Same thing with me!! I'm like NO DONT MOVE SHAINA!! lol!

I just started on the iron but I'm not feeling anything yet lol.. I think since mine was decently low it might take a little bit for it to go back up. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll start to feel better!!!! I am so tired, of being tired! lol I got the extra strong iron tablets so she warned me it's probably gonna upset my stomach.. and my prenatal already upsets my stomach.. so yay.... LOL

Just be sure to take them right after you eat. It helps a lot. My stomach is sensitive too. I take my prenatal with dinner and the iron with breakfast or lunch usually. If you separate them by a few hours or so it won't be so rough. The prenatals probably have iron in them. Mine do. It will just help to balance them out.

I know but the pharmacist told me to NOT take them with any food so that my body will absorb 100% of the iron... I take my prenatal with my breakfast, and then before bed I take my iron with vitamin C as she told me that vitamin C helps your body absorb 100% of the iron. So we'll see how my stomach feels.. if it is really bad i'll just take it with food from now on and will just have to wait a little longer for my iron to show up.

I took another opks this morning and it looks like it's getting darker! I am hoping I'll have a legit positive in the next couple days. So much earlier then I thought? my cycle is just a mess from the last 2 months I think though

Do you like orange juice with pulp? It might help if you aren't supposed to eat with it. Puts something on your stomach and has lots of vitamin C. I drink it a lot with my vitamins.

Oh that's a good idea!! I'll def buy some tonight!!

Do you think this is positive?? I need to figure out if your temp rises AFTER you ovulate or should it be rising when you get a positive opk lol cause my temp didn’t jump up much this morning but I got this on my opk?

by **Kassi.pooh** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 10:09 am

It jumps the day after you ovulate. Which is annoying lol! But that looks almost positive. Maybe this afternoon it'll be even darker!

Ahhh yay... I am also having ewcm today, so hopefully my body is working this month?!? I will def take another opk when I get home from work today, and make sure we get some bd-ing in tonight!! If that's the case then I guess my cycle is going to be shorter this month... today is cd13, so if I ovulate tomorrow I would think my cycle would be 27 days?

I wish I had been temping this whole time, it will be so nice to actually KNOW when we ovulate so we will actually know how many dpo we are, instead of last month when I was so clueless lol

You were right! Beat the control line just now!! Yay seriously so pumped.. now I just have to hope my body goes through with it and I actually ovulate lol

by **Kassi.pooh** » Fri Dec 29, 2017 7:02 pm

Yay!!! I'm starting to get ewcm. A little but not much. Will probably try opks next cycle, but I'm gonna see if this charting thing actually works!

Yay!!! Looks like we’re in sync with ovulating! I think we should be expecting af sooner then which means, Yay, less time to wait!!!

My cervix is starting to open a little too

so excited! Just waiting for that temp spike!!!!

by **shanay** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 11:42 am

Yay!! Hopefully spikes in the next few days!!! Mine went up this morning so hopefully it stays up to confirm ovulation!! I wish there was a way to change my expected af cause I shouldn’t be having a 34 day cycle now.. that would be a 20 day LP lol
