FRIDAY TTC POST (who is makin a baby?)

Cathie, Sherry-Lynn and Lisa...congrats on your bfp's!! So happy for you guys. Hoping you have happy and healthy pregnancies!

I think I got to do personals for everyone that posted last week. I also think the list is updated, but if I missed something or you want something changed let me know.

How are you girls this week? I thought I would ask you girls to give some support to each other. What types of things do you do in the 2ww to make it easier for you to cope with the anxiety of the wait?

Oh, and this is my 2nd, 1st is a 12 year old so its been a while lol.

Hi Michelle. I can add you to the list if you like, but did you just have wls 3 months ago or am I reading that wrong? Shari

I did have a revision in April. But since my weight has been at goal since then, my labs are good, and I'm not in ketosis, my surgeon did give me the go-ahead. Honestly, he did want me to wait 6 months. But given my husbands age and the fact that we have ttc a few years ago with no luck, I am not expecting any positive results too soon.

Sending baby dust to all of you!!!!

im 4 days late as far as my cycles have been going but 2 pg test both neg so who knows! ive been having period symptoms for a week and a half im kinda nervous thinking that i didnt even ovulate this month cause i didnt get the positive from the opk's- my doc says i dont have the pcos so im totally confused on whats happening :(

Are you tracking your cycles on fertility friend??

 no i havent been able to track we had family in town and we went out of town and it just wasnt possible... and on tueday im leaving town for 2 weeks to go home and visit my family so no baby dancing will be taking place... im just concerned that somethings wrong :(

I'm currently on CD30. No signs of Ovulation. But I guess it can take up to 3 months for Vitex to get your system regular. So we will see what happens in the next few months.

Good luck to all the others TTC!
