TTC check in!

[laurack]

Haven't done one in a few weeks! Though I know about twenty people recently became pregnant I know we still have some out there whose uterus remains empty!

How long have been trying: this is first month of unprotected sex/had a period/can measure cycle

Where are you in your cycle now: CD14 

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: Ovulation tests, have taken one every day for maybe 5 days now, nothing but faint lines.

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: No

Any random TTC stuff: we've had sex three times so far this cycle plan to do every other day for the next week I suppose.

Trying not to get my hopes up/be disappointed if it doesn't happen as its our first month actually trying. All the BFPs have made me excited for my own and of course my what seemed like months of am I pregnant/am I ovulating/wtf is going on with my body drama. ha

Tell me about your TTC ladies! Soon the two week wait will be upon me and the mental madness will begin.

How long have been trying: Since April 2013
Where are you in your cycle now: CD24, 10dp+OPK
Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: Ovulation tests- had 2 + in a row
Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: Yes, took 18 cycles to get pregnant with Emmy, 5 of which were on Clomid. I started at 50 mg for 3 cycles and then went to 100 mg for 2 cycles. I have PCOS.
Any random TTC stuff: I hate TTC! We are hoping for 1 more baby and I can't wait to get KU so I never have to go through this stress again!

Yay! I finally get to participate in a TTC check in! Woo!

How long have been trying: waiting for AF to end then this will be our first month trying

Where are you in your cycle now: cd5 (wait cd1 is the day you start right? I can't remember)

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: with D I started temping but got KU the first month. I'm not temping this time because I don't get enough sleep. I'm not going to use OPKs unless it takes a few months. I've been pretty regular and do have ovulation signs so I think I'm okay for now.

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: no

Any random TTC stuff: We're leaving for vacation to Yosemite on Friday- we purposefully planed to start TTC on this trip because it would be extra meaningful if we did get KU there. DH proposed there in 2006 and we got our bfp there in 2011. Also my birthday is on Monday so birthday sex may make a baby! Haha it just works out perfect that I'll be ovulating while we're there!

I'm going to try to wait until August 24 to test because that is our 10 year dating anniversary and it would be so cool to get a bfp on that day! (But it's not such a big deal to get a bfn then) buuuut if I ovulate on a normal schedule that would be 16dpo- I don't think I can wait that long!!!!

How long have been trying: this is cycle 2, but last cycle was kind of half-assed, so first month of seriously trying.

Where are you in your cycle now: CD2

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: I started temping this morning. My new bedside lamp provides a convenient place to keep the thermometer. lol




Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: No

Any random TTC stuff: Starting next Tuesday or Wednesday (depending on CM status), we will try to have sex everyday until I ovulate.  That is MY plan anyway.

Haha that picture is hilarious!

I want to know if there are still any ttc-ers whose cycles line up with mine? I feel like everybody else got KU last month.

You and I are pretty close! I noticed it last month because we were a little risky with no condom but it was too far before ovulation. I'm on cd5 but started 2 days before I thought I would.

ETA: I guess you mean that were actually trying last month so I don't count

I know I don't belong in this thread, but I'm so damn invested in all of your uteri.

Best of luck, ladies!

jamaicam and I will be 2ww buddies it seems!

I tried the last two months, but am taking a one month break this month. We are going on a week beach vacation in September and I want to enjoy it Be back in the game next month! Hope it only takes 1-2 cycles then or I will be encroaching on summer pregnancy hell.

Yay! Now let's hope you don't rub off on me - I am usually very good at not peeing on all things unless my peroid is at least a day late, but with you around

A day late?! what madness this!

How long have been trying: We sorta tried last month, but my cycles are still funky. This is the first full month.

Where are you in your cycle now: Someone please help me with the lingo! AF showed up on 7/25...so...?

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: I'm reading TCOYF right now and have been tracking CM, but not temperature since I don't think I get enough sleep. I suppose I should try temping.

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: No

Any random TTC stuff: I'm also just slightly jealous of all the BFPs around here lately. I want mine too!

CD6.

Thank you! So we're not far off either (especially since I at least used to have long cycles).

Ack, can't believe I'm posting in here.

How long have been trying: this will be the first month

Where are you in your cycle now: CD9

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: temp and chart

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: No, knock on wood

Any random TTC stuff: this is embarrassing, but of course I thought of you guys. I had to pee really bad early this morning but I didn't want to get out of bed and mess up my temp. Yet I remember having a weird feeling. Yeah, I peed myself a little. Not enough to get on the sheets, thank God.

I'm also a little nervous bc my cycles are still messed up and I'm not sure if I'm actually ovulating.

Good luck ladies!! (kiss) Have a drink in the meantime- it makes for better sex!  :drink: :beer:

[kkfeb04]

Good luck ladies.

My uterus is staying unoccupied.

[skiesthelimit]

How long have been trying? First cycle

Where are you in your cycle now: CD16

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation tests: I was doing the First Response daily digital OPKs, charting on FF and temping

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: No

Any random TTC stuff: I got a + OPK on CD12 and a temp spike on CD 15 so i was certain I O'd on CD 14. But this morning my temp dropped again so now I'm doubting it. We are camping right now and sleeping in a tent so maybe that is messing with my temps. We did have sex on CD 13 (so what I thought was O-1 so we will see!). Also that was the first time we did it since Oct!!

How long have been trying: this is our third official cycle, although I've only actively prevented one cycle since I resumed my period in Feb

Where are you in your cycle now: CD 19, not sure exactly when's ovulate as I'm not temping or OPKing

Do you temp/chart/take ovulation? If I am not KU I will do OPK next month. Sleep is too unpredictable to temp 

Do you have any fertility issues/have had trouble TTC in the past: Yes. Endometriosis, low morphology for DH

Any random TTC stuff: I'm already sick of TTC. Blah. I pray it doesn't take 15 cycles and an RE this time, or even more interventions.

Amen to your last statement. We want 2 or 3. I'm ready to get this show on the road and close up shop!
