Hellobee Boards

Here's to a magical December!

Cycle Day: 14
TTC Cycle #: I think 39? 3 years. So ridiculous.
Ovulation and POAS dates: Still waiting for a + opk. I'm guessing I'll POAS around 12/17.
POAS: 12/17
Baby #: 1
Your plan: This is our 2nd round of clomid, 5-9. I also ordered preseed, so we'll give that a go this cycle. If we get KU this cycle, our due date would be a few days after our 5th wedding anniversary. That would be a fabulous anniversary present

Joining for the first time

CD: 18

TTC #: hmm not sure when to count it. Have been ttc since January but have had two losses.

Ovulation date: 11/28 or 11/29 (was traveling so didn't pay as close attention)

POAS: going to try to hold out until 12/12

Baby #: 2

Your Plan: not much.. I had an early loss last cycle. I'm taking a break from vitex this cycle, but I just started b complex vitamins. We will see! Best of luck to you ladies.

@AmeliaBedilia: Good luck today for your beta! Thinking of you!

@sslm: Thanks! It's cooking. Feeling a little more calm on this one. I think I've resigned myself to IVF.

@doxielove: it's weird I feel no stress because I've given up hope for this month. So I feel pretty good- although it does stink when unexpected travel messes things up!
@ameliabedilia good luck today! Glad you are in a good mindset.

Cross post:
Beta 4, progesterone 2.73. Beta is probably the ovidrel. They want me to come for redraw tomorrow and I asked why, and they're getting back to me. On to IVF.

@Zbug: welcome lady. I'm sorry to see you here but this is a great group of awesome women! I hope your stay is short!!

@AmeliaBedilia: I hope you're wrong too. Good luck at next beta!

Great news for me today. My beta is finally <5! Wahoo. Non pregnant levels. It took 7.5 weeks but hopefully this means I can get back on track. I really hope I get AF soon so I have a chance to POAS this month.

Best wishes this month to you all. We lost Ava on December 19th last year so the next few weeks will be tough but I'm looking forward to Christmas with DD.

@delight: thanks So glad to hear that your levels are finally down!

@Crystal: been thinking of you.

@LibbyLou: thank you. We're doing ok.

@AmeliaBedilia: thank you, hugs to you. Please don't lose hope, I know you are meant to be a mom.

@Crystal: wow I didn't even know that you and DH had gone through that this week. I had heard about the shooting but didn't see the threads or know that anyone here was affected directly. I'm so glad you're ok. Totally understandable that this month will be a write off. I can't imagine how scared you must have been.

@AmeliaBedilia: I'm so sorry. I wish you all the best with IVF.

@LoveHope: thank you. Were really doing quite well, and are very lucky.

@delight: thank you. Im just so glad dh is ok- he's far closer to the situation than I am. Things seem to be settling down, but nothing is back to normal.

@doxielove: thank you.

I hope it's ok if I join here... We're going into cycle 7 of trying and I'm just feeling pretty down and think this would be some good support!

Cycle Day: 4
TTC Cycle #: 7
Ovulation and POAS dates: Not sure, usually between cd 12 and 16 so I'll just POAS 12/30 (or update this once I have a confirmed O date)
Baby #: 2 (first was a happy surprise, so it's weird that it's been such a struggle for this one. it's really getting to me.)
Your plan: Well, our plan was always just to TTC through the end of the year, and if nothing happens, we will wait until July to try again. So since we are at our last chance for a while, we're doing everything possible. Charting BBT and CM, CB digital OPK, wondfo OPK, pre-seed, maybe softcups, supplements, and am following some of the tips for my fertility type from the book Making Babies. I just really hope this is it.

@delight: Thank you for the welcome! And yay for CD1! So exciting. I've had a few cycles while TTC that were insanely long as well and it's just SO FRUSTRATING so what a relief to see AF.

@doxielove: Aww it's ok, I don't mind having to join you all! It's actually kind of encouraging in a way... I feel like on other threads it can be hard because it's like "oooohhh our first cycle trying and I don't even know how to chart but look at my BFP!" which is exciting for them but a little heartbreaking for me. Hope this month is it for you too

@mrsjd: ugh. I'm sorry. It sucks when it seems so effortless to others.

Same thing happened to my bil. Knocked up a fling-gave IL first grandchild while we were trying for 8mos+. Now at just shy of 2 years like yourself. So I totally get you.

@mrsjd: I'm so sorry, I've been there! I just found out that SIL is having her 3rd child. Without totally dogging out their situation, let's just say they don't need the added stress this will certainly cause their marriage. Back in the summer of 2013 when I found out she was KU w/ #2, I cried (privately). When I found out about #3 a few weeks ago, of course there was a pang of envy, but I handled it so much better. It's amazing what 3 years of disappointment will do to you I'm definitely a lot stronger mentally as far as others' baby annoucements. Thinking of you!

@doxielove: @LibbyLou: Thank you both for commiserating with me. It gets easier every time it happens. I wouldn't trade having a great, stable relationship like I do for having a kid in an unstable relationship like they're about to. I'm really focusing on counting my blessings and choosing happiness these days.

@doxielove: That is wonderful news about the interview! Good luck. You are smart to keep going with your life. I'm trying to do the same - can't put everything on hold. And the way I figure it, making sure I'm satisfied and secure in my career will just make me a better mother down the road. Keep us updated! Also, I know you're on Clomid too, so hang in there. I'm starting cycle #2 right now and hoping for the best.
