Can you please move me to waiting to know.  I was a little unclear on ovulation this month. My changes were slow rather than a pretty clear and rapid transition.  My CM was sort of a mix of fertile and nonfertile for 2 days and my temps were slowly rising those two days instead of a really huge temp spike.  But, I still think our timing was pretty good. We probably could have Bd another day at the end, but we just weren't up for it. I'm trying to be much more zen about the whole thing this month.  If it's meant to be, it'll happen and if not, then it wasn't going to even if our timing was perfect and everything was in place.  So we'll see.  I've sort of accepted in my mind that I'm not going to be pregnant before my next follow up appointment with my OB in August so I'm just sort of waiting until then to get more tests run and see what our next steps might be.  

[Stevi]

Thank you for the new Thread!

And thank you all for the commiserations.

I'm doing okay this time, I knew my chances  were pretty nil.

It's strange, TTC has become alomost a hobby for me, instead of the all consuming obsession it once was. Like most hobbies there are times when I'm more into it than other times. My obsession to have children hasn't lessoned in the least, just the drive to create my own. I still work very hard on becoming financially able to Foster and from there Adopt. It's why I work so hard on my education, and still plan everything I do around how it will effect being able to Foster/Adopt.

Think Fertile Thoughts!

[belacmsage]

Thanks for the new thread Sourire! Oh, and I loved your wedding pictures! I got married 4/10/10 and I still haven't gotten our wedding book together. 

Stevi: So sorry AF found you again. I am happy someone else shares my desire to foster/adopt too.

[remark71]

Thanks for the new thread Sourire and the album was beautiful.  I have been up north since Wednesday night, not a fun vacation.  When we got to my husband's family house there was no water as the pump and several pipes broke.  He spent all day Thursday fixing the pump and trying to get water to at least one toilet and kitchen sink.  What a way to spend your anniversary.  Well I think that I have finally stop spotting from the D&C and can now move forward with everything.  I am hoping to catch the first cycle but not sure that will happen.  I have a follow-up with my doctor on Friday. 

I hope June is a good month for all of us and would like to see several BFP's.  Take Care everyone and good luck.

[BubbleMa]

Thanks for new thread!

remark, sorry about your crappy anniversary trip.  :( 

[cygknit]

Souire, could you put me in waiting to know? Thanks :)

I had an awesome day with my older son, while the little one was with his dad and auntie vising their mom. It was perfect, and I could forget that I was 4 dpo and will be for a while.

[TenzinsMama]

Stevi, you sound like you are in a good place, all things considering with the arrival of AF.  I admire your positive attitude, and your ability to stay focused on your goal of someday being a foster/adoptive mama all the while keeping hopeful for a BFP of your own.  Also, thanks for starting the new thread!  I've come to really look forward to hearing how everybody is doing, and it helps me to get through this roller coaster of ttc'ing.

Sourire, your album is SO nice!  It makes me want to forget about trying to scrapbook, and just go to photobooks.  I know that it still is a lot of work, though-- they just look so polished!  Your wedding looks like it was such a beautiful time.

Remark71, glad to hear that things look like they are returning to normal for you with your cycle. 

AFM, I've got nothing new to 'report'... no news is good news right now, I guess!  Just have to patiently wait.   

[PrenatalCoach]

I'm 8 DPO and my 'normal' spotting that starts 5 days prior to AF arriving started today.... perhaps this means I'm not pregnant this cycle. We'll see. I have no idea if I'll still get the spotting when I'm pregnant or if the absence of spotting will alert me to the possibility that I'm pregnant *just thinking out loud* TTC is a lesson in cultivating patience I'll tell ya! ;)

[Dandy Lion]

Thanks for the new thread Sourire.

Stevi: I'm sorry AF found you :(

Remark: That sucks about your anniversary! Good luck in the new cycle.

PrenatalCoach: I hear ya on the patience thing, and once we conceive we still have another 9 months of waiting!

AMF: I have no idea what's going on! My CM yesterday was crazy (I'm about to share TMI!). I undressed for a shower, and I had 6 inches of booger-like stuff hanging down. It was just pale yellow, so I don't think it was a sign of infection or anything, but wow. Then, right before I went to bed I had a brownish clump in my panties, and I was spotting just a little when I wiped. My temp had a major dip this morning too, but no signs of spotting this morning. Spotting isn't a normal thing for me except right after rough sex and when AF is trying to end.

[Sourire]

Wow... I started spotting yesterday at 5DPO, and I am still spotting today. Normally I start spotting at 7 DPO, or 6DPO if I'm really unlucky, but 5DPO is a new low. So much for Clomid helping. DH and I were so upset when we found out yesterday that we started getting into fights about EVERYTHING... we spent most of the day mad at each other....

sigh...

[tantylynn]

Thanks for the new thread! No time for personals right now, but I'll check back in soon! xx

Dandy Lion, I'm no expert but that sounds really good!

Souire, that's just crazy :( I'm so sorry. It's hard when your body just refuses do to what you want it to. I hope today goes better for you and your doctor can help get this straight for you, if not now, then next month.

Hi guys...you can move me back to Waiting to O . I probably really belong in WTF IS GOING ON - though I'm really trying to remain more optimistic than that and I don't want to be there all by myself  My increasing temps must have just been a fluke. Yesterdays was way low and I tried to ignore it because I hadn't really had 3hrs consecutive sleep (even though that would probably make it falsely higher huh). Another thing that got me thinking I may not have O'd was that even after my EWCM dried up my cervix remained high and never moved down to low or became firm like it should/usually does after O'ing Anyways, I woke up yesterday with a ton of creamy CM and by evening I was having pretty bad cramping/pains so I checked again and sure enough it had turned to EW and I was definitely HSO. 

All of this thinking I am O'ing has become emotionally tiresome. I need to get out of my head so I can enjoy the BDing again. It makes me sad to think that most of you are already on a second cycle and second chance while I am still waiting. I'm also sad that I only have 1 Preseed applicator left because I used them all on the BDing that never amounted to anything 

This morning's temp was way low again. OPK was positive (or was it? you know me and my OPK drama. Plus the fact I am always gearing up to O so it seems they are always positive). Cramping all night and still. I'll check CM and cervical position after DH's leftovers have cleared out - I'm so paranoid now that if I check to early I might disturb any remaining swimmers LOL!

Sorry to be AAM. I'm going to enjoy my family today and maybe personals later.

Oh, want to see something sad? http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/SilaMarila 

[Stevi]

Belacmsage...   It is nice to know that others are headed the same direction. :)

TenzinsMama...   Thank you. I don't always sound so positive, when I allow myself to get down in the dumps it doesn't help anything, so I try very hard to stay upbeat.

SilaMarila...   Have you considered trying the every other day method? It's pretty simple, you BD every other day throughout your cycle. It may relieve some of the stress that your crazy cycles are giving you. Hugs!

Think Thankful Thoughts for those who Served!

[Sourire]

Sila - I'm so sorry you have to go through all this, it sounds a lot more stressful than my problems.

OMG, I just googled implantation bleeding, and that describes what I'm experiencing exactly. If I did ovulate on cd12, then I would be 6pdo now and it implantation would be possible. Now how to hell do I keep myself from getting my hopes up too much. It's still not clear if I even ovulated at all.
 

[brichole1214]

Thanks for the new thread!!!  I hate that several of the cycles here are going crazy!!!!   I think AF needs to jump off a TALL bridge!!!! 

I'm on CD 16 and i still don't know if i have Oed.   I didn't get a chance to take an OPK 2 days straight because of the move into the new house and that is TOTALLY killing me.  I know that we have gotten plenty of BDing in but still i'm just worried because my cycles have been anywhere from 18 day to 26 days since i got my cycles back from having Emma and so it's frustrating not knowing when i Oed or even when AF is supposed to show up.  I think i've decided that if i haven't seen her by next weekend i'll test...but not until then!!!  I have got to save the 8 hpts i have at the house for a cycle WORTH obsessing over lol.  I am trying to find my BBT therm. as we are unpacking so i can start temping if/when AF shows up...that way i can FINALLY get on a normal schedule of taking my temp and seeing the rise and falls.  I've only been able to temp 1 full cycle since Emma was born and it's driving me MAD!!! I am so excited that i'm completely off night shift though and i'm only going to be working my day shift hours from now on. (unless they need me to come in and work a little OT!!)  

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day and take care!!!  I'm about to be headed to the house to enjoy my two off days!!!

[SilaMarila]

DandyLion - I just looked at your chart and if you really did O on CD12 todays temp could totally be an implantation dip! 

Stevi - I wish that would work for us. Probably repeating myself but DH works 12hr night shifts right now and we really are only guaranteed to BD on his off days. We do see each other for about 2 hrs on his work days and have managed to BD a few times when I thought I was Oing and DS was in his nap. But often it doesn't happen because he has things to do before work or we can't figure out how to keep DS occupied. Maybe I will talk to DH and see if we can figure some kind of better "schedule" out...

Brichole any suggestions? I know you work similar shifts how do you guys do it? Yay for going to days though!!! I'm a little late but congrats on moving into the new house!!!

I have just been feeling really off since Wed. Terrible headaches, dizziness, nausea...bleh. I feel completely unbalanced. I'm not going to be able to go to acupuncture until Thurs (because of DH's schedule and we are a one car family). She said she wanted to get me started on some herbs though...hopefully I survive until then. Thanks for the hugs guys.
