Yeah, AF came anyway, of course.  She decided to give me the Present of her EVIL Presence for Christmas Eve. 

I am sick of my hormones being completely OUT OF CONTROL right before AF for the last few months.  I mean, it's to the point where I have a raging temper (which is NOT like me at all), and just downright irritable.  So I'm going to take some Maca again and hope that helps.  Also want to cut out caffeine, drink more water, and eat better to lose some weight.  I have been thinking more lately that one factor I didn't consider the month I conceived DD (after 9 months of TTC) was that I had been cutting down on fat and sodium content for a few weeks b/c I was trying to be allowed to use my employer's on site gym facility.  They had told me my BP was high, though it had never been before, and was only high when THEY took it.  But I cut down salt for a bit just to see.  So IDK if maybe the healthier eating did it???

Good Christmas morning all of my TTC ladies... hope you are having a wonderful holiday! I am Oing today... and we had some romantic Christmas eve lovin' last night so our timing actually ended up pretty good after all, yay!

[TalkToMeNow]

Congrats to LadyJennifer!  Merry Christmas to everyone!

Can I be moved to Waiting to Know?  Thanks!  I'm pretty sure I ovulated Thursday.  Too late I think.  Oh well, there's still some hope!  It's never a 2ww for me... just 10 days!  Short cycles are nice.... :)

[Stevi]

This cycle will surely end badly! I began taking Azithromycin today... I'm just too sick to avoid it. :(

[Attached2Elijah]

Pretty sure you can move me to the 2ww ... I think I O'd yesterday. My temp went up but I didn't get my normal symptoms of O this month and I have NEVER O'd later then CD 18. I've not really been paying too much attention to it this month anyway so it might have been earlier but my temp is now in the post-O range but I've been so bad about temping, I don't know that I'll even get a cover line. I just really don't care about TTC this month and we've not been BDing hardly at all so I don't hold out much for this cycle at all.

So sorry Stevi :(   I just finished my Azithromycin a few days ago. I don't know what it will do to my cycle... Hope you start feeling better though!

Done. Good luck!

I hope everyone has a safe couple weeks and I'm crossing my fingers for those who are in the 2WW. I am loading up the car right now so the next time you "see" me I'll be an old married woman

The thread is caught up until now. If someone else adds anything before the new thread is up then the new thread keeper will need change it in the new thread. Thanks!!

Same thing happened to me yesterday! AF showed super early, so now I have a new record of my shortest LP ever - 7 days. Merry Christmas to me! I guess maybe it wasn't the natural progesterone cream that was making me b*tchy like I am pre-AF, it actually was pre-AF! Anyways my consolation prize was that I got to drink on Christmas day.

Hi ladies.  I haven't posted in a long time....1) of course i was pregnant and was just poking my head in to encourage you wonderful ladies and 2) because i've been without internet!!!  It's good to see a few more ladies have graduated since the last time i posted. I also had my sweet little angel Emma Mattilynn-Gail on December 6th, 2010.  I ended up having a c-section which i wasn't thrilled about but i am recovering much better with this one than i did my first one.  Probably because this one ended up being a scheduled one because my body wasn't going anywhere.  ANYWAYS, just stopped to say Good luck to everyone who's still trying and know that i'm still thinking about all of you!!  I won't be back trying again for another year in a half or so but i'm going to be stopping by to see who's still here when i get back to trying for our third and final child.  G/L ladies!!! I have missed you all!!!

[LadyJennifer]

Thanks for all the congrats:)

[LovingBaby]

A2E I am feeling more or less the same as you.  I am in the 2WW, maybe 3dpo but am not holding out too much hope.  I think our only BD was a few days before possible O... and I got denied every time after that!  

If it doesn't happen for us this cycle, I think I am going to take a few months off TTC and just not prevent for the next couple of cycles.  I think I will literally go crazy if I continue with ttc without a break at this point!!  

Congrats LadyJennifer HH9 to you! 

Heidi, sorry about early AF.

Steph hope you have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon!!!  Congrats!!

Hi ladies.  First off, congrats to BFPs!  and Merry Christmas, everyone.  I hope you're all having a real nice time.

My chart is a hot mess this cycle --> http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/312802

I woke up with a cold on CD 15 which I think caused high temps for the next few days (that and end of semester alcohol-based celebrations).  I had four days of positive OPKs, although days 2 and 3 (or was it 3 and 4?) of the positive OPKs were MORE positive, so I should probably count those as the surge.  I had almost zero ovulation symptoms, just maybe one twinge once a few days ago, so far no 2WW symptoms (sometimes my boobs get sore almost right away). 

Anyway, after all that I think I'm between 1 and 4 DPO.  Once the new thread appears I'll get myself moved to 2WW. 

[not_telling]

Hi all,

Still at the IL's (stuck here an extra day cuz of east coast snow storm), but did a quick skim of posts (trying to be quick in case anyone comes peeking over my shoulder.)

AFM...CD19 and still no O??!!  DH and I have been getting the job done  but perhaps it's all in vain.  Delayed O?  Anovulatory cycle?  Who knows.  But frustrating.

Anyway, will post more when I'm actually back home.

Congrats to BFP, too.

Hello Lovely Ladies! 

First off, congrats to the BFP's and a belated Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!  to those who AF found.

I am 9 dpo today and I *think* I may actually be pregnant!  I am afraid to get my hopes up, but I got a veeerrrry faint line with fmu this morning, which probably only I can see, and then with smu I got this - can anyone besides me see it?:

[nicolian]

Hi ladies.. jumping in here! DH and I are TTC our third child. This is my first cycle off of BC. I'm thinking I'm around 12dpo. I couldn't help myself and tested a few times already, all bfn. Even though I was expecting it, it's still a bummer. I think I'll wait until this weekend to test again. I got pregnant with DS1 my first cycle off the BC patch and got pregnant with DS2 right after PPAF. I'm wishing and hoping I will be so lucky again.

Thanks for having me! Good luck mamas. Big hugs to those who got AF already.

[nicolian]

Could I be added to Waiting to Know. Thank you!

 I see it! Very faint, but I do see it.

I don't know what I'm looking at... the red line in the pink area?

Welcome Nicolian!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas! We had another tree this morning because SO found the gifts from his mom last night (they were in his closet under some clothes) The kids were pretty thrilled to wake up to a little repeat!

I'm glad I don't have any tests around, I'm so tempted to POAS. But I'm 11DPO, and it's only 2 more days until FF says I can test. I've been sleepy, crampy and grumpy... I had a dream that I got AF, and then procrastinated on getting out of bed yesterday morning because I didn't want to face it! Then SO told me that he had a dream that I was pregnant with boy/girl twins, and I was furious with him in the dream :D I think at this point we're both obsessing! Chart for the interested.

[rockymtnmama]

Welcome, Nicolian!  We are ttc #3, too (my third, dh's 1st!).  Good luck to you this month, I hope there's a BFP in your very near future!!  And thank you for looking at my test.  I know it's super early, but I have taken sooo many of those ic's before and have never even gotten a hint of a line, so I am hoping this is the start of a real, honest to goodness BFP!

Mummoth - Your chart looks good!  I will keep my fingers crossed for you for the next few days, hopefully you'll be getting your BFP soon!  As for my test, what you're looking for is a very faint pink line about a quarter inch to the left of the dark pink one.  I don't blame you if you can't see it, it is reaaaallly light!

[Mummoth]

Ohhhh, yes I can see it now!

[Attached2Elijah]

Is anyone going to put up a new thread? I would do it... but I did it for quite some time just a bit ago and honestly, I know I wouldn't update it enough right now with my lack of TTC enthusiasm... There's no one updating as of right now since Steph is busy getting married... soooooo... if anyone wants updates, we need a new thread and thread keeper.
