New here, blessed thus far

Hello. I'm super excited about starting this journey to conceive. I have had an HSG and my husband completed the analysis (both were OK.) I'm currently testing for ovulation; i started on Thursday and today Monday, is cycle day 15. So far, all negatives. However, I expect to ovulate by Tuesday. I have an appointment for an ultrasound Thursday. We've baby danced daily for the past four days and will more than likely continue daily through Thursday. I am not on any medications.
I've been blessed thus far.
I'm looking forward to conversing with you and the encouragement forums tend to provide.

Good luck.
Baby dance. At least I hope to God that's what you were intimating.
Say it with me. "SEX."
If you want to baby dance, watch Ally McBeal.
We're all adults here (or at least I hope we are if we're trying to have kids). If you can't use the word SEX it's on you. Just letting you know what's the norm around here.

However, I have not gotten a positive from the OPK in this cycle. Today is CD 17. I'm having an ultrasound later today that will better determine if I did ovulate.
I will post an update later tonight.
(I know it's OK to type "sex.")
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.
Actually if you are under 35, the definition of infertility is one year of well timed unprotected sexual intercourse without conception. So you are considered infretile. Now if you haven't had all of your testing completed, then you may not have a diagnosis for the underlying cause of your infertility. Even if all of your testing comes back normal, you still will have an infertility diagnosis, it will be unexplained infertility.
I had the diagnosis of unexplained infertility for a few years until after multiple failed IUIs and IVF cycles, when it became obvious that we had repeated implantation failure. I saw a doctor specializing in immune factor infertility who found a few immune issues that could be contributing to our infertility/implantation failure. I also potentially have poor egg quality, but that is harder to diagnose since there is not test for egg quality.

My Blog
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low progesterone, hostile CM, carrier for CF, Moderately high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA
October 2012-May 2014: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, and 1 failed FETw/donor embryos
November 2014: IVF w/ICSI #4 Agonist/Antagonist with EPP and Prednisone, Baby Aspirin, Lovenox, and IVIG for immune issues. Converted to freeze all due to lining issues. 2 blasts frozen on day 6!
January 2015: FET #2 Cancelled due to lining issues
April 2015: FET #2.1

No, we weren't having well-timed sex; just without contraception and anytime we desired. I didn't test for ovulation, plan using calendars, take my temperature, etc.
I'm sure my doctor will let me know what's what within the upcoming two weeks.
Today's ultrasound revealed that I hadn't ovulated. It's cycle day 18. I will keep testing until positive/through Thursday. My period is due March 22. I have never been late; if any irregularity at all, I've been early.
I'm glad I took this step earlier rather than later.
I'm not offended that you continuously fail to use commas in your posts. It's your computer, your fingers. Everyone has their own style. Type (or fail to type) what you please. I'm not on this forum to proofread.
Thanks for following my posts, though.
Update: My husband and I baby danced for the past seven days and we'll do it every other day until Thursday. We hope to see a positive on the OPK by then.
I honestly don't care if you refer to sex as "baby dancing." Other posters felt that your post was MUD (Made up Drama) and I was actually saying that, despite the "baby dancing" wording, I didn't think your post was MUD. Given your overreaction to my post, I might change my mind.

Anyways, still no positive on the OPK. I have an appointment Thursday for an ultrasound.
I think using emoticons are more immature to express a mood, than, perhaps, anything else in life.
I'm not a very dramatic person. I simply started out with reporting on where I was in my journey to conceive.
I have not written anything inappropriate for this kind of forum. Whether I wrote "sex" (which I have in a post above) or "baby dance," the majority of readers on this forum understand what I intended to say.
There are several things on this forum that are annoying to read, such as the overuse of acronyms. However, I'm not here to pressure someone to write what I prefer to see.
Although it seems the main conversation on my original post, thus far, is in regards to the synonym I used to express natural sexual intercourse, perhaps another woman is going through the same thing that I am and will learn something or be encouraged by my posts.
Some of you may become uncomfortable to know that my nurse calls sex "doing your homework," and the maturing of a follicle, "the quarterback coming out to play."
(Juliet asked: "What's in a name? Would a rose by any other smell as sweet?")
My nurse's word choice doesn't impact me at all. Everyone at the office is closely monitoring my development throughout this cycle and has been very encouraging.
While labels are important, the meaning behind them are what's supposed to be sought. Everyone who has posted about the words I chose to describe having sexual intercourse are proof that "baby dance" means the same as "sex" and using either interchangeably is not confusing to the reader.
With that said, I'm still very excited to be on this journey to becoming pregnant and will continue to post.
Anyways, I still have a negative on the OPK. I'll go to an appointment for an ultrasound tomorrow afternoon.
You asked me if I think you are my god simply because a first letter in a word was capitalized.
If you want to understand what idol worship looks like, Google it. None of the billions of answers will result with anything about a pregnancy forum, the capitalization of the first letter in the word "you," nor anything related to OPK testing.
For the record, you would not be my god even if I capitalized all of the letters in the word "you."
Just Google it.
Also, I'm only going to post about my journey to conceive from this post forward. All of these silly side conversations are irrelevant to what I'm going through and what other women on this forum may be going through.
I'm here to talk about trying to conceive, which is not to be confused with: idol worship, hypothetical situations, "mature words" and "immature words."
I don't care about any of that and neither does the recently married 24-year-old college graduate who is in her first month trying to conceive or the 37-year-old mother of 3 sons who has decided with her husband that now is the time to jump start the process again.
I'm sure I'm not saying anything unreasonable.
Thanks for your feedback.
I will post again after my ultrasound tomorrow afternoon.
You will have to get used to the fact that people are going to do that if this is how you want to communicate. If you want a place to post the intricate details of your reproductive life without comments such as these, then you should consider a blog as PP suggested.
Others are right, you need a blog because you clearly don't actually care how this community works.
Thinking this one may be more of a troll as well.
