Sila & Stevi- I go through a list at the end of every cycle that if I get pregnant what I did differently that could have been the cause... so far my list has a multitude of herbs/lotions/potions, vitamins/minerals/fish oil, pre-seed, diva cup, instead cup, BD patterns, Oing at the same time, staying in bed after BD, AM vs PM BD, acupucture, massage, chiropractor, meditation, yoga (bikram & vinyasa), pilates, fruit smoothies, green smoothies, decreasing sugar, decreasing carbs, eliminating processed foods, decreasing dairy, novenas, candles at church, prayer chains... I'm sure there are another 100 things I've tried, most I have not stuck with... Someday I will get to post my list of what worked the cycle I finally get pregnant. Can't wait to see your lists, hopefully very soon!

My list is pretty similar so I won't repeat lol. I'm doing all of the same things I was doing when I got pg 9 weeks ago so I don't know what i going on. Right now I'm searching for the "one thing" to get me to ovulate! I try adding or increasing or eliminating something for a few weeks but so far I haven't gotten the result I'm looking for... I will definitely post my list when it happens! Warning, it may be a long read...

Mommysince2008:  So sorry it wasnt your month!  I was thinking so positively for you!  Thinking of you and hope its your turn for a BFP very soon!

Andthestars: oh your poor friend.  It is horrible.  I couldn't even barely go out, I even had to crawl to the bathroom to pee and i'd faint in the shower everytime! I had to resign from my job and defer uni. Blah.  Next time will be very different. The worst thing is when you tell someone how sick you are and they respond with "oh yeah I had morning sickness"  Your friend probably found that too.  Hyperemisis is NOT anything like morning sickness!

Update on my TWW: I have had the flu for a few days now and I stupidly went to work a 12 hour night duty thinking I was almost better then ended up sicker than ever.  I have a bunch of symptoms but its probably all flu related.  I did have a very sudden very sharp pain in my lower abdomen while I was at work though that lasted about 5 minutes.  Not sure what that was.  Wondering when is the earliest I could test.  I'm 8DPO now and I do have a very positive feeling for this month!  How are the rest of you all going? 

[Stevi]

Wow! My fertility additions aren't as radical as you guys!!! LOL

Mine revolve mostly around supplements and a little on dietary.

Everyone, Gah!  Now you have me kicking myself that I didn't BD on Monday which I think was O+1.  DH even offered and I was tired of BD and thought we were probably good with Sunday's BD...Gah!  Let me tell you how 7-8 DPO's makes you second guess everything because it's too early to POAS and it's too late to do damn thing about anything. 

cbaa, good to see you back and I'm glad you had fun on vacation.  I moved you to Waiting to O in your absence by chart stalking.  I hope that was ok. 

fairie, yeah, after living through my friend's pregnancies, I'll never complain about feeling nausea, puking, anything during pregnancy that doesn't debilitate me.  I have a lot of sympathy.  Flu symptoms, while yucky, could be a pregnancy sign.  There's stories out the wazoo about women who thought they were out cause of a cold or flu and it was really a BFP.  FX!  When are you going to test?  I'm trying to hold out for Wednesday and than another one Friday or Sat if the first is -.  I bought a two pack and of course, they are staring at me.  I'll probably cave and POAS tomorrow morning.  Sigh. 

Stevi, so you're not even the littlest bit excited about the hot chart you're rockin'?  I know that charts aren't the end-all, be-all, but seriously, if you aren't pregnant this month, you and cbaa should petition FF for some kind of refund.   

Mommysince2008, I'm sorry to hear about the BFN.  Onward to next cycle!

Threadkeeping note:  I'll happily take next week's thread though I'll probably be late starting it tomorrow morning as fair warning.  Also, I think the lists are getting a little cluttered.  Is it rude to remove people who haven't checked in with us in the past two months?  I know that there are some who pop in every once and awhile and I'm not talking about you guys!  There are just names on there that I've never seen or 'met' and I just want to make threadkeeping easier.  Is that ok? 

[Stevi]

AndtyheStars...   As threadmistress you can pull whomever you decide. Just toss up a post saying you "cleaned up" and put back anyone who comes back and asks. It is done every so often by the threadmistress, so it won't be a problem You can also cut down the BFP list to the last 2 months, I don't think we used to go back much further than that.

As for my chart. No, the temps don't really mean much to me except to confirm ovulation. Besides, I'm too afraid of another major letdown to allow myself to get hopeful anymore.

[kittenbritches]

AndtheStars - Will you move me to the 2WW?  My thermometer is being super wonky, but I really think I O'd a few days back, so I'm going with it.  :)  

My stupid thermometer has had me so stressed out that I just ordered a new one (and some OPKs and HPTs) from Amazon for my next cycle.  IDK why I'm already counting myself out...but I do get depressed after I O, so I'm sure that's not helping things.  Progesterone makes me a depressed, witchy, PMDD-y nightmare!  

Janellody - The blue CHs mean that I manually set my O date and CL.  FF has given me CHs now, but I really just don't trust my thermometer (I never really have, TBH), so who knows what will happen?  Your temp is looking lovely today!  I bet you'll get cross-hairs tomorrow!

Hi to all of you other lovely ladies!  I've gotta get my DD in bed!  And tomorrow is DS's first day of school.  I'm not ready!!

[faerieliss]

Andthestars:  I dont know when I am going to test- I always pick a day then never wait that long ha!  I think Wednesday is probably a good choice.  If neg on wednesday then i''ll do another on the weekend.  And I agree with Stevi you should remove and then just re-add if the come back and request it.

[SilaMarila]

Andthestars - I had to resist the urge to start a new thread to do just that! (Even though I won't posting often this week, my sister is coming to visit!). But yeah, clean 'er up! Can't wait to see the shiny new thread.

faerieliss - Feel better soon! I hope it all works out for the best for you!

Stevi - Thanks, now I really feel crazy  Jk, I still love you! Cbaa, at least we'll have each other to swap lists with.

[faerieliss]

Thanks SilaMarila!  I am feeling a little better today after resting!  I think its great all the things you've been willing to try- cant say you've not tried hey!  The biggest thing I tried was chinese herbs as I am a very picky eater and I found them SOOOO disgusting!!  I would gag whenever I took it (multiple times a day!) and I gave it a few months before giving up...

[Stevi]

SilaMaria...  Hee Hee!
