awww man!  Don't feel dumb, maybe you ended up ovulating later, like I did...

Does this mean that y'all are going to stop trying because of your budget? 3K is the overall average that I have seen with home births and if you wait until later to start seeing a "provider" that might differ the costs. 

Hope y'all figure it out and giving you some extra baby dust just in case you and your DH decide to try again.

Travelmumma-  I'm sorry.  That is a terrible feeling.  I am glad your DH is being so supportive though.  hopefully with 9 months to plan you can figure things out to get the birth you want.  Will your insurance pay any part of a home birth?  Ours considers it "out of network" but with a little arguing they will pay at least part.  Good luck this coming month, whatever you and DH decide.  

I should be entering the 2ww again in the next few days and I am getting impatient.  On your recommendations Travelmumma we are doing the SMEP this month... unbeknownst to DH! :)  I have just been initiating things on that schedule and so far he is just a willing participant.  I don't want to admit to him just how structured I have gotten about the whole thing these days.  hopefully the new approach does the trick!

[travelmumma]

Hey ladies!
Thank you so much for being so supportive!!! Made me so happy you read what you had wrote!!

Ok so new plan!! DH and I sat down this afternoon and went through budget, and not only does it look good, it looks very baby do-able plus some!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!
DH is exceptionally relieved and I am so happy!! We thought our bills were more than our income but they definitely aren't so you can imagine the happiness!!!
So we are still in!!!!!

Would it be weird if I stay hang inherent even tho I don't start my 2ww for 2 weeks ish lol???
Also we are doing SMEP this month too see how we go!!!

HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE.?..

Xxx
Thank you again!!!!

[travelmumma]

Also a question about SMEP-

It seems like I o late- about CD 19... The plan is designed for women who roughly have a 28 day cycle... Should we start BD on CD 8 like it says or later????

What do you think?? Lots of opinions please!

:)

I would start on CD8 also.

I was also researching the theory that DTD every day lowers the sperm count and found out that wasn't true, you can actually increase sperm count by DTD everyday for a week prior to ovulation, because it creates supply and demand, then DTD everyday before and after ovulation.

I'm pretty sure I'm out...just waiting for AF in the next few days .  It's annoying to have such early PMS symptoms because it tells me right away I'm not pregnant! boo.  I have started temping and charting, my temps are so weird!  They don't look like normal charts.  I hope I can get the hang of it before my next cycle.  

Sorry to all the AF's arriving out there! BOOOO.

Hope AF doesn't come! If so, baby dust for next cycle!

AFM:

I think I'm catching a cold and I usually only get sick when AF is coming (due to us women having low immunities during AF), so I'm drinking as much water as possible. I'm still in the 2WW, so that's a good thing.

Hey all, need advice!

I started charting this month.  Today I am on cycle day 19 and I think 3dpo.  On cycle day 16 my bbt was 96.4 (my lowest temp so far and I hovered right around there up until then as well).  Cycle day 17... 96.7   Cycle day 18... 96.7  and today Cycle day 19... 96.8.

I have a 28-29 day cycle and usually O right around day 16. 

MY QUESTION:  Based on those temps and how my temp started slowly rising on day 17, it would make sense that I O'd on day 16, right??  (I also had EWCM days 16-18.)

DH and I BD'd every night for 3 nights until day 16, then we tried on day 16, but he had some troubles... wore the poor guy out I guess. :)  Hopefully some strong swimmers warmly greeted my egg!

And so I am now in the ttw, again, blahhh.

All who chart, please advise :):)  Thank you!

I'm guessing you may have ovulated on CD17.

BD timing looks very hopeful!

HI Mamas I am back again this month, not 100% sure I O'd yet because my temp shift (if it has happened) has not been very noticeable, and I had no cf this month but I did start checking my cervix position and it was low and very open on Monday, Tuesday and then again today so hopefully that means that I already have O'd. Anyway the waiting sucks but at least I have some hope this month, a lot more than last month that's for sure. Good luck everyone!!!

My Ovulation Chart

No CM?... If you were checking CP you would have seen or felt some CM, the purpose of CM is to make a livable environment for semen, have you thought of using pre seed or some of the "techniques" some of the ladies here use to increase CM?

I'm thinking you may have ovulated earlier than the 16th, but will have to see the next weeks temps to make sure.

Well, I'm back in the 2WW.  I think I'm about 7dpo based on EWCM and my OPKs.  AF is due by the end of next week so I'm not planning to test until then.  This is month 3 of TTC.  Good luck everybody!

[heatherparker]

Hello fellow 2WWers! I managed to make it through the first week without testing (yay!) but today I broke down...  I had to test this afternoon after work and of course BFN, but that's not likely to be accurate in the afternoon after I've peed a whole bunch of times, right? I still have four days until AF is overdue so there's still a chance, right?! Good luck everyone! fingers crossed for lots of BFPs!

[cecelia7]

hi all,

i've been on and off here. i think i've had two chemicals in the past couple of months... the good news...after an out of whack thyroid, i think the fact that i conceived is good...am debating clomid...but late in the evening on 9 DPO and now 10 dpo i've had very lite brown, pinkish tinged CM. i checked all 52 charts on my FF account and i've never recorded this before. also this is CD 24 and my earliest period in the last 4.5 years was on CD 26. once.

i'm CD 27-29 almost all the time, with 27.6 being my average.

could this be implantation spotting? if so dare i test?

c.

[karen28]

Hi again all, I hope you are well-

Could someone please look at my chart and tell me what you think? (This is my first chart!) 

Fertility Friend is telling me I O'd on the exact day I thought I did (CD16), so that's good!... because I started having doubts until I input all of the data from my paper chart.

According to FF, I'm 7dpo and have been very gassy all day with light cramping on the right side.  I was very constipated (sorry tmi) for the last two days, so I drank some organic tea (that is meant to loosen things up) yesterday evening, so perhaps I'm simply gassy today because of that.

NOT getting my hopes up, I've learned my lesson.

Anyway, please look at my chart    Thank you!

I am back into the 2ww.  Trying hard not to be too hopeful but we definitely timed things really week so I am crossing my fingers.  I have to hold out until at least 10 dpo this month, so hard!   But I have been breaking down and testing and then having AF show up the next day so I have learned my lesson (easy to say now... we will see how my restraint is on 8-9 dpo!)  Good luck to all those testing soon.

[heatherparker]

Ugh, this wait is one of the worst I've had so far! I'm on CD30, have no idea how many DPO because I quit charting for the month, and still no sign of AF! We didn't BD much at all this month so I highly doubt I'm pregnant. Every morning I tell myself I'm not going to test today, so I don't, but then I freak out later and test at the least accurate time. all BFN:( The longest cycle I've ever had is 31 days, so I'm really hoping I will just get my period already so I can stop waiting for it! I feel like I'm going crazy!

I hope everyone else is having a better time!

 I keep doing the same thing. I'm on CD 28 and I keep waking up and deciding not to test and then in the afternoon doing it anyway and of course getting BFNs.  My longest cycle is like 33 days so I still have a week to go.

The more we BD the longer my cycles get, last cycle was 35 days (up from 28 days) and today I'm on CD40! I've been sooo good this entire 2WW, but I think I may be going POAS crazy really soon... I'm so tempted to use the 5 tests in the house just so I don't have an left, trying to hold out until wednesday, we'll see how long I last.

Good luck to you!
