Hi, ok so the horrible monster has arrived FINALLY and i am glad!! FEW! What a yukky cycle that was, worst ever ever ever!

Well i think i have even MORE bad news... my fiancé will be in NZ from the 1 May to the 12 May and guess what! By my luck I will ovulate then while he is gone and I will miss the eggy!!! How sad!! Can you believe this? It will be CD10 – CD22!!! Can you believe it!!! OH MY WORD!!! Im going to screeeeeeem!!!
Looks like those psychics are right!!! June/July will be my month... i hope! Well that’s if I even catch any eggie then...oh well is spose there is nothing I can do about it really, I cant force myself to O earlier and i could leave it to ovulate later but i really don’t want another horrible long cycle.
Anyway, now the question is, do I count this as CD1? Coz it’s flowing and bright red and I’m cramping now... would this be cd1?

Anyway, here is my plan for this cycle
(at night) 250 mg (7 huge bullet tablets!!!) Isoflavones from CD3 – CD7 (this is a natural form of Clomid)
(morning) Vit B
(at night)Vit C
(1 morning 1 night) EPO from cd 1 to O
(at night) Omega
(at night) Culcium
(morning) Prenatals
(morning) Folic acid

So we will se what this does, no vitex this month... i tried it last month and it didn’t do much for me... so we will see, I’m taking way to many tablets anyway . Plus i want to see how these isoflavones work... I have heard good things about them and they bring your ovulation closer and I really don’t want to ovulate on like CD38!!!! No way hozay!!
So wish me luck on this cycle ladies!!!

Wow, sounds like you are having to take alot. I sure hope the isoflavens do the trick for you. That stinks that Dh will be gone during that time though. Just make sure you dtd right before he leaves. Afterall sperm can live for up to 5 days under the right conditions, so you never know. If he leaves on CD 10 then that would give you til around CD 15. If could happen, just ask Dee.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you luck with everything and tell you that yes, if you are having cramping and blood flow then you would consider this CD1. CD1 is defined by the first day of full red blood flow.
Hope that Helps,

Yay for being able to start a new fresh cycle! I would definatly count the first day of bleeding as cd1. Looks like you have a good plan with the pills. Sucks about DF being gone during your fertile time. UGH. Terrible timing!

[..Jessica..]

You count the 1st day of bleeding as CD1. As the other ladies have mentioned!

Sucks that Brett will be gone during your O time, but, DTD for a few days before he leaves. The female sperm like to hang out and wait for the egg to be seen and then they fertilize, so you can still catch the eggie this cycle!

Definitely sounds like you're taking a lot of pills. I don't know how you do it!

Good luck Jenn!!

Glad the finally showed Jenn! (sounds wierd to say that, doesn't it?!?!?) lol

Sounds like you have a great plan for the month, I only hope that it works out with dh's travel plans. If not this month, then definitely next month!
