She was too busy out spooking the little ones!!!

Attached2Elijah -- I have a paid subscription too.

New CM for me -- dry, creamy/chalky CM. Weird. Anyone else ever get this around 4 DPO?

[Silverbird]

Hi all!

Just poping in say hi.

We're still waiting for dh to get out of hospital and for a referal to fertility doc.

Just got my period day a week early. Makes my last cycle 17 days! Unforutunatly I didn't chart last month so have no idea what its about!

good luck to all of you this month!

[jillybeans]

Hola. Can you add me puhlease?

I'm Jill, ttc #4. Chart is http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/jillybeans
First cycle on soy, waiting to O. Hopefully soy will help! I've always had to use both clomid and progesterone to get pregnant.

And I was one of the lucky few who got the lifetime membership to FF for $40 back in the day ('04)

[jojobean]

Musicoholic and Mommy2b4: thanks! I am excited

Stevi: hope some bd's come through when you need them!

Attached2Elijah: I have the free version of FF

Sourire: Sorry about the witch...she is about to fly over to my direction soon!

Taxlady and Jillybeans:

AFM: 14 dpo, and I know she is coming...why doesn't she just DO it already???

[Lovenkisses]

Waiting to Know

Hi, ladies! Please add me to the list of ladies that are....Waiting to Know.

Hoping for a BFP after our little ones became after 6 weeks on 7/18/10. Hesitant but happy with AF due on November 11th (she will not come, she will not come).

DH and I married for 13 months. D(step)D (19 and wonderful).

Super emotional at 5 dpo. This waiting is CRAZY! Why the heck doesn't mother nature just make us go ***DING*** after a successful BD and save us all the crazy!?!?!?!

Me!! Buuuuutt.... I've only just signed up, so I've still got 27 days left of the premium...

[mingus]

musicoholic - my DS is just about the same age as yours (mine is 2/05), and I'm in the same boat of "finally brave enough to ttc a sibling".

I kind of wish we'd gotten around to trying sooner, but the last few years have brought a lot of changes (especially career-wise) and DH and I were content with 1 for a long time. DH and his 1 brother are 6.75 years apart, and they're quite close now (and for about the last 10 years). So, I'm hopeful DS and his future sib will feel well connected in spite of the age gap. It definitely adds to my impatience though.

[musicoholic]

mingus I shared my fear-reasons in another thread... I think the "need to vent" thread Found it: http://www.mothering.com/discussions....php?t=1276082

DS is always (I should say regularly, but not constantly) asking when he will have a baby brother or sister He wrote a letter to Santa, by himself, in October of 2008 saying:

Dear Santa, I have tried hard to be a good boy this year. Please may I have a baby sister or brother? Love from E. P.S. And binoculars please. I still have the letter.

Um... he got the binoculars. Maybe this Christmas we can tell him he's getting the other request?

Yeah!

Attached2Elijah... I use the free version of FF as well, and for more years than I like to realize.

AAM... Thank you for all the luck on getting my BD today!!! It worked!! I managed to get a quick visit with Slim at about 3 this afternoon. I used Soy this cycle, so I had really hoped to get better timing, but it isn't so bad. I'm now looking for a temp jump tomorrow.

[MrsMike]

I think my post was missed in the last thread. Please move me to Waiting to O. Thank you.

Probably not... I just had to use the list from 2 threads ago and tried to fix the lists as well as I could but I missed you. I'm sorry. Will fix it for ya

[ValH]

Jillybeans and lovenkisses - Welcome to the group! I hope your stay here is short!

Stevi - I'm glad you were able to get some BDing in yesterday afternoon! for a temp jump and great timing for you!

AFM - CD12, just waiting to O. Still doing the EOD BDing right now, and using the Instead Cups after BDing, hoping it'll keep everything in place. I've read good things about them, but it didn't work for me last cycle.

[SimplyRochelle]

Will you move me to waiting to O? Thanks.

[LivingSky]

Hey ladies, just dropping in quick before work. I'm loving this new job but it sure takes away from my MDC time! LOL

Please move me to 2ww. I'm pretty sure I O'ed yesterday (or maybe early today) so now, we wait. At least work will keep my brain busy

[Attached2Elijah]

Does anyone else ever get the feeling that sometimes charting really doesn't work? Like I mean, I know it definitely tells you *ABOUT* when you ovulate but is it possible that it just doesn't pin it down to the exact date really all that great? I mean, it just seems like there are so many wide variances. Some times I think people with 8 and 9 dpo BFPs maybe O'd earlier then what FF says... or people that have LATE BFPs O'd much earlier then FF said. I've been charting for almost 7 years now... I got 100% on the FF facebook game thingy, I KNOW how it works quite well... but sometimes I just think it's a bunch of crap-shooting and some people have a later/earlier O then what they think but we put so much faith in FF that a lot of people don't get pregnant BECAUSE of FF.... I have seen SEVERAL charts where people BD according to OPKs/CM and then don't get a rise for 3-5 days later and end up with a BFP... I don't know, I'm just starting to think charting really isn't all that accurate for everyone.

[Calycanth]

As predicted, AF arrived this morning. Glad to see her, since it means DH and I get to start TTC again!

A couple of questions for you ladies:

I had an 11-day luteal phase this month. Is that adequate to support a pregnancy?

I'm going to start taking both a B complex and EPO today. How much EPO should I take? I read somewhere on ye ol' interwebs that 1000/mg per day was the "correct" dosage to increase CM, so I was going to start with that, but I'd prefer to get some advice from those of you who actually take it.

I took 2000/mg per day last month (1000 in the morning, 1000 in the evening) and my CM was great!
