Happy May ICLW!
Welcome to all the newbies and hello again to all my regulars!
If you are new and want to read all about our journey you can find all that info in the tabs at the top of my page under "How we got here" and " TTC time line".
Currently, we are trying naturally. I am CD 12 today and I am having some ovulation pains. I think.
I have been testing the OPKs since CD 7 and so far we are negative. The problem with me starting to test too early is that I get very impatient... hence the screen name! ;-)
I am looking forward to hearing from you and I am excited to find new blogs to follow!
Wishing lots of baby dust to all!!
Before I leave you I want to mention a few things...
First- Amber at Old Lady No Baby is gearing up for a FET on Friday- stop by and send her some baby vibes! I am so hopeful for her. Amber has become a dear friend to me and she really deserves to get her take home baby; not to mention a softball championship!
Second- Please swing by Its Jennifer Juniper and show some love and support. Jennifer is new to the blogging world and is struggling with infertility. She has not been diagnosed yet, but she thinks she suffers from PCOS. I know she would appreciate any advice, support or love you are willing to give!
Third- Not Pregnant and Pissed had a blog review written about the performance she was apart of this last weekend. It looks and sounds awesome! Check it out!
Lastly- My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families affected by the tornadoes in Oklahoma. I am thinking of you all
I'm CD1 as of today and already want to test with OPKs. Lol. I will need a whole bunch to get me through this month because I do not want to miss the surge. I hope I get another positive :-). Good luck to you on your surge search.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Damn about CD 1- but I am still so happy that you O'd on your own! That is so awesome!!!!
DeleteThanks so much Teresa for the shout-out! Good luck finding your surge!! I'm on CD14 and just started testing today, trying two-a-days this time! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! I am happy to help you get some supporters! These ladies have saved me! Just ask my husband! ;-)
DeleteI hope you find a surge! I like to take photos of them and compare.
Thanks!!
DeleteI'm a compulsive photo-taker of all things in my life. Definitely includes OPKs... lol
My blog traffic sky-rocketed today... wowsers! Thank you so much! It's so fun connecting with people with a common link. :)
DeleteJennifer, that is so great! I am happy you are getting support! It was my pleasure to help.
DeleteRegular viewer, but back doing the ICLW thing this month. Is this an IUI or TI cycle for you? Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteHey hey! Hope you are well, I just finished reading your post on your blog!
DeleteWe are doing good old TI this cycle... if I ovulate. We won't be back to the RE until next year when we face IVF. I am hoping for a miracle!
Hi from ICLW! Good luck with this cycle! Hope those pains are a follicle or a few making their escape!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenni! Welcome! I hope the pains are a sign of something good as well!
DeleteThanks for mentioning my blog lady! I appreciate it. I'm hoping you get a positive on your opk soon! What is the window you usually get a positive? I can get one anywhere from cd13 to cd18!
ReplyDeleteYou bet! I wish I was there to see the show! What a great review!
DeleteWell, OPKs and I don't mix well without fertility meds... so I don't really know if I will get a surge without them. I say I typically O around cycle days 16-21 It is quite a window. We look forward to the 2ww so we dont have to BD! LOL! Horrible.
Hi from ICLW. Hoping you catch the egg. I already follow Amber so I'll be sure to wish her luck.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca! We are in the FB support group together! ;-)
DeleteHope this is the cycle for you!!!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Hugs back!!
DeleteHi again sweetie! I am faithfully following your posts and wishing you a *nice and fertile cycle* I love your blog and can't wait to see what the future holds for you! Here's hoping that PCOS quiets down and some nice lil eggs visit you!

I will probably skip ICLW next month since we will be on vacation!!!
DeleteThanks, Stasy for sticking around!
Love that quote, and I need to remind myself of that more often (along with a million other "better" ways to deal with things). :)
ReplyDeleteHoping you catch that surge and your dreams come true this cycle!
I love quotes and lyrics!
DeleteI am still waiting on a surge... hopefully I catch it!

Last month when we were trying on our own, I waited to start testing until CD13 because on my own I have long cycles. Then I got my period on CD24. I have no idea when I ovulated...I totally missed it! It's better to start early. :) Good luck trying on your own this month!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW girlie! I'm so mad that I totally forgot to sign up! Oh well, guess I'll have to sit this one out. Fingers crossed that you'll get a positive OPK soon!
ReplyDeleteWell, as usual, I'm late to the party. Do you think I will EVER catch up in my blog reading??? Thank you so much for the shout out. You truly are a good friend and I appreciate you so much. Like, thiiiiiiiissssssssssss much!!!!!!!!!
