TTC girl- July 2012

[KraizyDaizy]

Well it looks like it is test day but don't have any and don't feel preggers, so guess I will ride it out and see if AF shows today or tomorrow. Took a break from temping, so don't know if my temp is down, so only time will tell I guess.

Praying for you all...

Good luck Kaizy Daizy! I hope you get a BFP! Sometimes it is the times you don't feel pregnant that you actually are. Great job holding out on testing and temping. All of that stressed me out so bad last cycle!

[KraizyDaizy]

yes two years of temping and testing early, I have finally learned my lesson. Best of luck to you!

# of attempts is something I am really struggling with. I REALLY want to get pg and I just feel like with all the swaying supplements and RePhresh, and FR, that I need more swimmers to make it to the egg. But, I don't want to get into the boy zone with lots of swimmers! Ughh. Trying not to obsess b/c I don't want to raise T!

Its funny you say this. Sometimes I think that with the fr and the supplements and the j&d and rephresh etc -- that we have to dtd multiple times to even conceive.
What if, or would it be equivalent if: we did not do j&d, no fr, no zyrtec and no rephresh and only just dtd once?
Would dtd once as is, be just the same as dtd multiple times and putting ourselves (and the sperm) through all the roadblocks?
Guess no one will ever know for sure -- but it sure makes a lot of sense.

AF showed today so on to month 2! I have put everything on my calendar so I know exactly when to do things and go into "auto-pilot" mode.

This time I am going to make sure I take Rephresh the day before my attempt - I haven't had any CM for a month as it is! I am also going to stop Zyrtec 2 days before our attempt and I am going to BD closer to O. We ended up with a 2 day cut off last time. I am also going to DTD missionary instead of on top. I hope it all works! Any other suggestions? Do you think doing it twice the day before O and once on O day is enough?

I am so glad you are dtd more than once. With all that we do to sway it is almost a miracle if we get pg only dtd once -- heck its a miracle we get pg at all with all the roadblocks we put in the way!

I have always tested early and bfn's only to see bfp's later on. That is with my 3 boys years back.
It is never good to test early -- brings one nothing but stress and hurt. At least for me that is.
This time I am waiting til 11dpo. I don't knwo what to think. I am 5dpo now.
I have to say though, whenever I felt nothing is when I was actually pg!

Good luck to all -- I feel there are not many ttc with us this month. The board is awfully slow.

Feeling so hungry this morning (I'm actually hungry every morning... my body never seems to get used to no breakfast, whereas before I got with my husband and I was living with my friend in Phoenix, I constantly skipped breakfast! What happened?!), I've gained a little weight (uh, what? I was *perfect* yesterday in my diet! I don't get it... but maybe it's just normal fluctuation and doesn't even matter)... and still no ovulation in sight...


*big sigh*

By the way - FF puts me at predicted ovulation on July 27th. Please don't make me wait that long, grrr.

I have decided to DTD 4 times - twice on the day before O and twice on O day...that is if vitex doesnt screw me up! I really hope this enough to get pg!

Last night we went out to eat and I really think my body has adjusted to this diet. I ordered this yummy tortilla with veggies and it came with 3 dipping sauces. I literally had less than 5 bites and I was so full. I barely managed to eat 1/2. And...that is so not like me. Whenever we go out to eat I eat 90-100% of my food. LOL! Jut hoping this is a sign that my body is in diet mode!

Oh geez! That sounds like absolute torture. I am SO sorry! I wish there was something you could do to bring O on faster. SO annoying. Hopefully it will happen sooner.

We started FR on day of AF so I am REALLY hoping O isn't delayed for me. I know it is bound to happen soon though!
