Hey ladies I just wanted to say hi and that I am thinking about each one of you. Krissy68

Hey girls...that's sweet Krissy. You know what, it's strange, but does it ever feel like this is the place that understands? Thank God for these forums and the wonderful ladies in them.

Krissy, I read last night that baby aspirin serves to be a blood thinner, so if you have a family history of blood clots, sometimes tiny blood clots block the blood flow to the placenta, thereby inabling people from conceiving. *ding, ding, ding*...Both my mother and grandfather have blood clotting issues..So, DH is rushing out for BA today!!! Not sure about mixing the Vitex with the fertility meds, so holding off on that. I did start taking herbal tea once provided from herbal medical dr to balance my energy flow...I'm learning htis is a whole body balance thing...not just that womb.. Also, took Monistate to clear up YI now that I'm not P, have mammogram scheduled later this week, getting hair colored tonight, and one last dr. visit for my psoriases. Who said this week was allllllll bad...Of course, my AF is long gone...stopped in for only 2 days, so I'm trying to also be careful about the meds in my body since they will affect my eggs...I think?

Happy Ash, Duda, Naz, Elove, etc...how are you all today?

Hello Ladies...All is okay on my end...Me and My boo are back to trying again. Im only 27 ( well will be on the 28th of this month) and have been doing a lot of thinking. I dont know if I should wait until im 30 and then start back trying or continue to try. What do you ladies think. I mean I want a child soooooooooooo badly but am I rushing things?

You all are so sweet. If feels so good to talk to people who truly understand what you are going thru

hi all
me fine today is 4thday of af i went to dr she examined all is ok.. she has given some hormones test and with the reuslt she will decide to start clomid or any other medicine...
i am new in this forum so i just want to ask all of u that r u all trying for first baby..?or these problems came after delivery?

runnershirl - Wow you do have a very busy week. I agree with you I think of all you ladies as my family and I want what is best for each of you. I will continue to pray for each one of you.

elove - If it was me I would keep trying because they say the older you get the harder it get to get pg.

naz - I am trying for my 5th baby. I think my problem is my age I just turned 41. Krissy68

Hey girls. I've been lurking in here for the past week and a half. I was having pregnancy symptoms since about 3 dpo, but today, AF showed up. We were not trying to get pregnant, however I just got off BC because we were going to start trying in a few months if we were doing good financially. Now, after thinking I was pregnant for over a week, I was upset to find out that I wasn't. I have 2 kids, My oldest will be 4 in September, and my youngest will be 2 in August (both boys). Like I said, we really weren't trying right now, so it would have been a "surprise" but over the week I've had time to think about it, and I was really happy at the thought of possibly being pregnant, so it was a big let down today when AF showed up. We are going to probably start trying right away now, so I was wanting to find a great group of girls to talk to(which like I said, I've been lurking around in here since last week Monday, so I know you girls are great). I started coming to this website when I was pregnant with my 1st son (over 4 years ago). I love this website - I've made a lot of friends over the years from here. Anyway - I'm thinking about tracking my BBT - but I've never done it before. I know about Fertility Friend, so I'm going to track it there, but I need to go buy the basal thermometer first. Any one ever use the saliva ovulation test kit? I thought about buying that, instead of the urine strips. Sorry for the long post - just a lot on my mind right now. Baby dust to all of you!

Also - what other supplements are you taking (besides prenatal vitamins - I started those last week). I read someone saying that they drink green tea? What kind? My mom just gave me some lipton green tea with citrus (the cold kind)...not sure if that will work or if you're supposed to drink the hot kind. What purpose does it serve? Thanks again!

Good morning ladies and Welcome new comers!!!
Sorry I have not been on in awhile but I have been very depressed. As you guys know, I took a test Monday and it was a BFN well I still have not gotten AF. I know for sure that I ovulated. I just want AF to come so I can start a new cycle. I guess I will give it another week and then call my dr. Ladies your support is greatly needed because I am down and out and I'm really trying to stay hopeful and prayerful!!!

hello!

Runner and Krissy, sorry for the repeat, I wrote all this on the Christian Women forum.

I went to the doctor yesterday. She confirmed what I feared, well not really confirmed, but "thought." I told her about my PG symptoms, spotting, cramping, sore BBs, yada yada and that I just felt pregnant, but then a few days before AF was due, I got bright red blood, and of course a BFN. She says she "thought" it was some medical term, that I don't quite remember, for your body automatically flushing out your little fertilized egg, due to chromosome issues, or abnormalities etc. This happened in March and now here in June. My husband and I weren't trying but aren't careful either. And to top it all off, I am 26, not even trying yet and she referred me to an infertility doctor, which really freaked me out...and I am NOT a worrier. I am just faithful that there is nothing wrong with me that is going to keep taking my babies before I can even get a BFP! I hope that when we are ready to try, (hubby is anxious now and has pulled away from the idea...) we won't need a specialist, but that these two times were the only times this will EVER happen. AMEN!!

Anyway, I hope you are all well, and this feeling of wanting a little one sooooooo badly can make you feel like you are insane, and it is so good to have y'all to feel insane with. So here it is CD 3 i guess. We are going on vacation next week, to the Florida Keys, so that will be really fun. Also, these dreams I've had about my babies, are almost torture, and I am trying to stay positive, but seeing pregnant women actually hurts...I'm sure you all know what I mean. Love you all!

Ashley

oh, and the worst part is, my BBs are still sore, and my low back still aches...so there are symptoms with no hope...

moescrilla - Welcome to the group. I'm doing the vitex/b6 fertility recipe this is my first time using it so I will not be much help. Good Luck to you.

DUDA - Are you going to take another hpt anytime soon? I hope so. When was AF suppose to start? I would call my doctor office and explain to them to see if you can get a blood test. Hang in there and I will be keeping you in my prayers and thoughts.

HappyAsh - Enjoy your vacation next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just think you should or will be in your fertile period. Stay positive. Sending you a great big hug. Krissy68

Thanks Krissy! Yes that is true, so that might be fun! (:

Hey, since there's already a 2ww thread I thought I would join it. Reall I should get AF tomorrow, but I don't know if my periods are regular. I was on the pill for a long time, got pregnant almost immediately after going off, and had an IUD after my daughter was born. I've had the IUD out for about 6 weeks. We timed it right this month, but who knows. My boobs are killing me but I supposed that could be what it'll be like every month for me.

With my daughter I got 3bfn when most people would've been getting bfp, then finally got a bfp at 7WEEKS!!! I can't wait that long this time!

DH is stationed in GA and I am in Utah and can't move due to my custody arrangement with my ex husband. I probably won't see DH again til Aug, and in Aug it probably won't be the right timing. So if I'm not this month I don't know when I'll get to really try again. AH!

Anyway, just wanted to jump on with some people who are also in the agony of the dreaded 2ww!

Hey girls - as far checking for ovulation, do most of you do temp charting? I've also seen the saliva ovulation kit that is supposed to be way more accurate than the urine strips. With my other two, I never did temp charting, just the ovulation urine strips. This time around, I'm trying to find out the exact day I ovulate, because since I have two boys, I want to try to put my odds in favor for having a girl this time (bd'ing 2-3 days before ovulation, etc) So I'm trying to get real technical this time, and chart everything for a couple months. DH said that we don't need another child right now (financially) but I'd like to at least keep a chart so I know when I ovulate, and what my pms symptoms are. Before this last month, I never paid attention to bloating and sore bbs before AF arrived. This is all very new to me (charting) but very exciting.

Also, I forgot - is it completely necessary to have a basal thermometer? our wal-mart here does not carry them anymore, so I may have to order one online, but I kind of wanted to start charting my temps now.

Welcome Livviesmama!

I am hoping for a Bfp for you. Hopefully we will all have our good news soon!
