Cycle #4 TTC #3 Last cycle TTC before taking a break until August. Stopping all herbs/supplements except for prenatals, cal/mag and trying FertiliTea (has a little vitex and green tea) for me, vitamins for DH. Used Pre-Seed a few times, Instead Cups everytime. Latest O yet, which turned out to be a blessing as DH's grandma passed away and he was out of town for 3 days - he got back the night before O! BFN... or not!! I was so sure AF was coming but the spotting stopped and I got a BFP on 13 DPO! It's our little girl!!! Expecting Macy Elizabeth! |

Cycle #3 TTC #3! * Vaginal Temps * Giving up all the girl methods and just going for it - we'll take what we get! ^_^ I'm too scared to go completely au natural this cycle, but I am cutting back on the vitex and trying out royal jelly. Also temping vaginally and using a CBEFM for the first time. Also cutting back on b/f to try to get my hormones more "normal". My latest O so far, and so much BD we're both out of our minds with exhaustion!! O_O Beautiful looking temp pattern, but alas... BFN |

Cycle #2 TTC our little girl! Trying a few different things this month, like soy (CD 2-6) instead of vitex, fish oil, less cranberry ... Very early O thanks to soy. Had hardly any warning so only got a "Good" rating on BD. Weird, long LP with lots of spotting. Me + Soy = Bad! BFN |

| Cycle #1 TTC our little girl! Another good normal O, hopefully a nice big eggie after 4 days of strong O pains and a huge temp dip on O day! No fertile CM at all except for EWCM on O day but no BD that day ............. BFN, but longest LP since I had Parker!! ^_^ |

| Started Vitex this cycle, 1200mg from AF to O. Hoping to get my LP back to a normal length. ... Vitex moved my O date back to normal! +OPK on CD 15! Using progesterone cream and taking Vit B6 from 1 DPO onward ... Something worked! LP did much better this cycle! |
