Can I start the TTC check-in?
since
@sewilson33 is on vacation? (And hopefully feeling better since her last post!!)
How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
Where are you in your cycle?
Are you planning on testing for anything this week?
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general?
Questions, thoughts, concerns?
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to?
Re: Can I start the TTC check-in?
Thanks for doing this. @callitcompulsive
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 5 months/2nd cycle.
Where are you in your cycle? CD31
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? Maybe OPK's again
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? I started the 4 week training yesterday for the marathon relay I'm in next month. It went surprisingly well, and I did 2 miles at a pace faster than my goal pace. So that made me happy. Tonight I'm meeting up with my mom right after work, so we can do some hill training. It makes me feel good to get back into the running.
Questions, thoughts, concerns? Yesterday I had a client come into the office, that I hadn't seen since the week after my wedding. I was wearing a flowy dress, and my gut has been pretty pronounced lately. She came into my office and patted my belly and said how excited she was for us. Then I had to explain to her that it was just post-wedding pounds, not baby pounds. I think she felt more akward than I did.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? How I Met Your Mother. Although this is the last season. Which means we're going to meet their mother. :-(

Where are you in your cycle? CD 27/ 8 DPO
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? Of course I am... Because I'm a pathetically hopeful noob.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? H applied for (another) promotion within his company, and he will be filling in at the position he applied for until they find someone more permanent. Seems to me they could eliminate a step and just give him the damn position!
Questions, thoughts, concerns? Newp.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? I can't wait for all my CBS shows to come back... I'm getting so tired of re-runs. Also, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, The League, etc.
I'm sorry, @brij2006 .
@callitcompulsive
I think this is the reason I ran 2 miles in under 17 minutes last night. Although honestly it didn't bother me much. Whatever, I know the belly is there and that dress makes it more pronounced. I just corrected her and acted like it was nothing.

Where are you in your cycle? CD29
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? Nope
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? I almost had a meltdown at my desk today. Found out one of the women I work with is pregnant again, of course on her first attempt. This is the first time I've ever been this upset. I'm happy for her but super jealous. I wish this was easier.
Questions, thoughts, concerns? Nope. Not today.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? Castle, Parenthood, Bones, HIMYM, Grey's, Big Bang Theory, Dr Who (even though it's not til November!)
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 5 days away from 12 months/1 full year. Woot.
Where are you in your cycle? CD30.
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? We'll see. I had an LH surge and good CM, so hopefully something good happened.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? Oh you know. Our 2nd anniversary is on Tuesday the 3rd, and I'm happy about that. But I'm also a little down that a year ago, on our 1st anniversary, we agreed that we were ready to start trying. And look where we are now.
Questions, thoughts, concerns? Not really, besides the above.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? How I Met Your Mother, hands down. I'm so excited I can't stand it! And my birthday is the next day after the premiere!
@transponster, Are you guys going anywhere special or doing anything special for your anniversary ?
@islandmonkey8, I'm sorry you're having a rough day. It really isn't fair.
Where are you in your cycle? CD 31, 9 DPO
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? NO! I'm going home from work tonight and not thinking about possibilities until I wake up for work next Tuesday, and then only if my temp is still up and I haven't started spotting/gotten AF.
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? I'm getting ready to flip shit on DH for not making getting his SA done more of a priority. I get that the damn hospital's hours for accepting a sample are total crap (must be dropped of my 9:30 a.m.) when people have to work, but if this was anything else that he actually was interested in, his ass would have found a way by now.
Questions, thoughts, concerns? My moods have been all over the place the last week. I feel bad for DH in that respect, since I've been snapping at nothing.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? I'm pretty much going to be glued to ABC: Once Upon a Time, OUAT in Wonderland, and Agents of Shield. I desperately want to try to catch up on the last season and a half of Bones so I can actually start watching that again, but I don't think it'll happen in time. And I might try to actually start catching Big Bang Theory when it airs instead of just watching all the reruns and OnDemands

Where are you in your cycle? CD31/6 DPO
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? I'm probably going to try to wait to see if AF shows before testing
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? I'm glad I O'ed...I thought I was going to have a long cycle this time! Plus things at school have been going really well so far. I actually feel like I am a real teacher now (it's about time since this is my 4th year)
Questions, thoughts, concerns? Just trying not to overanalyze every sign and symptom this time. I guess it's good that I'm busy and don't have much time to think.
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? Big Bang Theory

Good luck @callitcompulsive and @LuckyAngel07 when/if you decide to test! FX for you both!
@brij2006, I live in fear that someone will think that I'm pregnant and do that to me. I'm just going to say, "I'm not pregnant. I'm just fat."
@islandmonkey8, I'm sorry you're having a rough day. ((Hugs))

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 9 mos/9cycles
Where are you in your cycle? cd 26/15dpo
Are you planning on testing for anything this week? I'm trying everything I can to convince myself not to test. Our timing was totally off. FF said that I O'd early which I'm not entirely convinced that I did (that was also when DH was sick). Of course, my stupid brain is telling me, "Well maybe you were really pg last month" when my temps say that this is totally not true. UGH...the life of TTC!
Any goods or bads in regards to TTC or life in general? See above. I am totally trying not get my hopes up. I am really excited about being off work on Monday.
Questions, thoughts, concerns?
QOTD: Which fall TV shows are you looking forward to? Castle, Revenge, Criminal Minds, I'm already wanting Pretty Little Liars to come back even when it just ended Tues.
@brij2006 I totally would have slapped her hand. Rude! I used to wear a shirt where it seemed like everytime I wear it, some asked if I was pregnant. I'm saving it for when I actually am. haha.
