The Official TTC Thread!

DD- Thanks, and yes, it was pretty fast. I went off the pill in August I think. Have not been trying in the sense of charting and such, but not trying to avoid either. I was trying to see if my cycle was regular, figure out CM (which I never did) and such before I started temping. I mean, we knew it could happen, but I really didn''t think it would. Especially because I don''t really know when I O, and even if we managed to catch it, the 40% chance made it seem highly unlikely. I was going to start temping and using OPK sticks this month actually. Figures, huh?

And for those of you that worry about not getting enough BD''ing in- this month was actually not very active for us, due to travel and work schedules and each of us getting sick at different times. So we basically BD''d on the 15th, 16th, and then again around the 21 or 22. That''s it. So it can happen with not a lot of BDing! I basically just tried to go with the flow- if I felt super sexy-time, or it seemed like there might be a lot of CM, we went for it. I figured if I felt amorous, that was probably a good indicator. I am guessing I O''d on the 15 or 16 and not the 21/22, only because the pregnancy test was not faint, which I would figure it would be if I had been only 11 DPO when I tested. But who knows.

Also, for more background info: I am 34, almost 35. Was on the pill for 10 years straight, took a year off, then have been on again for another 5 years.

Thanks for the answer on the folic acid everyone. I think I will just stick to the regular prenatal, and ask my doctor when I go in.

Ok, well if the calculator I found thru google is accurate, then I am due around August 9, 2009. Yikes, that sounds very real! And they guess I am about 4 weeks! What??????? This is all so crazy.

Congrats China Cat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It''s only a matter of time before y''all get KTFU and move on over to le pregg-thread.

China Cat - if that EDD is correct, then you''re due on my Wedding Anniversary!

Congrats! Sticky. Sticky. Sticky.

I know a lot of you are feeling down, and a bit burnt out. Hang in there. It''s only a matter of time. Feh, we hear that all the time, but it''s true. It''s just timing. There is nothing more that you can do (because you''re all doing everything right...), it all comes down to time.

urgh. time.

Baby Dusting you all from a far, with love.

China, my bfp at 10dpo wasn''t all that light and came up pretty quickly. I was convinced I''d O''d earlier, but my dating u/s proved I hadn''t and was actually 10dpo at bfp.

Thanks InLuv and Festy!

Quick question: for all of you on prenatals, do you also take an additional folic acid supplement? I have been, but the pharmacist gave me a weird look when I told him that and asked me why. I didn't really have a good answer, other than because I read it on the internet!

My prenatal is OTC and it says it has 100% of daily recommended of the folic acid. Is it overkill to take the folic acid as well? Can it hurt?

And yes, I will ask my OB/GYN but they aren't open yet. Just curious! TIA-
Click to expand...
CC, I take 5mg of folic acid a day - which is more than 10 times the recommended daily dose - as I take anti-epileptic drugs. I understand that even if I took a whole months supply of mine at once, the worst it would do is possibly give me a bit of nausea. You can't OD on it!

If you have a history of neural tube defects in your family or take certain meds, they will normally advise moving to 1mg a day.

I'm interested that in the US you are all taking pre-natals. In the UK, we're not advised to take them once you are pg unless there is an identified medical deficiency. This is because they can make your m/s worse (especially if they contain a lot of iron) and because those people who go to the effort of taking them also tend to be the same people who pay attention to their diet.
 
Thanks Mela!

Robbie- Yeah, I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info. So I will just tell my doctor I don''t know then!

Pandora- Interesting. That makes sense. I often wonder about how all of the stuff we are told- I know our parents generation certainly didn''t take prenatals, drank coffee, etc. I think the culture is overwhelmingly cautious over here in all areas. I know most of the stuff we know now is better obviously, like about caffeine, but it''s not like scores of children born to our parents had major issues. I will ask my OB/GYN, she is pretty laid back and doesn''t mind the questions. I guess it''s better to be safe than sorry. But I have heard of a lot of women where it makes their morning sickness worse and they are told to quit taking the prenatals.
 
China Cat, that is just wonderful!!!!

Major sticky vibes for you!!!!! I'm sure the holidays will be extra joyous for you this year.

I haven't been posting as much lately because it's finals period (2 down, 2 to go!), but I wanted to say hi! I may have ovulated today, but we'll know soon (see positive OPK below on day 42). When this cycle is over (I don't think it will lead to pregnancy since I'm ovulating so late, but we'll see) I have an appointment with my ob/gyn to hopefully start Clomid. I'm just not willing to have a 3rd super long cycle in a row. I've been off the pill for more than 6 months, and I want to be proactive in getting my cycle and my ovulation to right itself in a way that will make my body as receptive as possible to a pregnancy.

Fisher, we feel exactly the same way as far as yearning, dreaming, and hoping to become parents nearly every second of every day. But it seems like most of you are very pro waiting and letting this take a "natural" course. That's great if you know from your chart or Fertell results or whatever that you have a 20% chance of getting pregnant each cycle or you're in no rush to become a parent. But personally I'm not sure I'm at the 20% anymore. I don't care about the particulars of how I get there, I just want to get there! I'm ready. I know that no matter how my child is conceived that won't matter one bit. For us, the truly special and miraculous part of this process doesn't even begin until gamete becomes zygote and haploid becomes diploid and (eventually, if all goes well 9 months later) we have a CHILD to call our own. I have just known too may people who tried for a very long time on their own and then found out they didn't even have a chance in the first place. If I can do anything possible to increase my chances in a way that won't detriment my body or my future baby, I will assuredly do it! And no, that doesn't mean that you guys should adopt or share my feelings.

ChinaCat congratulations!!! That is so awesome :) Sticky wishes for your little bean!

I''m on vacay so I''m not around much. Temping at the same time every morning is prooving a tad difficult. Especially here on vacation in a slightly different time zone. Hopefully when I get home it will be better. I tried posting my chart but its too big and I cant figure out how to resize on my hubbys computer. Nothing much is happening yet anyways:) I''m just waiting for things to kick in. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Peony, I hear ya. Actually I was pondering the same thing this weekend. Today is CD48 for me and I still haven''t O''d, and it''s doubtful I will, although today is my 10th or so straight day of EWCM. Strange.... I was looking at my chart today and realized that it''s been a month and a half of just waiting to O! At this point I should be getting ready to O in a second cycle, not still waiting around! I was thinking today I don''t know if I want to go through another cycle like this one- spanning about two months or so. Not at this point where time is so precious. I was also considering visiting my doc to get a prescription of Clomid for the next cycle - if not to help make sure I O, but also to make me O earlier - since my O''s have been a bit late since coming off the Pill - on average, CD19-20. I know that''s not necessarily a bad thing....but still, I really feel ready to do whatever it takes in these next coming months.

It''s good that you may have finally O''d though. I guess tomorrow''s temp will help clarify that. It is possible to conceive even with such a late O. I was doing some research on that this weekend and read lots of stories of women who had healthy pregnancies with very late O''s - CD30 and over.

Re: the Clomid again, have you thought about the side effects ?

Does anyone here have any experience with Clomid? Does it really make your fertile cm dry up, and does it really help push up your O?

EBree used clomid for one cycle, there is lots of comments from her about it a few months back in this thread. And Dr. K used it for a while earlier in the year. I do recall Dr. K talking about the negative effects on her CM after a couple months in a row of using it, which I have read is the most common side-effect and also one that typically necessitates IUI in conjuntion with clomid. Anyways, hopefully Dr. K can chime in.
 
Thanks for that info, Peony and dreamer! I hope it''s still relatively easy to check cervical mucus when taking Clomid. Else, how would you know when to BD? Anyway, I''ll check out the links and do some research as well.
 
Sha, most people use OPKs when they''re on Clomid. I use them now and really like them. They''re my most useful fertility sign to predict ovulation. Of course, only BBT confirms it.

Oh, okay! I didn''t know that. That makes sense and takes a lot of guesswork out of it, I suppose.

Hmmm....so maybe I can look at ordering some of those online then, for my next cycle. Thanks for that info!

On another note, are you feeling hopeful about conceiving this cycle, if you did O?

ChinaCat, I''m late...but congrats on your BFP!!!
36.gif


I hope we have some more BFP''s around here soon...!
 
Sha, I like the OPKs from early-pregnancy-tests.com: http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/pacof3ovtess.html. They have excellent reviews.

You need to have access to a small stash of disposable cups to collect your urine in each time you take one, or you can buy the midstream ones for slightly more $. They have been absolutely essential for me, as my cycles aren''t regular and my CM is hard to gauge.

As far as this cycle, I can''t say that I''m optimistic, but I haven''t completely lost hope yet! Thanks for asking. DH is more optimistic than me. I must say, he is amazing. Totally with me on charting, BDing whenever we think we need to even if he''s exhausted, being proactive with everything, calming me down with I''m despairing, etc. We know about 4 people who''ve gotten pregnant recently (just acquaintances, not friends really), and he knew just the right way to sensitively inquire about their road to pregnancy to see if they had any info that could help us. Turns out two of them conceived with Clomid and had a very similar experience with their cycles as I am having. I have been emailing with one of them, and she is just WONDERFUL!!! Just the sweetest and most encouraging person, even though I''ve only met her twice.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK to everyone!!!!!!!!!!

For OPKs, I''d also recommend the cheapest ones from babywishes.org. She used them on peeonastick.com, and she showed pictures of what positive ones looked like. If I hadn''t had those pics, no way would I have read them correctly! They are supposedly a little wider than normal ones, too.

Good Morning All!

I hope you all had fantastic weekends! My company''s Christmas Party was on Friday and it was such a blast! It was my first one so I didn''t know what to expect. We had a wonderful meal, an open bar, and all the ladies (including wives of the male employees) received gifts from Dillards (perfume and a ton of Elizabeth Arden makeup). DH & I had so much fun!

Anyway...CD6...boring

My VIP membership on FF expires tomorrow. I don''t really think I''m going to renew it unless someone can talk me into it. Anyone really see the benefit of having it?
 
Well gosh darn it then!
20.gif
That settles it! If the pregnant "man" is pregnant again and women are giving birth in their 70s (albeit not with their own eggs, I'm sure!), we should be able to do this.
28.gif



ETA: InLuv, the only benefit I saw to the FF membership (and I renewed it twice!) was that you can ask questions on the VIP board from an "expert." One of these said experts did tell me not to worry that my positive OPK has happening mid-rise, but that's about it. I doubt that I'll renew mine after it runs out next.

Another note: the OPKs on babywishes.com (at least the first type that comes up) are the same as I ones I bought at early-pregnancy-tests. I used the code turkey22 to get 10% off my order from the latter website--hopefully it still works.
 
Mkay... IVF at 70. Where to begin?

Hey, Peony, I think it''s great that you have a plan and that DH is on board with it. Who cares what others are doing, as long as you guys like what you''re doing.

Oh, let''s see. Went to DH''s xmas party this weekend. It was fun enough, although the president of the company''s ditzy wife was not only asking DH if we plan to have kids, she asked if I was pregnant! Krikey. (Didn''t think I looked pregnant, thank ya very much). It''s hard now that we''ve been married for a whole 5 months...people are starting to ask questions. After seeing us at Thanksgiving DH''s mom told him that she''d hoped we''d have a big announcement. He didn''t say anything to her in response, but I wish he''d said, "so did we." At least that way she''d know we''re trying and maybe back off a little. She also "reminded" him that if we get pregnant now, he''ll be 50 when our child is 3. Thanks for the math lesson. She''s coming to visit at xmas and I need to talk to DH about being a little more up-front with her. I''m hoping we can at least manage her expectations.

I vent, but in general I feel good, thanks for listening! One more thing - this will be my third month charting and given that my cycles have been extremely regular, I''m seriously considering not temping for a little while. It screws with my sleep and makes me obsess a little too much. We''ll see how I feel in a few weeks though. Thoughts are appreciated.

Festy - Because I''m somewhat of a control freak, I don''t think I could give up the temping all together, but giving it up after confirming O did wonders for me. I slept better and didn''t feel the stress of watching the temp to see if it was falling near the end of my cycle. Just my 2 cents...
1.gif
 
Hey guys, I''m 16dpo and CD31. I''m usually a 28 day-er, and still at BFN. I have a feeling I''m going to be on one of those weird wonky cycles- last one was after our 4th of July vacay to Hawaii, this time I have nothing to blame.
15.gif
I''m not optimistic at ALL this cycle, and I hate being later than usual. Paul is like, maybe we got it this month? I just smiled because it''s cute that he asked, but I''m not even pretending I''m hopeful there will be a BFP.

No, right now I''m just waiting waiting waiting for the stupid period to come so I can get started on next cycle. Huff. I''m on my third renew at FF, it''s like I''m paranoid to lose my VIP membership, with the fear I won''t know when I ovulate by myself (hello, OPKs galore, though??).

Oh well, at least I''m mostly done with x-mas shopping and A Charlie Brown Christmas comes on tonight. We got our tree on Saturday and spent last night putting up the lights and the angel. All the ornaments are down, and we made cider last night, but we just didn''t have it in us to decorate.

Inluv, I can''t stop temping because it''s my last thread of hoping every month, but I must say it''s not helping me.

Sorry guys, a bit of a bummer monday for me. I spent Friday night doing a holiday walk (a walk down Montana Avenue in Santa Monica here in LA, where all the stores are open and hand out snacks like cupcakes and fudge and cider and stuff) with my MIL who kept repeating over and over when passing kid''s stores, "Well, we have no need to go THERE, do we?!" Yeah, thanks. Then she put in a request for our first born: a girl, please? Blah.

Hope all of you are well today. I spilled hot chocolate on my sweater. Those mad skills one needs to hold a cup steady seem to be lacking.
 
Festy, I think that if you''re able to track at least one reliable fertility sign, you can chuck the temping. However, my caveat is that I too had three super predictable cycles in a row before my cycle went to hell (coming off the pill recently though). I would have totally missed a potenial O if I hadn''t been temping. As it was, I didn''t get a BFP regardless.

As stressed as I was during my 44-day cycle at least I had a very clear record of what occured, which helped when I saw my ob/gyn (plus I didn''t take a zillion pregnancy tests).
 
Ugh, sorry that your MIL was so annoying. I''m lucky to have a great one. It''s my mom who''s being nutty about this TTC thing. She thinks there''s something wrong with me since all four of her kids were conceived either on the first try or accidentally. Her theories are really weird. Something about how I broke a mercury thermometer in my bedroom when I was working on a science project in elementary school and I have mercury poisoning or I got too many x-rays for my back issues and my eggs are no good, etc. She brought up egg donation a few times.
40.gif


By the way, FF will still tell you when you Oed without having a paid membership. I think the features the VIP membership provides are more specific things like charting searching.
 
Amber I am not trying to read anything into anything here, but isn't your LP usually 14 days? It is very unusual to have a longer LP by 2 whole days... I think I told you my suspicion about that longish LP this summer...

Festy If your CF is very clear about when you are ovulating, then you probably don't need to temp... but if you still don't have a handle on the goo then maybe you want to try the temping shortcut: start temping on about CD8-10 (depending on when you usually ovulate, you want to start 2-3 days prior to O-day) and then stop once ovulation is confirmed. Then you only need to temp about 6-8 days per month and it will let you know you O'd (though no cross-hairs, but we don't need those if the temp shift is obivous and you know your pattern.)
 
Peony- Wow, you seriously have an amazing DH. So sweet and supportive. I know you are frustrated, but the way you and DH are working together on this means you will be great parents! You guys are a team, for sure. At least this time has shown you what a truly great guy you've married. As far as not waiting for it to happen naturally- I think everyone is different and you have to do what feels right and is best for you. I am not sure how long you've been temping and TTC- for some reason I think it's either 3 or 6 months- but it can't hurt to check out options. For me, I was a bit on the scared side (still am) so going about it naturally was really my way of letting fate take its course. If I had been at the point where I wanted to get preggo right now, no matter what, I am not sure I would have waited much past 6 months. I know so many women who had small issues that once they figured them out and had them cleared up, got preggo pretty quickly. Partly because of my age, but if it hadn't happened for us by 6 months, I for sure would be checking to make sure all was okay. You are relatively young, right, and I bet all is fine. But I wholeheartedly support you in whatever you do (not that you need my support!).

Festy, Amber, Peony- WTF with the comments from Moms/MIL's.
23.gif
That is out of control. Do they all know that you are trying and want this badly? I can't imagine ever saying that to anyone. Amber, I would have burst into tears or wanted to slap her. This is why I haven't told anyone IRL we were trying or at least letting things happen. WAY too much pressure. Though I might tell them just to get them to back off. A sincere "I know you didn't mean to hurt my feelings by saying that, but you should know I want a baby as much as you do, and we are doing everything we can" might shut them up. Geez! My mom actually tries to talk me into it all the time, I think she is worried that I am so freaked out by it that I will never willingly get pregnant. She's in for a surprise!

Amber- I know you are having a hard time, but even your "downer" emails make me smile. Your sense of humor manages to survive even your grumpy posts! Wishing many good things for you in the New Year. And I love Montana, I miss LA. Sounds like a beautiful evening (minus wanting to just shove your MIL into those baby stores and take off running).

Hope everyone has a good day.

ETA: Hi InLuv! I totally didn't recognize your new avi, and was wondering who the new poster was. Somehow completely skipped over your screen name! And DD, your approach for Festy sounds perfect and practical, as usual. That's what I would do if I were you Festy.
 
Good advice, thanks guys. I may just chuck the thermometer after O is confirmed this cycle and see how I handle it. I also worry that my cycles will suddenly turn wonky, but I've had 6 in a row after BCP that were like clock work, so knock on wood etc.

Amber, that's frustrating. Any chance you O'd later than you think you did? Your MIL needs some lessons in manners. I really truly hope that when I become a mother-in-law I remember this experience and never ever say things like that to my kid(s).
 
Hola ladies. Sitting here listening to my Jason Mraz/John Mayer/Jack Johnson Pandora station, and feeling mighty acidrefluxy. I have had the WORST heartburn/acid reflux lately, I actually have tums in my purse now. It''s that bad. Then again, perhaps not the best idea to be eating Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies for breakfast. So there''s that.

Let''s see... DD, I am usually a 14 dayer, and almost ALWAYS O on day 14/15 of the month. My OPK and EW agree with a cd15 o date, and well, it''s just not on this month. It''s kind of weird.

My MIL is usually not so bad, but now that we''re the only kids with no kids she''s a bit mouth frothy for a girl, as there is just one out of 4 grandkids so far.

So yeah, hopefully something interesting happens in the area of my danger-zone soon, good OR bad, I just want SOMETHING to let me know things are working like clockwork.
 
Amber- Oh no, only one girl out of four? The horror!!! Our kid will be the first grandkid (hopefully at least; I''d just die if my BIL impregnated his 18-year-old girlfriend before I got pregnant, although apparently they HAVE picked out names for their kids), so he/she will probably get a crazy amount of attention/presents.

Have you thought about testing, or are you a waiting-until-I-miss-my-period-by-a-lot kind of girl?

Well, I tested twice last week.

And both were BFNs, I considered testing this am, but DH was in the shower and I just held it until work, which is not conducive to tinkling in a cup. Which reminds me, since DH is a coach, we get all sorts of neat gatorade cups to use for my testing. There is no way I could do a mid-stream test.
