Ok ladies, so I started the new thread as I promised ZoeJane'sMommy I'd help out in her absence but I had a problem...can anyone tell me how to link the charts?


If I missed anyone or have any info incorrect let me know and I'll change it.

[GaleTX]

Not that I'm excited to announce it, but my age is now 29.

It's been a hectic week for me, which is good because I'm in my tww and I haven't had a minute to overanalyze all my "symptoms" like I normally would be doing! I started my new job in a nurse residency program and (lucky me) tomorrow I sit for my RN licensure exam. LOL, I'm not sure what's worse: obsessing over my tww or my exam!!

I updated it GaleTx and fingers crossed for the exam tomorrow and a BFP at the end of your TWW.

Welcome KaliShanti...hope your stay here is short. I've added you.

[tutucrazy]

Joining in here! I am 28 and TTC #2. Right now I'm 9DPO and dying to test. This is my first month trying and I didn't get very clear O signs. I've been charting for over 15 cycles and normally I get a very obvious CM indicator, not this month. I did take an OPK and got negatives at day 11 and 13 with a faint-line negative at day 14. I ran out of OPK so that is all the info I got this month, I have a feeling I would have gotten a positive OPK on day 15 if I hadn't run out of tests. I run a lot so maybe I didn't O this month.

Who thinks I should do a clearblue tomorrow?

Wow, you O late. Guess when I Oed for my first child??? CD 28/29!!! I was expecting my period to come the next day so my husband and I had unprotected sex. Surprise, surprise!!!

I'm feeling heavy down below but maybe I just have gas. I guess I will know in 4-5 days. Got a BFN today but it is only 10 DPO.

I am 29 also, let's hope it is our lucky number! This is the last cycle I can get PG and have the baby before I am 30

Welcome and I hope your symptoms are returning fertility!

I say hold out another day or two, just not to waste a test!! It is easier said than done though!




Check-In
Name: Sarah
Date: 10/4/2010
Chart: I did start a new FF chart, but it only has basic mucus signs recorded, I have a very detailed paper chart.
Where are you in your cycle: CD13/ hopefully O day
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: I think my fertile CM is drying up, no symptoms. I had every symptom in the book last cycle and though for sure I was PG, so I AM NOT going to analyze symptoms this cycle (haha, funny joke huh?)
Testing: I got 25 ic test last cycle and have used 4. The reviews I have read on these tests (after receiving them of course) were pretty negative and they have the potential to have bad evaps so I am going to try to wait until I know for sure I should have a positive... So maybe the 17th or 18th... we will see how my will power holds out.
Thoughts: hoping this is it. DH and I really put in a good effort.

[Sweet.Bee]

Monday (Tuesday) Check-In

I'm back, but not pregnant.

Name: Sweet.Bee
Date: 5 October 2010
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2e2172/
Where are you in your cycle: CD4. . . of cycle #6. Boooo!
Appointments: I went to see my doctor this afternoon, and was that ever a waste of time. They won't do anything around here until you've been trying for 1 year. I did get a nice lecture along the lines of "relax or it will never happen" though. Gee, thanks.
Symptoms if they apply: Mourning uterus (bleeding)
Testing: Ordering OPKs and will start them when I feel O is near. I hope I ovulate before my husband flies away on business.
Thoughts: In just a few days, it will be 6 months TTC. I am feeling very down. Everyone else seems to be pregnant. I want it to be my turn, please.

[Sourire]

Check-In
Name: Heidi
Date: Tuesday October 5
Chart:
Where are you in your cycle: CD1
Appointments: Going to see my acupuncturist tomorrow!
Symptoms if they apply: AF
Testing: Started using the Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor this month, according to the instructions it will have me start POAS on day 5-6.
Thoughts: Pretty bummed about being on CD1. This cycle I am going to increase my B-complex from 100mg to 150mg a day (my LP went from 8 to 10 days this cycle but I had spotting on days 8, 9 and 10 so I think it needs more help) and start taking 2000mg EPO (since I had almost no CM last month in the days leading up to O). I am also starting to use my new fertility monitor and I bought 3 months of VIP membership on FF since my free trial VIP expired today. Also my acupuncturist said it can take a month or 2 for all the good effects of acupuncture to kick in and this will be month 2 so hopefully it will be a good month!

1) Insert chart icon
2) Copy chart link
3) Highlight chart icon
4) Click the "Insert link" button at the top of the text editor and paste chart link in box

For those who already had a link in last month's thread, you can go quote the first post of the September thread and copy the links (and formatting) from there.

I hope that helps!

Wow you are on it! Talk about taking charge! Hope you feel good about that at the very least. (hugs)

Well I certainly feel better when I am proactively doing something to improve my chances, especially on a depressing day like CD1. It feels more frustrating when you are just waiting around to see if things work out on their own.

[KaliShanti]

Well, FF says I O'd. I don't believe it. I think my temps are just rising in general. I never had a completely high, open cervix. And my cm isn't completely dried up. I wish it were the case, but I just don't think it is. Plus i took my temperature a few hours after i got up again and it never rose. Isn't that odd?

Tuesday Check-In

Name: Mackenzie
Date: Oct 5
Where are you in your cycle: CD22
Appointments: going home to see my pregnant best friend in a few weeks....maybe it will rub of
Symptoms if they apply: sore bbs (well....really just one of them...), moody, but that is definitely par for the course for the week before AF
Testing: eeeeeek I really want to. But I promised DBF that we would wait until Monday, which would make me "late".
Thoughts: EEEEKKKK. We put in a really good effort this month (DTD on O, O-1, O-3, and O+1), and FF says I definitely O'ed on day 14. I really want this. BLAH, I really wanna test NOW NOW NOW.

Can I get some babydust please? I feel like I need it this month! (can you tell by all the "eeekkkks"? )
