@alex yeah so here we can actually choose whether we want a c section or normal birth so it's not a big deal but yeah she was totally out of line with that and it doesn't make me any less of a mom than anyone who had normal birth idk

I have 27 day cycles and 12 day luteal phase so depending on the month I start testing around 10dpo - ish so cd25? But I do think that keeping on baby dancing is a good idea to catch that egg !!

@anna Yeah 10dpo is what I had in mind. Unfortunately every month I say to my self not test too early and that I will wait till 10-11 dpo but somehow I end in the bathroom peeing on a stick at 6dpo ???? ofcource till now i got only disappointment and from 6dpo to AF I keep convincing my self that it was “too early” or a “faulty test” or that I am the one who got a bfp too late etc.... I tried once not to order hpts earlier than 10dpo but I’m so addicted that I ended going at the pharmacy (the only place in my country where we can by hpts) buying super expensive hpts compared to the ones I order from the internet (Frer, strips etc)
If anyone have any suggestions how to stop myself from testing too early I’m all ears!! I’m only hurting my self...

@alex yeah I hear you girl a couple of cycle ago I started testing at 3dpo and of course negative... What really helps this time is I didnt believe my ovulation dates so I dont know when to start testing lol so that for sure works

Anna, that's bullshit that people were being mean about a c section.
Personally csections terrify me, not sure why but they seem so scary! So more power to any woman who chooses that route or has to have one.
I'm not sure what my birth plan is. Definitely in a hospital, I would like to say as natural as possible.... but I'll cross that bridge when I'm pregnant

Hi everyone!

I want to join!

I am sooooo new to posting on boards and sharing my story concerning this! Mostly, I have been the anonymous lurker! But, after reading all the positive comments and getting a true sense of the community, I HAVE to jump in and get some of this baby dust and overall positively!

My wife and I ( ) have been TTC for three months now via IUI and donor sperm. We already have a 5 year old that she carried. So, it's my turn! Never actually thought about conceiving. Never thought I could, honestly. But we started exploring the option and all tests confirmed that I am capable. I had my 3rd IUI on Monday and I am currently in the 2WW (CD15). The anxiety is killing me! Also, I think keeping it bottled up is probably the worst of it! That's why I am hear to share and receive from all of you.

Here's to hoping everyone is having a good month!

Hello! Just checking in... anyone else going all out this cycle? The past two cycles, I've been taking my BBT (but my thermometer sucked so I'm using a different one) and using OPKs, (trying) to check CM and taking prenatals. But I'm also adding raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil and pre-seed. Hoping that it will do the trick since my hubby has surgery next Monday, right at the beginning of my fertile window so our BD might be a bit less.

Hey all ! TTC #3 , after 2 MC last Dec and in July. Been nervous about the whole thing , but should be about 6dpo today ! I have doing everything i can to stay busy and not dig into any possible symptoms , but today I just feel so naesous and yucky. Worried it coulld just be a winter bug. Tested earlier for the heck of it and BF.N. This ttw stinks....

Welcome to the group ladies :)
Everyone is here is wonderful and super supportive. Hopefully the 2ww goes quickly!

Thank you so much for all of your words of encouragement sweeties! Waiting on cd 1 :) My husband’s been so wonderful and supportive because he was very disappointed as well

@espence I am with you! C sections terrify me too! Giving birth in general actually scares me, but the thought of the recovery from being cut open actually makes me nauseous lol 11lb babies scare me too

@anna you do you though! I worked with a girl at my old job whose husband worked really far away and she was afraid her water would break at work and someone else would have to take her to the hospital so she scheduled a c section. To each their own.
