Welcome!

This is a revolving buddy group for women in the same part of their cycles, to compare notes, and symptoms. We also have a "2 Week Wait" buddy group for members who are post Ovulation. Every so often, a moderator will start a new thread for you.  If you feel a new thread is necessary, please alert the moderators by using the Report Abuse feature.  Good Luck! Baby Dust

Ha! I am the first one this time to open the WTO forum.

Starrlight - I think you O'd (I vote for that!) Big Smile and if you really not in the mood, I say take a break. If you have ewcm tomorrow, you can try BD again. As long as I can tell though with the high temps you have probably O'd. The timing is good and you BD'd enough that you should be ok with a little break.

AFM: Sex week is on full force! I know what I am doing tonight... Baby Dance LOL. I am getting darker OPKs but not positives. At least it is getting there. Thankfully I have ewcm today too, so I am happy!

Good evening ladies...just waiting around to ovulate.  Anticipating 'sex week' (i like that daisy) starting on Saturday through to Wednesday.  Going to try some different timing this week based on some advice that I'm actually O'ing earlier than thought.

Oh so happy for a friend of mine, but a little sadden for me - just found out of another pregnancy within a small moms group I'm part of in my city.  I keep thinking, 'when will it be mine turn.'  These moms are a few years younger than me, so perhaps there fertility is raging.  I just feel like DH and I have to try so hard and end up with nothing everything month.  However, we do have our wonderful and amazing DS who I cherish dearly.  I just always wanted to have more kids and I want DS to have a sibling.  Sorry - my vent for the evening.  Need to get it out!

daisy--Hi! Congrats on the EWCM and darker OPKs!! Hope you catch that eggie soon! NestFingers Crossed
I also love your name for that special week of BDing!  Hehe! Laugh

Stjude--Very true...all you need is that one try! Big Smile Good luck and lots of Baby Dust!

neuba--Sounds like you have a great strategy worked out for catching that eggie!
I totally know how you feel about things "not happening"...but hopefully they will
happen soon for us!  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!! Fingers CrossedLuckBaby Dust

afm--Well, today is CD10 and normally I have had raging EWCM for 2 days already by
now, but this time around I barely have any CM at all...have been dry until yesterday after
my run when I had a little bit of sticky but now it seems back to dry again.  Also,
my temps seem a little out of control..they have been higher overall for the most
part with my last two at 98.1--yikes! Shrug Don't know what to make of all of this,
but things don't look so good and I am wondering if I will even get an eggie at all
at this rate...haven't seemed to have an annovulatory cycle yet, but there's a first
time for everything I guess Indifferent...  I have two left over CBE digi opks that I was planning on
using on CD11 and CD12 around my "normal" O time, but now I'm wondering if I should
hold out...  Just hoping to get at least some CM here soon Pray..I'm really starting to worry!

Dang, I just did personals in January's forum, I will remember not to do that so close to the end of the month!

Stjude - good luck with your timing!  I agree with Keepon, all it takes it once!

neuba - I know the feeling!  I wonderer if it will ever be my turn.  Good luck Wed-Sat!

Keepon - Are you going to BD just in case, maybe you are just having a drier cycle? I have had an annov cycle but my temps weren't that high, they hovered around my low end. Looks like you O'ed to me!

AFM - CD 6, first day not spotting so nothing to report.  BORING!

Hi keeponhoping - here we are again!  Have you tried guaifenesin (i.e. mucinex, robitussin, etc.), and/or green tea?  Those are what helped me increase my EWCM quite a bit.  GL.

AFM - I am just in emotional recovery mode right now after a chemical, but wanted to pop in and wish everybody luck.  I'll be back when I'm in my fertile days.  Going to just take care of myself for now.

Here I am, too.  After a false positive (I think a bad test) last night, AF arrived with a vengeance at bedtime.  Broke my heart.  Almost retreated, but remembered how awesome it is to have such a circle of people who "get it" - DH tries, but I need to have a support system that gets it.  Thanks, ladies!  Good luck to everyone this month.

Hello ladies! I am back in this forum since I am approaching ovulation. My computer on which I have the software is not working right now, so I could not upload my chart. So far I have been having higher than normal temps this month, I am hoping that is a good sign!

I just found out this morning that a colleague from work is pregnant. She got pregnant on her first minth trying, while using TCOYF... although I am excited for her, I cannot deny that I was a bit jealous.... Sad

Good luck to everyone! Baby Dust

Starrlight, I'm with daisy12 on your CM. But that doesn't mean you need to BD! Take some time off and relax with your SO! In fact, you very likely should. Don't force it. :)

Good luck to all others waiting for that O date! Including you, ricosha... sorry to see you back so soon, but best of luck this cycle!

AFM... CD15 today in our second month TTC, very likely going to ovulate tomorrow. I'm not obsessing this time around, which I think is making it more fun for me and DH. ;) I had a ton of creamy CM this morning that went stark EWCM by this afternoon, which made me feel quite relieved as my temps have been all over the place recently (see chart!), so after my dentist appointment (cleaning, ugh, as recommended by my midwife...), we're gettin' it on. Bow chicka...

Hello everyone! I'm here from the TWW group as well. DH okayed TTC but now he is sick and we have all the kids this weekend (we both have kiddos from previous marriages) when I will likely be fertile, so the odds of catching the egg this month are slim. still wanted to pop in here though. i cant temp right now because DS is sleeping poorly so this is my first time charting with CM only. 

be back for personals soon!

Ricosha & Jillian - Sorry to see you back here.  I was really cheering for you.  February will be our month.  It's the month of love - so I anticipate some BFP's.

Pretzel - hoping you can squeeze in some alone time  - even if it's only once.  It only ever takes one time.

donalouise--Glad to hear that AF is out the door!  Hoping you give her a "swift kick"
that will keep her away for 9 months! Big Smile I think you're right...it's probably just
a dryer cycle.  A few months back I did have some that were dryer, so guess it's not
totally unusual.  I'm still going to use an OPK tomorrow and also as my hubby and I
start our weekend tomorrow, we will definitely be happily BDing, regardless of if
that stubborn eggie decides to arrive or not! Stick out tongue

Jillian--Lots of hugs to you Hug and it's a good idea to relax and take some time for
yourself.  I haven't tried any of those remedies yet, but perhaps it would be good to start!
It's weird because the past few months I've had 4 solid days of EWCM so maybe it's
just a bizarre cycle.  I will be here rooting for you when you come back to the boards. Flowers
Let's hope February is our month at last!  Pray

ricosha--Sorry to see you back here as well. Hug Let's hope that February brings us some
sticky BFPs! Fingers CrossedFlowers

corina--Hoping you catch that eggie!! Fingers Crossed

FoxyLady--Good luck!! Luck

PretzelBaker--Hoping that your DH gets better and you can still catch that eggie! Fingers Crossed Baby Dust

MrsMagnolia--February is going to be OUR month dang it!! Big Smile Hope AF leaves quickly and the fun
can soon begin! Stick out tongue To add a signature, click on edit at the top of your page, then click
the site options tab, and then scroll down to add your signature in the designated
spot.  Hope this helps! Flowers By the way, I love your profile pic!  Too cute!


afm--Well, I had some creamy CF yesterday, so that's a good sign!  I'll take it!  It turns out I actually had 3 CBE OPKs left over from last month, so I used one today and it was neg of course but that's ok.  From what others have said and what I've read, I'm thinking my higher temps are just a result of working nights and having a waking time of 3pm.  DH and I start our "weekend" tomorrow, so looking forward to "having some fun"!  Stick out tongue

Well, DH is over his cold and now I'm just worried we're BDing too much. Is that possible? My eggie wont be here for a couple more days and I'm afraid he'll be all out of swimmers. Or energy for that matter. Had some EWCM yesterday which is unusual for me so that's good news. Broke down and bought CBE digital OPKs today. Negative so far. OPKs have tricked me in the past (I had an LH surge but then no ovulation for a while). hoping they work better this time.

 

KeepOnHoping: yay for some creamy CM! Have fun this weekend!

Hope everyone catches their eggie and has some fun doing it!

PretzelBaker, I remember last month got really tiring near my O because we just got ahead of ourselves! We were literally having sex every single day, and it was just EXHAUSTING (and didn't help, obviously, as I'm here, lol). I've heard every 36-48 hours is plenty, so we've been trying that out this cycle; maybe that'll work for y'all! Also helps to keep the stress of TTC at bay, I've noticed.

AFM... speaking of EWCM, this is my second day of it! DH and I DTD last night so I wondered if it was seminal fluid (haha, TMI, I know I know...), but it stuck around rather than dissipating and was actually hard to wash off after my cervical check this morning! I don't really want to have sex again tonight... maybe tomorrow morning if my temps are still down. Who doesn't like that as a way to kick-start a Friday. ;)

Well, I'm back at CD1. I'm pretty bummed. I thought that last month was our month. Now we are on our 6th month trying (4th month actually charting). Oh well, we get to have fun trying right? And November babies are awesome. I'll be hanging out here for awhile. I don't O until about CD20.

Hi ladies.  I just got back from the DR and thought I'd share.  Apparently my loss was a blighted ovum.  The DR explained it as sperm met egg but did not fertilize and caused a false positive.  He said this is nothing to worry about and to just keep trying.  It's very sad and disappointing, but at least the good news is that there's nothing wrong with myself or hubby.  I've been bleeding extremely heavily for 3 days though and am a bit worried about this.  I hope my body returns to its normal quickly & we can get back on our TTC journey.

Good luck to all.  

edited to add:  So, upon reading some more (this: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancycomplications/blightedovum.html for example), apparently the heavy bleeding is a good thing.  It means I am miscarrying normally and shouldn't need medical intervention (such as a D&C).
