    pmaria10-I get them at walgreen. They are just the store brand and you get 100 for $11.99. They do not have DHA in them though. Honestly I didn't know that I need to get the kind with that in there until last weeks thread. I LOVE these because they are the size of a tylenol instead of a horse pill and don't give you that nasty after taste. Not sure what to do about the DHA thing yet...also do you supplement calcium to 100%. Looking through my diary I never get all the calcium I should.

    ACEuhheartz- TTC=trying to conceive, EWCM=egg white cervical mucus, TOM=Time of the month, let me know if you see anyothers it took me awhile to figure it all out


    Ok stupid question...Can you ovulate without getting EWCM? I don't know if I will ovulate this month since it's the first off the pill but my cervix is high, soft and open with lotiony discharge but that is it so far? Maybe I am a few days off but I though it would be Saturday that I would O??

    the creamy, lotion is usually before the egg white. How long have you been starting the fertile period? There's still a possibility of you conceiving so try no matter what! Remember EVERY month can be different especially if you are irregular. If you ALWAYS ovulate at the same time, than it would be a little abnormal. Try as much as you can this week until you ovulate.

    Okay, so I have a question regarding trying to TTC and something i have been experiencing for the past year and half. I thought perhaps someone in this thread has also experienced this. Every month and sometimes every other month i have mid cycle bleeding. I have been to my OB GYN about this and have been diagnosed with a very sensitive cervix (a lot of times it's brought on after intercourse). My question is has anyone had trouble with their pregnancy because of this and does this make it harder to conceive because of the bleeding? I guess i'm very used to thinking that the menstral cycle is a way our bodies clean out the old eggs to allow for a fresh start and every time i find bleeding i'm thinking that is what is happening. I hope this makes sense...and thanks for listening to my ordeal.

    This is normal and nothing to worry about, about 30% of women have this.

    "Mid cycle spotting occurs ten to fourteen days prior to the commencement of the next cycle and is considered to be normal. Mid cycle spotting is considered to occur during ovulation period and is a normal phenomenon, it is in fact considered as a potential fertility indication. As mid cycle spotting occurs right during the ovulation period it helps in calculating the peak period of fertility. Ovulatory spotting as mid cycle spotting is called helps in determining the exact ovulation period in a woman and in turn helps planning pregnancy."

    I am in the same boat as you Adegonia I had my last Cycle on April 6th and according to the what to expect when you're expecting ovulation calculator because I am on a 21 day cycle I was supposed to Ovulate on Saturday. I think it happened and MDH and I did the baby dance but we will see if it happens. According to what I have been reading you want to TTC a few days before and of course the day of because sperm can live up to 5 days in the crevix. If it doesn't happen this month I would suggest tracking your cycle, that is what I will be doing. My body was very elusive this month as far as all the signals where concerned.

    I'm still 142. I took the weekend off, ate whatever. It was Kayden's 2nd b day I knew that I just had way to much to do to worry about logging. So I ate like a COW and the scale today is the same. I work out and count everything, I weigh 142. I pig out, I weigh 142. What gives?

    The lotiony was for a few days now I just feel a little juicy. It's clear and not strechy. I think my cervix is moving down though so I am really confused, although I'm not entirely positive I know what I am feeling for or how to gage it since I've only checked for a week. I think either I'm not going to ovulate this month or that I haven't yet. I've taken 6 OPT and all of them have a faint test line aka negative. I only have one more so I may wait until I have actually discharge to test otherwise I'll count this month as a bust and hope that I at least get my period. Since it's my first month off the pill I really have no idea how long my cycle is....ugh so frustrating but I genuinely appreciate all of ya'll help. (sorry I'm an Okie and couldn't think of what normal people use instead of ya'll LOL)

    Weighed in at the gighest I've ever been this morning. Re-set everyone, and I'm off at it again. This time I opened my food diary so my friends can see it - a step that is huge for me.

    "Here I go again on my own....." (Okay that was a Whitesnake quote, since I know I'm not alone, but it seems fitting if I were going to have a soundtrack to my life right now).

    Had my 5 month doctors appointment this morning and I'm up 2 lbs from last week. Still around 13lbs of weight gain. Doc said that was nothing....but I hope she wasn't just being nice. LOL

    I did find out that my little girl is in the 95th percentile of size based on the ultra sound. Gesh! Doc said that most of the time it all evens itself out....so I'll have another ultra sound around 8 months to see where she's at. I really don't want a c-section!! :)

    Your weight gain is so impressive to me. You inspire me to stay on task with our next one.

    Don't believe a word the dr says about the size of the baby. My BFF had an emergency c-section with her first born. When she got pregnant with her second one she convinced the dr's to give her a VBAC (vaginal delivery after c-section). As her due date got close they kept telling her the baby was big. A week before she was due they told her that the baby was going to be 10 lbs EASILY! and asked her if she wanted to do the c-section. She said yes and delivered a happy, healthy 7 or 8 lb baby!!!! To this day (her daughter turns 4 in May) she wishes she didn't listen to the dr's. That's my 2 cents and my story for you :laugh:

    Thanks for the kudos on the weight loss, if you're taking my lost pounds hold on a have a bunch coming your way tomorrow. I've been kicking butt at the gym trying my hardest to get back on track with my May goal, I think I may be down 4 lbs tomorrow. Can't wait to see, although I only count my Friday weigh in at WW for my real numbers. If I did lose the 4 I have to keep on track until Friday. I tend to splurge on Wed and I can't do that this week, need to stay on task.

    I hope everyone else is doing well!!!

    Shoppingqueen - unfortunately 'practicing" isn't very much fun after 2 years of trying to get pregnant. One of the many reason finally getting the BFP was such a big deal. At least we can spend the next few months remember what it's like to do it just to do it.

    Angela - HAPPY BIRTHDAY :flowerforyou: :drinker:


    LW 196 CW 194.4 Loss 1.6 i lost this week, which is so great. I was at 192 yesterday, wish that was it today but I ate ice cream a little too last last night :smile:
