Anyone TTC #1 naturally in their late 20's?

Hi CK! Welcome to the site girlie ;-) Sweet of you to check on me! No, still no progress here. There's a lot of pressure once you hit the 1 1/2 yrs or more of TTC (which i pray you never will) to automatically start up with the fertility treatments. I'm really trying to stick with the natural way like you. I haven't lost all hope yet i guess...lol.

My cycles can be very long as well. They range from 20-52days. They go in a pattern. One cycle it's 20days...next cycle it's 40 days or more. But i am ovulating according to my charts. Are you doing the basal body temperature charting?

Hopefully you'll be blessed with a little miracle here soon CK =)

Hey Carolyn,

I have only been using OPK's. I guess I need to start BBT charting also this next cycle. But the thing is, I work midnight shift and not a stead schedule, so I dont get up at the same time each day. Sometimes I get up at 4pm, sometimes 7am, sometimes 2am. So that's why I never bothered starting.

Best of luck on your journey! You'll get there.

I'm 29 and on 3 month ttc naturally. this is my first month charting and using opks.my cycles just became normal 35-37 days. I would also like a ttc buddy to share this journey with. I am currently 1 dpo at the moment and freaking out about the 2ww. I am so excited at the same time. GL to u and baby Dust To All.

I am 26 and currently trying to conceive via iui. years ago i had an abnormal pap and had to have a cold knife cone biopsy to get rid of all of the cells. bc it was such an extensive removal it actually affected my fertility. i have to go in again bc when the healing was done it had actually scarred over and closed my cervix i actually could not even get my af..........the most painful thing ever. Now it is actually open but the canal is very narrow and bc so much of my cervix is cut off i do not produce enough cervical mucous to carry the sperm up.our next options was iui.

Hey Mrs. Ping. I see we're in the same boat. AF come this afternoon along with some horrible cramps so I am really bummed. Here's to November for us both.

Hoping, how long have you been using IUI to TTC? Thats terrible that you had to have the cone biopsy, I remember that procedure looking pretty scary. What CD are you on, or DPO?

ya my first day to test is actually my fiance's b-Day nov3rd.I'm really excited.

Hi Ck! Yea, with a schedule like that...I see why you don't do it. If you do decide to try it...my advice is to get the "Taking charge of your fertility software". It very well could be the answer you're looking for...it calculates everything for you. So even if your times are all over...the software will keep you on track! You can try a free trail of it at www.tcoyf.com. I did the trail, and then purchased it for $40. Defiantly worth every penny! Sorry to hear your AF came :-(

Mrs. Ping, November 3rd is around the corner!! Let us know the results =)

Good luck ladies ;-)

Thanks for the software tip! I think this month I'll start doing the OPK test earlier than what I have been, since my cycle was a lot shorter this month. It was only 27 days. I can't remember ever having a cycle that short in years.

I have a routine PAP next month, so I'm going to talk to my doc then about all this TTC business.
