Also in the last week I had someone tell me I should be using clomid and someone else suggested I see an RE because its been 6 months. I absolutely refuse to believe that just because I'm over the magical age of 35 I need to think of myself as having weak eggs and need intervention. I'm still young damn it! I can do a forearm stand like no ones business and pop out a scorpion pose in it. vent over lol
I'm so annoyed with body! Still no AF. it should've been here on Sunday. I had been pretty consistent with every 28 days but now we are on 30 something. This is cruel
Just wanted to let you guys know I may not be on here for about a week. I need to re focus. Nothing against you obviously. I just don't want TTC becoming the thing I'm always thinking about when there is so much in my life I need to be greatful for now. From the mention of RE and immature eggs I just don't want myself thinking that something is wrong with me and I definitely don't want to start going the route of medication when I made it very clear to myself that I just want to have "fun" for a few months before possibly trying anything else. I just can't take any added stress right now. I hope to be back near my O time.
Waiting for ovulation. My RE gave me the go ahead to try another iui this cycle after last cycle ended in CP. i started heavy spotting/light bleeding on last Thursday and full flow on Monday that just ended yesterday. My HCG is down to 1. I started letrozole yesterday. Monitoring will start Friday as we are not sure how the CP affected my cycle.
@Mack2342 the odds for me according to my RE went from <1% chance on my own to 8% chance with iui - which worked first time until it ended in early loss. I am 37 and have a blocked tube which decreases my odds. good luck!!
@bpietronicco. Thanks. I'm still waiting for my darn AF to show so we can start process. I don't know why I went back to a 30 something day cycle. I was at 28 days the last 3 cycles. I'm trying to stay positive but every time my body throws me for a loop
@SP128. Well I was just reading your other post inTWW about malfunctioning HPTs. Maybe that's it! Lol. I had ultrasound Friday before AF was supposed to arrive and RE said no signs of pregnancy. When it didn't arrive by this past Wednesday I took test and it was neg. just a constant reminder...today is my EDD. Body could have been nice to me and had AF show up. I was feeling good about the RE appt and treatment with this cycle. It now I don't know what to think. It's so frustrating
Finally got my solid smiley after 5.5 days of flashing smileys. I started early in case the mc changed anything but seems my O day is around the same although the flashing smiley came early.
We bd'd last night and will tonight. Tomorrow may be an issue (out of town for work) but should be ok for Tuesday. Hope Monday is not the ideal day! I know it should be fine but of course I worry.... Is there anything that says what the BEST day to bd is? i.e. before or during O? I know some bd every other day until O then 3 days in a row.... wasn't sure what research says.
Last time when I had the mc we bd 2 days before solid smiley and wasn't able to bd again until 2 days after so who knows!
I'm sorry @Mack2342 - Waiting for AF when you know your not KU is a total mind f but you will feel better once AF comes and you can start treating with your RE. All of this happening on your EDD just makes it all worse. Sending you hugs!
So my AF ended with 3 days of EWCM and now I'm dry as can be. It's hard to believe I actually ovulated at cd8, so I might already be out this month. I've been forgetting to temp, and the one OPK I've done was negative this evening. We've decided to take it easy this month anyway and just BD when we feel like it, but I didn't want to miss it altogether either. Whoops.
I only rely on CM which I've learned a lot about in the last 8 months. It seems more prominent since the loss. I always O around cd 15 or 16 which isn't until next week.
I'm mostly using the OPKs for additional data points/potential dating. It's kinda hard for me to miss my FW ... my libido gets out. of. control. I lusted after my BIL HARD in December because DH wasn't around to help me take care of things. It was bad.
Sorry you are here @SP128 - I'm surprising chill this cycle. Mentioned sex to dh last night and he was tired and mention tonight instead. I was like sure totally fine!
FF keeps changing my O date. UGH! I had a cold the past few days and I think that triggered FF to think I O'd earlier. So, I am having some O pains on my right side (woohoo, not the ectopic side) so I think I am officially moving over to the 2ww.
@justsuzie Ugh, that stinks! At least you can feel it! I never have. I got a positive OPK this afternoon (first time!), BD this evening, then got a negative OPK, so I'll be joining you soon!
@pandawares I think I feel them but I also have gas cramps all the time because I eat thinker I'm not supposed to. So who knows. I think I psychologically make myself feel them.
Whoo hoooo, Yesterday was CD 16 and I finally got a positive OPK. Husband is out of town Thursday - Friday so fingers crossed that the BD we did last night and the last couple of nights was sufficient. Today, CD 17, I'm crampy with what feels like gas pains.
How's everyone else doing?

I'm doing well - I'm projecting O on or by Tuesday next week which means we need to get busy starting tonight. Last month I had a ton of CM all fertile. I haven't had it yet come out like it was last time.
Re: March Waiting to O....
@vlagrl29 enjoy your break it's nice to not be so focused on ttc sometimes.
@Mack2342 I feel you. I thought I had started, but it's still just spotting. Ugh!

@pandawares Can I tell you how much I despise spotting? It signifies upcoming AF and the end of another mother f in cycle.
