[ChristaM]

Here is my info:

Chart:
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/10f700

Cycle Info / Special Plans:

Temping, checking CM/CP, using a Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor
Got first post partum AF on August 6, 2007
Breast Feeding which is causing irregular cycles & making it hard to temp (night wakings with the baby!).
My Cheri / Jenny readings both indicate October. Jenny says it's birth month ~ Cheri wasn't sure! We shall see!

Hi I'm Jennifer, married to DH for 5yrs, we have DD(4) and DS(2.5). I'd love a Pumpkin or Turkey timed baby in '08!!! DH is coming around to TTC for #3.

My chart: (will start charting in about 2wks):

Cycle Info:
~I'm on my last cycle of BCP and then will start natural BC through temping, and checking fertility signs until we're ready.

Hope we all get our BFP's when we want them!

Hi everyone :)

I'm taking a break from charting until probably Nov or Dec. We TTC'd Feb-July this year, and are taking a break right now for a couple of reasons. But plan to start again in January. I'm hoping that we luck out and conceive right away, so that we'll have an October baby!

[newenglanddaddy]

*cough* not a lady but throwing a post up here, as we might have #2 next fall.
We had our first this past May, and we are looking to have a second a bit soon after. Should be starting TTC end of Dec, so hoping we will get lucky in Jan/Feb - So I guess Oct/Nov. I kinda like the idea of Oct - we could use yet another birthday in October :) (My birthday is the 16, DW is the 10th)

I guess we'll all see what happens come this winter :D

[kevsgirl]

I am heading to the fertility dr the first week of November so hopefully I will be having another munchkin around this time.

I'm planting the idea to start trying around Christmas time, but am homing it doesn't happen till Feb so we can have an Oct or Halloween baby. I need to start charting and plan to after this cycle. This one was all screwed up.

Cycle number & any special plans:
I have it already figured out! LOL! I am ready Jan 31 to try for a girl! LOL! We used the Shettles method for the boys and it worked, so we are going to try for a girl this time...we will see!!!

Testing Date
Heck I will go with Valentines Day!! All I want for V-Day is a BFP!!!

We aren't going to start trying til Jan 31, hopefully it will work on the first try so I can get Oct 2008!! The boys were both first tries, so hopefully this will work too!! I can't wait!! :D:D
GEDD October 28-30ish!!!

Chart Link

Cycle number & any special plans (i.e. clomid, IUI, etc.)
We will start TTCing on December 27th. I am really hoping for an October bebe but if it happens for Septemebr I will be happy. We will be charting, using OPK's, Mucinex, B6, Greent Tea, Raspberry Leaf Tea, Maca Root and maybe SoftCups BUT we might try for a girl so we wouldn't use Soft Cups in that case.
Testing Date (once you know it)
ASAP! Like maybe the the 14th or the 15ht of January
4. Any other info you want to post!
I really would like an October/November bebe so we might wait to try at the end of January but I don't know if I can hold off till then.

Hi Ladies~Since I am not going to get the early summer baby I was hoping for, we're thinking October would be good. DH and I both work in schools, so an Aug/Sept would be difficult. We will be taking clomid-it only took one round last time and hopefully that will happen again. Nice to meet you all!

[gaberielsmom]

My name is Mary Anne, I have been married 8 1/2 years have 2 kids Gabe who is almost 7 and Elizabeth who will be 1 yr in one week today :( We just moved to England and are ready to have a baby!

1. Chart link -- working on it :)
2. Cycle number & any special plans (i.e. clomid, IUI, etc.) Currently number 1, pnvitamins and preseed
3. Testing Date (once you know it) will be around Feb 28th, 2008
4. Any other info you want to post! This will be are last, so really looking forward to it but it will be bittersweet. My daughter will share her birthday if this is our birthmonth according to Cheri I conceive in Feb so due in Oct. and I told my husband when he got home in August Iwould be pregnant by feb so how funny is that! lol! I am still waiting on my Jenny reading though. Look forward to getting to know everyone and hope that all of us is pg asap!

3. Testing Date will be around Feb 14th! Hopefully a happy Valentine's Day!

I saw some of you had experience, is the Shettles book worth purchasing? My DH wants a boy so badly, I know if we have a girl first the pressure will be on!

Getting close to January girls! :yahoo:

[muffintop]

Well I figure we have one Halloween Baby, let's go for two! HA! Still learning the art of temping and charting but below is my link.

[shellyca]

Hi Ladies,

I'm new to actively TTC, and we are doing the 'just let it happen' way for now, so I don't know anything about charting, etc. My cycles are pretty irregular, anywhere from 35 days to 48 days :-(. Don't know if my 2 M/Cs this year have anything to do with it. Anyway, will not be TTC'ing until mid-Jan, because, believe it or not, I want to get lasik surgery on my eyes, and can't do it until the new year, and they said they won't do it if I'm pregnant.

So, I'm here, hoping to stick around to the end with you all, for a sweet lil pumpkin pie in 2008. Good luck everyone!

[Snactuary]

Hey there! I told myself I'd stay away from the BB's until I had a BFP - but I can't help myself. My name is Sarah, DH is Rob, DD is Emma (16 months). We stopped BCP's in February when DD was 7 months old - but didn't actively try, but didn't prevent (and I continued to breastfeed until she was 12 months - in July). I was hopeful when I stopped nursing that we would have some luck - but two weeks later, I came down with pancreatitis - and it's been a long ordeal - lots of procedures and tests over the last few months. I am having one last procedure on December 21st to remove a stent in my pancreas, and then I'm free and clear to TTC - I estimate I'll O around January 14th - and I'm sooo hoping we have success the first month - I'm so impatient, and I also think October sounds like a fabulous month to have a baby - I'll get to take leave through the end of the year, including all the holidays!

Shelly - you might want to check with the lasik surgeon - I had lasik surgery in June 2005 - and they told me I couldn't get pregnant for six months after - because pregnancy affects your vision, and they need to wait six months to see how your vision levels out after the surgery. I will admit, I was pregnant 5 months after the surgery, but we did wait almost the full amount of time...

OMG - thanks for the tip, Snactuary! I will call them today to find out. There's no way I can wait that long to TTC ... I'm almost 38!! Good luck with everything, glad to hear you are doing ok now (that sounded tough).
