Thanks for bumping Heather. I may or may not be in my 2ww right now . I had ovulation pains and a possible positive OPK but I have PCOS and my cycles are all over the place so I cant be sure. Good luck to you.

How are all the other girls doing?

I am near the end of a 2ww. Not holding my breath but maybe hanging onto a glimmer of hope. I'll probably have a medicated iui next cycle if it ends up being the N word this cycle. I'll still do acupuncture and healthy supplements as well. Good luck to everyone!

Okay..so aunt flo arrived. As expected. But I truly believe that all the acupuncture and supplements I've been taking plus the diet changes have made a big difference in my august cycle. First of all I did not get any ovulation pains which has been bothering me for the past 2 years. And it brought my period back to the way it used to be. The past 2 years I have had very light periods and absolutely no cramps. I mentioned it to my re but she said that my lining looked good so it didnt matter. But I always felt it did. Anyway..today AF came on strong and I actually had to take motrin for cramps!
Just like in the old days! Maybe my clock is turning back?
Now I'm holding out a little more hope for next cycle.
I am sticking with acupuncture!

are you taking any supplement?
pre-nat vitamins always! and
also royal jelly ( skipped this month)



why are you ttc naturally?

tried 2 months of clomid and IUIs.
2 large old follies left behind from last cycle and they said no clomid this month. I had 1 good follie but didn't want to waste the money on an IUI with US for just one follie.

how long are ttc naturally?

1.5 years maybe almost 2.
I think some tests may have delayed things.
Like my hsg test..I wasn't the same for months after. Also the water us..delayed things.

In the 2ww now. OPK said yes on Saturday.

next month may move to IVF...just mot sure what to do..age is a factor as well.

Hey girls. I just wanted to give you some support and tell you not to give up! We were successful on this natural cycle (see sig.), the month before we had planned on doing IVF. I had did acupuncture (no herbs) and DH was taking zinc and a multi vitamin (on his own, bless him!). I had been on a prenatal vitamin (if you are not, I highly recommend it), and folic acid and baby aspirin for over a year before this pg. We never gave up hope.

Hoping that this happens for all of you too!

I am so nervous

To start takin clomid, am tossing up if it's worse to never try something, or try it and fail. We had been trying longer than anyone i know BUT we are the only one that doesnt have children.
We gave ourselves one last month to try naturally and i was convinced i was pregnant, i didnt have any of my pre period symptoms ie sore boobs, cramps, mood swings. Period was two days late and i was almost goint to test when IT ARRIVED was not a "normal period" lasted only 3 days and vanished after i passed this horrid looking clot..
Good luck to everyone else
