Popping in to say hi

on42

Hola, ladies! 

I've been laying low this cycle/month. I'm not temping, because I found it too disruptive to my life, and not all that helpful. I also felt that it was adding undue stress and I was becoming WAY too focused on GETTINGPREGNANT, if you know what I mean. I didn't want the stress to affect me, so I decided to take a bit of a standoffish approach. So, this cycle, we were just kind of taking a break...until Monday when EWCM arrived after a (many months') long absence. Woo hoo! I've had a plethora of it this week, which made me feel a lot more hopeful about conceiving. Finally got a + OPK this morning, which I am very excited about. We've been super cranked getting our sexy-busy-time on. A good friend told me, "Just do it every day you have EWCM." So that's been the plan.

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi. I'm still reading posts every few days, but was really starting to feel pressure and stress to get pregnant, so I backed off a bit. 

So glad to be a part of this community. xo

Agreed - it's great to listen to what you need and do whatever you can to help yourself during this emotional process. Best of luck with your cycle!

Hello

I am so with you,  I have been temping since March after my MMC.  I have been good but the past few weeks I have been so into TTC.  My due date is going to be here next month and my shower would have been 2 weeks ago so this does not help.  I got AF 5 days ago and decided that is it, no temping this month.  Last cycle I had so many open cycles from not being able to sleep during the night.  I think it was because I am so focused on TTC.  

I am still using the CBFM and wonderflo OPKs but that is it.  I need to relax a month I think!!!  HOpe it helps!!!

Good luck to you

Woo hoo to EWCM.

Trying to get pregnant at our age can become all consuming. I try and take a step back and relax but I find its always on my mind.

I hope this is a good month for you and you get your BFP. Have fun trying and I hope you get to post in 2 weeks that you are graduating to pg after 35.

I hear you, it is so hard not to get obsess.  Good luck!

Good approach, I too have backed off the obsessiveness and only log on every few days, instead of multiple times a day! I wish you luck in getting ku again and hope this ewcm is it!!

Thanks for the sweet supportive words, ladies. I'm super hoping that we caught the egg, the two week wait begins. It will be the longest TWW. Fx for you all! xo

Hooray for EWCM! I'm not a fan of temping either. It just never worked for me even though my opks read positive and fgs indicated ovulation.

lol@ Ppoppy!

The only thing different this cycle (so far) is that I haven't had any spotting in the LP. Usually I have constant spotting from after O through to AF's face. Hoping we caught it. We did a LOT of humping this time. We were both kinda sick of sex after a week long extravaganza. How do couples do it for so many cycles??? 

Here's to hoping for a BFP in the next 10 days!

I too usually have spotting about 3dpo to AF. Do you know what causes this? I can't understand what my RE is trying to explain. I guess I might be able to concentrate better if he would not explain it while my feet are in the stirrups. I did gather the spotting could hinder implantation. I also think the Clomid I started is supposed to improve hormone levels, which may prevent the spotting.

No spotting sounds like a good sign. FX for your BFP. Let the countdown begin.

Yeah, I have no idea about the spotting or why it happens or what it means. I always assumed it was just residual from O'ing. 

Thankfully, I am still not spotting. And my breasts are starting to get really sore. I am so hoping this was the month. So many things are different this time, that if I don't get pregnant this cycle, I feel like I might really breakdown and cry (which I usually don't do at all). 

Good luck to you, Mrs! xoxo
