Where are you at in your cycle: 8DPO
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: crampy, backache, kinda emotional, having dreams of labor.
Testing: Feb 12th; 18DPO
Thoughts: My temp is way higher then it's ever been this morning, and I'm even up a bit earlier than normal. I felt like AF was coming yesterday, backache, crampy, etc, but my LP has been about 13-14 days so it's way too early unless my cycle is really screwy.
Im 6dpo so just behind you. Good luck!! :

Where are you at in your cycle: CD2
Appointments: tomorrow I have blood tests (CD3) to rule out a bunch of crap as to why my cycles were non-existent for a year.
Symptoms if they apply: crampy and full uterus from AF I think. But the flow itself is really light to light/medium... weird.
Testing: not
Thoughts: OMG I want to O at a normal time. Granted I will take oing over not Oing anytime in my cycle, but I WANT TO O AROUND CD 14!!!! That would just make my day. Why is my temp high today though? 97.8 seems high for AF time... also- should I continue to take vitex in the pre O phase?
Sorry AF found you But good luck this cycle. . .

Where are you at in your cycle: 13DPO, CD 24
Appointments: None.
Symptoms if they apply: It's been hard not to notice the very pre-AF-like cramping the last couple of days (which I never get before AF), and my breasts are fuller and a little tender. TMI Alert: I am constantly feeling wet, and had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday and the day before. Oh, yeah, and my temp has gone up the last several days instead of going down like it should pre-AF.
Testing: FF has my test date as tomorrow, the 3rd. It's going to be awfully hard to not pick one up on my way home from work today. My longest LP has been 14 days, but my temps always start dropping a few days before AF comes. I hope this doesn't mean my LP is going from 12 days to like 16 days.
Thoughts: I just don't know what to think. Yes, I am hopeful, but I am also trying not to get too wound up in the fantasy. I started taking a B Complex after O last cycle so I am wondering if the difference in LP and symptoms of AF could be due to that, and not to being PG. I guess we'll see.

BeauGeek: I had EWCM the other day, but I'm still hopeful. Don't read too much into it.

mrscompgeek: Yes, your chart is looking good. Do you notice that it's much different than previous cycles?
Not really, Just mostly the same stuff. . . .

Where Are You At In Your Cycle? CD 32, 9DPO
Appointments? This Friday I have an appointment with my ND where I hope to get weighed to see how much I lost. I might also be able to avoid Vitex for another little bit, not sure. Its been awhile since my cycles were this normal.
Symptoms? I am sick. Other than that N/A.
Thoughts? I am really hoping that my cycles continue to normalize as I loose weight. I am so bummed that I am sick right now because I REALLY want to work out. I may still try after I get some breakfast into me.
Hope you feel better soon!

Where are you at in your cycle: 3DPO it seems
Appointments: Feb 9th neurologist for migraines
Symptoms if they apply: nothing related to TTC
Testing: not until Friday the 13th if I get that far! rawr
Thoughts: We dtd pretty nicely up until O (totally not planned, seriously, I was fed up with TTC and just went with the flow and my own needs managed to coincide BEAUTIFULLY with my O day ha!) so if there's some swimmers, I'm hoping they find the way. My DH has an appt on the 9th as well, one of his post-cancer checkups, and he's going to talk about getting another professional SA scheduled so I don't have to worry if I'm doing it right and whatever.

Good luck ladies, keep your chins up, some of you have beautiful charts and QUIT TESTING SO EARLY! Tests do NOT make you pregnant!

Where are you at in your cycle: CD 14, I think
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: none
Testing: not anytime soon
Thoughts: This is my first cycle temping and charting. Want to know if I am o'ing or not. (I have very irregular cycles and some are very long)
post #104 of 682
Well, I started cramping and spotting not too long ago, so AF is on her way.

post #105 of 682
Just wanted to let you all know I am still here. I am CD 5 - AF is here of course so no news anytime yet.
We have started Maca this cycle - will be interesting to see what that gets us up to lol
Just do not visit this forum often - in fact I 'hide' it with the little arrow button thing. Kinda depressed about it all so feel I do not want to get all excited again and jinx myself. We will try this month and see how it goes - but ive stopped charting and everything. Just make sure DH and at least take the time to make love once a week.
Anyroad...thats about it from me.

anne - So sorry. I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel. TTCing is such an emotional roller coaster. I don't know if I could handle it for 17 cycles, either, without needing to see a counselor. Nobody I know of appears to have any trouble conceiving, and it makes me feel lonely to not be able to talk to anyone about it.

Monday Check in:
Name: Amanda
Date: 2/2
Where are you at in your cycle: CD 7
Appointments: N/A
Symptoms if they apply: just waiting to finish up bleeding!
Testing: N/A
Thoughts: I'm excited to be having a normal menstrual cycle so far! It's been a LONG time since that has happened. I am also going into my second month of charting, and it has definitely helped, in my opinion. It's very addicting.

Where are you at in your cycle: CD9 (or CD3 depending on how you look at it)
Appointments: acu later this week
Symptoms if they apply: n/a
Testing: n/a
Thoughts: AF finally showed up full force on Saturday, so I am not sure if that should be my official CD1 or not. I am leaving it as is for now, but will keep it in mind.

Not in the 2WW here, that would require DH to be home

Soon though....if time keeps flying by as fast as it has been.

Ooops , I forgot about that. Well congrats on ovulating anyway, hopefully you will be in tip-top shape when he gets home and end up with a honeymoon baby of sorts.

I'm going in for blood work tomorrow. My intuition is to be excited and at the same time I nervous. I have so many symptoms that I haven't had the past 6 months of ttc'ing and though I was a t one point then. :

Where are you at in your cycle: CD 30, 12 DPO

Appointments: None

Symptoms if they apply: Very irritable/weepy, super gassy/bloated, tired...oh, wait...those are symptoms of AF! :

Testing: Already did 9 DPO and this morning...negative :

Thoughts: AF is supposed to show tomorrow, and I'm starting to feel crampy. I just feel so incredibly down right now. I think I may need to go see a counselor, because it's getting pretty bad. Pretty sure I'll be on to cycle 17 tomorrow.

If you live near Boston, MA, I have someone awesome I could recommend-- my therapist, who dealt with infertility herself and counseled couples for years.

So many great looking charts!!! I hope this month is full of BFPs for us!!

Monday Check in:
Name: PaytonPlace
Date: 2/2
Where are you at in your cycle: pretty sure I'm 2DPO
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: none
Testing: If AF doesn't come, then I'll test on the 14th, I'll be 14DPO then.
Thoughts: the past 2 cycles I've used prometrium to help my LP but this cycle I'm trying out the B6 so I'm curious to see what my LP does.

Hey there! I watched Payton Place last night. I love that movie!

Anyway, I started taking B Complex after I O'd last cycle, and had a 12 day LP when it's been 11 days most months. This month I am on 13 DPO, so I'm either PG, or it has lengthened my LP even more. Either way it's good. Aside from the B Complex and my daily Flintstones vitamin, I haven't done any other supplements/herbs/etc.
