Hello everyone,

Apemberton and Amber I'm sorry to see you still here. I was REALLY hoping you were successful and had a buns in the oven. Sticky baby dust to you!!

My name is Natasha and we were very fortunate and have a beautiful baby girl, Kadence who is 9 months old. We are planning on trying for #2 next month so I thought I'd log in and see what's going on

Babydust to all!!

Natasha - Thank you for the support! It will all happen in good time I am sure! Good luck on ttc # 2!!

Rita - Glad to see that you are back!! Happy Birthday to the twins!! Sorry about the miscarriage, I have friends that have been through that and it can be so disheartening. Good luck with ttc this time around!!

As for me...AF showed this past Friday along with the Flu, so it has has been a rough few days in my household, lol! I am finished with AF now and the Flu is almost gone, so I will be jumping back on the BD train before long!!! I have my yearly appointment with my OB/GYN on February 16, so we will see how that goes and see what she thinks we should do.

Babydust to all!!!!

Well, I went for my yearly appointment with my OB/GYN yesterday. We have ordered some at home fertility tests (the digital kind) to see how things go next month. She was just a little concerned that we have not gotten preggo in this amount of time, but she said that it is very possible that we have just not hit the right timing. She said that a lot of women realize once they start the OPK's that they have not been timing right and that they actually ovulate at a different time than they thought so. So we will see next month. We ordered the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Tests, and there was a 20 pack on amazon.com that I thought was priced reasonably well, with shipping and all I only paid $27.02. If we use these and don't get much out of them, DH and I have decided to buy the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor. A bit more pricey, but I have found a package deal with the monitor and test strips through walmart.com for $190.00. The test strips themselves are pretty high alone, so I hope that these little digital ones work the first time and that we don't have to worry about it!! I have read reviews on both, and feel pretty comfortable in knowing that they work in terms of letting you know when you are most fertile, etc.

So we will see how that all goes. My doctor did give me the information for the fertility specialist, but she wants us to try with this first, and if it hasn't worked in about 3-4 months, she wants us to go to the specialist to at least get some testing done.

So I am excited, and hoping that we are able to get this done!!!

Baby dust to all!

just checking in again, dh and i decided to move up trying again to this month!!!! super excited!!!! today is the 1st day of my "predicted ovulation" so we'll see what happens...

Well....all out of chlomid now. Husband and I are now going to let nature take its course. We are so tired of "trying"............ So for now its just go with the flow "not worry" and hope things happen.

Good luck to everyone!

Aminor - I hope that the strips help you! Hopefully your doc is right and you're just off by a couple days. I'm glad you've talked to him/her about it so they can help.
Ruth-Good to see you back. Glad to hear you're doing well, good luck trying for #2!
Lara-How long have you been trying? Is Chlomid the last resort? Sorry, I'm naive in how the process works if you have trouble conceiving. Sticky baby dust to you.

Well we're getting close to ovulation time this month and I have to admit I'm really nervous about trying for #2... But I suppose I was really nervous about #1 too so I guess it's normal?

Sticky Baby Dust to everyone!!!

[SEhrenreich]

hey everyone,

vixen- OMG i was just thinking the SAME EXACT THING! my dh and i are also ttc #2 and i was also thinking about how nervous i am and was wondering if that was normal. i mean i was also nervous abt #1but somehow i think im more nervous this time. although, there is alot less pressure this time, at least for us since while we arent doing anything to prevent pregnancy we are also not trying as hard as we were for #1. anyway, after reading your post i guess it really is normal

we are really excited tho, i have 1 sister in law who is due in april so when i get pregnant the cousins will be pretty close in age. on the other hand i have another sister in law who has been trying for abt 9 months now for #1 and she is taking it really, really hard. i hope she gets pregnant before me, or thats shes pregnant already and i just dont know it yet. otherwise i know ill feel so bad telling her.

good luck ladies and baby dust to everyone!!!!

Well, AF showed last night, so we are excited to get to use our ovulation tests this cycle!!! Hopefully they will help us pinpoint a day and we can make it work!!!
