TTC CHECK IN

Re: TTC CHECK IN

  • guys, I thought you weren't supposed to use FMU with OPK's? Something about LH being produced in the morning thus not being in FMU?

    Confused newbie is confused.
    I've heard both, but my OB/GYN said definitely use FMU. I did get an obvious + when I used one several months ago with FMU because the amount of EWCM I had compelled me to check, lol.
    I'm gunna do both. Especially because my after work urine isn't always yellow. I can't dehydrate myself at work just for a OPK!

    This makes 4 of us. I'm in that timeframe to use them also, and my CM has caused me to use them.  Although, if this cycle is anything like the last one, then I should start using them at CD65 instead.

    Woo! four FIVE pee buddies. We should have a secret handshake.

    welcome to the circle @transponster ;)
  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 3 months/2 cycles
    Where are you in your cycle? CD 13
    Have you done anything different or plan to?
    I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS, so my husband is having a SA done and then on to Clomid.
    Anything good or bad happen this week in regards to TTC or life in general? I was diagnosed with PCOS.
    Any plans for testing? Just my husband's SA testing.....
    Thoughts, questions, concerns? I've been very down about the news...but I've been trying to focus on our new house and going back to school (teacher) in a few weeks. I figure if I worry about all of that stuff, I won't worry about TTC as much and it will be just something that is part of our lives right now and not our whole life.

    QOTD: If you had to relocate for work but could pick anywhere in the world to relocate to, where would you pick?
    Germany. My husband was stationed in Bamburg for 2 years and loved every minute of it. I'd love to have that experience with him.

    QOTD: Have you read any good books lately that you would recommend?
    Honestly we've been so busy with moving and getting the house unpacked that it's all I've been doing this summer.
  • woo 4 pee buddies. We should have a secret handshake.
    I need motivation to do so as well. I'm joining you guys and there's nothing you can do about it.

  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 10mths/ 11th cycle starting today
    Where are you in your cycle? CD f'in 1
    Have you done anything different or plan to? I'm saying screw it this month and I'm doing HCG and focusing on weight loss. 
    Anything good or bad happen this week in regards to TTC or life in general? AF showed up. At least she didn't make me wait for her
    Any plans for testing? nope
    Thoughts, questions, concerns?

    QOTD: If you had to relocate for work but could pick anywhere in the world to relocate to, where would you pick? Ideally, somewhere tropical, Realistically Austria/Ireland.

    QOTD: Have you read any good books lately that you would recommend?  I finished The Kite Runner as well and it was decent. I've been reading stupid baby books.

  • *board intro*  Hi ladies!  Hopefully this is an acceptable intro.  I've been a Nestie for some time, but not on this board.  
    How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 1/1 (we're newbs)

    Have you done anything different or plan to?  DH is currently on our shiny rainbow train of 'it will happen naturally'; I'm looking into temp'ing and charting.  (Him 28, Me 27)

    Anything good or bad happen this week in regards to TTC or life in general?  DH has been gone all week.  I thought I had O'd possible two weeks ago, so was expecting AF today.  However, I've had lots of cramping since Thursday, but no AF, so I'm wondering if she'll arrive next Saturday.  No symptoms.

    Any plans for testing?  Had thought last weekend would be 6 days prior to AF, so tested, but BFN three in a row.

    Thoughts, questions, concerns?  What is the first thing I should do if I want to chart for the next month?  I'm assuming I'll have to start asap when AF arrives.  I have not yet read Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

    QOTD: If you had to relocate for work but could pick anywhere in the world to relocate to, where would you pick?  Denver, Colorado.  Those are some fancy hippy people who love their dogs.  I'd be all over that kind of lifestyle.

    QOTD: Have you read any good books lately that you would recommend?  I always recommend Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.  It's my fave.  I reread at least 3 times a year.

  • @agoodse welcome!
    RE: charting - get a copy of TCOYF and sign up for a fertilityfriend account. Buy a BBT and your set. I usually start after AF because temps during AF can be a bit off.
    If you aren't charting what makes you think you o'ed? And 6 days before AF would be too early to test ! Test again once a week or until AF.

    I was basically going to say all of this, so I'm just going to be lazy and quote @ecinereb. ;) Welcome, @agoodse! Even if you don't read TCOYF, (I know a lot of people find it kind of ...Zzzz... reading material) definitely check out FF. They have tons of tutorials and information on there. Best of luck to you!
