Phat-I still have 2 rounds that don't expire til next year but I'm going to see what happens at least for this cycle since I was on bc for 4 months.

Had my follow up appt yesterday .. main reason I don't like having 7 different ob's in 1 office - you see a different 1 every time & their opinions are night & day. Last 1 said 'they use to say to wait but not anymore, you can start ttc asap'. The 1 yesterday said the same BUT also said 'personally I would recommended waiting at least 2 cycles'. Positive opks finally after almost 4 weeks since d&c, I was all for jumping back in until yesterday. I don't have long to think about it!! What to do??!!!!

Jessica - just try again right away. They're all playing a guessing game. Do what feels right to you for your family.

Jace's mama, if you feel physically ok, go for it. Go by how you are feeling in your recovery. I wasn't ready to start trying until a few months after my ectopic surgery.

Went for it :) not very hopeful since we only got 1 in on day of + opks, but I'm pretty sure we only bd once on the last cycle that I had my bfp soooo fingers crossed & a lot of prayers!! I really believe that going ahead with ttc will help more than waiting ..

I can't wait to see your BFP!

Love your enthusiasm!! I know I'd still worry everyday whenever I do see 2 lines again, I just think it'd be easier than waiting & not trying. Hard to believe I would've been 17 weeks this week! Knowing I would've been able to feel my lil one moving around about this time makes it a lot harder but after I talked to my ob yesterday I do feel calmer & more at peace. We had a good talk & he's convinced he'll be seeing me again in a few months. Wished I thought as positive as he did! Getting there though.

Jessica - aw, I know that has to be so tough, really. I'm glad you're feeling better overall. I just wish I could give you a big, squeezy hug right now. <3

AFM, I'm going batshit in my 2WW. Using OSOM hCG Combo tests. They're about $40 for 25, cassette type, and have been known to pick up as low as 2.5mIU of hCG in urine. Only issue is, as we age our bodies produce more hCG in many instances. Being 41 & not having a baseline from before TTC, I have no clue if I have any naturally occurring in my system. I've had a bunch of lines after the time frame, usually starting around 20-30 minutes, but I'm not sure if I'm seeing progression. These are not supposed to give evaps (if you buy these don't get the Urine only ones - they do give evaps). They're used in hospitals, clinics, etc. I've talked to a lady on here who said she's never gotten an evap and her + always took a long time to come up at first and a while to get darker and start showing up in the time frame. So, I'm just waiting around hoping they'll get darker. I finally had some kind of a line show up in the first 10 minutes last night, and I'm holding my breath hoping right now.

Thanks phat, virtual hugs work too!! I'm soooo hopeful for you!! Can't wait to see :)

Think I've got time to get another in :) has + opk yesterday & STRONG o pains today!! A lot stronger than usual, guess its just everything trying to normalize. Sorry that I haven't had time to get back to each of you individually, finally getting emotions to some kind of balance & I've had my niece & nephew the last couple days so my nerves are shot!!! But I love you all & am praying constantly for all!!

Jace's mama I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers your way. I'm glad things are normalizing for you and you got in some bding. I hope you caught that egg

Phat I can't wait to see how this turns out! for you.

Afm I think af is on her way out and it'll be interesting to see how this cycle turns out. I got my pregnancy tests and I started temping Monday, just waiting for ov tests and fertilaid. It feels so surreal to be doing this again.
