CD: 10
What are you doing? Temping, OPKs, trying to have sex more often (all month, not just FW).
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Not much yet.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? 3. It used to be 2, but we changed our mind :P
son#1 born 6/2010
son#2 born 4/2012

CD: 8
What are you doing? temping, charting, opks, EOD for entire cycle
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Nothing yet.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We are just planning for one.
CD: 15
What are you doing? temping, OPKs
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: I had a pretty big dip this morning, so I'm hoping it's O. Unfortunately, I guess I've been drinking way too much water because my urine is really diluted (even FMU is clear) and I'm not getting a positive OPK. So I don't know. Maybe I'll reading too much in to the temp drop.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? Two, but we'll probably just have one.
CD: 2
What are you doing? Same old shit - temping and OPKs.
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Nope.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We would love to have three. At this point, I'm not sure if that will happen. Depending on how much longer it takes us to get one, we might just try for two. If we get three, great but I'm not sure if we'll really try for it. We're still youngish and have 'plenty of time', but I'm just not sure that I'll want to go through this process many more times.
CD: 10
What are you doing? Temping, TTA for now
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: none
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? I want 3-4 but H says 2. With what were having to go through to get to 2 we'll probably stop there.

Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Got a peak reading on my monitor this morning. HIO until my temps rise enough to confirm O.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We'd like to have 2, but that may change depending on how long it takes to have 1. I'd be happy with 1.

What are you doing? I will start temping at the end of this week
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Ugh it's only Wednesday. I have had so much to do this week so I have had long days and I am tired.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We agreed on 2, but if they are both boys I will want to try 1 more time for a girl. H won't. He want 2 and only 2.

Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Relieved to finally have my follow-up RE appointment today where we can finally find out all of our test results and have a plan for future cycles.

CD: 10
What are you doing? NTNP, temping & charting
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: I mentioned a few weeks ago that we were putting TTC on hold while we finished up some house things and got some finances in order, but my husband just started his dream job! We had a serious talk last night about TTC and he said he was fine with continuing to try now that he was more comfortable with the other things we need to do, but we're going to wait until after Christmas. I'm going to lose some more weight, we're going to finish painting/finishing our home and then hopefully put a baby in it! (Also, amazing how fast your cycle goes when you're not officially TTC. I can't believe I'm on CD10 already.)
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We have two now, but we want three more. I asked him if all three were the same sex would he want to try for another and he said, "...maybe."

My Chart
~~ALL WELCOME~~
CD: 21
What are you doing? charting, pnv, low dose aspirin
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?:hoping today is the day...it's DH's Bday
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? 4 but I wouldn't mind more. I LOVE pregnancy and motherhood!!!Pretty sure this will be our last and I know I will cry at some point knowing it will be the last.
CD: 4
What are you doing? Temping and opks
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: None
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We have said 2 but we already have one beautiful child so if this doesn't work out in the next 6 months I think we will be just fine with being one and done.
I'm new to TTGP although I've been lurking for a while. Consider this my intro since I'll probably be spending most of my time on the Waiting to O & 2ww threads. I'm 30, my H is nearly 36, and we're trying for #1! The first two cycles were disappointing, but I'm hoping the 3rd time will be the charm
Cycle/ Month: 3/3
CD: 1
What are you doing? Preseed, trying to up water intake, ED sex if possible during fertile window (but at least EOD)
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: CD1... sigh. I got hopeful this past cycle due to some phantom symptoms I don't normally experience, but I tested negative at 12dpo so I figured I was done after that. It was a weird, abnormally long cycle (for me) due to stress I had been going through (sick pet, car accident - no injuries though), so I think my cycle will start to normalize again this time.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have?
I'd probably want 3, but I guess I should see what 1 or 2 are like first! DH only wants 2, so 3 would probably be a tough sell anyway. We'll see!
DS born 8.11.14
BFP #2: 9.14.16, EDD: 5.24.17
CD: 6
What are you doing? Temping, opks, preseed
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: I have a question for you ladies. So, looking back on my charts I have a pretty short LP. My cycle from June was 28 days with an LP of 9. July was 27 days with a LP of 10 and last cycle was 30 days with a LP of 11. Should I call the doc for progesterone testing or suggestions on another vitamin? It lengthened by one day each time, but it could be 9 or 10 again this time. I was thinking of waiting this month, but I fear that if I do get pregnant, that I will miscarry. What do you all think? (June and july I had a lot of spotting before my period, and this last one I had spotting the day before: I don't know if it's getting better or what the hell) Thanks!
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? I always thought 4. The more I think about it, I really would like 2 so that we can take more vacations. We will see.
CD: 2
What are you doing? Temping, OPK's, CM, green tea, PNV's, Pre-seed, try to drink more H20
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Two words: CD and 2
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? At least two.
Cycle/ Month: 4
CD: 20
What are you doing? OPKS, Temping, PNV, lots o' water, trying EOD but always worry I miss prime time so ends up being ED.
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Haven't O'd and I'm getting impatient. Hoping when I test later today it's a +.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? I would like at least 2. Thinking DH won't go for more than 2 though. I think I'd be happy with that though.

Cycle/ Month: 1/1
CD: 20
What are you doing? temping, OPK's, green tea, checking CM
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: When I was charting with #1, I always O on day 19. 20 or 21. However negative OPK again this morning so nervous I missed it..or that it isn't going to happen this cycle
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? Same as another poster..wanted 3, Dh wanted 1, so we settled on 2. Although now that I have 1, no way would I want 3. Even though I love DD
TTC #1 Sept '10 BFP! Dec '10 DD Anna born Aug '11

TTC #1 January 2009
January 2010 SA results: Count 16 million, Motility 40%, Morphology 2%
January 2010- Surprise BFP! DS born 10/1/2010
January 2013 TTC #2
September 2013 Repeat SA: Count= 1.7 million, Motility= 24%, Morphology= 2%
November 6th 1st Appointment with RE: diagnosed with severe MFI
Testing to try to determine a cause & possible treatment for MFI
CD 3 blood work for me. RE does not want to repeat my HSG/lap at this point,
but may want to before moving forward with any fertility treatments.
After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works.
Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%
Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.
SA 5/9/2014 Count: 12 Million, Motility: 60%, and Morphology 2%. We will be doing iui #1 in late June
IUI #1 6/28 clomid + ovidrel, post wash count 3 million total sperm= BFN
IUI # 2 7/21 clomid+ ovidrel. post wash count 900,000 total sperm= BFN

CD: 5
What are you doing? OPKs, EOD sex
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Want my period to go ahead and sputter to it's end so we can get this show on the road. Bought a super cute swimsuit and it gets delivered today and would love to wear it for H to kickstart this cycle.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We'd like 4, maybe 5. While I'm not anywhere near AMA yet (I'm 30) at this point we'd have to get pregnant faster than this with each kid to get there before 36 or so. I'd really like to be done having kids at 36 or 37 so we can start the next stage of life.

CD: 1 (Yay for AF!)
What are you doing? Definitely temping and using OPKs.
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks? I was upset yesterday when I had a huge temp drop. My chart looked nice so I was really hopeful. Are timing was good etc. But today, I knew I was out so I was happy to see AF arrive so I can move on. Ready to get this party started, lol.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? We have 3 sweet kids...all boys! We really hope that we can have a 4th and final baby. My H and I are really excited about the possibility. My H would love to have a boy because he thinks he'd be so awesome with 4 boys, haha. But he'd also love to have a girl. I don't care either way. Just praying for a healthy pregnancy if it happens.
CD: 8
What are you doing? BBT, CM, lots of sex
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: I want to make a "waiting to O" paper chain countdown. Too bad I don't know exactly when that will happen. ;-)
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have?
H and I each have a child from a previous relationship (they both live with us full time). They are 9 and 10 years old. Because they'll be so much older than any children we'd have together and I don't want anyone to feel like an "only" child, I'd like to have two more. This would put us at 4 children in our household (3 biological children of mine). :-)
PS. Totally no insult meant to those who chose to have onlies. Many of my friends are in that camp. :-)
Cycle/ Month: 6/7
CD: 23
What are you doing? Charting on FF
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks? I wonder what the accuracy is if you chart on FF only? I have almost 2 years of data in that thing! We got pg on our first try, so I keep telling myself to hold off on buying thermometers and OPK's...idk...
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? 3, but I think 2 is what will happen. DD is 12, so she's going to be at least 13 years older than the next one. Maybe I'll put 13 years between #2 and #3 and have another kid when I'm 45!
"Your truth is different from my truth, and we're both right."
TTC since March 2013. BFP 4/13/13, blighted ovum discovered 6/6/13, m/c 6/8/13.
BFP 11/10/13, EDD 7/25/13 - stick little owlet!
CD: 5
What are you doing? Started temping this month and will used OPKs, too. Going to EOD instead of every day to see if that makes a difference.
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Nada, just looking forward to the window so I can see how my chart comes out!
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? Two is realistic given my age but if I were younger, I would have liked three maybe? Then again I hate odd numbers and I feel like in threes one of them always gets screwed.

What are you doing? temping, opk's
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: I'm still a ways out... Been really good with the work outs and healthy eating this week, though, and it's a really good outlet/distraction!
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? I really don't know. We always say 2, although there are times I think I want 3, and then times when I think just 1 would be good, too. So we'll see.
CD: 7
What are you doing?Trying OPks this month, and hopefully EOD, but I've been done AF for 3 days now and we have done nothing, sooooo perhaps just EOD during FW at this rate
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Nothing yet. Just the regular impatience
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? Two for sure. We go back and forth for 3. I would love three but three means new car, bigger house or sharing rooms. I feel like the world is kinda made for a family of 4.

Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Today is our anniversary!
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? Ideally 2... 1 boy and 1 girl. But DH and I both agreed that we would try for a third if our first two are the same sex. I know some people think it's shallow to want a specific sex, but I don't care. I've always wanted a little girl and DH wants a son to carry on his name. The only problem is I have 4 names picked out already... hmmm...

Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: My OPKs are getting darker very slowly each day. Will I ever O? Ugh......

What are you doing? Temping, Charting CM, Drinking more water, BDing at least EOD
Thoughts/Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks?: Impatiently waiting to O. My chart is all over the place and stupid. Whine whine whine.
GTKY: Ideally, how many children would you like to have? First I thought 4 now that I have one I'm thinking more like 2 or maybe three if we have a boy again.
