    GTYK: What is the best or most fun gift you've ever given? Probably the play station I gave DH.  He had been wanting one for a while and I said "No WAY" because we have an XBOX and a Wii.  I decided to surprise him with one for his 35th birthday.  He was so surprised and excited.  Seeing his reaction was the best!

  • @suitern and @vballgirl78--Thinking about you ladies. I hope you both get your BFP's this cycle!

  • Hi Ladies, I am sad to say I will be joining the check in again. After a week of being pregnant, AF arrived and the tests are now negative. I am heartbroken, but glad there is a lot going on this week to help keep my mind off of things.. Any advice on what to expect this cycle from those who have also experienced a chemical pregnancy? Good luck to everyone this cycle and Merry Christmas!
  • @BellaBoo0706--I'm so sorry!! I have no advice but I know @ninthgirl has had experience. :(

  • Thanks ladies. I called my OB's office but my dr is out this week with the holiday so I spoke to the nurse. I really don't think the nurse even knew what a CP was bc she seemed confused and didn't offer any info or advice. I'll check in with my dr after the holiday. Thank u for the info @ninthgirl! I hope this next cycle isn't to wonky and hoping for a BFP for all of us!
  • What month/cycles are you in? 4/5

    What's your CD? 14

    Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) Waiting to O - should be any day now

    When are you testing?  I'm not going to.  Not unless I hit CD 30 - so I guess that means January 11th.

    What supplements or med are you taking, if any? Just a PNV

    What is your current phantom due date?  Late September

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! in Siggy

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Nothing, we have one more then we were going to take a break.  We are still talking about that though so I'm not sure what will happen after January.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC?  Getting antsy.  Sometimes charting is the devil, it is so discouraging to have perfect timing month after month and still be trying!

    Anything else to add?  So after January, it will be six cycles - all with good timing.  I am debating talking to my doctor.  With Allison, I had an HSG and got pregnant that cycle...I'm wondering if there is a block or something that the test cleared out?  I don't know...

    GTYK: What is the best or most fun gift you've ever given?  A few years ago I surprised DH with a new paintball marker...it was the one he had been lusting after for months.  He loved it and always thanks me after he plays!

  • What month/cycles are you in? 3/3
    What's your CD? 22

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! see siggy (hopefully it's there, not quite sure if I did it right)
    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? just keep trying, this is my first cycle temping, so hopefully that will give me some valuable info

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Excited! I had a temp drop yesterday, which had me worried, but then back up today. Trying not to read into that, but still made me happy to see it go back up today :)

    GTYK: What is the best or most fun gift you've ever given? Hmmm...maybe the laptop that I gave my husband for our first Christmas together. He really needed it for school, so he was very happy with it.
  • @BellaBoo0706 - So sorry to hear this! I'm sure that was discouraging for your nurse to not understand what you're going through :(
  • Cycle Info

    What month/cycles are you in? 2/2

    What's your CD?

    Where are you in your cycle (Waiting to O, 2ww, Waiting for AF, Other?) waiting to O

    If you're in the 2ww what DPO are you? My period tracker says 14-days left until period starts. I'm currently thinking I'm ovulating late in short cycle (thanks to extended breastfeeding perhaps) so LP is too short to hold a pregnancy. We shall see.

    When are you testing? A few days after expected AF.



    What supplements or med are you taking, if any? Started vitamin b6 to see if extend LP. Pnv and cod liver oil.

    What is your current phantom due date? Early October?

    Do you chart? Share you link for stalking! Not yet. After holidays will start temping and opk.

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Keep trying, and start temping. My opk clearblue reader thing broke so this month we are just trying to enjoy the sex without stress.



    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Good. Timing will work eventually I assume. I do have one worry why LP seems so short, but need more data to know if really a problem.

    Anything else to add?
    I just started therapy and learning about my habits. My grandfather was an alcoholic, and I didn't realize until now how much my mom's habitats and communication patterns has shaped me. I feel good seeing how I can become more self confident and have better coping strategies

    The reason your luteal phase my be short is because of breadtfeeding. Even though you got your periods back and you are ovulating, you may still have partial fertility. I had this problem as well and if you look at my charts, you can see the length of the luteal phase getting longer and longer. Kellymom explains it best: https://kellymom.com/bf/normal/fertility/

    Charting your temperature will allow you to see this pattern. You don't have to stop breastfeeding to increase your luteal phase--but it may take a little longer to return to full fertility. A healthy luteal phase is between 12 and 16 days. Mine started around 8 and last cycle they were 12. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this cycle!

  • So question-not sure if anyone will see this, but when do you ladies start DTD after AF? I always wonder if we start too late and then miss our window? The Dr. said to wait 5 days after my last Clomid, but I wonder if that is the issue too? So I am on cycle day 10 I think today, when would you start if I generally ovulate between day 16-20?

  • If your ovulation is all over the place, then I would do every other day until you show signs of ovulation (like cm). That way your DH has time to replenish the troops.

  • We usually start around day 11-12, but last month we DTD 9 days in a row because my body kept showing signs of ovulation, but then I didn't ovulate until day 30.  I like pinkshades advice- every other day until signs of O coming, then every day. 

    @pinkshades- your chart is looking good!  Fingers crossed!

  • Ok so, we should start today and go for every other day and then switch to ED...let's hope we can keep this up! It is rather exhausting ha.

    @Pinkshades-I can't wait until Tuesday. Your chart is awesome looking this month!

    @MrMrsandBaby looking like O happened recently with awesome timing! Fingers crossed for you this month!

  • I think that's a great plan! And do I dare be optimistic at this point? We're actually considering the possibility!

  • @Pinkshades05 -  it looks so great!  I can't believe you haven't peed on something by now!  You have so much more self restraint than I do!!!  I can't handle the wait!  :)    You'd better update first thing - either here or send me a text!!

  • It's not strength but fear. I don't want another negative test :( I would rather wait than test too early and be let down.
