B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Where are you in your cycle? CD21 I got a temp spike this morning so FX it stays up!
Any plans for testing? Not for a while.
Have you done anything different or plan to? I started to temp on CD 15 to see the temp spike with my OPK's. I also drank Green Tea a lot between CD 13 & 20. I didn't see a difference. I did however notice spotting this morning after ST. Probably O spotting.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? This is the last cycle I am going on without DH getting tested. If AF comes in November then he needs to go, no questiosn asked.
Oh I need to vent! - DH literally jumped on me in his sleep last night, and no I am NOT exaggerating. I was then awake from 2:30-5 am. I am so F**ing tired I have thought about torturing him in his sleep tonight. Also, I make apple cupcakes last night and packed them to bring to work. DH took them out of my car and brought them to HIS job. He messed with the wrrronnnggg woman today!!
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Has anyone ever notice O spotting? It was right after ST but I guess that is a sign that I definitely O'd...?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? I had all my Halloween decorations out and ready to go and the nails came out of the wooden signs so now I have 3 things. I feel lame...
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? 110% I would! My sister does it with my nephew every year and they have the CUTEST pics! My nephew is batman this year and my sister is a ninja turtle.
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Hmm I can't stand people in general today but I guesssss I would say: people who drive up my ass (I am not a slow driver by any means), back seat drivers, being late, people who cut me in line, drivers who don't yield when merging on a highway

Where are you in your cycle? CD 29, 14 DPO.
Any plans for testing? I will tomorrow morning if AF doesn't come by then. I thought it was going to happen this morning because I had cramps when I woke up, but nothing came.
Have you done anything different or plan to? No.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I'm going to break down hardcore when AF comes. Not if, but when. That's how I feel about this actually happening this cycle.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? No.
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? A little bit, but not much.
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? Yes, and either a cutesy penguin or something.
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Slow drivers who won't get out of the way.
Where are you in your cycle? CD 23/13DPO
Any plans for testing? I actually can't believe I haven't yet. Probably because I only have 2 digis left and no cheapies so I don't want to waste the expensive ones, especially when I feel like AF is coming anyway. If she doesn't show by Saturday I'll probably give in.
Have you done anything different or plan to? Not really. I made an appt with a new OB/GYN, mostly because I haven't been to one in a few years, but also to let them know we're TTC and start building a history.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? Just feeling kinda "meh" today. I've been falling asleep on the couch by 8:30 for the past three nights. DH gets me up and into bed around 11, then I wake up around 4 or 5 and just toss and turn until I give up around 7.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nah...
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? Sadly, no
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? Absolutely! Not sure what, but I think it's cute!
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? People who roll their eyes at other people (in general it's fine, but I think to do it TO someone is rude), people who drag their feet when they walk. PICK UP YOUR FEET!, hypocrites
@pandpmeant2b - trust me DH is NOT off the hook at all! He knows it too...

Where are you in your cycle?
CD25, FF says 4DPO, I'm not convinced. FF didn't save my temp Saturday and I couldn't remember what it was the next day, so now I have a kind of important temp.
Any plans for testing?
Have you done anything different or plan to?
Just green tea.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life?
If I really O'd, this is the 2nd cycle in a row that I have had a relatively normal cycle. I am totally excited about this!
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year?
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples?
maybe. I know for his/her first Halloween, they will be a ducky.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 12cycles/12 mos
Where are you in your cycle? CD 10
Any plans for testing? I'll start using opks this weekend.
Have you done anything different or plan to? Nope. just more of the same. I'm debating not temping this month, but I think not knowing when I O will kill me. Today is the first day I have temped this cycle since the time difference was too much.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I'm just in a blah mood today. It is cold and rainy here, and I'm just not feeling it. Plus there is a lot of work drama, I came back to, and I keep thinking it is Friday. Can I still be on vacation???
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? Yes! Although, I do more fall decor in general. I have everything out plus the candy!!!!
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? Definitely! I saw this pic on pinterest of this infant dressed as a cabbage patch doll, and I totally want to do it!
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? annoying people, people that don't know what they are doing at work, bad drivers.

B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Where are you in your cycle? CD 3
Any plans for testing? Not any time soon
Have you done anything different or plan to? DH is taking a multivitamin, and I'm going to temp this cycle. And try to relax more, so I'm not a ball of nerves the whole cycle again.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I didn't expect to cry because the first cycle didn't work. It was much more disappointing than I expected. Almost everyone I know got pregnant their first cycle, we're young and healthy, I'm very in tune with my cycles, and I just let it get into my head.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? Nope
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? Heck yeah!
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Repetitive tapping (or any repetitive noise, really), nail biting/picking/scalp scratching (EYUCK), poor grammar/spelling, bad drivers, and other typical things.

Not entirely sure... CD13ish?
Any plans for testing?
Doing OPKs this week
Have you done anything different or plan to?
I'm drinking more green tea and trying to be more diligent with using OPKs
Any goods or bads with TTC or life?
Well, in addition to losing one of my jobs a couple weeks ago, this past friday my car died at a stoplight due to an alternator issue. Also DH was home sick with the flu for the past three days; he's at work today but I'm worried even if I get a +OPK he won't be feeling well enough to BIO
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year?
No
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples?
Absolutely!! I have a dream of dressing up as Rainbow Brite with them as Twink. I saw it on Pinterest a long time ago and just love the idea.
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves?
People not using their blinkers when turning or changing lanes. People who leave stacks of books any which where in the library or on top of books on the shelves... raaaage. Also people who leave the children's room an absolute disaster... double rage!
Good luck to everyone testing this week!

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 5months/5 cycles
Where are you in your cycle? cycle day 25 / 11 DPO
Any plans for testing? Im trying to wait it out until Sunday when FF says I should test.
Have you done anything different or plan to? We have discussed not pushing the TTC thing for the next few months due to possible delivery dates. Then a friend made me realize how stupid that would be to waste two perfectly good cycles. But cant help the anxiety I would have me entire pregnancy if I were due in August or September.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I spotted very very lightly, like only while wiping 2 times on day 9dpo and once on 10 dpo so I thought we would be out this cycle, but it was soo light and there has been absoluely nothing today. Trying to keep my mind occupied
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? Ha! yeah I just did last weekend. Total half ass job.
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? Nah.
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? People that dont use their turn signals, friends giving unsolicited parenting advice for my 11 year old when they have toddlers, and my parents kissing my kids ass when all he really needs a a dose of reality that not everything will be as he wishes. Also, teenagers. Soo obnoxious.
@transponster and @pandpmeant2b , I'm sending you both anti-AF vibes!!
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 3 cycles
Where are you in your cycle? 3DPO! FF finally gave me CH's! woot woot!
Any plans for testing? not yet.
Have you done anything different or plan to? nope
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I'm getting a cold. Whomp whomp.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? Yes! I decorated last weekend, lol.
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? I'd probably dress said child up... Me, not so much.
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Too many to list ... lol I really try to not think about it so they don't bother me. :-P

Any plans for testing? nope
Have you done anything different or plan to? Waiting to hear back from my RE as to what is next. I've been waiting for a call since Monday.
Any goods or bads with TTC or life? I was going to leave early today for trick or treaters but too many other people left first. BOO! 11 days til Disney!
Thoughts, questions, concerns? How long do you wait to call a dr when you already left messages? I called Monday and was told he'd call me back that day or Tuesday. Yesterday I called and left a message saying I still hadn't heard back. As of right now, I still haven't. Would you call again? I don't want to be annoying but I want to figure out what is next!
HQOTD: Have you decorated for Halloween this year? We decorated the first day of Fall! I should find a picture to post. I think we did a pretty good job considering it's our first Halloween with a house.
CBHHQ: Would you dress up with your child on Halloween? Examples? 100% yes. I don't know what, but something awesome!
QOTD: What are some of your biggest pet peeves? People speculating about things they know NOTHING about. Case and point: Today one of the people I work with almost passed out. He was lowered to a chair and in and out of consciousness. I am an EMT and everyone in my office knows this so they yelled for me to come help. After he was taken to the hospital they were all talking about how he "probably had a stroke" and that "he's been very sick lately". All crap. And then they were asking me to give them my opinions on what happened and all I said was "I'm not a doctor but something was wrong". And they just kept pushing their ideas of this, that, or the other thing. So sorry this is so long... but annoying people are my big pet peeve today.

I would call again. I hate when doctors don't call you back it makes me feel like I'm not important to them.
And to your PS - We love you around here so stay if you are comfortable in this group.

I work for a very large school district and the bulk of my job is from August through September. Sorting though and manually processing 18,000 meal benefit forms with only 3 people is tough now as it is and they would not hire anyone else to help my immediate supervisor if I was out.
While I work to support my personal life, I am very very close with my superviosr and I would feel like I was intentionally letting her down by being out. There is too much work for only 2 people now and with me out it would be almost impossible for one person to handle. Trust me I have done it before and I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. my supervior has always gone above any beyond to help me and I just cant do that to her.
