Re: TTC Tuesday
TTCer:
Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: CD12
W2O or 2WW? Waiting to O
Testing plans: Probably 10 DPO, whenever that ends up being.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: My parents has fleas again, so now my dog has fleas again since he stayed at their house a few weekends ago... so he starts about 11-1130 digging and licking his paws for the rest of the night. So this is screwing with my temps. He's getting another flea bath tonight... I was threatening getting him the cone of shame!
(DS)2 years, 5 1/2 months and (DD) 5 1/2 months
How do you feel?
Very tired and overwhelmed at times but ever so in love
Any Milestones this week?
DD has started scooting backwards
DS has learned all of the lyrics to "the fox" lol
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
Rant: DS won't stop playing in his poop and making a giant mess and I don't know how to stop him! I've tried it all and I'm out of ideas! It sounds hilarious but when it happens twice a day for a month...its not so funny! Ugh!! Common DS enough is enough!!
Pics:
Cycle/Month: Cycle 6, Month 10
CD/DPO: CD25
W2O or 2WW? Neither really. Waiting for a phone call back from my RE (reproductive endocrinologist) as to the next steps since this is my third failed cycle on Clomid.
Testing plans: n/a
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I'm hoping to hear back from my RE today and get some answers as to what is next. I'm tired of my body not working and it is stressing me out. Thank god we are going on vacation in two weeks!
As for me, I don't have anything to report since I am still on BC. That will be changing soon though. Yay!!
How do you feel? Tired but not as overwhelmed since I made the decision to stop breast feeding this past weekend, I know breast is best but being back and work, my supply dipping and finding time to pump I was getting down about the whole situation.
Any Milestones this week? We put rice cereal in her bottle last night, just a little. She liked it!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I updated my siggy with her 3 month pic over the weekend, I can't believe she will be 4 months next week. Rants- I really wish H would get up just once in the middle of the night!
How many weeks: 8w3d
How are you feeling? Good today. Yesterday I was really nauseous and tired. Still no vomiting yet so that's nice.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Found out one of the other girls in my program is also pregnant and is 5 days ahead of me. It might be nice to get to know here and go through this together. No bump yet.
Cycle/Month: 4/4 (2nd charting, ect)
CD/DPO: CD3
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: 13 dpo, or around then. if my cycle is the same as the last, we will have a wedding the next night, and that means lots o' drinks or figuring out a plan to be sober discretely!
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: Just trying to figure out what I will be doing this month. Sorry if this is tmi, but I didn't really monitor CM last month. I was going to just going to observe what was on my underwear (since the book said you could) and not go internal, but what I realized is that my body doesn't produce enough that i could observe it that way. It makes me a little nervous that it could be a problem if I don't produce enough EWCM...but this is just my mind over analyzing one month of charting! Ha. Anyway, I think I'll be adding that to my regiment and maybe trying the musinex around my FW. Any opinions or thoughts??
@lwoehlk - explain the musinex thing to me. I don't have EWCM either, and I drink a ton of water. I get the wet CM, but not the EW... AH! Add me to the over analyzing. I got a drip the other day and i'm like OH am I'm O'ing?! Nope went back to normal... no big shift yet.
I think if we're out this month, I'm breaking down and getting the preseed lube... sh!t is expensive!
That makes sense. I've seen it on TTGP too, and then you mentioned it. I feel better asking you haha.
OMG I know the things you do... I might add musinex too and the $30 lube next cycle.
This! First month I figured I'd just go based on what was seen but I'm guessing I don't produce enough to actually come out on its own (enough to check). Started internally checking this month. Weird things I never thought I'd be doing prior to TTC :-)
@Danaocny, since you have actually started already, do you have any tips? Do you check once a day? Idk, but for some reason I feel like it will be awkward at first! Lol
I posted about when to temp (solid sleep vs same time), and there wasn't any snark. They don't mind informed questions.
Oooo good to know. I love green tea, but I don't drink it THAT much, I can definitely up it.
Thanks islandmonkey! I wish I liked green tea! Ugg. I might figure out a way to drink it masked.
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 27/11dpo
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: I'm trying to wait till this weekend. AF is due Sunday so I'm trying to hold out till then but if i can't wait then at least till Friday or Saturday.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: FF was giving me issues with my chart because i had two days that should be discarded since i had moved before taking my temp. I put that in the notes but didn't click the button so FF kept telling me i didn't O even though i know i did and my chart clearly shows it. I discarded one and the red line shows up then i put in my temp the next morning and it says the data changed and i no longer O and the red line was removed so i had to discard the second bad reading to get the red line back.
I read recently that you can actually use egg whites (at room temp) and it has the same effect as egg white CM. After reading this I followed up on other sites that said you can use it. I may try that out if this month is unsuccessful.
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 12 DPO
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: Was planning to test Saturday, I would be late. AF is due tomorrow or Thursday. I think I am going to test tomorrow morning. I've had a terrible sinus head ache since last night. I had caffeine, I used my netti pot, I took a steamy shower and it won't go away. I am nauseated from the pain, but I don't want to take Sudafed just in case. If I test tomorrow, I will know and then I could take something or suffer. I'm hoping I'll have to suffer
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I decided last night that it is terrible that you only have 1 shot a month to get pregnant. This is not fair. And this 2 week window is the worst 2 weeks ever! I have never been so impatient in my entire life.
I agree the 2ww is the worst! FX that you have to suffer!
I think I may need to read Taking Charge of your Fertility if this cycle does not work. It is mentioned often on the boards and seems like it is a great book.
I would definitely recommend the book! So interesting! I got it through the library and read it in one night after knowing the basics from lurking on TB.
