TTC ladies

Thought my opks would come in time to catch O for this cycle but I think I missed it. Oh well, its our first cycle ttc 2. Next cycle I guess.

How is TTC going for you?

Cycle 1 TTC#2 

I did OPKs from day 10-30 and then stopped.  I had a few close to positive but never really caught a surge.  Since I don't want to cut down on breastfeeding yet, I'll just be patient a while longer.  I didn't really get my act together and start temping yet either.

As a just in case I took a HPT before I had a drink Friday night.  I had no real reason to think it would be positive, but I forgot how heartbreaking it is to see a BFN - even when you know it is coming.

Sorry to hear about the BFN.

Sorry about the BFN, Ladie.

I'm not even sure what to call this cycle.  Since my most recent loss it's the 4th cycle, but only the second with an actual shot (assuming timing lines up).  I should be O'ing early next week if my pattern the last couple of months holds. 

Last month I got my hopes up just to have them dashed and I'm finding myself more reserved so far this cycle.  Kind of a PgAL mentality...instead of figuring it will all work out I'm figuring it won't and hoping to be pleasantly surprised.  I hate how much loss effs with our heads.

I'm not officially TTC yet but I'm trying to get in the midset of tracking again - UGH! So far, I don't think I ever O'd this month, or if I did I missed the signs, CM, although I'm not using OPK and I sucked at temping when I made a feeble try at it way back when. I imagine when the time comes I will go back to OPKs. Anywho - if you'll have me, I'd like ot be part of the TTC check in even though we aren't quite there yet.

Hugs ladies! Sending you all boatloads of bfp dust!!  I have to say I didn't have any noticeable signs of Oing last cycle.  When in doubt do the bd again, and again   don't give up hope, hang in there.

 Rena I just know that you will be getting your bfp very soon. All of our dates in life match up, we can't stop now lol! ? you!

Well, we tried this month but I am on day 4 of AF so obviously you see how that went : )

I think I am going to chart again. I've been out of it for so long and I keep setting my thermometer out every night and forgetting to temp in the morning. Not sure how to even remember.

Anyway, even though we technically already tried earlier this month, I think I'm going to take a break this time around to get comfortable with charting and also b/c I am going on a girls trip in a few weeks and would like to be able to enjoy myself for one last hoo-rah.

Then we'll hopefully dive into it full swing...I have pretty short cycles (avg 22 days), so I'll still get to TTC at the end of March again so waiting another month isn't that bad I guess.

Amen!  That totally just made me tear up in a good way.  You're right

Thanks for cheering us on!

This is official cycle number 7 I think. I lost count. We were trying before that but didn't get my period until then, so it was unlikely.Doubtful it's gonna happen this month. We only caught 1 and 1 and missed O day entirely. Argh!!!!!nbsp;

Fwiw, my ds is from a day before being the closest we got cycle. Fx for you!

I am pretty sure DS was a day before baby - we didn't do the deed on O day when I got pregnant with him. For what that's worth : )

Sorry you may have missed this month.  Hoping you are pleanantly surprised.  After 1 year NTNP (not trying not preveting) with BFNs, I'm scheduled for FET (frozen embryo transfer) in two weeks!!!!  My fingers are crossed we don't "miss" it (I've had delays before).  Toddler is up and gotta go take my meds now!  I'm excited and scared for TTC#2.   Luck for us!

Hi!  We are on TTC cycle #7.  I'm on Day 15 and got a +OPK on Weds and I think our timing was good.  (Of course, our timing is always good, so I don't really find any comfort in that.)  I went back to charting this time around to be sure that I'm ovulating - temps are increasing, so everything is looking like it should.  I'll keep charting until I get crosshairs, then I'll stop, otherwise I can't sleep and I figure that's no good for anyone. 

I get really discouraged when I get a BFN, but I tell myself to enjoy this time and use it to focus on Pip - that definitely helps.  But in the back of my mind I can hear the clock ticking and it gets louder every month.  DH is also going nuts - he's done a lot of reading up on what he needs to do to make sure his side of things are ready to go (lots of folic acid, weight training to increase testosterone, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, etc.) - he's never had any issues, so I feel really guilty with each BFN b/c it has to be my old eggs.  He even started talking about getting IVF - I told him that was a little extreme - but he is dead serious - he wants another baby ASAP.  I'll probably schedule an appt with the doc if this cycle doesn't work out either...*sigh*

 Who knows maybe  7 is the lucky number?

Hi ladies! I was going to order some OPKs from Amazon and when I realized they probably weren't going to come in in time for my O, I decided against it  This is technically our 3rd cycle TTC baby # 2, which is really weird for me because in the past we've gotten KU on our first try every time (I just never could STAY pregnant). I should be Oing this week sometime, so we are just going to BD every other day and hope for the best!
