TWW for July
Just wanted a post for all of us entering the TWW in July. I stopped taking clomid and am trying natural this cycle.I was curious if anyone else is taking a break from meds and ttc naturally.If so I would love to hear from you and see if any of us get a BFP!!
Ruby, yeah I can't believe I o'ed so late. I feel like these last months of bd'ing, although fun and not all work, was really a waste of time since we never went past cd 15-16. I am just hoping that I'll be able to pinpoint O again this month. I know bd'ing later has to increase my chances. I feel so much more hopeful now!! How do you like the ov watch? I've seen it but just never knew how accurate it was. I'm not a huge fan of opk's but then again this last month was the first month I got a + b/c I actually continued testing past cd14. Thanks again :)
natalie, it's so great you're figuring out your true ovulation time. i tend to ovulate between CD16 and CD21 myself. i was using OV Watch and i'm pretty sure we actually conceived on CD21. i think this will tremendously increase your odds! if you bbt for at least 3 cycles you'll have a pretty good picture... best of luck!!
You probably already have done this, but do you take that G***************** don't know how to spell it! LOL But its that robitusm....hmmm, I don't know how to spell that either!!!!
Anyway, I only took it a few times, but it REALLY made a difference! I would have kept taking it, but we were on a little vacation & I forgot it. But like I said, I could really tell.

I am glad to see that you are bbt'ing and using opk's later! It really has helped me alot.I tend to ovulate anywhere from cd14-cd18.It really helped us find the right days to bd.I start to use opk's on cd 12 testing in the afternoon. I bought my opk's and got a negative of course. I ovulate every month but my problem seems to be that I have no fertile cm.
It's so true! Laughter is the best medicine. when I find myself down, one of the kids say or do something so funny and it cheers me right up.
This is my first month bbt and I actually o'ed on cd18. It really leads me to believe that we were missing our chance. I always thought I o'ed on cd14 so we never bd'ed past cd15 or 16. It could just be a fluke but I'm hoping it's not. That would make sense if we haven't been bd'ing on the right days. Also the months prior to this, I could never get a +opk but I was always testing from cd11-14 and then just figuring I took the test wrong. I'm optimistic now b/c maybe we'll get somewhere bd'ing on the right days.
Good luck to all of you ttc'ers, we'll get there!

Natalie- Sorry to hear about AF arriving.
TTC can be a rolllercoaster ride! But I hope that all of your ups and downs be between the sheets! LOL
Live life and laugh at least once every day!

Well, I'm at the end of the tww and still no af. Now I'm late and have no pg symptoms. According to FF I am 10dpo and here on medhelp I'm 11dpo. Wouldn't I have some symptoms by now? Well I know I o'ed late...cd18 and I normally O on cd14 so that probably accounts for af being late.
Anyone else still in the tww for July? I'm going crazy here! I guess I'll just have to wait it out. I can't bring myself to test, I hate seeing that bfn.

selaiwa: i think that is a great approach and a great attitude towards the whole thing! men can be just as confused and conflicted as we are... wanting something but not wanting to want it. you know? so as long as he is staying in, it is still completely within the realm of possibility that you could get pregnant. it is such a tricky thing to try and not-try at the same time. i have yet to figure that one out. :P
Thank you guys so much for your support!I am going to get some opk's today and just go for it.I am just going to go with the flow and whatever will be will be!
I agree, just go with it. I have never been able to figure out what goes through their minds but on some level it seems he still wants to try.
I KNOW exactly how you feel. My husband I know really wanted another baby for years, I wasn't totally ready (we have 3 busy kids!) & then I was all into it, & we had several road bumps, ovarian cyst, lap. surgery, 2 mc.'s & DnC. He is "supporting" me w/me going thru fertility treatments, cuz he knows how strongly I feel. BUT every now n then he's like " I think were done" "we need to just stop at some point"
I think for him (maybe the same for you) Its hard for him to see me hurt, both emotionally & physically.
But I KNOW he wants another baby (or2!) Its just that its been tough the past 1.5+ years!
Good luck, I think you should "TTC" & just not "talk about it" :)

Selaiwa, that is a great surprise! I would just go with it, get the opk's and go for it!! It does sound like he wants another baby, too. Good luck this month, fingers crossed and lots of ssbd!
I am a little confused with my husband. Last month after a natural cycle with a bfn,he told me that he was ready to stop ttc and wanted us to just go on with our life and that he was happy and our family was complete .I am confused because(sorry if tmi) he usually uses the withdrawal method but now he just comes inside of me all the time.I think that subconciously he wants another child but doesn't want to get hopes up since we haven't been able to concieve for 6 months.I don't want to say anything to him because I just want him to try it his own way. I think that I will go buy a couple opk's from the $ store and find out if I will O soon.I am cd11 and last month I ovulated on cd 15 so I have about 3-4 days to go.
Well, I'm 7dpo and had some cramps and a lower backache for 3 or 4 hours. I'm thinking af is right around the corner. My temps are still up but am really nervous to see what it will be tomorrow. I don't want to see a dip. I'm just tired of this tww, I feel like I get more anxious each month. Oh well, I don't think I will have long to wait. AF is due in 4 days. I still have nop idea of when I o'ed either. I got a positive opk and then didn't have a rise in temps for 4 days. Any ideas?
Well, good luck to all that are in the tww and so sorry to all those who are out this month. There's always the next time. I guess some of us are just tired of waiting til next time...lol

I'm out! Took beta today, really didn't want to bother w/it & really the only reason why I took it was because I only have 1 tube/ovary I wanted to make sure I wasn't. I didn't want to hear that my beta was @ a 12, or 25 or something like that when I know it should be at least at 100 @ 14DPO.
I'm pretty bummed, even though I totally expected it :( sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now UGLY AF needs to come for a visit so I can START ALL OVER AGAIN!

selaiwa: south beach is a great diet, good for you! that is a diet that can become a lifestyle and won't make you feel deprived. DH and i do a loose form of the Zone diet and we feel so much better. (started about 3 months ago after my m/c.)
A_muse4u: i'm sorry to hear about your BFN. you are such a warm and welcoming presence here for new peeps like me. you deserve all the happiness in the world and i hope that you get exactly what you are praying for!
all: i'm happy to report that we got a BFP yesterday. very clear, too! i keep talking to the little soul who is on his/her way, saying we're gonna go all the way this time! trying to do lots of positive visualizations, too. i will be so happy to get through to the 2nd trimester. between now and then i will just be taking every day as it comes! yesterday i stuffed my shirt and was walking around the house with my big "pregnant" belly, making DH laugh and call me a psycho. ;)
i am much healthier than i was 6 months ago. but AFAIK, my progesterone still runs quite low. soooo, i will be discussing progesterone suppositories with my naturopath & midwife asap. (ie, this week). i want to do everything i possibly can to keep this baby healthy, strong and viable all the way through to the end. please pray for me that we make a go of it this time. i will be praying for everyone in this forum to see that blessed second pink line.

A_Muse4u-I am so sorry to hear about AF!! I hope that they can tell you something at your appt to help.
Well I am still doing the slim and 6 program. Today I went up to the next level. It kicked my ***.I am sore all over my entire body but I did it!! I am going to workout even though it hurts because it helps loosen up my muscles.I can really feel the effects of the squats,lunges,pushups,and crunches the most!! I weighed myself before working out and after and guess what? I lost 1 lb just after todays workout!! Yay!! Now, if only I could get up from this chair! ( OUCH!) I need to take some motrin!
Baby dust to everyone!!

selaiwa: That's great that you're exercising and losing weight!!! I'm happy to read you're happier, now! O:-)
All: As for me, my BFP may have vanished. AF came down full-force, yesterday. By the lOOks of it, I probably had an early m/c. I am still keeping my u/s on 07/23 to see what's going on inside and to discuss everything w/Dr.
We thought, for sure, it would work, this time. The vaccines didn't seem to aid the implantation, again. The first time, I didn't have the vaccine and it turned my BFP into a CP. This time we'll see what info they give me nxt wk.
May God continue to bless all of the mommies w/their HH pregnancies & deliveries.
