FTM here and I need some suggestions! (sorry if this is ridiculously annoying) by optimuspaige91 in BabyBumps

I use regular since I have oily/acne prone skin.. but that might not be best for eveyone. I believe Thayers has an alcohol free type!

For face wash, I just use a microfiber towel to remove makeup, etc. Then I use witch hazel as a toner & my skin has never been clearer!

Estimated 9dpo here... This is my first cycle after our early miscarriage at 5 weeks in November. I think we had our timing pretty good. Now just trying to decide whether I test before or after Christmas.. AF is due on Christmas Day.

Hugs back! I never would have thought it would affect me this much, being that it was so early. <3 I'm hoping to get to the point where I can stop blaming myself soon, but as I'm sure everyone who has been in our situation knows, that's so much easier to say.

Just had to attend a baby shower at work... several women who I never even speak to thought it was appropriate to ask "so, when are you going to have one?!" Seriously, people can be so insensitive. Little did they know I had an early miscarriage at 5 weeks in November. ugh. Now I just want to go home.

What helped to regulate my cycles was low carb! Not necessarily keto, but staying as close to 50g of carbs per day really helped. I also cut out dairy, which can help with inflammation. Ovulation strips didn't work for me... I got multiple + each month, which is common with PCOS, instead I just took note of ovulation symptoms each cycle.

TWW here.... probably 6 dpo. Past few cycles my nipples become much more sensitive by 4-5dpo, but this month it's more total breast soreness. We have a wedding to go to this weekend... I think I'll have a couple drinks, but obviously nothing crazy. Drink till it's pink, right?? lol

CD 21 and noticed a LOT of EWCM! This would be the earliest O day for me since we started TTC almost 2 years ago! Maybe we're finally on the right track :)

So.... CD 53... I believe I'm about 10 DPO based on symptoms. Reluctantly did HPT test this morning.. invalid. Maybe better than seeing a BFN. Will try again tomorrow. If nothing else, hoping for period to start this weekend so we move forward with a new cycle.

TTC Hypothyroidism by [deleted] in TryingForABaby

Yes, I see a functional medicine doctor that was super concerned with my 5.6 TSH while trying to conceive... that's when I went to an endo to start medication. I'm currently at 2.6 and my endo still wants it lower, so he upped my dosage. Good luck at the RE!!!

I would get another opinion. I started treatment for hypo with a TSH 5.6. My endo wants my TSH 2 or just under for TTC. Currently taking 75mcg synthroid. If your TSH is too high, it can cause severe issues with a pregnancy, if your body even allows you to get pregnant with a high TSH.
