Anyone in my TTC phase?

Here we are again. Another cycle to TTC. I am finished af and getting ready to Ov in the next few days. So lets see what goes on in the @WW after OV. Lots of baby dust to all and Good Luck.....

Well AF showed up again the other day! We are now 7 months and trying!We have decided to stop trying so hard for now. The dr says he cant do anything until we have tried for 1 year. (easy for him to say) because we had a miscarrige in January and he says that even tho we lost it we were still able to get pregnant! Everyone says that stress has alot to do with why we cant get pregnant. Let me explain alittle...

We had the miscarriage in January
My brother had a baby in February
Found out my sister in law is pregnant with TWINS in April
Found out in July (two days ago)that my other brother and his wife are pregnant after 1 month of trying
Found out in July (3 days ago) that my gram is terminal
And all this time I have been trying to plan our wedding that is in October of this year(that I have been planning since May of last year)

So to say that I have been stressed out this year is an understatement! So now here we are 7 months later and still no baby. When we got pregnant with the baby we lost we wernt even trying. But after that happened we realized how much we wanted a baby and decided to start trying. I have been using OPK's every month since February so I know we are BDing at the right time every month but still no baby!So now I think it is time to stop trying so hard and just go with the flo I guess. Has anyone else used OPK's and still no baby? I'm so confused and not sure what to do anymore! So if anyone hasw any advice at all I'm all ears! Thanks for letting me vent! Lots and lots of baby dust to everyone who is trying for a little bean!

Hi ladies! Ok so I have been taking prenatal vitamins for about a month now. My last period was on July 4th and lasted a few days like normal. Dh and I BD during my Ovulation which was the week of July 11-17th. Now I am supposed to get my period today the 29th and haven't got it yet. I usually start first thing in the morning. What's also confusing is that I have been spotting since tuesday and I have never done that! I have had the normal symptoms tired, headaches and now slight cramping but still nothing. I'm really hoping for the positive meaning we're pregnant but I know it's too early to tell. Has anyone else never had spotting and then all of a sudden has it? I'm not sure what it means!

I hate TTC these days...I have one child that i gave birth to when i was 21...my husband and i didnt start trying again until after my sons 3rd birthday, and the first time we tried i got pregnant, but turned into an ectopic. I had to have one fallopian tube removed because of it...then 4 months later got pregnant and it was a miscarriage. My husband then deployed and got back in may. Since then we have been TTC again with no such luck. How is it that i can have a perfect pregnancy and birth, and then have an ectopic and all my hopes of having another one are gone? I have 10 days until AF is supposed to come and im praying it doesnt. Were doing everything were supposed to, so why shouldnt we be pregnant??? Anyone been in my position and eventually had a healthy pregnancy and baby? I need some inspiration to keep trying...

OK Af came, not happy!!! I am so dissappointed again. Its very stressful and frustrating. I sware I feel like giving up. (but I am not) But my BF said we should go to the doctor, but my doctor said to wait a year. Its been six months now trying. I think that is enough time of trying in my situation. I may call her to say my time is ticking. lol I am 39 y/o post myomectomy and have hypothyroid. Plus I feel like my cycles keep changing, maybe its stress and I know that does not help. I even sware I may had an early, early miscarriage last month, cuase I had major pain the night before I started to bleed and a clots came out when I went to the bathroom on the first day.(sorry TMI) but the doctor took a pregnancy test (urine) and it was negative I did not even think of it till this month as I research for things. This AF no pain not as heavy but was a longer LP. Oh well all in my head I guess. Well I just needed to vent and get this off my chest. Next cycle starting soon will post when its the 2ww again. Thanks for these posts to be able to blog the frustrations. :( Sorry for the long blog. I wish all good luck . Lots of baby dust.......

I know that I said I was going to give up on TTC due to the hubby and family, but I have decided to ignore their remarks and keep trying.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had or have similar experience as me this month, and what the results were.


LMP June 27th
O'd - July 15th with EWCM
BD every day
5 DPO - Light Spotting
9 DPO - Light Spotting & Craving Chocolate (Never eats chocolate)
10-12 DPO - Twinges and Pinching Cramping Lower Abdomen both sides
Frequent Urination started about 9 DPO
Slight Constipation at 9-10 DPO
Back to regular B/M at 11 DPO
11 & 12 DPO felt nauseated in the shower from the scent of the bath soap

CM is clear and stretchy.

Stuffy Nose and Sinus Drainage started suddenly at 5 DPO, still lingering. Usually stuffy in the mornings and

running by mid afternoon until bedtime. Stuffy while sleeping, even ears stopped up. I have not had sinus issues

since before I got pregnant with my son. Last sinus issue would have been Spring allergies in 1999. After getting

pregnant all sinus and allergies seemed to have disappeared until now.

AF due on July 29th

My cycles are a regular 32 days with 8 heavy days of AF. In both May and June AF was 5 days late, lasted only 5 days

and was half as heavy as normal. Tested BFN in May and did not test in June.

I do not temp, do not have the means to do so at this time. Although I do check CM on a regular basis.
