So we have officially waited the 2 cycles my acupuncturist asked us to. But he asked for 2-3 cycles to let my body repair. One of those cycles we were NTNP but since we didn't get pg he is counting that as cycle 1. So now the question is do we wait one more cycle or do we go back to NTNP this cycle.

Here are the "facts":
My recent AF was as close to normal as they have been in the year we have been TTC..
It's not THAT likely that we will get pg in our first cycle of NTNP so we could end up with a 3rd cycle "off" anyway.
Waiting is HARD.
BUT...
I have an appointment with an OB/GYN on Feb 8 (will be CD27) that I have been waiting 4 months for.
If we do NTNP this cycle and get pg - my due date would be really close to ONE year after my first one. Talk about coming full circle with all of this.
I had a 3 day headache (probably migraine) when AF was here that is definitely different for me which probably means something is not quite balanced yet.

I talked to DH and he does not want to make the decision until we have to (I told him we have until CD9 to decide). And I am going to talk to my acupuncurist on Tuesday (CD8) and see what he has to say. What would you ladies do if you were me?

Given your history I would probably wait until after you see the specialist to start to TTC again. I know that waiting is hard, but I would hate to see you go through another loss. I'm hopeful that Dr. Tankel will be able to diagnose the problem and will be able to fix it.

Whatever you decide we will all be super supportive.

I'm with Kim, waiting must be THE hardest thing to do! And you are seeing Chris on CD 8 and he sounds so great that I'm sure he will have some insight for you. And, like Kim said, I'd hate to see you get pg because you seem to have no issues with that, then not have it stick and have to wait all over again with another loss to deal with...

Either way, you know we're all here for support! Let us know what you decide

I also agree with the others... waiting is SO hard, and really it's just a decision that you and your DH will have to make. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably end up NTNP again, just because I have a hard time not trying. Good luck with whatever you decide!

I would wait... give your body all the time it needs... to get ready for a sticky BFP!!

Thanks Ladies. I know I should wait and I actually told myself (and Chris - acupuncturist) that I would wait 2-3 cycles from the time I started seeing him. In my head I told myself I would not try until after the OB appointment... so I am sure I will wait. I just needed some reassurance that I am waiting for a good reason.

Jackie - no NTNP here. If we are waiting we have to prevent (or not BD). NTNP is all we have done in the past 12 months and has resulted in 4 losses.

[~*Jackie*~]

Understood. I hope time flies for you, and I can't wait til you get that sticky bfp!!

[Tammyms]

Less than a month until you see Dr. Tankel!!!

[mlyster]

Yup Tammy - its getting close... but the days are just dragging on and on. It feels like so long ago that I finally got to say a month to my appointment and it is STILL 3 weeks away!

Just thought I would update this. We have not decided to wait but we are not actively trying either. What that means is I am not worried about when we have sex but if it happens to coincide with O so be it. The acupuncture I have been doing shifted my last cycle by 3 days (no warning signs of O either) so I don't really know when I will O. My most likely O time will be this weekend when we will be away (at my sisters - no sex likely) so chances are pretty slim that we will get pg this cycle anyway. But I would rather not worry about not being able to have sex when I want to.
