Hi there lilrojo & Sun_Flower.. I've sort of just thrown myself into work as well.. I work from home, so it's like err... I want to go out, like maybe that will make the time go faster, but I'm tied to these walls 8:30-5!! My mom & I are actually trying to start our own insurance agency, so that will surely be time consuming.

I think we will every other night starting Thursday night.. A little scared it will start to feel like a chore, but want to make sure that we don't miss out on our window of opportunity!

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies, Af is over for me too.. yay! I'm a stay at home mom.. so no work to pass the time except for the housework and child work.. haha.. i love it.. I know what you mean about not wanting it to be a chore.. ttc sex always seems so much more like a chore.. all the planning.. etc.. i think we will start on thursday too.. i know i more than likely wont be oing yet but i also dont want to miss my fertile days.. i ordered some opks so they should come the end of this week.. then i will start testing.. just dtd everyother night till i get a + then the next few nights..

How are all of you today??

 

[DrGomps]

time seems to be dragging for me as well...I would throw myself into work ( I am a neuroscientist) but I am currently sick with the flu...hope this doesn't effect my fertility.

I wish I had the same self restraint as alot of you ladies, keeping HPTs out of your house. I am all stocked up. But I have loads of internet cheapies and some 10 mIU sensitive ones as well as FRER, ANSWER and Clearblue Okay...I have a serious problem. But I will try and hold out for at least 8 DPO. I have such a long cycle, that it seems to drag on forever. taking clomid this cycle so hopefully that speeds things up. Last cycle I oed on CD 21.

I swear I am wishing my life away! Days to OV and then days post OV

lilrojo - how much do you pay for OPK's when ordering online? Walgreens has them, but they are like $30 for 7 tests, and that seems a bit expensive..?

DrGomps - don't feel bad.. If I get the sudden urge (which I might), I might end up testing on like Valentines day or something earlier than when AF should arrive.. I will try to hold out because I see a (-) & think, well theres still a chance, and I will start testing every day after that.. So I've got to keep it undercontrol until is supposed to arrive or as close to that date as possible!

Traskey - I know how you feel... This really sucks.. I've got 8 days til Ov & then another 14 days after that.. Ugh, TIME IS DRAGGING!!

I was wondering, am I the only person that goes and searches for a due date calculator & tries to see what my due date would be if i got pregnant this cycle.. Just wondering BTW, if I did get pregnant, due date would be October 26th.

I do that every single month!! November 2.
CD 6 and the witch is still here. But with my long cycle, we won't be BD'ing with a purpose 'til about CD 18. These long cycles take for.ev.er.
I'm still holding on to my one hpt. The very day I took the first one (BFN) was the very day AF showed up, a little later. So I'm saving this one 'til it counts.

Well hopefully, since all of our cycles are fairly close, we can all go on to be bump buddies together!

When I was younger, my cycles used to be super long & I used to bleed FOREVER.. BC has kind of leveled me out though & helped a lot.. This was my 1st cycle off of BC & I half expected a super long period (my periods used to be 10+ days) but it was only 5 days long.. So hopefully, if I get a BFN, they stay that way..!

yay the is gone!! I hope you are all doing well this month, im charting for the 1st time its kinda hard to remember 1st thing in the morning, yesterday i fell asleep with the the thermoniter in my mouth! I have baught so OPK and couldnt help using one today im only on CD 5 but im not very good at having them in the house, I think this month might be the 1st month I do an early pregnancy test, I havnt baught any so for because I know i would just use them all! My OPK was - but still had quite a distinct line, I hope this is ok im going to test again tomorrow. for the 1st time this cycle today, does anyone have any advice as to which is better everyday or every other day? bady dust to all of you xxxx

 

[FloridaGirl21]

From what I've been told in this post, it's best to wait every-other day to so that's what I'll be doing

 

[Sun_Flower]

I've been told every other d\y so OH's sperm has a chance to replenish? not sure if that's right but we're giving it a go!

 

[lovie]

Hey I ordered mine off Amazon.com, I got a 20 pack of the clearblue digital opks for like 24 dollars..
& yes I always look at my due date haha.. this month it would be between the 28-30th of Oct depending on when I actually o.. next month would be around Nov 30th haha..

 

[lilrojo]

af is gone.. on to the fun part!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

lol, we weren't starting until Thursday.. but OH had other plans.. He also asked me not to temp & just let us "try" this month, so change of plans, we'll be doing it that way.. Guess it's good we started early then, just in case I Ov sooner than when I expect..

 

[lilrojo]

sometimes i think thats the best way to do it.. just relax and enjoy.. thats what im going to do.. relax more.. been a lot more worried about everything and stressed after my mc..just need to relax and let things happen.. more fun that way.. although i will be using opks.. thats it..hope you catch your eggy and have fun!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Yeah, I'll try it his way & see what happens..? We MC'd last June, I was 6wks to the day. I'm terrified that when we get our + I will loose the baby again.. It's a super scary experience... But what can you do...?

That's what OH says too, 'let it happen on it's own".. We'll see
