Cycle buddies for August 2014?

[mangoberry]

DH and I have been trying to conceive since 8 months now(started in Dec 2013)

every month when AF shows up its the most frustrating thing that can happen. I hear everyone stating that be relaxed and don't think about it. How can one not think about it ???

I would greatly appreciate any advice on that and looking for a group of girls who are trying and are in same boat with me.

Hey there. We're definitely in the same boat. I've been trying since January and I'm also 30. I tend to hang out here so feel free to join! Things have quieted down a bit since lots of ladies have moved on but there's some us left who are awesome and love new faces

I really don't think there's any way to not think about it. That's just silly when it's something you want so much! I try to distract myself sometimes with other things but I mostly just embrace the obsession.

I'm ready for August! I'm waiting to test on the 15th
This is our first month TTC our first

In the same boat - just going into cycle #10 now TTC#1

For what it's worth, I think it's impossible to not think about it. It's crazy when I think that we've been trying for so long, because I think about it 24/7 and I can't imagine what I've done with my life the last 10 months that didn't have me thinking about having a baby.

Where are you at in your current cycle?

I'm CD4 today - should ovulate CD13, going to do OPK's again this cycle (after giving up on temping).

Hi,
I'm 36 ttc#1, 1st clomid cycle 100mg. My follow up appt is tomorrow and I'm nervous but staying positive. I had some SE from clomid , headaches, hot flashes, tender breasts, cramps, bloating etc but nothing extreme . After I ovulated the cramping and pulling sensation really increased like AF is in her way. At my last follow-up appointment I was told I have three follicles; 2 on right & 1 on left side , 11, 14, & 18cm. But I'm not sure if that's good.

Praying that this my month and good luck to all✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hi there, I would love to join. What CD is everyone? I am CD1 today.

 

[mangoberry]

Hi all, Thanks for all of your replies! It feels good to know that I am not the only one who goes crazy thinking about it

I am on CD8 - would be CD9 on Sat Aug 9th. I tried using OPK's but that causes me much anxiety. Planning to use pre-seed this month as it has good reviews. I ovulate around CD14th.

All the best Buttercup

Hi. DH and I have been ttc since march 2014. This will be month 6 and I definitely get the frustration. The past two months we were out of town and I just tried the relax and not think of it strategy. Still nothing. I decided to join the forum and talk to others who can understand. I am 28 and DH is 29. Praying for peace and favor for us this month!

 

[Buttercup77]

Hi all,

I'm currently on cd 22, bw confirmed that I ovulated. My progesterone was a 12 and nurse says I didn't need the supplements but I really considered using them anyway - In my mind I'm thinking, what harm can it cause, but hubby shut me down on that

So now I'm determined not to test before cd 29.

Good luck to all! x

I know what you mean by that. My acu believes that 10 is really low even though docs usually say it is not. So 12 may be good, who knows. I would test everyday if I were you and not wait, if you are concerned about low progesterone. That way you can catch the pregnancy early.

Hey everyone! I'm on CD 2 and would like to join. Last month I did not chart or use opk just a lot of bd ing. This month I plan on temping and using opk. this is only our second month trying so I am curious if I am even O ing yet. I was on seasonique bcp where you only get your AF every three months and have heard stories about women who have come off and still had three month long cycles so I was worried. Actually I ended up having a short 26 day cycle so knowing that will also help.

Good luck to everyone!

I am cd 7 today. Normally 28-29 day cycles, but have some 34-35 ones jump in every few months.

 

[babylaw720]

I'm in the same boat. I'm 27 and dh is 34. We have been trying for 13 months now. I was diagnosed with PCOS in May, after af not showing her ugly face for 5 months. Now I am temping and using OPKs. It's hard after trying for this long, to not get discouraged and keep it fun, but we are doing our best, and having a support group like this is awesome. I am on cd44, patiently waiting for af or a bfp.

 

[Buttercup77]

Shandis, how are you?

Today I'm 16dpo, cd31. I tested cd11& 13 - both neg. no AF, going in tomorrow for bw.

Buttercup 77,

I am doing alright, I ended up in the hospital on Wednesday with OHSS from clomid so I have been feeling pretty crappy. I have alot of bloating which is related to my OHSS and today my boobs are super sore and I have cramping but I am only 6dpo so I doubt those are PG related. I did check my cervix last night and this morning and had a tinge of blood mixed in but again I think it's to early for implantation. I am trying to keep myself from testing because I know it is way to early to even think about getting a positive PG test. I have a follow up with my OB on Friday of the OHSS so they will probably test me then but I will only be 11 dpo so who knows what will happen. I hope you get an answer soon!
