TTC - Valentine's Edition

Just getting the new thread started

LuckyKitty · 02-05-2007, 08:33 AM

Yay for Valentine's Day baby dust. I think that would be about the sweetest V-Day present I could think of

Po, looks like I O'd on the 29th, so I should be getting AF around Valentines

What r ya gonna do? We're giving it all we've got next cycle, though, so I'm pretty excited to get started, KWIM?

How's everyone doing?

godsbeloved79 · 02-06-2007, 02:17 PM

Thanks for starting the new thread Kat!

New blessings and a "new" chance to make it happen. My B-day is Friday and Valentine's Day is next Wednesday. I would love to get a BFP to celebrate both

Thank you. Praying the same for you. TOM is due the day after my B-Day.
I feel a bit crampy, but hey.............you NEVER know?

Stinkerbelle · 02-07-2007, 08:40 AM

Hi everyone

Hope you don't mind me popping in! Little about myself- I am 33 years old, DH is 37. March of 2005 we decided to try for another baby- was DH's idea which I was surprised- we have 2 children, 14 and 10. We tried for a couple months with no luck and then DH got deployed. Gone for 18 months (really put a damper on makin a baby!)- he has been back since Nov 06 (well, actually not home for good since end of Dec becuz of school). So, we have had a couple cycles with no luck.

I have got back on Atkins in hopes that losing a couple pounds might help. I planned on getting back on track anyhow, but this is a great motivator!

I am expecting to O around Monday or Tuesday- unfortunately DH works nights so it puts another damper on things. Will try to get some baby dancin in on Fri, Sat (his days off) and maybe get in a quickie before he goes to sleep Monday morning- hehe.

Is anyone taking any special vitamins? How long has everyone been trying?

Would love to get to know everyone better! Lots of baby dust to everyone

Lisa

LuckyKitty · 02-07-2007, 08:53 AM

Lisa! It's always great to "meet" new people on here

I'm Kat (27), DH is 29. We've been trying for #1 for a little over a year now, but we've taken some time off here and there to try to keep the stress down. Sounds like you and DH have a lot going on! Good luck with your BDin this month

I'm at 9DPO, but I was out of town for the O, so we were just enjoying ourselves

Back to OPKs and Preseed next cycle

GB - I'm sending you lots and lots of baby dust for an extra special B-day and V-day

How's everyone else doing? Anyone else snowed in?

Stinkerbelle · 02-08-2007, 08:59 AM

Hey Kat

Thanks for the welcome! Nothing wrong with just enjoying yourselves....does it the stress down. I try not to dwell on it too much but I am sure you understand how consuming it is! I know when I should O and we am just going to enjoy ourselves around that time

I guess it will happen when/if it is meant to. Our schedules are not that great so I don't want to force the issue...Still think I will attack him Monday morning-hehe

GB- lots of baby dust coming your way!

Hey Kat,

TOM showed up. It's ok though. We will keep at it

. It shall come to pass.

LuckyKitty · 02-09-2007, 06:55 AM

GB

But hey, the trying is the fun part

Spot found me this morning, but I'm kind of excited, cause it means we get to start the next cycle of *really* trying, which we haven't been able to do for a couple months. I'm already getting impatient for TOM to get out of here, and he's not even here yet

How's everyone else doing this lovely Friday? Did I mention TGIF

Baby dust!

godsbeloved79 · 02-09-2007, 08:45 AM

Have a Baby Dust filled weekend you ALL!

It's my B-Day and I'm going to enjoy it.

GB!! Enjoy every minute of it!

Thanks Kat. I did enjoy it ! It was spent with loving people (hubby, and my twin nephews). We went to a movie and dinner.

Potaty · 02-12-2007, 10:33 PM

Hey ladies! I am now officially in the two week wait. We timed everything perfectly this month so it's time to sit back and wait.

I am really struggling with my eating right now. I think I am telling myself I shouldn't be in ketosis just in case I'm pregnant, even though I know that it won't harm anything because by the time I would find out, I would only be about a week along. My cravings aren't bad, I am just making bad choices. Tomorrow is a new day....I will exercise and I will eat low carb.

I am also in the 2 week wait! We can wait it out together- I am not sure how our timing was this month. I am supposed to O today but I was a bit crampy yesterday. BD on Saturday and this morning....so not so sure. i am thinking positive thoughts though!

Lots of baby dust coming your way!!!

LuckyKitty · 02-14-2007, 01:28 PM

GL to our ladies in the 2ww! Lots of baby dust headed your way

I'm just starting my cycle and am gonna try progesterone cream this month, cause the Vitex isn't doing quite enough, and Potaty made me a believer

Do you mind telling me how you used it? I've found a couple of variations on when to start/stop using it each cycle, I'm just wondering what other gals are doing.

Happy Valentine's day, ladies! Have a great evening

Potaty · 02-14-2007, 03:38 PM

I used Arbonne's Prolief starting 3 days past ovulation, just to make sure I ovulated. I applied one pump (mine was premeasured) in the morning, one pump at night. Make sure you rotate where you apply it each time. I used it until AF arrived but some have to stop using it before AF arrives so just make sure you POAS before you abruptly stop using it.

I don't think I ovulated yet afterall. I've been sick and on antibiotics. I started saliva ferning and had a couple days of ferning and EWCM, but no temp shift. So I either didn't ovulate or I am having a slow rise temp shift. My CM is leaning more toward the infertile side so I have no idea what's going on.

Stinkerbelle · 02-15-2007, 07:44 AM

I think I O'd yesterday....I had a load of egg white CM in the morning and then by evening was dry. I woke up with a headache (weird). So, I am actually thinking our BDing timing might have been good.

BD on Tuesday morning
sometime Weds O.....

whatcha think??

I am thinking positive thoughts...over and over and over....

Can you tell me what that progestrone cream is for?

Potaty....don't give up until the wicked red witch sings!

LuckyKitty · 02-16-2007, 07:15 AM

THanks Po! I searched and searched and I guess what I thought I was looking for wasn't there

I'm excited to see how this month goes

Sorry about the confusing O signs, tho, that's always fun

The good news is, more BDin!

Stinkerbelle - your timing looks great!! Maybe a little valentine's miracle is in your future! Oh, and the progesterone cream is used to supplement low progesterone in the LP (luteal phase) and hopefully fix the luteal phase defect that keeps my LP too short.

I start my OPKs tomorrow, so hhhhhheeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeee we go

Baby dust, ladies!

Stinkerbelle · 02-16-2007, 09:55 AM

Thanks Kat- good luck with the OPK's....and good luck this month!

Potaty- how is it going there??

I am feeling same ol- it is funny how you tend to pickup on every little twinge or pain in the 2WW. I am feeling strangely happy though....kinda wierd. Been going thru some tuff times and for some reason, I just feel happy.

I am praying for baby.

AF is due around Feb 28 or so....stay away!!!

Good luck Ladies!
