1. How long have you been TTC?

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances?

3. Good or bad feeling about this month?

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.?

Hulabalu · October 2015

1: First month for me!

2: Temping, OPKs, trying to get my husband in the mood more often...

3. No feeling what so ever... I haven't O'ed yet.

4. I am so ambivalent! I am excited we are finally doing this, at the same time I am pretty terrified of the idea that I might actually be pregnant at the end of this month!!! Timing-wise I would prefer getting KU in December or January, but because it might take some time I didn't want to wait any longer.

als1982 · October 2015

1. We've been TTC since May.

2. Sex

3. It's been a pretty uneventful month. We have a vacation in November and then the holidays so I'm excited to just get through October.

4. If it happens it happens, if it doesn't it doesn't. I'm good with whatever!

dsm2015 · October 2015

1. This is our 1st cycle

2. Sex ED/EOD Not temping or charting yet

3. No feelings yet, I should have O'd or will very soon, so I we are just going to continue to HIO this weekend.

4. I am more anxious for the end of this cycle than I thought I would be. I am ready to just skip the next week and hope for a BFP.

1. How long have you been TTC?
This is the first official cycle; last most we did the ntnp thing.

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances?
Charting (temping + cf), bd-ing (a lot haha), prenatals, generally trying to be more health conscious. Nothing serious at this point.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month?
I have a bad feeling about it. I just assume it'll take a few months at least to get pregnant. I mean, plenty of people get it on the first month but it can also take a year so I'm trying to accept that it might not happen quickly--in case it doesn't!

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.?
I am all over the place; all of the above. We're both ready and excited and know it's right but of course those other negative feelings creep in here and there. Not so much the stressed but those typical "am I going to be a good mom", "what's this going to do to my body", "how crazy different is life going to be", etc. questions. Overall, excited though!

1. How long have you been TTC? This is our seventh cycle TTC.

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? We are having sex EOD, hoping that helps us. I haven't had the best luck with temping/charting. I am using the FF app but without having a consistent temp. reading I know it won't be as accurate as it could be. My husband doesn't think I need to temp. I would do it secretly, but my alarm wakes him up in the mornings so he would know. If we do not have any luck this month I am going to tell him to suck it up.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? I have a good feeling. I am trying not to over think things this cycle.

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? I am feeling hopeful.

I know! It is such a confusing time! I am equally scared of both getting pregnant and not getting pregnant...

EasterEggs · October 2015

1. This is our second month, but last month didn't exactly count since my husband was away for the first two weeks and I think he came back on the exact day I was ovulating, so pretty sure we missed most of the fertile window.

2. I'm using OPKs this month, but we have always had regular sex throughout my cycles so I'm hoping that continuing doing that is the thing that really counts.

3. I flip flop between feeling super hopeful and super discouraged! But I haven't even ovulated this month, so I'm trying not to think about our chances too much right now.

4. So excited! And impatient. I do have some concerns about how everything is going to change, but we're so ready for this that I'm not too worried.

pourmeanothermocktail · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? First month!

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? Temping, charting a little, and sex EOD until day 10, then ED.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? Bad - just went off the pill and haven't had a normal cycle yet, plus didn't get my normal withdrawal bleeding at end of last two packs. Tho, my temps are starting to look good and saw a dip today, maybe I'll see a rise tomorrow?

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? Very excited!!!!! Even though we're moving across the country in 10 days and starting entirely new careers (which we're not 100% sure of or locked into yet), I just can't help but feel positive like this is the right direction to be moving in right now.

FlightyAquarius · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? This is my third cycle.

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? We are NTNP, but am really hoping to get KU. I did a home ovulation test this past month because my cycle is all over the place, but we aren't temping or tracking yet.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? Not sure - I was feeling bad, but am 4 days late. That's not that unusual for me, but this month as been especially weird. I've been spotting with no real visit from AF. Had a BFN a couple of days ago, but I probably have tested to early. I have no patience for waiting.

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? Excited to be a mom and to see my husband be a dad. I'm not too worried about having or taking care of a baby/child, as I was in high school when my sisters were born. I'm really stressed about labor though. I know that it's in the distant future, but too many people have shared horror stories with me.

vampbride99 · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? This is our first cycle

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? Lots of sex lol

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? I'm not exactly sure. I've been going back and forth on whether or not "this is it"....I'll be testing soon so I'm hoping for the best!

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? I've been feeling a bit of everything really. I'm nervous, but at the same time I'm really excited. My hubby is almost more excited than I am lol....he really wants to be a dad, so I'm really hoping that I get that BFP soon!

dabeezkneez · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? Since September 1st
2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? Temping, charting, tracking cm, I tried opks...
3. Good or bad feeling about this month? I started out with a great feeling about this month! I had a feeling it was my month. However I waiver in my conviction and I'm really not sure... I still have nice and high temps above my coverline. We will see how tomorrows temp looks and I'll decide if I want to test or not.
4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? Excited, conflicted, hopeful... I feel like I need to do this thing - I'm turning 31 soon!!!!

Oh and I used to be lovearoo

BigBadWolf12 · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC?
Just went off birth control!

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances?

Sex more often, not obsessing yet

3. Good or bad feeling about this month?

It's our first month, so I feel excited to start this finally. I've wanted to start TTC for a couple of years, but the timing wasn't right in terms of our jobs / country of living.....DH was on board with TTC before the summer, and now we're finally in a good living condition to actually start TTC

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.?

Excited and worried....excited about starting and the potential to become parents...worried that we might be one of the couples who has trouble conceiving. I have lurked off and on for the past few years, so I'm excited to finally feel like I'm not just trying to jump the gun to the next part of our lives but we're finally starting down this road

Good luck to all

kaitlink33 · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? ntnp since 2012 and officially trying since january

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? all the things

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? I am for sure out this current month and just started provera today to jumpstart AF, but I am hoping next cycle is our cycle since we will be trying injectables and the Dr. seems certain this will make me O.

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? I really want this next cycle to be our cycle because I seem to be having TTC breakdowns more and more often and its getter harder physically and emotionally.

cait5413 · October 2015

1. Since May

2. Temping, charting, OPKs, just bought some conception-friendly lube, but haven't tried it yet

3. Feeling ok so far, but it's early in the cycle for me

4. This definitely fluctuates throughout my cycle. Right now, i'm pretty calm about it, but when AF arrives, I'm generally a mess. I'm getting more used to it, but it is stressful.

I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. Fingers crossed that the next cycle is your cycle!

charmedlifex3 · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? Since last month, kinda sorta.We're in the NTNP boat - we'll figure out if we need to be more ... well more.

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? I went off birth control? That counts right!? We're "letting things happen" for the first bit.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? As far as being successful? Bad. We've both been crazy busy, and I've been out of town, and down at my parents more than I would like. I mean, I love seeing my parents, but with my mom sick it's less fun, and I feel obligated to go there more often - not helping the TTC situation

4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.? Feeling better about it now DH is up for a promotion! I'm the primary income in our house which was a bit of a stressor, since you never know what can happen if we do succeed...

MommaChrissie27 · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC?
This is our first month TTC! But we've felt ready for a long time.
2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances?
Regularly doing the deed, of course! Also I've never been on BC and am tracking my cycles/ovulation.
3. Good or bad feeling about this month?
I have a good feeling about it, but trying not to get too wound up just in case! It is our first month trying, after all!
4. How are your feelings about TTC - excited, stressed, concerned, etc.?
I'm mostly excited, with a little bit of worry thrown in there as well. DH and I feel that now is the right time to start trying, but people will probably think we're crazy, because we are moving countries in a few months! So I'm nervous about people's judgments of our decision, and also about hereditary all-day sickness that my mother and her mother and her mother before her have all suffered from for 5-6 months of pregnancy! Only time will tell, though!

Good luck to everyone else who's TTC! xxx

reesaXden · October 2015

1. How long have you been TTC? We started TTC in June and got pregnant the first month but that ended in a 12week MMC so we are on our 1st month TTC after loss.

2. Are you doing anything to improve your chances? BD EOD/ED, staying well hydrated, PNV, and tracking ovulation with CM and opks. I *should* ovulate this weekend.

3. Good or bad feeling about this month? I have a good feeling. We haven't had any issues conceiving with my other two pregnancies so I'm hoping that's the case this time as well.
