I'm sorry lizandtim2003...I do have you on the list but forgot to type it in and the nest won't let me delete this post to redo....I will have you on next week!  Sorry!

QOTW: I've been charting and observing my CM since cycle 1 and I do like that I know what is going on with my cycles and since I have irregular ones it helps me to know exactly when I am ovulating.  I also drink green tea from CD1 to O to help increase my CM and try to eat pineapple core after O. I am going to try OPKs this cycle.  I'm really trying anything that can help!  I then get comments like "Oh you are trying too hard, if you just RELAX and not worry about those things...it will happen!"  UGH, I hate those comments. 

No updates for me other than I'm giving OPKs a try this cycle.  I'm really just getting to the frustration point.

LOL.. Thats ok, next week is fine.... Hmm I think I may be a little confused on the Cycle # ??  Can anyone tell me what exactly it means, I don't think it means the same as what I thought......can you tell I am new at this?!!?!

Mrs.Stover2B

Hello  ---- I can't believe it has been 16 cyles for me overall -- 5 TTCAL -- Wow -- This past cycle I did 50 mg of CLomid days 3-7.   I also bought a CBEFM -- I hope it worked - It did show high peak days and O days.  I am in the 2ww now, hoping for a BFP.     

Liz -- Cycle # is how many cycles you have been trying to conceive.

ok thanks!  I was thinking the right thing then!!!

I haven't done anything special to try and get PG.  At this point, I'm still waiting for AF since my D&C, but I think it's knocking on my door!  I'll be excited to get over it and move into my next opportunity to ovulate. 

 DH and I have always tried to "guessing game" with ovulation.  We've been lucky at getting it right twice now, once resulting in a DD.  I'm certain we can do it again.  If two months go by (I know I'm impatient) and nothing, I may consider OPK's.  I have several babies I still want to have before I'm 35, so the clock is ticking!!

 Best of luck to everyone!  I hope we're all PG together and soon!!!!

Was I taken off the list? I thought I was still on it.

We are TTC, but now officially on hold until April while we get some answers and wait until I pass the time when I'd be due during student teaching. So I am on hold at cycle #13... that will be the cycle I start at again in April.

QOTW: charting... I just started

I was charting but have become very frustrated...not due to charting, but because of my body, and therefore have currently stopped. I've been off BC now since February and have only had menstruated 3 times--I'm on my second cycle of us officially TTC. The first/second cycle was 60, the 3rd 35...and now here I am again at day 57 and nothing. I've tried using OPK's based on charting results, but because it has varied so much I have no reliable way of knowing or even guessing my exact O time and they never showed my O.?

?

Tomorrow I have a GYN appt and will talk to my doctor. I'm not as concerned that we're not pregnant yet but more about my cycles and that there is something wrong that will prevent us from getting pregnant. I know they will probably do nothing as we haven't been trying a year, but I am already feeling the emotional toll of not understanding why my body is doing this and if there is an underlying problem.?

I truly thought I was pregnant this past cycle based on symptoms and having to run to the bathroom out of the blue feeling sick. But 3 BFN's have proved me wrong.

Sorry for the long vent--I'm trying to not think that there is an issue, but I just wish my body would do something. Any good thoughts for tomorrow would be great.?

Abbie...since the boards switched over I do not have the old check-in posts anymore and we lost everyones info. ?In the post below I asked everyone to repost their info. ?I will gladly add you...it will just take a week or two until everyone responds. ?I did not forget about you.

I've been using the cbefm.  This is my third month using it.  The second month I didn't O and this month we only did it once bc I was having muscle spasms so I have about a week left in this cycle and I'm not very positive.   I'm just glad I O'd again though.  I'm definitely ready to get this show on the road now.  I wasn't too entirely disappointed in the previous months bc with everything going on in our lives the timing is probably better to have it happen around now but now that we've been trying, I'm ready.  Our excuse to our friends as to why we're NOT ttc (only two people at work and one of my friends and you guys know) is soon going to be gone too so then I think we're going to either come clean or come up with another excuse lol

Ok! Thank you! You can just put cycle #13 (on hold) or something. I still would like to be on there because it still is in our minds. I wasn't sure if I was taken off because we are on hold. I appreciate it! Thanks Lesli!

Can you add me back?  TTC #1, Cycle 3 AL, Cycle 8 total.

QOTW: I have been doing my CBEFM, OPKs as a back up since sometimes my cycles are so long, I don't even hit O within range of the sticks.  I've been charting since I started TTC, but lately I've been slacking on it.  I've gotten to the point where I am so discouraged and annoyed with the whole process that I'm contemplating taking a break, but I just can't bring myself to do it.  

I'm going to wait to see how this cycle goes, and call my doctor again.  My cycles seem to be getting longer after the m/c.  Last cycle was just shy of 50 days.
