Hellobee Boards

Hiya!Currently twiddling my thumbs on CD 4 of cycle 2ish. We tried to try last month, but with travel and Christmas didn't have much chance. Didn't stop my AF from being late and psyching me out! Looking forward to not travelling and not being at Grandma's this time around! I'm charting and happy that my O's are regular and predictable.

Happy baby-dancing everyone!

Today is CD1 of our 12th cycle TTC. My cycles are typically 32-35 days, with O around day 18, so that should put me at the end of January for O-time.

Had an awesome conversation yesterday with my RE, who told me that we might actually be babydancing TOO much (I know right? How is that possible), so we're trying her suggested BD pattern this month. As much as I hate 'scheduling' things, if it works then its worth it, right?

She suggested (for me, with long-ish cycles) BD on CD 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 26. Before CD10 and after CD26, it doesn't matter, but she was very specific with those days.
Can't hurt, right? Might as well give it a shot!

Technically, we haven't started TTC yet, but we will soon! I'm on C1D3 and I'm temping. Haven't yet had a chance to check out CM, but I plan to keep an eye on it once AF is gone. Soooo excited to start trying!

Waiting for AF to show up to finish out our TRUE cycle 1 (got of BCP Nov1 and haven't had a full cycle since) I'm on CD28 so hopefully getting AF soon.

I didn't use OPKs this past month because I was trying to "let this happen naturally" but I think it stresses me out more to be guessing about timing. I'll get back to OPKs next cycle.

I'm not going to chart b/c I wake up a million times a night and don't think I'll be able to get accurate temps.

I'm on CD 3 of my 2nd cycle trying since my miscarriages. We first started back in June. My cycles are getting back to normal so not sure how long this one will be. Maybe 32 days? Since they seem to be decreasing by 3 days. I think I'll O around the 28th. I just ordered the Clear Blue Digital OPK, so hopefully that will help. And I'm also keeping track of my CM.

Good luck to everyone!

We are in our first TWW. I O'd some time last week. I got + OPKs on Tuesday and Wednesday, but according to my usual cycle length I wasn't expecting to O until Friday (I don't temp because like MRSLMA I wake up during the night a lot so that just wasn't working for me). For about 10 days around O what we did was take every 3rd day off. So two days of BD in a row, and then one day off. I'm really hoping I was a one shot wonder because for the past few days by boobs have been REALLY tender which is highly unusual for me this earlier in my cycle. But I may just be psyching myself out. Will probably test middle of next week if I can hold off.

I'm technically on CD12 of cycle 4, but after going off the pill in October I didn't get AF until this cycle so I'm counting it as cycle 1 haha!

I've been temping this month because I don't really know when I will ovulate since this is my first true cycle. I did OPKs the first month though and got a positive test on CD17.

We were planning on BDing everyday for a while, but maybe we'll try every other like your Dr. suggested REDSMARTIES.

Hope we all have BFPs soon!

I'm 7dpo today...technically 7 dpIUI of my 11th cycle. It was my first round of Clomid and IUI, and the doc thinks everything went well...only time will tell!

oooh guess what girls. I got a smiley face on my OPK!!! Bought some wine on our way home. SorryCharlie: are we totally twins? I feel like we lead parallel lives, lol!

We are at CD 8 of our 4th cycle of trying post MC. I've started to get some fun CM, so I'm guessing we'll O between days 12 and 14. Here's to hoping we get lucky this month (pun intended). We're working on a combo of everyday and every other day. It's funny how calculated sex becomes when you are trying to get pregnant.

Hi.... CD 1 today.

We have been ttc for about 6 cycles - although a couple of them we messed up. I went off the pill a year ago.

Been using OPKs which really helps - my cycles are a little irregular, 30-35 days. Thought last month was our month!! Going to start temping this month after AF, want to confirm I am def ovulating.

I was totally one of those people that thought the second I went off the pill we would be Pg!

@hellobeeboston: I thought it'd be "right away" too! In fact, I remember debating with my sister if I should wait until after Christmas to stop BC instead of in November so I could enjoy drinking during the holidays. I thought I would be one month pregnant by then.

@MrsLilybugg: yeah, I really wish I went off sooner, oh well!

@mrsjyw: i hear ya - mind tricks.... HAVE FUN!

The first half of the month before O feels so much less stressful. I was really driving myself bonkers last month during the TWW. I'm going to do my best this month to not test early and keep myself distracted with other things. Anyone else feel like that?

@MrsLilybugg: I know! I feel a little addicted to these TTC boards. But I feel like it's the only place I can really share and talk about it.

10dpiui, Cycle 18...This is Clomid IUI cycle #2. (I feel like the old lady of these boards who always sticks around!) I can't really figure out how I'm feeling. I'm optimistic, but I'm trying to really prepare myself for AF. I'm going to try not to test, but I will at least wait until this weekend.
