Is anyone TTC right now?

we have been and I was curious if anyone had tried the fertillity scope ovulation predictor?

Re: Is anyone TTC right now?

  • I am :) But I've never tried the fertility scope ovulation predictor.... sorry :(

  • Never heard of it.  Obviously I'm not TTC.  Have you read TCOYF?  That's a great starting point if you haven't read it already.

     When I was TTC I used this tea, recommended by my midwife. It worked for me (well I was only trying 3 months) and for a friend (trying for 1.5 years). Also, she suggested I up my protein to 100 grams a day as well... The tea tastes good. It is loose tea so you will need a tea strainer or infuser...

  • aw thanks Ann, I have seen this but did not know anyone who had tried it. I will tho thank you. I believe they have it at walgreens.

    We were TTC but my body is doing some weird things so I have given up on hoping it will happen at the moment.  I haven't heard anything about that though.  Sorry, no help.

    my read shelf:
    Kasi's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)

  • I highly recommend Taking Charge of your Fertility. Charting (which is what the book preaches) along with the ovulation monitor/predictor are great tools especially combined.

    Good luck!  When we were TTC my son, we used the clear blue easy fertility monitor for about two cycles.  That damn thing was expensive and completely useless since my cycles at that point were 40+ days.  

    Anyway, read the book if you can.  It's a wonderful resource; there were some things in there that I had never even heard of.  I will make it required reading for my hypothetical daughter. ;)

  • I charted using TCOYF methods to avoid and used the "maybe mom" scope as a secondary test for charting.  It was very accurate for me, but only tells you if you're getting ready to ovulate within a day or two, so you've already missed part of your fertile window and it doesn't confirm if ovulation actually occurs... I used temps for that. 
  • I have been doing my temps and the pee stick OPK but I still have not had a positive or anything. My temps are not helping either I have been using OPK since CD11 and still nothing. AF lasted long this time. I am so confused and frustrated especially because DH is acting like this is a job ...which in all fairness it kind of is. But he is the one who is pressuring for a baby. I want a baby too but geez..a little help dear!! Sorry for that little rant! hehehe. I am starign to think that i O right before AF comes. I mean like 4 days before.

    Sometimes ovulation can be delayed for various reasons.  I am normally very regular, but once I was off BC, I had some cycles when I ovulated really, really late.  It was indeed very frustrating.

    Try to have fun with it if you can.  We were too uptight about TTC with my son, and it helped us a lot to take the focus off having a baby.  Try not to stress over it until you've been trying for a year.  But if your chart consistently shows a short luteal phase like you're talking about, maybe you should consider talking to your doctor.  

  • Yeah my doc know we are in the last phases of the rest of the tests our last appointment is the 22nd. I have been off BC for 3 years. we have not been actively trying but we have not been avoiding a baby.

    I will tell you a funny story...on sunday we went to visit soem friends and therew was a little asian lady who checks with her jade pendent how many kids you will have according to how it moves...and of course what happens to me? It doesnt move at all...you should have seen everyone looking at me all pitiful because they all know that we are trying and having no luck...it was just terrible.

  • We are not TTC but I just requested the book from the library regardless. Looks like a good way to figure myself out so when can sort things out before we are ready.

    Thanks. I am becoming more and more aware of the struggles people go through and to be honest it makes me nervous. I may have to hide it from DH though so he doesn't think I have gone completely baby crazy yet. Wink
