This cycle, my husband and I decided to stop with OPKS and symptom spotting. To just make love, and not “try.” We have been ttc for nearly three years. We are both pretty fit, but fell off with our healthy eating habits until a few weeks ago. We are back to eating clean, and being physically active. This cycle, I’ve been adding maca root powder into my protein shakes, my husband has as well. It is said to balance hormones. I started adding it to have a healthy balance of hormones without the intent of conceiving this cycle. In the beginning of my cycle, I took a Facebook quiz out of pure boredom. I don’t usually believe the results.

I know that the tears would be if I finally missed my period and got a positive pregnancy test. Well, today at the gym I was in a lot of pain, cramps and lower back pain (never happens to me) during my run. I took an opk to see if it was from ovulation. A strong positive came up instantly, I didn’t even need to wait the full three minutes. This doesn’t happen for me unless I have taken ovidrel during <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> cycles. All fertility treatments failed. I am praying that these are my signs. I am as healthy as can be, and I’ve never gotten a strong positive on an opk on my own without fertility meds.

My husband, and I are going to make love tonight. I will keep everyone updated as to if this was my cycle or not. Prayers please!
