me too! hoping for my May baby. I have two daughters from a previous marriage and hoping to conceive a rainbow baby with my husband. We had a missed miscarriage back in may this year. DH and I reconnected after 12 years and finally married earlier this year. We would love to have a baby of our own. So this will be our third cycle trying. I am only using opk as I was able to get pregnant on my own early this year. I do have clomid but opting to not take it yet. We'll see what happens this month. Im on cd5.
I hope we all get BFP's this month!
Almost forgot, I am drinking red raspberry leaf tea every other day as I read about its numerous benefits. However there is some controversy as well.
baby dust to all of us.

I just have white discharge idk if cm or little swimmers.idk how to check my cervix. Does anybody check their cervix ?

Hi ladies, I am back after having a chemical pregnacy last month, so devastating. This will be our 6th cycle ttc #2. Not sure what to expect with my cycle, so this month may be a bust. Using opks and still temping. Baby dust to all!

@Mj, you joined the right group for support. It seems like a number of us went through this last month. I would love for at least one of us to get get a sticky bean this month to give us hope :)

I'm debating testing early at 10dpo, but I remember telling myself that I wouldn't after last months CP. if it happens like last month I should implant on Wednesday or Thursday. The last week of the wait is. the. worst.

Is it possible to have symptoms before implantation? I'm pretty sure the answer is no so I'm going to ignore the headaches and the blah feelings. I'm getting my normal tww cramps, but I realized after last month that I get them regardless.

Can't wait to see some BFPs!

Well, with a lot of help from Bama (thanks for taking my 5 million texts today lol)... I think we have narrowed it down to I O'ed on Sunday... or this morning! With that being said, I am going to count Monday as 1 dpo... although Tuesday could technically be 1 dpo... I have to start progesterone suppositories, but the doctor couldn't stress enough to make sure I did ovulate before using them. They can prevent the sperm from getting to the egg... so I think I will wait until Thursday to start them... just to be safe. Praying so hard for the healthiest stickiest bean I can ever have! I am not putting in my O date yet... going to test tomorrow and see what the OPKs show to confirm!

Today I received a box in the mail from a dear friend who has cried with me on every BFP I got and mourned with me with each m/c. She is one of my rocks when things go good or bad. I opened it (wasn't expecting it) and there was a letter to "Baby Coyle"... it went on to say how much baby is wanted and how much we have prayed for this miracle. She said that "you are loved so very much even though you aren't even conceived yet"... it was a beautiful letter that had me in tears. Along with the letter was a lot of baby clothes (both boy and girl) that she has been buying little at a time since December 2010! She said something just told her it was time to send it! It was the best feeling in the world... to know that someone else is as invested in our future baby as we are (along with my parents that is)! Today was the first day this cycle I have felt hopeful!

Here is to a crazy testing lady tww! LOL!

Baby dust to you all!

Just checking in with everyone - as far as the when to test discussion - I am right there with you guys. I think we may have had a chemical pregnancy a couple months ago, and I was somewhat determined to not test that early, but I know in a week or so I will likely be changing my tune. I really want to hold out though, those chemical pregnancies are sooooooo discouraging.

My OPK's are getting darker, and I'm hoping to get a positive today or tomorrow. Should ovulate tomorrow or Thursday, but no positive yet, so we will see! (-:

~K

I gave in went and bought 2 hpt and pads.tmi..sorry. just need to convince myself to wait until the am

for all asking about BBT checking your cervix etc I really suggest reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" it's free on like Amazon or iTunes, it is extremely informative

AFM- I am 7dpiui today, some light pink browinsh spotting when I wiped earlier, so we shall see, I am going to try to wait as long as possible to test, but I am sure that I will change my tune lol

I cant wait to test tomorrow for ovulation. Supposed to start Saturday but I don't want to miss the surge. I have no clue on how to check the cervix. From what I read is very simple. I only use opk for now. I am pushing my lyck since I'm 37 and my husband is 55. I have two daughters from a previous marriage and me and my husband would love to have our rainbow baby. Our angel baby stopped growing at 6 weeks and I completed the miscarriage on my own, did not need D&C. But since then (this happen this past may) we have been trying to conceive. A little frustrating since I read that you are very fertile after a mc. oh well. .. Hope this is the month for all of us.
My first DD took a year to conceive. the second DD surprised us. Then my angel baby, we conceived right away. Then I had a missed mc. My point is, our psychological state of mind must play a role in the conceiving process. I think because we want so much we incur some unnecessary stress, no? Im obsessing and cant help. I promised myself this month I wont pay attention to symptoms and will only test on the day of AF is supposed to arrive. My cycles are 27 days. Im on cd#6. Im leaving it up to God and relying on my TTC buddies.
One thing I've read is the red raspberry leaf tea. Made me a little crampy so I decided to take every other day or every two days.

ttcteacher, how did you know that you implanted on 12 or 13 DPO last cycle? What were the signs and symptoms, if anything at all?

Thanks!
