Trying for a 2016 baby

Good morning ladies,

@Ninies so sorry AF showed her face, hopefully this means a regulated cycle for you. Back to 29days i guess. Best of luck for your May cycle

Welcome @afataar!!! this group is amazing I only also joined this week. We're also started our TTC journey this month, but have been tracking cycles every month to make sure I am ovulating.

Today marks 9dpo for me. i actually feel normal again. I don't have any of the crazy symptoms I've had for almost the entire week. Let's wait and see. I noticed last night very creamy CM tho don't want to read too much into it

@CarienM and @Chanti your signs sounds promising ladies, and i totally agree with the symptom spotting, but its hard not to.

All the best ladies, have yourselves a fabulous Friday

Jay-Bee - I've actually never tasted green tea! This is the first time I've ever bought it - I got Chinese Green Tea for Clicks because that's where I rushed in to buy my opks LoL.
There are a number of sites that say green tea increases fertility, and can as much as double your chances. They say half a cup or more per day. BUT also too much can decrease your chances (caffeine negatively affects fertility), so I reckon the "or more" probably means half to one cup daily.
I can't stand the taste of "normal" tea (ceylon tea), and I was reading yesterday that green tea is the same tea leaves used in normal tea, just fermented for much shorter so the caffeine is far lower. The health shop around the corner from my office has Green Rooibos so I'm wondering if that would also work because I love rooibos tea. Haven't tried it thought. First trying the chinese green tea I just bought. It's apparently a bit better with honey so will be making our first cupful tonight (will make one cup and share )

Welcome @Afataar!!! I hope you find ur answers at fert doc ASAP and that your TTC journey soon becomes a BFP Have you also used Fertomid,etc like some of the ladies have?

@ Cariem, I am also 6DPO and have no cramps or any other symptom. b ut I have got water CM since ovulation which is weird as its normally dry. Do you have any symptoms except the temp dip?

@ Mrs Smith, it is wonderful that you are so excited about this cycle and been positive relaxes one and that is just maybe what you may need. Interesting about the green tea! What brand do you use? I hate green tea and my hubby too but half a cup won't be bad and we are willing to try anything

@ Chanti, lol the dreaded tww, argh

@Jay-Bee - Perhaps have a look at some chart on FF and see if ladies that have anovulatory cycles experience the same temp movements as you. Its worth looking into.

@Carien - Holding thumbs for you!

@MrsSmith - I am so sorry AF is being so ugly to you. I honestly dont like her but I just think of her as a possibility to have children

Exciting Chanti! Hopefully those pains were the eggy releasing and it's a good strong one!

Jay-Bee - good luck with the progesterone test! Really hope it shows good things.

Ninies - sorry the witch has got you too Regarding upping the dose yourself - the rational part of me says you should consult with your doctor first. The impulsive "i wanna get pregnant" side of me says try the 100mg for a month and see what happens! Be aware though, that if you up it you also up your chances of multiples so maybe use that as a guide? How would you feel about having twins?

Carien - holding thumbs for you! The TWW is soooo hard and the further one gets in it the harder it is to wait for an answer!

Inca - exciting about starting your opks! Hope you get a positive soon! I have to wait until next Saturday to start - sooo far away LoL. So excited about using them this month!

Welcome afataar and good luck with the fertility appointment!

AFM - Heavy AF day today. Every month I forget just how gross it is being a woman LoL. Thankfully tomorrow should be better again. I swear I am soooo excited about this cycle it's crazy! All I keep thinking about is what kind of pg announcement we will do and when etc etc. I feel quite hyper LoL! Of course getting myself so super excited about it all will also result in me being super duper gutted if I don't catch the egg this month. And I realise that after a year of not catching the egg there is no real reason why this cycle will be any different. But I figure I might as well ride the positive excitable wave while I can! I feel like I'm doing absolutely everything I can, giving myself the best chance possible so at least if it's another failed month I know I really tried. Will be my 3rd cycle on Vitex, we'll be doing SMEP, I'll be using opks, and we'll both be drinking half a cup of green tea daily (meant to double your chances!). So fx'd!

Today I am 6DPO according to FF, so I guess it could be, but could also not be, really really don't know, but I just don't want to get my hopes up...
