Re: TTC Check In (1/27)

  • Cycle Info

    What month/cycles are you in? 9 TTC #2 (4 AL).... We have almost hit the 1 year mark of trying for #2 :(

    What's your CD? 11

    Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) Waiting to O

    If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you?

    When are you testing? who knows... I keep wanting to hold out until 14 dpo, but always seem to cave and that just ends in disappointment.  Hopefully I can hold out this time.

    What supplements or med are you taking, if any? prenatal gummies

    What is your current phantom due date? October sometime

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! See below

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? I think I will schedule an appointment with my OB and see if there is anything else that I can be doing or that we need to check out.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I'm having a tough time... a good friend of mine is due soon with #2 and its really hard to be around her.  I'm thrilled for her, but its a constant reminder that I should be pregnant right now too (if we hadn't lost our baby).  Most of the time I'm ok, but I have break-downs every now and then when something triggers it in me.  The other day I broke down crying when I saw a baby on tv.... I just want this journey to be over and a baby to be on the way.

    Anything else to add? Good luck to all of you ladies! 

    @pinkshades- I keep watching your chart.  Even with the confusion of O date, things look promising.  Fingers crossed.

    @MrMrsAndBaby- everytime I see your chart I have 2 reactions- 1. I'm jealous that you are able to stop temping and relax more this cycle and 2. It is stressful to see a chart with no temps.  I know... crazy right?  I hope this has been a much better month for you and that your being able to relax might make all the difference.  Good luck!

    GTYK: What is your current favorite TV show and what is your all-time favorite TV show? Currently, DH and I are really into Breaking Bad.  We are only on season 3, but its good.  Of course, I have a long list of other shows I love too: Walking Dead, Bachelor, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Mike and Molly, etc.  My favorite all-time show would have to be Friends.  I can watch re-runs over and over and never get tired of it.  Its definitely a classic in my book.

  • Cycle Info

    What month/cycles are you in? cycle 10 (2AL) 

    What's your CD? 3

    Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) AF is here

    If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you?

    When are you testing?

    What supplements or med are you taking, if any?

    What is your current phantom due date? Not looking

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! 

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? My OB prescribed 50mg Clomid several months ago to help with long and irregular cycles. I have not filled the rx, but have been debating all weekend (I would have to start today on CD3.) My OB does not do u/s monitoring- only bloodwork, so I guess my biggest fear is multiples! So, I keep waiting and hoping it works without the meds, but getting so impatient. Very conflicted...

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I was so upset when AF arrived this weekend. I knew it was coming, but I was so angry and frustrated….angry about our loss and how long this is taking...

    Anything else to add? So excited for @suitern's BPF, fx for everyone else!!!

    GTYK: What is your current favorite TV show and what is your all-time favorite TV show? ohh this is hard. I love the Bachelor series and watched the wedding last night! All time favorite is very hard…I may have to think about this….

    What's your CD? 27

    Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) 2WW

    If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you? 11

    When are you testing? February 1st. I figured if I made that far, then there might be a chance ;) That would be 16dpo.

    What supplements or med are you taking, if any? PNV and Baby Aspirin.

    What is your current phantom due date? Oct 8

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! In my siggy.

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Stop temping and I may stop the aspirin. I don't think the aspirin is working.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? It's been a difficult journey, but I think I'm done being depressed and now I'm moving forward. I had to make some decisions this week with work over the next year and all of the plans are if we don't get pregnant/due in 2014. I haven't lost all hope, but I can't plan my life around a could-be baby.

    Anything else to add? Congrats again, @suitern!! I hope this is a sticky baby, possibly twins, and that you get through the next few months while your DH is away!

    @vballgirl78--*Hugs* I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I don't know what a loss feels like, but I do know the depressed feeling. Don't feel guilty for feeling this way; I have two close people who are pregnant and then tons of people on Facebook. It still stings to look at their posts and I've given myself permission to not only feel this way, but distance myself from it/them. Do what you to do to protect yourself.

    GTYK: What is your current favorite TV show and what is your all-time favorite TV show? Currently, I'm loving White Collar! My all-time favorite would be House, but we also like watching Survivor, Amazing Race, Psych, NCIS, Elementary, Food Network, and TLC.

  • BellaBoo0706--I'm sorry to hear AF made an appearance :( Whatever you decide with clomid, we are thinking and praying for you.

  • @Bellaboo0706, I think I have told you before that I was on clomid. I did it from cycle day 5 to day 10. It was the absolute lowest does, 50 mg per day for 5 days. It really wasn't awful and it did help me ovulate on a more regular schedule. Could you ask to get an ultrasound just for the first month of taking it? That is what I did....

  • Thanks @pinkshades05! @suitern, that may be a good thing to do. I have an apt. with my OB in Feb. so I may talk to her about one u/s and hold off one more month on the Clomid…but it is tempting to start NOW!
  • What month/cycles are you in? 6/6

    What's your CD?  19 (I had to log in to look that up!)

    Where are you in your cycle?  2WW - I'm pretty sure I O'd last week

    If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you?  No idea!!

    When are you testing?  1 at the EARLIEST, likely I will wait until the 7th if no AF

    What supplements or med are you taking, if any?  PNV

    What is your current phantom due date?  I honestly don't know!  October sometime

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! You know where it is!

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently?  We will start testing for IF treatment - IUI first if we are candidates.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC?  SO MUCH BETTER this cycle.  I though it may stress me out to not know every.little.detail but it is the opposite.  I am so much more relaxed!

    Anything else to add?  I'm chart stalking you all still but decided I won't comment on "pretty" charts anymore...it makes it sad when they turn ugly.  But I do have my FX for all of us.  I'm so sorry this it taking such a toll on everyone, I wish I knew what to say to make it better but I know there aren't words...so HUGS all around.

    GTYK: What is your current favorite TV show and what is your all-time favorite TV show?  Currently I am in love with The Blacklist.  All time would have to be Friends or Scrubs.

  • @MrMrsandBaby--*HUGS* I know what you mean by "pretty charts." I'm pretty sure that all charts start off looking pretty until the end. I don't think they give ANY indication of pregnancy anymore besides temps being raised by the time AF is supposed to arrive. After this cycle, I'm going "dark" like you. I'm actually really excited about it!

  • @pinkshades and @MrMrsAndBaby- I really think I might try not temping next cycle- at least after I have O'd.  There really isn't any point after I can confirm ovulation anyway- I'll either be pregnant or not and temping won't matter.  I wish I could stop temping all together, but my cycles have not been regular enough since our loss for me to have a confident idea as to when I ovulate.  You both have inspired me.... now, if I can follow through with that despite my extreme "control freak" tendencies.

  • vballgirl78--I was stalking your chart earlier and I noticed your cycles are a little whacky but they used to be regular at one point. I hope your body regulates soon! And you should totally go "black" with us if none of us are pregnant after this cycle!

    BabyFruit Ticker
    Lilypie Fifth Birthday tickersLilypie Third Birthday tickers
  • @pinkshades- I'm seriously thinking about it.  If my cycles were more regular, I definitely would.  We'll see what happens this month.  My first 2 cycles after our loss, my cycles were pretty much the same as they had been prior (and they were fairly regular prior to our loss too).  The last 3 cycles its been day 20, day 30, then day 19 for my O days.  Prior to our loss I was usually between day 15 and day 17.  Maybe its the stress of the process that is screwing with my cycle.  Hmmmm....

    I have to wonder that, too. I was extremely stressed out before I ovulated which I think contributed to ovulating on day 16. Go dark with us for one cycle and just see how it goes! You can DTD every other day between day 14 and 22.

  • I think I might try that.  It'll be nice to do things differently and not obsess over charting.  Plus, it'll be nice to not have to wake up early to temp on the weekends.  :)  It certainly can't hurt to try something different.

    Fingers crossed that neither of us need to "go dark" next cycle!  :)

  • Yeah, I love the not temping.  I still did OPK's just go get an idea but I don't know exactly when I O'd so I can't obsess about it!

    Seriously, best idea ever...

  • We're basically on month 4, but I'm getting the sense I need to get DD through getting her molars and then I hope she'll drop that 4am nursing and lingering on the breast pattern.

    She wakes, and cries, so I don't think to temp when bleary-eyed. Technically I kept falling asleep too early while traveling so we missed DTD the 3 days before OPK turned positive. So only had sex twice on the two opk "smiley face days."

    I'm pretty sure I ovulated 12 hours after first opk turned positive, two days ago, since i get a dip in breastmilk then, and now feeling cramps.

    Period tracker says period starting in five days and I'm super regular so this just isn't meant to be right now.

    I love parenthood tv show, and downton abbey!!!!! :)

    Good luck ladies!
  • The next few months would result in a nov, dec, jan baby.... Is anyone going to stop "trying" so baby doesn't share bday with holiday season? We are going to stop thinking about it and have casual sex until march.
  • My husband said he was a little disappointed we aren't pregnant yet since he wanted a small age gap. I appreciate he told me. I forgot how it takes a toll on the guy, too.
  • @BloomingMomma--Sorry to hear that things aren't lining up this month but keeping our fingers crossed anyways. If you DTD sometime during your fertile window there could still be a chance but your luteal phase still sounds really short :(

    We are still going to try despite the holidays. We were actually preferring a fall baby over a summer baby but really I just want a baby no matter the month. I've learned a hard lesson on trying to plan and expecting everything to be so easy.

  • DH and I were going to try to "time" the next baby to be spring/summer because winter is so busy and I hated being stuck in the house while on maternity leave.  But at this point, we just want #2!

  • @MrMrsandBaby I decided to skip the climid one more cycle and possibly go to an RE next cycle. I have an OB apt. in a few weeks, so I will talk to my Dr. again about next steps. I am a wimp…:) 
    Fx for you!
  • @BellaBoo0706 - not a wimp!  It is never a bad idea to get a specialist involved when you are nervous or need more information.  But keep in mind that RE's may book months in advance so if you are considering it then you should really call soon!

    We are now going on almost 1 year of TTC #2 (with 1 loss in the middle of that year).  While planning for the perfect month or time of year works great for some, it obviously doesn't work for us and we are just wanting a take-home baby.  Ironically, my last pregnancy would have been my absolute ideal timing- an April baby for a teacher would have been perfect.  We had been trying for 5 months before that pregnancy happened, so it was by chance- certainly not planned for a specific time of year.  With that pregnancy being a loss, we are back to just trying and very hopeful that it happens soon.  I know several people, however, who have been "lucky" enough to have it work out perfectly so they have their baby the exact month they wanted.  Good luck in whatever you decide.

    I'm testing on Saturday. I'm giving myself time to prove me wrong so I don't get disappointed. No, my temps have always stopped at 98.2* but I also have a cold so I don't know if that's affecting it or not. I'm on Day 4 of being sick :( Still trying not to get my hopes up. I haven't even talked about it with DH. Thanks for all the thoughts ladies :)
