TTCers?

[TrudyCampbell]

@sprinkles? Faevantastic? ladybug?

How's it going?

[Faevantastic]

I'm at 6 dpo and temp is staying high. Woohoo. I'll probably test next week when I get home from our Canada weekend trip.

[Deleted]

I'm cd10 and sexing it up! We did Sunday, last night and then my goal is Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Can I do it?! I don't know! I might skip Thursday.

I bought ovulation strips and have been using them this week but I'm kind of confused by them... Anyone who has used them want to tell me what you did?

I am using them in the morning but I've seen people use them twice a day when close to O date but how do I know when to start that?!

Thanks for checking in on us TrudyCampbell

Yay! Good luck!

[TrudyCampbell]

I for some reason feel very strongly that @sprinkles will get pregnant this cycle and it will be a girl.

[fusion]

I'm cd12 and felt my ovaries twinging today. Will still sex it up through the weekend. Hoping for a May baby!

[carawestt]

I think you'll get pregnant this cycle ladybug! Fingers crossed for you.

[Deleted]

I'm CD14 and not sure if I've ovulated yet. Usually I dont until 16 or 17. But we've been EOD sexing it up anyway. Today is a day off since we did last night, lol. We will tomorrow, maybe Friday, otherwise Saturday and/or Sunday.

I went to my regular doctor this week. And she thinks I need to go to a fertility specialist. ? She thinks it isn't normal for me to only be 24 and keep having miscarriages, and otherwise no other issues. Idk. She wanted me to call my OB and talk to her and get a referral. But I might just wait until after this cycle...

Oh man, I hope!!!! I am so sad about not being pregnant yet, that I'll be happy with a baby no matter the sex! Although.... shh... we've really wanted two boys. lol

How many have you had? Have any of them been chemical pregnancies? Because I'm not sure those "count" towards a miscarriage number. I think 3 in a row is when it's a concern. 24 is very young to be having problems, but I'm sure you're not the first.

I don't exactly know what I'm talking about but you have progesterone issues right? Do you maybe need those shots? Clearly I don't know what I'm talking about but I've heard that help with miscarriages and progesterone?

Either way, good luck! I hope you get KU this cycle and don't need to worry about any of this!

I've had 3, and yeah 2 have been chemical. I said that to her, and she said it still didnt matter. Technically 'something' is not working, or else those would have turned into sticky babies... kwim? Plus, its been all within less than 3 years which she also thought maybe meant something since its been so recent. Anyway, she also said I needed to talk to my actual OB about it, but she apparently thought it was cause for concern. So idk.

Girl, you're preachin' to the choir.

I'm on CD14 and had +OPKs yesterday and today. We managed EOD sex (I'm jumping him the minute he gets home). I think I O'd today which would give me O-4 O-2 and O. Hoping for a May baby!

Thanks for checking in on us TrudyCampbell

Is your cycle pretty regular?  For example, if you usually have a 28 day cycle then you could guesstimate that you O around CD 14.  You can then start testing twice a day close to then.  


For me, not regular at all...  My cycles are long.  I buy the big pack and start testing at CD14 in the afternoon when I get home from work.  When I got my positive OPK (CD 52!), I tested twice a day for a couple days.  It was pos in the afternoon, night, next morning and then neg after.  So H and I did it every night for four nights since I got the pos.  hopefully that covered it.

Good luck!

Okay good to know! Thanks. They seem to be pretty regular but short which worries me but I'll hopefully get a better Idea of my luteal (is that what it's called?) phase length using the OPKs.

[jfh]

ladybug from what I understand, it's good to start on the OPKs earlier than you would think, because you really want to be getting it on before you get the positive. I started double-dipping the OPKs at CD 8 and started hitting it hard as soon as I saw the faintest line. So by the time I got the + the little guys were already on their way.

[Deleted]

So, since I'm on CD14, and dont ovulate *usually* until 17ish, when should I pee on my one ovulation test? lol. I only have 1... I never really used them but bought a pack while TTC before Cam. And I really just want to pee on things, but thinking I should do it when it SHOULD give me a positive. So... if you made sense of any of that... should I pee on it around Saturday (CD 17)?

[christidee]

We are on the fence now that I didn't get ktfu last cycle. My next cycle would yield an early June baby. I don't know what to do. I didn't think it would take more than three cycles. We were lucky and conceived Jake on our first try.

I just can't imagine teaching with a 2 month old. Pumping and grading and lesson planning and motn feedings would be awful. I mean, I could probably take unpaid FMLA for 2 more months, but it would be tight.

Cd3 over here. We need to make a decision.

[Deleted]

Sorry to be a downer but I keep having a feeling it's going to be two more cycles for @sprinkles . No idea why, but I thought this last month/cycle for her.

[formerlyllizzyb]

I'm sorry @sprinkles. I didn't know you'd had losses. I hope you can get in with an RE soon. Even if there's nothing wrong, it will be nice to get a work up to know.

Okay well I started cd8 but I've been getting faint lines every time- I know they aren't positive but do they mean anything? Oddly enough, the very first stick is the darkest..

fadedscars, BOO ON YOU!!!! lol. Its ok... Its hard for me to get my hopes up anymore anyway. This TTC thing just sucks for me. Its a good thing I pretty much agree'd to just 2 kids (I initially wanted 3).. I dont think I can handle this ANOTHER time!

formerlyllizzyb, yeah... thats what I'm thinking, and what my doctor said. She said worst case (or best case?), they'll just tell you you dont need to be seen by an RE, but its best to go get checked out in case. I mean, I've been pregnant approximately 4 times in like, what.. 2.5 years.... so somethings gotta be weird, right? But since I'm almost halfway through this cycle, I will wait until after. And then if I do get preg this cycle I wont need to go... if it sticks, that is! THATS the hard part!  *-)

Lol sorry!!
