Hi everyone and welcome to the new thread! Please check your status and let me know if you need to be moved.

Hope I get to move a bunch of us to BFPs this week!!! I will be testing on Friday. I am currently 5 DPO. My post-O temps this cycle are eerily similar to the cycle I got preg. I hope it means something

[sleepingbeauty]

Thanks for the new tread!

[jenniferadurham]

Thanks for the new thread! HOLY MOLY that's a LOOOONG list of waiting O'ers!!!

This is my O'ing week! Finally! I'm on CD10 today so we can start TTC! What a GREAT day to start! V DAY! I wish I wouldn't be so tired and we could DTD everyday! I'd feel much better about TTC then. I have a good feeling about this cycle!!

I'm going to TRY to hold off on testing this cycle..yeah right. LOL! I have 1 FRER and 1 Digi...hoping that I can stand strong and only use those and not go get more bc I couldn't wait. IF we get pg the EDD would fall around Nov 11th.

Does anyone else get horny around O'ing time? Most of my dreams were about sex last night. And I must be spreading my pheremons(sp?) all around bc DH wont stop looking at me with his 'eye' and won't stop asking me for sex. He asked me yesterday after I had already taken a shower, legs shaven and lotioned, about to dry my hair...you couldn't have said something BEFORE I got in the shower? Poor fella didn't get any...I didn't feel like showering all over again.

GL to all!!! Congrats to all the BFP's already!

Thanks for the new thread.
I am 4dpo today, but I am hoping to hold out until next Monday. It seems so far away. I am having all sorts of weirdness going on. I am fairly certain I o'd based on my usual o symptoms (I do not chart). I was totally dry the day after o, then creamy cm, now ewcm. I'm not sure what that means. My cervix never dropped after o, but did become obviously closed, well as closed as it gets for a cervix that's given birth before. I know it's impossible to have symptoms yet, and I am really good about not obsessing this early, but boy do I feel different. My nipples are sore, after bding today I had cramps, I am dropping everything, and I am so thirsty. Hmmm. Should be interesting.

all around!

Hopefully there's some good Valentine's day going on!

[CLH_X3]

Thanks for the new thread!!!

Wohooooo I should b Oing this week! ...

Jenniferadurham - I was going to ask, since were on the same CD, have you got any ewcm yet ? I had a little bit today, not loads but hopefully O shouldn't be that far away yay!!

What CD do you usually O ? The only time I caught my surge and got a + I was on CD15 ....

Hope everyone is having a good day!!

[quasar]

We got a really nice Valentine's Day present today. I wasn't really expecting it since I haven't had any symptoms other than high temperatures. I didn't even temp after suspected O (on CD39) because I didn't want to know if my positive OPK was just a fluke. Can you please move me and my partner smartycat to BFPS, please? The due date is October 26th.

[Frisbee]

Could you please add me to waiting to O?

Been lurking for a while but now I'm going official. I'm on CD 5, hopefully O'ing in ~10 days. Got a bbt thermometer and got my chart going, ordered some internet OPKs and HPTs. Ready to TTC full on!

I've got one DD already, 27 mos old, conceived on the "first try" so never got to fully immerse myself in TTC. Hopefully this month is it, it would make her almost exactly 3 years old when her sib is born.

My chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2ca47f

Please move me to waiting to O

miriam_bat_avraham... Oh boy, it has been 4 years, hasn't it? I started TTC in December of 2005.

There reasons why I haven't gone to a fertility specialist. The biggest is that I have no health insurance and not enough to pay out of pocket. The second reason is that I'm not sure if I need one.

My TTCing has been rather varied and erratic.

When I started I was doing at home insems using my ex's sperm. My ex was a heavy smoker, binge drinker (and I found out later, maybe a drug user as well) plus, he was 50 years old. So, his sperm may have been a factor.

Also, that first summer, I got my hands on some Clomid and, since I wasn't under a doctors care, used very low doses, which more than likely just screwed with my hormones!

Oh, and I quit smoking in April of 2006. I was told it could affect my fertility, so I quit!! But, I think I read someplace that it can take time to get the bad affects out of your system.

In December of 2006, I began the process to adopt from my county. So, in January 2007, I stopped TTCing and concentrated all of my energy on adoption.

In June of 2007, my application to adopt was denied. I guess I had some issues with my family that I didn't know about, as they did not give good references.

Anyway, in July of 2007, I started to TTC again with my ex. I charted and figured out my cycle through the next several months. I may have had some chemical pregnancies as well.

In April of 2008, my ex died.

In May of 2008, I decided to continue to TTC, using live donors and old fashion BDing. (I know it seems soon, but he was an EX and I had been single for quite awhile) Anyway, it was fun! LOL

In August of 2008, the fourth time I TTC'd with other donors, I got my first BFP! I decided the secret was using young, healthy donors. Grin. Sadly, I lost the baby at on October 10th, 2008. I feel the loss was due to the antibiotics I was prescribed for a bout of Bronchitis.

I jumped right back into TTC, again, using different donors. The one that had given me my BFP had moved out of state.

I got my next BFP very quickly, in December of 2008. But I lost that pregnancy on December 23rd, 2008. I don't think that one was ever a healthy pregnancy. My BFPs were very faint and it didn't feel like the first one. I think I knew all along that I would miscarry. In fact, I had what I think was an Ovarian Cyst burst on me as well, about a week before I miscarried. I was using NPC at the time and think that's the only thing that delayed the miscarriage from occuring when the cyst burst. BTW, I have NEVER felt pain as excrutiating as that cyst! I hope none of you ever have to go through that!

In January af 2009, I decided I liked male companionship, so, I started dating a guy who was on-board for getting me pregnant right away. That guy lasted until March, about 3 cycles.

I found another willing guy practically right away, in April of 2009. By the end of May, he said he no longer wanted to TTC. I had fallen for this guy, so I told him I would give him a little time. Then he lost interest in sex... So, I told him I wanted to TTC, with or without him. He said he was okay if I did it without him.

So, in July I tried once, halfheartedly. I got very sick during my next cycle, so I skipped it. Then, I tried again on the next cycle. I stopped after that, I was miserable and it didn't feel right. I wanted to go back to trying with him, but at that point I would have been happy just being with him. Sex still wasn't happening. I stuck with him like an idiot, then broke up with him right before New Years.

I have not actively TTCd since then, though I did have a possible "oops" in January from a date who wasn't as careful as he should have been. He is the only one I've dated so far.

So, that put me back onto the dating trail... I still don't want to be alone, now more than ever. And, my financial situation is not like it was when I began TTCing, I lost my business and my house and am starting all over again. So, I'm trying to not only find a man for me, but a father for my child(ren).

See how off and on the actual TTCing was?

I have a date tonight and am going to try to date a few guys at a time. I'm told "playing the field" is better. But, honestly, I have trouble focusing on more than one at a time. So, we'll see how that goes.

Whew... I think I just spilled my guts big time!!! For those of you who think I tend to rush into things, remember I'm 40, I don't have the luxury of just letting life happen for awhile. I did the responsible thing most of my life, and ended up childless, broke and alone.

Give your little one a pat for me.

Quasar and smartycat, congrats!

[finnegansmom]

So my spotting totally turned into a flow - like medium even. WTF.
I don't think it's a new cycle yet, so I'm not starting a new chart. I'm assuming it's just leftover from the MC but it's a crappy Valentine's day present. Oh and my DH didn't even get me anything, not even a card from the boys.

[Dana_305]

Thanks for the new thread!

Quasar and smartycat Congrats!!!

[sleepingbeauty]

Did anyone do anything nice for V-day?

We celebrated 2 nights ago with a suprise date. We didn't know it was going to happen. We went to check out the new town and ended up having a nice dinner. I had sushi/sashimi and Anton had Chicken Katsu. Which he LOVED. (How could you not?)

Today we went to buy toilet paper and we had Subway for dinner. I only had half of mine because it's the 1st pill of the pack and I'm nauseous as hell.

I'm so sorry... I hope you're premature and he comes up with something at the last minute. Hugs!!!

Stevi~ it's only 1 "L" lol but it's okay...it's a combo of 2 letters from my first name and 6 letters from my middle name....then DD's Birthday. I tried to be creative lol. ANYWAYS....i'm still getting REALLY REALLY light + on my ICs and i've not been brave enough to take a FRER yet...it took me FOREVER to get a + with DD so I'll probably wait until tuesday when i'll be 13dpo....that seems like a lucky day for everyone lately....I have been having sore nipples (like so bad i can't wear a bra half the time...), sick to my stomach for the past couple of days (and all of my bloating is gone from my OHSS so that's not it), and i have a strang (heavy) feeling in my uterus. I've also been waking up at like 10 am the last couple of days after only going to bed at 630 or 7 in the morning. Then i go back to sleep until about 3 or 4 in the afternoons. I'm having crampy feelings on both my left and right sides and my hips have been hurting the past few days too...and we haven't even BDed in a the past week because i've been getting over my OHSS symptoms. BLAH...i just wish that I could finally get a BFP...get the next 9 months over with and be holding my little bundle of joy!!!!! (or 2 bundles of joy ) G/L everyone this week! I hope every has a great week!



ETA: I have experienced a cyst rupturing and i understand how bad that hurts...i know that is random but i hate everything that you've had to go through with TTC!!!!

I hear you!! Im 9dpo and my ICs still have a faint line on them!! Im pretty sure its false though. I have two brands of ICs and on one brand all of them have a second faint line (within time frame) but the other brand (which is meant to be more sensitive) is stark white!!
I have a FRER waiting for me in the morning (10dpo, i got a + last preg at 10dpo) I have NO symptoms though, so highly doubt this is my cycle, which I find soooo frustrating, when oh when will I have a baby!!!

[CLH_X3]

Quasar + Smartycat - congratulations
