momsronnoc

Hi Ladies!

I'm looking for some cycle buddies, to discuss AF, O, and the dreaded TWW!!

I'm on CD3, and this is my 4th month TTC with #2.

My DS is 18 months and we are ready for a second.

This month I am cutting back on caffeine, using OPKs, checking CM.

My EDD for this cycle will be Dec 27th!

I'm on CD 17, still waiting to O.  This is my 3rd month TTC #1, and if I get pregnant this month my due date would be mid-December.  First month temping, checking CM, and using FF, so even if I don't get pregnant, I'm still curious to see what my chart will look like at the end.  Not using opks, just trying to have sex every 2-3 days.

Today is CD 9 in first month TTC. This whole process both fascinates me and stresses me out Starting OPKs tomorrow as O should be approaching this weekend. I've also totally cut caffeine out a few months ago (for other reasons but helpful for this as well!) and checking CM. I guess we just jumped in with both feet!

Hi guys

I've been charting temps, checking CM, and I'm using OPKs this cycle.

Good luck to everyone this month!

Hi ladies,

This is our 2nd cycle TTC #1 after 2 losses (Oct and Feb). Have been trying for 10 months now.

After my second loss, I really got into reading this forum and learned so much about temping and charting so I started using Fertility Friend this cycle. Today is CD12 for me, all signs on FF point to my fertile days around now but I haven't had that dark positive OPK yet. so hoping for those crosshairs in a few days!

Good luck to everyone

Been lurking on the forum for a while so I'll bite on this thread. I'm CD6 and TTC #1 after a MC in Feb. I stopped my BC in September but wasn't actively trying until Jan when I got a BFP first try (followed by MC at 9 weeks). OB cleared me to try this cycle so going to try again this month. I'm not diving in on temping, OPKs etc just yet. My DH travels a lot so just doing it when we can!
Good luck to all you ladies!!

momsronnoc

Good luck ladies!

I'm on cd 17 today, bd'n every 2nd day this cycle hoping for a sticky this time around. No BFPs yet, 18 months trying. Have been taking fertilaid x 3 months. If I were to get my long awaited BFP, EDD would be Dec 15. Baby dust to all you ladies, hoping for a dec/jan little one.

momsronnoc

Good luck this cycle! When is O date expected?

I bought a thermometer, but I won't be able to start this cycle with it. So I'm going to start charting as soon as it get delivered!

That's a great plan! With my DS, my hubby and I didn't do anything. We just BDd cd 13,14,15. Ugh! If only it were that easy this time!

Good luck!

momsronnoc

Also, I'm very sorry for the losses some of you ladies have suffered. ❤️

Hi ladies! CD 4 in second month TTC #1! Hope this is our month!! I too am trying to cut down on the caffeine this month. I have replaced my morning coffee with orange juice the past couple mornings. We shall see how that goes

terime

@momsronnoc I'm hoping to avoid making it a chore and have some fun with it for a while

First time we just did 13,15, and 17 and it worked so fingers crossed!

Good luck to you too.

momsronnoc

I had a ridiculous headache this morning, I think it might have been caffeine related! I hope to avoid any more of those!

Good luck!  I got mine for $8 on Amazon, and it seems to work pretty well.  I definitely recommend using FF for your charting.  It is very user-friendly and has a lot of great info.

@AshleySchulte87, are you seeing an RE since you have been trying for more than 12 months?  Also, just wanted to let you know that we don't use the term "baby dust" here, as it is considered insensitive to mothers who have had to cremate their babies.

Hi Ladies,

i'm currently on CD21 (5-6DPO) and if we are successful this month I would be due on or around December 11th/12th.

I have the same issue. To wean myself off i've changed to espresso drinks. A coffee has around 200mg of caffeine while espresso has around 64mg per shot. Its really helped me. My morning headaches were bad.

Hi, I'm new here. Currently on CD 8. This is our third cycle trying for #1. Right now we're just timing things based upon the week I should be ovulating but if it doesn't happen this month I'm planning to start temping and charting next cycle (I already use FF but only for period logging). If it does happen this month I'll be due 12/24.

MrsM00re87

I've been referred to a fertility clinic, and I've had my first appointment with a follow up after having my hormones checked, tubes checked, ultrasounds, SA for the hubby, and a checks out okay. So I've been diagnosed with primary infertility. I have tried clomid in the past with no success. My doctor thinks I have an egg quality problem, that's all she's got. I am giving it one last month in the hope of conceiving, if no success I will be begin iui in April.

Sorry I didn't realize, I will not use that term in the future. Thanks for letting me know.

yl1m32015

Right now I'm CD24/DPO7. Every month I usually calculate my hopeful due date/shower/apts, but after almost a year I've decided to stop doing that and figure it out when I get a bfp.

GoodSuri

@Embuzz247 same here cd22/7dpo...trying not to get excited bc i feel like maybe it didnt happen this time....but staying hopefully...hoping for both us to get our BFP

No worries, just wanted to let you know.  Glad to hear that you are getting proper care.  Best wishes for a BFP!

Hello! This is month 7 of TTC for baby #1 and it has been way more stressful than I ever imagined! I'm at CD13 and started using an OPK yesterday. I used one a few months ago with no luck. I've also been charting my temps for the past 4 months. We did just use pre-seed for the first time... Has anyone had any experiences with that? I'm really hoping for a BFP this month!

Good luck to everyone!

Hi ladies..
My husband and I have been trying since July last year.. We unfortunately suffered a chemical pregnancy in November but I'm hopeful next month might bring us the good news we have been hoping for.. I'm currently on dpo 8 so will be due around 12th of December I think.. Can't wait to hear how you all go..
Good luck everyone..

Yay! Good luck!

I don't mind the first week of waiting, it's the second one that makes me doubt my sanity! Seriously, how can a little stick that you pee on become that big of an obsession!

I have a charting question ladies. I bought a thermometer but I have yet to take my temp because DS, has been awake at all hours of the night for the last two nights! From what I've read you need a solid 3 hours sleep to get an accurate temp, what would I do in this case?

I would love to join!! I'm 27, married for 2 1/2 years and we are TTC #1 for 2 months. This month has been confusing for me, I am on CD 18 and have not Oed yet. I'd like the support from you girls since it's really not something I can discuss with DH.

momsronnoc

Hey Ladies!

How is everyone?

erica0901

Good Morning!

I got my peak OPK reading yesterday afternoon so DH and I BDed. I woke up this morning with a HUGE temperature drop...

lablover920

Happy Monday!

Getting excited! Currently CD9, I have been temping and tracking cm in FF. I started taking a prenatal on Saturday, glad to report my stomach handles them (meds & vitamins and I usually don't get along too great).

Hope all you ladies are doing well! Fx for all of us!!!!

GoodSuri
