Hi All! If you are TTC and will test in the month of August this is your post! The previous groups were such a success that we (the girls and I) decided to comtinue the experience! This is a group where you can discuss your hopes and fears, and frustration if we get BFN or AF. We can also give each other advice on BBT and CM charting. And most importantly: seeing that we are not alone with the BFN frustration!!! I hope this group will have many new members because we like to welcome new faces! So feel free to join us!

Your possible AF arrival date: I guess 9/19
And a bit of your TTC/couple story: I got off B/C a year ago this month. I was hoping to just let nature takes its course and get pregnant without really "trying." Unfortunately my cycles have been really off ranging anywhere from 35 days to 50 days. I've been to the doctor a few times and they have run tests. Everything is coming up normal. This cycle was actually 30 days, the most normal I have been since I got off B/C, so I'm hoping I am regular now. and ready for baby #1!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story. Finally started O'ing in July after getting off BC pill in May. I recently found out that my luteal phase is around 7-9 days so I may have to take clomid to lengthen my luteal phase if I don't get my BFP this cycle. I will either get AF next Monday (Aug 31) or I will wait a week to test! If it's BFN, see you in September!

This is cycle # 3
Your possible BRB arrival date: 9/15
And a bit of your TTC/couple story: I took my last BC pill in June so we could TTC#3. In August, I got two BFaintPositives within a day of each other. Upon having bloodwork on the third day, my dr determined I was having a chemical pg that would not stick. I experienced an early mc on the 4th day. Although chemical pg and early mc are very common (most non-TTC women aren't even aware of it because they don't test), this was a loss to our family. But, we are grateful for our two beautiful daughters and we look forward to having fun TTC again this month. This is THE BEST group of ladies!

Your possible AF arrival date: September 13th
And a bit of your TTC/couple story: Dh and I met in high school, but we started dating only 5 years later. We got married last year, and began TTC in May 2008. In October 2008, I had to stop TTC to take medication for Acne that would have given me a deformed baby. March 2009: I swallowed my last pill of the meds. April 2009: I swallowed last bcp. My husband just had his permanence at work, I am on the priority list and thus almost assured of having a job every school year, there never was a better time! Let's just hope this fits with God's Plan.

Your possible testing date August 26
And a bit of your TTC/couple story. DH and I have been together for 15 years, married for almost 11. We've had 3 miscarriages due to low progesterone. Was put on Clomid last year, conceived on 1st round, took vaginal suppositories of progesterone entire 1st trimester to help baby "stick" and our DD was born April 2, 2009. Due to my age and prior fertility problems, my RE suggests trying for 2nd baby ASAP as it would be our best chance to conceive and also possibly avoid the low progesterone problems and subsequent miscarriages. I was breastfeeding but stopped after 3 months so that fertility could return. I believe my cycle is still trying to regulate itself and I fear conception may take a while.

And a bit of your ttc/couple story: DH & I met in high school, but never dated. We were in the same group of friends. I went to his house for a 2000 New Year's Eve Party. We started talking the next day. I always thought he was a "bad boy" & he thought I was out of his league. He has a heart of gold. I moved in only 2 weeks after dating. Daring I know, but I always trust my gut. And my gut was correct, again!!! We've been together for 9 years & married for 4 years. A little TTC story...not much info. I've been on BCP since 10th grade. Never took a break from them. After about 2 years on them, I became hypertensive(160/106). Got on several meds to bring it down. I have a strong family history of ruptured thoracic aortic anurysems. My blood pressure does have to stay down b/c my aorta is on the upper limits of the size it should be for my age. This past October we decided I should stop taking them to see what my body would do. Blood pressure went down to normal! Yay, no more pills!!! Well, it went back up this past 2 months. OB/GYN put me on a pill that would be safe for a baby. DH & I have been TTC since end of June. I use OPK & temp. This is the 1st cycle for using the OV Watch. ~*~*~*Baby Dust~*~*~*~*

And a bit of your TTC/couple story. Me and DH have been "together" for about 5 years and married 3. We got pregnant the VERY 1st TIME we were together and have a 4 year old daughter. I got my IUD out in Jan '09 and really thought it was going to happen right away....boy was I wrong. We have done 2 IUI and no success. I got a call from my RE the day I got BRB to tell me that my blood test was negative which I already knew...duh. They asked where they could call in my clomid and I declined. I said I was tired of the disappointment every month so I was going to leave it in God's hands.

DH and I miscarried in July 2005 at 12 weeks, but then had our wonderful DD named Rylee Jo in Sept 2006. She’s the light of my life. I still cannot believe I played a role in creating something so perfect… We got pregnant again in early November of 2008 with our second daughter Faith Alaire, but lost her at 22 weeks to late diagnosed Trisomy 18 and severe physical defects (absolutely heartbroken still). DH and I wear some of her ashes in crosses around our necks to always have her near though.

Possible AF: Again....I have no idea anymore - soon I hope, so I can get counting again!
About us: My DH and I met at work, very lovesick moment, met eye, felt like I got punched in the stomach and we are now married 3 years later. I can't believe how ready I am to have a baby and I know he is too. He is SO good with children. sometimes he's a big kid himself! hahahaha! We can't wait to start this wild adventure. I just bought "What to expect when expecting" and "Belly Laughs".. I am halfway through Belly Laughs, man that Jenny McCarthy is straightforward - no holds barred (sp?). Good luck to all the other ladies in their quest to conceive!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story: We have been together for about 5 years now, no plans for marriage as neither of us are "marriage type" (no offense to anyone). I am a registered nurse and work on a maternity/Gynecology ward and also have experience in Labor and delivery. I recently started teaching pre-natal classes as well. BF is a Realtor. We decided to start TTC shortly after I finished University, took my last BC pill in March 09 and started actively trying in May. No luck yet but I have a feeling about this month, my cyles are pretty regular and I have been using OPK's to time BDing. I think I had implantation bleeding the day before yesterday and have been very tired lately and have had mild cramps for a few days now. I have been following this group for a few months now just haven't joined in until now. We haven't made public that we are TTC so it would be nice to be able to talk about it with other people who understand. Hope this is the month!

I have been married to the sweetest and most patient man in this world - and we are TTC our first baby. My dh and I got married in our early twenties and were looking forward to our future together – we both wanted babies, and God did in fact blessed us with a pregnancy earlier this year (March 2009) but it resulted in a miscarriage on 11-Apr-09 at 6.5 weeks. So when we do get pregnant again, this will be pregnancy #2 - but baby #1 – and we are so excited and looking forward to this miracle. I have been diagnosed with having PCOS but we have been trying (off-and-on) for the last two + years but actively and vigorously for the past year. Good luck to all TTC …

This is cycle # 3 (#4 in 2 weeks)
Your possible testing date/AF due: I'm thinking September 4th
And a bit of your TTC/couple story. DH and I met through our roommates who were dating. He is originally from Ireland (accent and all), so it was only fitting that we met on St. Patrick's Day. We married August 14, 2005 and conceived our now 3yr old daughter 6 weeks after we got married. This June I finished my last BC pack and had a normal AF and started trying the 26th, 28th, 30th, and 2nd. I thought that was pretty efficient. Unfortunately, AF reared her ugly face. The next month AF showed up 5 days early. Ready to go again! I'm also a teacher (Kindergarten), so I'm trying to time it with the upcoming school year.
AF was really wicked last month and a lot of our BFPs turned into little angels. We hope she will show mercy this month.
Good luck and babydust to all TTC!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story: I got off B/C a year ago this month. I was hoping to just let nature takes its course and get pregnant without really "trying." Unfortunately my cycles have been really off ranging anywhere from 35 days to 50 days. I've been to the doctor a few times and they have run tests. Everything is coming up normal. This cycle was actually 30 days, the most normal I have been since I got off B/C, so I'm hoping I am regular now. and ready for baby #1!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story. Finally started O'ing in July after getting off BC pill in May. I recently found out that my luteal phase is around 7-9 days so I may have to take clomid to lengthen my luteal phase if I don't get my BFP this cycle. I will either get AF next Monday (Aug 31) or I will wait a week to test! If it's BFN, see you in September!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story: I took my last BC pill in June so we could TTC#3. In August, I got two BFaintPositives within a day of each other. Upon having bloodwork on the third day, my dr determined I was having a chemical pg that would not stick. I experienced an early mc on the 4th day. Although chemical pg and early mc are very common (most non-TTC women aren't even aware of it because they don't test), this was a loss to our family. But, we are grateful for our two beautiful daughters and we look forward to having fun TTC again this month. This is THE BEST group of ladies!

And a bit of your TTC/couple story: Dh and I met in high school, but we started dating only 5 years later. We got married last year, and began TTC in May 2008. In October 2008, I had to stop TTC to take medication for Acne that would have given me a deformed baby. March 2009: I swallowed my last pill of the meds. April 2009: I swallowed last bcp. My husband just had his permanence at work, I am on the priority list and thus almost assured of having a job every school year, there never was a better time! Let's just hope this fits with God's Plan.

And a bit of your TTC/couple story. DH and I have been together for 15 years, married for almost 11. We've had 3 miscarriages due to low progesterone. Was put on Clomid last year, conceived on 1st round, took vaginal suppositories of progesterone entire 1st trimester to help baby "stick" and our DD was born April 2, 2009. Due to my age and prior fertility problems, my RE suggests trying for 2nd baby ASAP as it would be our best chance to conceive and also possibly avoid the low progesterone problems and subsequent miscarriages. I was breastfeeding but stopped after 3 months so that fertility could return. I believe my cycle is still trying to regulate itself and I fear conception may take a while.

And a bit of your ttc/couple story: DH & I met in high school, but never dated. We were in the same group of friends. I went to his house for a 2000 New Year's Eve Party. We started talking the next day. I always thought he was a "bad boy" & he thought I was out of his league. He has a heart of gold. I moved in only 2 weeks after dating. Daring I know, but I always trust my gut. And my gut was correct, again!!! We've been together for 9 years & married for 4 years. A little TTC story...not much info. I've been on BCP since 10th grade. Never took a break from them. After about 2 years on them, I became hypertensive(160/106). Got on several meds to bring it down. I have a strong family history of ruptured thoracic aortic anurysems. My blood pressure does have to stay down b/c my aorta is on the upper limits of the size it should be for my age. This past October we decided I should stop taking them to see what my body would do. Blood pressure went down to normal! Yay, no more pills!!! Well, it went back up this past 2 months. OB/GYN put me on a pill that would be safe for a baby. DH & I have been TTC since end of June. I use OPK & temp. This is the 1st cycle for using the OV Watch. ~*~*~*Baby Dust~*~*~*~*

I got my IUD out in Jan '09 and really thought it was going to happen right away....boy was I wrong. We have done 2 IUI and no success. I got a call from my RE the day I got BRB to tell me that my blood test was negative which I already knew...duh. They asked where they could call in my clomid and I declined. I said I was tired of the disappointment every month so I was going to leave it in God's hands.

We decided to start TTC shortly after I finished University, took my last BC pill in March 09 and started actively trying in May. No luck yet but I have a feeling about this month, my cyles are pretty regular and I have been using OPK's to time BDing. I think I had implantation bleeding the day before yesterday and have been very tired lately and have had mild cramps for a few days now. I have been following this group for a few months now just haven't joined in until now. We haven't made public that we are TTC so it would be nice to be able to talk about it with other people who understand. Hope this is the month!

I have been married to the sweetest and most patient man in this world - and we are TTC our first baby. My dh and I got married in our early twenties and were looking forward to our future together – we both wanted babies, and God did in fact blessed us with a pregnancy earlier this year (March 2009) but it resulted in a miscarriage on 11-Apr-09 at 6.5 weeks. So when we do get pregnant again, this will be pregnancy #2 - but baby #1 – and we are so excited and looking forward to this miracle. I have been diagnosed with having PCOS but we have been trying (off-and-on) for the last two + years but actively and vigorously for the past year. Good luck to all TTC …

And a bit of your TTC/couple story. DH and I met through our roommates who were dating. He is originally from Ireland (accent and all), so it was only fitting that we met on St. Patrick's Day. We married August 14, 2005 and conceived our now 3yr old daughter 6 weeks after we got married. This June I finished my last BC pack and had a normal AF and started trying the 26th, 28th, 30th, and 2nd. I thought that was pretty efficient. Unfortunately, AF reared her ugly face. The next month AF showed up 5 days early. Ready to go again! I'm also a teacher (Kindergarten), so I'm trying to time it with the upcoming school year.
AF was really wicked last month and a lot of our BFPs turned into little angels. We hope she will show mercy this month.
Good luck and babydust to all TTC!

Started spotting today. I made it all the way to 8dpo. No cramping.
The spotting was brown with some red CM. I pray this is implantation
bleeding, but I'm not going to count on it. I can't start AF now this
only what CD 22? That would be a problem.

Walshy: I think you should wait until you have a steady flow to consider it AF. Implantation bleeding is, from what I've read, generally pink or brown spotting. I've never experienced it, but you're certainly in the right time frame for it.

Yuck. I just had some very light spotting. 
The part that is crappiest (if that's a word) is that my SIL just sent a pic of her newborn. Again, I don't really care that there's a new baby, and I refuse to make the trip home to hear "When are you and Jeff going to have a baby?" "Doesn't this make you want a baby?" DH thinks I'm being "emotional" and "over-reacting". I think he's being too inconsiderate and needs to put my feelings about his sister. I'm dreading the call from my MIL-- "When are you coming to see the baby?" My first response could just be, "Not any time soon." It isn't like they'll come when we have a kid anyway. They're very much "all about me" people-- not to mention that they would want to stay at our house, and there's no way I'd be sane with a newborn, a house full of adults, and two kids. I don't want to sound mean, but I'm extremely apathetic about the entire thing. Her DH doesn't have a job. They earned (after taxes) only $18,000 last year and chose to have another kid. It just isn't fair that someone who can't really care for their kids gets to have kids while others who could give their kids the world are keep missing the boat. // I don't mean to drag anyone down, but it's just really frustrating!

hoppy-- totally feeling you on this one. We make too much money to qualify for assistance, but gosh darn it if we aren't helping take care of other people's kids. Especially a specific family member who "accidentally" got pregnant fresh out of high school and still doesn't have a job 3 years later. But, why should she? She gets paid more from the gov't than a min wage job would pay her. If I could mother her child, I'd take that baby in a heartbeat! DH and I would love to have her! The bad part is, she'd probably let us have her most of time....except when she wanted to show off her pretty face. Yuck! And I am being ugly and gosh darn it.....I'm tired of this cycle......

Hi, All!
I am new. I will be testing the first week of September. Hoping AF does not come. Problem is not sure when to actually expect her. Before m/c I was very regular at 28 days, last 2 cycles have been 31 days. So I am anxiously waiting. We used a OPK this month. Having some symptoms but I am afraid to get my hopes up.

GL to all our september testers!
I introduced myself early last week but since then I was having trouble signing on for some reason. I hope I figured it out now
Hoppy: I know exactly how you are feeling about SIL. When mine had her baby I cried! I cried because I was sad and happy. I was really sad because I wanted a baby so much. And then I cried because I felt guilty for being so upset. But I also cried because I was happy for her and her DH. I don't think you are being emotional or overreacting. We can't help how we feel. And some days are harder than others.
Me: I need some advice. I am starting OPKs this month. I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers so I get the most accurate reading. My cycles have been so off for the past year that I realize I need some help to pinpoint O. Also I'm already worried about BDing this month. If I O when I think I'm going to, I'm not sure DH is going to be around too much. I think O might be later this week and DH is going to be working late every night this week! I had such a good feeling about this month but now I don't know.... I guess I should stop freaking out and just see what the OPKs say.

Well my temp dropped yesterday and I kinda started to spot. So my day wasn't going that great..... DH and I went to his parents house cause his brother was having ppl over for a bonfire. This is were my day gets even worse... My brother in law's girlfriend but not girlfriend (they are more like f**k buddies) since she m/c.... Sayz to me "Your going to be an Auntie" I'm like what, she said it again and I'm said "Are you sure" She stands up and takes off her big sweater. Yup 4months pregnant abouts. She didn't tell me before this because she thought I would yell at her... well if it was just me and her in the room I would have..... Like really he walked out the first time she m/c and was an ass. What cause you think you can't get any better you'll just go back.... like F'ing stupid!!!!! At this point I took DH to a different room so I could cry and he said "Look at it this way when we are pregnant, you know that the baby will be wanted by the family and everyone will be happy for us" DH's parents are Not happy! This is how they told his parents.... in-law's were watching tv and she walked by and said "Oh i'm pregnant" didn't even stop.
I went out side and called my mom and cryed for an hr. And now ppl are asking if there is something wrong with us cause we aren't pregnant yet.... :'( Once again DH's brother is going to rub it in our faces that they are pregnant before us, arg! But this time I'm not going to keep my mouth closed!
Sorry I just can't believe this is happening again... I just want to go out back and someone shoot me... I can't take it right now.
On top of it all - My grandpa who lives in BC - was having a triple bypass done on thurday, all went good then friday his lungs stoped working but he is fine now. If nothing less happens then he can go home on Wed. Here's hoping!!
I'm only one 9dpo and my temp droped yesterday and today kinda spotting but not really, its off and on. I'm going to the doctor's on tuesday to talk about my cycle. Hoping he will help out!
Well I should go make dinner I'll be back later on.... thanks for listening ladies

Beachbum--- here's my opinion. And, this worked for me...I got pregnant last month using OPKs. I was also using preconceive plus and propping my hips for like 5 min after too. Start POAS at CD 8. I got two packs of OPKs...7 in a pack. I'm suggesting you start early because you're not sure when you may O...I think better safe than sorry. I tested first thing in the morning and in the the afternoon. Basically every 12 hrs. My positive OPK had a fade in effect. The line got darker and darker and the positive day was when the line was darker than the reference line. At that point I stopped POAS and determined I would probably O within 36 hrs. Testing every 12 hours dimishes the amount of time you may be off, in my opinion. Anyway, I hope this helps!

God'sTiming: Congratulations!!
Tina: I'm hoping your temp goes back up and the spotting stops. I really hate the spotting.
Hoppy: Do you normally spot before AF comes?
Me: I went to the park with DH and DD. We ran around and played with kite. When I got home I thought for sure I would have more spotting from the exercize, but there was nothing. I guess only time will tell.

Hoppy - Thinking of you and all that is happening right now...
All others, you are in my prayers, sorry been reading but didnt have the focus to do persos...
Me - well i think the 'process' is about to really start, TMI ALERT...
I started getting blood tinged discharge last night, and am having even worse cramps, not that i thought this would be possible... so i am off to see the Dr again, as i didnt think it was meant to take this long, i am sooooo confused, and just want it over, so we can get a plan and start again...
Dh's granny had her surgery, but given her age and how frail she already was we are praying it wont all be too much for her...
Thank you for your prayers,
thats all for me today...
love and God Bless,
