Hellobee Boards

@MommySLP: I'd skip for Disney (OK, I'd tell myself I'd skip but inevitably still be hopeful) I had an IUD before my daughter and I'd say the 4th cycle was pretty much back to normal, 5th cycle she was conceived.

@Tionn3: From my own unofficial observations it seems like my friends either get pregnant in the first month or two of trying or it's an ordeal - it takes a long time or there are lots of chemicals and miscarriages or both. And it seems different for each attempt most of the time, like one friend conceived her first two the first try each and they tried for a 3rd for years and had multiple losses. It's so tricky and so hard. I'm really grateful to have friends who talk about it openly, at least among friends, because it really helps normalize this frustrating process. Most people have been there unfortunately. It sucks, I hope your journey leads quickly to a baby .

@winniebee: Oh man Parenting! So much for rest and relaxation...

@tequiero21: Oh my word, how did you survive? Any marriage advice for how to keep the peace?

I haven't been here in quite a while, but we have decided to go for #3! Excited to be back.

Cycle Day: ?
TTC Cycle: 1 - Got my IUD out on Sept 27th and had my period on Sept 29th
Ovulation Date: Oct 8th
POAS Date: Oct 22nd
Baby #: 3
What's up this month: Like I said, just got my IUD out and my period returned immediately. I'm 35yo now, so if I do get pregnant I will be "advanced maternal age", yuck.
For Fun: What are you (or your LO) dressing up as this year for halloween? My 5yo daughter will be Rey from Star Wars, and since 2yo daughter doesn't care at this point, she's going to be Yoda.

Good luck to everyone still in the TWW, and congrats to all the BFP so far!!!

AF arrived this morning, so I'm officially out. Good luck to all those who still have a chance!!

@Tubbs: that sounds frustrating! I hope it straightens itself out soon for you!

@combatlibby: those tests are blazing positive. Good luck!

@Banana330: thanks for checking! Got a bfn on Sat am. Given our awful timing this month I will probably not test again and just wait on AF. At least that's what I'm telling myself for now!

@Banana330: yeah I'm out. AF arrived in full force on Oct 15th. =[ moving on to cycle 7...

I am pretty sure I O'd yesterday, even tho fertility friend predicted today. I felt the sharp twinge in my left side. Had a + OPK for the last two days, and then the peak + today. So officially 1 DPO in my first TWW. Ahhhh!!!!

@winniebee: I'm either 3 or 4 days dpo. Time is dragging!

@Mrs. Blush: exciting!

@Mrs. Blush: @Petitduck: @winniebee: Fingers crossed for a tww that zips by and ends with BFPs!

@combatlibby: Those look pretty convincing to me! Have you tried a different brand or googling your batch of wondfos? Assuming it's not a bad batch I'd say your definitely pregnant!

@banana330: I've been trying to find out what an anovulatory cycle means. If anyone else has skipped a period recently - do you just keep counting cycle days until your next period? Wait it out or try to use OPKs to find ovulation? I've not skipped a period since I was stressed in university which was more than 10years ago! It didn't bother me then at all but now it's frustrating as just want to start a new cycle. Sorry to ask lots of questions! Hope those tww zip by definitely!

@Tubbs: I would keep counting and probably do cheapie opks. I'm also nutty enough that I'd call my doctor's office and ask whenever they would suggest I come in so I had a mental cutoff date because limbo makes me crazy.

Thanks for being patient with me guys. I've been trying hpt since October 5th - have taken more than 10 and thought I'd use up my last cheapie hpt this morning even though I started using OPKs again yesterday. Is this worth getting excited about? I'm on cd46 and every hpt has been stark white until now!

@Tubbs: stalking! Totally worth getting exciting about! Can't wait to see the CB results.

@Tubbs: yay! Go get that digi!

@Tubbs: yay! Congrats!
