How is your cycle going so far?
Well, it's going alright... I've teeter totered on this emotional rollercoaster still. Sometimes I contemplate not TTC, but I'm not getting any younger! So onward OOOOOOOO! LOL! I'm ready for you, BABY!

What cycle day are you on?
Tuesday CD7, Wednesday CD8... probably O in about 6 days on CD14-16, seems like my cycle is getting back to normal for the most part

So what is your plan for this cycle?
Start poas opk's here soon, did one tonight! LOL! I temp everyday, but a few days there during AF I forgot for whatever reasons... I really like to be deligent with it tho!

How are your emotions so far this cycle?
Well, I was happy that AF showed... at that time I was feeling very positive & optimistic that this IS THE CYCLE. Right now ask me that same question and I'd tell ya I dunno! I'm sorta stressed out with all these "things" in life and I'm sure that's not very helpful in the TTC area

What's new?
Not a whole lot, I got hive friday night and still have them! They put me on allegra to try to get rid of them and now I'm wondering what to do during O time if it's going to screw up my CM. I guess it's a wait and see... if anything I'll chug some robitussin as I'm gearing up to O

Are you all stocked up on supplies... opk, hpt, etc
Oh ya, I ordered 100opk's that came with 20hpt's for $21.99 off of eBay! I think it was the best deal I've gotten. Also I have 1 RRER hpt & 1 FRER. Sooo I think I'm more than stocked for this cycle and into others... LOL! Seems like I order more and MORE each time~! I hope that I don't need to order anymore, my FF runs out in 30 days too.

Hey, I'm sorry if I'm forgetting anyone... I left my notebook somewhere and I can't find it. My memory stinks so I use a notebook for ALLOT! LOL!

How is your cycle going so far? good! just waiting to ovulate

What cycle day are you on? CD10

So what is your plan for this cycle? lots of BD-ing, using OPK's for the 1st time...

How are your emotions so far this cycle? I'm staying positive & feel extremely determined to make this happen

What's new? Nothing's really new. Hoping I ovulate soon. We're headed to the mountains this weekend with a big group of friends. I'm hoping we get enough privacy to TTC up there!


How are your emotions so far this cycle? Happy that I don't have any tubal blockages

Are you all stocked up on supplies... opk, hpt, etc
Bought a 20 day pack of OPK's. I actually started testing on CD 5. WAY early, but I was too excited to wait!

[TeresaSuperMama]

Yeah! I have some cycle buddies!

How is your cycle going so far?
Irritating the crap out of me. I keep thinking I am about to O, but my OPKs are still negative. Not only are they not turning positive, they are getting lighter and not darker! Very irritating! I am peeing like crazy today which sometimes is an O sign for me. That and I had some spotting, really, really faint nothing like I usually have yesterday too. I was hoping it was O spotting which I have never had, but who knows.

What cycle day are you on?
cd 12 as of today (Wed 10/21)

So what is your plan for this cycle?
Using OPKs and Preseed, maybe Instead cups too. I'm trying to bd as much as possible once I got a + OPK, but not so much I make my dh feel stressed out.

How are your emotions so far this cycle?
Up and down honestly. I am not depressed like I was so that is good.

What's new?
Beta check again tomorrow and doctors appt on Friday. I am sure everything is down, but it'll be nice to hear it confirmed.

Are you all stocked up on supplies... opk, hpt, etc
Yep, got tons of stuff. Well, I don't have any good HPTs at the moment, but going to try my hardest not to buy any until I am sure I have O'd. I have tons of cheapie OPKs and HPTs though and I have some digi OPKs as well. I have Preseed & Instead Cups too.

[Trish36]

How is your cycle going so far? okay I guess. Got a terrible cold and feel like crap but otherwise okay.

What cycle day are you on? cd13 & 2dpo. Felt really crampy and tired last night.

So what is your plan for this cycle? Well I was taking Femara and had 1 big and some smaller follies, injected hcg on Sunday cd10 and O'd next evening, so now I am in the 2WW and praying that it worked. We bd'd the day before and within hours of O'ing and I do have my suspicions that I am, but we'll have to wait and see. The progesterone is making me sleepy on top of everything else.

How are your emotions so far this cycle? Pretty positive so far. Too exhausted and too busy at work to think about it really.

What's new? Have a cold, short on money, busy at work....the usual....blah!

How are your emotions so far this cycle? I get irritated very quickly and find that I lose my patience with everyone.

Are you all stocked up on supplies... opk, hpt, etc? I have a whole bunch of IC hpt that I got off eBay. So I can poas every day until AF is due. The hcg trigger is still in my system though.

[Celena]

AMY... I really like the OPK strips! I can POAS and get those poas'aholic urges out with those. I start about a week after CD1 generally with 1 strip after 2pm sometime and then around CD10 do it twice a day 2pm & 8pm until I get +'s and then stop with the 1st - afterwards.

I hope we all get to move to the July DDC! Com'on this has to be a month for a huge BFP movement!!!

TERESA... WOOT WOOT! I'm glaad you're feeling pretty good overall and not depressed... that can definitely be a damper on TTC. HAHAHA, all the BD'ing would make that better tho it's great mood mender and stress reliever!!! Our DH's shouldn't complain, they are the lucky hubby's that ARE GETTING LOTS O LOVIN!!! But ya I can see how we can stress our DH's out by wanting it certain times to optimize catching the eggie.

TRISH... I'm glad to hear that you've figured out what the proges. supplement does to ya so it doesn't confuse you with EPS. I hope that this cycle it works for you!!! I can see how it would take a cycle or two for it to work because of all the timing and body trying to adjust to it. Only days away tho and already in the 2WW. We'll all be joining your here shortly and we can get thru it together. I wonder if you LP will be longer since you O'd early? Did your RE say anything about that with the MA?

AFM...

I'm feeling ALLOT more optimistic today... It sure helps getting out in the sunshine that's for darn sure!

I think this cycle we're not going to BD everyday, give at least a day between so DH's swimmers can bulk up the troops before storming the "eggie" LMAO!!!

So do any of you have any recommendations of supplements that you think *boost* your fertility?

I've been taking the b-complex this being my 2nd cycle... and I'm going to be taking the baby asprin. Figured it can't hurt right? Altho my dr just put me on an antihistamine for the hives... I guess I'll use some robitussin to increase CM if there is a problem with that. TMI, but I still feel pretty juicy so perhaps it won't hurt things. The first cycle that I got pg I was on cold meds thinking I was sick when really it was just being preggers... so maybe some cold meds are the trick dunno! Not keen on taking stuff I don't need tho.

[amybn]

I have 2 questions for ya:

Celena- what does the Baby Asprin do?

Trish- I've never heard of HCG injections...what's the purpose of that?

I've learned SOOO much from this site! I'm addicted

[Trish36]

Celena - I have to go in for my bt on the 1st and if it's - then I stop the progesterone and AF will come a couple of days later...so that could make my LP shorter. But as long as I take the supplement I think I'll be okay. I am really positive though...kind of have a feeling this is it! Hope you girls get to the 2WW quick so we can obsess together!

Amy - I'm also on baby aspirin. it's supposed to get the blood flowing better to the uterus. it's usually given if you have a blood clotting disorder or if you have unexplained infertility. The hcg trigger is given when you are taking meds to stimulate ovulation or to make the eggies better (like clomid or femara). you take the hcg trigger to ensure that all your mature eggies get released or it helps those ladies who don't usually ovulate on their own. I have also learnt tons of stuff in the past 8 months...it's amazing.

[TeresaSuperMama]

Celena - I totally hear you on the not getting any younger part. I'm not that old, but it has been kicking in lately that I am not in my prime either. I hope you get a positive OPK soon! Good luck

Amy - Good luck to you! I hope you have fun this weekend. Maybe you'll get a positive OPK and get in lots of bding being in a new environment. I swear I have conceived half of my pregnancies being out of town.

Trish - Oh, how exciting! Good luck to you! I hope that you released an nice big fat egg that those swimmers coudn't miss! Sorry the progesterone is making you tired, but hopefully it's doing it's thing and you'll get a nice BFP soon.

Me, I'm gonna pee on some more OPKs today. Dang it one of them has to come up positive sooner or later.

Oh and I have my beta hcg levels checked again today. I so hope they are back to 0. I really think they are, but it'll feel better just to hear it.

[HopefulMommy81]

Well, I think I'm going to join in as a 4th quarter girl, k? I'm on CD 8, no idea if I will be back to a "normal" cycle this cycle, but I'm hoping so!!!




How is your cycle going so far? Eh, better since I finally passed everything and stopped spotting! However, before my BFP last cycle I never got heartburn, and I swear, ever since like 3 DPO last cycle I have it every day- it sucks!!!


What cycle day are you on? CD 8...didn't O until CD 19 last cycle but we'll see what's up with this one!

So what is your plan for this cycle? Very similar to last cycle. I took Geritol Complete though last cycle and I switched to FertilAide....we'll see how that goes. Also using OPK's, gonna take some Mucinex (have some horrible sinus headaches anyway too), and use Preseed and probably when I get a + OPK down some grafruit juice. Also of course continue my high-dose folic acid

How are your emotions so far this cycle? Honestly, not positive at all. I'm really nervous. I have a call into the doctor's office though to discuss being put on baby aspirin. Apparently a different provider is going to call me back so we'll see what she says!

What's new? Got paid today, woohoo! And made my last car payment so that's another $406.19 in my account every month so that's good! Keep getting horrible headaches though- I think it's the change in weather since I have bad allergies.

How are your emotions so far this cycle? Well, I'm still kinda witchy after my chemical, but I'm trying to be positive and be nice LOL

Are you all stocked up on supplies... opk, hpt, etc? I have a bunch of IC OPK's, some IC HPT's, and a variety of other HPT's from last cycle. I started using my OPK's early this cycle though so I may have to restock!

[TeresaSuperMama]

Hey Jacque! I was going to send you a link to tell you to join us over here. Yeah on the last car payment! I think I am going to buy some Geritol Complete tomorrow. At least I'll have something to try.

LOL yes, very happy about my last car payment. I think the Geritol Complete is worth a shot- it's just a multivitamin so doesn't hurt anything. I even made DH take them until I O'ed LOL We'll see how the FertilAide works...I figure I'll use the 1 1/2 bottles I have and switch back to Geritol Complete if I don't have my BFP by then!

So the doctor never called me back today- hope they call tomorrow otherwise I have to wait the weekend

[*MomofO&Nat*]

Hey girlies! I got EWCM!!! I am so excited! I'm still waiting for my OPKs to cooperate, but I'm getting somewhere at least.

[*MomofO&Nat*]

Yay Teresa for CM! I am waiting for mine. Hope it is a CM filled weekend Kinda gross, but I am hoping

[TeresaSuperMama]

Looky what I got! I am so excited!

[*MomofO&Nat*]

I hope your dh is feeling better. I am hoping nobody gets sick around here or at least not until I have pretty crosshairs.

[*MomofO&Nat*]

Yeah, he had a rash on his torso and we thought it might be chicken pox since he only had a mild case as a child. It looks better today though, I didn't want to go near him until I knew he was not contagious My son just got his varicella vaccine last week so I know he is safe at least.

[Kary♥RN]

Just wanted to wish you girls luck!!!!! I hope you all catch your eggies!!!!

[Trish36]

Teresa = woohooo! go catch that eggie!!!!
I just noticed a couple of red spots on my panty liner. Same thing yesterday. I haven't had any on the tp or anything, just these little drips of red. I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding. I've never had that before with any of my pregnancies so that would be someting new. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
