CD1 7/15 who's with me?

[cherrylips100]

So af got me this morning at CD32. Not too sad as this was our second cycle of ttc and I like the sound of an april or may baby Thought it would be nice to compare notes and hopefully get my bfp with some of you other ladies, who's in the same boat?

Im CD5, so just a couple days ahead! First month of TTC #2. Ive had a mc before my DS (DS is now 1) and i had a missed MC on may 22nd (i was 11 weeks, but it stopped growing at 6 weeks, and my body never recognized the loss), but i knew something was wrong so it was not a HUGE shock that things were not progressing. It's ok! Just keep trying!
My Plan this month:
I usually have a 30-32 day cycle and ovulate between CD 16-20. I plan on baby dancing everyday from CD 12 - 22. Yes, 10 straight days of DTD! I have warned my husband. But these days also fall on our vacation with my ENTIRE FAMILY IN ONE HOUSE. should be interesting, but where there is a will, there is a way. I also have opk's i will start using around CD12.

What about yourself? Is this your first? What is your plan to catch the egg this month?

 

[cherrylips100]

Sorry about mc's, you are definitly due some luck. How does your oh feel about your planned bd marathon !? I also o on day 17 of a 30-32 cycle and also ttc pregnancy #2, baby #3. I'm just gonna use opk's again, this temping and charting stuff seems far too complicated to me.

 

[cscbeth8421]

you have twins!? Oh my goodness! Do you think it will happen again?! that is so cool!

Sounds like our cycles are very much a like! Fingers crossed! my husband is just fine with my marathon plans. He happily obliges!

I use fertility friend to track my cycles, but i don't temp (i did before #1 and that is how i found out when i ovulate), but i believe it's about the same now, and will just confirm with opks. When do you start using the opks? What cd?

Hello ladies,

As of today I am CD 4. Last cycle was only 27 days which is the shortest I've had since I've actually started charting. My average cycles are 28 with my longest 29.

My fiancé and I have tried 2 cycles and this will be the 3rd. 3rd times the charm! (I'm hoping) I haven't been temping nor have I used opk's but I am tossing around the idea this cycle. I really have no clue when I ovulate as I don't have any symptoms I can think of...(ovulation cramp, hormonal). I have just been winging it usually trying to DTD around CD 11 to CD14. However now I've been researching shorter cycles and ladies are telling me they ovulate closer or on CD 10 so maybe we are missing the egg. So our strategy this cycle is is to start DTD CD 8.

Oh and my fiancé gave me some lovely insight and mentioned maybe he should stop *ehem* DTD himself while I'm away.......*facepalm* So he's going to quit that out! Men I tell ya!

 

[cherrylips100]

I started using opk's on cd14, I only use cheapies but I got pg the 1st time used them the last time around. Our cycles do seem similar, don't they? Hope we both get our bfp in aug I have identical twins (the random type) so not counting on an extra bean this time but who knows?!

This will cycle #3 for me too Summer. I read on one of the baby websites that 59% of people get pg within 3 months so I'm gonna go with that haha at least he is doing his bit (or rather not doing it lol) to help.

 

[TTCsince626]

I'm CD 8! With 100 mg clomid

 

[cscbeth8421]

CD 6. Headed out of town this evening after work. Then to a beer festival in Northern Vermont on Lake Champlain with my brothers and sister in law tomorrow afternoon. Our 1 year old son is staying overnight with my parents. CAN.NOT.WAIT.


Yes Summermother....tell your husband to include you in all of his ...ahem...needs. lol

What are all you ladies up to this weekend?

 

[SummerMother]

Well this weekend is my hair trial for my wedding that is taking place AUG 1! I also have a whole bunch of wine bottles I have to paint for the wedding.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Beer festival was a blast! What do you guys think about first morning urine opks? I know some people say not to use fmu, but as soon as im up i have 3 cups of coffee and drink about 15 glasses of water (seriously 15 glasses) a day so allll day my urine is aupr dilute. The first morning is the only semi concentrated one i have all day.

 

[cherrylips100]

I always use fmu, I didn't know it wasn't recommended for opks. I wouldn't have thought it makes a massive difference?
Hope the beer festival was fun. I wish opk time would hurry up, I don't like this waiting around time lol.

 

[cscbeth8421]

Yeah i think FMU is my only bet. I mean we will DTD for a 10 day marathon starting on Wednesday so i probably wont even need to opk. I took one this morning and it wasn't even close, currently CD10. Vacation starts saturday! woo hoo! Super slow week at work. Gotta keep myself busy.

 

[cherrylips100]

True but it would maybe give you an indication of due date if you were to get pregnant this month. (I am obsessed with working out hypothetical due date every month hehe)

 

[cscbeth8421]

CD 12 today. Which starts our DTD 10 day marathon! Gonna have to get creative with this. lol

FMU OPK still negative, thought yesterday and today had EWCM, so that is promising! Moving in the right direction. Started temping this morning as well, though while on vacation, not sure ill be able to keep that up. We shall see!

<br /> My Ovulation Chart</a>

 

[cherrylips100]

How's your trip going?
I'm cd12 right now so will properly start dtd tomorrow and onwards. I had a 6 day period this month though so not sure if O day will be later than usual?

 

[SummerMother]

Hi ladies,

Sorry I have been missing from the thread lately. Been busy busy with wedding plans and on top of that TTC.

I ended up forgetting to buy OPKs so this is another cycle we are just trying to predict ovulation. Last cycle was only 27 days so in thinking I ovulated earlier than normal. So to cover our based my fiancé and I DTD stating cd 8 for every second day. I'm hoping we hit it.

How is everyone's cycles going?

 

[cherrylips100]

You might be more relaxed without opks Summer so could be a good month for you

 

[cherrylips100]

Positive opk today on cd14. Usually its around day 17 and I had a longer af than usual so not sure what's going on with my body but hey, glad I tested.

Anyone else O'ing now?

 

[SummerMother]

I believe I od CD14. Tmi but I had EWCM starting Cd13 and again CD14 as well as slightly less cd15. So there is 3 day period of possibility.

On another note I was getting period like soreness CD15 and CD16. I've never really had it before but im thinking we were just a lil rough with DTD...

 

[cherrylips100]

That sounds promising. When do you think you'll test? I'm going to try and be good this time and wait until 14dpo'
