Southern I really hope to get your bfp in a week or so!! Fingers crossed.

Vintage so glad you’re feeling good! Hopefully it will be your lucky cycle!

Pandorica praying that this vacation of yours will do the trick for you guys. You so much deserve it!

Dragonfly Seems like yesterday when you got your bfp.. time flies..

Boymom congratulations!

Mill hey girl! So glad to see that your hubby is on board for trying new ways! I’m having everything crossed that you gonna have a new member in your family soon!
I totally understand how you feel... one year older my self too. Just turned 38 and still trying after almost ten years for my first... yea I know.. it’s time to get over it

AFM af came few days ago as she always does. I experienced big time depression this time since so many of people I know are getting pregnant or showing off their pregnant bellies. Hubby feels the same way too and we had a very rough holidays.. I don’t really know how to step out of the ttc..

Thank you ladies, I really hope this will do the trick too. If not, then I think it's definitely time to do some checkups.

@Alex - so sorry you're having a rough time right now.

Alex: hug* I'm sorry it's so rough for you. I wish I could say more to help.

Pandorica: hope you're enjoying that time off!

Ugh, spam.
Alex, I’m sorry things are so difficult right now. do you have any ability/desire to look into counseling? I know it’s a sensitive topic so you don’t have to answer. I can’t imagine how you feel.
Right now, I’m in my fertile window. Trying the four day digital ovulation tests this month, and I got the first high result yesterday on CD 10. Usually I get one positive result on day 14, so I was surprised. We’ll see how the rest of the week goes. So not stressing this month. I’ll BD when I feel like it and hope for the best.
Dragonfly, good luck with the next few weeks! I know it feels like they last wayyyy too long!

Vintage: I had a pretty good experience with the digital ovulation test. If this isn't my month I'm definitely gonna keep using those. They're a lot less confusing than the analog version that is very dependant on lighting. I hope things go well for you this month! I'm 7 dpo and feel like my hormones may have finally stabilized this month (particularly progesterone that loves to cause pregnancy symptoms when not preggo). I'm feeling much the same as the month I got my bfp with my daughter but I'm not reading into anything though. I'm making myself stay busy and focusing on wondering when my husband will find out if the army is sending us to Hawaii in June or not!

Happy New Year everyone!

This ttc journey is something isn't it? Each cycle seems to be a roller coaster of emotions you want to be positive but you want to protect your heart. Everyone keeps hinting about "baby #2" I want to deny I'm trying because of my complex history but dont want to block my blessing by saying no. Idk if that makes sense. Having so many losses everyone has an opinion so it's been hard and everyone around is announcing and saying you're next. It's just hard BUT I'm feeling positive about this month. Everything seems to have lined up. Now we just wait and see. I'm 5dpo today

Hi everyone and happy new year. I’m in the tww wait now. I’m not feeling too positive. This is my fifth postpartum cycle and third time trying for #2. Apparently at 40.5 years old I now have a 5% chance of conception each month. Why did I google that? I wish i hadn’t as it’s made me feel really down. I feel so blessed and lucky to have my first baby, and now feel like I have so much more I could still give to another child. I very much wanted the first baby and I want the second even more now that I know the magic of motherhood.

Apparently this month is just wonky. I got a peak fertility reading this evening, CD 11. I usually don’t do morning and evening tests, but I thought I would this month since I’m using the advanced OPKs. I can’t take another of the advanced after it shows peak fertility (the result stay on the reader for 48 hours) but I have a couple left of the regular- I’ll probably take one of those in the morning to see if it also shows a positive. Three days ahead of schedule- and very little chance of BD today or tomorrow. At least there was yesterday, i guess?

Pandorica thank you hun.
Hopefully you won’t have to do checkups. Fingers crossed!!

Southern I really hope this is your month! Keeping yourself busy is always the best.
Are you excited about Hawaii or is it something you prefer not to happen?

Vintage I never tried the digital opks and I hope they’ll work for you. I’m more on the “do it every other day around fertile days” kind of girl now since that’s how it supposed to work..
I would love to do some counseling but unfortunately COVID had us permanently close one of our business and move our dance studio to a smaller place. We’re also at a second lockdown now and for the past two months and we’re not able to work or get any serious financial help from the government so any extra expenses is out of thought at this moment and I believe for a while. We’re trying to move wisely with our finances so we won’t have to deal with bad situations.

Lizzie sending all my positive thoughts your way for a successful cycle. Most of the time, it is the surrounding that makes us feel worse about the ttc difficulties we might experience. I would love people to just understand that it is not their place to talk about another persons reproductive procedure. I’m getting very angry after all this years with anyone who’s trying to pass their opinion to a woman about babies. Pfff hopefully you’ll be able to take care of yourself and not let anyone make you feel any type of way about it! Good luck girl!

Russian hi! So glad to see you’re doing well and now trying for your second. Have your cycles came back fully normal? I know many ladies postpartum need some time till to get back to normal cycles. Hopefully you won’t have to try for too long!

AFM not much to share. Waiting for af to leave so I can keep trying. As I said a while before, it seems that I’ll keep trying till I hit menopause this cycle I’ll probably ovulate from my good side and it’s been a while now that hubby is taking supplements. He also found out that he had vitaminD deficiency and he’s taking supplements for this too. Doctor said that this alone could cause infertility like in my case.. so a tiny hope is with me this cycle. Better to hope than to be miserable I guess..

Alex: we're actually really, really hoping to get Hawaii! We're pretty sure it's gonna happen but we're just waiting for the army to make it official. Then starts the super long process of getting our dog ready and making all the plans to get us and our vehicles and all that ready. And if I get pregnant before we leave then that means we'll want to buy all the big furniture baby will need here on the mainland US since it's expensive to get stuff in Hawaii.... Lots to plan. Just waiting for it to be official so we CAN plan lol
