Re: TTC Check In
Where are you in your cycle? CD 28 DPO 12
Have you done anything different of plan to? I used digi OPK's and plan on doing that again this coming cycle. I also am not going to have sex every single day I get a smiley. I'm going to be O'ing the day we are away and staying in a dingy motel so we shall see how that goes!
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? I'm thouroughly disappointed I saw some faint brown spotting when I wiped last night and and know more will come today. I am so bummed and DH is not a good support to lean on at times like this. As much as it pains me to admit though he sucks when AF comes. I am cranky and moody and obviously bummed and he likes to push my buttons and bother me. I wish I could kick him out of the house during AF.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? A nice thought... I wish there was a magical way to transfer everything I feel during AF to DH so he can see what it feels like to be bloated, crampy, achy, moody and bleed for days!
QOTD: Any weekend plans? Tomorrow we have dinner plans and I am drinking since I am spotting and AF is def coming. Cheers to that B*TCH! I am going to Kenny Chesney, Eli Young Band and Eric Church concert on Saturday!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!! I am more excited about that then anything else.
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise? Without a doubt yes! I could not go 9 months without knowing. I am a planner and need to plan!

Where are you in your cycle?
CD61
Have you done anything different of plan to?
I am starting to lose weight. I've been trying to pay attention to what I'm putting into my body.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general?
I'm just ready for everything to fall in place already!
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: Any weekend plans?
Work Saturday, a surprise Bday party for one of DHs friends, then Sunday we have a college send off party for one of DHs friends kids. Next week will be a long rough week, work wise.
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise?
We will find out. I am a planner.
My Ovulation Chart

Have you done anything different of plan to? Still waiting on DH to get his SA.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? Not getting PG isn't fair. I'm looking at it like a total child, and I don't care. It's just not freaking fair.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: Any weekend plans? I have tomorrow off for my summer hours. I need to do a bunch of baking during the day, and then I'm working a couple of promos tomorrow night. Saturday we have my grandpa's 80th birthday party, and my mom and younger brothers are flying up for it. It'll be good to see them again so soon after being down there for our visit!
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise? I will absolutely find out the sex and everyone who could possibly get us gifts will know it. I fully intend to keep the name completely secret until the birth though; I'm not a fan of people referring to their fetuses by name.

Where are you in your cycle? CD 9
Have you done anything different of plan to? I'll think about it.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? Nope. I'm pretty chill about it, which is different.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope. I think I might call for a routine appointment soon though, because it gets tough to get in sometimes.
QOTD: Any weekend plans? Our twin nephews are turning 3 tomorrow, so their birthday party is Saturday. Oh the joys of spending more time with a ton of children around.
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise? I'm keeping it a surprise. I have to do it at least once.
Where are you in your cycle? CD8
Have you done anything different of plan to? Currently on Clomid, but that probably doesn't matter. RE on the 20th.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? Not in a good place today, see separate post.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope. Not thinking currently. I don't know how you ladies (especially 3Ter's) do this.
QOTD: Any weekend plans? Maybe I'll paint our back doors. I dunno. We have a surprise 30th birthday to attend on Sunday. Should be fun. And any distraction is probably good.
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise? Plan would be to keep it a surprise. We both tend to like gender neutral themes anyway so that works. But I can be impatient so I can't promise I wouldn't change my mind if the time came.

Have you done anything different of plan to? I don't know. I'm kind of in a funk right now.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? AF coming on Sunday just threw me into an emotional tailspin. With the still elevated temps, I was so emotional. DH didn't know what to do. I feel really bad for him because I've been pretty hopeful most of the time. I think he was really suprised to see me that upset on Sunday.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope
QOTD: Any weekend plans? I think we might go see the Conjuring. After such busy weekends, I'm excited for a little rest and TLC at the pool.
CBHQ: Would you find out the sex of your baby or keep it a surprise? I would like to be surprised, but I am too much of a planner to wait to find out. Plus I want to be able to decorate the room for a boy or girl. We would also have to find a boy name if it is a boy since the only names we agree on are girls.
