It has been that way with me as well Nicole. I feel great today. The coconut oil sounds nice, never really thought to use it as a lube before..

Got my first blinky smiley face this morning. Few more days.... :-)

Checking in, ladies! Glad to see that this thread is active!

I'm pretty sure that AF is starting today (a day early) and that we will definitely be trying for our June Bug. If I'm not mistaken and the witch is actually here, my EDD will be June 13. (If I'm wrong, I'm still looking at a late May EDD.)

Since my m/c in June, I've been having really wonky cycles with O on CD14-16 (based on temps and OPKs) and short luteal phases, between 9-12 days. It's frustrating. Fortunately a friend and fellow teacher from school gave me a whole bunch of OPKs and HPTs (including a FRER!) that she doesn't need (she's PG and due in January), so that should save me some money for the next month or so.

RPope Yay, get to it girl!!

Bookish That's awesome that you got all that stuff for free! I'm trying to stick with temping this cycle since I skipped days on the OPKS because I was busy, at least until I'm pretty sure I O'd. I think I did yesterday though... Hope so!

Calvin I used Omega Complete (with GLA) until O, and soft cup once last cycle when I got pg. I actually just took a soft cup out lol. I think I already O'd, but I needed to get up and cook dinner right away, so it contained the mess if nothing else

Hey everyone!

I don't post much and this past month I rarely checked the boards-took some time off after a chemical and just having a lot happening.

Got blood drawn for a hormone test and have to get an HSG soon...probably be starting clomid in October, but hoping I get prego after the HSG!

Cd 12, been doing OPK since day 5...waiting to O is definitely worse than TWW. I got a positive OPK on CD 15 - 17 last month. ..so hopefully I don't have much longer to go...3 to 5 days.

Alright, ladies... Fingers crossed for me. AF was due today. I spotted a little yesterday (was streaked with pink and pinkish/creamy when I wiped, but nothing on a pad all day) and some brownish/tan spotting this morning. Absolutely NONE of my regular AF symptoms (except sore boobs). If she hasn't shown by Wednesday, I'm going to test with FMU on Thursday.

Of course, this could all just be wishful thinking, but I think that this could be it. DH and I have been talking a lot about what we want to name another baby in the past few days (we had names chosen, but have changed our minds), and when we were at Target earlier today, we just naturally browsed through the car seat, carrier, and stroller aisles (we were in that dept. because DD still uses baby wipes when she uses the bathroom, since she's not a good wiper with TP alone). There was nothing forced or awkward about being there, looking at and discussing the products we want/want to use this time around, and there has been every other time we've gone over there since we started trying.

As it stands, I still have no idea exactly what's going on with my cycles since m/c. I'm so confused.

I'll make sure to keep everyone updated, but if you could send some happy thoughts and my way, it would definitely be appreciated!

I'll jump in on this one :) If I conceive this month we would have an early June baby! My O day is tomorrow and I'm so anxious.

Good morning ladies! So sad/happy to see so many of you move over from May's board.

I've been really good at just going with the flow this month. DH has his follow-up SA on Thursday morning, which means no BDing after tonight. Should O tomorrow, but we'll see. We all know those ovaries do what they want.

I'm feeling a little ambivalent about getting pg this cycle. Late last week I made an appointment with my GP (for next Tuesday) about tapering off my anti-depressant, so I feel like if I get pregnant this month, that's great, but if not, that's ok too.

and to all!

Hey girls :)
This cycle we are doing something completely different. First time on Clomid and IUI. I took Clomid CD 3-7. On CD#9 I started to test with OPKs. On CD10 I got a positive OPK with Clearblue digital but felt like something was off and took few different ones and they were all negative (close but not there yet). My Dr ordered blood work and ultrasound for me on Saturday. I got 3 promising follicles. One 13mm on my right ovary. It turned out that my LH base levels are high so that is why I got that positive (but not really) OPK.
I just re-did my ultrasound and blood work and should get my results this afternoon. I just know that follicle grew and it is 15 mm today.

So my body is taking its sweet ass time. At least few more days before I ovulate. They expect the follicles to be about 20+ mm with Clomid (if body responds to it). At this point I am a bit overwhelmed and annoyed and sad and who knows what else.
