10 DPO and my chart just looks blah to me...so unlike my previous preggo charts...so that makes me think I'm out this month already. I know its not over yet....and I know I was sick so that did mess with my temps.

TTC can be sooooooo hair pulling!

[CLH_X3]

finnegansmom - Yeah, thats what comes up when I look as well, I think next cycle Im just going to stop taking EPO and im also going to stop the B6...

Just going to see how it goes for a cycle without vits and stuff...

TTC can be so sometimes!!

Ummm after TTCing for 5 months with charting and temping, and totally bailed on everything and got pregnant so..... there is something to be said for that.

I'll probably be at that place next cycle. It's too time consuming and stressful. I know I told my dh we would TTC "half-assed" but honestly I have no idea what that even means. I either don't TTC or I do it with reckless abandon.

Speaking of, I need to go take my temp, pee in a cup and stalk my cervix. yee haw!

[CLH_X3]

It is very time consuming....

I think Im just going to stop all the vits, not even bother trying to temp and im just going to stick with my CBFM and OPK... thats it...
I might even re-start my CBFM, as it feels messed up now to me!

Well my OPK are still neg so im not going to take another one till tomorrow now

[finnegansmom]

CLH, how negative are your OPKs? Do you find your CBFM matches your OPKs? How come you do both?
I would still take at least a prenatal or a multi vitamin. If I stopped everything, I would still take b6 (for nursing) and a prenatal. But that's just me. Right now I had been taking maca (vitex which I stopped last cycle because of headaches), prenatal, B6, EPO, RLL tea and something else I forget.... it's kind of ridiculous. I'm at the point now where just LOOKING at my enormous daily pill case starts my mouth watering in a pre-gag reflex. yuck.

[CLH_X3]

Well sat they were so neg that you couldnt really even see a second line at all...

this is today ..

Still 100% neg, but il wait and see if it gets any darker

I just do both really to make sure the CBFM is correct, just double checking really ...

I will only continue taking Folic acid, the rest il leave for a while!

karmab, thanks so much for starting the new thread! I was planning to log back in last night and start it, but after all my unpacking I was just pooped.

I saw that you've changed the color of some of the names on the list, is this a new system for letting us know who is active? I did check out some charts while I was threadkeeper and found some old ones, but I didn't remove anyone cause I didn't know if they had just stopped charting or were gone or what. If you've come up with a system, that is awesome and will be so helpful.

I'm 9 DPO and haven't tested yet, but I might test tomorrow. I'm actually feeling very optimistic this cycle even though I haven't had any symptoms to speak of.

[finnegansmom]

CLH, I agree with double checking, hence I take 2 OPKs at once if anything looks promising. It's nice to take a pill holiday. And honestly, not charting/temping is awesome.

I just took an OPK and it's almost positive again. Emphasis on *again*. I'm hoping this afternoon it will be darker. I haven't BDed since Saturday though - if my temp rises tomorrow that would be O-3. Not sure if we can have time together today, my husband is at school until later and the kids are the world's best form of BC ever created....

Same here!

How did women in the past deal with TTC w/o an MDC-type support group?

[finnegansmom]

CLH, how often do you take OPKs? Once a day? twice? Just wondering how you coincide them with the CBFM (I'm thinking of getting one maybe...so sorry for all the ?s...)

Haha, I have no idea.. I think this is the second most used web page I go on accept for Facebook.

finnegansmom - I actully do 3 cheap OPK a day ... one in the morning even though your not supposed to about 11 and then one about 2/3 and then one again at about 6.... and if im really bored il do one at 8 as well...

Well last cycle i got a + OPK the day before I got a peak on my monitor... so i basically just do both and I usually get a + the day before I get a peak

Well i hope you get a + tonight! and I hope i get a + in the next couple days... there will be no chance of DTD tonight, me and my OH are just to busy today... and my OPK neg anyways

[karmab]

barefoot- i am happy to do it! yes, i will go through the list and change name colors to navy if they are active. i changed the ones i know of off the top of my head, and i will check the rest.

[SaraBravo]

I was taking an ic opk and 1st responce. And I tested 1-2 times a day. Crazy me has taken 2 pg tests both neg of course because I only o'd wed or thur. I think I'm going to wait til af is due to start testing

[karmab]

you know what, fm? i think your chart is pretty. you are going to o shortly. you've got good cm. temps are good pre-o temps. you are bd'ing regularly. i think everything looks good. and you are right, if thinking about taking all the supplements isn't making you happy, you should go ahead and stop them all but your pnv. i dont think you need to wait for the next cycle if they are sucking the joy out of you when you look at them, and you aren't thrilled with the result, anyway. since you are about to o in the next couple of days, maybe you can play a fun "let's all sleep in our own beds tonight, kids.. YAY!" game with the lil ones tonight, and have some special adult time with dh, really let loose and enjoy each other again? that might pique his interest in ttc.

do you ever check cp? i find it very helpful.

yeah, maybe a break from supps doesn't hurt. we started TTC last march. we were thinking of taking this cycle off, but instead i just went off my vitex and maca and didn't worry. i mean, why use protection when having well-timed sex several months in a row hasn't done anything? i only looked at FF mobile to input temps, never really looked at my chart, only really temped for my acupuncturist's sake. after so many cycles of wanting it and tracking carefully and faithfully taking supplements!!! i am still sort of shocked that the line turned pink and am waiting for this to reveal itself as one big joke! and i HATE those stories you hear about how "oh i tried and tried and as soon as i stopped trying, i was pregnant!" they drive me NUTS, along with the "just relax and you'll get pregnant" mentality because there are SO many posters on here who can disprove that theory. and yet... here i am. life is weird.

anyway. i think that was pretty much a useless contribution to the thread, but that is pretty much what i do: lurk, drop in every now and again, ramble about something inane, and then forget to check for the rest of the week and realize there is a new thread.

everyone!

:j oy

YAY!! I'm finally back in the running after my long wait with my body finally getting over the OHSS from last cycle!!!!! My RE started me on menopur and femara on the 12th and i went back friday and the nurse said things were actually starting to look better and my PCOS is starting to get better with my weight loss!! YAY. Well, i went back this morning and i have 3 folli's ready to go...so i'm just waiting to hear when i need to use my trigger shot and then on to the tww!!!! I'm so happy that i get to be in the TWW again...it feel like it's been forever since i've gotten to do that!!! I totally thought i was out this cycle last week too because i started bleeding on cd28 and my cycles are usually 43-45 days so i was like FREAKING out. The doctor said that it was just break through bleeding and to keep taking my meds so i did. My uterin lining went down a little bit by friday when i had my u/s done but today at my u/s it was back up to a 7 from a 3 so YAY..lol...i'm just a little excited today. If i get pregnant this week my kids have the chance of being 7 years to the day apart!!! I really didn't want that to happen...i wanted to have them a LOT closer together but i guess there were other plans in store for me. I also got a new job that I start April 5th so I'll have to go back to the TTC the natural way until my new insurance kicks in...and i'm sure i'll have a waiting period with the Infertility treatments because of the "pre-existing condition" which is crap but whatever lol. I hope everyone over here is doing well...i've been scanning through every now and then but i've kept to myself for the past several weeks being moppy!!! I still need to stay on waiting to O for now but i bet by wed or thursday i'll get to be moved to waiting to know!!! YAY!!!!!


PS thanks for the new thread!!!!

[karmab]

brandy girl, that is all good news, very good to hear! just say the word when it's time to move to 2ww, and

Yummy, it's always good to hear from you- stop by more often!

[sleepingbeauty]

Ugh.... my little sister is having a "maybe baby?" cycle. I swear to God, I'd die....

[MI_Dawn]

Ok you charting-gurus... here's my question...

(here's my chart)


CBFM says my peak days were CD 12-13. I've had negative OPKs every day. My EWCM hasn't dried up. It was watery yesterday and EW again today. My temps went up slightly, but I'm not sure it's really over coverline. My ferning monitor showed partial ferning once, but has shown none since (including today)

So question is - do you think I actually O'd on day 13?

[karmab]

dawn, hmmm. i think this is another one for the magic 8 ball....

i think you have to wait for tomorrow's temp. if it is up like 97.5 or higher, and trends up after that, yes, i'd pick that day as your o day with just a slow rise. if it is down, then no. then we shake the magic 8 ball again....
