Hello lovely 4th quarter girls, how is everyone doing?

I know that some have decided not to TTC or are taking a break,
but please update us if you'd like to

we'd love to hear from you anyways!!!

So what's going on with you... let's hear it!

farasha · #2 November 17th, 2009, 05:17 PM

I'm almost on CD1 and I'm making my TTC COME BACK THIS MONTH! WOOT WOOT!

Is this my group?

Should I start another group?

Because I'm ready to rumble! (aka BD) and I need some ladies to obsess with me!!!

Celena · #3 November 17th, 2009, 05:32 PM

Well I guess I'll go first...

I'm on CD7, had a super short and super light AF. My cycle could quiet possibly normalizing back to a 28 day cycle, but that is yet to be determined. We'll see. I hope that I don't "find out"

that this cycle brings me an August babe.

I'm going to be going to a new Rheumatologist here soon and I hope BEFORE O time in case I have a MRI or CT scan. Bloodwork is no biggie as long as I don't have to have any weird drugs or radiation dyes injected into me... so we'll see. I tried to get the appt set up today, but the one office they referred me to said it can be 6wks out! I might just call someone else who can get me in much faster. I've been to a rheu. before he gave up after he tried all the "fibro" drugs on me.... they need to do more research & testing on me tho. They came to the "fibromyalgia" diagnosis TOO FAST and not with enough testing.

Kristen HOP in lady!!! This is your group, we'd love to have you!!!

Hi C and everyone else,
I am on CD 5 and finishing up with AF. Looking towards O time and trying to figure out how to BD when I am projected to ovulate on Thanksgiving with a house full of relatives

I am hoping I O early or late or things could get tricky.

farasha · #5 November 18th, 2009, 03:19 AM

We're trying clomid for the first time this cycle, and I'm excited to maybe ovulate before day 283287373! I have no idea when I'll O... I'm hoping it's after Thanksgiving too. We're traveling that week and I'll otherwise have to join the mile high club!

momof6lopez · #6 November 18th, 2009, 04:12 AM

Kristin- your bringing lots of positive energy to the group this month, I cant wait!

Celena- I have been there, trying to schedule tests/procedures before O, that sucks! I have been lucky, but usually my stuff requires me to be "put under", and messes with my O anyway!

Hoping that you go uneventfull with your tests and all works out.

Kelsue- A house full of relatives- God Bless You- Im a screamer, it would never work out

All of my relatives would feel like they were casted for a porn movie!

As for me, cd9 today, and should be o'ing by tomorrow already! CP and CM are a green light, should have my + opk by mid afternoon...I have my u/s for follie scan this morning at 7:30am, will update when I get back.

hehehehehehe. I think I'm going to love this group!

Good luck at your scan!!

Trish36 · #8 November 18th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Kristin - you go girl!!! Good luck this month and I hope it brings a BFP to all of us!!!!

Celena - hope your tests go well and it doesn't mess with O time and I hope that you don't find out how long this cycle could have been either!

Kelsue - enjoy the time with your family!

Lori - I scanned your other post - yay for a great looking follie!

AFM - I'm no cd16 today. We weren't trying this month and didn't time our bd'ing at all. So much stuff was happening in the past 2 weeks that it was just impossible to even think about it. I did not sleep well for 3 nights straight this past weekend, as Isabelle had a bladder infection. So I think I'm in need of catching up on sleep cause I am soooooooooo tired. I don't know what is going on with me. I went to bed at 8pm last night and woke up feeling like crap. I tried to temp, but I think it was like 2am when I woke up and stuck that thermometer in my mouth and then fell asleep...that's how out of it I was. So that temp is not reliable. I'm throwing this cycle out the window anyway.
Going to be busy this weekend as Isabelle is having her tonsils removed. Good thing - I won't be able to obsess over my body.

momof6lopez · #9 November 18th, 2009, 10:58 AM

Trish, Im sorry to hear about your daughters tonsils. Thats gonna suck big time. My neice had hers out when she was 2.5yrs. she did really well, surprisingly! I hope yours will not be in too much discomfort. Sorry about this cycle too, I know you have had a rough few months, a much needed break is awaiting you!

sportsmom2 · #10 November 18th, 2009, 01:42 PM

I am joining in your group. AF is here (sorta) still just spotting, but the cramps are definitely here so I may need to count tomorrow as CD1. With a 24 day cycle, I have no idea how to know when my "O" is... I assumed divide 24 in half and call it on the 12th. Any suggestions would be great. I am not going to buy OPK's because of the expense and for the fact my DH doesn't like them. Or maybe I can sneak them??

Anyway- looking forward to this post so that I will have an outlet for my frustrations as well as my triumphs...

zkat · #11 November 18th, 2009, 02:15 PM

Hey Guys - Delurking from Kary's Cycle buddies! Dianna - Very sorry about AF showing up. I also have a 24 day cycle and usually O on cycle day 10, with a 14 day luteal phase. This has been my first cycle charting and it really has helped me a lot in determining that yes - I do ovulate and it is on Cycle day 10. It was also very helpful for me as I am on cyle day 78 post m/c (yes - you read that right) I had two anovulatory cyles after the m/c and if I had not been charting - I would have gone INSANE!

Now ladies - I must start a whole new amusing thread on TTC around the holidays with a house full of family!

Kat.

sportsmom2 · #12 November 18th, 2009, 05:00 PM

I have never charted... can someone lead me in the right direction.

Hi Diana,

Some of the basics are you need a BBT (basal body thermometer) they sell them at walmart, target, etc... you take your temp right when you wake up, BEFORE you get out of bed. Write it down or use something like Fertility Friend to log it with. There's also other fertility awareness methods that help with charting like checking your cervical placement & cervical mucous. I think on FF's website they have a ton of free courses to teach you more about this.

Here's something from Fertility Friend's website...

Free Fertility Charting Course - FertilityFriend.com's Education Center

they have good info on their site. I pay for a subscription to get the extra's, but they have a basic membership that is free and is great! (sometimes they give you a VIP pass so you can try out the VIP membership to see if you'd like it) To start the basic membership is perfect and FREE

(how many more times can I say free?)

I hope this isn't confusing. I never used the VIP until this go around... I used the free basic membership like 9yrs ago and it was perfect.

sportsmom2 · #14 November 19th, 2009, 08:13 PM

Thanks for the advice about Fertility Friend. I will have to read up on it this weekend when I have time to figure it out.

JessP · #15 November 19th, 2009, 08:53 PM

We are NTNP and leaving in God's hands from here on out

. I was due for AF the 14th. Started spotting and still doing that with a light flow. Nothing like normal but went to my military dr and they didn't seem to think I was pregnant. So just waiting for this weird AF to go away and enjoy the holidays

. I hope you ladies get lots of wonderful BFP's for Christmas.

momof6lopez · #16 November 19th, 2009, 09:59 PM

Im officially 1dpo in about 10min.

As most of you read my post earlier on the main board, Im being defient and disobeying my RE. Lets see if a mothers gut feeling can come true. Oh, and since I triggered, I have a bfp for the next week or so!

That will keep me from POAS until 10dpo, thats for sure! I might save a boat load of money this cycle, even if I dont get pg

Theres something to be thankful for!

JessP · #17 November 21st, 2009, 09:00 PM

Lori I hope this is it for you.
My regular AF showed

. I knew she would and I looked she was 14 days after I o'd which is totally normal for me. So there we are

.

momof6lopez · #18 November 21st, 2009, 09:41 PM

Jess, hopefully the NTNP thing will work for you like it did Trish. If so, Im officially going NTNP too!

*MomofO&Nat* · #19 November 22nd, 2009, 04:31 AM

Go Lori, GO!!

momof6lopez · #20 November 22nd, 2009, 06:27 AM

Hey guys, Im officially 3dpo, but freaking out. My temps have been WAY lower than I ever had. I dont know if its because of the trigger shot or if maybe I did spit out a bad egg. Im assuming cause they are much lower than usual that my progesterone has to be low.

I have supplements here in house, but I dont really want to take them. I think I will go to the b/w appt. on Wed and see what my levels are doing naturally. If they are low, maybe I start them then until the end of this cycle or a bfp, which ever comes first.

What would you guys do? Im kinda like the RE I guess, and want to see if my levels are indicitive of a good or bad egg.
