I'm joining in! I'm a nursing mama and we are now officially TTC. I just went off my mini-pill on Tuesday, so I'm waiting to see what type of bleeding I have. I haven't had my period since August 05 b/c I was on a 28-day mini-pill, so I expect the next couple of months to be interesting.

Going to catch up on all the posts in this thread....


Oh and I should put in bold that I am TTC - is that "waiting to catch the first PP egg" or "waiting to O"??
I have much to learn!

Huh, and for us with short LP`s it really does make a difference, doesn`t it?

New here.
Please add me to waiting to o.
I have a nursing 3 yo dd. Had a miscarraige in Feb and I've waited the recommended 3 AFs before trying again. Well, the third AF ends tomorrow (hopefully) then we will be officially TTC!
Read through the whole thread and just wanted to say congrats
:to those with BFP and
to those that had a loss and
: to the rest of you trying and

jldumm Congrats!!
:

afm - I have no idea if I ovulated or not this month. I quit charting temps because the morning time was too eratic. I'm getting the itch to test (cd 24) and trying to remind myself it's too early, just wait, just wait.... so I guess I need to move to 2WW

If you already have had your first PPAF I would say you're waiting to O. The "waiting to catch" category is usually for those who haven't gotten an AF and want to make sure it stays that way.

, Momma Aimee. I know it's tough waiting for your body to cooperate. Feel free to vent here.

I'm getting some really good fetility signs and hoping that I'll be Oing soon. Last night was our anniversary so it was easy to convince DH to give me so lovin'. Now I just have to keep convincing him until the temp spike!

EXACTLY!! on one hand, I tell myself it doesn't really matter (in terms of dtd and timing and all) - what's done is done... But I REALLY want to know if my LP is lengthening or not!
 
#191 ·
Ok, FF is officially playing mind games with me. First, it said I O`d on CD 21, then changed it to CD19. Now it`s CD23 (I think, I`ve lost count). It all looks nice but I know I definitely didn`t O on CD23. CM, CP just don`t match.
Huh, stay calm...
 
#192 ·
Can you please move me to waiting to O?

I'm so freakin excited!!! I've been posting (on and off- mostly off for obvious reasons) since my son was like 8 mos old. I never got my period. I refused (well, thought about it and then realized better!) to wean simply to conceive and it has paid off! I am on day one of a new cycle! Just got AF!!!! Woohoo!!!
: I can't wait to start TTC!!! Adn my son is still nursing, only morning and night, and I know pregnancy can affect that, but I'm ready. For all of it! Wish me luck this cycle ladies!!!
 
#195 ·
Please move me to Waiting to O.

It was/is AF and the wait is on. I'm thinking of charting temps. Can anyone recommend, is Fertility Friend the way to go? Does it cost? I haven't charted temps since I was preventing preg. in my early 20s (been crunchy for a long time
) and then I did all the graphing myself.

bdoody11, my DS takes a little convincing too, (we've never gotten back really in the swing since DS) and I don't want him to feel like I'm only interested to conceive (although that can be hard when I put a pillow up under my hips right after
)

Congrats Jildum, ditto everyone else, a line is a line is a line!

I far prefer TCOYF/Ovusoft. I think they have a 15 day trial and then the software is like $40 or so. I also heard that they may have a TCOYF web version at iVillage? But I haven't checked it out.

Congrats Jldumm!
:

I think I am out this cycle. I am spotting and cramping.
: I am 8dpo and I guess I need to look at the bright side and think about the fact that my LP is at least 2.75 days longer than it was before my first PPAF.

Good luck to those testing soon!

I have been ordered not to test (by my dear friend. lol. she knows i am insane about this) until Monday, so I am with you on the weekend dragging. I actually am supposed to still be in the "waiting to be ready" category, but we had a little "slip-up"
So, I guess I can be moved to Two Week Wait

So, in the interest of not testing until Monday, I don't have a single test in the house and while we are camping this weekend, I will not go anywhere alone. rofl. I cannot be trusted not to grab a test.
I am actually OK with either result, I am just going batty not knowing.

Good luck making the weekend fly by. Hope you get a BFP!!!!

i really like Fertility friend... If I remember correctly, there is a free option - and a VIP option, that is very affordable and gets you some additional perks/analysis. But, if you are already familiar w/charting, you can probably just do the basic free option and get the benefits....

hth!

They do have a free charting web version at ivillage

I also prefer TCOYF/Ovusoft far easier to read the fertilityfriend.
