Are you charting? Yes
Are you considering fertility drugs? I'm on Prometrium right now (a progesterone supplement).
Are you having any pregnancy symptoms? No
Are you taking a prenatal vitamin? Yes
Are you taking prenatal vitamins? Yes
Can you have symptoms before a missed period? Yes
Did you think it would be this hard to TTC after 30? No
Do plan to have a doctor or midwife? Doctor
Do you believe in Implantation bleeding and why or why not? Yes because I've had it.
Do you believe in the implantation dip and why or why not? No. I've researched this. As far as I understand it, you can have a dip in progesterone in the middle of your LP, which can happen around the time of implantation. Some interpret that to be implantation, but I think it's just a coincidence, if it happens at the same time.
Do you check CP and CM or use OPKs? I check CM and use OPKs
Do you check your cervix? Do you know how to? No
Do you ever get insomnia from waiting to test? No, I've never had a long enough LP to get to start testing.
Do you ever get jealous of your pregnant friends? All the time
Do you ever not feel like having sex when you are not ovulating? Of course.

[Celry]

Are you charting? Yes and it's been very educational not stressful for me. My chart is out of wack this cycle
Are you considering fertility drugs? My doctor wants me to go in for bloodwork this cycle since we've been ttc for almost a year and I'm 30, healthy and not overweight. We'll decide the next step based on those results.
Are you having any pregnancy symptoms? Sore breasts, but I'm pretty sure that's from doing a few new workout things
Are you taking a prenatal vitamin? yes
Can you have symptoms before a missed period? yes
Did you think it would be this hard to TTC after 30? I just turned 30 2 months ago. I didn't think it would take us this long.
Do plan to have a doctor or midwife? probably my doctor, but I haven't thought about it. I'm concentrating on getting prego first
Do you believe in Implantation bleeding and why or why not? I'm sure it happens for some people
Do you believe in the implantation dip and why or why not? I haven't studied charts and haven't been pregnant, so wouldn't know.
Do you check CP and CM or use OPKs? I use CP and CM not OPKs as OPKs look for certain hormone levels and not all women's hormones get that high. Plus I'd rather use my money for other things and my charts and CM show me what I need to know.
Do you check your cervix? Do you know how to? yes
Do you ever get insomnia from waiting to test? No...I practice the Don't Test policy. Unless AF is late I won't test. She's usually right on time after O'ing, but she comes too early. I'm trying Vitamin B6 this cycle to see if it will help.
Do you ever get jealous of your pregnant friends? I've never been jealous, but I was sad when my sister got pregnant again. I was super excited for her, but she and her DH tried one month after she stopped breastfeeding and then got a BFP.
Do you ever not feel like having sex when you are not ovulating? Not really, but there have been a few months when we've been super tired and would rather sleep but know I'm O'ing so we DTD

Do you believe in Implantation bleeding and why or why not? i really think that it happens for some people because of the things i have read/heard
Do you believe in the implantation dip and why or why not? same as above

Do you check your cervix? Do you know how to? yes i do
Do you ever get insomnia from waiting to test? oh yeah!
Do you ever get jealous of your pregnant friends? i'm happy for them, but sad at the same time and jealous .. but, a lot of my friends aren't as well off as my DF and I (they don't have a good relationship, no money, things like that ..) , so it's not that i'm jealous, just that i don't understand why it can happen for them and not us.
Do you ever not feel like having sex when you are not ovulating? i haven't ovulated yet, so i don't have this problem.

Are you having any pregnancy symptoms? nope, only 1 or 2 DPO
Are you taking prenatal vitamins?Right now just folic acid

[nelson40]

[branbran345]

Are you charting? Yes
Are you considering fertility drugs? I have thought about it. DH is changing jobs this month and our new insurance will kick in April 1. I am going to make an appointment to see my OB/GYN after that to talk to them about it.
Are you having any pregnancy symptoms? I was. CY 7 started yesterday.
Are you taking a prenatal vitamin? No. I am thinking about it though. I do take folic acid and a multi-vitamin.
Can you have symptoms before a missed period? Yes
Did you think it would be this hard to TTC after 30? I am not 30 yet. I will be 28 in June. I thought ttc would be a piece of cake. We had a surprise pregnancy when we were 22 and I took it for granted that we would easily get pregnant a second time.
Do plan to have a doctor or midwife? OB/GYN
Do you believe in Implantation bleeding and why or why not? Yes. People have experienced it.
Do you believe in the implantation dip and why or why not? Yes. People have experienced it.
Do you check CP and CM or use OPKs? Yes
Do you check your cervix? Do you know how to? Yes and yes.
Do you ever get insomnia from waiting to test? Yes.
Do you ever get jealous of your pregnant friends? Oh yeah. Four people have announced their pregnancies since we started ttc. I also found out that a girl I went to high school with had natural quadruplets. No fertility drugs or anything. I was so jealous.
Do you ever not feel like having sex when you are not ovulating? Yes. I have to force myself to do it. It sucks and I know I need to work on it, but I get so frustrated that it makes sex a chore and I don't enjoy it.
