Ladies!... I’m so excited. Today is the day that I meet with the RE!

Since many of the names in this chat are so familiar to me, which means we have all been trying for months, can I ask each of you how many months/years it has been since you started ttc?

Hey Ruby- I have been here on CTP since the June 2017 Forum. But we are on the 7th Cycle of TTC..

We have started trying on September but I took a break on October/November ( because I had job interviews and wasn’t sure about the maternity policy at new job) and then we started trying on december and now I’m waiting for AF to finish so we can try again. So I would say 3-4 cycles now .
Maybe we can say how old we are so we get better ideas.
Well I’m 30 Dh is 32 and we are trying for #1
When I hear people “accidentally “ get pregnant I almost can’t belive it , worst than that when they say they didn’t know they were pregnant for few months , I mean we symptom spotting Lek crazy and they don’t even notice they missed their period .

Well I hope all of you guys get you BFP this cycle.

@Ruby
We are on cycle 2 ttc for #2. We were fortunate enough to conceive on cycle 2 with #1, last June.

@katyfootballmomma. Awe, that's so sweet that I was able to help you through your darkest times in TTC. I didn't know I meant that much to some people on here.

@Ruby0709. We have been trying since April-May.

CD6. Not much to report here. Started temping again and took my first OPK yesterday which was a flat "no". I am going to order the progesterone cream (original; not lavender as I don't think I need the balancer) today and hope it gets here in time for me to start using it. Last night I dreamt that I was pregnant and something went wrong as I fainted on the floor and I saw my daughter standing close by me. The people had to call the ambulance and then I woke up. Not sure what was about but sure it is nothing to worry about.

ETA- after reading more about the progesterone cream, it is the exact same thing, just that one smells and the other one doesn't and both are a balancer.

Hi Ladies. Moving on over here for good now. AF showed up yesterday evening. The cramps are much worse and last longer since I came off of BC. We're sad about not conceiving again this past cycle but look forward to trying again of course. I should O around DH's birthday this month and he seemed happy about that. We will go with preseed again and I'm going to take baby aspirin and see if that helps.

For the stats question this will be our 5th cycle TTC. I'm 30 and DH is 30. This is our first time ttc.

@FlamingoGirl13. So truely sorry that AF showed up for you. Was praying you would get your BFP. Hope the baby asprin helps this cycle.

@neamasie absolutely not it actually had the opposite effect your words fueled my faith.

@beautiful yes I remember your post gave me hope actually thank you for the reminder!

Tgif and baby dust

Flamingo girl- I’m so sorry af showed for you. Welcome to the October board,
Hoping this is the month for you!

AFM- I got my positive opk early yesterday morning. We bd then( as well as the night before that) and then again late last night. Not sure my dh has it in him again for tonight. He has been so stressed out lately.
I read a great article on the best days to have sex to get pregnant. It actually said waiting till positive opk can be too late. It’s best to already have sperm waiting in the tubes. Sperm go through a change as well inside the tubes and fresh ejaculated sperm that havent gone through this change are less likely to fertilize an egg.
I’m going to try and find the link for it.

My df and I have been together for 2.5 years, no protection during this whole time. Silently ttc but actively trying for since this past September, so 4 months of talking about adding an addition to our family and actively ttc if this makes sense lol it just breaks my heart when df rubs and kisses my belly because I know that he wants a babee so bad. But we will continue to try harder and patiently wait on the lord to answer our prayers.
