I'd love some company while waiting to O...

Today is the 1 CD of a brand new TTC Cycle!

Hope it goes well!

I'll keep you company

I'm on CD 7 but won't even be able to try until next month when honey is home on his 2 week R&R leave from Kuwait.

This month I'm going to be trying out B6, progesterone cream and visualization to push back af so maybe i'll be on schedule with him coming home

(currently my fertile period is scheduled to end two days before he arrives)

I'm on CD 4. I'm really hoping I have a good LP this cycle (last month was only 8 days) because if we don't catch that egg this month we have to wait until July to try again because dh and I will be separate by 2,200 miles (make DTD a little hard

). Good luck to you.

I am on CD 3. But I Ovulate Late- so I have a way to go yet.

And I don't even know when I ovulate!!! Or at least, I definitely got it wrong last cycle. We dtd on day 14 and past it. Clearly, it was too late. It appears that I may actually ovulate early. I definitely had ovulation pain around day 12... Anyway, this cycle we are getting to "work" starting with day 10, damn it!

Ladies whose dhs are far away, my heart goes out to you... I can't imagine...
I wish your timings are perfectly aligned with your dhs returns!!!

Let's hang in there together!!!

I'm thinking, the next 10 days are going to be time to look deep inside and to try and connect with my little eggs and get a good sense of where my body is at and what it needs to feel ready for baby...

Sooooo.... how do you keep busy when you are waiting?????

 

[kparker]

I'm on CD 1 now! Cycle buuuuuddies.

I keep busy by rooting for the TWW'ers

What a wicked period I've had so far! Highly unusual - loads of cramps and bleeding... and SO EFFIN' RAGING MAD! I mean, I've found myself incredibly irritable... good thing my dd's were with the in-laws today. I'm feeling really impatient too. I wonder if it's still cause I'm disappointed from not conceiving or what... gotta get a handle on it!

In the meantime, we're talking about whether to start TTC as soon as the potential fertile phase starts, which for me, in the past, has been starting with CD 10... OR wait till I get a bit closer to O in order to increase chances of having a boy... but then I'm worried that if we wait - and I still don't know when exactly I ovulate - than we might miss it again. Last month we DTD on day 14, which, by my rather rough calculations, could have been just after O... but clearly that wasn't the case... SOooooo... do we take a chance and try for a boy or say, who the hell cares and just go for it????? Except, the thought of three teenaged daughters in a house 15 years from now... AGH!!!

:

What do you think??? OR DO you think about TTC for a gender at all??? Kinda seems a bit vain to me...

I have a couple of girlfriends that are blessed with several daughters. Their husbands have understandably longed for a son; they fulfill that need by taking their girls fishing, snowmacining, x-country skiing... its very cute. So I was thinking that your DH may be excited at the effort you guys can take in conceiving a son- and if you are granted a daughter- at least you tried and were just meant to have girls! lol. So, no- I don't think it is vain to try for a specific gender, I think it is sweet of you try for a boy. It is somewhat in our hands to guide our fertility toward the direction we desire. TTC or TTA. Why not boy or girl? Right? At least we have fun trying.....

Forgot to mention: we are cycle buddies

Hey ladies,
I think I'm tired of waiting... sooooo.... I'm going to forget about it for the next 10 days!

See you then!
