WOW 37 & TTC

So I’m getting a little older and feel that my clock is ticking & winding down from having children. This is my 3rd cycle logging everything from bbt to Cm to OPKs and we’ve been trying for 1 1/2 yrs. I’m feeling exhausted 😩 from all the trying and disappointments each month. My husband says not to worry, but I’m coming up on ovulation time and just want to give up. This month we tried something different: fertility herbal tea, vitamins, & zinc, meditation 🧘🏽‍♀️ as well as healthier foods. Sometimes I think 🤔 is it really worth all the extra stress we go through. Praying for peace within that either way I’ll be happy again. The struggle is real!!

🌟Update🌟 Sept. 24th

I’m feeling a lil less depressed, motivated & determined after spending some QT with hubby last night. He is truly my soulmate & knows how to get me to smile 😊. He helps to balance me out and really push me to not give up & pray for all things. So we ended up baby 👶🏽 dancing and I feel like I’m on top of the world 🌎. I’ve also noticed since tracking my cycle I get so emotional around the time of ovulation & everything makes me sensitive. Praying for better days & a bigger family, trying not to give up. So here goes feet up, spirits up, prayers up for a new bundle.

🔆Update Sept 27th🔆

I believe I ovulated 2 days ago and I’m now in the tww. It already seems long and I’m impatient.

This month I did things different. I was previously using OPKs, bbt, testing at 8-9dpo, & no vitamins. This cycle We drank fertility tea with red raspberry, red clover, & hibiscus 🌺, we both took b-complex/vitamin/zinc, & I did not test with OPKs only tracked CM & CP, & also put my legs up for 30mins after baby dancing. We baby danced every other day. I also meditate at least once a day using essential oils for relaxation & stress relief: includes lavender, eucalyptus, myrrh, & Frankincense. (Truly a relief) The last 2 days I’ve been cranky, irritable, sensitive & frustrated easily. Im praying this will be our month🙏🏽. Baby 👶🏽 dust to everyone trying.

✨Update Sept 30th✨

Today I am 5DPO and having some symptoms but I’m not getting to excited about any of them.

I’ve been feeling extremely tired, flushed in the face( looked like rosacea) but hot all over, light cramps, evening temp was 99.7, +appetite, last 2 days dizziness. Feels like I have a cold without runny nose/sneezing. Just feel a lil off. Praying 🙏🏽 for the best and baby dust.

🌺Update Oct 4th 🌺

Today I’m 9dpo and feeling extremely irritable 😠 tired 😴 sore boobs +appetite, dizziness/vertigo the past week or so. Headaches even though I eat & drink to stay hydrated. Had some twinges in pelvic area but bfn this morning. High facial breakouts that normally come around af is due. Just want to stop 🛑 feeling down at this point. The tww is dreadful & long. Praying for the best.

💕Update Oct 7th 💕

Today I believe 11-12dpo and had some spotting & a lil on 9dpo. 🤞🏽🤞🏽that it’s implantation bleeding because af is due on 11th or 12th. This made me excited but I’m extremely tired 😴 moody 👺. My lower back aches and still having dizziness. Felt some twinges in lower abdomen but don’t want to get too excited. I did take hpt but bfn. Praying for a miracle🙏🏽
