Pregnancy Info HOME

Good Morning Ladies, Hope everyone is doing well. Glad to see the new thread & I agree, even if we get 1 pregnancy per thread we're super lucky!!! I'm gonna try to get a last bd'ing in today. I really feel we've covered the bases. Hubby told me he doesn't like this s_x on command thing. It feels wrong & I agree. I don't think we'll continue such a rigid every other day cycle next month & I don't think we'll seek fertility at the 6 month mark if still unsuccessful. Of course that's what I'm saying now, but that could always change....

Good morning ladies, thanks lovemy3 for starting the thread, nothing to report here, CD 5 , I am reading about the Lunar cycle thing, its interesting. Oh god I think I have too much time in my hands : ) : ). KD, I agree with your DH and you about the s_x on demand thing, I really hate it, and I am trying my best to avoid that feeling. I do not tell my dh about when is the time anymore, that saves me the embarra__sment, and save him the anxiety. Although he is smart he knows by looking at me and how I become quite and worried : ) : ) . have a good long weekend all, TTYL

Good morning ladies, Glad to hear all is well. I am on cd7 and using the monitor. "low fertiity" this a.m as expected. This cycle we are planning on bd'ing only when we get to high and peak fertility days. Maybe last month we bd'd too much. 6 days in a row then my surge showed, so I wonder. Sann- how are you doing? Hope you all have a great weekend. Its a long weekend with holiday monday where I live, ttyl XOXO

hi all! LOVEMY3, thanks for the new thread. Not much new here. CD17 and hoping to ovulate in the next 3 days. Haven't gotten a +opk yet, but it usually happens on cd18. The "s_x on demand" thing definitely can take the spontaneity out of things. We try to rent s_xy movies during those days... helps us get in the mood! I try as much as possible to forget about the ttc thing and try to just have fun and enjoy the moment (or hour ;-) Hope everyone is having a great weekend. We have a bunch of stuff planned so I probably won't post for a few days but hopefully by then I'll have ovulation news!

Hello ladies, lovemy3, I can see that you started using the monitor, I would like to give you my experience about it, in my case, the monitor gives me 2 high days then 2 peaks then 1 high. All the posts I read indicate that people think they ovulate in there peak days, this is not accurate, because the peak means that you are about to ovulate in 24-48 hours, in my case, I ovulate in the day after the peak. I am sure about that based on the temping, on OPKs, the ovulation pain I get and finally the LP, my LP is 12 days sharp. So make sure to cover the day after the 2 peak days. Val, I am glad that we heard from you, good luck with your ovulation, keep us posted. TTYL

Hi y'all. Thanks col- for the advice on the monitor. maybe thats what happened last month. we bd on the morning I showed a surge but not after. I'll rememeber that for this month. I'm on cd8, low fertility. the good news is that this month was the first normal af I'd really had in the past 3 months, so maybe that is promising. So i guess KD the wait has begun....good luck!! val- any o'ing yet? Isa- Sorry you are feeling down and this board is upsetting you. (from your note on other thread) I am the opposite, for me posting and reading on the "problems getting pregnant board" makes me feel more stressed. I have only tried 3 cycles and am not giving up hope yet. When I read and post there it makes me frantic, I hope you will continue to join us but understand if its too hard. Sann- how are you? hopeful...enjoying italy I hope...ttyl XOXO

Good Morning, I hope everyone's doing well. Well I'm on 9 days til AF. and I started that "feel myself up thing" every moment I'm in a closed room, just hoping that my nips are super tender!hahaha I'm so curious about that whole OPK thing. I think I'll join you ladies next month & pick one up. Especially since I'll have to limit the bding. I'm so curious about when I actually ovulate. Checking my cm hasn't helped me much. I don't seem to get the ewcm. Maybe that's my problem. I've ready about things like grapefruit juice, Robitussin, preseed, I've even read about real egg whites!!! Any thoughts on these alternative solutions. I suppose at least 2 of those wouldn't hurt to try. I'm not sure about the other 2????? I think a trip to Italy like "Hopeful's" doing would certainly help! Hope all is well. Thanks to all you ladies. This posting sure does help get me through the 2ww!!!

Hi KD..Don't ya just hate the wait!! hang in there. I never really look for symptoms because I never have any this early on before af is due. I'm hoping this is our month too. it will be our 4th cycle. My af was normal length and flow this month so I'm hoping maybe my hormones are having a normal month because I had had such light scant af's for those few cycles. i feel like time is moving too fast, with my mom having menopause complete by age 42. my oldest is now 11 and my middle 5 and my youngest 3, I just want to get on with it and be done-lol! Lets hope this is a good month for everyone!! sann... really hoping you are ok!! ttyl

Good morning ladies, glad to hear from you. I have been reading about the IVF and the success rate, it sounds promising, of course I believe it is all in God’s hands after all. Anyway, we are thinking to go for IVF directly, we have been trying for a year now, and giving our age, I think we should get a__sistance. It does not seem that we can get pregnant naturally. I am looking forward for October 13 to see our fertility specialist. I am doing some research on the different clinics success rate, and his seems to be good. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers. And I wish all the best. KD, yes it’s a good idea to use OPK, it helps you pinpoint your O time. Lovemy3, I think you will be fine, don’t stress about the early menopause thing, stress is the biggest cause for delayed conception. TTYL

Hi COL- Thats great you are able to see the fertility specialist on Oct 13th. I will be praying for you. I also beleieve it is in Gods hands but sometimes its hard to remember that its His timing and He knows the big plan, not us. I agree too about the monitor, hopefully it will be helpful this cycle. i am on cd 9 and sytill showing low fertilty, if it doesn't show soemthing by cd 20, i will be skeptical. Hopefully it will be fine. thank you everyone for your encouragement and support, its funny before I found this web site, i had only ever worked my e-mail!! XOXO

Hi lovemy3, if you do not get any peak this month, dont be disappointed, first month is not alweys with good results, my first month, i got 17 highs and no peak. the next 3 months, it was regular, 2 highs and 2 peaks, thn one high. so dont think too much about this month if you do not get any peak. but let me give you this tip, the way to know the peak, look closly at your sticks, dont through them away, compare them, once you get 2 lines at the same time, they do not have to be the same color, haing 2 lines means peak. that is from experience. good luck

Hi COL- thanks for the tip. I am cd9 and have been getting one dark line and one very faint line since cd6- saying low fertility. I know I usually don't o till day 18, 19, 20. Why do you think it has a faint line? Gosh, I hope this monitor is a good choice and doesn't mess things up for me. Do you think I should buy other test sticks and use them in comparison? I'm very thankful that you are knowledgable about this monitor or I'd be lost!! Thanks so much XOXO

Hi Lovemy3, you are welcome, no you do not have to buy another sticks, and dont worr about the faint line. the line second lin i am talking abou tis not the very faint line, its an opvious line, as i said the 2 lines do not have to be the same darkness, but they are very visable. go to this website, to see what i am talking abou t, www.peeonastick.com then go to FAQ , they have a question abou this subject, and they sho pics that tells you what i am talking about. let me know if you have any diffeculties finding the site. good luck

if you dont mind me asking, how did you know that you ovulate that late? 18, 19, 20????

hi all! Cd19 for me, and I got the +opk yesterday which was good because dh left today on a work trip! I think we got some good time in together, so I'm going to be optimistic about this cycle. I have to be because this is my last clomid cycle, and I really don't want to do the hsg or iui. I guess I'll start the prometrium in about 4 days. LOVEMY3, it sounds like your cycles are about as long as mine. I use dollar store opks - they are really helpful. Never used the Monitor but I've heard good things about it. COL, glad your specialist visit isn't too far away. It sounds like a good step for you. KD, this is our 3rd month using pre-seed. It's supposed to be helpful... I'm hoping it is! I read on Fertility Friend (do you chart there?) that dehydration can lead to minimal cm, so make sure you are staying hydrated. Not getting any ewcm could maybe be indicative of some sort of hormone issue, so if you really don't have any, you might want to check with your doctor. But I hope you won't have to and that you'll get a bfp this month! SANN amd ISA, hope you are doing well.

Hi there, COL- I a__sume I o that because I have used the regular store OPK's the last month and they said day 19 and thats when I get crampy and cm. maybe I'm wrong and the monitor will show that, maybe thats the problem. Thanks for the web site info, I will look at it. Val, how long are your cycles, even my o'ing that late i still get a 30 day cycle? What is Preseed and how does that work? Val-- how long have you been trying for? I hope this is the month for you all ttyl XOXO
