Where are you in your TTCAL journey? CD 31 maybe 6dpo

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nutritionist next week, doc the week after to check in regarding metformin and TTC

QOTW: How do you keep things interesting in the bedroom during FW? It's been hard, especially because I'm a late Oer with PCOS. We've tried different positions, and done some visualization- like imagine we are on the beach or something. It has helped!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm confused with my chart and frustrated. Before my loss, I had a clear O pattern. Now, not so much. I think last cycle was AO though FF puts O on cd 35. FF gave me CHs this cycle for CD 25 but my temp dropped the last two days. If temp stays the same I lose my CHs. Ugh. Makes sexy time hard because we have to keep going until I'm really sure I O. blah!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? CD 19, 5dpo

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I had my midwives appt. this past friday the 26th. It went really well and they said I would be a good candidate for VBAC.

QOTW: How do you keep things interesting in the bedroom during FW? Just try not to think that we are doing this to make a baby but instead just doing it for fun. I put on some sexy outfits and we just don't pressure ourselves.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I can't wait to be pregnant. I am looking forward to a different experience with my new midwives group. It will be nice to have a woman doctor this time as I feel they will be more understanding of any pregnancy symptoms.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

CD 10 or so. I'm not charting this month so this is kind of a "see what happens" cycle.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

Nope

QOTW: How do you keep things interesting in the bedroom during FW?

I try not to focus on the "work" and just act like it's for fun. Plus I don't tell DH when I'm O'ing so there less pressure on him.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

I have been thinking that if I get pregnant this cycle, it will be on the same time line as my pregnancy with Stella, just two years later. I also can't believe it was two years ago that I got pregnant with her.

Thanks shandorfml2 for posting the check in!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?
CD 8 (since most recent loss)/9 DPO

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
No

QOTW: How do you keep things interesting in the bedroom during FW?
I try to not let him know when FW is, but I think he suspects it. I tried to tell him that I am naturally more amorous during that time, so if he wants it all month long, he needs to step up and initiate more! He ends up waiting until I right around when AF and of course my mood is not the best!

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Just the usual wondering what this month will bring us: AF or BFP?

I am right there with you on this part. If I test on Friday, it will be the same time frame that I found out I was pregnant with Annabelle. And of course since I am crazy, I have already counted out the weeks and I would have a scheduled induction 1-2 days before her 2 year angelversary. A little stressful to think about!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? CD 27 12 DPO

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Just had a diagnostic lab where they removed some endometriosis. Had the same procedure last year and was pregnant with my boys the next month. Feeling very hopeful that it'll be just what I needed again. We've tried 2 IUI's since our loss with no luck.

QOTW: How do you keep things interesting in the bedroom during FW? Honestly, we don't worry about it. We are kind of thinking that it won't be possible to get pregnant without the IUI since that's what it took last time, so we just don't stress about timing and try and stay relaxed about it.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I'm so very hopeful about the surgery and my ability to conceive after it. I'm also nervous. We specifically didn't do the surgery earlier or try for an IUI this month because I didn't want to follow the same timing as my last pregnancy. I have a hard time with things still, and some days I'm not sure I do want another pregnancy. What I want are my beautiful boys back, but I know that's impossible.

I'm kinda in the same boat. We found out on 7/7/12 we were pregnant with Ana, and I just got my pos OPK so prob Oing today, and since we'd be induced at 37 weeks that puts us at the end of March. Ana was born 3/2. So, that makes me really happy as I want to be KU and not have to go to long after her birthday to have my rainbow. So, hoping I get KU this cycle.
