Happy early Valentine's Day! This year, I would LOVE to see some of us graduate from here. (Get it? Valentines, love...? I'm hilarious  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. Month/Cycle: Timing: CD/DPO: Symptoms: RRCS: |

Timing: My fertile week (according to my tracker app) isn’t for two more weeks so we have a little more time.
CD/DPO: NA
Symptoms: NA
RRCS: I’m hesitant because DS2 is so wild lately but I feel like if we keep waiting for the boys to be less crazy....we’ll never do this lol.

Month/Cycle: 10/11
Timing: n/a
CD/DPO: CD 6
Symptoms: n/a
RRCS: A girl that works for me did IVF last month and is pregnant and cautiously optimistic. And another girl in my department just gave birth yesterday. So my baby fever is back in full force but my optimism on it actually happening is negative. I'm really trying to be positive but I'm finding it really difficult lately.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
Timing: waiting to O
CD/DPO: CD 10
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I’m temping this month for the first time since my cycles have been weird lately. Last time I temped and charted it made me more anxious but this time I feel like it’s helping me chill out a bit. I’m sure that will change once I’m in the TWW!

Month/Cycle: 2/2
Timing: I *think* -4, -1, +1. I did a terrible job with ovulation test strips this month so that’s just a guess based on my tracking app.
CD/DPO: CD 21, 5ishDPO?
Symptoms: nothing
RRCS: we decided we want to move before DD starts kindergarten in the fall so we have been working on getting our house ready to list and checking out some houses on the market where we want to move to. That plus extreme cold weather have made this month a bit chaotic

TW POAS Talk ***** I got a squinter this morning and I'm terrified it is going to end in a MC like last time. DH shut down when I told him I took a test and saw a faint second line. He basically said not to get our hopes up and he wanted to see how the next week plays out.
I hate that he doesn't have anyone to talk to about all this besides me.
I also hate that we are scared to be excited or hopeful. |

musicallyinclined hugs and well wishes for you. Month/Cycle: 3 years - some benching for non-reproductive health stuff. CPs in June and September. In stims phase of first IVF cycle. Timing: N/A. CD/DPO: CD 8 Symptoms: Headaches, tiredness, bloating. I've done inflatables a few times now and each time, I have felt terrible. This is no exception and this protocol is kicking my behind. RRCS: I have another follicle scan tomorrow morning, but it looks like my retrieval will be early-mid next week. I'm feeling so crappy right now though that I'm kind of hoping things look good tomorrow and we can do the retrieval Sunday/Monday just to get it over with and let my body recover from stims before frozen transfer.

I have a question about opks. I use wondfo tests. So I took a bunch this week. Tuesday there were two similar colored lines, Wednesday they were definitely the same. So I would say that Wed was a positive. So does that mean I ovulate on Wed or is it Thurs? I used to count it as Wed but now I'm wondering if it's really the following day.

Lurker The positive test (to my knowledge) means you will likely ovulate within 24-48 hours. Temping would help confirm. To me it meant it was time to get busy because I was at -1 or -2 when I got the positive opk. |

Yogurt, thanks! I've been using these tests for a while and it just recently dawned on me that I didn't really know what the positive test meant. Haha

TW **POAS** (I don’t know how to spoiler, someone can mod abuse if needed)
I got a faint but clear positive on a wondfo this morning! Was completely not expected as it took us almost a year to get pregnant with DS (although DD was the second month trying)
Hesitantly excited as I had two losses before DS. We are also in the midst of listing our house, hopefully selling, buying and moving so 😳

Just wanted to add that there is an app called Premom and you can take pics of your strips and it will tell you if it’s positive/peak and add your ovulation automatically. This is my first month using this specific app but so far I am enjoying being able to see the line progression without having to save the strips 🙂 |
