WTT sept/oct/nov graduates!

[patienceiav]

Haha i know what you mean, baby making schedule makes things tougher I'm only on Cycle 2 though so I'm not exactly all knowing!

TMI time

After my innocent seeming "temp drop" this morning I had a tiny bit of brown/sticky cm with nothing when wiping, hasn't gotten any more over the day but there's always a tiny brown pink smudge each time I change an every day liner.

At 10dpo it's perfect timing but I'm still skeptic, if tomorrow my temp goes up and I don't get an increase in brown cm is hope, for now I'll lay around desperately hoping think tomorrow will start the poas !

I was the same way lovetocruise, could not wait for af. I hope the witch comes soon. 6 weeks w/out dtd oh my. You two will be ready!

I'm so excited for you Patience, that sound so very promising. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Night before last was our first baby making session. We haven't used protection for years (just natural prevention) so the end was what made it different and so real! I don't want to take a too relaxed approach to it, but I also don't want to freak DH out with all the tricks of the trade. I don't think he has a clue that OPK exists. We'll definetly be upping our frequency. I'd say we are a 2 times a week average before and I'd like to move it up to every other day or every 3 days.

We were talking this morning about what we needed to get done this weekend and in the list DH threw in "baby making." I know it doesn't sound particulary sweet, but I was so glad he's associating dtd with baby making. I know he's ready to start a family, but it's not like he gushes about it like I tend to do in my head.

Thanks i can't believe just a few days ago I was totally convinced I was out, now I'll be devastated if i get af. Only time will tell

Hehe bd the first time post bcp for me was totally weird, I felt so strange after! Don't worry about oh, mine has gone from thinking you can just make a baby any time of the month, believing that noone "stresses" as much as me (temping and timing bd round O) to being able to tell him about my chart readings and able to plan bd time we wouldn't normally have because we wouldn't have a shot otherwise... Break it to them slowly and it'll work out

 

[MKAC2005]

This is our first real month TTC. I started charting/temping and using OPK's this month as well. I am really hoping for a BFP but at the same time I feel it will never happen even though I already have a 9 and 6 year old....My cycles average 25 days give or take a day or 2 and my LP is about 10 days.

 

[purplecupcake]

Been off birth control since December 2012 when my husband deployed. He's been home about 2 months but yesterday was the first time I got a positive opk so trying not to get too excited! Got excited last month when I missed my period but it ended up just being a super long cycle

 

[patienceiav]

Goodness... Late last night I felt it coming....

Thus morning confirmed, 10dpo af came last month it was at 18dpo... Coming off the BC pill sucks... stupid body has tricked me twice now, I don't even want to listen to it any more

Good luck to the rest of you, now the game begins when I'll O again

I'm sorry I was really rooting for you.

 

[patienceiav]

I was utterly shocked, this early ? on to cycle 3 then need to think of something to try harder with next time ! Eating well I think will be my next goal

 

[Cntrygal]

Oh patience I'm so sorry Hang in there.

Based on the handy dandy online ovulation calculator this week is my fertile week. I'm not looking forward to the TWW.

Fingers crossed for all you lovely ladies!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm officially in the TWW!!!

 

[patienceiav]

Lovetocruise thanks sweetie how's your cycle going now ?

Cntrygal thanks my "AF" is now over on CD2, go figure i'm not expecting my next cycle to be anything like normal. Now you best go get your BD on !

Brandi that's so great it's a long wait, best of luck to you !

 

[lovetocruise]

Still waiting on af to show so I can start my first cycle..the only time I want her to show up early and she takes her sweet time...ugh. I actually got to the point last night where I thought to heck with it, lets just bd and see what happens. OH was not supportive of that idea. I've been trying to seduce him all day, but he has incredible self-control. It's probably a good thing, I'm not sure I could handle it if the ultrasound tech told me there were more than 2 heartbeats.

Only 2 days of af?? Was it heavy? Are you sure it couldn't have been implantation bleeding?

 

[patienceiav]

Ahh you're waiting so the stuff they gave you during the egg harvest doesn't encourage multiples? I'd definitely prefer that over months of failed attempts (only on 2 fails so far so can't complain)

It was lighter than I'm used to buy definitely enough for af, probably light/short cuz it was so damn early :/ the only thing I'm confused about is why yesterday mornings temp alone made my O crosshair go dotted, I definitely O'ed on the day I put in unless my hormones lied somehow with the +opk

 

[lovetocruise]

Yes, I was on 4 different fertility boosting and follicle stimulating medications this month. The doctor warned me that if we didn't abstain until after my first period we could literally end up with 10 embryos. While I could handle 2, any more than that would be too dangerous and stressful.

 

[Cntrygal]

BrandiCanucks when is AF due and when do you plan to test?

Mkac good luck this month! If things don't happen for DH and I after a few months I may need a lesson in charting/temping/OPK. Hopefully you're on your way to 1st trimester by then.

Purplecupcakes, sorry your cycle is all messed up. This month sounds promising though!

Drats, when I read your post patience on a 2 day AF I was hopeing for the same as lovetocruise.

10 embryos lovetocruise...holy cow! But I got a good chuckle about you seducing OH. I could see myself doing the same thing.

I told DH that this week was my fertile week. He gave me a smirk and says "so I won't get in trouble for coming home and jumping your bones then huh?" TMI...gonna attempt bd every night this week. I'm already getting anxious about the TWW and I'm not even there yet.

 

[patienceiav]

Haha yikes, hopefully that'll mean your first attempt will be a raging success!

I was hopeful for the first day but by the 2nd I figured there's no way this would be IB, I know some women have regular periods and are pregnant but I just don't think I'm that person, I went from feeling pregnant in the morning to dread as the bleeding began in the evening, what a turn around i should be at 13dpo today not cd3 it feels horrid sorry for whining I just feel rubbish!

 

[lovetocruise]

Cntrygal, I have read that bding every day may not be as effective as every other day because the spermies may not have time to mature enough. But I've read the opposite as well. Just wanted to give you a heads up so you have as high of chances as possible.

 

[lovetocruise]

That's the goal, to catch the egg on the first try.

Don't apologize! That's what we're all here for, to whine to when things don't go as planned and there's noone else that understands.

 

[Cntrygal]

lovetocruise...I have read that too about the little spermies and I'm on the fence about it. I figure we'll just play it by ear. We aren't getting techincal about bd so we won't be bd unless we're in the mood. So every day this week is highly unlikely. Probably get a little more serious about it all if we don't get lucky on this first month.

Vent away patience. That's what we're here for...the good, the bad, and the gross.

I need you ladies to tell me to lay off the caffeine. For the past year or better I have drank weak coffee, I just can't handle strong stuff. At work I use 1/2 cup hot water to 1/2 cup coffee. But I do that 2-3 times AND have a diet dr.pepper in the afternoon. Do you think I'm ok if I do my 1/2 water 1/2 coffee, then do a second cup of 1/2 water 1/2 decaf? Do you think I've maxed out my caffeine limit or could I still have a diet dr.pepper in the afternoon? I see my bedtime getting moved up the less caffeine I drink.

I am out for October AF showed up yesterday, so on to next month!!

Good luck to everyone still waiting!
