Re: TTC Check In (1/13)
What month/cycles are you in? 8 TTC#2 (3 AL)
What's your CD? 30
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 DPO
When are you testing? I'm gonna try and hold out until Thursday, although I'm pretty sure AF is coming soon, so I probably won't even get to that point. I spotted a little yesterday and I feel a little crampy today, so I'm sure she will be here soon.
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? prenatal gummies and folic acid
What is your current phantom due date? Sept. 25
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! see below
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? not sure.... there really isn't anything else we can do differently. Our timing has been perfect. I might consider checking in with my OB. I know its only been 3 cycles since our loss, but with my age and the fact that we started trying for #2 last Feb., I feel like it might not hurt to just talk to her and see what she says. I don't know.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I'm an emotional wreck... I'm starting to feel as though I'll never be able to have another baby. I think I'm still much more affected by our loss than I realized. It is still weighing very heavily on me.
Anything else to add? I am so hoping someone gets their BFP soon! It feels like more of us by now should have had that luck. I have my fingers crossed that this will be the month for at least one of us.
GTYK: What are you doing for LO's Birthday? Addy's birthday is Thursday (she was an early bird). We had my parents and DH's mom over Saturday for presents, pizza and cupcakes (Elmo- themed). It was super low-key and nothing fancy. Her birthday is Thursday, but I have a class I have to go to after work and won't get home until 5:00. DH has a show that night and will be leaving around 5:30ish. So, I don't think we will really get to celebrate as a family. I might take her out for a special mommy-daughter birthday dinner. Maybe we will go out as a family either Wed. night or Friday night.
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
What month/cycles are you in? 6
What's your CD? 26
Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) 2 WW
If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you? 7
When are you testing? FF says January 20th, but I will get AF before that as my LP isn't 14 days. So if I get to 14 DPO, I will test.
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? PNV, fish oil.
What is your current phantom due date? September 29th
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! See below!
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? We are out until April due to DH traveling. I haven't decided on if I should temp or not.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I am on an emotional roller coaster. If I am not pregnant this month I feel like it will be a nice and much needed break for my sanity. Plus, I feel like I have turned into that person that says well I am not sure if I can do x,y,or z because I may be pregnant at that time...I don't want to live life like that.
Anything else to add? I really hope we get some BFPs soon! Good luck! I also had this super weird dip the other day in my temperature but it went back up this morning, so I guess that is good. I am just trying not to think about anything during the 2 WW.
GTYK: What are you doing for LO's Birthday? L's party is this weekend. We are doing an Elmo party. His birthday isn't until February 9th, but we are having his party early since DH will be gone for his actual birthday. DH and I may also take him to the aquarium or the children's museum before DH leaves for something a little special. I am not sure what I will do special with him on his birthday, probably just get a cupcake and maybe go to dinner at Chipotle because it is his favorite food!
What month/cycles are you in? 10/9 (1AL)
What's your CD? 24
Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) Finally got a pos OPK on Saturday, but no temp spike yet…so not sure! I think today will be O day.
If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you?
When are you testing?
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? PNV
What is your current phantom due date? Sometime in October (wow, that seems so long away.)
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! Yes
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Not sure. Hoping it happens this month but I know its unlikely we would be lucky 2 cycles in a row.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Awful. Tired of it. Wondering if I need to take an indefinite break.
Anything else to add?
GTYK: What are you doing for LO's Birthday? My parents are coming in town and we will have a family celebration on his Bday. Not sure if we will also have a little party for his friends or not….
What's your CD? 13
Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) Waiting to O. Probably will by Wednesday.
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? PNV and Baby Aspirin.
What is your current phantom due date? Oct 8th.
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! In my siggy.
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? I'm going to break from temping next cycle. I need some sleep and not stress about the numbers.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I've been a mess lately but today I'm starting to feel better. I'm more worried that there is something wrong with me than anything.
Anything else to add? Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies!!
GTYK: What are you doing for LO's Birthday? We'll do a small family party. We already bought Nat a balance bike for her birthday and we are super excited for her to try it out!
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
@vballgirl78 - I'm so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug for going through all of this. I don't think it will hurt to talk to your doctor, I know how frustrating it is to get negatives after perfect timing, but I can't imagine dealing with a loss too.
@suitern - I was the same way! The "I can't do it because I may be pregnant" feeling sucks and I think you need a break. Not saying I hope you get a negative, just saying to let yourself relax a little. Easy for me to say huh?
@BellaBoo0706 - Hopefully you do get lucky (see what I did there...) two months in a row!
@pinkshades05 - I'm so curious about the balance bikes! I hope Nat loves it.
Sorry everyone, I've been a bad chart stalker lately. I'm trying to be more chill but I still have all my vingers and toes crossed for everyone.
What month/cycles are you in? 6/6
What's your CD? 6
Where are you in your cycle? Waiting to O (for lack of a better option)
What supplements or med are you taking, if any? Just a PNV but also doing the 24 day challenge so some extra vitamins
What is your current phantom due date? No idea! October sometime
Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! In Siggy but I'm not temping this cycle so there isn't anything to look at.
If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? I have an appointment with my doctor on Thursday to see what (if anything) she wants to do.
How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Same as everyone else, I'm sort of over it. I just want to either be pregnant or give up - it depends on what time of day you ask me.
Anything else to add?
GTYK: What are you doing for LO's Birthday? Nothing special. Inviting my parents over for dinner the Sunday before but that is all.
@vballgirl78--Sorry to hear about your negative test, but Day 12 is still early. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
@suitern--I hope they can find something in all of the tests so you can get pregnant again quickly!
@MrMrsandBaby--I know what you mean. I'm breaking next cycle if we don't get a positive this cycle. I'm totally over it.
And I'll let you know how the balance bike goes! Nat is a physical child so I think it's a perfect fit for her!
@BellaBoo0706--Keeping my fingers crossed for you! I think I'm ovulating today, too, so we can be ovulation buddies
I'm curious for all of you ladies--how many of us have had reproductive issues in the past? Either wonky cycles or had trouble TTC last time?
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
For us, month ttc #3. My period is just ending. Since I've noticed my LP surge happens so late in cycle (opk), this month just try to have fun sex since now we don't have to worry about condoms.
My ob/gyn said temping may be frustrating since dd still nurses around 4am, temps will be off. So I am not temping, and not worrying as much.
Per MD, Each month, with no fertility issues, the chance of getting pregnant is 15%. So that perspective is making me chill a bit.
The funny thing is that we got pregnant with DD so easily, I had assumed #2 easy, but I never thought dd and I would be nursing this long and co-sleeping at Naptime, etc. If I were pregnant now there are things I would want to change with respect to nursing, so I'm glad in a way it's not happening.
I think we'll start actively "ttc" in april/may/june, so this will be a few less worrysome months. Good luck ladies! I think I'll still keep active with ttc updates though.

BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
And for those of you stalking my chart: I no longer have any idea what's going on with my body. I'm pretty sure I ovulated but my temp went down instead. I give up!
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
So my update is that I went to my OB today, she looked at my charts and said that everything looks perfect. She isn't going to do anything (no meds/tests) for another six months. At that time, she said DH and I need to have a serious talk about what next steps we want to take. She said we would be good candidates for IUI to hopefully avoid IVF.
I just hope we don't go another six months... One thing she did tell me was to stop temping. Since I have a pretty consistent O date, she said it would just stress me out (which is has, that is why I'm not temping this month) and wasn't going to make me pregnant! She did say to keep using OPK's and just keep doing what we are doing. If something changes (longer/shorter cycle, no + OPKs) then I will call her, otherwise we will wait it out...
@MrMrsandBaby--That's really interesting! No tests at all? I do have to agree about the temping. It was great in the beginning when I had a problem, but now that things have settled out it's not needed as much. I really hope you get a BFP in the next six months. I wish I could make it work for you
Did you say you had PCOS at one point?
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
No tests yet. If I would have pushed she would have done the HSG but I decided to give it a month of no temping to see how it goes.
I also want to see what my regular OB says...who knows, I may be pregnant by that appointment! (not likely since my FW is in the middle of the week next week and DH works 2nd shift, but who knows!)
@suitern- I'm chart stalking you like crazy! Fingers crossed!
BFP #2: 7/24/13, MC: 8/28/13 @8weeks, 3days
@vballgirl78--Sorry to hear that AF made her appearance
@suitern--Keeping an eye on you!
As for me, my temp went up this morning! YAY! I was starting to wonder.
