Thanks for the new thread! It's pretty easy to keep it going and lots of women have thread keeper's luck!

Thanks for the new thread!

Monday Check-In
Name: Jasmine
Date: 5-2-11
Chart: Not right now
Where are you in your cycle: CD 16
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: None really.
Testing: Just OPKs
Thoughts: I should be Oing here in the next couple of days but something seems "off". I don't really know what is going on.

[SilaMarila]

Monday Check-In

Name: SilaMarila

Date: 5/2/2011
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/SilaMarila I started a FF chart for reals this time.
Where are you in your cycle: CD7 AF is officially gone and begins the wait to O...
Appointments: N/A .going to call my ins and see about acupuncture coverage then call some acupuncturists and see if I can start soon
Symptoms if they apply: N/A. I'm in that part of my cycle where I start obsessively checking for CM and signs of O'ing...
Testing: I bought 20 OPK strips and when CM starts changing I will start them 
Thoughts: I have NO idea when I am going to O. But  it's well before CD70 this time!!!! "Normal" for me would be around CD20-25, but I don't know what normal is anymore. I'm still doing Maca, and Evening Primrose oil, and am going to start juicing grapefruits everyday. Oh and I also bought some Preseed that I'm really excited to use! DH and I are excited this time around, which I think is a good sign. I just hope that my body doesn't gear up to O like 3 times before it actually does. That was exhausting.

[SilaMarila]

Thanks Bela! Fingers crossed that's true  and that we'll all get BFP's soon! I just didn't want us to all disappear and not have a thread!

[belacmsage]

Monday Check-In
Name: belacmsage
Date: 5/2/11
Chart: decided not to temp this time except to confirm O
Where are you in your cycle: CD7
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: Nope
Testing: OPKs when CM starts to change
Thoughts: It's our last month to really TTC before I go back to school. Hopefully we'll get our BFP this month! I'm using OPKs, preseed, baby aspirin and thinking about adding maca and/or Vit B.

Check in
Name: Cait
Date: 5.2.11
Chart: linked above, I can't copy/paste from my phone
Where in your cycle are you: cd24, 6dpo
Appointments: acupuncture Wednesday, nothing else
Symptoms: cramping (not like af), tender bbs - maybe a little more than normal, but nothing unlike my typical LP
Testing: depends what I'm feeling, if it doesn't look like AF is on her way, I may on Saturday or Sunday
Thoughts: I'm not spotting like usual, so I guess the acupuncture & tcm is finally working. Trying to be optimistic without getting my hopes up. Time will tell.



Sila-thanks for the new thread! Look into CAN- community acupuncture network, they may have a provider in your area. They only charge 15-40 per visit, you pay what you can afford. That way you can go even if insurance won't cover it.

Date: May 2
Chart: none tracking on phone very basic no temp
Where are you in your cycle: cd 16

Thoughts:  I'm trying not to focus and get so obssesd this cycle, i went to my chiro last week and made some good points.  I need to relax it will happen!  So i'm trying hard to,  I'm taking a dr rons multi, extra vit d, drinking super greens 1-2x/day and drinking fertlitea 2x/day.  I need to add cod liver oil but havent found which one to get!! We dtd more this month around my fertile time but since i didnt follow through with opk not sure when i od,  pretty sure i'm 2-5 days po!   I'm praying by the end of summer will be preggo again!!

Thanks for the new thread SilaMarila

Monday Check-In

Name: FairyMe

Date: 5-2
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/FairyMe
Where are you in your cycle: CD 33 DPO 13
Appointments: Waiting for CD 1 so I can schedule my HSG
Symptoms if they apply: Cramps, big sore boobies, veeeeery moody (DP is steering clear of me...lol)
Testing: BFN 9 DPO and 12 DPO
Thoughts: We timed BD well for the last 2 cycles now. I just don't understand why I haven't received a BFP yet!!!

[jesshrehor]

I would like to be added to the group for TTC #1.

Monday Check-In
Name: Jessica
Date: May 2
Chart: On my iPhone
Where are you in your cycle: CD2
Appointments: None
Symptoms if they apply: Cramps
Testing: NA
Thoughts: I think I may have had a really early miscarriage.  I had really sore breasts that were bigger than normal for almost two weeks, plus a few other things that point to early pregnancy.  I never got a positive test, started bleeding yesterday (which is a little early for a period, but not impossibly so), and I have way worse cramps than normal.  I'm a little sad because I really thought I was pregnant and was getting excited.  We were going to tell our parents on Mother's Day.  

 

[SilaMarila]

 jessrehor!!! You've been added. I hope your stay here is short! You will definitely find support here.

I know how you feel. I also thought for sure I was pg last cycle. Everything seemed perfect and I was having so many symptoms. I never tested, but AF came a few days early (ugh and lasted a few days longer). I cried my eyes out for 2 days. 

[KnittinKitten]

Monday Check-In
Name: Mary
Date: 5/2/11
Chart: On my phone
Where are you in your cycle: 2-3 dpo, cd 19
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: none
Testing: tried to do opks but kept forgetting :(
Thoughts: I've been kinda borderline sick since wednesday, so everything is a little off. I had several days of good cm and timed bd every other day during that time. I've been house/dogsitting for my mom since saturday and my temps have been way off not being in my bed/on my regular schedule, so I wasn't able to confirm o. I have felt from the beginning of this cycle that i wasn't going to get pregnant, but I still put forth my best effort ;). I kept thinking the last 2 cycles that I was going to get a bfp, to no avail, so maybe because I don't feel that it's a good sign? Oh well, we'll see what happens.

Monday Check-In
Name: Christina
Date: 5/2/11
Chart: .I just use the one on mymonthlycycles.com

Where are you in your cycle: CD 15... not sure where I am in the O dept.
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: none
Testing: Nope. Just going to wait and see if AF is a day late, which won't be for another 2 weeks. That's the longest I can stand it.

Thoughts: Part of me wishes I had been paying more attention last week to my CM and then part of me just wants to chill out, relax and just let this happen when it will happen. It's frustrating. With my first child, I was 18 and didn't "TRY" for him at all! Then with my second, we were actively trying and it only took 2 cycles. Of course, I was only 20 back then (I'm 29 now). With my third, there again, we weren't trying. In fact, we were trying to do natural family planning. I thought it wasn't anywhere near my O date, so I thought we were safe, but I was wrong, apparently! I keep feeling nervous that it will take forever since I am older now. I have a friend in her mid 30's who can get pregnant practically just by thinking about it and has never had to try for any of her kids.I am trying to just have fun with it this time around... but it's easy to sit around obsessing too. Le sigh.

[tantylynn]

Welcome Jesshrehor! 

Monday Check-In
Name: tantylynn
Date: 3/5/11
Chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/tantylynn
Where are you in your cycle: CD20
Appointments: none this week...might go into my dr to see if/when she wants me to re-do my U/S
Symptoms if they apply: n/a
Testing: OPKs for 10 days now. Still haven't gotten a true positive but tonight's OPK was definitely the darkest one I've seen so far.
Thoughts: Still just hanging out for O to happen! I was really hoping that the Maca would help shorten my cycle this time around but it doesn't look like it has. I might up my dose next cycle if I am not already started on fertility drugs...Ps. we got in one quiet BD while we were away 

[asprague]

Please add me in too!

Monday Check-In
Name: Amanda
Date: 5/3/11
Chart: NA

Where are you in your cycle: 13DPO
Appointments: none
Symptoms if they apply: Frequent hunger, frequent urination, heavy uterus, moodiness, FATIGUE!
Testing: I tested on Sat, but got neg (too early I hope) and I plan on testing tomorrow!

Thoughts: So excited that I *might* be preggo! But I can't wait to test, tomorrow is just a day away! I had a m/c in Feb/Mar, my first ever and I was 12 weeks! First month trying again, so hopefully we are pg, on the first try! Oh and this will be our third!

[SilaMarila]

 Asprague!!! I hope you get your BFP in a few days and that your stay here is short! We will - or at least I know I will be - checking frequently for an update!!! 

[Gemmine]

Just peeking in at my old friends and new faces. Stalking potential BFPs if you will. Got a positive OPK yesterday/today. We'll see how it goes.
