The *frisky* ONE Thread ~May 22-28~ - Page 7

PrenatalCoach - Whew, I was so worried I was going to freak you out and make you even more anxious during your TWW! But I had to mention it and since I don't have experience w/ LP spotting I just knew Sourire would chime in  I'm glad you have at least tried (almost) everything. Since you have a good LP (TenzinsMama, yes, 10days minimum is considered long enough to conceive)  I'm hoping it won't hinder your TTC! I'm a firm believer in acupuncture - I have used it in the past for non TTC issues and just started again last week w/ a Dr. that specializes in fertility (she was actually also a gyno in her country, Iran). 

TenzinsMama and Odinsmommy - yay for joining/almost joining us all in waiting to know! Catch those eggs!

WildDoula - enjoy your time off and best of luck. Hope to see you around again soon feeling refreshed and ready.

Sourire - no spotting yet?

AFM - My testing plans? Waiting until (I think) AF is late. Last cycle I had a random 13 day LP. Shortest EVER. It's always been 16. So I'm planning on waiting until at least 14dpo if not longer...I have 2 $ store tests...If I get to test, I will most likely wait until one of DH's off days

I was taking 50mg. I did notice less CM around O... a known side effect of Clomid is that it reduces fertile CM, but that may also be because I wasn't doing as good a job keeping hydrated... usually I drink about 1.5L of tea per day when I am at work, but the day I O'ed was the day after a 3-day weekend and all weekend I was too busy to drink very much, I might have had about 1 glass of water the whole day on each of those 3 days and I know that how much you drink definitely has an effect on the quantity of CM you produce.

Wow, I worked a long day today and it seems I've missed a bunch! More importantly, can I say how much I love the in-depth talk about CM and EWCM and sperm? There is no one IRL that is willing to debate the point, and I was just having the same conversation in my head today. It is so stinkin' nice to come here and find other women on the same page.

So, based on the discussions of EWCM and today's evidence I don't think I'm testing until June 8. I think I'm 3DPO and that would be 14 DPO (ish) and I'm hoping that's right. It seems SO far away!

[skerries]

SilaMarila - I tested last Wednesday at 7 DPO and got the expected BFN.  I had to go on a business trip after that and I get home tomorrow morning, so I'm not sure if I'll test again tomorrow (11 DPO, but wouldn't be with FMU) or Monday (12 DPO with FMU).  AF is due on Monday or Tuesday and I've been feeling a little off, but I'm not sure if it's just hopes getting up or stress!

Not in the TWW yet to join this thread :) but seen a couple people mention the spotting before AF...have you tried using progesterone cream?? Spotting before AF can be a sign of low progesterone.

[Sourire]

treehugginhippie - you don't have to be in the TWW to join, you are welcome anytime!

I have tried natural progesterone cream, but unfortunately it did not solve my problem.

I am still nursing. However, my period returned with DS when he was 10 months old and was regular for the next 12 months. Then, I think I had a chemical pregnancy that resulted in a 42 day "cycle" and was followed by another 42 day cycle. There's been a lot of stress with my family so I assumed that the stress had caught up with me. 

DS is still a frequent nightnurser and waker though. I don't know if I'm have ovulatory cycles or not as this is my first cycle temping. However, I've had positive OPKs the past two cycles so I'm assuming I have been ovulating. 

Here's to hoping we nursing mommas can get our BFPs soon as well as all the others TTC.

Here's hoping for each of us!!!!!!!

I know! I love the internet :)

Totally off topic here... but I just finished my huge project of designing my wedding photo album and I am so proud of my work that I wanted to share it! You can flip through the book here if you are interested (though its too small to read any of the text).

Seriously! Having a debate about particular consistencies and signs is far more fun with you guys.

What a great album Sourire! You were such a beautiful bride, and I just love outdoor ceremonies. How long did it take you to put the album together?

[cygknit]

You look gorgeous, Souire! The photobook is fantastic, and looks finer than many I've seen.  Also, forgive me for posing the whole error message, it cracked me up and I had to share.

[Stevi]

[Sourire]

Thanks for all the compliments on my photos :) It took me about 3 full days to go through the thousands of pictures we got from the photographer and design the whole album (thank god for long weekends).

NEW THREAD IS UP!!!! Please post in this thread from now on.

[treehugginhippie]

Sourire: Awww...too bad, thought I'd suggest it. And thanks, I'll be checking in on the new thread :)
