Your three are beautiful!
My first two were surprises too. I was MUCH younger (more than a decade ago). The first one I found I was pregnant at the appointment to get myself on birth control pills! :busted:

This is my first month charting. It's not much to look at tho bc I don't take BBTs, due to my schedule :( So I'm just charting cervical changes, CM, and OPK results. I'm kinda obsessed with the fertility friend app now! It's ridiculous.
Jessica - sorry about CD1, but maybe it's a relief. I hope this cycle goes well for you.
Jordan - Good luck! I'll be stalking.
My chart is in my siggy, as always.
Ahh, thanks. I'm just glad AF is here so I can start fresh, but happy it wasn't until the end of the weekend since we were at BIL's wedding. Sorry about the new cycle for you too :(Quote:

Jessica, sorry last month wasn't your month :( What is evening primrose oil supposed to do when ttc / pregnant? I was taking it regularly before ttc as it is good for dry skin. I stopped when we started trying though as I didn't know if it was 'safe'.
Evening primrose oil is supposed to promote fertile CM. I rarely get EWCM, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I did get the tiniest bit one day, but it was after I stopped taking it so I don't know if it actually helped or not. It is safe to take while TTC, but you're only supposed to take it from when AF ends to ovulation, or until you're reasonably sure that you ovulated.
It can cause uterine cramping/contractions, so I have also heard of women breaking the capsules and inserting the gel vaginally in hopes of inducing labor.
Jessica, have you tried green tea or guaifenesin (Mucinex)? Those are both supposed to help increase EWCM.
Another thing you might look into, Jessica, is FertileCM. I have never tried it, but I have heard amazing things from friends who have. Like not only does it increase CM, but it also enhances sex drive, etc. FertileCM Cervical Mucus Enhancer - Make A Baby
I used EPO orally and vaginally for both of my end-of-pregnancies. I think it really helped. In a family where NO woman has ever gone before her EDD, I had my babies at 39 weeks. It was nice. haha. I can't say it was the EPO entirely, but I do think it was a contributer.Quote:

LOL, FertileCM.. The writeup suggests that it can increase the female sex drive, and I definitely don't have issues there! I'd probably have to cut back my hours at work! With that said, all of the other benefits sound great and would probably be worth it for me in the long run. Thanks for the tips ladies!
