Velveteen...
we seem to be cycle buds.

How the puppers ??
did you settle on a name ??

[SagMom]

Polka, Velveteen,

Have a migraine today-- a good indicator that tomorrow will prob be cd1 for me, so I'm sure I'll be joining you. sigh.

[Velveteen]

Thanks Polka....., and Joan, I'm still holding out for you.

No, I haven't named the puppy yet. I don't get him for two more weeks, because he's got to grow up a little more. My friends dog is named Napoleon, so that name is out.

Here are some of our ideas:

My favorites are: Stormy
Dash
Ace
Fudge
Gulliver
Rascal
Inky

Nope. It's cd1 for me.

[Mom4tot]

Hugs Polka, Velveteen and Joan I'm sorry.

I am day 26 and getting crabbier by the minute. This could last 2 more days or 5...who knows?? No cramps yet, but that doesn't mean much for me.

Thanks for being here

Sorry to hear it's CD1 for you 3. I always make sure to have wine and margaritas in the days before o, that seems to help. :LOL

I have not read the Taking Charge book. Guess I will get on that next time I'm at the book store - maybe this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion!

Started my progesterone this morning and it makes me crabby. DH came home from work and remembered pretty quickly that it was the day to start. Poor guy.

I'm leaning towards shots of whiskey @ this point :LOL

Has anyone ever tried Vitex? I'm going to try it starting this month and of course, I'm kicking myself now for not having started it sooner, since it takes a few months to see the effects.

Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with it.

[Velveteen]

Joan, I started taking supplements after five months ttc, so nearly a year now I've been taking Vitex.
It does take several months to be effective. Don't be surprised if you lp either lengthens or shortens at first, and then it will even out. They call it the natural Clomid!
Susan Weed is a good one to look up for herbal advice, and momma kath at the ttc site is a good place to look for herbal advice too. wwwtryingtoconceive.com

day 29...

[SagMom]

Thanks, Velveteen!

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH Joan---when are you testing?

[Mom4tot]

Oh, Joan, not for a week probably :LOL I just take each day...each hour and bathroom trip I don't feel any paticular symptoms, either, so I don't know. I'll keep you posted!

[SagMom]

Well, my fingers are crossed for you, Joan.

So, I just looked over my charts since the miscarriage. The last 6 cycles look like this:

O day 30, Luteal phase of 13 days

O day 15, LP of 16 days

O day 7, LP of 11 days

O day 8, LP of 16 days

O day 11, LP of 16 days

O day 11, LP of 13 days

Do you think the Vitex would help to even things out? I know it's not the most erratic set of cycles ever seen, but it couldn't hurt, right?

[polka123]

worth a shot IMO

[Mom4tot]

Cd 2 for me.

It came yesterday afternoon.

[Shakti]

Popping in to say "Hi!" We have been extremely busy building our new house, but now we have moved in!!! About 4 weeks ago, actually. Still decompressing after a year of designing, moving, building, and moving again. We missed last month, but we are still trying. Hope to time it just right this month. But... oh, that means we actually have to BD, something we are out of the habit of doing!

I haven't read the whole thread to get caught up, but I am sorry to see some familiar names here - I was hoping some of you would be on the pregnancy boards. But I am glad that you are all still supporting each other here.

Baby dust to all!

[SagMom]

I'm sorry, Joan.

That's...what...4 or 5 of us on the same schedule? Maybe there will be luck in numbers for next month.

[Mom4tot]

Hi Shakti, I was just thinking about you, from the original thread

Joan, yes, we are on the same cycle, strange, huh? Do phernomes (sp??) travel through cyberspace? I started feeling sick out grocery shopping on Sun. I thought I was going to faint. Dh got me some water and we headed home. I didn't even have cramps at that point. Af came a few hours later, ugh.
