My husband and I have been TTC our first since September and I think I will be ovulating from Jan9-11. I use OPK's since I have an average cycle length of 36 days. Please give us baby dust and prayers. I know there are couples who have been trying much longer but I swear my depression gets worse with every month that I get a BFN. I have friends and family with babies or babies on the way and its hard. We are both 32 and I never thought I would be waiting this long to be a mother. Baby Dust!!!!

Hello Ladies, I'm also jumping on the October 2014 bandwagon! If I conceive this month my EDD would be 6th October 2014. Me & my husband have been TTC since July 2013 using only OPKs, this is my first month temping! Happy new year & baby dust to all <3

pennylane: sorry got you. I love October too (Oct 17 is my BDAY ).

leighalistic: Welcome and . You are right most people here have been trying for longer, but what we all know is that the pain and depression starts with the first and it is never easy so we are here for you. Depression is not good, makes it harder to concieve, you are still early in the process so you need to make sure you find things to relieve the stress now before you fall into the TTC depression spiral that is very hard to get out of. So working out, acupuncture, yoga, things like that help you relax and get pregnant. All the best !

EmmaLucy: Welcome and . Temping is a great addition, helps confirm ovulation and tells you how long your LP is. !

AFM: I'm 4/6DPO today depending on the site you check (CTP or FF), I will be testing early on Saturday or Sunday morning before our vacation it will be 10/12DPO hope I know if to expect on my vacation or pray for a sticky bean.
Progesterone testing will be Thursday, unless my parent bring their laptop to the vacation I won't know the results until I am back on the 20th.
Other than that all is good, excited about vacation and really scared of the hope I have been feeling, that and a can make this a very depressing vacation....

Well ladies came on Sunday so I am officially on the October board..... if I were to conceive this month my EDD would be 10/12 which is a day after my DH birthday

Just saying HI...nothing new really going on here. I get my thyroid levels tested next week, I pray they are ok. The goal was IUI in February. but we are hoping to boost our chances with vitamins and lowering stress levels. I finally feel more peace about ttc and not so brought down by it all. I'm not using OPKs this month again mainly b/c I haven't gotten the chance to get them and it's almost my fertile time. I may get some from Amazon for next cycle.

Sending baby dust to everyone!

Tfor: So sorry got you. But a birthday gift for your DH would be a great gift , this cycle!

pbc: I am for good thyroid results for you too!!! and maybe you'll get a sticky bean without IUI!!!

Hey, been randomly stopping in to keep up with you guys. Welcome to the new gals and sorry to everyone that the witch just got! DH took the boys in for a SA, hopefully results by Monday. Tomorrow I have the sono HSG, keep fx'd for me there's nothing major wrong and we up my fertility chances! Ntnp this month, but if I get progesterone to try I'm guessing I gotta track O, darn.... Oh well. CD 9 or 10 today. Laters, baby dust!

Good luck with the sono HSG! Hopefully all is well for both you and the little swimmers! Let is know how everything goes.

Thanks kotikd! I haven't been very good with taking my medicine over the holidays as I wasn't getting up in the mornings for work (since I was off). They said with my condition, finding the right dosage could be tricky, I really hoping to get this thing regulated!

Hello ladies, I'm now officially in the October group. If we get lucky this cycle we will have an edd of 15th. Good luck everyone, lots of baby dust

firsttime: for you, don't forget to take bunch advil/tylanol before you go in.

pbc: It must be so hard, the whole process of finding the dosage and all that. I hope it all gets better fast.

blakeley: Sorry got you, for October 2014.

AFM: Nothing to report. I'm really paranoid about getting sick before my vacation. Feeling a little hot today, got a bit of a cough, I hope it goes away by the end of the day...
to all the ladies here
