MommyTTC - hi welcome! Glad to have you join. I’m CD 3 too, right there with you!

Louise- I can understand that. I don’t see my DH Sunday’s- Tuesday’s. And I always end up O-ing on a Tuesday!! Ahhh
It’s frustrating trying to work around all that.

I’m joining you ladies! CD 3 it is ????

Glad to see so many ladies joining in! I’m CD 5 today and feeling great. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day.

Welcome Mommy and Bakers!! FX for you!!

Colie: OMG I would loooove any amount of time spent on vacation in Europe..LOL. That will be perfect for letting your cares just go away. I really hope that long break has you coming back all knocked up ...hehehe

Jrosie: I thought of ttc and was like "UGH"...I am enjoying myself so much. I'm not temping or even planning on using Opks. I just want to breathe. Being so old I can't take a year off (though tempting) but I can distress. While I hope this cycle is it I am making some drastic changes to my diet. Its 99% whole foods, water, supplements and liquids. I do not over eat and have taking down how much and when I eat to certain hours.. I am working on dropping in weight and fixing my cholesterol levels. I feel tons better.

Louise: HUGS....yes, when Jrosie was gone for a bit. I was so lonely....rofl. It was ridiculous. I tried being on other sites but it was hard to find a calm group with like interests just ttc with total support and no judging. Its can be a long an painful road. I don't care if others get pregnant and I'm still trying which is usually the case ....I want to be along for that journey too because it is so exciting!

Well, I'm cd5 and chilling like a poloar bear. Starting to feel twings in my my bbs and I'm lik OH NO YOU DON"T. The earliest I've ovulated was cd7......not enough maturing time though it has worked for some. Praying it holds off until cd12 at aleast. Oh wait I think I know what it is, I am taking Red Raspberry Tea Leaf tabs. Suppose to help tone uterus which is why by bbs keep fretting about.

It is so nice to have ladies to gab with!! Sorry if I gab alot. Feel free to do the same. Jrosie knows I can talk alot...

Luv FX that’s what happens for us! I’m hoping this holiday puts some more fun into TTC because I have to admit there are times when it starts to feel more or less like chore to catch the egg.

Way to go on your healthy lifestyle changes, it sounds like you are killing it!!

When are all you ladies expecting to O?

Hi everyone!

Hope everyone has had a good day. I’m soo ready for the weekend. Hopefully it will be nice a relaxing. I was in the 2ww last weekend, so not so relaxing lol

Colie- I should O around Aug 1st -ish. Feels like forever away!

Luv- I do love your gabbing! Lol your always keeping things interesting. Good for you taking charge of your life style and diet!! I’m trying to! And it’s pretty amazing for you to go without temping or opk’s. I just couldn’t do it! Although I have only been doing it for a few months so still learning my cycles. I need to know more of a pattern before I even think about doing that. But it should be less stressful for you!

Good morning ladies!!! I had a decent Friday. Fasting is going well. My bladder thinks I am crazy with all the water intake and peeing but my stomach is receding more than expected. Bloat is having a hard time sticking around with me avoiding processed foods as much as possible. Thank you both for the encouragement!!

I should O between Wednesday and Saturday. Wednesday being my normal early O day at cd12. It might get delayed with the added stress of diet change but it will be cool to see.

Colie: I wish it was bding time in my house...hehehe. Weekends are perfect for it. During the week it can be a chore because after work, shores, and trying to relax....well, sleep happens Praying you get all the well timed bding needed this cycle.

Jrosie: It took many cycles for me to get to the point of not needing opks/temping. I have suffer from mittelschmerz so its not hard to miss O day. Yet, my cervix tightens up during this event, making it hard for anything to get in. Including sperm I'm afraid. Its very painful for like 4 hours and then calms down. I plan to sneak in some bding after it has calmed down as well as right before.
I think this will be my last time trying super hard for a spell though. I just might have landed myself a big promotion at work and being preggo would make things a bit rough over the next few months. I say this like there is a good chance of me getting pregnant Hasn't happened in years! But you know what they say when you least think about it

Still early and I need to get more rest. Have a beautiful weekend!!

Luv- I’m so proud of you for committing to a diet change!! Don’t think of it as a diet, it’s a life style change!! Sometimes it’s easier to think of it as that! Which it is.
Congratulations on a promotion! That is great! Even if you did get preggo during this transition at work, you would be fine! You are woman, and we are powerful beings, capable of things we don’t even think we are possible!!
I’m ready to get bding too! Especially because it’s the weekend. I totally understand trying to take care of business during the week, it’s exhausting! My fertile window starts next Friday. So we will get some bding in next Friday and Saturday, then again the following Wednesday (O day). I wish I would O on a Sunday!! Then I could bd everyday leading up to it!! O-ing in the middle of the week the last few cycles is not working!!! between exhaustion and hubby not here sun thru tues, we just aren’t catching that egg. All I can do is keep trying and doing what I can, maybe this will be our month!

Have a fabulous weekend!

ROFL Jrosie, I would love to have the weekend to bd to and O on MOnday and be doen with it. LOL Thank you for the encourgagment!!!!

Strangely I feel like I might O on Monday. My left ovary feels very strange. I hope its not a cyst.

Ok, popped on here to peak in on you ladies. I am so tired and need to rest. I walked a ton today.

HUGS and baby dust!!

NO ovulation for me today. Nope. I was taking Red Raspberry Leaf tabs and it lowered my bbt and I guess has changed my hormones??? I had breast aches here and there but no ewcm or any true signs of O coming. My FRER opk is getting gradually darker but not killer dark. I am out of OPKS. I won't be home this weekend for bding so we will have to make the most of tomorrow and Friday....lol.

How is everyone else?
