Cycle Buddy Wanted *UPDATE* Cycle 2 CD Oct 20 (Cycle 1 Cd1 22 Sept)

[1stbaby]

You can start using them after af leaves, but it depends on when you think you will ov. I would use them about 3 to 4 days before you ov. If you dont know then use them a couple days after af leaves. Thats why I buy 20 pack because I dont know when I ov. Also I just read online that I may have LPD. This would suck, I really hope that my cycle regulates itself this month and I ov around CD14-16, otherwise I will have to go to the dr. Last month I ov CD 20 and then af arrived on CD 28. That means my LP was only 7 days long which is a problem. I didnt know this so I am going to go to the dr if it happens again this month. I guess it could have been caused by the surgery so I really hope this month everything is on track. Man, that would explain last month not concieving after bding every day, and that would explain the short LP. Good news is they have medication to fix this and then we can get on the right track.

OMG, Girls I have missed so much. I was out of town last week and and have been just trying to catch up. The should be done with me today and I can start BDing on Friday. I can't wait to OV. I really feel like this is our month....our time ladies, so let's do it. Like so many other ladies I try not to think about being pregnant or wanting a baby so it won't dry me crazy but I can't help it. I was watching TLC, Bringing Home Baby, yesterday while home with my DD (she was sick) and I had to stop looking at it because it made me want to hurry and be pregnant (and a little sad that I wasn't holding my own little one).

Jai- I love the name and have added to my Siggy.

Debs - I think it's wonderful that you know exactly when you will conceive. Good Luck with AI. I can't wait to see your

Bebe- you are 2 days ahead of me so let me know how it goes. Hopefully we will both have some success stories with that.

MsTwiggy - Glad you found the preseed. I have some too. OH doesn't like it too much so it takes some convincing.

Gabrielle - Sounds like starting on Friday is good. This way with the 7 pk of OPKs your are bound to catch it.

 

[HatterasSarah]

Hey yall!! Gosh so much has gone on since I came on last! I visit every now and then...but my fall break from school (when I was on 24-7) is over, so I'm back to being busy with school! I'm also reading the Twilight series right now, so Im completely engulfed in these books...anyone else read twilight? Are you in love with Edward also??

I hope that all of you get your BFPs this month! I really am thinking about y'all all the time!!

Gabby, have you made a decision about TTC this month?

Newly preggos, Im still sooooooooooo happy for y'all!!

 

[DebsHopeful]

Does anyone else feel that this week is dragging its feet.......hurry up Friday!

I am on CD8 and going for AI on Monday because gynea has predicted ov for Tuesday but he will confirm at my appointment on Friday.

DH and I will bd tonight, Friday and Saturday morning and then we aren't allowed to bd until after the AI on Monday morning, so will probably bd Monday night and Tuesday morning so we won't be able to tell if the is from AI or from not being stressed about falling preggas because we have it under control.

Gabrielle, I really think you should do temping and put it in FF so we can all help tell you when you are ovulating, it really is much more realiable then OPKs. I had a really good ovulation last month, so the blood tests said and I didn't get a single postive OPK.
PS: Nice picture

Nice to hear from you HatterasSarah, glad you are enjoying school.

Jai_Jai, how is the spare room looking. I used to just love Ikea.

Hi Nlytin, nice to have you back

I hope your cycle is normal this time around 1stbaby, mine have also been really odd since lossing the little one, but starting to go back to normal.

 

[1stbaby]

Yeah I hope it does too. I am having some c cm the past couple of days, i am hoping this is a good sign i will ov on time this month, otherwise I am starting to get a little worried. Who knows. I just really want a this month!! Tonight is a BD night woo hoo!! Then OH and I will take a break tomorrow and not again until Tuesday. Weekends are fun haha.

 

[Gabrielle]

hey Debs...but i finished af today..isnt it too late to start temping?

 

[Gabrielle]

oh crap my ticker says 6days till ovulation.so i probly going to be fertile shortly here eh?...my cycle was 28days last month so im going by that cycle..so i might O later but better to start early !!!

 

[DebsHopeful]

You definitely aren't too late at all to start temping.
If you are on a CD9 today of a 28 day cycle you "should" ovulate around CD12-CD14 (rather get it before then after)
My guess is you will probably ovulate Sunday or Monday. Start taking you temps from tomorrow, to get an idea of what it is like and the day before you ovulate you should see a slight dip in your temp and the next day after ovulation there should be definite rise.
Try it out, it can't hurt and it is a cheap way to know if you could be preggas or if AF is on her way.

 

[Nlytin]

Debs, I know what you mean. I can't wait for your 2ww and your BFP that's going to come!

I can't wait to get to get to Friday and start my BD cycle and then on to OV.
OH and I did some BDing last night and he was so cute to say does this one count and I said no not towards babymaking but it counts for fun. They should all be fun. I realized that it might not have been so fun for him so I will definitely make it fun this time around. I did tell him when it starts to count it will be fun. I don't think I will let him know just do it for fun!!

Gabrielle, I agree with Debs, signup with FF will help you determine OV better and we can also help too.

Hey ladies I just wanted to update the gals who listened to me rant and rave about my long cycle. just arrived after 77 days and now I am back in the running. Good luck to you all and I will hopefully be entering the TWW when you all are getting your s so I will stop by and root for you all. Good luck

 

[Nlytin]

Sad the witch got you and no BFP but happy that long cycle has ended and you can now get back in the mix. Good luck to you this cycle.

 

[bebe]

Hope you everyone is doing well and gearing up for all the that's going to be taking place, I haven't been around for a few days as work has been mental and DH has also been working silly hours, like till 3.30am the other day. Hopefully things will calm down a bit now as I shall be needing his 'services'. I have started doing the opk's as I got a pos on CD 10 last cycle, and dont want to miss it, but I think I will also carry on after my pos this time in case its a false one as I have heard you can have a surge, not ov and then have another surge and ov a week later! I have started getting creamy CM so I don't think its too far away, so will be trying to BD every other da until I get that pos opk.

Are you going to temp Gabriella? Thats my next move if it doesn't happen this cycle I think. Take care and good luck to all!

 

[Gabrielle]

srm0421..oh hunny im sorry that it didnt end up as a BFP..but so happy that you finally got af and can start again! Good luck this cycle...im cheering for you! Also thanks so much for coming to check in and letting us know how you are! take care and lots of hugs!

Ok girls...so i am going to temp..but i get up every like 2 to 3 hours with the baby so they might be inaccurate...? I think i should also temp vaginally because i sleep with my mouth opened. Any tips let me know girls! Thanks

 

[msTwiggy]

Hellooo layyyddeeees!
And how is everyone doing today? Hope everything's going smoothly for all of us Jelly Belly wannabes!

I'm super excited about trying this month i have no idea why. Prolly it's because I just got myself a box of PreSeed and can't wait to give it a try (silly silly, i know, hahah!)

Dear DH just got a job promotion so all the more reason to celebrate in the bed ey??



Gabby, I temp orally, but am so undiscilplined, I tend to forget but trying my best to temp daily this time around!

 

[srm0421]

Thanks gals. Gabby I was thinking of temping vaginally too because I have been sleeping with my mouth open more often than not and I was accurate temps. I will let you know if I decide to when I start temping again. Wishing you all

 

[Gabrielle]

Evening ladies!

srm0421.....wow 77 days! That is a long time to be hanging in the balance.
Glad you are back in the game. It will be awesome if this is your month then we will only be two weeks apart and can all go in the July 09 baby group together.

Sounds to me like we were all busy last night "having fun"!!!! DH and I also had some "time" together for the first time since AF packed all her bags and left.

So the things we are doing differently this month.
Gabrielle is temping, MsTwiggy is using Preseed, we are all doing lots of bding
and I am taking a tip from....not sure who said it or if it was in this thread,
but someone suggested eating a grapefruit a day to help get more EWCM (which I had none of last month).

 

[Nlytin]

Good Morning Ladies.......It seems everyone is gearing up for over the weekend and upcoming week.

Gabrielle - Glad to see your temping. I think it will def. help with you pinpointing OV. What site are you having a problem getting into your signature?

MsTwiggy - Congrats on DH's promotion!!
