    Anything else to add? Good luck 2 WW ladies. I will be chart stalking you.

    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? Try to workout more, perhaps get a part time job, and spend more quality time with Logan and Landon.

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently?  Nothing, I'm just done.  I'm honestly considering not charting for the next six months...I just don't know.  Today is a bad day.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC?  Drained...

    Anything else to add?  I am pretty sure AF is coming today...that means if today is CD 1, I'm coming off of a 9 day LP.  WTF?

    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? I want to be healthier but that is a forever thing, not a NYR.  I think my only real NYR is to be more active at home, play with Allison more, clean more, keep the house maintained better...all that "adult" stuff I never do.

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? I have no idea... our timing is perfect, but I think my body still isn't fully back to normal after our loss.  So, I think we will just have to keep trying and see what happens

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? It has been an emotional roller coaster for sure.  I keep seeing pregnancy announcements on facebook and while I'm thrilled for everyone, its just a constant reminder that I'm not pregnant (or that I should be very pregnant if it weren't for our loss).  I know things will happen when they are meant to happen, but I'm not a patient person and this is killing me right now.

    Anything else to add?
    @suitern- hope you O soon!  I will be chart stalking you!

    @MrMrsAndBaby- ((HUGS)) I know how hard this is.  Hang in there!  Fingers crossed that this happens for you soon and that AF stays away.

    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? To get pregnant- that's about all I can think about.  No... I do have a few: exercise more, eat better, be more organized at work so I don't bring that stress home as much

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Sad and angry about our loss last cycle. Trying to be hopeful. 

    Anything else to add? Good luck ladies. I am praying for all of you. I know this is SO hard.

    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? None really…have a baby God willing…..
  • @BellaBoo- hang in there!  ((HUGS))  Moving forward with TTC after a loss is really tough.  Its our 3rd cycle AL and I am still struggling.  You are in my thoughts!  I hope you O soon and that your body gets back to "normal" right away.  Good luck!

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? Next cycle, I'm going to not temp. I've been so stressed out about this TTC that I don't feel like myself. I need to get more sleep in the morning and having to wake up at a certain time is getting to me.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? I'm still having a hard time. I keep hoping month after month that we will succeed and I thought for sure that I would be pregnant by now. It's gotten to the point where I really don't want to go out and hang out with other people. My friend wrote on her Facebook "Don't dwell on the things you can't have." She's 5 months pregnant with her second and she got pregnant right away. I kind of want to slap her.

    Anything else to add? I've been praying for all of you ladies. Even if we don't conceive for a while, I really hope you all do very soon. You ladies have been here each day/week/month in this exhausting journey and you deserve this!

    suitern--I'm rooting for you this cycle!
    MrMrsandBaby--I'm sorry you're spotting again :( Having a short luteal phase is so frustrating!
    vballgirl78--I'm right there with you on the roller coaster. I've been having a hard time with friends announcing their pregnancies. One friend at church even made comments yesterday about "One day, you'll have the blessing of two kids." I just wanted to punch him.
    BellaBoo0706--I'm so sorry :( I don't know what's it like to have a loss, but we're here for you if you need to vent or cry.


    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? Exercise, eat healthier, and lose about 25lbs this year. Also, pay off a large portion of my student loans. We reduced it about 1/5th this past year and we're hoping to get it down to 1/2 by the end of 2014.

  • @pinkshades05 - I'm so sorry!  It sounds like you are surrounded by well-meaning but insensitive people.  That is so hard.

    I'm with you on the no temping though.  If AF arrives and I start cycle 6, I'm not temping or tracking CM or anything.  Just going to let it ride for a month...it is too stressful to know what day I will know exactly for sure that I'm still not pregnant.  Huge hugs to you, well, to all of you!

  • Do you ladies think it is possible that I missed my peak using an OPK? It was almost as dark as the control line yesterday, but then today it is pretty faint? Thoughts?

  • @suitern - I've missed it before even testing 2x a day.  OPK's aren't perfect and I generally go with "close enough" when I don't have a clear positive.  I would say go with O as today or tomorrow and HIO!
    Lilypie - (JrNi)

    Lilypie - (y35Q)

  • Yes, we plan to do the deed tonight and tomorrow. We did it yesterday as well. Hopefully, we have decent enough timing @MrMrsandbaby! I am hoping to see a temp rise tomorrow!

  • I just got my basal thermometer so will start temping tomorrow morning. I'm due to get my period on 1/8 or 1/9, I think... I can't believe I haven't ran out to get any pregnancy tests yet. 

    I have a weird feeling that I'm not pregnant since my milk supply dropped after when my OPK was positive, which it always does right before my period. For some reason I assume if I get pregnant, the milk won't drop as much like my period starting, plus cramping and backache like period. 

    Next month I promise I'll use the format provided, and provide my FF link. :) 
  • @BloomingMomma, I think your milk supply dropped most likely because you ovulated. I had that problem as well once I started ovulating over the summer, which is eventually why I think L weaned. Fingers crossed you are still in for this month.

    If you aren't pregnant this cycle what will you do differently? This cycle will be ALOT more BD'ing :) Last month we only had days -O and O. Plan on better timing this cycle.

    How are you feeling emotionally about TTC? Just still not trying to get my hopes up.

    Anything else to add? Praying for all you ladies, especially those of you who have had losses, can't imagine what your going through!

    GTYK: What are your New Year resolutions, if any? Be a better wife/mother (clean more, be more organized, etc) and coupon more! :)
  • @suitern - no spotting today but I tested at lunch with a wondfo (despite my better judgement) and got a BFN...
    Lilypie - (JrNi)

    Lilypie - (y35Q)

  • @MrMrsAndBaby- I'm hoping the fact that the spotting stopped it a good sign.  If it was implantation spotting it may still be too early for a BFP.  Fingers crossed- keep us posted!

  • @vballgirl78 - yeah, a wise friend reminded me that it is still only 51% accurate at 11 DPO...I'm not optimistic, but I am going to test again if AF isn't here by Friday.
    Lilypie - (JrNi)

  • Yeah, every month I get that dip and she's a little fussy for a few days. That makes sense, actually. So, may still have "worked." I felt so sure with DD a few weeks after DTD. It's funny this time I feel normal. I keep thinking i will feel different.

  • I haven't been able to participate lately because every time I would post it says body is required?? Not sure what that's about but I can post on my iPad. Wanted to share some good news - I am pregnant! Wanted to share what worked for us I'm case it helps someone. We have been ttc for 8 months. We were just about to start Clomid. I went to see my gyno last month and he couldn't believe when I told him we were having sex almost every day 5 days before we got a positive ovulation test. I thought I was covering my bases and he said that's wrong. He told me to not have sex at all until we get the positive ot and then have sex that am and pm and the next day. That's what we did and it worked:) maybe we were having too much sex. Sending you all lots of love and baby dust that this will be your month!

  • Very interesting @Cathyr1003....we kind of did that this time around my opk. Congrats on your pregnancy!

  • Temp drop today, not signifigantly, but enough...I'm a little over it now. 

    @Cathyr1003 - that is interesting because my OB told me that unless DH has a problem that sex everyday wasn't going to hurt our chances.  Different doctors, different ideas!  That is what makes this so confusing to me!  Congrats though!

    Lilypie - (JrNi)

    Lilypie - (y35Q)

  • @Cathyr1003--Congrats and that's interesting. I've heard having sex every other day is adequate, but when we conceived Nat, we DTD the night before and the morning after I ovulated.

  • Yea it is very confusing. I saw 2 different doctors and got totally different opinions. Good luck everyone.
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • @Cathyr1003 this is interesting! My doc also said EOD sex. Did you test OPK's 2x a day, or only in the morning? Wondering how this would apply if the + OPK comes in the evening. 
  • Ack, sorry @MrMrsandbaby for cycle day 1 =(.

  • @MrMrsAndBaby- ((HUGS)) I'm so sorry for CD1- its so not fair.  I wish we all lived near each other in real life- we could have one big pity party when this happens for one of us.  This process is so hard.  I hope you find that not temping next cycle (if you choose to go that route) helps you to not be so stressed.  I'd love to try that as well, but I know I wouldn't be able to do it.  I'm too obsessed with the process.

  • Thanks ladies.  I am not going to temp this cycle - I've been pretty regular with my O date and I don't want to obsess about my 2WW again.  I may decide to temp until O is confirmed but I just don't know.

    I have an appointment with my OB - well I actually have two because I want two opinions.  My OB isn't open until late February and is a Clomid pusher.  I don't want to do Clomid since I know I'm O'ing regularly.  So I'm also going to another OB - got the referral from a friend - next week to see what she says too.

    But it was sort of a kick in the gut when BOTH nurses told me "due to your prior infertility issues" I am not jumping the gun by calling at six months of trying (I just started cycle 6).  Ouch.  I never considered myself to have infertility issues...I guess it is real now.

    Lilypie - (y35Q)

  • For some reason I took a pregnancy test today (expected start date of period per my "period tracker" app). Of course, it's "not pregnant." That's OK, but I wonder how accurate E.P.T. brand is for the day of expected period. I'm going to wait another week before thinking about it again. Man, those things are expensive! (The tests)
  • @BloomingMomma - my understanding is that most all of them are pretty accurate by the day of your expected period. 
    Lilypie - (JrNi)

    Lilypie - (y35Q)

  • @MrMrsandbaby, my Dr. told me the same thing that since we had prior fertility issues that it was good we are coming in earlier than 6 months-1 year. I hope you get some answers!
