I've also been a dirty lurker for about three months now... I should probably start posting here since I seem to be a one-trick pony regarding posting about TTC lately.
Hi, I'm IdahoLakeLady. I'm a regular on MMM and MM, and occasionally post on P&CE and ML. I'm 32, TTC #2, Cycle 2. My H is 37 and we have a 2.5 year old DD who is amazing.
I'm with starryfish. I want someone to tell me wtf is going on with my body
Ordinarily, I would O 19/20. Last month is was 17. I had my hysteroscopy CD17, but I can't imagine it would push O back THIS FAR. My cycles are typically 28 - 33 days. I have a feeling that, if it happened, it was CD17 and we missed it because we had to TTA until after my procedure, so there was no BD until CD18.
As for normal stuff this week, umm... Nothing. Just work We have our last wedding of the season this weekend.
Hey ladies! I got back from vacation on Friday so I'm playing catch up with just about everything today. I was a procrastinator and have a ton of work to do for my summer grad class. I'm on cd 13 and am waiting on O. This is our first cycle that we were allowed to try after my d&c and I'm trying not to get too excited about it.
Hi! I'm in the same boat of trying to figure out when or if I ovulate. I'm going to be a little more precise this cycle (TTC #1 cycle 2-ish? cycle 1 was last minute and not exactly trying, just not preventing).
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.
It has been dead here for a while. I too feel I don't have a lot new to contribute, and it also seems like we haven't had many BFP posts lately either. We need some good news over here.
I am 2 dpo and we had decent timing, but I'm tired of trying to be optimistic I am doing CD 21 testing on Friday and will make an appt. with an RE if this cycle results in a BFP. I found out I was pregnant a year ago this week, so that has been a bummer to hit this milestone with no success.
We did get a puppy a few weeks ago, so that has been a fun distraction! It's a lot of work but its nice to have something else to focus on.

I lurk because I can't post during the day, most of the time evenings/night is the slowest time around here!
I go for an ultrasound Wednesday to check linig & follicles. Also looking to see if there are any fibroids, lesions or cysts to explain the mid-cyle spotting I get. I've had mid cycle spotting since February and still spot while taking progesterone. This is our 2nd cycle on Clomid (50mg). I am over all things TTC. I don't get excited for anything anymore and am getting pretty lazy with tacking.
H and I have been doing a lot of camping this summer, so we've hardly been home on weekends. It's been so much fun but there are so many house projects we are neglecting!
I lurk a lot...Mostly because we are only 4-5 months in to ttc, so I don't always have much to contribute to some the topics. And other than my cycle getting regulated coming off the pill,I don't feel like we are having "issues".
I'm due for AF on Friday. That's our 5 year anniversary. I'm excited that it could be a great to get a bfp that day, but might suck if it's a bfn. I might test Wednesday or Thursday. I felt really good about timing last cycle and it didn't pan out. I'm feeling just eh about timing this month, but I've had some word stuff going on this week. (Not symptom spotting, but unusual things that it's hard not to wonder.)
belle55 what type of puppy? We have a 2 year old black lab and a 6 month old yellow lab.
I check for new threads here regularly, but really don't have time to post a ton due to moving to a new house and taking 6 hours of classes during my last semester of grad class. Three more weeks and I'll be done with my masters!
TTC wise, it's been a while. Started April 2013, this is second cycle using CBEFM. Had a high reading today and yesterday so peak should be soon.
I agree HoneySpider. TTC sucks so much and is such an emotional ride every month that I really would rather concentrate on other aspects of life so I don't post or make threads very often. We're 10 months in (technically 12 months) and every month gets harder and harder with nothing except AF every month like clockwork.
H and I are having our neighbors over for dinner tomorrow and I'm nervous. In the 4 months we've been neighbors we've clashed over their bass and that's been our primary form of communication. We're trying to start again without being pissed at each other. (We share walls because we're in townhouses.) It's hard not to be pissy when you get a pounding headache from their bass a few times a week... although they have been better since we had dinner last (2 weeks ago).
I come around a couple of times a week to see how things are. I know the whole TTC drill by now so I don't know what to post. It also seems better for me if I don't obsess with it after the loss.
I got new tests and might cave and take one with me tomorrow. Thrift Shop is in my head so:
I'm gonna pee some sticks Only got twenty tests in my purse I - I - I'm hopeful, looking for a positive This is fucking exhausting
My cycle was funky this month. After ovulating late last month, I ovulated early this month. I got my normal pms, are you sure that that is not a pregnancy symptom, late though. I have new symptoms like swollen feet.
We also decided to improve our backyard with a pergola. Imam looking forward to that project.

I agree, very dead in here, but I also don't have much to contribute. We have our IVF consults with two different REs next month, so I'm hoping that helps shed some light on the plan.
Background: I'm 32, DH is 36. Unexplained IF. Three oral IUI cycles, all failed.
We got him from a rescue that received him as a puppy mill surrender...the breeder said he is a purebred poodle but he is clearly mixed with something. My best guess is long-haired dachsund. Either way, we think he's pretty cute A little guy...won't be much more than 10 lbs.

I feel like I am so depressing when I talk about TTC now. So I will tell you about some other stuff going on in my life - We are building a new house and they just cleared the lot last week. It's crazy to walk around and see things changing already. The backyard is going to be smaller than I expected (technically, we have a huge backyard, but the cleared area is pretty small. We can always try to clear more later). We put our current house on the market a few weeks ago. We've had a steady stream of showings but no offers yet. I recently discovered Orange is the New Black and I've been catching up on that. I'm trying to talk my husband into going to Ireland this fall but he is not convinced. He suggested Disney instead (not so exciting because we live about an hour away).

I'll join you guys although I will probably end up more on TTTC. I xpost this there.
We are in month 5 or 6 of halfheartedly trying. Not sure I even o'd those months. This month we actually tried, I'm temping and using a CBEFM. I'm 1dpo.
For our DD I did 4 IUIs and got pg on the last one. H doesn't want to do IF treatments again so I am working with a naturopath at the moment. I am doing the bloodwork this month then have a review/consult at the beginning of August. I am dreading it as I suspect I have DOR/high FSH.
I have been really busy with my H being out of town, so I haven't really been posting anywhere. I do get to go see him next month, which I'm SO excited about, coincidentally it should be with in my fertile window, I'll be heading home I think the day that I usually ovulate. I'm trying to not focus on TTC on this vacation though and instead just focus on the trip and spending time with - H. It's so hard not to get hopeful and day dream though. I haven't been opk-ing since he's been gone because there hasn't been a reason, but we'll start when he gets home. Good luck ladies
I'm bad about posting period but I will try to get better! I'm slightly frustrated this cycle as I had big plans to temp but then went on vacation and unexpectedly got AF so didn't have my thermometer on my, got a nasty headache that lasted days when we got back and now it's CD16 so a little late to start. Boo!!
Otherwise life is going ok! It is coming up on a year since DH left his job and he hasn't found something else. We had no idea it would take this long but he is trying to get into a new industry. But it has resulted in some resentment on his part towards me and I hope we can work through that soon. Currently we are just ignoring it!
I'm sad I missed the puppy picture. I'm wondering what the not so poodle looks like!
