Hello everyone! Two week wait post time! Tell us how many DPO you are, what you're doing/not doing this month, when/if you'll test, and symptoms that have you wondering if this is THE month! If you haven't already made a separate intro, please first do so in a separate discussion thread so we can get to know you! Good luck!

Hello ladies,
It's so quiet on the boards! I've been busy this week with life and my man's Drs appts, but I'm wondering if anyone is still here?

Today is 6dpo.
Had a lot of cramping this morning, not really reading into it. I'll probably test on Friday or Saturday. I usually can't hold off until AF arrives

This month I got a peak reading on cd9, so that's definitely different. I've been on the AIP diet for 6/7 weeks now. Hoping that's helping reduce inflammation and will contribute to regulating hormones.
We only got to bd -2 & -1, but we did use preseed.

And...nothing....that was a typo

I'm still here! Was wondering the same thing....so quiet here lately!

@thistle8677 fx for you this month! Maybe early O will be the trick.

I think im 11dpo, this is purely based on O pain and the fact that when I went back and looked at my cycles AF arrives like clockwork 14 days after O pain. If I'm right, then my negative-nancitude was all wrong and we actually had decent timing (-4,-2,0,+3).....although most BD was in the shower (does that even matter?!).

I have all of my regular pre-AF symptoms: brown spotting since 9dpo, R sided breast tenderness (anyone else get one-sided boob pain??), some slight, low cramping. I won't test unless AF is late.

If this month turns out to be a bust it's onto SA for my SO (if he can get his PCP to call him back, argh!) and HSG for me.

@PoeMasque do you not use opk's or chart temps for a reason?
You may have noted this earlier and I didn't see it or forgot, I'm just curious. Some would argue you won't know if you O for sure without charting temps.

As I've gotten older, I certainly cannot rely only on symptoms of O. In fact, had I not started opk's early this month, I would have missed it all together.
Just a thought.

Hi ladies, good luck to both of you this month! Unfortunately, DH is out of town at -3, -2 and -1 (so aggravating, he never travels for work, and finally able to start TTC after being benched for 3 months. Really? His work couldn't have sent him out of town then? what about my needs!? lol) Maybe just as well, recent cold and allergies kind of take away from BD mood; and there's still some time when he gets back home. I think because we took a break for past couple months (recover from ectopic surgery) I'm starting to feel really anxious... it comes and it goes, but now really feeling it since my fertile window starts tomorrow. Know it's important to stay relaxed, but - ahhh easier said than done! Anyway, thanks for letting me vent!

Hi Ladies,
I hope your two is going smoothly and not causing you to pull out your hair too much (or more than normal). My Dh and I just completed a iui on Sunday after a Pregynl trigger and ultrosound on friday. I am very impatiently waiting. I started testing out my trigger and it looked like it was almost gone to have a bit more of a surge (though still faint and fairly surely not anything more than that). I would like to be one of those people that hold off from testing but I fail at that self control.
Thanks for listening and allowing me to be part of your group.

@thistle8677 no, I don't temp or use OPKs. It would be impossible with my work schedule to get accurate temps and OPKs would make me a crazy person. I have tracked my O pain for the last 2 years, AF exactly 14 days after each time! Having had the TVUS for the BC studies I participated in I could actually see on the screen that a folicle was maturing, then when it ruptured, which always coincided with O pain. I do have months with no O pain (maybe 2 per year?), so I figured those were annovulatory.

But all that aside, I decided at the start of last cycle that I needed to relax about all of this and part of helping me relax is that we just BD every other day all month (when I'm not sick!). So no tracking really needed other than to tell me how many DPO I am

@Lu19 I feel you on the anxiety! My work schedule often puts me out of town right in the middle of O week, so I have to drive home between 12 hour swing shifts just to have sex! Haha.

@BecauseLove good luck on the IUI! I've heard they have great success rates

woot!

BecauseLove · March 2016

Thanks PoeMasque! I think the success rate for under 35 is roughly 80 percent after 6 goes (but for per time at 36 its like 10-15 percent which isn't much but I will take it)! Fingers, toes, etc all crossed hoping this is the one!

thistle8677 · March 2016

@Lu19 that's so frustrating! And I totally hear you on trying not to stress! This journey requires a lot of skill set to stay sane and positive. Still hopeful for you
