August 2018 Babies
I was in July but AF has arrived with a vengeance so I'm moving on to TTC an August baby.
Technically this is my 2nd cycle TTC. We started in spring and conceived right away but it ended in a loss. So the first month we were able to try again was October. DH is a truck driver so that makes TTC very difficult. My midwife called in BCP for me today, and I'm going to take them for 2 weeks to delay ovulation so that it will match DH home time for the next 4 months. I'm also Homozygous MTHFR and clotting disorder, so I am on baby aspirin, prenatals with methylfolate, and will start lydia Pinkham when I stop BCP. I need O to occur between Nov 24-29. Any earlier and we will miss it. We are swaying Girl, but only because they are harder to get (for us) and plan two more children total. I'll be happy with whatever we get though!

Hey Penny,
Where are you in your cycle? When is your period due? Usually the cervix is low before AF arrives and will feel hard like the tip of your nose, if pregnancy has occured the cervix will go soft and high but keep in mind this can Take up to six weeks. As you have to use your whole finger id say thats a positive sign so far!x

Morning ladies - how is everyone today? Dragonfly, I am hoping it's just implantation bleeding or early spotting for you!
Penney - any updates?
I am definitely getting the itch to test, but am trying hard to hold off!!! I am only 11dpo so didn't bother this morning, but am contemplating tomorrow or Tuesday morning. I only have cheapies in the house at the moment, so if I test and there is the hint of something, I can go out and get a proper test for DH on Wed before he leaves town. What do you think?

Midnight- We have been ttcing for so long that I am tired of getting BFN's, so try to hold off as much as possible. Some pinching/cramping (but nothing different than other cycles), the fatigue is new though, slept for 8 hours Friday night, 3 hours yesterday afternoon and was still in bed by 10pm and slept for 8 hours again. We'll see how I feel tomorrow!

@twwtoolong - I bought some cheapies the other day too and was thinking of maybe testing early this time around... I do still want to hold off until 12 or 13 DPO to up the chances of not getting false negative. I'm nervous about testing though but I have two cheap tests and 3 more expensive ones. Let us know if you test tomorrow morning! Crossing my fingers for you.
@Dragonfly - I hope you have a relaxing next few weeks. You are in the right mindset. If AF comes then she comes and you just think positive thoughts and let mother nature run her course. I'm thinking about you.
AFM - My temperature went back up today so I was happy to see that. If it stays up the next few days I'll feel better about testing early with my cheap tests.
