TTC'rs ,Charters and Chart Cheerleaders! 2010~

to 2010 ladies.A new year, a new decade and a new chance to get what you want,be what you want and start over.

Baby dust to all you 'ers and regular cycle dust to all those not LOL

Good luck ladies,watchin you and wishin you all the best!

Thanks for the new thread Angel! Thought I would start with a new post in here!

Beth, I see your temps are still up, so that is good. I am so glad this cycle if finally doing something for you! What is your plan for next cycle? My fingers are infinitely crossed for you!!

Princess - any signs or symptoms from you as of yet or are you still bding to try and catch that eggie? I hope that you conceive as quickly as you did before.

AFM, I still can't tell if O might be soon for me or not. The HSG has confused things for me because of all the ewcm I have been having this past week, which I don't usually have for this long or for this early. I have also had tender BBs and some cramping, so I have no idea what is going on. I am going to keep trying to bd every other day to keep my bases covered just in case this might be it?!

Come on 2010 s!!

This could be good Lindzee, maybe you are ovulating earlier this month. I hope so as your timing would be great!

I am almost 100% sure it is after my temp rise this morning! I am sure I O'ed late last night because that is when the cramping was the worst. Might bd one more time today just in case those eggies are still hanging around. interested to see what my temp will be tomorrow! Thanks for thinking of me Emma!! I am loving that i am Oing earlier this month, WAY better than CD 28 huh??

Beth, how are you? You haven't been around much, I miss your messages!

OOooh, I hope we see a temp that high tomorrow too Lindzee! Lookin' Good!

Nothing new with me. Still playing around, trying to get my new computer to my liking (having some IE8 isses which are driving me crazy). Back to work but boss is on vacation AGAIN! Hey, maybe I have PMS and that's why I'm irritable today! Too funny....it's been so long I've forgotten! LMAO! I'm still amazed that my temp went up and stayed up. I guess I was just thinking it never would. I wish temps somehow correlated to how good the egg is/how strong the ovulation is.

Beth, thanks for the reply! I hope there will be another temp rise tomorrow as well. I am pretty sure there will be. Let's hope it is a good one. I am kind of upset that we didn't get in as much bding as last cycle, but this early [er, normal?!?!] time of O caught me off guard! :S Sheesh. Let's hope the HSG did the trick and I will be one of those lucky ones to get a after it!

Ooooh, how is your new comp? What kind did you get? I don't have to put up with IE 8, I love my firefox!! Have you tried it before? I would suggest trying it out! I totally agree with you - I think temp should tell us more than just O, like how good/strong of an O it was would be great!! LOL!

Hubby bought me a new Dell (I picked it out). I wasn't going for the name, just looking for something that fit my needs. So instead of measly 512MB of RAM, I now have 4GB. Instead of a 40gig hard drive with external drives of 80 and 250, I now have a 640gig internal hard drive. I forget what the old processor is and what the new one is, but it's definitely faster! I bought my last computer in 2000 so it was time.

I've never used Foxfire, but I know 24P and Leeaman both like it.

Yeah, so I can ovulate on my own. BUT....last spring I had my progesterone tested during an unmedicated cycle that I knew I ovulated during, and it was only 5.5. Not good enough for conception. Ever since then I've been afraid I'll never have an egg good enough.

Congrats on ovulating on day 16 Lindzee, that's brill! Hope it's a case of new year....new baby xxx

Oooooh, I forgot to check your chart Lindzee! YAY for CD16! That's a big improvement.....hope you and DH caught the egg!

I'm 8DPO today. I still have some of those Momma Kath supplements that I never finished taking. I just got too tired of taking so many pills and obviously it wasn't really helping my cycle (lol!). But I did continue taking DHEA in the AM. There's some research that suggests DHEA can help ovarian function in older women. I'm wondering if that is what kickstarted ovulation. I guess I'm just so amazed that I ovulated since I did fertility meds, accupuncture, and supplements and it STILL didn't happen. I think the times I've ovulated totally on my own, without even acupuncture, are very few. Maybe once or twice? Think I'll continue with the DHEA and I'll start up the remaining supplements when the next cycle starts. Not sure if they're really helping but the Vitamin E, fish oil, and EPO/Flax seed oil seem to make my complexion nicer!

I think I posted this link before. It's interesting.

Looked at the thread Beth and it sounds positive. Are you going to carry on with the femera as well?

No. Even if I could get another prescription, I've had two disaster cycles so I think I'm done with it. One was 36 days and annovulatory. This current cycle was also a Femara cycle but no ovulation until CD58(!) and I'm pretty sure Femara had nothing to do with it. I'm CD66 now. I think the meds is just making things worse (didn't even think that was possible!).

Hi Girls!

Emma, thanks for noticing my chart and the congrats for my O on CD 16!! I can't quite believe I o'ed that early considering last month was CD 28?! Craziness.

Beth, I agree, don't do the femara again, it didn't seem to help you at all. Yes, I remember you posting about the DHEA before and it does sound promising. Perhaps that is what helped you O in this cycle?! I think you should take the rest of your supplements to finish them off and hey, a nice complexion sure is a good side effect! I am excited for you for this next cycle!
I hope we caught the eggie this cycle too...timing was okay...not as good as last month, but this time I was caught completely by surprise with the early O and thought all the EWCM was from the HSG. Good grief. Fingers are crossed.

Hey Lindzee, my temp went up today at 11DPO! I don't know why I'm so excited about that. Even if I O'd a day earlier than FF said (which I think might be possible) there's still almost no chance. I guess it's like your Hope quote in your siggy says.....

Bethie, there is nothing wrong with a little hope I don't think. What are we without hope?? I am just happy you finally Oed, whatever reason caused it to happen. Just like I am going to happy with the fact I O'ed early [well, on a normal day!] I think you should be happy your cycle ended with you actually Oing. We've got to take comfort in the small victories.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

How are you today Beth? I see your temp dropped slightly today. :S Any thoughts? Do you feel like is coming? I am glad your LP is still doing well!! We are looking for positives, always the positives. 1. You did O! 2. Good LP! 3. Good plan for next cycle!

AFM, nothing new... I've been just living day to day life, just happy that I already O'ed and am focusing on that positive thing, as well as exercising every other day and am looking forward to my appointment with the OB on Thursday. I think he will be surprised I will be 11 dpo on that day!! LOL! I am trying to not think about my chart [even thought it is nowhere as pretty as my chart last cycle - but that didn't amount to anything so pretty charts clearly aren't everything! ]

Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday!

Yeah, the temp dip today. Well, we all know what it probably means, but I don't feel coming on in the slighest.

So refresh my memory, what will be discussed at this next appointment?

Perhaps the temp dip means nothing - we never know til the ugly witch shows!!

As for the OB appt - I know we are going to go over my CD 3 blood work from my last cycle and he said he would talk about the "next steps". So perhaps he wants to try me on clomid or something like that? I have no idea. I have to admit I will be happy with any sort of plan. I am a girl that loves a plan!! I'll keep you posted!

Well my temp dropped some more today and I know it's to be expected but I'm still somehow disappointed. Then I saw a very link pink tinge on the TP. I wouldn't be surprised if isn't much, but I'll make sure I have tampons and liners in my purse today -- it's been along time since I worried about that! Since today is 13DPO, I guess I'll start some soy supplements on Friday, regardless of what does since that *should* be CD3.

Hey girls just thought I would drop in on you and see how you were doing. Here is to a great 2010.

Beth, can't remember what the next step is for you? Are you still having acu?

Lindzee, hope you don't need that appointment x

no next step at this point other than continue taking the DHEA and start up soy isoflavones again.

sorry Beth...so no further thoughts on the diet change? let me know if you do,watching both of you hugs xxx

Beth, boo to the temp dip today!! And I would be disappointed if I were you too, so don't feel silly about that. I think it is normal and healthy to be positive and hope. i think the soy and Dhea are good options for you and I think it will greatly help your cycle unlike the femara!! Any sign of more this afternoon or still just spotting?

Thanks for opping in Mommabear!!

Emma, thanks for thinking of us. I am going to go to my dr.'s appointment, I will only be 11 dpo on Thursday and won't know anything by that point anyways. no testing early around these parts!

*waves to angel*

It's very light (and probably won't get heavier) and I'm just using a panty liner, but today is CD1.

Hey ladies, I haven't posted on here in ages. Nor have I charted in ages lol, I really should!

Beth, I hope the soy does the trick, have you ever tried agnus castus? I know it doesn't work for all women, but it could be worth considering :-)
