Hey V - I am totally on the same track as you - adding a new intervention each month to keep me sane.

How has the Robitussin been going with increasing the EWCM? If this has not been super effective - you might try taking Evening Primrose Oil - only for the first half of the cycle as it can cause uterine contractions.

I've been taking for a month - and I did notice some increase in EWCM. I've also heard that grapefruit juice can help out.

Excited to see what your next move will be. Good luck!!

I have to admit the green tea and Robitussin are the only ones I didn't carry on with. They didn't really seem to do anything. My CM was still scant enough to have to dig around for. The B-Complex seems to have actually done much more and I am happy with the amount of CM I had last cycle. Even OH commented on it! I was actually going to try EPO this cycle, but I think B-Complex did the job.

Might do the grapefruit juice thing though - but only because I actually LIKE grapefruit juice.

How are you feeling, girlie?

I think my boobs deflate after AF arrives. And no, I don't have those breast implants that work like Air Jordans*.

In your opinion, V is:
A) Delusional. Your boobs have always been that small, V!
B) Normal. My boobs do that too. It's a hormone thing.
C) Clearly insane. What makes you think I even want to know?

I am hoping the answer is B, but I haven't been able to successfully google it yet (see asterisk below) and you know how self-aware I am (nil). This whole TTC business has made me realize so much more about, well, me that I am almost astonished I was able to go through life before so blissfully unaware.

*Seriously, they exist. I found them trying to google my "condition". What kind of perv thought this up?!

applegirl

V - don't bother google-ing hon - it's B. That is the only sign I have always been aware of.

I'm doing good. Looking forward to Malawi and daily vowing not to take 'signs' seriously in the future. If I can have 94% signs and not be pregnant - then it is just not reliable for me.

Vestirse

Yes, the signs indicator on FF is total rubbish. How I envy you your vacation! Oh well, at least it's the weekend.

I never realized until today how much Baby Dust sounds like a drug - the drug of choice for the discriminating couple trying to conceive.

It's too bad the Pregnancy Fairy isn't a drug dealer.

Cause she'd have made bank by now.

It's so good to know there are others going through the same torment. Misery loves company, eh?

I have done the same building blocks... they aren't working either. Next cycle I am adding Evening Primrose Oil and Preseed. Elliebank just go her first BFP after a year of trying and used Preseed for the first time this cycle. Can't hurt, right.

I go with answer B, too. Though I have to admit, I don't notice a huge change in my own bbs every month... they are small no matter what. But I do tend to notice the feel a little less firm and full after AF.

Yeesh, this TTC thing is killing me. How do we stay sane??? I'm not sure I can. I feel like my life has turned into this endless yearning. And when I look forward, I cannot seem to see any relief.

I want a refund, too, please!

Vestirse

As you can see from my picture, mine aren't huge either, but from my symptom spotting last cycle about the spot on my areola, I've became more aware that my breasts seemed fuller then and more deflated now. Can I go back to fuller? Looked much nicer!!!

About the building blocks, I do have to admit we are going more slowly than I'd like in part because DH doesn't think we should need to become a pharmacy while we wait. He loosens up a bit more every though I'm wondering when to brooch the subject of preseed with him. I tried once at the very beginning and he poo-pooed the idea as going too far.

And don't ask me about how you guys stay sane. I maintain that I lost my sanity months ago. "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." - Ozzy Osbourne.

Hi there, I've not visited your journal before (I have been hiding under my bitter and twisted 12 month TTC with no success rock for the last few weeks) and have just been catching up ... Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, made my day/week/month

Thank you
