TTC

Hey ladies! Just wondering, since there is a lot of us on here that are TTC , maybe we want to start a thread for us to share what we are going through? You know like where we are in our cycle, what we are doing to track/chart, etc. I for one never knew how stressful the 2ww would be and would love a place to chat with others going through the same thing! I know there is a Getting Pregnant board and I've lurked there but sometimes those ladies are not very nice. Since we have all been chatting together for a while now I thought this might be a good idea. Let me know if you guys are interested!!

Re: TTC

  • I'm in!  I found the TB TTGP are nice if you read the blog and introduce yourself.  Lots of great information too!

  • Do you want a set of questions?  They do on TTGP and it's nice to read through.  Ours could be like:

    Cycle/Month:

    CD/DPO:

    Waiting to O or 2WW?

    What are you doing (temping, etc):

    Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks:

  • Great idea! Thanks!! I'm sure those ladies are nice and plan on doing an intro soon, still thought it might be nice for us over here as well :-)
  • @danaocny - Oh No I'm all about talking about TTC anywhere that wants to read about it haha.  It's hard when only H, my parents and a good friend know... I've almost slipped at work with a few CWs talking about saving leave for ML etc.  I'm usually a very open person, this is hard.

  • Cycle/Month: 3

    CD/DPO: CD8

    Waiting to O or 2WW? W2O

    What are you doing (temping, etc): First month temping/CM, pretty chart so far! PNV (which this is reminding me I forgot this morning... b00), EOD starting tonight

    Thoughts/Rants/Chart Stalks: Temps have been pretty steady after AF left. Last 2 cycles have been around 26 days, so we're getting every other day sexy time in starting tonight. Every day if H is up for it, but he said EOD puts less pressure on him. We're starting tonight, since tomorrow we will be sleeping on an air mattress at my friend's house... and that's just too weird for us haha. Although I'll be drinking, so yea... I'm known to jump him then haha.

  • I'm in once I'm off this prednisone, in a month or two.  I guess it can cause birth defects if you are on it when you conceive.  I'm starting to get excited about it.  DH is ready to start now and is getting risky with preventative measures, hopefully he can hold off another couple months...
  • @Seipel12 - You can start temping to avoid.  I know it took me a few weeks to get it down, I'm glad I started midcycle last month.

  • @mana8503 - This would be a weekly post right? If so, you could start a TTC Tuesday thread. We don't have a topic that day. I think that it would fit in perfectly.
    my read shelf:
    Cathy (CathyL7910)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • @cathyl7910 - GOOD IDEA!  We can update today and start a weekly Tuesday.

  • @cathyl7910 a weekly thread on Tuesdays sounds like a great idea!!
  • @islandmonkey8 you won't get me down!  I'd love to lend an ear if you need to vent anytime.  I would love to add you to my prayers if that kind of thing is ok with you.

    @DanaOcNy, I'm terrified of the women on the Getting Pregnant board!  I've argued cases in front of judges who intimidated me less than those ladies.  Yikes

    We are using NFP (Catholic) to try to wait, and TTC in May.  

    Cycle: 3 (of using NFP)

    CD: 18 (usually O on day 20), 40ish day cycles

    I basically do sympto-thermal method and also use the dollar tree ovulation predictor tests.  

    Oh, and guess when I O this cycle?? Yes, that's correct, our anniversary...lol.  Womp womp

  • I'm not TTC or anywhere near it (at least 2 more years, I believe!), but I like to keep up with you ladies, but I have to say....I feel like I'm in a foreign country! haha. I think I'm going to have to go look up all of these acronyms. I'll continue giving my love and support to you ladies who are trying! :)

    Makes me feel like I did when I first joined theknot.  All these crazy acronyms, feel like there should be a dictonary or something.
  • Thanks @frank139@msu.edu. We're willing to take all the help we can get at this point!

    I thought about adding a legend at the bottom...

    Wating to Ovulate (Waiting to O)

    2WW - 2 weeks wait, 2 weeks between ovulation and when a test could be positive

    PNV - Prenatal Vitamin

    EOD - Every other day sexy time

    ED - Every day

    NFP - I think is natural Family Planning

    CM - cervical mucus

  • Thanks ladies!! I'm really bummed this morning but its because I had irrational desire to have our first by the time i was 30, and that is 9 months away. Silly, I know, it's just a number. Oh well. Yes, I will take all the wine!! And a flu shot! Lol

  • Am I allowed to play too?
