What month/cycles are you in? 4/3 AL (9/8 TTC #2)
What's your CD? 2
Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) Right in the midst of AF... waiting to O
If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you?
When are you testing? I am going to try and promise myself not to test before 14 dpo. That's what I said last time but I caved and tested early. If only I had waited... I wouldn't have wasted another test.
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? prenatal gummies and folic acid
What is your current phantom due date? probably sometime in Sept. unless I have another terribly long cycle
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! see below
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Not sure... I might just check in with my OB if my cycle ends up being really long again. I know its normal for it to take a while after a loss to get things back to normal, but with my age, I can't have this whole process take a really long time.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? sad that its taking so long, frustrated that my cycle is all messed up, jealous of everyone around me getting pregnant.... I hate feeling this way. I just want to get pregnant!
Anything else to add? I am chart stalking you ladies like crazy! I really hope we see some BFP's soon. Good luck!
GTYK: What are you doing for New Year's Eve? We might go to friend's house, but it depends on if we can get nana to baby-sit. Otherwise, just a quiet night at home.BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days

Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/482645 (hope I did this right, first time sharing)
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Hopefully I will get better at temping. I don't know if my temps look right or not since it's still my first month. Maybe after I O it will look better?
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Just keep trying...
Anything else to add? Anyone have any advice for OPK's? I just started using them yesterday. Yesterday with SMU, test line was there but not quite as dark as control line. This morning with FMU test line was hardly there at all. Does that mean I missed my O or should I not use FMU? I read the instructions, but they didn't say anything about what time of day to use. Confused
GTYK: What are you doing for New Year's Eve? Nothing...we're really boring. Probably will spend it snuggled up in my bed@ninthgirl - CONGRATS! Sending prayers up for you!
Hi Ladies! I got a squinter BFP on a Wondfo yesterday at 12DPO. I really thought I was imagining the shadow of a line, so I confirmed with a FRER and its a BFP! I am really shocked because this has been a long, wonky cycle and I was not hopeful. This was our 8th cycle trying. It is still early, so I am proceeding with caution but am so excited. My DH is out of town so I won't be telling him till he gets home in a few days, ugh! I will have my fingers crossed for all of you all and I hope you get your BFP's soon! Congrats @ninthgirl on your BFP, so exciting!

BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
@suitern - don't count yourself out yet, it could be nothing. See what happens...sorry, I know it is trite to say it but you aren't out until AF arrives.
What month/cycles are you in? 2/2
What's your CD? CD19
Where are you in your cycle? Waiting to O. I think it's happening now, or about to, so says my body signs
When are you testing? I may wait til new years eve (when I'm estimating AF is due) unless I get it sooner. We had to quit trying Sunday because I'm in my friend's wedding at the end of Sept. I don't have a good feeling about this cycle, only because we're relying on the troops hanging out in there til I O. Just isn't great odds.
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? PNV
What is your current phantom due date? Beginning-mid Sept
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Nothing - but no sex til 1/30 due to that wedding.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Excited/Anxious.

It stinks getting period now. It's really heavy, and 21 day cycle seemed shorter than normal. Trying not to overthink this.
Like poobear has 2/2. What does that mean? (Not to point you out, just an example)
Like for us, this is the first month trying. What would I write?
Breast feeding often does affect your fertility by suppressing ovulation and shortening your luteal phase (after ovulation). A healthy luteal phase is 12-16 days. Even if your period returns, your fertility may not return right away. Breast feeding for me shortened my luteal phase to around 8-10 days until we stopped breastfeeding. Last cycle was 12 days so I'm a little more optimistic
You should start charting! It's amazing what your daily temperature can reveal.
I keep telling myself that back in time women breastfeed longer so most spacing average 3 years apart or more. I'll temp and lower my expectations. I have a feeling my LP is really short. Boot ready to wean, so it'll be what it is. Everything @pinkshades05 said. My LP while nursing started at 6 days (nursing 5x daily), then it took a while between weaning and an m/c for it to get to 11 days, which has been its new normal.
Your way isn't wrong at all it's actually very similar! I encouraged the weaning and Nat didn't seem to mind not nursing. I only label it "baby led" because she wasn't traumatized But really, it's very much like your approach. If Nat started getting hysterical, I didn't push it either.
You can certainly start with a plan. Our first step was cutting out nursing sessions after 6am. If she got up, then we went and got her breakfast instead. The rest fell into place quickly after. It may surprise you!
