Age of LO(s): 4.5 and almost 2


Month/Cycle: 4


CD/DPO: cd1


Timing: n/a


RRCS: I used OPKs and had really good timing but that didn’t do the trick this cycle. I had a pity party for myself last week when I kept getting BFNs. Both my girls were conceived first try and this past cycle’s due date would have been my birthday. I’m focusing on being grateful that my girls were both so easy to conceive and that this is still in the realm of normal.

Age of LO(s):  2.5


Month/Cycle: 3 I think


CD/DPO: cd 19


Timing: I don’t think very good...


RRCS: I keep getting shooting pains in my boobs. I’m trying not to get my hopes up because crappy timing and I do want to dive head first into TWW symptom spotting. The only way I think this could be our month is if I O’d early.

I started looking into wearable fertility monitors... the price is holding me back. The Himoma looks ok for the $100.

Month/Cycle:5?


CD/DPO: 15


Timing: N/A-O should be this week, aiming for EOD


RRCS: Just repeating to myself that it can take a healthy couple one year to get pregnant. Like mishy, we conceived on the first cycle with DD so the ups and downs of TTC are not something I'm familiar with and it sucks! I'm enjoying many glasses of red wine these days and will be downing some mimosas for out snow day tomorrow.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD1. 😭😭😭

Timing: N/A

RRCS: Worst LP ever. Twice I had cramps and light spotting, making me think I had a chance this cycle. NOPE. 😭 No HSG cycle luck for me.

Now just waiting to meet my fertility dr. Jan 26.

Age of LO(s): 2

Month/Cycle: 13/14

CD/DPO: 1 DPO

Timing: -1,+1

RRCS: I has CD 21 blood work on Friday, finally turned an OPK + on Saturday, and presumably O’d on Sunday. My OB’s office calls today to tell me my progesterone was basically zero, and they don’t think I’ll ovulate any time soon.

I filled them in on the OPK, we talked about my funky cycles, and now we repeat blood work this Friday.

I don’t know what is holding me back from transitioning to the RE, but I need to bite the bullet and stop wasting time.

Age of LO(s): 4 next week


Month/Cycle: 3 I guess


CD/DPO: Stupid positive OPK on CD 6 so...CD 14 and somewhere from like 6 to 8 DPO (I was taking a break from temping so who knows...but +OPK on the 8th and then I started temping again on the 11th (when my new thermometer arrived). Based on pervious cycle patterns I'm guessing O was the 9th.


Timing: Crap. If O was CD 7 then we hit O. If it was CD 6 then O+1. If it was CD 9 the O-1. I'm hoping it was O or O-1 but with my luck it was O+1. Yep.


RRCS: I think this whole post qualifies. I'm going to try to start wearing my AVA again despite the stupid rash it keeps giving me. I also bought a CB advanced fertility monitor to try next cycle. And I'm temping and still using other OPKS. I'm not hopeful for this cycle and I need to feel like I have more control. I'm going to make SO start earlier and go later in my cycle next time. I'm going to go broke buying stuff that probably won't make a difference anyways.

Anyone here normally O 1 or 2 days after +OPK? Trying to give myself some hope here.

O is usually 24-36hrs after a +OPK. So you should be ok. I’m just waiting for my Ava Bracelet to get here.

librariangirl Thanks:) I think I missed my first positive reading the day before (I think I would have gotten it on CD5) so I'm worried that I could have O'd the evening of CD 6...in which case DTD on the evening of CD 8 would be too late. I don't know why I'm obsessing. I either caught O or I didn't...either way chances this month are still slim. We had 8 cycles of almost perfect timing before we coceived our loss. Just venting.

You'll love your AVA! I'm allergic to the sensor on mine bit other than that it's awesome:)

Sorry for CD1:(

[akwild]

sammysam would it work if you put like a layer of aqufor or liquid bandage between you and the sensor? Would that mess with the reading?

[sammysam]

akwild They said it has to be against your skin or it messes with the readings. I might try one more time...MsG gave me a few thinges to try but if it doesn't work then I'm giving up on it. I love it...it makes things so easy to track...but after I wear it my wrist looks like a radioactive bomb exploded next to it. If it doesn't get better with my next attempt I'm happy to send it your way if you're not out of here by then:)

Trigger shot at the RE on CD12

Timing: ehhh. Had an IUI on CD12. RE recommended we have sex that night too but H was sick, so we didn’t.


RRCS: not hopeful for this cycle. H had so much stress that his sperm count was way down this month. Despite that, hope springs eternal. Sperm motility was up so maybe? Trying to keep my hopes in check.

By some miracle I've stopped bleeding. For now? I hope that's it. So...waiting to O? With only having been "pregnant" for a few days, I doubt I need much time to physically recover. So I'm ready to jump back in.

[teambrink]

Yogurt,sucks that you are back here. I'm glad to see you are feeling ready to try again soon. Hoping your stay is short.

Age of LO(s): 2 yrs


Month/Cycle: 3?


CD/DPO: 1/? 3 super long cycles while weaning, 2 regular cycles, then this past month was 9 days late. ugh. No idea when I'm Oing at this point.

Timing: n/a


RRCS: Hi, I'm new here! First kid we basically got lucky on the first try just from using a calendar, now I'm trying to figure out what's up with my body since my cycle is all over the place since I started weaning in Aug/September (have been fully weaned since October). Just ordered a BBT a pack of OPKs, hoping I can get a little help from those. Mostly just feeling really frustrated with my body that it looked like I was back to normal and now not so much.
