  • I think I'm 1dpo? Got a peak reading on cd12, today is cd14. This month was a slightly early peak reading for me. ;)

    Autoimmune Protocol diet (my energy is much improved already...like major chronic fatigue to what it might feel like to be only slightly tired at the end of the day with spurts of real life energy inbetween.)

    Prenatals, vit. D, magnesium/calcium, vit. A, omega-3, coq10. 
    Preseed, (timing was only -2, -1) but I'm okay with that.
    My man's health will eventually improve and he'll want to do it more in the upcoming months...(pun not necessarily intended..errr.)

    He will be starting HCG shots this week I believe to increase his testosterone and other low hormones. 
    Fingers crossed this helps him. We are very actively avoiding testosterone therapy. The HCG will be more expensive, but worth it, and maybe even a totally better option. Too bad insurance won't cover it. 

    Anyway, that's me. I'm feeling like spring is around the corner and the seasonal affective disorder is lifting. I do attribute a lot to this diet and the vitamins. I'm getting there. 
    Last night I dreamt of a brown eyed dark haired newborn/infant with lots of curls. She was in her birthday suit and I was carrying her around like a prize nursing her and remarking at how little weight I had gained this pregnancy. 

    It was intense. :o
    Good luck to all! Xo

  • I'm 10-11 DPO today. No symptoms so far. My regular pre-AF brown spotting has started today, so feeling like all signs point to another month of BFNs. My SO will be doing a SA if AF does show, so we are both crossing our fingers this week! Haha

    i will test on the 29th which is when AF would be officially late. Thankfully I have a lot to keep me busy this week. 

    @thistle8677 I've been having very odd dreams since we started TTC, lots of baby and being pregnant dreams. I normally dream about work, so it's been a welcome change! Haha

  • Sorry about the spotting @PoeMasque
    I like that you're having dreams too. I like to believe it's our little one(s) keeping us encouraged.
    Today I started to feel a little down, and then I got a little "sign" to keep my chin up. ;)

  • I'm 12 DPO.  Taking Rainbow Light prenatals, vitamin D, calcium, CoQ10, Fish Oil, and adding Folate tomorrow since I have been reading that the body absorbs this vitamin better in its natural form.

    I am not testing until I miss my period.  FF says that its the 28th.  Trying to stay strong and not allow the temptation to test to take over.  :-)

    Have had cramping but one good thing that has happened this cycle is that I haven't had mid-cycle spotting.  Its been happening for over a year and went to my Gyn twice about it.  They couldn't find anything wrong.  Anyway I haven't had any this cycle so that has been a relief and it let me be frisky with hubby a little more.  ;)  

    All the best to everyone!
  • Well, AF showed up right on time for me yesterday. My SO is pretty upset, we did every other day all cycle and I know I ovulated due to ruptured ovary seen on US, so now he is convinced something is wrong with him and dreading SA. 

    Hopefully no one else is out yet! Any news @Happilili @thistle8677 ?

  • @Happilili sorry AF showed up for you too. Such a horrible feeling. 

    I will be going in for the HSG now myself while we wait for my SO's sperm analysis to come back.
