I really wish my memory was better. I read a couple posts then by the third one I've forgotten what I've already read...Lack of memory inherited from my mom. lol.

Anyway. Welcome Sarah and Kelli! Hope your TTC journey is short! :)

Beca, sorry AF came! I hope you get those OPKs soon! They are so wonderful. Gives you two or three days for sure to BD :) Hope you start feeling better soon!

Bug, I hope your wrong about AF.

WInts, Sorry AF came. I really hope clomid works for you the first month! I have a lot of friends that don't O on their own and 1 or 2 rounds of clomid was all they needed! GL

As for everyone else, I hope you get your BFPs soon!!!

I tested this morning. Got a . I really was expecting it but I've been becoming obsessive over the weekend with my boobs seeming to grow and my appetite being insatiable. But I have also been cramping all weekend and I started spotting yesterady and today....I am expecting her Wed or Thurs but I wouldn't be surprised if she came today the way I feel......

Name/Nickname: Amanda
Location: VA
Age/ DH's: 24/27
Cycles trying: this is number 15
Cycle length: 31ish days (I've been having cycles ranging from 29-36 days)
About your journey so far: Eh I've gone from completely totally obsessed with every tiny thing my body does to so relaxed I don't even know exactly what day my period is due unless I look at my calender. I'm about to go back to the OCD side of things and if we aren't lucky this cycle (about half way through it at this point) I'm going to start temping and checking CM again.

Hi everyone!

Name/Nickname: Elle
Location: NJ
Age/ DH's: 35/36
Cycles trying: a year without tracking anything, just 'not preventing'; started using opk's, cut down on caffeine, and taking vitamins since Feb,BBT & OPK since july
Cycle length: all over but on the longer side; 31-38
About your journey so far:
eh... I've gotten to the point where it's all I can think about during the 2ww, even though every time AF shows up I say I'm not going to obsess so much this time... which is why I spend most of my time here during the 2ww and then disappear the first week or two because I need a break.

Bug, I really hope AF doesn't show up..I'll be praying for you!!

Thanks ladies for all your help! You all are so amazing! I will be most likely testing on November 6th or 7th!! Not so far away!!! God Bless all you ladies!!

Connie, I hope I'm wrong too. So far shes still not came. I'm sorry about your BFN but the spotting could be implantation and give it a couple of days before testing again.

Amanda, Welcome. I understand the obsessing. I'm the same way.

Elle, welcome. I realize that I'm more away during the wait to O then during the 2ww because there isn't really anything to report so its like a breathier from the obsessing.

Aby, Thanks I really could use the prayers. Yes, not so far away from Nov. Wow where has the time gone. Fx'd this is your only cycle trying.

Just wanted to add my name to the list.

Good luck those of you testing soon! Praying we all get our BFPs this month :)

Hi girlies

I would like to say a huge Hi and Hello to new ladies, Im so pleased to have found this site forum and all of you. This place keeps me sane, and down to earth.

Thank you

Firstly, Bug, Dreams are always incredible. They always have some ways of makeing us feel so real. Im mean how is it when we are asleep and not in this world that our heads show us images of what we want so badly (or not) I love them as sometimes its the only way for me to feel the emotions that I know will come with being pregnant.
I had one the other night, I was breastfeeding, using the left breast, and a little boy. Strange, but I really felt it. Then I woke up.
I am really praying for you bug (and all ladies) but I really hope that AF stays away. I have to say, you have way more restraint than me, I would have tested probably 10 times by now. Much love

Bradsummer, go for it girl!!!! Very excited for you, I hope that you get what you wish for xxx Ill be watching for your BFP!!

Greekmum, Im sorry that AF showed up, big fat boooo to her. Im glad that you had a nice weekend and was able to get your mind off AF and BDing for a bit. Im glad that Hubby is feeling better. Its not easy when one of you isnt feeling well, and you have the BDing in the back of your mind all the time, (this is what happens for me anyway) It sometimes takes the "fun" out of it. But im sure he is bursting for a BDing month!!! Much love

Connieg, my memory is terrible too, it take me forever to reply to this board!! LOL (and im a slow typer) I really hope that AF stays away, keep that woman at bay!!! Hope that you are well though, I also hate the appetite thing, I wont mind when there is a paticular reason fofr the need for more food, but other wise its tormenting xx Much love

JessHillard, Thank you for letting me know I wasnt the only one feeling nervous about taking Clomid. I hope that you are well and that you have a BFP very soon, much love to you and your DH x

As for me, 2nd day of clomid, not too much to report actually. I took it at mid day as I work really early and then am off for the rest of the day. I did have very sore tops of my legs near my groin? Very achy? I went to bed with a hot water bottle between my legs! No pain in my stomach,head or back. So I dont know if thats the clomid or just me!
I have to say that I was really dissapointed that I didnt O Honestly I dont think I have any cycle. I got my period back march of this year, but looking back I think that I never really had any O pains or symptoms.
Now this is the only thing that Im dealing with... Is this me? or is this because I was on Depo for so long and my body is still not back to normal after 18 months? Dont get me wrong, Im happy with where im at, Sooo happy that I have this medication to help me, but this is in the back of my mind. On the other hand, Does it even matter? Either way this is where I would be ........ Sorry Just talking it out,
Just taking one day at a time, but I do feel more relaxed this month.
Anyway enough of my ramblings, im going to watch an episode of Friends, Its always good for a laugh

Keep on BDING

Much love to you all

Kelly, Dreams are incredible enough to the point I have always been a dreamer and tend to dream about what is going on in my life. relaxation would be good. I pray that you get your BFP on this first cycle of Clomid.

Connie and Kelly, I open notepad on my computer to type as I go while I read that way I don't have to remember everything and can type as I read. Then I just copy and paste it to the relpy.

So, today has been one of those days. I'm waiting on tonight to get over with so that I can wake up and check my BBT. Af still hasn't shown up and I think she may get here tomorrow or Wednesday. However, I'm hoping that when I awake in the morning I will have a rise in temp again. I'm confused to what dpo I am so its roughly 10 or 11. However, I keep reading into my temp drop and the fact that I O'd late as to why AF hasn't shown up today.

I have decided if AF does show up I'm going to try soy isofloanones from CD 1-5 and then use progesterone cream from O to uwanted AF or BFP. Since, I'm self diagnosing myself right now. I believe I have a LP issue so I'm trying natural things out before I have to go see a specialist. I know I O so thats not my problem, I know I have a short or borderline short LP. I know I may have scar tissue in my tubes. I'm just wondering which of these two issues is causing me to not get that BFP.

Well, I'm over analyzing again and I'm jumping off the net for the remainder of the day and I'll be back tomorrow with news of AF or a temp rise.Not testing till at least Oct22nd if AF doesn't show up in the next two days.

Loves!
