@Ajsmommy: The clock is ticking for me too!! I got married late so I'm behind on TTC and of course I didn't know how long it would take to conceive because I've never been pregnant before!
@marley: still crossing my fingers for you but if not, I'm hoping AF comes soon so you can start anew!
How's everyone else doing?
-
Good luck everyone!
Does anyone know if taking B6 to lengthen your LP should be taken the entire month or only after ovulation? I think my LP is kind of short.

Super excited to join, though we're really more NTNP than TTC, I think! I charted with my first and got pregnant the first cycle, but this time I'm not planning to chart for the first few cycles.
TTC Cycle #1
LO #2, DS is 2.5
O-Date I'm thinking 10/11ish, based on my 28ish day cycles, but I'm not planning to chart and this is also my first post-IUD cycle, so it's a shot in the dark!
Plan for this month: Nothing special, just bd!
Halloween plans: LO is going to be a money and I briefly entertained the idea of being the guy in the yellow hat but I don't think I'm going to. Last year, he lasted all of two houses in his costume lol -

@starlitsky: Doing good here, waiting to POAS, I've been feeling 'symptoms' all month, but I'm not convinced about anything so mostly have been blowing them off. Good luck tomorrow!!
@Applesandbananas: When's your POAS date? -
Y'all, I've basically convinced myself I'm pregnant. Someone just give me a quick slap. I keep feeling "symptoms" that I know aren't real. I have been so bloated and my boobs have been achey/sensitive. It's the first time we've had unprotected sex in almost 3 years, so I'm sure that's why I'm freaking out. Realistically, I know it's improbable, but you know the TWW makes you crazy.
Wine Wednesday next week with the girls, so I'm going to test Wednesday (10/7) morning to make sure I'm good to have a glass. I'm not positive when I O'd (I didn't use opk's and my body is funky), so on Wednesday I could be anywhere from 8-11dpo.
-
@Mrs. J: Thanks girl! Now that we're here, I'm not sure I'm ready.
-
@tiramisu: I'm pretty sure it's after ovulation! It staved off my O one month a couple days when I took it starting after AF
Won't be doing that again lol!
-
@photojane: virtual slap!
J/K! I totally get it, it's like every month you tell yourself that you won't go all psycho symptom spot lady and it happens anyways. Every time. After 6 months, it's just a bummer lol
-
@WinterBee: ooh you're just a few days away from testing! How many dpo will you be?
I'm kinda nervous about testing tomorrow! 13 days should be enough for the trigger (ovidrel) to be out of my system, right??
@photojane: the tww really does makes me crazy! I'm analyzing every twinge or cramp and wondering if it's good or bad!
@Applesandbananas: welcome!!
-
@WinterBee: can I go with TBD? With it being my first post-iud cycle, even though I'm usually a clockwork 28 days, I'm not really sure what'll happen!
@starlitsky: thanks!!
-
OKAYYYY. Got my 'peak' on my monitor today! After 3 days of high. We BDd last night - was going to again tomorrow because I didn't think I'd get peak already. Should we tonight too? Or just tomorrow?
-
@JoJoGirl: I know nothing about TTC. Peaks, temping, etc. is all foreign to me. BUT, I do know the more you BD, the more chances you have for a
!
-
@photojane: Haha. True.
-
@starlitsky: AF showed up! never been happier to see her.
@WinterBee: So I guess I can still POAS later this month! I think maybe 10/28?
-
@JoJoGirl: I'd go tonight too! Just to cover your bases...how many days of Peak does it usually show? I know for the CB advanced opk there was only two days of the solid smiley so we just hit both days. Though third night in a row on a weeknight made for way less than romantical tines
-
@JoJoGirl: The best study I read showed that there is a chance of conception of 38% if you do it everyday versus 33% (or something similar) so its definitely worth it to do it today unless your hubs has any sperm issues that I don't know about!
-
@photojane: I've also convinced myself I'm pregnant (while also convincing myself that I'm crazy, hah).
This is my third day of cramps -- today it's all along where my c-section incision is. Could be gas? I have no idea. I also feel dizzy and keep getting hot flashes, enough that I checked to see if I have a fever (I don't). It's entirely likely that I'm coming down with some kind of daycare crud, and that my stomach/pelvis hurt from my late-night snacking because my husband's on night shifts and a period that's due on Wednesday.
-
@Nutella: I've only ever used the monitor once since I got pregnant the first time with it, haha. So I don't remember!
@teawithpaloma: No sperm issues! But okay tonight is a go... and tomorrow too if we can pull it together.

@JoJoGirl:

Wow ladies, I am blindsided with my lack of foresight. I had to get a second dose of MMR due to not being immune to measles for entry into my graduate program. I did the first dose in July and did the second dose today. After seeing someone else I post I realize that you have to wait 28 days to conceive due to theoretical exposure to live vaccines (though it may never happened before). The nurse at the doctor's office didn't counsel me on this at all or tell me not to become pregnant. But I have a public health background and can't in good conscience ignore the CDC recommendations. So I am out this month.
Hopefully this means my August baby is meant to be!

November Babes: teawithpaloma@starlitsky: I have noooo idea lol. My cycle has been so wonky that I don't know when or even if I Oed this cycle. My app says AF is expected Oct. 11... so I'm going off of that... even though it's all screwed up too haha.
@Applesandbananas: I put you down.
@JoJoGirl: Everyday!! Haha, good luck!
@marley: Good luck at the end of the month!!
@teawithpaloma: Ohhh noooooo! Good for you though, better to be safe!
-
@teawithpaloma: aww, sorry to hear this
I think it's crazy they didn't mention this slightly huge detail to you...but thank goodness you had prior knowledge!
-
@Nutella: I am going to call my PCP and tell him but what's done is done!
-
@teawithpaloma: Good plan - I would do the same! Fingers crossed for next month though!
-
@marley: yay for AF and glad you will still be in the oct poas thread!
@teawithpaloma: sorry you have to wait but good thing you realized there could be a risk if you hadn't waited! is there a special reason you're trying for an august baby?
@Purpledaisy: are you ready to test tomorrow??
edited to say I just realized I replied to your other post!! YAY can't wait to hear how it goes tomorrow! so starting at 10 dpo I've been getting faint lines on IC but FRER had a super faint line (maybe evap?) which only came up after 10 min. I'm going to test again in the morning. I'll be 13 dpo tomorrow.
-
@starlitsky: as you can see from my thread I couldn't make it until tomorrow
hoping for a positive FRER in the morningCan you post a pic of you test??
-
@Purpledaisy: hehe I started early too
sure, which test do you want me to post a pic of? IC or FRER?
-
Hey ladies, I have a charting question.. So on cd 12, I had a temp rise to my usual post-O range. It has stayed raised up over my previous temps. However, I got a positive OPK on CD 15. Today, my temp rose even higher (cd 17). Is it possible that I ovulated on CD 11? Or is it definitely going to have been cd 16? I didn't know if it was possible to get a positive OPK after ovulation...
I do know that we trust temps more than opk's, and without the OPK info in my app, FF says I O'd on cd11, but with it in there, it hasn't said (though I'd assume it will say cd 16 once I have enough higher temps in there). So I'm just a little confused?
I'm attaching my chart with and without opk info. Thanks for your input!!
-
@teawithpaloma: ugh, that's frustrating. At least it's only a month - that's not too bad! And yay for your August baby!
@starlitsky: a light positive is still a positive!
@Purpledaisy: YAY for your
!!!
-
@photojane: my baby girl is the result of O-4!!
-
Oh gosh, guess I'm going to bite the bullet and say we are TTC.
TTC Cycle #: calling this #2 for #2 (had a miscarriage in Aug after NTNP)
Ovulation and POAS dates: not 100%, but I think I will ovulate this weekend, and POAS around our 7th anniversary - 10/18
Baby #: #2 - DS is 15 months
Your plan this month: at this point we are just shooting to DTD 2-3x a week, although I do have OPKs on hand
For Fun: What are you being for Halloween? I don't know! DS will be a monkey, so I'm trying to convince DH that we should buy banana costumes
-
@runnerd: so excited you're joining us!
-
@starlitsky: exciting that you're getting two lines showing!!
@photojane: I am with you on the symptom spotting train! I'm only 5dpo but feeling super average, and also emotional which isn't helping matters! This is shaping up to be a very long few days ahead!
good luck to you though!
-
@runnerd: I've also just joined - first cycle ttc post MC in July - so welcome to you! I like how you will be testing on your anniversary date! It's our 7th anniversary (dating) this month too
-
Good luck ladies!!
-
@Nutella: I THINK I'm 7dpo today, and my boobs have been insane the past 2-3 days. I can barely pick up Sadie (my LO) because they are so sensitive/tender. That has to mean something right?!
