My frustrations with TTC

Christine-MA · #1 April 3rd, 2009, 06:54 AM

I know that most people hate the 2ww, but I HATE waiting to O! I always worry my BD timing isn't going to be good. I just wish I could O around the same time each month.

My O days have gone:
18, 18, 17, preg/mc, 24, 21, 19, preg/mc, 25, 16, 14

So I was hoping that this cycle would continue to be around CD14 like last month! I usually get a + OPK the day before O. Today is CD14 and my OPK this morning was still - .

We can't BD everynight, if we could that would make things sooo much easier, but it just won't happen. So my plan is to BD every other day (which we have so far), then the day of the +OPK, and the day after (which should be O day). I'm a little worried that will mean 3 days in a row depending when the +OPK is, but hopefully it's not an issue!

So hopefully the +OPK and EWCM are coming in the next day or two! I did have that horrible neck/back pain Sat-Tue and was taking muscle relaxers and vicodin, so that definetely could be delaying it, I just hope not too long! And I know me stressing about it isn't helping anything lol

Okay, ask and you shall receive.....I'm pretty sure I have EWCM (TMI lol), so hopefully the +OPK is coming!

TGIF

I hear ya- I always stress about TTC way more in the waiting-to-O time than the 2ww. We're pretty close to cycle buddies this cycle. I finally started getting some wet CM today, so I'm hoping over the weekend or by Monday I will get my smilie face OPK. I'm doing the same as you this cycle- every other day until I get my smilie face- then we'll do it that day and the day after regardless. EEK!

I hear you Christine!! I ovulated on CD 28 this month, it took forever!! I hate that, I have ovulated as early as CD19 and as late as CD 58!!!! It sucks waiting to O especially when it changes every month!!

I can't imagine! I know I shouldn't complain because my cycles are fairly regular....my "late" O's aren't even that late, and are caused by miscarriages, but why does TTC have to be so difficult?

I wish there were an easy answer! I hope that the positive OPK comes ASAP!!! Here's some O dust for you and some hugs too (cause they're always good)...

:dot hug:

I am sorry you are so frusturated. If it makes you feel better... it is actually better to BD every other day than every day because it allows DH's sperm replenish more sperm.

So I think your chances are just as good if not better! GL!

Lots of O dust to you!!!!! I hope it comes soon. I know the BDing multiple days in a row can be tiring to do.

heavy sigh, i feel your pain. i'm coming post m/c here and i'm hoping my O won't be delayed!!! i LOVE the 2ww, it's the best time of the month!!! G/L and keep BDing!

UGH! I am totally with you about waiting to O! It totally sucks! YAY for EWCM though! That's awesome. Now, I do want you ladies to be in the Dec DDC, but I will be so sad because I have already missed my chance! BOOO!!

Well if I don't O in the next couple days, it pushes me to Jan. Maybe I'll have my dd on your bday!

Plus if you got into January, even if I was due Dec 29th, I'd join Jan

YAYAY!! Christine! I think you need to have an EDD of my B-Day!!

SavaAngel · #12 April 3rd, 2009, 11:02 AM

I hope you get the positive OPK soon. I don't worry until after my clomid about when I will O. I O anywhere between 13-17 usually. And after trying this long with not even a hint of a faint line on any test I have taken I am at the point that I highly doubt even if I do O (which I always do when we use the clomid) that we will get pregnant this cycle. I am just hoping for a February baby at this point (ha - 5 days in and I have already given up on the January one).

I hear ya on the waiting to O--it's the worst part of the whole cycle! I don't O until about CD30 but it's different every cycle. Ugh, I just wish it would come sooner and be more consistent!

KDD · #14 April 3rd, 2009, 03:10 PM

I know what you mean. It seems to take forever to get a +OPK. I finally got one last night and then a peak reading on my monitor this morning. Life would be so much easier if we knew concretely that we always O'ed on CD 14!

Maybe the 3 of us will O today and all get to be in the same DDC! - of course if Ash misses Dec, we can all move to Jan.
