Sarah: In that case I hope we both catch these eggs and October will be our lucky month :)

Basia! I'm thinking ovulation is today or tomorrow. I'm ready to start my TWW. Hoping I conceive, I even started eating Brazil nuts and drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day. I was reading it can help with implantation. Are you an early tester? I usually start around 7DPO haha.

Thanks, SarahNoelle & Blakeley. I haven't tried opks yet. Since I think I have it narrowed down to a 3 day window I'm not sure it'll be worth the money.Maybe I should just to be sure. I've been charting temps and noting when I have slight cramps mid cycle and all signs point to those 3 days. I have noticed some inconsistency with temping though. Then I got lazy about doing it for a while.
Do you ladies still have a glass or two of wine during ths two week wait?

Ready4babies87, wow both of you have new jobs, that's stressful. We just moved and that's been stressful & exciting. Hope its all going well!

jj1009: Seems like you have it down pretty well. I have never tried temping, just the OPKs. I haven't had any alcohol since December 31st. It was my birthday so I had a few shots with friends but I normally avoid any alcohol since I started trying. I also avoid it now because of my blood condition but I don't think it would hurt. It's not going to effect the baby and red wine is good for you.

I think I'm going to join the bus for October with all you lovelies! With my past cycles being semi even, I should ovulate around the 15th. My edd this cycle would be October 8th. So very excited! We have been ntnp since July, but have been a little more proactive about since September. Wishing everyone baby dust!

Jj-

I hear you....we haven't told anyone either so it's hard not having anyone to talk to. So I enjoy all the stories too and hopefully we all will get BFP's soon!! This is our 2nd month TTC ... I knew my fertile days last month with OPK's but for whatever reason it didn't happen :/ but hopefully this month it will. Baby dust to you!!!

Firsttime: Thanks. I think I will go see my doctor regarding the progesterone after the vacation. I checked online and it seems it still a little low, it says 30 or more to confirm ovulation and sustain pregnancy, and this is a good cycle for me without spotting so I guess I have some progesterone issues. I'm hoping the doctor will agree to send me to monthly checks to see if it improves with the acupuncture and seed cycling.
As for OPK, you are supposed to check in the evening, not with FMU. Same time everyday, I hope you ovulate soon and catch that egg. You're taking progesterone this cycle?

aclark: sorry got you, but October is a good month, tons of !

Basia: Welcome and !

Sarah: Sorry for the medical issues, must be hard. We have history in the family with stuff related to the female reproductive system, but I have an aversion to doctors and hospitals so I will try anything else before I got there. But it has been a year, so I guess it is time to start checking stuff slowly. I hope you'll get a sticky bean soon!

jj1009: If you have EWCM, don't start trying stuff yet, try naturally. You are so lucky with the regular cycles, try to start BD about a week before ovulation every other day and then the three day leading do and two days after everyday to maximize chances.
Sarah is right Preseed is great, if you want to use a lubricant, use that .
As for OPK, you can get cheap ones online on amazon and stuff, worth a try.
As for drinking, I did not drink in the first months trying, but later on I had a drink or two sometimes, but I try to keep the drinking for and first two weeks. But I am not a bif drinker so I rarely drink anyway. Some places say to avoid alcohol, other say it is ok because the baby is on a not on your blood supply in teh begining, I guess you do what makes you feel better.

ready4babies: Welcome and !

rabbit: Welcome and !

AFM: 8/10DPO, I think it must be 10 because it feels like will be here soon. Looks like my 26 of progesterone is not the best result, its not too bad, but could be better. I checked online and it seems it still a little low, it says 30 or more to confirm ovulation and sustain pregnancy, and this is a good cycle for me without spotting so I guess I have some progesterone issues. I'm hoping the doctor will agree to send me to monthly checks to see if it improves with the acupuncture and seed cycling.
Anyway, to all you ladies!

I try not to test too early. Plus so far I almost always was spotting before period so I knew I was not pregnant.
Question for you girls...

My ovulation tests were positive for two days but temperature did not jump significantly... maybe only .3 degrees... is it possible to have LH test positive and not ovulate?

Hey ladies hope you don't mind me joining. Cycle 39-40 (lost count)... spotting started tonight so AF should be full force tomorrow.. finally! I think I am like CD 38 or something. Anyways, I am going back on the Letrozole and that big regiment of stuff my RE has me on.... next cycle we will go back into the injections. My hubby thinks this will be the cycle because my 14 year old son will be 15 on October 9th, my step-daughter will be 11 October 18th and my brother and 2 nephews have October b-days.

It was nice to take a month off with no pills, no POAS no anything, but it is time to get back to it... My eggs are only getting older and this over 3 year journey has to be ending soon.

Back again....this is 9 months TTC. I took about four months off from the boards because I was getting too down and out. I am 7 DPO and not very hopeful that this is the month. I have PMS symptoms, sore BBS and mood swing so I am pretty sure aunt flo is on her way :( I am still using OPKs , not charting. I found it to be too stressful for me. I would always forget to take my temp...etc. Well, I send baby dust to all of those in the TWW!
