TTC JULY- friends needed

[petal88]

Hi gals,  well no joy last month.  I am now on cd day 4.  Anyone elses dreaded af arrive and on the roller coaster ride again this month? I had great support from everyone on last post so thought I'd start another one for this month.  

[Latrice414]

Ok, im counting down the days until july is over, and i will be waiting for the August friends needed, ttc.  So for those who have missed their mark this month, and going to try in august im right with you.  For those who are still waitingggg, much baby dust your way.

sticky baby dust to all you ttc's i'm not having any luck not o'ing damn,lol

[petal88]

Hey gals I have opened a new post called:  2 week wait- anyone want to wait with me?! Ahhhhh.  I thought as this one getting bit long I should open a fresh one so anyone want to come over to it please do... x

[shasy03]

Well...I guess I'm back in the running for july ttc also.  I had a miscarriage Sunday/Monday and the doc called me yet again today and said that my levels are back at 0 so I was okay to start trying....I really don't know if I am ready yet but at the same time....I don't know what I'm ready for at this point.  I feel that I'm moving to fast but at the same time I am just listening to the doctors.  I have never heard of a doctor telling you to try again directly this fast after a miscarriage.  I'm definatly not going to try until I see my doctor on tuesday.  But the week after that is my scheduled time to ovulate!  We'll see....good luck ladies.....

Hi B well how did weekend go?  Did you and dh get to see daughter? Hope all ok.. x

Well got 2nd high today on cbfm so that's good sign of normal estrogen levels thank goodness!  So should only be another day or so before I o.  I am going for 1st acupuncture session tomorrow and then after o- heard it helps normalise hormones etc and apparently it got the Prime Minister's wife preggers so if it's good enough for her! lol

How's everyone else doing?  

[northrncwgrl]

Haha, yes, mine definately doesn't complain! Though I'm pretty sure he wishes I was like this all the time! Darn, I didn't want to spoil him! lol. Mine has quit a few bad habits as well, though he still likes his nightcap, which I can live with.

Yes it does seem like forever of a wait till we can find out! I think I definately O'd over the weekend, or I am now and the weekend was just leading up to it. I used to be so good at figuring out exactly when, but atleast I can still figure out the timing give or take a couple days.

Sticky baby dust for everyone! :)

Hi Latrice welcome,  and thanks for the dust!  So sorry to hear about your loss..hugs to you.

Have you tried ebay for ovulation kits- I would highly recommend the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor- on ebay at the minute for nearly half retail price!  It is digital so you don't have to read results- you poas and put it into the monitor and it tells you when you are about to ovulate and when to bd.  I used it before and got pregnant 1st time but unfortunately lost baby so now ttc again.  This is my 2nd month using monitor again after my 1st af after m/c and I can see my cycle changed a bit last month- probably because body takes while to get back into sync. So it's really useful to see when my estrogen levels go high and when LH surge peaks.  Hopefully this month my cycle will be back to normal- I am on cd10 now and cbfm showing low- hopefully will go high in few days.  Oh by the way my af took 5 weeks to come after m/c  so don't be suprised if preg test still positive for while. I was shocked after few weeks when I used hpt to see if any hcg levels had gone back to 'normal' again.  I saw the 'fake' bfp- heartbreaking ..but they don't do hcg level tests in UK so only way to tell if my levels back down.. x

[Latrice414]

Much baby dust to all.  I wish i was ttc this month, i had d&c june 17th, waiting for AF to arrive sometime this month and going to ttc in august, so i will keep reading the post to see who gets sticky baby dust and to see who will be trying in august because i will.  Hope you all get BFP this month, im on my way to pick up hpt from the dollar store, i hate they dont sell the ovulation kits during the summer, they only do in the winter, i dont get that.

[petal88]

Well I'm on cd9 today and should o around cd14/15 so about 6 days to go before the 2ww.. Seems like lifetime away!

Yes the poor dhs are really under pressure aren't they... I have myn eating all sorts of concoctions at min and staying off alcohol.. he had to forgoe a boys night out to watch football finals other night...he isn't too happy but he knows it will all be worth it in end! And what man would ever complain about the perks of us gals throwing ourselves at them (well at least for a few days of the month lol! :) ) x

[northrncwgrl]

Thanks! Yes, I think I need sticky baby dust now! We'll see, I think I'm O early now, so I guess I'll have to try to be extra sweet to DH this weekend...  ;)

You must be close to the 2 week countdown?

[petal88]

Hi there, so sorry to hear about your loss.. I hope this month you get bfp.. baby dust to you. x

[petal88]

Many thanks B.  Oh dear I really hope she thinks of the child and lets her see her dad.. You and dh must be having terrible time being messed about like that.. last thing you both need..

As for me today went ok again.. hard but managed.  Trying best to be positive..x

[Becci2809]

I'm glad it wasnt too bad yesterday, I might have a try of the maca next month, everythings so up in the air at the mo me and dh dont know if we are coming or going.

dh already has a daughter from a previous relationship and we are due to see her this weekend however her mother has informed us that she will be breaking the court order this week, so we are having to wait and see if she does.

Hope todays not been to bad for you.

Take care

B. x

Hi Becci,

Just back from work.. Awe no the ruddy af arrived then!  ****.... I feel for you. Why don't our bodies do what we yearn for them to do :( So unfair..

I'm no expert by any means but it sounds like your hormones could be bit unbalanced (varied cycles).. have you thought of trying Maca?  I know I can't say if it works or not but there's been so many great reports about balancing hormones (that's why I am trying it). Just a thought x

Well my day went ok thanks for asking.. just a few tears but no break downs.. didn't see any pregnant co-workers today as I am in different office now so that eased the trauma a bit.. Still hard seeing everyone looking like don't know what to say to me etc.. awkward but helped getting hair change as was good side track for people! As you say it will take time..

Hope you 'o' soon chum... xx

[Becci2809]

Hi Petal,

The hair sounds nice, i'm thinking of you today, hope it all goes well, my first day back was hard, it did get easier, however i was able to focus on getting married, (m/c 15/08/07 wed 21/09/07) and then to tpo it all off had a car accident on the 07/09/07. The dreaded AF arrived this morning so starting a fresh cd 1, its been 7 weeks since my last cycle and 5 weeks before that and 4 before that, so currently unsure when the big o will arrive and with everything else thats been happening this week i dont thing there will be much ttc. looking to august now for my bfp.

Hope your ok, let me know how your day went.

Baby Dust your way xxx

[northrncwgrl]

Well I made it to TTC month #3 a while ago, then M/C on June 24th at 6-1/2 wks. :( So I guess you could say we are TTC month #4 now. Should be ovulating in another week, and I'm really clinging to the hope that a woman is incredibly fertile after a M/C (been reading alot of posts that talk about that!).

Here's hoping we have lots of BFP's this month!!!

[rachjas0623]

My cycles are around 32/33 days.... I am hoping that I will O late next week.  I am a cheerleading coach, my team has camp next week.  So, I will be away from DH all day Mon. & Tuesday and then Wednesday morning.  It should be a problem though.  

This month I am using an OPK again, I am charting my BBT and I am taking FertilAid for the first time.

[petal88]

Well back from hairdressers all lovely and blonde .. dh says nice but I think prefers me dark - oh well i like it and it's cheered me up bit that's main thing.   Work tomorrow.. I know I will end up in toilet in tears most of day.. I am dreading it.. :(

[petal88]

Hi Rachjas,

I'm on cd 6 on 29/30 day cycle  so expecting o in just over week... and God willing get a stick..

[rachjas0623]
