cute way of telling! I'm not that creative.

AFM - I got an appt with the fertility clinic for Nov. 1 (one month from now). I could have gotten in earlier but with dh's dad being sick it hasn't been worth it - too much going on. FIL passed away this aft so we'll see what the next few weeks hold.
