January testers?

[Angel5000]

Seasons to have babies? As a teacher, my "perfect" timing would be late spring. If I Could have my due date in May it would be perfect because I could go out for the rest of the year and then have summer off with baby too before I have to go back to work. Unfortunately right now if we get our BFP that will put me right near teh beginning of the school year. But I'm tired of waiting and so we're just gonna see how it goes.

Mrs Unicorn - yeah, I don't think they realized it at all. I even told DH when we left that I never realized how insensitive those questions were until we started trying and now I realize just how awful it can be! My family has been asking me for years when Id' have babies, because I was with my ex for 8 years so they expected it by now. DH and I are only a year and a half married, so people are just now starting to ask us. My favorite is "you're getting old, time's running out...."

ABmommy I want to try SMEP this cycle too but my mom will be staying with us this whole week and so that could make things a little tricky. Hard to be seductive when my mom is sleeping just a room away

I'm a teacher too, and that was my plan as well! Maternity leave in the spring and then all summer with baby. But some health things have come up for me, so now we're trying for a baby whenever we can. Though, DH's whole family has their birthdays from September to December, so I was hoping to avoid that time block as well. Ah well. Happy and healthy babies are the goal at any time

Good luck teevee !! We got pg the first month we tried with dd! Just make sure you have lots and lots of sex!!

 

[Angel5000]

ser - What do you teach? I'm High school Math. I'd still love the spring baby thing but I'm at the "whenever I can get pregnant" is the goal stage too. Though, this month would put me late September, but at least it's not August and I'd at least get to start the year! better than missing the entire first month! Good luck to you!

 

[teevee]

Thanks so much liddleloo! I'm trying to not get my hopes up that we will get PG on the first cycle trying, but I sure do hope that is the case!!

I am a school psychologist so I would love a due date February-April. It would ideal to take maternity and then summer. But a May or June due date and the beginning of the year off wouldn't be so bad. I have the added benefit of not being instructional staff so that isn't as hard.

 

[ABmommy]

Haha Angel!! I bet that will be pretty difficult. Luckily we live close to family so we get to come home to our house alone at the end of the days after the festivities! I think we'll try SMEP next cycle if I don't get a BFP this cycle.

 

[lesondemavie]

Positive opk last night and ewcm today. BDing has been right on schedule and ahem...amazing ...even with my brother and SIL visiting . Shooting for the smep, and might just make it this cycle. Expecting my temp to spike tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don't go crazy this TWW!

 

[skycastles]

teevee first cycle for me to! I think i'm just excited to be trying and won't be too disappointed if it doesn't happen this month.. i'm trying to enjoy the (hopefully not too long) journey

My ewcm is continuing on so I can't say I've ovulated yet. I hope I ovulate today, otherwise my weekend BD won't really make it. I almost gave in and planned to take my temp this morning to see if my temps have risen but I managed to talk myself out of it!

 

[Pne1985]

Can I join this list? Hopefully, I will be testing January 12th if I can hold off that long!

 

[twinkie2]

How long does your ewcm last usually, twinkie2? Maybe you stopped producing it due to stress since you were busy? Hopefully you're still gearing up to O.
I experienced the same thing over the weekend but fx i may still be in with a chance

Usually 3ish days I guess (I haven't charted since my first ttc and I've forgotten my pw to look at the old charts). This time it was about a day and a half so I hope you are right! Normally I hate my long cycle, but in this instance I thought it was working better for us since our timing wasn't working out. Still concerned though as it seems like CP is lower than it was yesterday. I hope you still have a chance skycastles! Good luck!

I never seem to get ewcm....think I may need to invest in some ovulation tests as I don't actually know when I am ovulating, although today (CD 12) I do have some period type pain....

Can someone refresh my memory....when you do the ovulation test and it is positive does that mean you are ovulating, about to ovulate or have ovulated already? It's amazing what you forget! Lol xx

 

[Joybell]

Hi
Can you add me? Testing on 1st January at 11dpo. I'm officially 10dpo although I'll probably be bad and test before then

Good luck to everyone TTC#2 and on cycle 3.

 

[AshNAmber]

Hi ladies.. Was wondering if I can mosey on over from the December thread as the evil has struck again I gotta find the humor So this will be my 2nd cycle my DW and I are using a known donor spoke with them yesterday to prepare for January.. This time I'm going to use digital OPK's so lets hope for some New Years luck Looks like possible test date will be the 24th

When you get your positive OPK it means you're body is getting ready to ovulate and its said that it can happen anywhere from 6 to 48 hours after!

 

[Ruby14]

Okay so I think that I might have had some ovulation spotting yesterday at 4 dpo.. is that too long after O to have spotting caused by it? I was having some dark brown. Also is my temp dip today at 5 dpo too early for an implantation dip?

 

[mrs unicorn]

Hey ashnamber, sorry to see you here (sounds weird but you know what I mean!) at least we can all enjoy the festivities and look forward to a brand new year - the year we all get our bfps!

 

[Pne1985]

My cycle runs anywhere from 25-28 days. But I'm pretty sure I ovulate on cd10 or around there. Is anyone else's cycle similar?

 

[Jaxie086]

Just started my new cycle. Jan 14 for me!!

Mine is similar. I'm 25 days and usually O around cd12
