Sorry for repeating some of the answers, it is always weird in the 1-2 weeks that we have 2 boards on the go.

Blushing: This is good news, this cyst then should not interfere with anything, although I understand some cause pain, I hope you are not in pain
As for my , it is coming, PMS cramps started early this morning, and 2nd temp dip, just waiting for the bleeding to start.

stephc: It is never to late to start temping. Start as soon as you can. You should temp around the same time every day (it can be afternoon) after 3 continous hours of sleep before doing anything so you open your eyes and take temp before moving.
As for OPK tests, you should order them online they are cheaper.
Feel free to ask any questions here, the ladies here know tons!

Lacey: This is amazing progress!!!
As for me, I woke up at 5am from cramps, temp was down further, took some pemprin, cramps temporarily gone not bleeding yet, but due to the temp drop I know its , but it is what it is right?
Maybe August is my month.... No I can get the blood work done and ultrasound.
How are you feeling?

Rebecca: no yet, but it is coming, 2 days of low temps, PSM cramps from early AM, it is just around the corner...
Did you use preseed or had eggwhite CM in the past few days? If so, sperm probably lived for a few days and you are covered!
The truth is, at this point there is nothing you can do, and if this is your month than you are pregnant , so take a deep breath and happy 1DPO!!!!!

Bammom: I woke up at 5am from cramps, temp was lower than yesterday, took some PMS pills, cramps temporarily gone not bleeding yet, but due to the 2 day temp drop I know its .
But I am not very upset, ready to move on and be proactive .
I am so excited for your first appointment!!!! You should post a countdown here so that we can count with you .

pbc: sorry got you. And if you want to cry, you should, you would feel better after. I am pretty sure this is CD1 for me too, just waiting for the bleeding to start, been spotting for a whole week already.

1st: Tests looking great!!!

AFM: 13DPO, looks like today will be day, not bleeding yet, but with a 2 day temp drop I know it is coming.
I am quite cheerful today (easy to be when you're on PMS pills), wasn't so cheerful when I woke up 3 hours before my alarm to pain.
Have a great day ladies

Thanks for the help! Took my first temp today at 12:50 PM. Logged it, then fell back asleep! I got at least 5 hours of sleep before temping. :)

Have any of you used Wondfo brand OPKs and HPTs? Thinking about ordering those from Amazon.

Hey ladies.

Adding to my frustration of unfounded symptoms! Sence 7 dpo I've had back pain, 12 or 13 dpo 2 days after af was due I start af and had severe pelvic and back pain. I think it was a cyst but I've never had back pain like that. this was tuesday now i still have back pain im going in for an ultrasound tomorrow to see if it really has anything to do with my hormons. I had two negitive tests so I don't think it was a miscarriage. I really don't want to go.

No only my best friend and husband in the know about us really trying so I really like being able to share with you girls.

stephc: Good job on temping. Yes this is the best brand online!

hopful: I hope evrything is ok and you just had a bit of a harder , since we started trying in January I had different cycles some of which had new symptoms like back and leg pains and really sore boobs. I think our body reacts to TTC differently. Try acupuncture or yoga to relieve the pain.

AFM: Bleeding started, officialy CD1. This is cycle #10, and hopefully the one, I would love to give DH a baby for his bday in August .
to all!!!

Hi, hopeful -- I used to be really open about TTC but the longer it's gone on that I haven't gotten pregnant, the more awkward the topic becomes. I figure people can assume we've stopped trying or can't get pregnant, and fortunately, few pry now.

I've only let a very small number of people know that we're doing IVF, and I've been very vague about it. Maybe later (and if it works) will I share more, but right now I have some friends who I just think would feel uncomfortable, and that isn't helpful to me.

It is why these forums are so important, and I'm grateful to have it.

Koti- Awww damn AF! Iâ??m happy to see youâ??re in good spirits!!

gds3- Trust me, I understand what you mean. A month after my wedding, my then 18 year old step sister announced her 2nd pregnancy (she terminated the first 6 months earlier). I knew I had PCOS and knew it was going to take some work to get pregnant. So, when I found out, I told my dad â??you all left her home to get pregnant!â?? I was soooo annoyed! (PS we had a destination wedding)

Steph- I havenâ??t but I see a lot of women on these boards do and have great success.

Hopful- I had some back pain my last cycle. I went in yesterday for some testing and my RE saw a cyst on my ultrasound. He said that was more than likely the cause of the pain. He also said the cyst would dissolve on its own.

Ssurra- Iâ??m not comfortable discussing it either. My mother has known for a while now. The only reason I told her is because she knew something wasnâ??t right with me (which she always does) and I ended up crying on her shoulder about it. I just told my dad, sister, and best friend but they donâ??t know the full story. They just know that we have decided to see a fertility specialist. Oh, and my DH told my inlaws. Iâ??m a little pissed he told his brother though. His wife and I have not been on good terms for a while now. If he told her I know she would say something to me out of the way. The thought of that makes be crazy!

blushing - I think part of why it's so hard is because pregnancy is such a "trend" almost these days. They way we celebrity bump-watch, the topic has somehow become fair game in everyday conversation. I'm sure everyone here has had those awkward experiences were an acquaintance or stranger asks about your child-bearing plans. Weird!

Tomorrow I go in for baseline, and well, I guess we're really doing this! Fortunately, my doc has prescribed a plan that does not involve the progesterone shots (in the bum), which I hear are so painful. Just have to get used to the stomach shots. I've heard working out is difficult, I hope that's not the case for me. My gym classes are a healthy outlet for me.

Anyone else venturing into IVF?

Okay I am officially here.... ugh! DH 35, I'm 33. I have a DS from previous marriage who is 14... DH has daughter who is 10 from previous marriage. We have been TTC since October 2010 and started fertility treatments (Clomid at first) in June 2011. Was referred to RE in August 2012 and was switched from Clomid to Letrozole. I have had 3 m/c in 10 months. This cycle I am doing Letrozole CD 3-7, then starting on CD 7 I start Follistem injectibles until I have 3-4- mature follicles and then I do Ovidrel and BD like a mad person 24 and 36 hours later... then we wait and see. I will do progesterone suppositories after O... oh and I have been told NO EARLY TESTING... I'm pretty ticked about that one. LOL!

Well that is my update and summary of me! :)
