Hi there! My DH and I decided to ttc this June...it didn't work and it doesn't look like July will be my month either...but that just means I can be an impatient cycle buddy in August, right?


AF is due next week so I will be a little ahead of you but the 2ww will seem like an eternity all the same. Good luck to everyone in August, hopefully it will happen for one of us or maybe even all of us!!!!!

Hi! My hubby and I are also TTC, for our first baby. We half-heartedly started trying a few months ago, but now we are really trying. Got AF today, so it's been a really depressing day here, plus hubby is always gone working out of town, so it's hard to time it right!! I'm wondering how long it takes other women to get pregnant?? A friend said she tried about 8-9 months, another said give it a full year. I can't shake that feeling of "it's never gonna happen to me!".

Hi,
My cycles have been a few days out so having difficulty pinpointing a date... so roughly August 3rd for ovulation.
I stopped taking the pill in April and have been charting cycles since then... to no avail.
Fingers crossed for this month
Good luck!

Well ladies, I hope you don't mind if I share in your process as well. Looks like I need to spend more time here and less time obsessing about it with my husband...I'm stressing him out! Anyhow, I'm hopefully implanting RIGHT NOW, but I also know it is highly unlikely so I'm just focusing on the next month in front of me. I'm a nurse so I'd also love to have the summer off...heck, I'd love to just have 3 mos off with a new baby period! I will say, I liked being pregnant with my first child in the summer (lots of time bobbing in the pool/beach) which really takes a load off the back. See ya round!

wow! it's great to have so many ladies on here!


I, too, NEED this board so I don't spread my obsession to DH.

Forgive me...CP? I've been obsessing about ACTUALLY ovulating since I didn't even ovulate last cycle at all, in fact I believe my period was more of a uterine overflow issue. However, the hormones and moon aligned the past few days and so did my schedule with my husband and hopefully we were making a baby! Now, I really don't want to get my hopes up because I know statistically it's unlikely, but sure would like some validation at some point. My doc has me charting temps, cervical mucus, and ovulation predictor kit results. So I've been obsessed specifically about my temps and the OPK test results. Hopefully this is my last month obsessing though.

Shannon,
I assure you...I've had a few conversations with my husband like this. Which is why I'm turning to this board to vent my obsessive behavior rather than to him. I'm "excited" by a positive OPK and he is nervous. Rightly so. We got pregnant with Olivia literally a month after we met. So for the first 5 years of our lives together, it was with Olivia, no "us" time really. We are just now getting back to that since in Jan I finished nursing school and have lots more time. Now I want to go and get knocked up! I totally understand his nervousness.....and the less he knows about my goal, the happier he is (to his own admission). We made a beautiful child together so effortlessly and now he is very anxious. But a 6 year spread is more than enough for me and we have other career goals that I'd rather him not have an infant in the house at that time. It will make it harder. We are rational/irrational women at times for why and when and etc.....I mean, I was like you "I want a holiday baby" because I didn't want to have to work on those holidays that would mean so much. I actually thought my body would listen to MY plans...that was a joke, now I'll just be happy to have another child. Don't care about gender, don't care about when. Just want one.
