Cycle Buddy Fertility Awareness method

Hi
I am ttc my seconf child and it is taking longer than i expected. My cycles have become erractic. I would love to have a cycle buddy to share this journey with. At the moment i am trying a number of alternative approaches to understand and get my body back in harmony. I would be particularly interested in sharing some of these experience with others who are doing the same. I am based in New Jersey and already have a child.

Hi, I would be happy to share and help offer support though I maybe a little further along in treatment.

I am also ttc #2 and it has been much more difficult than I dreamed it would be. Where are you so far in your treatment? How old is your first? I am also in NJ. I wish you so much luck, strength, and success getting !

preparing for FET =)

Hello. I am very interested in cycle buddy for November, December. I did my first IVF cycle in Seattle in October and I got a BFN. However, the transfer was difficult and they had to change the catheter. I read later that this significantly impairs the chances.

I was told I have fragile eggs. They got 20 eggs from me, only 6 fertilized with ICSI. I transfered only one fresh grade A-B blastocyte (that's the one they had to change the catheter with). They were only able to freeze one grade BB blastocyte. So I am scheduled to have the FET December 22. I am currently on BCP for the preparation and I have a RAGING UTI =(.

This will be my first baby if it works =).

Hoping we all get s!!!

i just started FAM this past cycle and am finding it very enlightening. I have pretty normal cycles (28-31 days) and had slight un-symptomatic endo. which was zapped during an exploratory lap. in May.

I feel more confident since FAM and really hope for BFP soon! We are trying for #1 since June 2006 (less a few missed cycles for travel)
I am in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Cheers
Nicole
