"Can't wait to head over to the 2ww and then get REALLY obsessive. I'm sure I have every pregnancy symptom know to woman and may not even have ovulated yet."

I know EXACTLY what you mean! I swear I have been doing a lot of touchy feely of my breasts, sniffing everything around me to see if it is "stronger", wondering if these hunger pains are due to a baby growing in me, etc, etc. It is crazy.

I think I definately must have O'd last week. I had one day of mucho, mucho ewcm and that same day saw a lot of ferning on my ovulite! Since then I haven't seen squat on my ovulite and still have some creamy and/or wet cm, but nothing like last Thursday.

I don't know if I will make it two more weeks! Lots of meditation. That's what I need. :LOL

[Oceanone]

Hee, hee, I thought you said - lots of MEDICATION. Yeah, that would do the trick, just knock us out for two weeks and make it easier on us. Oh, wait, that's not good for the baby. :

Hi all,

I've never been on this board before. Hubby and I are now officially TTC#2 and I hope it doesn't take 10 months like it did with DS(now 26 months). I have very long cycles that are around 44-45 days and so I don't O until cd28 or later. It makes for such long hard waiting. Plus, I've only had 2 cycles since my son was born. I didn't notice any ewcm but I did have a + OPK last month. I figure starting around April 11th or so we'll BD for like two weeks straight, or at least try to Interesting to note that my son was conceived in April 3 years ago!

If I don't catch the egg in April or May I have to wait again until July. Due to my long cycles and how they land I've figured that I'll skip June completely with no O. Having long cycles is pure torture!

Welcome Vanessa. Hope your stay here is short and sweet!

Oceanone :LOL Meditation not Medication! I haven't taken any meds for years, and don't plan on it anytime soon, but at times like this a little sedative-like feeling would sure be nice!

Sending you all my love( but I am keeping the baby dust until April 5th at least )

Stepping off the wagon

And we'd just stepped on Saw my ob/gyn today for an annual and a check on my fibroids. He says they're pretty large (1st check a year ago said my uterus was 12 week size, today he says it's 14 week size, although size can vary depending on where I am in my cycle and closer to ovulation = larger, so that could be the reason for the larger size).

He wants to do a pelvic MRI to see location and size more clearly. At this stage, because of the size, he's leaning towards surgery prior to pregnancy. He said they can sometimes double in size during pregnancy and make things extremely uncomfortable and painful at times. Sigh. If they need to do surgery, he recommends waiting 2-3 months before TTC. That's not as long as I had expected, so that's good news.

MRI is scheduled for Thursday, so we'll see. And this was fertility week Waaahhh! Oh well, things could certainly be worse, so we'll take it one step at a time.

Thanks for listening!

jumping in!

Yesterday I got my first after the m/c, so I am officially in the march pre -o. I have long cycles, so I am hoping for a January

[Oceanone]

Hi all,

Welcome Vanessa. Long cycles must be such a drag, I completely agree. The whole 30 day wait seems like a lot to me! I hope you do catch that April egg. What an appropriate Spring month to catch an egg. I have my fingers crossed for you.

LisaG. Sorry to hear about your fibroids. I have one too, smaller though. And it did increase in size during my last pregnancy and it did cause me a little pain, but no trouble or danger thankfully. I hope you can get it resolved and then you just won't have to worry about it. Sorry, though. I know it must be hard to watch another fertile week go by.

Welcome naotalba. So sorry about your m/c. I hope for a january baby for you too.

Adina, where are you and are you doing ok?

I am going to head over to the 2ww board now as I calculate, in my own, imprecise way (not temping), that I am 2dpo today. Hooray! I will see you all there soon.

[Astrid]

Hello
I am CD6 on month 4 of TTC #2
This is my first month of charting and trying to temp with a very interrupted sleep schedule. I have short cycles so I am hoping to be able to find out when/if I O and see if I have a long enough luteal phase.
Who would have thought it would be so complicated :

[Kleine Hexe]

I'm on CD11 so I have about 17 more days to go before I'm close to O. *sigh*

[AdinaL]

I'm still here!!
Things are going fine. Last day of clomid was today - so hopefully O will happen shortly. I have my ultrasound appt on Friday to check my follicles and then bd like crazy!

So just waiting, drinking my green tea and waiting. At least it is a short wait time - unlike non clomid cycles....waiting until cd 40 to O was a little out of hand.

I am feeling a little disheartened about the whole thing. I am really not sure why I am not getting pg. All my levels are fine, hormonally, we have really hit the O date at least 9 times in the year we have been doing this and been pretty close the rest of the time. I just don't get it. And not even a blip...not even a hint of a +. i dunno. Just feeling like it is never going to happen...like it wasn't meant to be. Which of course sets of a round of tears and so on... Ick..Can't shake the depression about this. I think I thought thw Clomid was going to be my magic bullet and that would allow me to get pg. And it didn't - so not sure what will help.

Anyway - thanks for listening to me !

Good luck to all entering the 2ww and hope the O fairy visits you all soon!!

[jgale]

I've been lurking a lot and posting occasionally and I just wanted to say Adina, I'm so sorry you're going through this. It seems like an incredibly painful process. I wish you the best of luck in this cycle--and I hope you feel better soon. All the ladies here seem great, and I'm glad we all have this place to get and give support. Anyway, like I said, good luck and feel better!
Baby dust!

[Oceanone]

Adina.

I don't know what else to say. You know our hopes are with you too. I guess I will see you over at the 2ww then.

[AdinaL]

Sorry for my earlier post. I realized about two hours later that I felt the same way as I did when I was on the pill....moody, weepy, depressed, lazy and hungry. I was wondering when the side effects of the hormone altering drugs would kick in. I was guessing it would be this cycle, and I was right. I feel better knowing that is probably what it is. This is why I stopped taking the pill too. I get wacky when my body has too much estrogen. Hopefully I will just get freaking pg this cycle and I won't have to worry about it!

ugh - i literally feel like I am crazy. oh well...all in the name of a good cause right?

[wolfmom]

hey adina, sorry to hear your difficulties. i just wanted to say hello and let you know that i'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us this month. i'm only cd 4 so you're a little ahead of me but i'll be looking for you!

[LisaG]

Adina,

So sorry to hear about your frustrations. Don't want to pry or get too personal, but after all your efforts has hubby been checked?

Good luck and seding you lots of baby dust

Lisa

[AdinaL]

No problem - Hubby has been checked. he is a little low but not to the point that the doc was worried. I am just guessing that it hasn't been right yet. Hopefully it will catch this month and all will be good! Thanks for all your well wishes!

Hello All, I have a question.
I took an opk on CD10 and it was a faint line, which I think means negative. Well here it is CD14 and I took another one to see if the line was darker. Well, there was no line. I know opk's messure LH levels. With no line does that mean that I could have ovulated yesterday? Yesterday I had some slight EWCM and my cervix was open but not soft. Today my temps are still low and my cervix is open and a little softer, and still have slight EWCM.
Y'all could I have already O'd, or am I on the verge of O?
I guess I need to be patient and see what my temp does tomorrow. Just want to make sure I don't miss it!

[Arduinna]

Adina, wow soory to say I can sooo relate. It is for a good cause, but that doesn't make it easy while your doing it. That stuff literally made me feel nuts.

11dpo and have pms. should get af monday. But honestly considering dropping out permanantly. Had a beautiful morning running errands alone and blasting the car stereo. The joys of having a teen

[chrissy]

OT, Arduinna, I love your sig! So true.

Peace and eggs to all,

[Arduinna]

thanks layORmama

eggies to all that are waiting to O!!
