Re: TTC Check In
Where are you in your cycle? CD 32... DPO..idk maybe 15 or 17.
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? I have plans... If this cycle is a no for us I am starting back with OPK's I just have to get a new digi test.
Have you done anything different or plan to? I went all cycle not temping or testing. I temped the past 3 days to see if AF was in my future. I'm now left confused and lost... I'm not going to temp next cycle though, OPK's will be enough for me. Temping stresses me out.
Any goods or bad? I hate being confused, I hate being nervous, I hate being disappointed. This is how I feel right at this moment. I am a clusterf*ck of emotions.
On another note! DH seems to be on board with me changing jobs in the near future. It GP doesn't work out this year I am definitely not putting my career on hold any longer.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Thought: I wish there were more studies on Implantation Bleeding.
Question: I temped this morning... my room was freezing and the thermometer was on the window sill. I temped the second I woke up and it beeped within 2 secs at 98.3. I thought that was unusually fast to get my temp so I stuck it back in my mouth 30 seconds after and got 98.6. What temp would you believe.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I probably could have and should have tested this morning but I'm too much of a wuss to do it because I don't wanna see a negative and cry...
Oh also I haven't had ST with DH in over a week because I deep down think he will make AF come.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I would ask my sister to take the photos. She is a photographer and the newborn pics she takes are UNBELIEVABLE.
***I literally posted this and my body started to get crampy and I just spotted again... I GIVE UP!***

~Started acupuncture in May 2014~
~~BFP 7/6/14~~~EDD 3/14/15~~It's a girl!!~~
Where are you in your cycle? CD 8.
Any plans for testing (OPK/PG)? Eh, maybe.
Have you done anything different or plan to? Not this month, no. I don't see the point.
Any goods or bad? I'm really down about TTC. I'm stuck in another month of waiting before I can get bloodwork and and HSG, and it really, really sucks.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? No.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I don't have one right now.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I'd hire them done.
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 2/2 (why does it feel longer?)
Where are you in your cycle? CD2
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? newp ^^^
Have you done anything different or plan to? Nah, we haven't been trying long enough to warrant that.... and I have to keep reminding myself of that.
Any goods or bad? Bad - AF came to the party uninvited, as usual, yesterday. Good - Thanks to that, I can drink on my birthday this weekend! Plus, my cycle was pretty much text book this month, so that's good.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? My body hates me today. The feeling is pretty mutual at the moment.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I wasted a digi test on Saturday (11DPO) because I wanted to know if I could drink Sunday morning at brunch. Rationally, I knew it was too early to test and a negative isn't "permission" to drink at that point. For some reason, treating a HPT like a magic 8 ball made sense to me at the time.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? Photography is one of my hobbies, so I would do it myself. If I wanted to be in the pics, I would ask my father (he's who I picked it up from) or a photog friend (if I wanted certain pics... not like nudie pics, just the more "natural" ones, KWIM?).

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? first cycle trying
Where are you in your cycle? CD16, anxiously awaiting ovulation
Any plans for testing (OPK/PG)? I'm taking a lot of OPKs. A lot.
Have you done anything different or plan to? No, just trying to relax but my anxiety is getting the best of me. FU anxiety.
Any goods or bad? Good: H is ok with DTD EOD even if I O late, which helps. I feel bad that my body rarely ovulates before CD20, but I have O'd on CD12 before so we started DTD EOD on like CD8 just in case. So, it just seems like that's so much DTD and I don't want to overwhelm him. But knowing he's ok with it takes some stress off of me.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nothing new
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I don't think I have anything good today. Maybe that I really hope that we are successful on our first cycle, so I can move beyond this anxiety. I feel so selfish wanting that. I know it's out of my hands and we're doing everything we can to be successful - so why can't I just shut my brain off for once? Blah...
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I would like to hire someone.

DD born at 42 weeks 1 day | 8/18/14 5:33am | 8lbs 4oz 20.25in of perfection!
Where are you in your cycle? CD 6
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? nope
Have you done anything different or plan to? 150 Clomid CD 5-9. So that's different. I think I'm done wasting OPK's. I think I will only test with them this cycle if I see a change in CM. We'll be DTD every other day at least anyway.
Any goods or bad? Good: Our anniversary is on Saturday. I made a reservation for a really awesome menu'd restaurant today (stalk the delicious: www.atouteheure.com). I am actually looking forward to eating our cake after. Bad: Nothing *new* that is bad. I'm just still an on/off emotional mess with TTC issues.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? NTTC related: Anyone... stalk the restaurant we're going to Saturday for me... recommend some wine for us because it's BYO. If it helps, we like things like cabernet savignon (sp?), savignon(sp?) blanc.... and now I'm drawing a blank.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! Agh. I dunno... I keep eating peanut m&ms and I hate them... but I keep eating them and then whining about the weight I've gained in the last year.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I think both. I dunno!

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 3rd
Where are you in your cycle? CD10
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? I'm going to start OPK's tonight, since last cycle's positive wondfo on CD-fricking-14, but nothing else ever beyond that. So... yeah IDK... trying not to drink water so I don't have to pee before 6... suuucks
Have you done anything different or plan to? I've been trying to drink more water, hoping that the extra hydration helps with the CM thing... I want to do EOD during the FW but something tells me H isn't going to want to. I don't think he realizes that I can't just make myself ovulate at will.
Any goods or bad? Meh
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I am so not happy with my (lack of) sex life. I don't know how long I can hold it in until I fucking snap. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! LOL.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I guess I'll have someone do them. I'm no photographer, lol.

ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? I'm going to start OPKs on Saturday
Have you done anything different or plan to? Femara on days CDs 3-7
Any goods or bad? Good: It's Fall Break! Bad: Got the bill yesterday from the HSG. Fun times.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? nah
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! Probably not all that juicy, but I've been watching ridiculous amounts of Downton Abbey past seasons. I'm still cleaning house and hanging out with friends some, but that's my go-to for down time at home lately.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? I don't know. I can see myself trying to take them myself, and if they didn't look very good then I'd hire someone.
Where are you in your cycle? cd14 2 dpo (waiting for FF to confirm this tomorrow)
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? nope
Have you done anything different or plan to? I did opks this month and feel like our timing was really good. I'm worried that I am already getting my hopes up for a big fall.
Any goods or bad? Well today was really crappy. I got a flat tire on my way to work, all my cts cancelled and I still ended up being at work late. Looks like things are really picking up at work, so my time on here has been very limited. Also, DH was supposed to go to our clubhouse to see if my NSA gift has arrived, and he forgot.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I'm skipping going into the office tomorrow (we just have to check in once a day) to get a new tire. I know that wasn't the FFC you were looking for.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? Definitely hire. I would try to be creative, but it would end up looking terrible.
Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Where are you in your cycle? CD 24
Any plans for testing (OPK/PG)? Not unless AF doesn't show on time.
Have you done anything different or plan to? Next month I'm going to start temping and probably do OPK.
Any goods or bad? I'm crampy,bloated, craving salty foods, and my appetite is out of control. Sounds like PMS. :-q
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Newbie here, what the heck is QOTD and FFC?! lol
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC!
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself? Hire someone, but I'd try to do some on my own also.

Hi Ladies! Happy Thursday!!!
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 3/3
Where are you in your cycle? 7DPO CD 27
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? Monday morning, Happy Columbus Day?
Have you done anything different or plan to? not really, but ST really does make AF come in for me too, haha so none of that this weekend...maybe
Any goods or bad?
I've been crampy, but not like period crampy, more like right before i ovulate crampy, but for about 5 days...so probably all in my head.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! I love miley's song wrecking ball...
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself?
probably hire my friend, the photography teacher at the HS where i work, she's excellent!

Like @LuckyAngel07 and @DangerMuffin23, I will probably be headed over to the 3T Check in. It's time. Not only because it's been about a year and a half, but also because we're ready to to pursue testing, etc.
I've been trying to let H set the pace, so while I'm not thrilled we have to go down this road, I am comforted in knowing we're going down it together.
How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
I've stopped counting. Since May of 2012.
Where are you in your cycle?
CD 23/ 5DPO according to FF (It was my first cycle temping for about 6 months, and it took me a while to get back into the habit haha)
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)?
Nope.
Have you done anything different or plan to?
Oh, I don't know.. calling the doctor to start that fun?
Any goods or bad?
I'm just really happy that H and I are at the same place, and ready to move forward.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Not really.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC!
Nothing too Juicy. I'm 1000% skipping out on my cousins baby shower. And I don't even have a reason. I just don't want to go.
So, I'm not. Well, as soon as I RSVP no, I won't be going.
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself?
If I were to have a newborn photo shoot, I would hire someone. BUT, that's only if we were to do that. The real decision for us woud be if we wanted to do newborn photos, and not just take a heck of a lot of pictures all the time. haha.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? on to month/ cycle 5
Where are you in your cycle? day 5
ANy plans for testing (OPK/PG)? not this week
Have you done anything different or plan to? I am back to temping. So this will be the first month, temping, using OPK together. I also plan to honor my DH's requests for morning nookie during my fertile time. Hes a morning person, I am a night person, so our timing is questionable sometimes.
Any goods or bad? Im back to the gym and after my legs stop burning from my 2 mile run, 3 days ago, I will pick up my running everyday again.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?I just found out that I actually have pretty decent IF coverage should we ever need it. I hope we dont, but it puts my mind at ease knowing whats availible.
QOTD: Give us a JUICY FFC! - Dude, I am boring as shit, I never have anything good going on
CBHQ: Would you hire someone to take newborn photos or would you do them yourself?
I would do them myself. No pressure to buy anything and it will give me an excuse for DH to upgrade my camera.

thanks, ladies. I'm one of those 'I've always felt this wasn't going to be easy' people, but for no good reason.
I'm okay with where we are now, although, I haven't made any calls yet, so there's that. I do have a 'referral' of sorts, so the first step is calling my insurance, and H's insurance, to see what our options are.
Here we go!
