We're both on CD10, so we can be cycle buddies! I'm hoping to O within the next week too. Happy anniversary to you!

Brichole - Congratulations!

AFM - Waiting to O... DH had a teacher work day today and he came home early, so I was hoping for some afternoon delight. Unfortunately he didn't have time and now he's gone until late tonight. I might try to wait up for him this evening, if I can stay awake!

[Stevi]

KingsDaughter76... Oh, that would be sooooo cool! Ovulation and successful BD, right on your anniversary!!!! (Becoming a BFP, of course.) That's what I'll cross my toes for!!!!!!!

[SaraBravo]

Kingsdaughter-that would just be AWESOMENESS!

[brichole1214]

kingsdaughter: that would TOTALLY be awesome!!!


And thank you to everyone for the congrats!!! I'm really getting excited though i can't even go to the doctor until may 1st because that's when my new insurance kicks in....unless i can come up with the money to pay the doctor to do b/w and an u/s early which i doubt i'll be able to do...



s to Holly!!! I was really really praying that this was your cycle!!!!!

THAT'S IT I LIED, I WANT TO BE PREGNANT NOW!!!

I swore I wasn't going to get like this. Last time DH and I were TTC, I became, well, a little obsessed. We had a m/c after ttc for several months, and it kinda sent me over the edge of TTC sanity. Dh was totally on board, he told me after the fact that he kinda wished we had taken a more personal approach to TTC rather than the "I'm ovulating, drop your pants" all business style that [s]we[/s] I did. We ended up having to go through IVF so it didn't matter all that much, but it would have made the time we did spend naturally TTC a little more enjoyable.

I am not willing to make that mistake twice though, so I have taken a VERY lackadaisical approach this time. I am here to say, I CAN'T do it anymore. I WANT A BABY! I have the fever. I am willing to bd during a spat at O time at this point. I mean it is for the greater good right? I am NOT willing to go several night with out doing THE DEED after a + OPK like we did this cycle. I want both of us to commit to this 100%. DH seems to be commited, I am just afraid that if I totally commit myself I am setting myself up for failure because I am not so sure we can afford IVF this time, if it come to that.

Side note and for the record: We are infertile but totally capable of getting pregnant on our own. We have nothing SOLID stopping us, like blocked tubes or no sperm. I have thick shells (zona) on my eggs and my dh has low morph but still not VERY low, if that makes sense. Dr told us we could conceive on our own but it might take a REALLY long time, if ever.

Anyway, I am here to say. Next Month IS Game Time!!!! No more of this "whatever" BS. I AM GETTING PREGNANT! Oh and if Stevi has anything to say about it, I already am.

Thanks for allowing me the time to me give myself a pep talk. You ladies are the best!

P.S. I forgot to mention that it doesn't help that 3 women who did IF stuff/pregnant with me the first go round are "surprise" pregnant right now. I'm happy for them, but OH SO JEALOUS all at the same time.

[CLH_X3]

I dont think iv said it but Brichole - Congratulations!
Happy Happppyyy for you

Well im on CD5! ...is anyone else on CD5?

I Re-set my CBFM this morning! ...Hopefully it will pick up the peak

and I took my first temp... Im going to enter it now...!

Aly22681 - you go for it girl!

[Sweet.Bee]

Brichole: Congratulations! I knew you sounded pregnant!

SaraBravo: We also did the long distance thing (9-hour time zone difference, ~18 hour traveling time with an ocean between us). Sometimes it's tough but definitely doable. We tried to phone/message/e-mail or somehow communicate every day, and that helped.

[mumma cop kaz]

Kingsdaughter76- I would love to be your cycle buddy im CD11, but I O later than you, so hopefully we can be almost cycle buddies!! Im praying I O early this cycle!!

Sarabravo- You can totally manage, especially if you have visits to count down to. I find that if you can break the time apart into weeks it makes a huge difference. Im pretty sure Mae will agree with me when I say that anytime you spend with DF is extra special because of the long distance relationship.

AFM- CD 11, DH got SA results today, DR was happy with quality, number was just below normal but DR was not concerned. I guess we just have to get perfect timing with bding this cycle. Without sounding negative, i've kinda given up with my dream of baby #3 and am preparing myself for the waiting to be ready category!! Im hoping this cushions the blow for me if AF arrives.

[CLH_X3]

Oh I forgot to ask my temp this morning was 98.04 (vaginally) .... Is that to high before ovulation ? I thought it would be in the 97’s ...

[Tulpen88]

CLH- That temp seems a little high to me, but it's probably in the normal range for a pre-O temp, especially if its taken vaginally. I take my temp orally and it ranges from about 96.8 to 97.2 pre-O. GL with the CBEFM this cycle!

Momma cop - We're cycle buddies too. When do you normally O? Congrats on the good SA results! That's awesome news. I'm sorry you're feeling like Baby #3 will never happen. s I'm praying that your feeling is wrong & you'll be blessed with a BFP very soon!

Aly - I totally get how you're feeling. I feel the same way about TTC. It's really hard for me to not stress & obsess. I wish I could be more laid back about it, but I'm not. I'm feeling pretty laid back right now, but that's just because I'm pre-O. I tend to shift towards obsession after I ovulate. This may be a really stupid question, but is there anything you can do to make the zona of the egg softer?

AFM: My OPKs are getting darker... Hopefully I'll have a positive soon! I somehow did manage to wait up for DH last night, but now I am exhausted! I need a nap.

[emski4379]

CLH- I agree it seems a bit high, but you said you took it vaginally. I generally take mine orally, which may be why they're lower.

Momma cop - Yay for good SA results! That's great. Just keep thinking Baby #3 WILL happen!

Aly - I am the same way. There is no relaxed TTC for me. I tend to go into obsession mode after O. Right now I'm 3dpo and am dying to get to 10dpo to test.

Tulpen88-I hope you O soon too!

[karmab]

clh- yep, it's a fine pre-o for vag temps- they tend to be about 1 degree higher. good job with the remembering to temp!

to all

[Tulpen88]

Congratulations, shy!!

I'm going to go take a bath in that baby dust now.

[karmab]

i knew it. happy for you, shy!

[SaraBravo]

Thank you ladies for all your advice.

CONGRATS SHY!

Aly- I can sorta sympathize with you... I said if I wasn't pg and SO went to chicago we would wait a while... but I want it sooo bad... hoping for an ooops this cycle! lol.

[Tanikit]

Congrats shy! That is fantastic - wow this has been a lucky thread lately.

13dpo and my temp dropped this morning so I suspect AF will be here tomorrow and I am not going to waste a test. Strangely though I have had no spotting today and I have spotted the day before AF every single month so far. If nothing happens tomorrow then I will test on Thursday, but I suspect AF will show.

As for the temperature thing - my sugar levels were really low this morning when I took my temperature and low sugar levels always make me feel very cold - I wonder if that could have dropped my temperature or not - will have to go and google that.

Thanks Last night before I went to bed I made sure I put my therm under my pillow (I sleep next to a wall) so that it was in easy reach and I made sure that my OH was the one who had to jump out of bed to turn the alarms off
I am determined to temp every morning! I even paid for VIP on FF to make sure I did it! That way it will be a waste of money if I don’t!

And thanks for reassuring me that it’s an ok temp as I just thought it was too high. Oh and thanks to everyone else for their input

I was just about to say if you want you can add my chart next to my name but i can see you have already done it!

Shy – CONGRATULATIONS !! Wohoooo!! ....
