We're in the NTNT/TTC cloud and I'm excited and anxious all at the same time.

I recently went of BCP because of irregular periods and we're waiting for DH to get off some meds before we actively try, but now that I'm off and we're NTNT, I just want to start figuring out my ovulation days and wanting to TRY ALREADY.

Good luck to you and your journey, sending you good baby juju from MI!

I'm feeling excited...but we really JUST started (cycle #1 for us). I know realistically that we're not PG, but there's a teeny tiny hope in the back of my head! Fingers crossed for you, Mrs. Green Grass, that this cycle goes well!

this is only the third cycle of TTC, so i guess i'm feeling hopeful and excited - and a little nervous.

A little overwhelmed, anxious, excited... I'm not discouraged yet, but I am considering my options if it doesn't happen naturally in the next few months.

Good luck, ladies!

We're about at 15 months as well. First we're just NTNP and I was really relaxed about it. Then I had some health issues and we had to stop for about 5 months. I was definitley a little depressed. Once we started trying again, I was impatient and anxious. The last few cycles, I've really tried to become more knowledgable and healthy so I've been less anxious and stressed because I feel like I'm doing all that I can do to stack the odds. In December I have my annual checkup with my obgyn. I'll also be 35 in December and have been "officially" ttc for 6 mos. so hopefully we'll be able to take the next step to make it happen.

We have not started yet, but I am very nervous, excited and scared at this point. Not scared of being a parent, but I suppose the surreal feeling that "other people" have babies, and it feels weird to be the one in the "trying to have a baby" position!

I'm feeling kind of optimistic right now. We had our first meeting with the infertility doctor last week (NTNT for the first 6 months, TTC 10 months since then). We're making a plan and getting ready to go!

@juliekim - Real baby dust!!! That is awesome!

I feel lame for saying how down I felt today because I started my period and it was our first month TTC post miscarriage, but it hurt when my temp dropped this morning and then AF showed up. We decided to TTC in June and got pregnant on the first shot and even though we discussed how that was not likely to happen again and that a lot of people who MC take a few months to get pregnant again, it made me feel like crying. Hubs and I talked about it, and he's really disappointed too. Right before I left for work I told him we needed to start a new chart and his only reply was "maybe next month," later he told me how disappointed he is. I don't know what I'll do if it takes several months.

@CarrieKnitsCake - Exactly! I think because last time we got pregnant right away, I was hoping for that, even though we knew it was unrealistic. How long have you been TTC?

DH has officially off his medication and I've been off BCP for 2 weeks now... I'm anxious to start, but won't be able to track my cycle until my next period, if even then because I haven't been regular the past few months.

I WANT TO TRY NOWWW!!!!!

@Alittlep, hoping to take home a baby in 2012 is my biggest wish/hope this year too.

We're only on Cycle 6, but geez it has been an emotional rollercoaster for me just like many of you have said. Well, at least for me...DH wants a baby, but he doesn't seem nearly as invested as I am. He's an eternal optimist, so he thinks it will just happen when it is supposed to. I, on the other hand, keep saying well I'm almost 29 shouldn't it happen sooner rather than later?!? I keep telling myself to be optimistic but it is so freaking hard!

Oh and I love that nature likes to kick us when we are down - not only are you not pregnant, but you get to deal with crippling cramps at the same time!

We have only been seriously TTC for a couple of months now (started NTNT in August), but I have PCOS so I am very anxious about the whole process. I am on CD 16 today and have not had a positive OPK so I am kind of down :o(

I know this is probably going to be a long road for us, and that getting down this early in the process is not good...I guess I just have good days and bad days.

@PUDDINGPOP: I completely agree with you! I was just thinking this morning that it's amazing how when I was on BCPs and I would miss one that I panic that I was at risk for becoming PG, and now I want to and it's probably going to be difficult for me!

I'm dreading my period any day now. Even though I've had several signs to the positive, I've taken a test everyday for the last 3 days and they've all been negative:( I went to a 'yoga for fertility' class tonight and actually cried a little. This will be month 6 of TTC and for some reason, that number has hit me really hard.

katiekc - Wow. You are one strong chick!

stephanie63087 - I had a MC at month 2 too... It sucks! I know exactly how you are feeling right now. *BIG HUGS*

Mrs Green Grass - That is awesome you guys are getting a plan in motion! Personally, that is the best feeling!

On month four now. Just hoping we can stick to every other day and get'r done! lol Just trying to stay positive.

so, I am officially in my first possible 2ww! I don't know how you gals do it month after month. I'm a ball of nerves and I ovulated either yesterday or today. I know that my cycle could be way off (first month off bcp) but if it's normal - and I've had some weird cramping down there the past two days. I've been on bcp as long as I can remember so I don't know what the ovulation pains are.

Onto our 3rd month right now...tomorrow AM will be CD6. I bought a CBEFM this month to try out. I'm also temping and trying out royal jelly pills. No idea how any of it will work out - but I figured I'd try it all once before I decide to just let things be and go with the flow.

Good friends of ours found out tonight that they're having a boy. I'm trying SO hard to remember that this is only a positive thing for them - it does not mean something negative for us...
