Hellobee Boards

@LindsayInNYC: Success!

Current Cycle Day: CD8
Hello ladies:) I've decided to join:) I usually try and wait to POAS until I've been late but since starting fertility treatments the temptation to test early is just too much. Now at least if I get a BFN I will have people who can feel my pain.
Ovulation Date: April 23
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: May 6/cd 28
Cycles trying: I think this is cycle 14 or 15
BD timing: every day after + opk for a week per doctors orders
Anything different his month: 50 mg clomid
And because it is May, favorite flower: Peonies

@chibee: boo for cycle day 1, FX this is it for you

Hi!
We are trying for our second, my first is 20 months and I'm advanced maternal age (ug!) so we've been sort of trying for about 4 cycles. With my son we got married in August 2011 and then thought about a baby and poof it happened. And that doesn't seem to be happening this time.. so can I join to benefit from your expertise and well wishes?

I admit, I had to look up some of the abbreviations but I think I get it now.

Current cycle day: 9
Ovulation date: I think around April 29th or so (maybe)
POAS date: May 14th
Cycles trying: 2
BD timing: I have lofty goals and then we work outside the home FT and then have a 20 month year old and a dog.. so we are tired! But we will aim for April 27,28,30,31 at least (yes it is in my outlook calendar as BD- sad)
Anything different? Joining the boards and getting excited and maybe more BDing if we don't fall asleep

Favorite flower: any wild flowers and tulips are so pretty

Good luck everyone!

@savanarunner: welcome! Glad you're here There are a few of us on here who are back to trying post m/c, so you're in good company...and everyone is great about supporting each other. Hope your stay is short and sweet!

@RLCeigh: welcome to you too! You are one ambitious mama...Fingers crossed that it brings good things

@savanarunner: Glad to see you back on the boards! Just wanted to tell you that MrsCastro and I both suffered miscarriages last year and then went months without getting pregnant. I started seeing my chiropractor and she started getting acupuncture and we both got our bfps. Just a thought for ya. I really think miscarriages mess up our bodies and that a little manipulation makes a big difference. Hope you get your rainbow baby soon. *hugs*

@T.H.O.U.: with as hard as it was to go through a miscarriage, I feel like God put me through it to help other women who have to experience the awfulness of a m/c. And now He blessed me with a growing rainbow baby and I can only hope to help others who are struggling to get pregnant again. and thank you!

@savanarunner: I saw him for a month and the next month he scheduled my adjustments around my cycle. So I met with him the day after my period was over and 2 weeks later (around O). And I haven't seen him since. He had me taking b-complex to help my lp lengthen but otherwise he said dh is my sex slave for 5 days. Hahahah! And voila! P.S. There is hope. Don't doubt your body. It's an amazing thing! *hugs* pm me if you wanna talk.

Count me in. But after a chemical pregnancy last week who knows if ill ovulate normally... May 18 please.

Good luck ladies!

@IcebergMom: so sorry for your loss. Hope you're back to normal quickly. Good luck!

@IcebergMom: welcome! I'm sorry for your loss. There's lots of us in the post m/c boat this month. I'm in a similar boat to you -I had an early one at 4 weeks. Hoping for good news for you this month!!

Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone lots of baby dust! My cycles are still a bit wonky, so I might not be POAS until June, but our first month of TTC is May.

Baby dust to all!

@Sprite: Good luck to you!!

(And can I ask, is your avatar from Rainbow Brite? If so, you just made my day)

@pui: Thanks! Good luck to you too!

@LovelyPlum: Yep, my avatar is Twink, Rainbow Brite's favorite Sprite. I was obsessed with Rainbow Brite as a kid, I even had my whole bedroom decorated with clouds and rainbows!

Also, I had a freak out at the end of last year about our TTC plans. Originally we were going to start in April, and I had a few weeks there of extreme nerves, just paralyzed at the thought of TTC in just a few short months, if I'd ever be ready to be a parent, etc. So we pushed back our timeline to help ease my fears a little. DH has had baby fever for a while now, but both of us had to be on board. Of course, after we pushed back our timeline, come March I was ready to get started, and now I've been tapping my foot impatiently, waiting for our new timeline to start! If we hadn't planned a big vacation in May, I would have wanted to go back to our earlier timeline.

All of that is to say, nerves are completely normal. It's scary! And you can always take some time off from TTC if it might help. But even once you get pregnant and have a baby, I don't think the fear will ever go away. I'm choosing, now that some time has passed since my freak out and I have some more perspective, to think of it as a big adventure instead. Adventures can often be scary, but usually they also end up being amazingly worthwhile and fulfilling and fun.

This is my very first post! I hope it's not too late to join in.

Current Cycle Day: CD20
Ovulation Date: May 2nd-ish (the last cycle I had pos OPK around CD25-26)
POAS date/Usual Cycle Length: I am thinking May 15th. This would be CD39 for me. My cycles have evened out to about 38-40 days for the last 5 months. I wish they were shorter. I hope this doesn't indicate something wrong with me. I'm a worrier though.
Cycles trying: Off BC since Oct 2012. This is our 2nd cycle actively trying.
BD timing: at least EOD during fertile window. Sometimes more. And of course a few other random days during the surrounding weeks.
Anything different his month: Trying to relax as much as I can. I put SO much pressure on myself the first month ttc. I was hoping to be a one hit wonder like some couples I've read about. I learned a lot last month.
And because it is May, favorite flower: Peonies, of course!

Good luck to everyone!!

@Sprite: love that! Thanks for flashback Friday And you're right also about not freaking out being a choice. It's a scary thing. I never had a full-on freak-out, but last month made me skittish. Still, I'm pretty excited for the chance to be a mom

@mrs. 64: Amen to that. A baby makes me nervous, but not as much as getting pregnant...funny, huh?

@pinkpeony921: Welcome! I love pink peonies too! I carried white ones on my wedding day!

@Mrs. 64: They are so beautiful. I got married in September, so they weren't in season I did light pink Garden Roses in place of peonies and still loved it!

Thinking of you!! FX as well.

@LovelyPlum: @pinkpeony921: I have also had thoughts of omg, I don't know if I'm ready to be a parent, but I don't know if anyone ever really feels ready and fully prepared! At least that is what I hear!

@mrs. 64: oh I hope she is wrong and you can conceive without any procedures first (like this month!!)! I had a friend with fibroids who had to have them removed and she conceived quickly and easily once they could try again! So either way could be ok!

Well, we BD this morning. So now it's up to the baby gods. Let the TWW begin!

DH was in a much better mood and knew I was going to a baby shower today and said "I want you to go knowing we did our best this month". Made me feel better about everything, even if the timing wasn't the best!
