This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW.

As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate. 

Feel free to add a little intro to help us get to know you better;)

[sammysam]

Month/Cycle: 18/1AL and 10AL


Timing: NA


CD/DPO: NA waiting on CD1 which will likely be next week sometime.


Symptoms: NA


RRCS: So I gave in to SO about giving TFAS one last chance. I'm terrified but I feel like I will regret it if we don't. So I guess I'm back. Sorry for not being around for support the past few weeks. I just needed to step back for a while. I think I'm feeling back to myself now.

sunny75 I'm so hoping for a bfp for you in the next couple of days!

charliefox Good luck this week! I've been thinking about you. I might pick your brain about how you have found the process so far. I'm considering trying to rebook an appointment with the RE if I can.

[purple]

Good to see you, sammysam. I hope your SO is being reasonable.

sunny75, praying for good news!

charliefox, thinking of you and hoping the symptoms aren't too bad.

[purple]

Month/Cycle: Month 31. Cycle 9 AL. Six losses in two years.

Timing: -7, -5, -3, -1.

CD/DPO: CD15. O today.

Symptoms: Ovulation cramps, ovulation nausea, and the most ewcm the world has ever seen.

RRCS: Surely with such good timing and so many symptoms we must be in with a chance this month...?

[honda]

sammysam hoping the best for you!

[honda]

purple good luck!


I'm hoping for O later this week! We should be able to follow smep to the letter this month. The last couple of months we haven't been together every day we needed to dtd.

[sammysam]

Thanks honda I'm torn as to weather we do smep or EOD only this time. I have gotten pregnant twice with smep and the last time with EOD only. I guess I'll try to play it by ear.

purple You definitely need to be out of here soon! I think they say September is a good month for getting pregnant:)

How many of you are temping? I'm trying to decide if I should temp again or just do my OPKs. I'm not sure temping really added much to the process for me...but I also like feeling that I'm actively doing something. So I'm torn.

And I am not buying any more hpts. I have 2 digis left from earlier this year so maybe that will stop me from testing early.

[honda]

sammysam I temp. It gives me something to obsess over 🤣

Yeah. That's where I'm leaning too. With my bfp at the start of June my temp dropped significantly the day I got my bfp and I thought I was out. Which made me question why I was temping...but then how else can I obsess over FF pregnancy charts if I don't have one to compare it to:)

[charliefox]

sammysam, nice to see you around these parts I'm glad you've given yourself time to heal a bit. Feel free to pick my brain anytime! I'd be more than happy to help.
purple, /ded at "the most ewcm the world has ever seen."


Month/Cycle: 25/7AL


Timing: IVF


CD/DPO: Stims day 10


Symptoms: all the hormones = all the symptoms. Nausea, headache, sore breasts, fatigue, cramps, bloating, pain, bruises, and on and on and on. DS lifted my shirt earlier today and goes "Oh NO! You're all purple and yellow and green" Uh, yup, that's was 3 injections a day does to you.


RRCS: Today is stims day 10. - which is the average day that people trigger but it looks like I'll need at least another day of stims if not 2. Egg retrieval will most likely be Thursday or Friday. Haven't heard from the nurses yet, will update with the actual numbers from today when they call.

[nerdalert]

sammysam, GL with this cycle. Not temping here, just because I never remember. I barely remember to take my prenatal.

purple, FX'd for all those symptoms! I feel you on the O cramps. If you are DTD while O cramping, color me impressed.

charliefox, hope you get good news.

[nerdalert]

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Timing: -5, -1

CD/DPO: 20/6DPO

Symptoms: Cramps, but the rest of it is all muddled cause we all have colds again.

RRCS: Wish I'd invested in the cheapo preg sticks like last time, but just gonna wait til this time next week to test.

[charliefox]

Nurse called, my estrogen has finally shot up (they were fairly low this whole time) and I have a few follicles that are just about mature but there are also a bunch around 13mm that they are waiting for (need to be 18mm). I have another ultrasound in the morning but it's most likely I'll need 2 more days of meds.

12 follicles in total still but the smallest few won't be mature unless they have some big growth spurts. Will know more tomorrow but most likely looking at Friday for egg retrieval.

[sarahh]

sammysam, I have everything crossed for you

purple, hopefully this is your month!

charliefox, I'll be thinking of you on friday!


Month/Cycle: 4/4

Timing: n/a

CD/DPO: CD6. One more day of Femara

Symptoms: n/a except a headache

RRCS: I hope this month doesn't lead to more mid cycle bleeding. That really threw me off. I was going to start temping this month but I can't find my thermometer and I really don't want to have to order another one. So anticipate me regretting this toward the end of my cycle.

[sunny75]

charliefox, I hope your smaller follicles catch up!

purple, Fx this is your cycle! It looks promising so far.

sammysam, good luck this cycle and I'm so glad to see you back!

[sunny75]

****TW****

I finally tested last night at 15 dpo and to my surprise I got a BFP! I spent yesterday thinking CD1 would be here at any minute because I was having such bad cramping so I really couldn't believe it at first.

[sarahh]

Yay! Congrats sunny75!

[Yogurt]

Congrats sunny75!!!!

[sammysam]

Yay sunny75 I had a feeling this was your month. So so so excited for you!!! I'll be lurking your BMB for the next 9 months:)

[sammysam]

sarahh I hope you find your thermometer! Were you temping in your other cycles? I might not temp for the first cycle and see how that goes...maybe I'll be less obsessive...or like you said maybe I'll regret it later on:/

[sarahh]

sarahh , I temped when we were trying years ago and I got really obsessive. So I haven't been doing it this time around but I'm wondering if I would get a little more insight if I did.

ETA: I'm going to leave it because I tagged myself but I meant to tag you sammysam haha

[purple]

Oh wow, sunny75, that's amazing! Congratulations!

[charliefox]

Congrats sunny75!!

[charliefox]

Had my least favorite NP for my ultrasound this morning. She walked in and before she checked anything she goes "so you'll be triggering tonight?" and I was like uhhhh, they said probably tomorrow. So she checks my follies and goes, "yeah probably tonight, you have 3 nice big ones".

Um, this is IVF... 3 "big" ones does not an IVF cycle make. There are still a bunch (like 6-8) in the 10-14 range that could catch up if you gave them a day or two. When I questioned it she was like "well, I guess your doctor will let you know, she's the boss anyway". Grrr, I don't like that NP.

Sooooo, still looking at triggering tonight or tomorrow, for an egg retrieval either Thurs or Fri.

[honda]

Congrats sunny75

[honda]

I got a glob of ewcm today. I swear if I O earlier this month I'm going to scream.

[sunny75]

Thanks everybody!

charliefox, Did she think you were doing an IUI? She sounds kind of annoying.

charliefox , Did she think you were doing an IUI? She sounds kind of annoying.

She knows I'm doing IVF, afterwards she talked to me about my meds and what I would need for tomorrow. It's odd, at first glance she seems nice enough but she totally rubs me the wrong way. 

[quinstar]

Congratulations sunny75, that's amazing! I'm going to try and be strong like you and wait to test as long as possible this cycle.

Month: 3
Timing: 0, +1
CD/DPO: 20/2
Symptoms: Nothing really
RRCS: Just supper pissed at myself for not BD sooner. We were going to start every other day starting at CD 14, and it just didn't end up happening. At least we got what we did, but I wish we'd gotten one other day.

[sammysam]

charliefox That NP sounds super annoying. I hate when people who are supposed to know what they're talking about don't.

sarahh I love that you tagged yourself. And I love that I stared at it for like 30 seconds trying to figure out if there was another poster with the same screen name that you were trying to tag:/ First day back at work. My mind is already fried!
