Good morning Ladies,

While - FX that you catch that egg before you go to the RE, but good luck to you either way.

Elizebeth - Have fun BDing! Hope you catch that egg.

AFM - Well my temp dropped again, though not to the cover line and not quite to the point it was on Saturday. All of which is unusual for me. I pretty much like clockwork have my temp drop to or below the cover line on 14 DPO... this is making me hope that it's finally happened but my test came up BFN this morning. I suppose I'll just have to keep taking them every day until either AF shows up or I get my BFP but this extension on the TWW is driving me nuts. Also I'm leaving to travel home for the holidays on Thursday so I'm hoping it comes up BFP before then or that AF shows her face, either way at least I'd know.

Hi ladies. This is my 15th cycle ttc with no success. However, I believe we finally know what the problem is. So I cant wait for AF to come in 5 days time so that I can have a new start at ttc, which will hopefully lead to a BFP in the near future.

feeling like i am out already.....another slight temp drop again today at 6dpo........don't think this is my month either. feeling down :(

@Holly860 - I can't imagine how I would feel about that! My step sister announced the same thing earlier this year, about a month after my surgery, and I thought ... seriously?!?! ... So sorry

@Elizebeth87 - Congrats on the dark opk! Catch that egg! and to you!

@Rerun15 - Thanks for the info! I will definitely check into all of that!

@surprise - Sorry you think you're out for this month, but FX you figured out the issue and get a BFP soon!

@awebste - I am sorry you feel out already! I hate symptom spotting during the TWW, it never helps my mood! Praying things turn around for you and you see that pretty BFP!

AFM - I was going to start temping this month, but I do not think my thermometer is working correctly anymore. I checked it at night just to make sure it would work and it said my temp was 96.6! Yesterday was 97.0. I do not think my temps are that low, so I need to get another thermometer. I'm at CD9 and last month I didn't get a positive OPK until CD22, so do you think I would still benefit from temping if I bought a new one today and started tomorrow morning?

Oh, and has anyone tried Preseed yet?? I was thinking about trying it as well, but haven't heard much about it.

and to all who are still in it for this month!!

so i have + opk since cd 15. today cd 18 took opk using a clinical guard and new choice.. clinical guard was - and the new choice was + I guess this would be the lh surge coming back down?
can't rely on my bbt this month around cd 8 or so I thought I was coming down with the flu so my bbt was higher than usual... then the past few days didn't get much sleep because my little one was sick
I still believe that ovulated on cd 16
bd on cd 15,16,and 17
fingers crossed that we caught the egg this cycle

While-GL! I see an RE on January 7th! Praying we both get our BFP's and won't need it! RE is 3 hours away so I'm really hoping for a miracle and won't need it. I'm not holding my breath though since we have been doing this for so long with so many disappointments.

Margie- FX u get your BFP!

Suprise- GL! Glad to hear u know what's wrong! Unexplained infertility sux!

Nharty- I have used pressed the last couple cycles avd it hasn't done anything for me. But if u use it, make sure u don't use too much. A little goes a long way!

AFM-CD6. Just waiting to ovulate. Should ovulate on Christmas day. Super depressed I didn't get my BFP last week. Each month gets harder and harder. Another girl at work announced her pregnancy. This is getting old. I find myself just getting pist on the inside while everyone else is cheering. But I put on a happy face and go about my day.

Good luck to everyone waiting to ovulate or test!

@TTCLate30's - I hear ya. Hoping, but not holding my breath. Maybe knowing the appointment is coming up will help us relax enough or something magical will happen and this will be our month. (-:

@nharty - I have used pressed and conceive plus. Got pregnant with our first baby using conceive plus. They both have great reviews. (-:

Hey ladies I'm on cd9. This our 3rd cycle trying. My cycles have been pretty good and steady so its looking like I'll ovulate on or just after xmas! What a wonderful present that would be. Our sons 3rd birthday is next month and I would love to find out right before then. Also my husband and mothers birthday are in September so that would be great! Baby dust to all!!

Good morning Ladies,

Welcome Hanna. Hopefully you'll get your BFP this month.

While - Good luck with the RE, FX that you will have already gotten your BFP before you go.

TTC - I know how you feel, I wanted scream at my boss when he annouced that his wife was pregnant. There are days when I just want to stop trying but then I remember that this is one of those things that I can't give up on. it's tdoo important.

Nharty - I've been using preseed for the past two months. It hasn't helped yet but I'm still hoping it will. though TTC is right a little really does go a long way.

Kelly - FXFU. hope you caught the eggy this month.

AFM - I'm now squarely in September. AF started full on shortly after I posted yesterday. I'm a little disappointed since I really thought since my temp hadn't dropped that much that this was finally it, but no such luck. My body found a new way to surprise and disappoint me. Realistically it would make the most sense for me to get my BFP this month coming as it would be the most inconvenient time as I would have to miss two weddings that I'm supposed to be standing in next fall.

Hi Ladies!

Mind if I join you?

I'm actually moving over from the July board. We are on cycle #22, even though we didn't TTC last month I am still counting it. I skipped August because I wasn't trying last month due to a mc I had Nov 10. The RN said to wait at least till I get 1 period before TTC again. So, since DH and I weren't even trying last cycle I took a break from everything. I took it extremely hard, emotionally, after the mc. But now that I got the all clear from the doctor on Friday after having a normal cycle. I am allowed to TTC on my own this cycle and if nothing happens this cycle we will do another IUI cycle next month. I see now that God had his reasons for us to not be pregnant yet. But now I am really looking forward to this cycle in TTC and/or even next cycle. FX'd this is it for us.

If I am lucky this month my EDD would be Sept 13...which happens to be my Grandmothers bday. I have never met her...she died before I was born but my mom says I am a lot like her. How exciting would that be to have a baby on her bday?!

I am also on CD10 so I should be O'ing early next week. Gonna start using the OPK's on Thursday or Friday but gonna start EOD BD'ing on Thursday night...DH is working nights for 2 months now so gotta try and work around his schedule.

I have been skimming through the posts and welcome to the newbies and so sorry to those that AF arrived.

Kiki2387: I am so sorry for your loss. Are you waiting till you have 1 AF or gonna continue TTC this month?

Holly860: It's sad when people are so insensitive to those of us who have been trying for so long. I would have been upset at the Christmas Party too...probably would have cut it short and left early. I think the worst part is is seeing irresponsible pregnant women drinking and smoking as well. Hang in there and hopefully we will have our LO's soon too.

nharty09: I don't think it would hurt if you went out and bought a thermometer today and started using it tomorrow morning. Most women use it just to prove they O'd. So, starting now and taking it first thing every morning should still be beneficial to you.

Also I have been using Preseed and LOVE the stuff. I use it almost every time we BD and you don't need a lot of it but it's great. Sometimes I use it inside or just put a little bit on the outside. It's basically the same as your ewcm. It is very safe to use during TTC. Just wish it wasn't so pricey. But thankfully I don't need a lot of it and it lasts at least a couple months.

I hope you ladies are having a good week and good to those of you O'ing and waiting to test!
