Can I come play over here? My wife and I are TTC #1. I did my first IUI last month but AF came on Saturday so here we are moving onto month 2. I'm CD 4 and will start OPKs again next week. There is so much waiting during this process, arg!
It's my 2nd cycle TTC. I just found out that my cousin's wedding is going to be at the end of September, we are really close and I don't want to miss it so I decided to not try too much this cycle because if I did get pregnant I would be too far along to travel to the wedding. We did the deed on CD14 (before I found out her wedding date), so there is still a chance this cycle but I would be really ok if it didn't happen this month.
This is super petulant but I either want a 2015 baby or a spring baby but there is no way I'll skip valuable cycles.
This is how I feel. We aren't trying for a fall 2015 baby for various reasons. But I also dread the idea of a January- April 2016 baby. Our winter lasts until late April. I also don't want to burn all of my PTO and have no time for summer time off. But a May/ June 2016 baby means joining the red shirting debate.
We were avoiding this month due to my last loss last month. It's CD 28 or so, (I'm not completely keeping track this month) so hopefully AF comes on time, and we can start trying again!

This is me, too. For some reason I reallly don't want a January baby. With how my cycles are, baby would be due early in each month, so early January. But with three losses since the summer, I am in no position to try and choose a birth month, lol.

This, totally. I wanted a summer baby this time, but since it's 17 months since we started TTC #2, we'll take whatever we can get. Hopefully it's October!

I'm overthinking it.
This is astounding to me. FWIW, I didn't mind my winter maternity leave. As long as you get a little spring it's nice. B/c otherwise you're generally stuck inside with a newborn on a nice day.

I've never heard of Vitex...off to google! We have beenTTC for 13 cycles now and I'm getting discouraged. I got PG on cycle 2 with DS. I was hoping to have kids 3.5 years apart, but it will be more like 4.5 years if I get PG soon.

I'm right here with you. DS only took 2 cycles. I'm on 17 cycles now and like "wtf body?" The RE doesn't see anything wrong. I'm only 31. DS will be at least 4.5 when we have a second now. So much for my obsessive trying to figure out "perfect" timing.
My spotting has returned, with cramping. On one hand, I'd be glad if it's my period, because, normalcy finally! But I would really prefer to be knocked up lol.

No kidding about the timing thing! I haven't been to an RE because I'm scared to go and my insurance doesn't cover it, but I need to get with it...I'm turning 35 soon.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

I'm with both of you ladies, sadly.
I conceived on the first cycle with both my first pregnancy (m/c) and DD. Now it's been about 17 cycles. I haven't seen an RE either. I am 30, healthier than I've been in years, and it's not working. I guess maybe I'm scared of what could be wrong?
I'm also scared of what could be wrong. Logically, I know that I'm better off knowing, because if something is wrong then I can begin to address it. But I am finding it very difficult to take that step. Heck, I'm even putting off my annual pap because we talked last year about how I was TTC.
