I hope it's okay if I start this one.
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: 30ish?
Timing: -2, -3
CD/DPO: 31/14
Symptoms: The slightest spotting for the last 4 days but no cramping or anything that indicates AF is on the way. I only used OPKs this cycle (as we sit here waiting to start IVF #2) and had 2 days of positive OPKs. In the past I've ovulated on the day of +OPK, up to 2 days after the last + one so I could be only 12-13 dpo (LP is usually 11-13 days). If AF doesn't show tomorrow I'll probably test on Monday.
RRCS: WTAF is going on with my body.

A literal streak of spotting and then nothing since.

Month/Cycle: 6/6
Timing: high- I think- see below
CD/DPO: according to FF I am cd30/14dpo but I think maybe I o’d On cd18 instead of 16 to put me at 12dpo
Symptoms: none- some spotting Friday so I though yesterday was going to be cd1 but nothing yet and my temp was up this morning but I temped 3 hours later than usual because I was so sure I would wake up to AF.
RRCS: I keep going back to ‘which day did I really O’ but I don’t think it matters much this cycle since I got a BFN yesterday.
ETA I don’t know if this will work but trying to link my chart
Nope didn’t work

I've been absent, but I'm coming in with a question.
What kind of lube do you use? We tried preseed and it gave me yeast infections. We typically use astroglide but I know it's not ttc friendly.

Month/Cycle: a million. 3+ year process so far I pretty much just LT'ed while on vacation, jumping in now Timing: n/a - IVF CD/DPO: CD9 Symptoms: nausea, headaches, and moodiness from the estrace RRCS:I am so glad we got away last week/this week in between retrieval and transfer. It was nice to have a break from dealing with RE appointments and labs and shots etc. Tomorrow I get my lining checked and then transfer will probably be mid-late next week. I'm feeling much calmer about this than I anticipated. I am getting anxious about eating like I'm pregnant post-transfer. So the name of the game for the next week is to eat all the deli meat and sushi lol

Hey friends!
Month/Cycle: 25/25
Timing:-2, -1, +1
CD/DPO: CD21/6DPO
Symptoms: None yet
RRCS: This cycle, DH and I tried home AI instead of just DTD, along w/ temping AND CBE Advanced OPK. I still wish we'd hit -3 and O just to cover all bases but I think we hit good timing. I have new insurance now that covers fertility testing, so we decided if this doesn't take, we'll do the home SA test, and if that checks out, we'll get back on all the supplements, and if we're still not KU in 3 months we'll go for more in-depth testing. We'd go sooner, but we have some medical expenses w/ my DS that we have to cover first. It feels good to have a game plan.

Rant: I'm now on CD33 and have yet to have a BFP OR signs of AF. I have had mild cramps since last Friday, but have had no sign of AF besides that. I am so frustrated. I wish AF would hurry and show up.

I got my period earlier this week 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not too shocked. I think our timing was off and it was only the first month of trying.

I still haven't gotten my period. I quit cramping and the only PMS symptoms I have now are bloating and sore nipples. All the tests I've taken are negative. I am waking up every day praying for AF so my body quits wasting time. 😡

So MH is worried about finances for the first time in his life and suddenly thinks we need to wait a few months to TTC. I'm bummed because I'm sick of waiting and something comes up every single time we think we're ready, but he's probably right. I'll be lurking and cheering you guys on from the sidelines until then if that's okay.

My sense of smell is INSANE the past two days. I could actually smell the dish soap on a bowl I used earlier tonight (DH couldn’t smell it). Heightened sense of smell was my first symptom with DS so...I’m hoping this is it. I’m only 10DPO though so I’m holding out on testing as long as possible.

I couldn’t wait. I POAS this morning and got a very very faint positive on a FRER. This is exactly what happened with my C/P in 2017 so I’m not counting it until AF doesn’t come (due Friday). But...omg I hope this is it!
