Praying 4 peanut...

Sounds good to me too! I really didn't notice any symptoms until about 20-25 DPO with my first looking back though I had a bit of what you're feeling.

Also sounds like a potential chemical last cycle??

Good luck &

Praying lady, that's a lovely temp spike . Good luck!!

same to you doll! Where are you in your cycle?

I'm on CD 8 of a 32 day cycle. O on CD 20 usually. DH and I like to bd 'for fun' from now until about CD 15 when things get serious. Lol. I generally don't tell him when o is to keep things light. I'll tell him a few days later though.

My chart is attached if you wish to peek

This is also my 4th cycle trying post MMC so hoping for a this round!

lovely! the good thing about it is you look like you usually O on the same day! Amazing

I WISH!!! I have to tell my husband when I'm O to avoid the "I'm tired" nonsense...but even when he's coming off a 17 hour shift, he gets "excited" at the potential of making a baby

Good luck and baby dust to you!!

I find DH gets anxious if I tell him. He likely has an idea though cause I get really 'friendly' for about a week each cycle. Lol

Sunny Leah,

Thanks for your response!! I was thinking it might have been a chemical, but didn't want to jump to conclusions. I am so hopeful this month...but trying not to get my hopes up at the same time! It is reassuring to hear that you felt the same way when you got your BFP. Fingers X'ed

Good luck and baby dust to you too!!

 

[prayin4peanut]

Hahahaha "friendly" is a great way to put it!

Keep me posted on how you make out this month!

I am hoping that it was late O. I took 100mgs Clomid 5-9 ( Feb. 20-24th). Had day 21 (March 8) blood work done and my Progesterone was at a 1.2. I had some pain I thought to be O 3 or 4 days after my blood work was done. Is it possible to O that late on Clomid and conceive? Hubby and I have been BDing every other day pretty much since my bloodwork...

Hey Ladies,

Last night I did an OPK and in less than one minute it was super dark!!! We dtd... however from I arrived at work this morning I've been having serious ovulation pains. More left side than any. Its been hurting all day!!! Im definitely ovulating today... Im hoping i dont be in this much pain to BD when I get offf... ugh it hurts soooo bad

if you're ovulating today, then dtd last night will be plenty if you're in too much pain for tonight. Good luck!

Hey Girl! Its been awhile since Ive seen how you and the twins are and Im heart broken to find that you lost them at 8 weeks... Im so sorry... You start another round of clomid? Praying that it sticks for you! Its one thing to get pregnant but then to go through worrying for that first part if your gonna lose them... keep strong my dear girl!

Hi bluz...yeah, it's been really rough. It was a week ago today that we found out. Can't start again until my HCG is back to 0 and who knows how long that could take. Today's number was really high at 2365. I go every monday for blood draws now until 0. Then i have to wait for a period to return and only then can we start trying again...i'm hoping this all just take a couple of months or less. no more clomid until then. They are going to do a bunch of blood work between now and then to find out why my babies don't make it past a certain point. Hopefully we'll get some answers and my next pregnancy will stick. Thank you for checking on me. How are you???

I'm so sorry to hear all of this! Was so excited for you... cant imagine now how much it stinks to have to wait all the way till they are back to 0... hows OH taking it? What are you doing to keep your mind off of it? And just by your statement, have you been pregnant before? THeres a certain point they dont make it? Im a praying woman and so every now and then ( my hubby knows I go here for support) I tell him about one of my ladies that needs prayer. Youll go on that and you will get a sticky bfp in no time... Im doing ok... Tryin to not focus on ttc and just worrying now if i have something wrong with me... i know its not a year yet, but its getting close.. OH has some issues as well and im wondering if they are whats making it take awhile.. he feels so guilty and wants to be a dad so bad.. so we are getting an appt soon... i just wanted to try on my own and make it, you know? If its him then because of the condition he has we can only do IVF and I dont know how I feel about doctors choosing the best sperm and egg that meet their genetic criteria... seems wrong.. anyhow.. just trying to not let it take over my life.. seems like ppl that would be great moms cant get there... and i have tons of friends who dont want it and have tons... but it will all be worth it in the end!!!

Hi - this is my first post in any TTC forum, and I'm glad this thread for newbies like me exists!

AF just arrived... again. We've been TTC for six months now, and I'm starting to get frustrated and sad. I never realized how hard this process would be - doesn't it just seem like everyone else around you gets pregnant easily and exactly when they want to? I know that is not the case - but I feel like I'm losing my perspective. I want to conceive our first healthy baby so badly. I told myself when we first started that I would not stress it until it had been at least 6 months... and now here we are. Should we start looking into fertility testing and seeing doctors? Uhg- I don't know - but I know having this forum to talk to other women going through the same thing will be so helpful. Thanks Baby and Bump!

I'm in the same boat as you! Just hit the 6 month mark and starting to get discouraged. We spend so much of our lives trying not to get pregnant and then we can't when we want to! My best friend got pregnant on her first try and I am so happy for her, but part of me (and I hate to admit this) wants to strangle her! This process has been so heartbreaking for me (and I'm sure you feel the same). Have you or your DH been tested for fertility? I am considering this as a next step option...

Good luck to you! Lots of baby dust!!

It is miss conceiving how hard it actually is to get pregnant. A great book to get lots of info about simple things that might be delaying pregnancy is 'taking charge of your fertility'. The author is Toni something. A woman who specializes in educating women about their bodies and cycles. It's amazing how little we are taught about ourselves!! As for the doctors, I'm not sure where you live but where I am they want you to try for a year on your own. Most couples will conceive on their own in a year. Good luck! And it's still too early to panic so take heart!

I find DH gets anxious if I tell him. He likely has an idea though cause I get really 'friendly' for about a week each cycle. Lol

that's hilarious...i think i need to be a bit more subtle...i just attack and it's really obvious. ha!!!

 

[PDubs10612]

Had my fertility specialist appt. wednesday...didn't get to see doc cause he was sick but had blood drawn for both me and DH, had vaginal ultrasound, and got DH setup for his SA which he is going to try to do today...don't know too much until the doctor looks at my notes and some bloodwork but the nurses think he will put me on metformin ..yay

I tell DH nonchalantly during the day via text, usually with a picture attached haha and then I'm really friendly when he gets home from work

 

[PDubs10612]

definitely got all my fingers and toes crossed I brought my sister's bloodwork in because she's trying too and she has a genetic blood clotting thing and neither of the nurses had even heard of it! I have an appt. on April 1st so if I don't get a call before that then I guess I will get some news that day..can't help but get excited

 

[Sunnyleah]

I pretty much just get really friendly in the evening on the couch and he takes it from there. Although last night he practically jumped me! Lol

Nice to be wanted sometimes just because
