FRIDAY TTC POST (who is making a baby)
Hi girls. Thanks for your patience with me the last couple of weeks in updating the list. I hope I didn't miss any bfp posts?? How are you girls this week?? I posted here to those that have been posting. Any newbies want to join in? Let me know.
Kathy!! Congratulations on your bfp. Here is to a happy and healthy 9 months as you graduate to the baking mamas! I will keep you in prayer ok.
Debbie!! I just looked at your chart! Yippee!! Congrats to you too and have a happy and healthy 9 months okay!! Oh, and how is your brother and SIL?
Malena~ I see af came. So sorry. I just got a chance to check out your last chart. I read what you posted last week and it didn't make a lot of sense to me. You probably o'd on cd 26 and started af just 7 days later. That luteal phase is way too short for implantation. Remind me if you were breast feeding? When did you get your first af back after Libby??
Barb~ Did you ever get your positive opk? The lingo will be posted below the ttc list this week.... I didn't have time last week.
Jackie~ You are at the end of your 2ww...good luck!
Angie~ Is the cyst gone??
Amy~ I hope the end of this 2ww gives you super news!!
Tami~ I am sorry your body is playing tricks on you. I know it sucks but all women have an annovulatory cycle occasionally. Are you still doing opk just in case it is super late o?
Holly~ I wish I had more answers for you. I hope things work out with the new RE and you get the answers you need.
T~ Welcome to the list. You have been on a long journey. Just wondering if you have fertility issues that you know of? I hope that this ends in a bfp for you soon! My journey was 5 years and I have 2 beautiful children now...Keep the faith okay! Good luck and keep us posted.
Kim ~ Welcome to the list! Is this #1 for you and hubby? 40 is the new 20...so don't worry!! Good luck, you guys can do this. If you want some tips, let us know.
Mickey~ Did you test on the 2nd? Hope you got your bfp!!
Canticles ~ Clomid has a way with messing with your hormones. Better luck this cycle and I hope the meds aren't as bad on you.
Lesley~ You are at the end of your 2ww as well...did you test? I added you to the list, but if you want me to change the verbage, let me know okay.

Hey Shari,
Thank you!
None that I know of at all, but I haven't been to a doctor about it either. I did get pregnant when I was 18 (by pre-********* no less!) but had an abortion. I have never been pregnant since that I know of. I also had cryotherapy for HPV (I believe - pre-cancerous cells, doc said a virus, this is before HPV was well known) in 2000. While we have been trying since Sept 02, it hasn't been the whole time we were actively trying, but we have not been preventing except for about 7-8 months after WLS. I'm in the 2WW for cycle #5 right now, with AF due around 13-14th. We tried egg whites (I make no EWCM) for the 1st time this cycle and I have hubby on zinc (most days) for the last couple months, so KMFX that this is our cycle.
And yes, you do have beautiful children, I'm sure seeing them made the wait worth it :)
T :)

I DID Make It - 135.4 8-1-10! Now working on post baby weight loss. (All WL post-op - preop got up to 220 from quitting smoking & last supper syndrome.) 5'2"
No, I'll probably find an OBGYN in the area (doctors are hard to come by around here, I haven't been to an OBGYN in a while) and get some tests done. But I can't afford things like IUI and IVF so I won't bother with a RE. I've been waiting this time to get a good solid 6 cycles in straight (we've never tried this long straight before) before making an appointment, so I don't get turned away. I'm 33, DH is 35.

Well shari, I was supposed to have the ultrasound to see if the cyst was gone, but it doesn't really matter at this point because I'M PREGNANT! You must have missed the post
. I never started, so I tested on Wednesday (with a lot of encouragement from Traci!) and I got a BFP!! I am over the moon. EDD
10-10-10! I am praying for a sticky bean!!! Thanks for everyone's support!

Hey there. I think you might have looked at the wrong chart? I didn't start AF, yet. I am waiting... Today is CD 33, I got a positive OPK on CD 24 and 25 and negative again on CD 26. We BD on CD 23, 24, 26, 28 so I think we did pretty good. I took a test this morning and it was a BFN, but still no AF. I normally start between 32 and 34. However, If I O'd on lets say CD 26 then I would only be 7 dpo and it probably wouldn't show positive if I were in fact pregnant, right?

Malena... it would be too soon. You really should have at least 10 days from o to af, so you shouldn't start before cd 36 this time. Most girls have a 12-16 day luteal phase. Anything less than 10 days and it is considered a luteal phase defect and not long enough for implantation really. I would wait at least 3-4 more days to test. Good luck....you have your bases covered. Shari
