Cycle Day: CD19, 2DPO (just need one more high temp to confirm!)
TTC Cycle #: 4
Ovulation and POAS dates: August 25 for O, POAS September 9 if my period doesn't come before that (expected September 5/6).
Last month we had a chemical pregnancy so I'm reluctant to test early, and we'll be out of town between the 3rd and 8th so it's a good way to avoid the obsession, I hope. But I might sneak a test at 9DPO on September 3 before we leave.
Baby #: 2, we have a 22-month-old daughter
Your plan this month: I used OPKs for the first time, which was interesting. We've been struggling with timing and pressure. If this cycle doesn't work we'll be moving toward the egg meets sperm plan/not worrying about the specific fertile time but aiming to have more frequent sex, more often.
For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? I just love the colder air, changing leaves (though we don't get it that much here), and the back-to-school feeling. Our anniversary is September 22, too -- and if this cycle doesn't work out that's when I should be fertile next time, which could be fun. -
Cycle Day: 18
TTC Cycle #: 2
Ovulation and POAS dates: I'm on CD 18 and still haven't ovulated. No idea whats going on. Seemed like I would last week, but I'm pretty sure it didn't happen (I've just been using OPKs and charting CM). Hoping it will happen soon, but I may just be having an anovulatory cycle.
Baby #: this will be our 2nd, I have a daughter who is almost 2 1/2
Your plan this month: If this cycle doesn't work out I'm going to start temping, which I did to conceive our daughter. I'm also continuing to get a handle on how my celiac disease (diagnosed in December) impacts my cycle. Given that diagnosis, and my recent cycles being so strange, I will likely go see my doctor if we aren't pregnant after my next cycle to do a few other tests related to the Celiac disease.
For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? I love autumn, and winter! I'm anxiously awaiting cooler days, and all of our fall traditions. And using our new wood stove! -
@MrsDragon: Happy anniversary month! I love fall weddings!!
-
Cycle Day: CD9
TTC Cycle #: 1
Ovulation and POAS dates: I was O around CD 17 but last cycle was 10 days longer than usual so not sure what to expect this time. I only track cycles and some symptoms, no charting here. I'm in a wedding on the 19th so ill prob POAS on the 17th before I leave (CD30) but we will see how this month progresses.
Baby #: 2 DD is 18 months.
Your plan this month: BD EOD from now until af or bfp
For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? Love visiting our local farm for apple cider and donuts! Nothing exciting planned for September except hopefully making a baby!Good luck everyone!!
-
@MrsDragon: Thanks for making this! I was just thinking about the new thread this morning.
Soooo... this cycle has been REALLY screwed up, so bear with me while I *try* to fill this out.
Cycle Day: 55... ugh.
TTC Cycle #: 3-4ish
Ovulation and POAS dates: I think I may have ovulated Aug. 24... just based on cramping and pains. I'll start POAS Sept. 3
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: We just continued to BD as normal.For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September?
Halloween, comfy sweaters & leggings, changing leaves, pumpkin EVERYTHING... the list goes on and on. Fall is my absolute fave! DH and my mom both have birthdays at the end of this month. A beaner would make a wonderful present! 
everyone!!
-
Cycle Day: CD16
TTC Cycle #:3
Ovulation and POAS dates: Aug 29 (CD18) will POAS twice a day starting 8dpo (probably Sept 7)
Baby #: 1
Your plan this month: I've been out of town on business this week so haven't been using OPKs (did bring my thermometer) and we'll only BD when I get back on on O-1 and O day but hoping that's enough or that I ovulate a little later to sneak a few more chances.For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? Pumpkin spice lattes, cooler weather and leggings. fall is the best! We are doing the Kentucky Bourbon Trail with 4 of our college BBFs. My BFF is pregnant with a surprise baby(due a week before would have been with the pregnancy I lost) I'm super excited to see her and catch up but I'm nervous on how I'll keep my emotions in check around her. Although I'm super pumped to be an aunt her pregnancy is the only thing that still triggers me to think of my loss. It's also my husband's 27th birthday and our 8yr dating anniversary in late September so I'm excited to celebrate those

Your plan this month: DTD every other day this week and next just to cover all our bases since I'm not charting or temping.
For Fun: What's your favourite fall activity? Anything special happening in September? DD's birthday and our anniversary are both in September. The best month! I think my husband is going to cave to my "all pumpkin all the time" mentality and let me decorate the house with fall decorations this weekend. -
So last month I managed to relax my symptom spotting and accept the idea that things might not work so quickly. But now after the CP, I'm all of 2dpo and my googling has begun in earnest. I feel like I did on the first cycle again - I really desperately want to get pregnant this time, and am wavering between the thought that it could happen this month, and the thought that I should be more realistic. I think this is gonna be a tough one.
-
@MrsDragon: I'm sorry. It's such an anxiety producing process. This won't make the wondering, ruminating, obsessing go away, but I do remember from my first go round finding it helpful to have other things to look forward to during the TWW. Like coffee with a friend, a movie, something small that still feels like a treat.
I'm a hot mess right now too, though. Solidarity.
-
@silva I am so glad we're on vacation at the tail end of my TWW! Distraction during the last few days and distraction if/when AF comes, plus I need to clean and pack this week so maybe that occupy me,
-
Good luck in September ladies!! Fingers crossed for lots of
-
@MrsDragon: this is me every month...I am like super chilled out UNTIL I'm pretty sure I've ovulated and then I'm constantly googling symptoms at x dpo!

@mrschickpea: Do you have any info on using B-Complex? I just read about it and am curious....
-
@Silva: I use it mostly during my luteal phase to lengthen it but I found if I use it earlier, it also helps with CM which I feel I'm lacking some months

Last night I had a dream that I got my period and I was so disappointed. My mind is totally playing tricks on me!
-
@MrsDragon: Last night I had a dream that I was pregnant, lol! My friend told me I was because I was getting freckle/moles on my arm, which is the #1 sign of pregnancy (in my dream!) haha.
I've been having soooo many weird dreams lately. -
Oh I forgot to put, my POSS date will probably be the 22nd! Ah just so crazy and hard to believe this time to try has actually come!
-
@Shizaz: I added it! That's my anniversary so I hope it's an extra lucky day!
-
I stocked up on tests today. It's way too early to test and waste them, but I'm getting excited! Wishing all of you ladies luck! I really hope we can get some BFPs this month!
-
For those of us who already have one LO, did it take longer to conceive than the length of time you've already been TTC#2? For me, LO1 was conceived the 2nd cycle...but really it was pretty lucky because I'd only just started using OPKs and I didn't have much of a clue as to when I was ovulating. I'm on cycle 4 of TTC#2 and already I'm having fears creep in my mind that something's wrong and it's not going to happen naturally.
-
@MrsDragon: I hear you on symptom spotting! I'm 4 dpo and had the craziest dream last night so of course I'm convinced I'm pregnant, haha.
@illumina: I feel the same way about TTC #2. We got pregnant right away when we started trying for #1. I had a CP that cycle, and then I got pregnant with my daughter the very next cycle. For this potential future baby, we've already had one miscarriage, one CP, and a few BFN cycles. It's so discouraging!
-
Cycle Day: 8
TTC Cycle #: 4 I believe
Ovulation and POAS dates: 9/8, POAS 9/20

@illumina: # 2 has been different for us because when we ttc #1 I got a bfp the first cycle but had a mc and then the very next cycle got s bfp with DS but this time so far I got a bfp the first cycle ttc# 2 in November but found out it was ectopic in January so then we waited for 1 cycle like ob recommend and tried again the end of February and got another bfp the first cycle but that too was ectopic so we we're told to wait 6 months so we are on our first cycle trying again since the last ectopic
everyone!!
hopefully some will spill over to September
