Since we haven't had this update in a while, thought I'd start. Whose In?

What CD are you on?
How did this cycle go for you?

I'm on CD#30.
Things *seem* to have returned back to normal PP.
I'm able to get a chart and pattern going again. YEAH!
AF should arrive any day.

Anyone else out there?

I'm on CD 29.
We did everything just right this month, but my temp just dropped today and I got a little spotting this morning. I think AF is on her way tomorrow or the day after... [sadashamed]

Ok - I'm officially throwing my hat in the ring... although we've been ttcing for some time now.
I've only just begun to figure out how to chart and run my basal theremometre... let alone all the abbreviations... so bear with me.

What is a cd?
What is a luteal phase?

This is such a fun board to watch, so it will be great keeping up with all the TTCers out there.

AF arrived for me today as predicted.

Tripper, you're being so faithful. God knows your heart.

CD = Cycle Day
Luteal Phase = The number of days after ovulation occurs until your period arrives. Progesterone is the predominant hormone during this phase. It's easy to remember this if you think of it as your "pro-gestation" hormone. It helps with implantation and increases your bbt. So, once conception takes place, you may notice your bbts will tend to stay elevated.

Happy charting and temping!

I guess we're unofficially trying at this point cause if I got preggers now morning sickness would ruin the summer plans at this point=) I don't know if I even have a cycle yet as my period hasn't returned but, I just wanted to pop in and join the ranks. =) -ren

It will be fun to watch all of the cycle posts and keeping lookout for BFPs!

Well I guess we are officially on the TTC wagon. I am not taking temps or charting O's or anything like that yet. We have only been trying for about 10 days now, so I am just going to wait and see what happens for a couple of months. DH says he wants to conceive before his 35th b-day which is June 1st, so I do have a deadline this time where I haven't before. I'd appreciate prayers that God's will be done, and that I can have peace in knowing that.

Cd: 14/35 (one week til OD)
technically not trying this month (although not not trying if you get my drift...) as we are off to Cambodia for work with our church with some children's organisations in 7 weeks time so don't really want to be preggie and worried things are ok while we are away. Leaving it up to God though. Suggested to hubby that as much as we want to get preggie now that we should perhaps stop trying for two months until we get back but he got really sad and didn't want to! Big change from first starting to TTC 20 months ago!! Hurray! He really is ready for baby now!

That's really encouraging! Blessings on your trip, and praying for your BFP in God's timing! ((hugs))

Hi Alison. I just wanted to give you a little encouragement just in case you end up preggo. I went on a missions trip to Samoa in the summer 07 and I was about 14 weeks pregnant. And although it was hot and SO humid that it was hard to breathe at times, everything went well. I was concerned also, but just stayed well hydrated and was a little picky about what I ate.
