    Just wanted to update that I'm rolling over into April. No surprise there since we're NTNP. It has been so liberating taking a break from TTC madness that we've agreed to NTNP for a few more months!

    @LindsayInNY: I'm skimming, but it looks like your hsg went well? What about the SA? Sorry if I missed the update!

    I've decided to POAS on March 31st if I don't get AF before that. No clomid this cycle, so hopefully I still O. 3/31 will be CD 33 and I'm off work that day. I thought I'd test on Liam's birthday, which is 3/30, but I don't want to deal with a BFN the morning of his party. This way I'll have the day off and be able to either celebrate or cry at home, lol.

    Good luck to everyone!

    @mrs. tictactoe: good luck! Keep us posted!

    @doxielove: I;m so glad the NTNP is helping ease the stress! I really hope you get your BFP soon!

    @littlek: OMG that made me laugh out loud. Denial is my favorite tool right now, lol.

    @sarahnicole218: Fingers crossed for you this cycle!

    @doxielove: NTNP is really a nice approach to take. Do you still plan to BD a bunch, but just not use OPKs and temping and what not?

    @Crystal: What CD are you at?

    @MrsMcD: I tested this morning and got BFN, womp womp. I am going to try again Wednesday.

    How are you? What CD are you?

    I'm 3DPO (per opks) and CD 16. . I didn't temp this month so who really knows, I guess.

    @AmeliaBedilia: that is such a good sign! I would say that if you had a fever your temp would shoot up really high so hopefully this is progesterone.

    @Crystal: Sorry to hear about all the BFNs, they really are depressing...

    @sarahnicole: good to see you are back in the game!

    @MrsMcD: Now we need to find a clip to get our ovaries and uteruses (uteri?) all psyched up. I want the opportunity to shout that I HAVE MAGIC LADYBITS! LOL!

    @Sprite: I googled "magic ovaries" but couldn't find anything.

    ETA: Remind me to clear my browser history.

    @doxielove: Yeah, HSG was supposedly normal (per the doctor/radiologist? who did it). DH had his SA on Saturday so waiting to hear how that goes!

    @Crystal: HAHAHA! I should remember that for next time

    @MrsMcD: browser histories while TTC are quite amusing to look back on. "Magic ovaries" has got to be one of the more tame/less embarrassing searches!

    @Sprite: You are sooooo true. Oh my gosh... I google the most embarrassing things.

    rollovers: doxielove

    Thursday looks like an exciting day!

    @MrsMcD: For me, NTNP looks like this: Only BD when we REALLY feel like it (not because "it's time"), not temping at all, and not going out of my way to use OPK's. This past cycle I only did 1 OPK and it happened to be positive, and I only tested because I had a ton of EWCM (just to check the situation out - I was curious!)

    @MrsMcD: PS, I hope DH never looks at my browser history on my phone - he'd be horrified of all the TMI TTC things I google!

    @Sprite: Thanks for doing this! I like to have it on nearly every page because its so hard to keep up with everyone.

    Thursday is an exciting day!!!!!!!

    @doxielove: I tried temping last month and this month and it was just a disaster all around. I really like just BDing when you feel like it. OPKs are simple to me. Its awesome you just needed one this cycle!

    And seriously... I delete the search history off of the ipad at home. Just because its embarrassing how much I obsess over all things TTC. And I think DH would think I'm off my rocker if he finds me researching strollers and such.

    Dh was getting upset because everytime he came near me on my ipad I closed the screen down. He thought I was hiding something. Had to explain about my embarrassing obsessive googling. The worst bit is, he didn't even seem that surprised...

    I'll have another POAS chance in March. March 28. I guess that's one good things about short cycles and long months.

    Scheduling appt with RE for last set of tests on cd3. Starting to think I have LP issue.

    @littlek: At least you can finish up your last few tests. Hopefully they have some answers for you soon. Do you have any idea what the next steps are likely going to be for you? My doc wants to start clomid but part of me is wondering whether more testing is necessary

  36. littlek

    @sandy: clomid was mentioned by my RE too.

    @littlek: Sorry you are out this month. Short cycles are a blessing but can also be a curse. I always appreciate when AF shows up early, though, so I don't expend any more unnecessary hopefulness. I'm glad you are talking to your doctor and getting some stuff done in that regard.

    @MrsMcD: can't say I'm shocked. HSG was near my ovulation date and we did not get much BD in. On to cycle 8.... Le sigh

    @MrsMcD: so funny, I was talking to DH and I asked him if we had IVF, how many embryos in if we had a choice. He said "all of them."' I told him I was not going to be an octomom.
