We're sort of in a similar situation... Only we're failing at saving. We really need to move closer to our jobs because the commute is killing us, but living expenses are higher and we love our current house.

We are thinking about moving as soon as August and renting our house to my cousin. I brought up to DH that getting pregnant now would mean that I couldn't help as much with the move and we would have more expenses, but he really feels like it's a good time to try just the same. Not to mention that we literally can not afford daycare for 2 kids at the rate we're paying right now. We basically just decided that things will happen the way they are supposed to regardless of if I'm pregnant or not. Hopefully that will stay true. I also have in the back of my mind the fact that the odds that we'll get pregnant right away are pretty slim.

I have a good feeling about your cycle too! Fingers crossed!! hopefully Friday will get here very quickly

I temp. I set an alarm 30 minutes before I ever have to get up and take it then every morning. I use fertility friend on my phone and just enter the temp while I'm still in bed... then I go back to sleep for 30 minutes and get up with my regular alarm. I think the biggest things are don't get up and move around or talk before you take it and be consistent with the time that you take it. My temps spike about 0.5-0.8 of a degree after ovulation. The cycle that my temps were all over the place I just spotted for 2 wks straight and never had a real bleed.

My ovaries have been hurting today. I bought some OPKs and took one tonight. very negative. CD9 so I expected that. Gives me a good baseline! I just got paranoid since my ovaries hurt already. Last dose of femara tonight. Still spotting. Longest. AF. Ever.

So excited for all the possible new comers! Let me know when to add you to the list

Megs and Kelly: fingers crossed

Flutter, hope you O soon!

AFM: I had a super low temp this AM, was disappointed about no spike, but thought maybe it was a pre O dip. Checked my cervix, still high and soft. Then I had sharp pains around 3... Got home about 6, took an opk and checked my cervix. It was low and firm and the opk was neg. So I am thinking I Oed today and hoping that it's not annovulatory. Wouldn't you know, we BD 4 days in a row, but not the day before O or day of O, well technically We did tonight but it was too late with the neg opk and my low cervix.... So basically pointless. So frustrating!

Ead, how did the IUI go?

Flutter, hope you O soon!

Ggill, I take mine in bed every morning at the same time and put it in my frtility friend app. Opks work for me mostly, but this cycle I have positive for 5 days! Nothing is consistent with me!

Tink -- good luck with the decision! I see your DH's points, but ... yeah, that's a tough call.

Peak -- LOL, girl!! You are making me want to test, and I always wait until 12 dpo! I may have to break down and test Friday if you're going to.

AFM -- 6 dpo. Just hanging out, waiting ...

minipie · 05-08-2012, 03:26 AM

Hi girls!

I have been "away" for a while, taking a break for a variety of reasons, but I'm back.

Today AF arrived, which means that I am now officially back in the TTC game! I have never been so excited for my period to arrive! Now let's just see how long it takes for me to actually O...

I am terrified and excited at the same time, but all the signs are telling me that now is the right time to go for a second one.

I'm excited to see so many other familiar faces TTC at the same time. I'll try to keep up with everything as best as I can.

Good luck to everyone testing this week!

I didn't get a BFP with Kelsey until 12DPO, but with this one I got a BFP at 9DPO!

karidpt · 05-08-2012, 09:00 AM

Mini, welcome back!

Birdling, good luck!

Carolina, how's it going with you!

Slight rise but not my normal post O, so I just don't know..... Maybe a slow rise but not holding my breath!

Ggill, tink, and maryfaith: do you want to be added to the list?

Instead of randomly posting updates of the list, I am just updating the first post anytime their is new info so that it's easier to find. So all updates are on the first post

thanks!

ggill · 05-08-2012, 09:43 AM

Kari- Yes please

Thanks!
