TTC Cycle: 10th cycle/11th month
Ovulation Day: Probably 12/14
POAS: 12/28
Trying anything new this cycle: I will have a boatload of bloodwork this Wednesday and an HSG the following week. Not sure if our first IUI will be this cycle or the next; will depend on the results of all those tests. -
TTC Cycle: 1st!
Ovulation Day: I think 11/30??
POAS: 12/14ish
Trying anything new this cycle: actually trying, so lots of BDing! -
Count me in for 12/25!!!
-
TTC cycle: number 4!
O date: somewhere between the. 27 & 29th?
POAS: let's go with the 11th of December.
We were supposed to be NTNP this month so I could try and not be so obsessed.. That didn't work! Haha we are trying to BD every second day until I get a positive OPK & then will BD like crazy
-
I'm glad to be back in action on the TTC boards finally.
TTC Cycle: 1st post m/c in September
Ovulation Day: Nov 19-21?
POAS: 12/5
Trying anything new this cycle: Nothing new. My first period post m/c was short so I'm not terribly hopeful for this cycle but we'll see... All we want for Christmas is a BFP
-
@colee: You're such a fighter!! Go you!
TTC Cycle: I wanna say 10, but started losing count after 7... Too much disappointment
Ovulation Day: Supposedly sometime last week?
POAS: 12/3 (AF is due on 12/6)
Trying anything new this cycle: Trying not to overthink/stress about baby making since this is taking much longer than I expected and the dr said stressing releases a chemical into our bodies that signals it isn't a good environment for a baby. Still in the back of my mind of course, but I tried to be chill about it. -
TTC Cycle: #3
Ovulation Day; Dec. 6-10, not sure of actual day.
POAS: December 25...If we got pregnant, it truly would be an amazing Christmas gift!Trying anything new this cycle: I'm trying to chart regularly this cycle. I'm also trying to not stress out about every little symptom.
-
I got my sticky BFP on December 1st of last year, and just wanted to pop in and wish everyone good luck!
-
Brand new here...not 100% TTC yet but definitely NTNT and throwing caution to the wind this cycle...
TTC Cycle: 1st cycle
Ovulation Day: FF says Dec 6 however this is only my second cycle off BC so who knows how normal it will be.
POAS: December 21For all you other first timers out there - is this scary or what? I knew I'd never feel totally ready but still its a little scary.
DH and I talked this weekend b/c I wanted to let him know that with the wacky-ness of my cycle this time (1st off BC) I was worried about my ability to know which days we should "be careful" and his response was "oh well - we were going to start in January anyways so whats one month early"...and here we are. Seems crazy but exciting crazy.
-
TTC Cycle: 18th cycle
Ovulation Day: 11/26 (IUI 11/27)
POAS: 12/11
Trying anything new this cycle: nopes...but have to say i had a horrid thanksgiving travelling experience this year because of undisciplined children on my flights (not like babies/infants crying from discomfort, but children who were old enough to fight with their parents and scream no no no and i want this or i want that at the top of their lungs for an entire flight in the seat in front of me and their parents not being able to stop the screaming) and for the first time in the 2 years we've been TTC, i kind of stopped wanting to have kids. lol. -

please let me know if i forgot to add you to the list...
-
@MrsCastro: Please put me in for 12/28!
It's my 2nd cycle TTC and I am starting 100mg of Clomid today mid cycle since I wasn't responding to the 50mg. I would have known that last month if Sandy hadn't closed my fertility center!
So this cycle I'm on a higher clomid dosage and plan to do an IUI. I might also do accupuncture if at all possible..
-
It's my first month temping, and I was really worried that I wasn't o-ing. I'm happen to report that FF is showing an o date of last Friday. It looks like I'm Oing a day or two later than I thought. I get really sharp pains right around the time of my positive OPKs, so I just assumed that was when i was Oing. Hopefully this new info will help me get that BFP. Let the symptom spotting begin
-
@everbee: I absolutely CANNOT stand that kind of behavior and the lack of parenting!! We ran into that scenario a couple times this weekend and it was absurd! Parents were letting their kids gargle water loudly at a restaurant or randomly run around and play hide and seek ALL over the place, including using other patron's tables as a hideout spot, etc. Absolutely ridiculous.
Is it just me, or is there quite a few new TTC bees this month? That's awesome because that means people are getting BFP and are no longer rolling forward to the next month. Hopefully, the rest of us fall off the POAS threads this month as well!!
-
oh boy... i'm first thats some pressure
-
@futuremama: glad you figured out what was happening with you OD. maybe the business of holiday season will distract from symptom spotting
-
@MrsH happy thoughts your way. Mine was 3 days, I feel the same about this cycle.
@Chillybear Start us off strong!
-
@Alivoo01: i felt the same way when i was writing down everyones names...alot of new names mixed in with a few "older bees"...i am so ready for it to be our turn....
-
This is a pointless statement, but need to say it to vent: I had a really vivid dream last night about getting multiple positive pregnancy tests. It has kind of thrown me for a loop today. It felt so real, that I was convinced I must be preggers. Then reality hit that I haven't even entered my "fertile days" for the month lol. Ugh... Anxiety is now attacking me in my dreams too!
-
@Chillybear: no pressure...we are here to support each other through this journey...
AFM, i am ready, i am ready for this time to be our time...i am tired on the diappointmen, scratch that, sadness this year has brought...i lost my baby and with him went my dad...both gone too soon but i know they are together cheering me on and praying along with me that God may grant me the mircle of getting pregnant again (soon). I am ready to be a mom, i am ready to meet my forever baby and love him or her and become a family with my DH, that through this rollercoaster of a year has been nothing but the rock that helps me keep my marbles together...to him i owe my sanity...so future baby, know that you are already loved and your dad and i are waiting to kiss you and hold you in our arms...we cant wait to meet you, whenever that may be...
-
@MrsCastro: Amen sister! I'm definitely ready to see a sticky BFP this month!!
-
@mrscastro: agreed. i have not been at this as long as some others (entering 4th cycle) but I am already exhausted. i wanna say i care less every cycle and get used to seeing the bfn's but i honestly don't get used to it and it's heartbreaking every time. so for you, me and anyone else that carries around a broken heart with seeing a bfn month after month, i so wish this month to be ours more than anything. mentally dumping buckets of baby dust on everyone this month!
-
All right I'm going to join in again this month. I'm still sad over the chemical pregnancy last week. But I'll be on Clomid again and am hoping to O around 12/7, right in time to get a BFP for Christmas
-
@MrsCB: thinking of you and so sorry about the chemical, but glad you are joining in! You need some support this month!!!
-
@Alivoo01: I spent the weekend with BIL's girlfriend threatening to paddle her child for every.little.thing. "Do you want to eat? No! Do you want me to paddle you? No! Then, eat!"
Drove me nuts!
-
@Jennimac: i cant stand that...i know i dont have any children myself and i have always hated when parents threaten with violence...one of my brothers and his then GF raised my niece by talking to her about things and never threatening...they would explain why she would have to eat...why she couldnt touch mommy and daddys thing...everything had an explaination instead of a "no"...she is now 10y/o and just about the best behaved and most helpful little girl i have ever met...
and they were 22 and 21 when they had her...so you would think they wouldnt have the patience for a child...being kids themselves at the time..
-
@MrsCastro: I really hope you get your BFP this month. Since our miscarriage, I feel like all that I've wanted is to get pregnant again. It made me realize that all I want is to be a mama.
@runnerd: lol! too funny. I had a dream saturday night that I was pregnant. Very weird... and completely random and quick. Hopefully it's true. The week before I started miscarrying, I had a dream it was going to happen. So when it finally did, I knew right away. I'm hoping this dream is right as well.
and yours too!
-
@MrsCastro: She drives me nuts. I hate to say that, but I don't really like her. I don't like the way she is raising her daughter and I think the only reason she is hanging around BIL is because her daughter adores him and he pays for everything. She pawns off her daughter everywhere and it bugs the heck out of me.
-
@MrsCastro: I hear you... I have never wanted something so much before. I know I am more ready that ever. Baby dust to us all and let's hope December has as many presents as November did
-
Ugh...super annoying day at work...
Literally just this weekend is when DH and I were basically like "to heck with it - lets just start this month"...I go into work today and my dumb boss informs me that now I have to go to India in 2 weeks. So now my projected O date is Dec 6 - I leave for India Dec 11 and AF is due Dec 21 (also the day I return from India)...my first tww is shaping up to be extra frustrating. I tend to feel off in general and have mild stomach issues in India anyways (time change, food, etc) which will make any symptom spotting impossible.
Not to mention I usually drink a bit when I travel (especially that long of a trip) and I usually need Ambien to sleep in India. Guess I should start looking at alternative sleep options since I dont know if I feel right taking Ambien during that period. Ugh!
Sorry, rant over...I realize it is extremely unlikely I would get KU on the first try ... just wish our first month trying was a bit more normal...
-
@Mrs D--maybe this is a good thing? I would love a trip to take my mind off of things during that TWW. I love to travel, and I'm envious of you gals who get sent around the world for work. What will you be doing in India?
And you never know--while getting pregnant first go round is not common, it's not impossible!
-
@Happygal: you're right I sounded ungrateful there of my work opportunities - I was like you a year ago wishing I had a job that had me travel more. Now in one year I have been to china, Amsterdam, India and France! It is nice but I spent three weeks in India in October and it was just too much so I'm feeling very 'over it' right now! I'm an auditor for a global company - so we are usually testing controls.
It could be a nice mental escape for my tww - but I can also see myself just sitting in my hotel room over analyzing everything!
The reality is - I need to get off my pity train and just be excited to be having a tww and that DH and I are finally on the same page about trying!
-
Ok let me try this again, doing it the right way.
TC Cycle: Cycle 7
Ovulation Day: Hopefully within a week!
POAS: 12/25!!!
Trying anything new this cycle: This cycle we won't be trying anything too crazy just cause its the Holidays. But we will be having sex everyday or every other day. And making a game plan to try super hard the next month if it doesn't work again this month Good luck to everyone!!!
-
Ok guys I thought I would be out this month but I am getting some signs I might be ovulating so I might as well add myself to the list... CD1 for next month is the 9th so put me down for 12/11- 11 is my lucky #! FX I am right! YAY for everyone trying for a miracle this month too
Git 'er done in 2012! -
@ash-I had a dream that my baby was deformed the week before my m/c in October. It was scary, but we women do have intuitions.
I'm hoping to be part of the new year baby TTC club! I have an appointment with my RE next week.
-
@Mrs D: Maybe you could try Unisom while in India. I know some doctors prescribe it for nausea so it is probably fine during TWW.
-
@Mrs D: @MrsCastro: I can relate to BOTH of you women! We haven't really tried to hard to BD during O but I know that we have a hand full of times, all with BFN. A part of me still feels like Mrs D. It's like a new adventure sense we are on take two of TTC. It's exciting, and scary at the same time.
On the other hand I start my 10th cycle post BC around 12/6, this has been a long and depressing year. Actually the last 4 years have been a major struggle, nothing has ever come easy for DH & I. There is ALWAYS something major going on. I was really hoping that a BFP would be the one thing that we might be able to achieve easily.
Now that I have THAT out of my system I'm going to QT (dh tells me to QT-quit tripping) I plan on going in for a message & pedicure the week of ovulation to help wind down a little. It couldn't hurt
-
@Mrs D--I understand, and do not think you are being whiny at all! I traveled while in grad school and my last job, but never overseas. Obscure towns all by myself, eating meals all by myself. I went once with my new boss to a big fun city, and thought we would enjoy things together. Nope! She retreated to her hotel room every night around 5, and that was it.
I guess what I really want is to have someone fly me around the world just for fun. How can I make that happen?!
@Sugar.Biscuit--a massage and pedicure sound like a great idea. To this day, I've never had a professional massage. I don't know what I'm waiting for. What kind do you normally get?
-
@TheReelDeal: definitely true... I hope you get some answers at the re. Let us know how it goes!! and good luck!
