So as you can see from my siggy, and I've talked about...I planned to not start TTC again until April.

My story...I had a D&C in August at 10 weeks, pregnant again in November, natural m/c at 6 weeks in December. AF came Jan 24th, so today I am on CD16. And I'm Oing. I had obvious EWCM yesterday and a +OPK today. We have not BD in a while, so if we don't tonight, there is 0% change of being pregnant this cycle. (Which was the plan!)

Now, after the 2nd m/c....I told my Dr that we were waiting a few months, so I never had the "when is it okay to ttc again" talk. After my D&C at 10 weeks, he said I could try again as soon as AF came. Since this was natural, and only at 6 weeks, I'd guess that he would say the same.

Now the real reason I'm considering BD tonight/TTC this cycle is because this is such an early O date for me. The main reason I was waiting until April was to give my body time to get back to normal. Before my losses I O'd on CD18/18/17, got pregnant, then after my losses it was CD24/CD21/CD19, got pregnant....Last cycle (the cycle OF the m/c) I O'd on CD25. So I figured it would be April before O got back to CD18 or so which is normal for me. But today being CD16 and definitely O'ing today/tomorrow makes me think it's my body's way of telling me it's back to normal.

Now my only hesitation is that my Dr agreed to check my progesterone at 7DPO this cycle. He doesn't think that's the issue, he's only doing it because I've asked. (Obviously he can't know it isn't the issue though). So if I do get pregnant this cycle, that would throw off the progesterone results I'm guessing, and it would be too late once I get the results to start a supplement if my progesterone is low (since they start the supplement right at O time each cycle right?).

Granted, I know just because we BD tonight doesn't mean I'll get pregnant by any means. But, abstaining tonight means we 100% will not.

Would you BD tonight? (We wanted to anyway since it had been so long and we didn't Fri or Sat because of stuff going on....but I didn't think I'd O for another week so I figured it was "safe")

TTC will drive me insane

[..Jessica..]

Honestly Christine,

I would BD anyway! If you get pregnant, then it was meant to be, if not, then you're good to go for April! Honestly though girl....you had a natural m/c and you're as healthy as can be.

I would honestly go for it. What do you have to lose???



*I know, I'm no help! *

[Christine-MA]

You are a help! I know that's the answer I was going for lol And even if everyone said not to, I probably would anyway I just wanted to explain the situation though and get opinions.

[huckleberry312]

Honestly I would. If your body is ready for pregnancy it will happen. Just play it as it goes. In Aug. you had a D&C and the second time it was a natural miscarriage. I heard that with a natural miscarriage your body recovers faster. I know with mine in Aug. I went right back on schedule. I couldn't believe it. I totally agree with Jessica...go for it.

[KDD]

Since you seem to be on the fence about waiting to TTC until April, I say BD tonight. Like you said, you may not get pg anyway, but for sure you won't if you don't try.

[L-SBB]

Christine, since I know what answer you're looking for - of course I'll agree to give it to you!!

I think it's similar to the Lottery's slogan "you can't win if you don't play"...except in TTC-land it's "you can't get pregnant if you don't BD!" So if you feel like you're ready now, then go for it! I agree with Jessica...if it works this cycle, then it's destiny, and if not...there's always next cycle for the additional testing.

Good luck tonight!!!!

Ok I know I"m too late here, but I agree with the others hehe. GL!

[Christine-MA]

Now we just wait

I probably won't push him again tonight, he's been working killer hours....I was almost afraid asking yesterday was pointless because he wanted to go to bed at 8:30 (that has never happened since I've known him), but we did BD. So if it was meant to be, it was meant to be!

[Mommy0305]

Good luck!

[~Lynda~]

well i'm late here too, but you KNOW what i would have said...

Glad you went for it!!! now we wait, and i stalk!!!!

Yay! I know I'm a late response to this one, but I would have told you exactly what everyone else said! hey, I get to use this emoticon----->

Don't worry about the progesterone. They can test it when you get your bfp and start you on supplements if necessary. With my last PG, they tested me at 5wks with the intention of starting me on it if needed (not needed, levels were fine). I'm sooooo excited for you! I hope, if it's meant to be, that you get your BFP! KUP and Good luck!

[~~~Sara~~~]

I would have said go for it, if it's meant to be, well you will know soon enough!

Yay for you!

[Christine-MA]

I lied. I pushed him again last night LOL So I feel we actually have a good chance (as good as any other month I was TTC). My CM dried up today, so I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday. My temp didn't jump today, but if does the next 3 days, then FF will give me CH yesterday.

I'll still get my progesterone checked at 7dpo....is that too early for a blood hcg test??

[~Lynda~]

yep that's too early for a HCG/blood test. i'm glad you're in it for this cycle!!! G/L
