@LuckDucky90 - That does sound promising! Will you test sometime this week?

@Beaut1ful38 - I'm doing ok. I'm kind of expecting AF tomorrow. This cycle feels just like last cycle at this point. I've had cramps the past few days off and on that feel like period cramps but low grade. This happened last cycle and it felt out of the ordinary so I was hopeful but since this is the same I'm feeling like my period will arrive. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow I'll test Wednesday morning which would be day 15 or 16 dpo. I never make it that far so I'll feel positive about testing. We shall see!

Well, now ovulation is over, but I'm not a 100% sure when it happened. I got my peak at cd 18 this time (June 1st), a little later than expected. I didn't temp this month and barely had any ovulation pain. I can usually determine my ovulation pretty well just by my ov pain. So this time I'm gonna have to go by my monitor. Which make me ruffly around 2-3 dpo. Not gonna try any baby aspirin or progesterone cream this time, but I am eating a slice of pineapple every day now (including the core). Even if it doesn't help at all, it's at least really tasty.

I've got my fingers crossed for you this time Divnium. I've heard of other people who've had chemicals that progesterone cream really helped them. What does the pineapple core do? What is in it that helps with getting pregnant?

DiviniumLiv-if that’s what you feel go with it. I didn’t do opk this last cycle only temp. But FF and CTP kept saying I O later than what’s I thought. AF came right on Day was suppose to. So our women intuition is right now. Don’t stress over like I did though just go with what you feel. I am going to do the pineapple core thing to this cycle as well. Only for 5 days correct??

Flamingogirl- hopefully AF stays away. I was getting really happy for you when you said you had AF type cramps at 8-9dpo.

@Beaut1ful38 - I was happy I got those cramps at 8-9dpo too! I feel like I've had more cramps then normal since then so maybe they are a good thing? I'm still hoping they are! I should know by tomorrow.

@FlamingoGirl13. I hope this is it for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Just had my doctors appointment this morning and no more ultrasounds unless it is required medically.

FlamingoGirl13 - pineapple, and especially the core, contains an enzyme called bromelain that is both anti-inflammatoric, pain reliever and blood thinner. So it can help with implantation, especially if it there is a problem with implantation caused by the immune system.

Beaut1ful38 - How many days depends on where you read, I guess. I've read about only 5 days, some pages say 6-8 days and I've even found a page that says 10-14 days (from ov to af). So I think I'll try about 6-8 days or longer. Couldn't hurt to try, especially since I have fibromyalgia.

Hi ladies, please I need help here. I was 2days late and then Af showed up on the 2nd day, but lasted for less than 3days instead of 5days. I have being feeling mild cramps on my left side of my lower abdomen and breast still feels tender and full. Could I be pregnant?

@ dragonfly23 - I know ultrasounds must be amazing when you have a little one growing inside you, but if you don't need anymore then that's a very good thing! It means he's happy and healthy in there and that the doctors aren't worried about anything. I hope your second half of pregnancy flies by and you get to meet him in no time. Have you and your DH come up with any boy names you like. If you want to share of course!

@DiviniumLiv - Thanks for the info! I was wondering why people talked about pineapple core as a conception aid. Pineapple unfortunately does not sit well with me and I can barely eat two little fresh pieces with out getting stomach/intestinal cramps. I love pineapple though and miss eating it.

@nanapouka1 - Was it dark red blood with clots in it? If you had clots and regular menstrual bleeding then the chances of pregnancy are low. If it would make you feel better you should take a test to help make things clear.

AFM - 14 of 15 dpo and no AF for me yet. Had some more low grade cramps last night and breasts are still tender. If AF is a no show today and tonight I will take a test in the morning. I'm feeling positive and holding myself back from feeling to optimistic at the same time. I think I'm trying to prevent to hard of a let down if AF does show. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

@FlamingoGirl13. We haven't discussed any names. You see, he got to pick our daughter's name and we made a deal that I get to pick the boys name. Hoping he will like it and not make me pick a different one. Girl names are easy to pick but not boys. I really hope this is it for you and you get your BFP. Praying for you.
