John 16n33, I'm sorry you're frustrated about your temps. Yeah, it's weird how some months are crazy and others are so smooth! I don't think it means all that much, though - just ask Ava's mom
I hope it works for you! Oh, and I'm not sure if you were the one asking about this, but for EWCM, I read on here somewhere that raw carrots help. I felt like before TTC I often noticed plenty of it, and then the first few months TTC -- when I was looking for it -- it seemed much less than I remembered. Thing is, I used to eat raw carrots all the time, like apples - just munch on them. But I hadn't for those first few months TTC. Then, last month and this month I made a point of it and WOW - big difference. Of course, who knows what's what, but it's an easy try. If this month isn't luck for you, maybe give it a try the week up to O next cycle?!
Congrats Hibiscus mom!! That's very exciting!...
Ava's mom, so interesting about your chart! So glad it worked for you, though! Good thing you can get some clarity now (funny though).
Samantha, I'm sorry you feel bummed! There's so much info to be learned in this community, though, and so many women who support each other. The first month we actively tried, I was surprised it didn't work, the second I was really bummed. But learning from women who have tried for a long time and seeing so many of them get pregnant is really helpful to me. I'm into my fifth cycle actively trying with great timing (after a couple of months "kinda trying"). It has been a longer journey than I expected, too. But it is great to have camaraderie -- I'm glad you're here!
Thank you so much mamaforever! You're so sweet to chart-stalk me (Ooh, that sounds funny!!!) In the car today, my DH actually asked about you. I mean, he said, "How's your cycle-buddy?" Around the time of our BFPs, I had told him I had a cycle buddy get a BFP right around the same time. At the time, I thought he thought I'm a little nuts...
... but today, I thought it was really sweet/funny. So anyway, just know that my DH is glad for your great numbers and FXed for your sticky bean!! That's great that you've got such strong symptoms. I mean, not great - but I think you catch my drift! I hope your new midwife is great! Is it for a home birth? I can't remember if you've said. Keep us posted! And I'll feel a lot better about Oing if I can get a nice strong dark OPK like last cycle (had been my first good one yet!). I'm kinda happy that it's not on the early side because I spotted for so damned long, I know it'd be slim pickin's there to implant - though I probably shouldn't have gotten DH amped for a BD marathon 'til I had a better sense of when I'd O. He's kinda like, so, where's the starting line?
