Good evening! I haven't been around TheBump but for about 2 months now. DH and I have been TTC for 6 months and well, this was the month us! I got my BFP this morning at 11 DPO.
I had had some "symptoms" and thought maybe I could be pregnant but I also know how prevalent phantom symptoms could be so I was trying not to get my hopes up too much but I've had tender breasts since about 4 DPO, some cramping, weird/vivid dreams for the last 3 days, and my temps had stayed up! Despite knowing that I shouldn't, I took a test yesterday at 10 DPO and it was negative. I still felt like something was up though, so I tested again this morning and sure enough, two lines!
What worked for me...cinnamon. I know that not many people use this but without cinnanmon supplements my cycles were between 60 and 90 days long. With the "right" amount of cinnamon I had a period each cycle. I started charting in January to see whether I was actually ovulating and I was. I also took B6 for a short LP and did the pineapple core smoothie after ovulation.
At any rate, thanks for all the support. Even though I didn't post a lot, I learned a lot by reading your responses to other women.
Re: For those of you who recognize my name...
Where did you get the idea for cinnamon? That is one I have never heard before.
I am on CD47 right now and usually have 28-30 day cycles. I am really hoping this doesn't become a trend so I would like to tuck your info away for future use.
Congrats by the way!
Um.. I've seen you post more recently than 2 months ago.. actually, you've been posting this week haven't you?
In any case, congrats! H&H 9 months

Cinnamon pills help with sugar metabolism in PCOS/insulin resistant cases, which can help induce ovulation.
That's what I was thinking!

I've been doing the cinnamon too. My last cycle was 91 days long, but now this cycle it seems like I've already O'd.
Best of luck to you!
I worded that funny. I meant that I had started posting here 2 months ago. Thank you!

I think she meant she's been on the bump for 2 months, not that she hasn't been on since 2 months ago.
