Ovulation Date:Nov 29th (give or take a few days)
POAS Date:Dec 13th (I have a long cycle; 40 days)
Baby# 2
Whats up this month: This is my first month after MC of TTC again. I miscarried back in Sept and never received a period in Oct. This month I decided to not use my ovulation kits and predictors and just have fun, do the deed every other day and go with the flow and see what happens!! I am feeling really good this month.
For Fun: My favorite winter activity is probably going out and cutting down our Christmas tree. Its been a family tradition since I was born and I now do it with my family. I live in NE and winter is horrible here so the only joyful times for me during these rough winter months are the holidays.

TTC Cycle: Loosley NTNP for a few cycles, so I don't know how exactly to count it. 6?
Ovulation Date: Around Thanksgiving! With in-laws. Yay.
POAS Date: 12/8
Baby #: 2!
What's up this month: I am finally ready. DD is 18 months, and baby fever has hit. I'm comfortable with whatever gap we get from here on out. I'm switching from my beloved BCBS federal to a more fertility and maternity friendly plan. So, I've been trying to research Infertility costs and options should we get to that point.
For Fun: What's your favourite winter activity?
Just spending time with family, and the anticipation of the holiday season!

POAS Date: 12 days after I O
Baby #: 1
What's up this month: saw a RE for the first time yesterday. Had 12 vials of blood taken for tests and now I am trying to schedule an HSG and a SA for my husband. Doctor decided to up my metformin, and maybe my synthroid and recommended adding vitamin D and CoQ10. If my cycle cooperates I will also be doing a clomid challenge test.
For Fun: What's your favourite winter activity? drinking hot chocolate and reading a good book curled up under blankets with fuzzy socks

What's up this month: This is our first try for baby #2. It took 10 months and an early m/c before getting my ds, now 15 months. Also, I'm turning 35 next month. So, no idea what to expect, how long it might take. Slightly scared to go through the newborn thing again too, but I know we definitely want one more. Jumping in!
For Fun: What's your favourite winter activity? Staying warm....lived my whole life in the NE, I hate the winter

@snarkybiochemist: I'm glad you liked the RE. I got pregnant with -#1 72 hours after the HSG. My RE said sometimes it acts as a fertility boost for up to 3 cycles. Obviously, it's not guaranteed, but I hope it is helpful for you too.

What's up this month: Thanksgiving is this month, so that should be exciting, I can't wait to eat some turkey! Also looking forward to the time off. DH and I are going to BD every other day...no exceptions.
For Fun: What's your favourite winter activity? I really like snowboarding, but I also like just getting warm and cozy and watching movies in bed with hot chocolate! I wish we got snow where we live but we don't =[

@Spinny: DD is 15 months, and it took us 3 cycles to conceive her. I am also turning 35 next summer, so having kids 24 months apart minimum is fine. We shall see how it goes this time around!

@dc yoga bee: wow that is great. I'll keep my fingers crossed, thanksgiving travel might interfere with O, but I really have no idea. It's been a different day each cycle.

Probably not the entirely right place to post this but I'm not sure where else, my sister is having her baby at 36+2 and I am having emotions about, aside from the fact that she is slightly preterm its a baby and I'm not pregnant. We started trying at roughly the same time. As she is in labor I'm scheduling testing with my RE. Its hard and I can't really show those emotions to my family, however I am hoping his new baby awesomeness gives me good baby juju.

@snarkybiochemist: Oh that's tough. It's hard watching other people go through milestones you thought you'd be hitting at the same time.

@periwinklebee: @Banana330: Thanks guys, I knew I would get people who understood my emotions on hear. I'm glad I posted

@snarkybiochemist: My SIL gave birth to her baby literally the day I got my period after we had been trying for a couple of months. We had originally wanted to start trying before / around when they got pregnant (they weren't even trying it was an accident) but my DH chickened out. I definitely had emotions, and I cried at the Bris and it was super embarrassing. I couldn't talk to anybody about it, and it really sucked. I'm still dealing with those emotions. It was so hard / still is hard sometimes. It is also hard to hear my in laws talk non stop about my nephew, and ignore us when we all have dinner together. It is even harder because we are struggling to get pregnant, and it always seems like no one really gives a shit. The compromise to deal with it, was that my DH and I take family dinners off every other week so we can just have time to ourselves. It has been working so far, but it is still hard. I definitely know how you feel.

@Tionn3: Thankfully I don't get together with my whole family quite that often, but with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming I will be seeing them several times. As long as I can get through everything without crying in front of family I will be fine. I can have my emotions at home with my husband. I am loving the irony of calling for testing with the RE on the day my sister had her baby. It will happen we will build our families and the next baby in the family will be mine.

I think I'm going to ovulate early again this month. I'm having crazy EWCM just like the last 2 months. I didn't even go to acupuncture this cycle, so maybe it is just the way things are now? I'm a little worried about ovulating so early.
pear / 1788 posts
@snarkybiochemist: hugs.
@Tionn3: I ovulated early last month (CD 12) and had an 11 day LP. That never happens to me, so fingers crossed for a good cycle this month! For both of us!
kiwi / 680 posts
@Banana330: like CD 12 / CD 13. All of my previous cycles were like CD 14 - CD16. Maybe it is the Omega 3 supplement I've been taking? I've heard that fish oil is supposed to promote ovulation. It would certainly explain the extra fertile CM I've been having.

@Tionn3: I'm worried I might have O'd early now too!
My temps went up this morning (but we both woke up warm so maybe that's why) and it freaked me out a little because I had acupuncture last night and wondered if it could have made me O early. I haven't had a positive OPK yet so I'll keep testing those today and maybe it's just a weird temp but since our BD got interrupted yesterday I was a bit disappointed that we hadn't had very good timing if I did O yesterday. We managed to sneak one in this morning and hopefully i'm going to O tomorrow or sunday like I thought... ARGH TTC can be sooo frustrating!

so scheduling a SA is really fun around thanksgiving when you have to have had sex no less then 2 days before and no more then 4 days before

Cycle Day: 13
TTC Cycle: well none really... we aren't trying
Ovulation Date: 11/13
POAS Date: possibly as early as 11/27, but who knows!
Baby #: 4
What's up this month: It's a mess. I'm like 95% sure I ovulated suuuuuper early (like CD8/9) based on my usual symptoms I get with ovulation, complete with cramping and spotting. DH and I weren't being careful bc we are usually in the clear at that time, and also because we were going to NTNP, and then DH chickened out. So if I did in fact O when I think we did, there's a good chance we caught the egg. If not, we should be in the clear. I would be excited to be pregnant though! I'm so ready for another babe in the house!
For Fun: What's your favourite winter activity? All the standard cheesy Christmas stuff, like wearing leggings and sweaters and reading a book by the fire and enjoying a glass of wine with a fluffy blanket!

@dc yoga bee: Just saw a RE so its a bit in flux but my metformin has been upped to 1500mg, adding extra vitamin D on top of my prenatal, and CoQ10. Depending on scheduling I might have an HSG and a possible Clomid Challenge Test.
grapefruit / 4770 posts
@snarkybiochemist: man i'm supposed to be on 1500mg metformin, but have been on 500mg for 3 weeks. When I upped it to 1000, I got SO sick.
nectarine / 2180 posts
@dc yoga bee: I have been on 1000mg since July per my ob/gyn and haven't had too many symptoms. The RE prescribed extended release for the 1500mg dose and told me to wait until after Thanksgiving to up the dose. She said the extended release form should help with symptoms if I were to get them on the higher dose.
grapefruit / 4770 posts
@snarkybiochemist: I'm going to a new midwife group at the end of the year, and will ask her to change the prescription to extended release. I also will ask her about clomid for weak ovulation.
