Well, I guess I'll just have to hope the two days of BDing before O were enough. No donors available today, and no time to try tomorrow.

Some is better than none, I say!

Everybody have a Reproductive Week!!!

Welcome aboard, ScarletJane! I am very sorry about your daughter, I hope your TTC journey can bring some comfort to you, and that you get a BFP very soon. Hugs!

Mumma Cop Kaz... Thank you!

[Stevi]

My OPKs are still positive, sheesh! I think my cervix still feels open, too. Though, I'm not very good at discerning that. I was able to find a small bit of EWCM, but am mostly pretty Creamy. (I actually haven't had a lot of EWCM this entire cycle) Looks like ovulation might have been today, after all.

I'll have to see about getting with one of the donors tomorrow, though, I'm not sure I'll be up for it. I won't be getting home until 6am.

Hey All! looks like I'll be joining you - after minimal discussion yesterday, DH and I decided to go for it. Of course, it was at the very end of my fertile phase (I think), so not sure if caught that egg.

Could somebody take a look at my chart (it's my homepage) and let me know if you think I O'd yesterday cd12 - at one point (cd11) I got crosshairs on cd8which is pretty early for me although I do think I o'd on cd8 in Nov '09. CD12 is standard for me.

If I did O on CD12 and we gio that night, what are my chances?

Thanks

[finnegansmom]

Enigo - I'm so sorry for your loss.

Scarlet - welcome to the group, hope your stay is short. I'm so sorry about your daughter.

AFM I'm on cd13 (or 14?) I can't even remember, I am SO NOT INTO IT this month. I'm not going to force it, i just don't have the mental energy I think. This is how bad it is, I bought 10 OPKs and can't even remember where I put them. WTF. I had a ton of EWCM yesterday. I think O will be in the next few days. My husband has finals today and tomorrow so we'll see about timing....he'll be way too stress today to deal with my nagging.

Good luck to those testing today.

[finnegansmom]

Oh Cah-Rapp.
I just tore apart my closet, found my stash of OPKs, took one and it's crazy positive.

UGH.....
DH will be super stressed all day since he has 2 finals tomorrow morning back to back so today isn't looking good...hopefully like normal I'll get a few days of +s but I have a feeling had I tested yesterday afternoon that it would have been positive since yesterday morning's test was pretty close to +.

Bah.

[karmab]

hmmm. dont wear perfume, scented lotions, etc today, fm. maybe he will need some tension relief tonight? if not, maybe he will be in the mood to celebrate tomorrow afternoon when finals are done? i had an almost pos on cd 12, +s on 13 and 14, and look to have o'd on cd15 this time (ovwatch got it right for the first time i think,) so you may still have 2 days or more maybe.

I'll see what I can do. I'm hoping it would be positive tomorrow too but the positive-ness of today's lead me to believe that this is day 2 of + OPK. I'm glad I'm not really obsessing really this month..... it's kind of relaxing, although I should make some feeble attempt to temp the next few days....

Karma, glad your OV watch works for you, we are usually on the day cycle, have you Od yet?

[mommytoallh]

So much to catch up on!

Enigo I'm so sorry.

Scarlet I'm sorry for you too. Welcome & I hope you aren't here long.

Stevi, I hope specs, slim & sweet have good swimmers!

finnegansmom, I hope dh can at least make a deposit! Tell him that's all you are looking for, and it could be a great stress release for him!

suzywan welcome!

Mrsmike, I'm glad you are feeling better & thank you for the new thread

afm: I took soy from cd3 to cd7. No major side effects except I was hungrier for snackie foods and a little more irritable. I had watery cm already on cd8. And even more today. I also added opks this month. I took one last night & there was almost no line. I took one this morning (not fmu) and there was a solid line - not as dark as the control, but I was suprised at how dark it is for cd9. I have never done opks before so I'm probably excited for no reason. I'm guessing it can be a while yet, which is ok, I don't want to O too early. Oh and I also feel like I am getting O pains already. I read soy can make you have more intense ones for a longer period of time. Time will tell.

@Suzywan: It is a shame that you haven´t put down more temperatures- it could be that you already ovulated around cd 8 as well- depending on the missing temperatures.

[nintendork]

Hi everyone, I have been stalking this thread for a while and figured I should prolly join you. I am currently 3 DPO, here is a link to my chart http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/nintendork

finnegansmom - as a person who just finished taking finals, BD was a nice stress reliever during studying

[CLH_X3]

just quickly stopping by ...

IM 5 DPO .. nothing exceiting going on to be honest. Temp was a little down this morning but I did take it an hour and 15 mins to early as I just couldnt sleep that well after that point. Oh well...

to all the newcomers! welcome!

Enigo - Big HUGS. I'm so sorry.

finnegansmom - I hope you get what you need Also how did your test results go ? Hope everything was ok!

Yeah, I don't usually temp too much at the beginning of a cycle 'cause I don't expect to O so soon..... Do you think I O'd on CD 8? I had crosshairs there until I put in the temp yesterday. However, I guess I really can't trust any of those temps as I have been woken up at 3:15-3:30 almost every night between CD7 and this morning. I temp at 6 am. It has been a very weird week.... Aside from the one 22 day cycle in Nov, I've consistently O'd on CD11 or 12 with 1 @ cd14. I don't hold out a lot of hope for this cycle , but thanks for your interpretation!

Thanks for the welcome!! It feels so weird to be back. I did *sooooooooooo* much reading/research before TTC my first and now it feels like I've forgotten everything and am starting from scratch

[raindaisie]

Hi there! I've been lurking the TTC board for the past few weeks, since DH finally agreed to start trying again! This is our first month TTC, and I'm waiting to O, on CD 11. I just began charting this month, and still trying to figure it all out. With DD, we didn't try at all, so this whole trying and waiting thing is brand new to me. Exciting, but so, so hard to not obsess. Anyway, just wanted to say hi!

[karmab]

welcome to the new folks!

suzywan, with that little bit of info, but also looking at your previous months temps, i dont think you o'd on cd 8. cd 8 eggs are not very good for fertilizing, so i hope not too. i think your most likely day looks like cd12. i would try to temp really consistently for the next bit so you might get a better idea. do you check cp? i find it very helpful for backup, along with opks.

fm- looks like i o'd yesterday. now dh just left for work and he's mad at me for not making him dtd this morning! we had a fabulous weekend away. im as sure as i can be i o'd at about 5 pm yesterday- i know you cant really go by o pain, but i really think when i have felt it, ive been right every time. i thought this morning wouldnt be a bad idea, although it's probably pushing it on the egg lifespan, so i sort of did the meow meow thang to him and he said he was running late for work, so i let him off the hook. then when he was leaving he said 'i promise we will go to bed early tonight' and like a dummy, i said, well, it will be too late for this egg... should have just kept my mouth shut. he said i should have spoken up. true. i was trying not to stress him, i dont want him to be late for work, and we covered some good bases this weekend. now im bummed.

[jenniferadurham]

Hi all. Not sure why but lately when I get on here, I'm down in the dumps. NOT BC OF ANY OF YOU...I love you all, maybe just bc I keep having to go to "TTC" instead of DDC...I'm sure you all feel my pain.

I'm not sure what my body is doing this cycle. I had slight bleeding on the 3rd and 4th and then AF kicked in on the 5th. Then on the 13th, I got some CM just for a couple of days. Then it stopped. I havent had any in 2 days(which is VERY unusual for me bc I usually have EWCM from CD10-15. SO I'm not sure what my body is doing..I'm wondering if it's going off of the 3rd as being my 1st CD? UGH. We did BD the 13th and 14th and will again tonight bc I'm thinking if my body goes normal then i will O on the 20th(if going by the 5th as CD1.) I'm almost to the point of wanting to be put on something to help us conceive...but I really want to do this naturally. I think I will talk to my DR if this cycle doesnt work. I HOPE it does though bc my EDD will be 11 days before my 29th bday!


I want to buy some IC's for the first time...where should I order them from?

Don't be bummed....if bases were covered this weekend then you are all set. I, too, think after ovulation is pushing it....fingers crossed for you.

I did meow meow, which didn't work, then I tried brutal honesty, which didn't work, but apparently saying "ok that's fine" and walking out of the room does work... I know I shouldn't be picking on my dh since he's SO stressed about finals but hey, I'm stressed about my own goings ons.... anyway, I got my way so it's all good.

Jennifer - I TOTALLY know what you mean. I don't want to see my chart, and I get bummed coming here sometimes. Hang in there.
I've had great luck buying tests on amazon.com
Cheap and lots have free shipping.
I actually made an effort to NOT buying a crap load this month. I bought 2 HPTs at the $ tree and 8 OPKs. That's all....now that's awesome for me because usually I'm pyshco with the OPKs, and I only used 2 and already have my +.

Things went OK with my hubby. LOL.
My tests came back all normal, thanks for asking!
My FSH was 7.6 which is good for a gravida like me! I was really nervous but my MW assured me everything was great, I'll see her in July for a yearly pap and if I'm not pregnant by then we'll discuss next steps.

I know that FSH levels can change and but can sperm count/quality change drastically in let's say 6 or 12 months? Her rec would be to have my DH's sperm analyzed which I can't imagine I could get him to do...

Haha, anything I would cook would be more of a punishment than anything...perhaps take out?
