Hey ladies...just checking in on my natural ladies.
Jen..I didn't know you did accup. I am seriously considering it. I am still so excited for you and your Son ! Congrats again!
Hopin....sorry this wasn't your month but doesn't mean it won't happen.
Love & Frymomma...Welcome to our lil group.
Tryin...did you test anyway. I have heard of "break through" bleeding so I would make sure.

Mia...Mg...Heather..(sorry if I missed anyone) Good Luck!!!

Small update on me...had a gyn appt. and he did my pap (have one every 3-6 months) and he did an internal exam. Cervix is still very short. We told him about ttc and he told me that considering what I went thru w/Tristan he wants me to have a cerclage at 13 weeks (as opposed to 15-16 which is the norm). He also could not predict wether I would have pre-term labor again but would put me on early bed rest just to be safe. I had a lot of flash backs to the 3 times we almost lost Tristan and I actually told hubby I might change my mind and not want to continue but then I see Tristan doing something silly or hear him laughing or he snuggles w/me (not something he does often) and now I'm back on track. We're moving forward. So hopefully my pap comes back normal so I won't need anymore surgery and something happens soon.

are you taking any supplement?
I take prenatals, b12, progesterone cream
I started acupunture in April

why are you ttc naturally?
Money issues are scaring me for future, at this time the doctor hasn't offered anything else.

how long are ttc naturally?
It has been 17 months now, I am not sure if we will ever do more. My DH is not very supportive of further methods or adoption.

It is nice to see so many people are TTC naturally.

Me: GNC Prenatal pack, Royal Jelly/Bee Pollen in honey, Bee Propolis

4 yrs TTC and failed IVF #1

how long are ttc naturally?
until SOMETHING works! , considering IUI next month, we'll see.....

Question....some of you mentioned OPKs....I was using the O tests that detect LH surge...but I found the only one reliable to be the digital one by Clear Blue - but $30/box adds up quickly.....any suggestions?

hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

Welcome Angie and Jennie!! to us all.
AF showed up (again) this month but I am hopeful our time is close.

[heather81]

Angie and Jennie. I wish you the best of luck and pray we see those soon!!

As for me i am towards the end of my 2ww. AF is due in 4 days. So keeping hopeful and for my !

[Roxy]

are you taking any supplement?
prenatal vitamins

why are you ttc naturally?
I am a teacher and I just started working in a new school. I just can't fit in all the testing (bloodwork and u/s) in the morning with my new school hours.

how long are ttc naturally?
We tried for a year. Over the summer we did one IUI which did not work. We are going to try naturally over the school year and rethink our options in the summer.

I also am doing accupuncture once a week. We are hoping to get my period on a typical schedule so that we can start timing things a bit better.

[natenang654]

Thanks for the welcome ladies!

Heather, Good luck! I'll be for you! I'm in the 2ww too, on CD22, and my cycles vary from 24-30, so.... this might be the month!

Roxy, There are so many appts, scheduling is hard, but it sounds like you have a plan and hopefully you'll end up w/out any more procedures!!!

[hopin4baby]

hi ladies how is everyone doing.

[wntacambaby]

Hi ladies came yesterday I'm trying naturally 1 more time while I'm waiting for my egg donor to get approved.

[mgmsrk]

Waiting for AF, should be today or tomorrow based on signs.

This month will be our first IUI(FINIALY). So I guess I’ll be leaving this tread. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you all get your BFP soon.

[MONI]

Hey ladies, I just saw this thread...
Are you taking supplements?
No just baby asprin and prenatal vit.

Why are you ttc naturally?
After going throught the process of having my dear little one I'm just not ready to commit to all that goes with the treatments. Also I am scared of having multiples.

How long are you ttc naturally?
Right now I am thinking until mid of next year. I realy want another one and I'm not going to wait too long. We have been ttc#2 since June 08

I am having all those horrable old feeling of faliure every time af show up. I went through that for so long before we go our little angel. I forgot how bad it feels. Right now I am in my TTW and it just sucks. I want to be preg so bad but and think I might be but just have that feeling or that little voice that says yea right...you tried for 6 years by your self what makes you think it will work now. I am hoping my body remember what to do ! Good luck to all

[wntacambaby]

Hi Moni!

I'm ttc naturally 1 last time while I wait for my egg donor to get approved and lined up. The chances are in the miracle category however I have 2 months under my belt of ovulating on my own and this is the only 2 times I have ever caught my lh surge so I was excited just to have that.

I'm on CD5 and I'm taking 100mg of clomid CD3-CD7
and then tracking with ovulation kits.

Ive been ttc # 1 for 6 yrs so to think I could do it alone is crazy but I'm trying it anyhow.

Good luck to you this month!

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Hey Moni,
I had no idea you were trying for #2!! Good Luck and Welcome!!!

How is everyone? Any new news??

[heather81]

hey ladies, first of all good luck to all of you this month. i really hope to see some BFP's in here soon!!
Anyway as for me AF showed up on 9/5, how disappointing. It breaks my heart at night because when my little girl says her bedtime prayers she ends it with please god give our family a baby soon! Even my young child is getting disappointed with every month that goes by. I'm staying positive and I know that I will be blessed at the right time. So for now we will continue ttc naturally for the next several months in hopes that our prayers will be answered soon. I hope all you ladies are doing well and to all!
