This discussion has been closed.
Re: **Waiting to O**
Cycle/Month: 6/7
CD: 8
What are you doing this cycle: Exercise, temping, lots of sex and Pregnitude
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I just hope pregnitude helps regulate my cycles some, looking to O sometime before CD30 and possibly get my LP a little longer as well.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I have become more sensitive to what others may be going through. I am now more hesitant to joke about milestones or what have you because I know what it's like when my dad says things such as "maybe one day I'll have a grandchild instead of a granddog" Completely joking but still a little hurtful.
Cycle/Month: 6/7
CD: 17
What are you doing this cycle: wishing, hoping, and praying
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Hoping to get a +OPK in the next day or so.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Oh, wow. I guess I'll say just about everything.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAH Friday!
Cycle/Month: 12
CD: 10
What are you doing this cycle: all the norm...
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I appreciate the holiday weekend coming up - gives us lots of free time during my FW
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC?
- I'm a LOT more patient!
- I've learned to trust God that He has a perfect timing, and to trust that He has a reason for not giving me what I want when I want it (yes, I know this is unpopular here, but I fully believe it to be true for my life - and yes, I will still be seeking medical attention at the 1-year mark, I don't think that is in contrast)
- I've learned how to be happy for my friends who seem to get pregnant so easily, and how to be geniunely excited for them
- I've learned what my relationship with DH is built on, we've definitely strengthened our relationship though this process
Cycle/Month: 12/11
CD: 4
What are you doing this cycle: Charting, OPKs, and all the usual stuff.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Nope.
GTKY: What if anything has changed about you since TTC? I've become more sensitive to the possibility that some people may have a lot more going on in their life then they let on. I've learned patience and to live my life.
Edited bc of auto correct and bump mobile.
8/13 BFP! EDD: April 25, 2014
Cycle/Month: 8/9
CD: 20
what are you doing? Just sex
thoughts/vents/chartstalks: feeling anxious that I won't O again. WTF!!!
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I'm sad to say that I'm a lot less hopeful and it's such a bummer to feel pessimistic about it. It seems like every time I've gotten hopeful for something than the result has been the opposite throughout this process. My DH is amazing thou and that is something I keep getting reminded of!
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 7
What are you doing this cycle: CBEFM, I am going to start using Wondfo OPKs 2x/day on CD 10, green tea, POM juice, PNV, pre seed.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: We haven't gotten around to having sex yet this cycle. The holidays, exhaustion and random mishaps have gotten in the way. Hopefully that will be remedied tonight.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I don't think anything has really changed about me this time around and I am only on month #2 of TTC.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! Happy Friday!
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD: 4
What are you doing this cycle: PNV, temping, OPKs, CM and CP, sex ED during FW, hopefully
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: nothing right now
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I guess just that I know so much more about my body now. I knew about OPKs before, because my sister used them, but I didn't know about everything else.
Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD: 7
What are you doing this cycle: I'm trying pom juice, but it's expensive so I mixed it with a regular pommegrante juice blend.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Nothing yet.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I will never assume getting pregnant was easy for someone.

CD: 17. Hopefully ill O in a few days.
What are you doing this cycle: temping, CM, green tea, just ordered OPK's.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: FF took away my CHs this morning. Thank goodness. Hopefully they come back though around when I expected to O.
GTKY: What if anything has changed about you since TTC? I'm more sensitive and emotional.
Cycle/Month: 2/1
CD: 3
What are you doing this cycle: I think I was throwing out my OPKs too soon last month (I only let the sit 2-3 minutes) I maybe opvulated a day or two sooner than I thought and that would have made out timing really off and really no chance of baby.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I had a 27 day cycle first month off of BC!!!! YAY!! I am so excited that two periods in a month is not bothering me at all! My question is am I on Cycle 2 Month 1 until January and then Cycle 2 Month 2?
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? This is only cycle 2 so not much had changed other than I am on this site ALL the time. I was really curious about how my cycles would turn out off of BC, and the PMS and cramps are worse. I also have much heaver flow, but again I am over the moon to have a 'regualre' length cycle that I don't mind it at all!! I hope it stays this way!
**really annoyed the 'bold' wont turn off!!**
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! Two "short weeks" in a row, doesn't get much better!
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD: 38
What are you doing this cycle: PNV, opk, temping, cm, cp, green tea, mucinex, preseed
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I THINK i may have O'd, too early to tell. Not getting excited, Still haven't had a + OPK or sore nipples (my cue the last few months)
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I am much more sensitive about what I say. I will never ever tell someone to "relax and you will get pregnant". I didn't know any of what I know now about ovulation. I can't believe how uninformed I was. I am so glad I started this process temping, etc- 4 months In and I still have trouble reading my body.
My Ovulation Chart
BFP 1/12/13 8DPO EDD:9/24/2013 Born 10/1/2013
It doesn't really matter - some people would say "C2/M1" some would say "C2/M2" - I think that's only there for the people who have huge discrepancies (like cycle 4, month 7) - my cycles are generally around 27-30 days, so I just equate cycle and month (although I'm probably about a week or two behind the "true" month at this point)
me too!
Cycle/Month: 11/10
CD: 2
What are you doing this cycle: the usual
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Happy today is the first of my 5 day weekend!
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Hm, pretty much everything. Even DH has made comments about things like that (meaning he's changed too.) Being more sensitive and watching what I say. And not taking things for granted (I never thought I did, but I notice a difference now!).

My Blog
Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD: 16
What are you doing this cycle: charting/temping, PNVs, B6, checking CM, and sex EOD/ED during FW
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I've been bad about drinking water this cycle and as a result I don't have as much CM as in past cycles. Also I got a temp spike this morning and I have slight cramping. Guess we'll see what my temp does tomorrow. I didn't think I would O this early, usually its between CD 2126, so timing is okay but I was hoping to hit ED.
GTKY: What if anything has changed about you since TTC? I've certainly learned a lot more about my body. Also I've learned to be more watchful of what I say to others as I do not know what they could be going through.
Cycle/Month: 9/2 TTCAL
CD: 2
What are you doing this cycle: Same ole same
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Just ready for my body to re-regulate. The miscarriage just messed up my whole system, ugh!
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? The more we try, the more I want a baby. I've always wanted children, but with every passing month that I'm not pregnant, I just want it even more. Very frustrating.
BFP #1 - 07-15-12; Natural MC 07-18-12
BFP #2 - 09-29-12; U/S showed baby stopped growing @ 5wks 4days - 10-30-12; D&C - 10-31-12
BFP #3 - 04-10-13; Third time is a charm... Stick, baby, stick!!!
Happy Friday!!
Cycle/Month: 3/7
CD: 12
What are you doing this cycle: Charting temps, CM, OPKs
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Vag temping for the first time. I was hoping it would steady my temps a bit since I'm a mouth-breather but they are still all over the place. Sigh. I have really been hoping for a "normal" cycle this time but am starting to get worried that this one's going to be crazy and irregular yet again. I really have no reason to think that yet though so I'm going to try to think positive thoughts.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? It's made me more sensitive to the possibility that there could be important things going on in others lives that I don't know about. I think it's made me more compassionate towards others. Also, I know a lot more about my body now.
This always confuses me too. I usually just say what cycle I'm on, lol. But I guess you're probably right.
BFP #1 - 07-15-12; Natural MC 07-18-12
BFP #2 - 09-29-12; U/S showed baby stopped growing @ 5wks 4days - 10-30-12; D&C - 10-31-12
BFP #3 - 04-10-13; Third time is a charm... Stick, baby, stick!!!
Wooo for Friday!!!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 4
What are you doing this cycle: charting temp/CM/CP, OPKs (wondfos & digis), green tea/red raspberry leaf tea, sex ED during FW, trying to drink more water
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Hearing about other people's pregnancies is wearing on me this week. Called the doctor about my short luteal phase (it hasn't been more than 11 days, and mostly right around 9, for the past 3 months) and she said to come in for an appointment, so I'm glad for that.
GTKY: What if anything has changed about you since TTC? I've learned a TON about my body. I think I'm becoming much more patient of a person as well. I've realized that I can't always get what I want right when I want it. I think I am much more sensitive to other people's feelings as well.
Make a pregnancy ticker
Cycle/Month: 4/6
CD: 15
What are you doing this cycle: usual and trying DHA supplements
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: my chart is useless this cycle. I discarded the two temps that were high due to illness and it's still ugly. Being sick sucks.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I'm a lot more informed about how my body works and more aware of what I'm putting into my body. I'm making more conscious decisions about my health. I'm also more sensitive and emotional without the BCPs. I have a whole new perspective on TTC, pregnancy, and loss.
Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD: 10
What are you doing this cycle: Temping, opks
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: vent: I was skyping with my BFF the other day who knows we are trying, and when I made a sarcastic comment about it not happening yet, she exaggeratingly rolled her eyes. I was so shocked at her insensitivity that I didn't know what to say.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Like PPs have said, I am much more sensitive about what comes out of my mouth. I will also never say "relax and you will get pregnant" to someone who is trying. I am definitely a lot more sensitive now, to what I hear and to what I say. I will never assume that it was easy for someone to get pregnant, as they could have had a long road to get to where they are. I am also a lot more emotional since coming off BCP.
That sucks. I feel your pain. One of my closest friends knows I'm TTC yet when another one of our friends (both friends are a bit older and childless) announced that she and her SO have decided they will not be having kids, friend #1 jumped up and down and clapped her hands excitedly. When she saw my face she stopped but didn't apologize and hasn't said anything about it since. I get why but the insensitivity is definitely shocking (and hurtful). Sorry stufie.
Cycle/Month: Cycle 4
What are you doing this cycle: BD
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Feeling good this month.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC?
I stopped wanting to go out at night esp. to clubs. Last time DH and I went out, all I saw were silly drunk people. Then I thought "I want to be a mom, lets go home." It was a good feeling not to fit in anymore.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!
Cycle/Month: 10
CD: 10
What are you doing this cycle: resuming charting
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I really wish DH and I could find some time alone. We've been visiting out-of-town with family and it's been difficult finding chances to sneak away.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? DH and I both have new jobs, and we've moved. I'm more patient and much more knowledgeable about TTC than I was in the beginning, although DH has developed a nasty case of baby fever.
Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD: 21
What are you doing this cycle: OPKs,temping, PNVs, sex ED/EOD during FW
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I'm just looking forward to being in my FW soon.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I guess the biggest is just having my period (was taking BC continuously so I haven't had a period in 3 years prior to TTC). I also have a better understanding of my body.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 14
What are you doing this cycle: Temping. CM, and added OPKs yesterday.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Really wish I would have caved and bought the OPKs for the beginning of this cycle.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Well considering we just started a week ago, no everything has stayed the same
Me 26, Hubs 32

DS 10.29.13

Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD: 10
What are you doing this cycle: temping, PNVs, lots of green tea.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: it?s almost 2013 and I was thinking, if I?m 34 and half now, do I still try 1 yr before seeing a doc at which point I?ll be 35 and half or just go see doc after 6 mo of trying which is when I?m 35. Just a thought.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I definitely learned a lot about my body. I am also one of those PP who missed the phys lesson in school. I did not know CD1 is first day of AF. I also thought that you could get KU right up to AF. Now, I?m so fascinated about learning this stuff, FW, temping, and charting. I know of so many honeymoon babies. It still boggles my mind to think about how many things had to line up perfectly for so many to end up with the honeymoon babies.

CD: 13
What are you doing this cycle: Opks
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Fingers crossed for my first actual cycle in 13 months, come on body do something...throw me a bone here.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? The level of knowledge i had about my own body before TTC was sad. I had no idea how little i knew until i fell down this rabbit hole.
Cycle/Month: 4/6
CD: 23
What are you doing this cycle: Temping/Charting, Preseed, lots of sex, green tea
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: My chart was so much prettier last cycle. I imagine it has to do with the holidays making the time I temp less consistent than usual. Should O soon. That makes me happy.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Not much. I know more about my body and reproduction in general, but that's about it.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! Well thanks, you too!!
Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD: 8
What are you doing this cycle: My first batch of OPKs showed up this afternoon. Seeing a second line this afternoon was thrilling. I don't temp, so we'll see what happens this month.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: I got nothing. I feel much less bat-sh*t crazy about this whole TTC thing.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I've realized how baby crazy I am! Otherwise, nothing's really changed.
TTC since 6/2012

What are you doing this cycle: Getting back on the TTC wagon. OPK'S, preseed, and a lot of praying to my angel in heaven.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Too early for me this cylce.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I have learned to not be jealous and emotional when friends/ family have become pregnant. I can not take my fertility frustration out on others.

Cycle/Month: 6/7
CD: 7
What are you doing this cycle: PNV, trying to temp better, sex EOD if not ED, drinking way more water, maybe get DH to take a multi-vitamin?
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: No thoughts, just wish my cycles were semi-consistent so we could have a better idea of what was going on. My cycles since coming off BCP have ranged from 28-48 days so some normalcy would be nice.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I am way more knowledgeable about TTC than I was. I know a ton of people that have gotten pregnant right away, so I'm trying to stay positive and keep learning more information.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD: 11
What are you doing this cycle: charting, opks
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: nothing today
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? Well this is number 2 so I guess that something that has changes since TTC#2 is that I'm trying to be more relaxed about TTC - at least for a few months
Cycle/Month: 12
CD: 10
What are you doing this cycle: Charting, OPKs, Preseed, and PNV.
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: This is our last natural cycle, it is on to IUI next month I really wish we could get luck and get to cancel that.
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I've learned that my husband and I can get through anything together. We had a miscarriage, bought 20 acres, DH lost his job, and I switched jobs all in a 2 week period and somehow we made it through it, but I don't think we could have done it without each other.
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!! So glad to be off this whole weekend!!
Cycle/Month: 4
CD: 17
What are you doing this cycle: PNV, OPK, checking CM, temping (new) and easier to be compliant with than I thought, sex EOD or ED (can't decide) starting tomorrow, wondering if we should start using something other than KY like canola oil
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: waiting for +OPK anyday now and glad that my body held out until DH gets back in town tomorrow, anticipating another TWW where I obsess back and forth 100x/day about being pregnant/not pregnant, wish I was off New year's day/eve, still SMH at the woman who ran from behind me in the Home Depot parking lot so she could get to the return line precisely 2 seconds before me, hoping my 1st chart makes sense and shows that I am ovulating :end incessant rant: sorry had a little glass of wine
GTKY: What (if anything) has changed about you since TTC? I have become much more aware of what goes on each month with my body and how blissfully unaware I was before 4 months ago. My husband and I are also much closer and both have baby fever.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD: 18
What are you doing this cycle: charting/temping, PNVs, OPKs, first time temping but so far my chart isn't looking right
Thoughts, vents, Chartstalks: Horrible cold, but happy for a 4 day weekend
GTKY: What if anything has changed about you since TTC? This is our first month TTC, but I realize that I was pretty naive about the ease of getting pregnant...
