I am currently on CD 33 and going to try to wait a few more days. I still have no idea what my cycle lengths are since I have only had 2 since Libby.  Before her I was 32-34 days.  *crossing fingers*  We aren't actively "trying" but we aren't preventing either.  We want it to happen when it happens.

 Shari you are good...
Well I am on CD6 so I will O next weekend. I am pretty consistent either CD14 or CD15. All I can do is wait and hope this is our month!
Good Luck to all. 

I am on what I hope is CD1, it is just (sorry may be TMI), still brown in color.If it darkens up it will be CD1. Am I correct? I believe that is how it works.

Shari,

Can you add me to the the TTC list? We are TTC # 2 !   

Thanks,
Cathie

Hi, i'm on CD33... FertilityFriend kept changing its mind and I either O'd on CD21 or CD23... Im feeling kinda achy today, so it's possible AF is lurking around the corner, but I hope she just gets lost LOL

Lisa

PS- FF gives you 30 days free VIP acess, that didn't even last me one cycle!!!
Update: I sent them a suggestion that it should give 1 cycle of access rather than 30 days, and they extended it a week for me    

I'm on CD22 and will either see AF next week or test on the 21st.  I'd love to be pregnant now, but have a hernia that may need to be repaired before a preganacy so I'm leaving it all up to God right now (as if I could really do anything else).

Debbi

Is it a hernia from your WLS? I have one too and was told that I could wait until after I had kids to get it fixed. Good luck!

I don't think it's from the WLS, it's in the groin area and the doc thinks it's probably been there for a long time but I never noticed it before because of the fat and extra skin.  I went to see him today and we've decided if I'm not pg I'll get it fixed now, if I am we'll deal with it and fix it after.  He's not concerned about it, but prefers to fix them when they are small.

Thanks!

Debbi

UGH! Doesn't sound like it's from WLS. Good luck with it.
