[phantomfaery1]

Thankyou FTale x how are you doing?

 

[FTale]

I'm waiting to confirm ovulation after a failed IUI last cycle. I was so surprised to see your bfp! I didn't realize you were so far along.

Congrats!! Sending tons of sticky vibes your way.

Thank you guys!!! Really trying to calm down a bit incase of chemical again, do you think line is ok for 10dpo? X

That is a good solid line Phantom! That’s the darkest my line ever got with my son actually, but I got a positive digi, and I now have a healthy crazy 23 month old!

Hello, everyone! Hoping to join you all. I don’t have a testing date in mind, but I’m sure I’ll be testing a few times in April.

I just had my IUD removed TODAY and we are TTC #2 right away. With my first, I hadn’t been on BC for nearly a year & knew my cycles well, and we got pregnant during our first cycle trying. Since my Mirena IUD altered my cycles, I’m not really sure what to expect this go around. Also, I had a lot of random spotting this past month, so I’m not even sure what to call my last period, if it even matters.

I will be doing OPK’s and possibly tempting. I have a thermometer, but i have trouble remembering to take my temp when I wake up.

Hi ladies! Please add me to April 14th. I will likely have a trigger shot this weekend with timed intercourse.

Try, you might consider starting up with Fertility Friend. You can even tell it to ignore your birth control pill cycles -- their staff had me remove my old IUD cycles from consideration in the tracker so that the estimates would be more accurate. Are you doing anything else to track your ovulation besides estimates based on cycle length, like OPKs or temping?

And while I'm at it, same for Jessi. Are you tracking ovulation in any way, or just basing it on cycle length?

I'm just basing it on cycle length and previous cycles. I usually feel the cramping around ovulation time too! I don't wanna get too stressed out about it at the moment but it I haven't conceived in the next day 6 months I'll start tracking it better!

Omg omg omg

I see it!

Basing it on cycle length isn't really accurate, and ovulation pains can occur before, during, or after ovulation (it varies by person and doesn't even occur for everyone) so I'd definitely recommend doing some fertility sign tracking in the future if this cycle isn't the one!

Oh I know myself it's not a good indicator but my OH doesn't want to actively try just yet it's more of a 'if it happens it happens.' It was his idea for me to stop the BCP in November. If he saw my taking opks or temping I can see him panicking lol but yes it's definitely in the future plans if needs be!

Men never quite understand, do they? DH told me he'd rather NTNP instead of actively try, and I was like ... honey, I'm no spring chicken anymore and the clock is ticking. We don't have years to wait to just let it happen!

Besides, I'm just too obsessive to leave it to chance!

 

[Lady_Alysanne]

Omg omg omg

That is so awesome, been stalking you for a while now. Congratulations

Not at all! They think when we want to get pregnant it'll happen straight away! They don't realise how long it can take!

 

[Dill]

Really! DH genuinely seems to think that most people really do conceive within a month or two of trying. I've had to explain that nobody really openly talks about TTC difficulties, you just hear about the oops pregnancies and see pregnancy announcements. And of course it takes longer by the time someone's our age! He listens and nods his head, but I can tell he doesn't really believe me. And of course, he doesn't sign up for these sorts of forums or anything!
