Hey ladies,

I'm on CD3 and its almost over thank goodness. I am going to do the mucinex thing but instead of mucinex I found an all natural syrup for kids that is suppose to works the same . I'm going to try that first when should I start and how much do you all think?

Hello ladies,

aquadpd welcome as well and and thank you for the wishes

Miam my temps dropped even more today so maybe today is ovulation?

Baby Angel good luck as well and welcome

AFM i understand your pain. I have been ttc forever!! i have been discouraged so many times but each found the courage to come back. Part of it , is because of you ladies in this forum. So thank you for keeping me going. So my temps dropped even more today and I feel some heaviness around my hips area (ovaries). No positive OPK so far and no EWCM but maybe later in the day. I am also using preseed, vitamins.

Good morning ladies. CD 12 woke up with O pain and feel very sore across my entire groin area. BD last night, not sure if anything to do with it. Wasn't anything rough, actually very loving and romantic tilted my pelvis for 20 mins afterward. Need to repeat for best chance

Hi all. I'm CD 8 and looking forward to this weekend where DH and I will get some alone time (finally!) without kids. Hopefully I'll O early, because I leave on a business trip on Monday for two weeks. DH is going to drive up to DC and see me next wed, the day before I'm scheduled to O so we don't waste the month.

Been on this journey for 8 months now (for the second time), and tomorrow will be 10 months since I lost my son. I just wish my body would cooperate - my empty arms are aching.

Happy baby making to the rest of you - I hope January sees a lot of new babies come into the world and hopefully belong to us.

Nice to see I'll have some company for this cycle. I'm on cd9 and have my donor set up for Friday and saturday and I usually ovulated cd11 or 12 which would make it saturday or sunday. He is leaving me some frozen donations for me to use the couple days following ovulation as well. Fingers crossed

Lalou - sounds like O is getting ready to arrive. Just keep testing and bd every other day until you know for sure.

Chicks - You have that bd down and bd timed right so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Calvingirl - I know what you mean about 'your empty arms are aching'. I know my heart has so much love to give and I just want to get the chance to experience it again.

Fruitloops - sounds promising!

I believe there's a few of us who are cycle buddies here! Right on. More support during that TWW!! ATM - I'm just dealing with really bad headaches due to the weather. So ready to be done with them!!! Hurt so bad that we didn't bd last night, but I tested low for opk anyway. Temp shot way up this morning... probably due to headache.

Lalou,
I see your big dip. Did you test today? If so make sure you test tonight too. It looks good fingers crossed for you!!

Good luck ladies!!

AFM- I'm on CD -4 and only spotting now. I can see the light at the end lol. I know this is AF but I feel so different this cycle. I am super dizzy and have this rocking feeling. I feel like I'm on a boat. Normally once AF starts all my symptoms go away except some mild cramping. This time my boobs are still really sore still feel sick maybe cause the rocking feeling. And definitely more crampy then normal. WTH!!! If this doesn't stop soon I'm going to the doctor.

Well about what I figured, no repeat on the BD tonight. Dh fell asleep on the couch while I was rocking dd to sleep. I just turned off the tv and went to bed. Now he is snoring and dd is Kong fu kicking me in the back. So tomorrow will be 1DPO and I'll have a long a$$ tww based on Bding one time the night before O. One small chance. At our age it's a very small chance. I will continue my vitamins, eating healthy and exercise and focusing on not getting stressed about this.

Hi ladies, sorry I've been avoiding this site for most of my cycle.

Bit of a story to share with you all.

During my miscarriage in November , I confided in one of my 'best friends (best friend A). The very next morning she told me she had taken a pregnancy test and she was pregnant and was due in August and wasn't sure if it was too raw to be telling me.(I had just passed everything the night before following our catchup). I was so hurt. I was happy for her but as time went on I became so bitter about the whole situation and her lack of empathy for me.

Best friend B messaged me the day that she found out Best friend A had told me already and asked if I was okay and to express how sorry she was for Best friend A's actions. She has been there for me during these last 6 months.

A few days ago I got a really long message from Best friend B telling me she needed to tell me something and she had reworded this message so many times and there just never was a good time to tell me. She's due in June and expecting a little girl. I was also due in June. She had also experienced a miscarriage in the middle of last year and she had wanted to tell me so many times not to give up hope and that everything would work out.

I cried so much. I'm over the moon for her. She's been nothing but amazing to me and I was crying because I was so touched by her actions. She's kept her pregnancy a secret to protect me because she knew how much I've been hurting and she's in her third trimester now and wanted me to help her pick a cot out. I'm so sad that I wasn't able to celebrate her pregnancy with her but I completely understand why she did it and I am so grateful for her kind gesture.

I love this friend so much for what she's done for me and I'm so happy that her partner and her will finally have their little princess and I can't meet their little one.

The stark contrast between these two friends, and the amount of kindness one friend has shown me has only highlighted the lack of empathy friend A gave me and it's made me resent friend A.

I'm not saying friend A should have hid her pregnancy, but telling me the day after I've just confided my pain and grief in you is not what a friend should be doing.

I'm on cycle #10 TTC#1 and 7 or 8 DPO now. No symptoms. I'm feeling down. I want to stay positive but I think I'm at the point where I'm waiting to reach the 1 year mark so I can go to a doctor. I'm sort of just focussing on Friend B's pregnancy and shopping for nice things for her little princess instead.

Hi Ladies,

How is it going?

I got a 'peak' on my clearblue OPK. So we BD'd this morning. Also BD'd the night before yesterday. Will try to repeat it tonight. Been spotting since morning. Don't know what it means! Don't know how hopeful I could be this cycle. Didn't have a period to start the cycle.

Best,
DP
