What are you doing this cycle? charting/temping (to confirm O), CBEFM, OKPs, EOD, preseed, progesterone after O
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? My CBEFM went from low to peak today and I got a positive OPK so this is a good sign! Its early for me since I usually O around CD18 but a welcomed surprise. Also, I didn't get a peak last cycle so its nice to know I might have a chance this one.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I get excited when my OPKs and CBEFM say the same thing
Great gif!

What are you doing this cycle? opks, temping, cm
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? Positive opk yesterday...figures because I also woke up yesterday with my throat on fire. This morning I'm feeling awful, just got a Iced Capp and Timbits in order to "make it better" and now I'm pretending to work. Also, I"m discouraged because potty training with DS didn't go as well as I'd hoped the past couple days. Sorry, I'm a pity party of 1 right now.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) Not insanely excited, but I was pretty excited when I got my first positive opk. And I'm always excited when crosshairs show up on my chart.
Logan 10/20/2010 ~ Addison 8/26/2014
Yay for your + OPK, clh!!!
Month/Cycle: 2/3
CD: 12
What are you doing this cycle? BBT, OPK, Pre-seed, PNV, ED sex
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? Had some intense Ovulation-like pain yesterday, still around today. Negative OPK and temp is still low, so I have no clue. Hopefully nothing's wrong.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I love seeing +OPKs - one cycle was anovulatory (I took like 30 OPKs), so I really appreciate seeing them!
Cycle day: 2 wah wah
What are you doing this cycle: temping, OPKs.
Chart stalks: nope
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC?: nope.

What are you doing this cycle? temping, opks, preseed, pnv, sex
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? nope
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course)
Not really. My favorite part besides getting a BFP would be being done with opks and knowing I ovulated according to FF. I think I get more stressed trying to pee on opks and waiting for the temp shift than I do in the 2ww.
Month/Cycle: 1/1

What are you doing this cycle: OPKs and Temping
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: I am so excited for our vacation to Las Vegas which we leave for tomorrow!
GTKY: Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC firsts? (besides BFP of course) Yes!! This is my first cycle trying so everything is a TTC first for me. I am excited to get my first positive OPK and I am excited to do the BDing without BC while I am fertile. May sound weird, but I was really nervous thinking about BDing while not using BC, but now that I am no longer using BC and we are TTC I am so ready and excited!

What are you doing this cycle? Charting/temping, OPKs (for the first time), EOD, green tea, POM juice
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? I'm meeting with my OB in 2 weeks since it's officially been a year. I have no plans to take meds but am considering an HSG to check for blockage. I'm excited to be temping again (took a cycle off) and hope to see solid CHs.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I was excited for my first CHs to show but then disappointed to see them move and also become dotted. I'm excited to start OPKs this cycle.
Month/Cycle: 1/1

What are you doing this cycle? Charting, temps, OPKs
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? I'm still not sure if I'm Oing (still BFing my son) but last night I swear my cervix was higher than usual and a tiny bit softer, I'm hoping that's a good sign.
Month/Cycle: 3
CD: 6
What are you doing this cycle? BBT, OPK, CM, B50
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? Pretty sure my First Response OPK kit is busted before I even truly got to use it. POS. I'm sticking with my cheapies! So annoyed.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I loved getting a +OPK and seeing my temps rise with CH. But...now I'm a pessimist. That chart looked damn near perfect and I still got my period. Here's to continued hoping for this cycle.
At the suggestion of ladies on this board, I got a Mabis from Walmart. It works wonderfully! I also recommend probe covers since I broke my first BBT from washing it carelessly.
My H used to ask this, too when we were done. "So are you pregnant?" Silly boys!
Month/Cycle: 16/17
CD: 17
What are you doing this cycle? The usual
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? I finally got a + OPK last night, again this AM, and peak on the monitor. So I'm pretty sure I'll O some time tonight.

What are you doing this cycle? Preseed, PNV's, Temping, Charting, Fertility Blend for DH, green tea, EOD sex during fertile week
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? So AF seemed to be totally gone yesterday, but surprise she is back today
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I still like it when I get a positive opk or see obvious EWCM, but I can't say that I am excited. Since we have a known issues ( MFI) it kind of keeps me from getting excited, because I guess deep down I wonder what our chances are of getting pregnant on our own again even with great timing.
TTC #1 January 2009
January 2010 SA results: Count 16 million, Motility 40%, Morphology 2%
January 2010- Surprise BFP! DS born 10/1/2010
January 2013 TTC #2
September 2013 Repeat SA: Count= 1.7 million, Motility= 24%, Morphology= 2%
November 6th 1st Appointment with RE: diagnosed with severe MFI
Testing to try to determine a cause & possible treatment for MFI
CD 3 blood work for me. RE does not want to repeat my HSG/lap at this point,
but may want to before moving forward with any fertility treatments.
After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works.
Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%
Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.
SA 5/9/2014 Count: 12 Million, Motility: 60%, and Morphology 2%. We will be doing iui #1 in late June
IUI #1 6/28 clomid + ovidrel, post wash count 3 million total sperm= BFN
IUI # 2 7/21 clomid+ ovidrel. post wash count 900,000 total sperm= BFN
IVF planned for early November- cancelled due to cyst

CD: 14
What are you doing this cycle? Preseed, PNV's, green tea, ED sex during fertile week
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? Hoping I'm O'ing as we speak
GTKY: Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) The 1st time I took a HPT was super exciting even though it was a BFN. Seeing EWCM makes me happy too! Never thought I would say that....lol
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 4
What are you doing this cycle? OPKs, EPO, preseed
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? I think I might take a temping break this cycle...I love knowing what my body is doing and when I O, but it was so heartbreaking watching my temps follow their usual post-O pattern.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? (besides BFP of course) I was super excited the first time I got a positive digital OPK. Also (TMI alert) I was excited my first cycle off birth control when I got EWCM....sadly, I haven't seen it in the six months since.
Month/Cycle: 1
CD: 14
What are you doing this cycle? Temping, OPK's, CM
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves? Nope
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC first? I'll be excited if/when I get a +OPK. No suck luck yet.
Month/Cycle: 9 / 6
CD: 6
What are you doing this cycle? Finally getting back to the normal stuff (temping, opks, sex EOD). I've been traveling a lot the past couple cycles and wasn't able to keep up with charting very well
Chart stalks/rants/raves? AF needs to leave the building...
GTKY: Yes! But partially because I had 2 super long cycles, so when I got a positive OPK for the first time I was crazy excited and kind of in disbelief.
That's cute
Sounds like something mine would do. Also something I would say. haha.
CD: CD 16
What are you doing this cycle? Drinking more water, trying to lose weight and eat healthier.
Vent: DH decided we are ntnp this cycle and officially trying in August. Yay! We had unprotected sex last night...hoping I ovulate early this cycle, or that he has more sex with me the next couple of days.
GTKY:Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC?: I'm excited that we are finally having unprotected sex
Cycle/month: 1
CD: 9
What are you doing this cycle? I drink green tea daily so just continuing that, OPK's, EOD week of.
Vent: none right now, just hopeful I will O this cycle
GTKY: Anyone else get insanely excited about some TTC?: This being our first cycle off the pill, I am nervous and excited all at once I guess. We have a lot of friends who struggled to get pregnant so I think that helps me be in the mindset that it may not happen for awhile, even if everything is "normal". Having fun learning from you ladies and close friends who are in the same boat.
