TTC Check In :)
Whoa, I have missed quite a few weeks with the check in! But that's ok, sometimes things don't really change week to week with TTC.....
How is everyone doing?
Any updates?
Any vents/frustrations?
Are you waiting to O or in your 2WW?
Any questions or tips?
Anything else you want to add?

Re: TTC Check In :)
I *think* I am in my 2WW. I am pretty sure I O'd two days ago. I guess we will see with tomorrows temp.
I am really hoping I O'd. Yes, because that means my body is working properly but most importantly that means I can take a break with the sex. Mr. Jason and I are WORN OUT! We have been trying to have sex everyday, and honestly, that is too much for my liking.
That being said, for some reason I am not thinking this is our month. Don't ask me why, but I just don't feel it. When I got pregnant in December I was super confident that I was KU early on. I am not claiming I am physic, but I just don't feel overly confident. I hope I am proven wrong
If so my EDD would be Oct 31. Sounds like a good day to have a baby to me!
GL to everyone else! Hope there are lots of BFP posts in the near future!

Can I crash this thread to say that I have slowly moved from 95% confident that I wanted one more kid to 95% confident that I'm happy with two? The more I think about it, the more that two kids seems to fit our lifestyle better than three. The thought of being able to travel more easily, have an easier time finding care for the kids so that we can travel without them, having more money and time for the two kids we already have, being done with the bad crap pregnancy has done to my body (including the almost certainty of having another terrible case of Bell's Palsy if I get KU again), etc.
But I don't want to make a final decision about it until after we move because what if I get to KSA and chance my mind? On the otherhand, if we are done I really want an IUD but I'm not sure if there is anywhere to get an IUD in KSA.
How many kids to all of you TTC ladies want?
I'm pretty sure i O'd two days ago also! Let's hope for two Halloween babies!! This is my 4th cycle, and i'm hoping it's the last!
Last month I started using FF mid-cycle. Prior to that, I was using a free app on my phone. I didn't do any temp. taking, just entered 1st & last day of AF & it would calculate when I should O.
Once I started temping through FF, I realized how off the app was. Yikes! No wonder. Last month, my cycle was uncommonly long too. It's usually very predictable. I'm curious to see how things go this month. According to FF, I'm still waiting to O. According to my phone app, I already did.
Sometimes I ovulate on CD 16, others on CD 25, and some not at all. This cycle I think I O'd on CD 27. But my cycles are whacked. Sometimes they're short and other times they are super long. In the last six cycles I had one cycle that lasted 60 days and the following cycle it lasted 19 days. Can't figure that out!
So for me FF is a lifesaver! Plus it's amazing to see your body working! GL to you!

How is everyone doing? Ok in January my cycle changed on me from 32 days to 28 days so we (I)decided to just start in Feb well its here and I decided to push it to next month.
We want a baby desperately I?m not sure why I keep pushing it back even H has been asking me if I?ve o?d?? I had a good excuse I scheduled my wisdom teeth removal that was the last thing I needed to be clear from every doctor I just want to be certain that my body is ready for a baby. But I?m also super nervous about another loss but not enough to make me not TTC?So I will be starting in March and I think I?m going to chart not quite sure yet but ill at least do OPK?s.
Any updates? None see above
Any vents/frustrations? My cycle changes! I?m just hoping I can still track O
Are you waiting to O or in your 2WW? neither
Any questions or tips? Such a dumb Q but I have no idea! When do you start charting?? Is it the first day that AF is over or CD1?
Anything else you want to add
Good luck to all the 2WW ladies!
OMG, that would be AWESOME if we both ended up KU this cycle! Haha. GL to you and I am wishing for Halloween babies for the both of us!

Well, GL in whatever you decide! Right now, I would like to have 3 kids, but my H is set on only 2. We'll see. I may change my mind after kiddo number 2! But, I have a feeling if the next baby is a girl, I MAY be able to talk him into baby number 3 in hopes it would be a boy. But if the next baby is a boy, forget, I will only have 2 kids in my future.
The one thing that I am scared about is paying for 3 college educations. 2 will be hard enough!

Ah, Joanna, I think it's totally natural to feel anxious after a loss! Only you can decide when you are emotionally and physically ready for another go at TTC. I hope that you get your little sticky baby when you are ready!
To answer your question, you start charting on the first day of your cycle (the day your period begins).
GL to you! I understand the fear that goes with pregnancy. I know when/if I get another BFP, I won't rest until I hear the HB. The thought of another chemical pregnancy is overwhelming. It's such an emotional roller coaster! I totally understand!
As for charting, you can start any day to get the hang of it. But the beginning of your cycles is considered the first day you start your period. This cycle, I went on vacation and forgot my BBT so I had a 12 day gap of no temps. It wasn't a big deal because I O late.
I would rec starting now, because even if you don't have a full cycle you can start to learn you body and understand it's norms. Like, I have figured out my preO temps (usually in the 96's range) and my post O temps (usually in the 97's range). Plus if you start now, you will have something to compare to next cycle. I can't tell you how often I reference my old charts!!

Well then, for your benefit, I hope your next one is a girl!
DH feels the same ambivalence that I do. I think I could persuade him either way. Lately, though, I've been fantasizing about taking exotic vacations with my husband and getting the mommy surgical makeover I deserve within the next couple of years. All of that would be delayed if another kid entered the picture.
I'm sure you've heard this already, but my PCP gave me some info that helped me get past the fear of another loss. 1 in 4 women have a m/c at some point in their lives (whether or not they know it). They also seem to think the statistic is higher, but 1 in 4 is based on reported cases. Your chances of having another m/c does not change because you've already had one.
So my thinking is that since I already had a m/c, next time will be a full term, happy, healthy baby.
As far as charting goes, I started mid-cycle last month. The next cycle started on the 1st day of AF.
In cycle #7. I'm going to take a break from charting this month, because with traveling and moving, I know my temps are going to be out of whack. I'll start charting again once we're settled in the house.
I'm really frustrated. Really, really frustrated.

PAIF/SAIF/PGAL welcome
I am in the 2ww. Not that it matters, but I definitely O'd between Fri and sun. H and I had sex last on Friday, so if we were not infertile we could have conceived. We are in the final rounds of our foster care re- licensing. We have our sanitation inpsection tomorrow and then she will submit our application to the state. It should only take a week or so to get our approval, so hpefully we will have another set of little feet running around our house within th enext couple of weeks!
How is everyone doing? I'm doing good... I am pretty sure I O'd for the first time yesterday since being off BC. I have been using the cheapie OPK's from Amazon. I got a faint line, but it was darker than any other line I have seen since starting to use them last month! Scary since H and I had esx over the weekend, and I don't wnat to be KU'ed until after April... but if it happens it happens! No turning back now!
Any vents/frustrations? Nothing yet, just getting used to being off BC
Are you waiting to O or in your 2WW? I think I am in my 2ww, which is rihgt where the predictor on my phone puts me.
Anything else you want to add? Just looking fwd to a BFP!
H and I are officially TTC. The last I had AF was in December, never had it in January, and not sure if I ever O'd. If I did, we missed that window to conceive from the dates that I calculated that I would've (make sense?) That being said, I still haven't had AF and I took a POS the other night, yes at night because I couldn't wait any longer, and I saw a faint fain faint line. The next morning I took another one and it was a bust, it didn't take AT ALL. So, I went to the store today and got a digital. I hope the digital will work this early on, if I am, so if it turns out negative, I'll wait a couple weeks and take another one.
I'll let you all know tomorrow what happens.
Oh, Lauren! I am always hoping for a BFP for you guys!!! My friend tried for 2 years to get KU and they used Preseed one time and it did the trick. She now has a 13 month old and a newborn! IDK if you've tried it, but it's at least another option. It worked 2 times for her. I hope you don't have to get fertility treatments!
Yeah we've used preseed since cycle # 1! Thanks, I appreciate your kind words!
Sorry to hear that
