TTC Check In

Re: TTC Check In

  • How many months/cyles have you been TTC? 13 months/13cycles ish
    Where are you in your cycle? CD 17, 2-3dpo
    ANy plans for testing this week or did you test last week (since I missed this question) Tried temping again but I don't think my thermometer was accurate since it's dying. Went back to Wondfo's for opk's 
    Have you done anything different or plan to this cycle? No ST during fertile days before O bc DH was gone, but definitely ST on O (possibly one day before, and then one day after for good measure)
    ANy goods or bads in regards to TTC or life? Appt tomorrow at RE for both of us together and probably DH SA
    Thoughts, questions, concerns? Not until after the appt, I'm sure

    QOTD: What are your thought regarding TTC and coffee/tea intake? I've definitely cut back immensely, but quitting work really made that possible. If I hadn't, I'd still be drinking a cup of coffee in the AM and a diet coke in the PM. Period.  I'll drink an occasional soda if I'm out at lunch with someone, but it's not so much ttc, it's that I know it's not good for me and I'm trying REALLY hard.
    CBHQ: Cloth or disposable diapers? Disposable. I have a friend who's used Cloth for all three of hers, so maybe someday she'll convince me, but I doubt it.
    QOTD: Do you drink alcohol during your TWW?  I'll maybe have a beer or glass of wine but I definitely cut back. I'm not getting sloppy for sure.

  • How many months/cyles have you been TTC? TTA AL (4/1)

    Where are you in your cycle? 1 day post d&c

    ANy plans for testing this week or did you test last week (since I missed this question)? No

    Have you done anything different or plan to this cycle? Condoms. Awesome.

    ANy goods or bads in regards to TTC? Had my d&c yesterday at 13w3d. I'm relieved it's over so we can move forward, but still very sad. Now it's time to heal until we can TTC again after my next AF. Here's hoping it doesn't screw me up and I get AF before Christmas. Damn PCOS.

    Thoughts, questions, concerns? So many, but not worth exploring.

    QOTD: What are your thought regarding TTC and coffee/tea intake? Not a problem in moderation.

    CBHQ: Cloth or disposable diapers? We have been using cloth with DS since the beginning and will with our next child. Not more work than going to the store and buying disposables in my opinion.

    QOTD: Do you drink alcohol during your TWW? I barely drink anymore so I max out at 2 glasses in one sitting any time, but I follow the rule that I drink till its pink.

    Ditto, CIC. Wishing both you of you the best in moving forward.

     

    @DangerMuffin23, GL at your appt tomorrow! (But hopefully you don't really need it, and the recent ST will be successful!)

  • How many months/cyles have you been TTC? 10mos/10cycles
    Where are you in your cycle? CD27/15dpo (although, I just started spotting, so I'm pretty sure tomorrow is CD1)
    ANy plans for testing this week or did you test last week (since I missed this question)? I have been waiting to test, so we'll see what happens tomorrow and what my temps look like.
    Have you done anything different or plan to this cycle? Just opks again next month
    Thoughts, questions, concerns? Our timing was so good this month.  I'm just trying to not get bummed out.  I know this is really selfish, but I just didn't think it would take us this long to conceive.  DH has been in such a good mood this today because we saw his favorite band last night.  I'm trying to keep everything in and not be a downer.

    QOTD: What are your thought regarding TTC and coffee/tea intake?  I try not to drink a lot of caffeine.  Although in the summer I love McDs tea, and a large is way too much!
    CBHQ: Cloth or disposable diapers? I love the idea of cloth, but I don't think it is possible.  I really don't want to clean poop all the time, and we will have to put LO in daycare.  I will definitely do biodegradable diapers though.
    QOTD: Do you drink alcohol during your TWW?  I try not to drink a lot, but I'll have a drink or two if we are out somewhere.

  • @brij2006 I've gotten so tired of getting negatives that I just didn't want to see it this cycle. Plus DH has been around everytime I have been tempted, and he doesn't want me to test until I have for sure missed my period. But, with everything said, AF came this morning, and while my temps didn't drop to where they normally do, it was enough of a drop to think I'm not pregnant.

  • @abt8113 sorry about AF! I'm the same way with testing though because I hate seeing negatives as well. Hang in there!

  • Thanks y'all. I'm just really emotional right now, and I hate that I always get my hopes up. It doesn't help that I was on fb for one second, and the first thing I saw was someone else announcing they were pregnant. I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat and drink my feelings this weekend.

  • Thanks ladies. My hormones are kicking in today and I've had a very teary morning topped off by the fact that friends of ours had their baby yesterday. I'm happy for them but sad for us :( . Wishing you all a BFP this cycle.

    I'm sorry :-( I hate it when I get my hopes up too. Try to enjoy your weekend if you can.
