@travellingbee: My heart is breaking for you. I hope the IUIs are successful! Hugs.

Well, I'm going to be poas sometime in November but I don't know when. We met with the RE today even though it's only been like 7 months b/c DH's SA was so abnormal. It was really just an initial talking/consult.

Well, we both really like the RE. He is super nice and knowledgeable. I also told him about my late ovulation and super short luteal phase. He said knowing that, we DEFINITELY did the right thing to come in and he does not think we will get pg on our own. He does think we should be able to get pg with some minor interventions.

He says I will probably need Clomid + trigger shot to induce earlier ovulation, and we may want to go to IUI bc of DH's SA issues (he had one very bad SA, one kind of borderline).

Today was CD 11. They did a u/s in the office and I have 1 follicle. I am going back for follow up u/s on Mon and Wed. to see if the follicle is getting bigger. If it is, they are going to give me a hCG trigger shot on Wednesday and tell us to BD the next few days, and see what happens naturally.

If I'm not pregnant, next cycle will be Clomid + trigger + u/s monitoring. And if that doesn't work, then IUI.

The RE gave us the choice of whether to try "naturally" (w/Clomid + trigger) or move straight to IUI b/c of DH's SA issues. He says it's really borderline. We have to pay for it all so I think we will try a few cycles naturally.

I'm feeling so stressed/nervous/overwhelmed since the appointment. I'm scared about fertility meds and the trigger - hormones (even BC) usually makes me super sick (like throwing up) and I'm so scared I'm going to be so sick next wk after the trigger and I have to travel and... ahhh.

Hi all cd17 here, I got a solid smiley on cb advanced this am but cbfm still has me at high/2 bars and wondfos are faint still. (Eta I swear I'm not a poasholic, Anya: was kind enough to send me opks and I figured I should use them!!) I usually O cd18 so we'll see. It's just a weird cycle for me. Just to be safe I'm not going to test until late after my cp day from cycle2. I can't deal with the anxiety of knowing early.

So that puts my poas date at 11/18. Ds due date in 2012! We scheduled a last min wknd trip to nyc so I'm looking forward to that and hoping I can breeze through the tww.

Good luck to everyone!

@nicole112: oh my goodness!!!! Yay!!!!!

@raspberries: Hope it's not too late to be a cheerleader!
@nicole112: Congratulations!!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
@travellingbee: I am so sorry. Sounds like you have a great plan.
@Ashleyf21: Wishing you tons and tons of best wishes this cycle, missy!

@nicole112: I see it! Congratulations!!!!

Well, I don't know what's going on with my cycle anymore! I had a positive opk on Mon and FF confirmed O that day. We had good timing so I've been pretty hopeful. Then yesterday I noticed EWCM, even more than at the beginning of the week. When I noticed it again today, I took an OPK again and it showed another smiley! @MissLace: weird how it happened with both of us! I have no idea what this means but we'll BD today and tomorrow just in case! I just hope we didn't miss it somehow and it worries me that I seemingly can't rely on the digtal opk's either!

@nicole112: omg!!! I so see it!!!

I'm joining!

Cycle Day: 22
TTC Cycle #: 1 - last cycle was first month off BCP and we weren't really trying and completely missed fertile window. So now this our first cycle actually trying.
Ovulation and POAS dates: Ovulated on 10/29? I'm not temping but my positive OPK was morning of 10/28 and I had cramping the next day. I plan on POAS on 11/8
Baby #: 2
Your plan this month: We just used OPKs and tried to BD every other day around fertile window. If my O date is correct, we BD on O-1, O-3, and O-4, so not sure if it was enough to catch the egg this cycle, but we'll see!
Chart link: No chart. I don't temp - I work part time night shift so my sleep is all over the place.

GL ladies!

@nicole112: congrats!! Totally a BFP!!!

@mrsvdv: right! its so bizarre.

So I'm 6dpo today and started spotting. not gonna lie, i definitely had a meltdown and started bawling my eyes out earlier. Every cycle i either start spotting on 7 or 9dpo and convince myself its implantation bleeding and its always my period because of a super short LP. but i O'd 5 days earlier so i was REALLY hoping for at least a 10 day LP, but this is just ridiculous if it got even shorter. please please please send prayers/good vibes that this could actually be implantation this time. fingers crossed!

@simplyfelicity that's a great sign! The more bold the line the better! I can't even imagine the happiness you are feeling, and u deserve it! Hopefully I can join you soon thanks for cheering me on!

@nicole112: Yay, congrats!

Well, I started spotting. Even though I feel like AF is about to drop I have a little hope. The spotting looked a little different than my normal pre-AF spotting. If it is AF, I had a 9 day LP this month, which is just depressing.

@angelachase: congrats!! I like to lurk on this board and have been rooting for you!
@nicole112: November is off to a great start! Congrats to you too!
