    @septca: so bittersweet.

    We've spent a lot of the last few weeks babysitting a two year old. It's been so hard to have all those sweet baby cuddles.

    We're celebrating our 5 year anniversary too - in September!

    Well I'm thinking I maybe ovulated yesterday? I usually get a couple days of positive OPKs around O time, but this month I got a positive yesterday and a negative this AM. We didn't BD yesterday but did this AM...which hopefully will be worth something?? Ugh, I hate feeling like this month is a bust before I even get to the TWW.

    Got a this morning. However still not having any if my signs of AF and my boobs are throbbing this morning (first time that has happened). I'll just have to drown my "sorrows" by going to the Outlets in PA when we go visit my ILs and get a new Coach purse! Only downside is my SIL will probably be there and she's 7 mos pregnant with her surprise 5th baby.

    @Keppa: I think you still have a chance for a positive!

    @Marfi: I'm still hoping for a BFP for you, too!

    @Keppa: I hate when that happens. You're not out til your out, though! Don't lose hope!

    @MrsMcD: I'm with you on that one. What's the matter with DH? I hope he feels better soon.

    I survived mothers' day brunch for my mom. I am avoiding facebook today with all the mothers' day references. Today is CD10. Trying to get in lots of BD the next week.

    Hello sweet ladies. Spotting at what may be 5DPO over here and preparing myself to join you on the June boards for cycle 6. Even though I hoped it wouldn't take this long I couldn't imagine better company on this journey. Hoping a lot of you will graduate and be cheerleaders by the time June rolls around. Big hugs!

    @AmeliaBedilia: I'm also avoiding FB today like the plague. Easter was really difficult for me - seeing all of the adorable family photos. So I think avoiding FB today, and probably tomorrow, too, is in my best interest.

    I'm at CD4 and day 2 of round 2 of Clomid. Not feeling much of anything, really.

    And AF comes right on schedule. !! Go figure that one. Here goes another month!!

    Of course if today couldn't get any worse- it does!! got home from work and got in the shower (I'm one of those people that just get it without turning it on first). Well- I start shampooing my hair and the water keeps getting colder and colder!!!! Hot water heater broke!! It was a miserable shower! Boo. But I had already committed it!

    I don't want to read into this too much but... Both Saturday and today I've had a weird metal taste/feeling on one of my teeth with a filling. It's only this one filling, I don't notice anything with any of my others. It tastes/feels like raw metal or something. And then it goes away after a little bit. Again, trying not to read into it but always easier said than done

    @LindsayInNY: I'll be excited for you.

    Not much doing here - finally got a + OPK this morning, which means I should O tomorrow... a few days later than normal, which I think must be a side effect of last month's CP. Our timing this cycle has been.... nonexistent? I may try to jump DH tonight, but honestly, I have *not* been feeling it this month. I think half of me is terrified of getting pregnant and losing it again, and the other half figures there is no point in TTC right now because this is a "bad side" month. Sigh. If I did magically get KU, my EDD would be the day after my EDD with DD.

    We are on CD 20 today and I am not temping or using opks, so I don't know exactly when I ovulated, but based on CM and previous cycles, I'd say CD 13 or 14. Last night we BD just for fun and it has been a WHILE since that has happened. I was laughing to myself because usually when we BD to TTC, I don't like to get up and go to the bathroom after, so I sleep on a towel (ew), but last night I got up right after - just like the old days before we ever started trying! Lol life is funny.

    I hope everyone is doing well today

    Wow I'm way behind. Catching up.

    @bhbee: Yay! I know lots of people said yay but I wanted to say yay too.

    @Keppa: Your timing doesn't sound bad! The day before O and day of O are usually the best chances. I have been looking at a lot of FF pregnancy charts and some people KU on either BDing once on the day they got the + opk or the day after and that is the only BDing they did!

    @Marfi: Did you take another test? FX!

    @MrsMcD: Haha my hubs is a bit of a whiner too.

    @MrsMccarthy: Isn't spotting at dpo 5 a good sign? Don't worry yet!

    @mrs bunchy: Argh bummers about your water heater.

    @LindsayInNY: Those sound like great signs. I'm trying not to symptom spot either. It is hard!

    @septca: FX to you lady.

    @mrs. tictactoe: Great story! It's funny how life is.

    So FF finally readjusted to have my O date on CD22 (May 8th) so I think I'm officially in TWW at dpo4. I feel absolutely nothing. Haha. No symptoms at all.

    I believe in Chinese zodiacs and not to sound crazy but this was our last chance to have a horse baby and it makes me sad that we missed out on this year. Next zodiac is ram/sheep and though that is not a bad zodiac I had my mind set on a horse for some weird reason.

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @MrsMccarthy: I also think spotting at 5dpo could be a good sign. I think "IB" more than "AF". How are you feeling today?

    @HeartAbandoned: How are you doing on the clomid? Are you being monitored? Are you seeing an obgyn or an RE? (I'm curious about fertility interventions so thanks for answering these questions if you can.)

    @mrs bunchy: Sucks about Af and the cold shower. But on to a fresh new start!!

    @LindsayInNY: Is metallic taste a pregnancy symptom? I hope so!!!

    @septca: Jump him tonight! Do it! One BD is better than no BD.

    @mrs. tictactoe: Hooray for fun sex with a shower afterwards!

    @Raindrop: I don't know much about zodiac signs, but I, too, wan't a horse sign for my baby. Are we already out of that sign? Ugh... a ram... lame sign.

    @AmeliaBedilia: I wish I had been smart enough to avoid FB this weekend. I drastically underestimated how shitty it would be to see all that two weeks after my m/c. And another handful of people announced they are expecting fall babies! More data to support my hypothesis that everyone in the entire world is pregnant right now but us.

    @septca: I'm in a similar situation, thinking I'll probably see my first + OPK this evening, which is several days later in my cycle than normal - certainly due to the fact that it's my first ovulation post-miscarriage. I'm trying to think positively about the chance of a successful conception/pregnancy this cycle though, since I read so many anecdotes from women who got knocked up the cycle after miscarriage. Good luck to us both!

    grapefruit / 4731 posts

    @MrsMcD: You might be okay but I'll be out.

    This year Chinese new years will be 2-19-2015. So if your next cycle lands your EDD before that date you still have a horse!

    I don't think my next cycle will make in before that date so this is the last one for us.

  27. HeartAbandoned

    clementine / 933 posts

    @MrsMcD: I'm on day 3 of Clomid, and I was a bit emotional this morning, but I think the full reasoning behind that is a combination of factors, not just the meds! And I'm feeling much better this afternoon. But physically I feel totally ok. Just two more days!

    I was prescribed the Clomid by my OB, and she's not doing any sort of monitoring this cycle. Last cycle I did a CD21 progesterone test, but I'll be on vacation for CD21 this time, so she said not to worry about it. Since I ovulated on it last time, she's confident I will again this time, and that is the only info you get from that blood work. She'll do 3 rounds of Clomid with me before sending me to an RE. Obviously my prayer is that we don't get to that point...

    @Raindrop: Darn it. This is my last cycle to give me a horse-sign baby. I'm not expecting much from this cycle since DH has a morph issue. But I'm not losing all hope!

    @HeartAbandoned: Thanks for the info. I understand the emotional feeling. At least you can legitimately blame it on the meds. Are you doing IUI or timed intercourse?

  29. HeartAbandoned

    clementine / 933 posts

    @MrsMcD: Timed intercourse for us. I don't know if we'll end up doing IUI, if it comes down to it. I guess we'll have that conversation if/when it comes to that. I'm hopeful that we only have issues on my end (PCOS, anovulatory), and that one or two more cycles when I actually ovulate will be the trick for us. I am thankful though to know that if I do end up at an RE's office, that I'll have at least one diagnosis and 3 cycles' worth of data in-hand. Looking for my silver linings! I hope you get your horse-sign baby!

    @HeartAbandoned: I'm hoping this TI will do the trick for you, too. Does everything look okay with your DH?

    I stuck Keppa on May 22. If you Oed 3 days ago, I just added 14 days to that. I hope that's okay!

    Also since I'm a big stalker in the other threads I noticed that Lil Bean is listed there as May 22nd too so I updated it here too. I hope that's okay also!

    Also updated septca to May 27th ... again O + 14 days. Again I hope that's okay. Haha.

    @Raindrop: you can update me, but DH says no POAS this month.

  34. Raindrop

    grapefruit / 4731 posts

    @septca: Okay but still bummers I know you much you like POASing! Hopefully the one month you don't do it is your lucky month.

  35. LindsayInNY

    bananas / 9229 posts

    @Raindrop: Every cycle I tell myself I won't symptom spot and then, of course, I do!

    @MrsMcD: Some people mention it as a symptom. I don't know if what I'm experiencing is the same thing though? Whatever at this point, LOL!

  36. Raindrop

    grapefruit / 4731 posts

    @LindsayInNY: LOL I thought you mentioned it because you knew it was a symptom! Metal taste in month is a very common symptom for being KU in TWW.

    Google "TWW metallic taste"

    @MrsMcD: @Raindrop: Did you guys see this? Apparently rushing to conceive for the year of the horse is a major issue!

    (I just want to conceive soon, so we'd have a year-of-the-horse baby this cycle, but I wouldn't mind a sheep. They're cute!)

  39. deactivated_account

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @PawPrints: Oh my gosh! Why does the article call it the "dreaded" year of the sheep??? I like sheeps too. But RAMS just remind me of big construction worker trucks. Horses remind me of happinesss and mystical magic.

  40. Raindrop

    grapefruit / 4731 posts

    @PawPrints: LOL! Okay okay... I didn't want to put any sign down. Ram/sheep is actually not terrible but having a Horse is usually consider "better". So I'm not surprised by that article.

    Me and DH both have brothers in Ram/sheep and they are both kind of the "black sheep" of the family so we "worried" about that a little bit but again all superstitious!
