I'm not sure if anyone stops by here anymore I haven't posted in a while. But I wanted to share our good news I'm Pregnant! After nearly a year of trying and bad news on DH male factor infertility we got here naturally. We are very excited, my due date is on my Birthday June 6th.

Well I'm 8dpo today and I have had a lot of symptoms over the past few days. My temps have been awesome really high! http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/185c40 with a dip at 6dpo which could indicate implantation. 7dpo and 8dpo I have been cramping and having twinges on the right side. My breasts have been really sore. The newest symptom I have had is this metallic taste in my mouth it lasts

I'm sitting here with tears running down my cheeks. DH Semen Analysis came back abnormal. His % of normal sperm cells were only 3% which should be %15. Agglutination he has a mild form of and his Viscosity is 2 which it should be 3 to 4. At this rate we'll be lucky to conceive naturally. Right now all I want to do is curl up and cry for hours and hours. It's not fair, it's hard enough with me

We are moving forward in the TTC process, last week I had an appointment with my OBGYN. She has ordered a bunch of tests and we'll formulate a plan when everything comes back. Saturday I went for my blood work for the PCOS panel including the Glucose Tol Test. I had some of my results back I'd like your opinions on the 1hr glucose test my numbers dropped and I'm kinda worried about that. These

I've done a lot of soul searching the last couple of days, and something has been made clear to me. I'm not going to wait I'm going to carry on TTC for better or worse. Yet another one of my Facebook friends announced that she was PG. Every time I hear a PG announcement I feel like a bigger piece of me is missing. The hubs and I have talked and if he doesn't find work when a baby finally arrives

It's been a while I have been so busy with my new job I haven't really focused too much on TTC. DH and I are not really preventing, however I haven't really tempted in a while. AF arrived on time last month so I'm still getting regular cycles. My heart is still aching for a little baby it's been so strong over the last few days, and now a friend I've become really close too is now expecting. I'm

Today has been such an emotional day, it started out with AF arriving. I was so disappointed seeming I had such a huge temp spike yesterday. I am glad however that I am getting AF regularly every month it shows that my body is working right now and it must mean that I'm ovulating regularly. This afternoon I get a call from a Graphic company I interviewed last week. Looking back I feel I

My temp shot up this morning to 98.5 the highest it's ever been. I was so excited I took a test BFN. I was looking at the test and imagining there was a line, what am I crazy or something?  - I even took the test apart to examine it closer. I think I might have a couple of screws loose or something. In other news a couple of my facebook friends have announced that they are expecting. I''m

I am 11dpo and I'm surprised I haven't tested yet. I think a part of me thinks I'm not even PG this month as I didn't have much of a chance. I guess we shall see what happens. On another note I'm debating on closing this blog down. Not many people come by and comment and I rarely visit other people's blogs.

Well here I am again in the 2 week wait, apparently I'm currently 3dpo. I'm not holding out much hope for this cycle as it looks like my O day was 3-4 days early. My chart clearly shows that I had a thermal shift on CD16 FF also gave me my crosshairs on that day. My CM wasn't even fertile around that time and I'm not even getting EWCM anymore the first month I was off the pill I had loads of it

AF has been and gone and now I'm on CD7. I just realized that if we get a BFP this month we will be looking at a Thanksgiving baby. I'm so excited at the thought of this!! A little Pumpkin baby :)

Dear AF, Thank you for the visit last month we had an interesting time together. However I really wish you hadn't stopped by this month especially 2 days early. I mean you should have called first to warn me you were on the way. Next month please don't show up at all your not really welcome, but I guess if you have to stop by please leave me a message and let me know when you'll show up.

I'm 10dpo today and my temp went back up slightly so that's a good thing. Last night I was getting AF type cramps but I'm not due for another 5days. They have gone now so I don't know what is going on.Been doing a lot of soul searching the last couple of days about the whole TTC journey and where DH and I are now. It's funny how I look at other couples lives and are actually jealous of what they

Just wanted to get a quick opinion from you ladies. FF is bouncing between CD15 - CD16 - CD19 for O day. I took away my positive opk on CD16 and it changed it back to 15. But in your opinion which day looks more like O day? I thought it looked more like CD15 or CD19. If I take out all my positive opks then it changes my crosshairs to cd19.http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/185c40It makes more

I'm a bit confused with how things are going this cycle. I have had dry CM for days now and suddenly I have creamy CM. My temps have been really crazy and today I inputted my temp and I got some croshairs Od on CD12. After checking CM this morning I decided to test and use an OPK, I think it's starting to turn positive. It looks like it did when I got positives last month, there is a thin darker

I'm feeling a lot better now that AF has been and gone, I'm looking forward to this cycle and seeing what happens. I now have a basis to work off I know how long my cycle is and what to expect. I'm currently rearranging my furniture in the bedroom to make room for a little one. I doubt very much we'll be moving before a little one arrives but you never know. I actually wouldn't mind staying in

TMI I went to go check CM and my finger was red. I didn't think I'd be this disappointed, but I am. I thought it was OK if I didn't get PG this month, "there's always next month" that's what I kept telling myself. Yes, that is the case but I had many people tell me I could be more fertile coming off the pill. So I had a good chance and that got my hopes up. I was hoping I got PG right away so I

Well 2010 is here I'm hoping this year will be filled with joy. I'm currently 12dpo I did cave and take a test and it was a BFN I think I might have tested to early though. I am getting a little frustrated and inpatient waiting to find out if AF will arrive or if I get a BFP. Seeming this is my first time off the pill in 10yrs I have no idea what my cycles are like. As for symptoms I don't have

My temps are rising like noting else, today it reached 98.3 which is the highest it's ever been. I'm been having really wired and vivid dreams the last few nights and I can remember most of them they are that vivid. I'm also still aching my lower back and my legs man I feel like I've been hit by a truck. The other night DH had to give me a rub down I was aching so much. Testing day can't get here

My temp is going down slightly over the last couple of days, I'm a bit nervous as it's getting quite close to the cover line. I'm still planning on testing New Years day I know I won't be done with my 2ww but I'm curious. Even if it comes back negative it's not over until AF arrives I'm staying optimistic. I've been really tired over the last few days, I don't normally take afternoon naps but I

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Right now I'm 7dpo and getting anxious about testing! I really would like to test New Years Eve or New Years day which would make me 11 or 12dpo. Do you think I would see a positive then? Or should I really wait until 14dpo. My chart is looking good my temps are still remaining high :) It's hard to not get excited!

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm so excited I finally have my crosshairs on Fertility Friend it says I Oed on CD20, so right now I'm 5DPO. I can't believe how excited I am that trumps all my Christmas presents. Thank you Santa for brining my little red lines to my chart. Lets hope something sticks for a new year surprise. Wishing everyone a merry Christmas.

So I guess now I am in the "2 Week Wait" I had a positive OPK test on Saturday and Sunday I was so surprised to even get a positive I couldn't stop smiling... I'm still waiting for Fertility Friend to give me my crosshairs but I've been told it's 3 days after you O. Now I just have to wait to test and see if something sticks this wait is going to be agonizing. My mother told me the other day that

The subject of TTC has come up a number of times between Clayton and myself. I suffer with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and trying to decide when the right time to start a family was always an interesting topic for us. I always wanted to be a mum, I always wanted to be a young mother. Here I am 26 and a half emotionally ready to have a child. I feel I've gone through my education, had a blast with
