Do you track 2WW symptoms?: I am now! I am also ane expert in symptom spotting.

Anything notable about your TTC journey thus far? One MC which happened in December. It was particularly devastating, because our conception date was our one year married anniversary, and we had already been trying for 6 months prior to that. It was an early MC, but still very sad.

Ummm...I suspect that I have a short luteal phase (8-10 days) and my dr. doesn't seem to care and I'm not very confident in the competency of her nurses (really just 1) over the phone. I will give the practice one last chance to convince me when I go in for my annual in March. If they don't impress me then, I will be looking to change Dr's.

@owlteach: how long have you been going there?

Trying for LO#: 1
How long did you try for previous LOs?

Decade (Age: 20s/30s/ect): 25
Cycle #: 11
CD: 4
How long is your usual cycle? 26-27 days but I had a weird 29 day cycle last month.
Conception Tools (OPKs, ect.): Started using OPKS at the beginning then it became too much of a hassle. I thought we would just BD around my ovulation window, but no luck so far. I bought digital OPKS for this cycle.
Fertility Aids/Medications: I've tried B complex for two months which really made my cycle wacky. We also used preseed one cycle. I am going to use it again this cycle.
Do you track 2WW symptoms?: I try not to, but my imagination gets the best of me!

Anything notable about your TTC journey thus far? I didn't think we'd be starting cycle 11 with zero success. I'm getting mentally prepared to go to see a dr. if nothing happens these next 2 cycles.

@owlteach: thanks! You too

@owlteach: Can you just see the specialist, or do you have to see the regular dr too?

@owlteach: ooooh, that's rough. I hope you can find something that makes you feel comfortable. Would it be possible to drive farther away?

@HolisticMama: Do you remember what your FSH was when your RE diagnosed low ovarian reserve?

Checking CM

Every other cycle I almost knew I was not . Period cramping 1 week before AF --no surprise But still sad.. The last few days have been so different

Spotting started yesterday am, after 3 nights of CRAZY dreams, and the worst breast tenderness I have ever experienced. I took a hpt on CD 26 because I was certain this was my mo. Our attempts may have been affected by the Auburn nat'l championship game -my DH had tickets. Of course we did not know he would be going when I started that mo cycle of clomid about 2 weeks before the game.

So here we are ... Still no AF I want to test again since I still have abn sx ... But I know it will ruin my mood .... Tomorrow will be CD 29, waiting for expected AF

I just want to hear some good news, I feel like my support system does not understand, I'm not jealous of ppl w kids, and I'm not upset "this is not my month" - I'm afraid it may never happen.

I can't control the world, DH travels and we both work a lot- it may just be timing

Btw my name is Lindsey - I'm new, read a lot -but never posted. thanks for the advice
