Re: TTC Check In
How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
11/7
Where are you in your cycle?
CD1
Have you done anything different?
Nope
Any goods or bads?
See my other posts from this morning.
Testing plans?
Newp
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Nope
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing...
We are headed to my family, about 1.5 hours away. I would really just rather stay home and have a day alone with my hubby. I work the day before, and the day after.
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. Or home grown green beans with bacon and onion. Yummm
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner?
Tea would go over better than soda. I would to be happy, but I don't want to be one of those moms that gets upset over every little thing. My ILs will probably respect our wishes better than my mom will though.
My Ovulation Chart

Where are you in your cycle? Waiting for AF to come post m/c.
Have you done anything different?
Any goods or bads? Go in today to see if the medication on Tuesday made me pass it. Hopefully it did. Then I just wait for AF to come in a few weeks, mark that CD1, and will start temping and TTC again.
Testing plans?
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I'm debating on whether to temp or not. H thinks I should so I know where I'm at in my cycle, but I sort of just want to wing it for a few months and not know.
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... Lunch at IL's, Dinner at my parents, then we're doing a Friendsgiving that weekend. Wine, beer, cigars, lots and lots of cheese, dessert, and more food. Yum.
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? That's a hard one. H's aunt makes this amazing pastachio salad.
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? Meh, whatever. If it's only 1 time then it wouldn't bother me. As long as that's not what it has in its sippy cup at all times.

Where are you in your cycle? 10 DPO
Have you done anything different? Chilled out a lot
Any goods or bads? This 2WW is going much faster than last.
Testing plans? I tested this AM. I don't know if it was my eyes or a shadow, or what. I'm not sure if it was blank or not. I'm going to test every morning until AF is due.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... We're traveling up to be with family from Wednesday through Sunday
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? Stuffing with cranberry sauce on top!
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? I don't think I would be thrilled, only because tea has caffeine in it's usually sweetened with a ton of sugar. But it's also one drink so not a huge deal to me really.

Where are you in your cycle? CD3
Have you done anything different? I took Provera to make me start my cycle. Have HSG test scheduled for Tuesday and will hopefully start Clomid with monitoring if all is clear.
Any goods or bads? I've been super emotional, bitchy and cramping like crazy. This is the worst period I've had in a very long time!
Testing plans?
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Just nervous and anxious to get the HSG over with.
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... My family rented out two beachhouses in Galveston, so we will be there from Wednesday til Sunday morning.
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? Sweet cornbread! Yummo!
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? If it was a one time thing, no big deal. But if they repeatedly tried to do it, it would be an issue.

@goodwolf I would totally be testing again. I see the faintest of a 2nd line, but it could be because it sat for a while before you posted this picture.
FX and Good luck!!! I'm so hoping this is it!

I TOTALLY SEE A LINE ON BOTH! Holy Moly! Test again tomorrow!!!!!
My Goodreads Read Shelf
* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
This one I see the very faint 2nd line. I would call that positive, but would test again tomorrow or later in the day to see if it gets darker. Or pick up a digi and see what it tells you.
I won't go all OMG Congrats on you yet, but I'm secretly saying it inside. lol.

Where are you in your cycle? CD20. Since we are TTA this month, not in the harrowing 2WW. Just basically holding out for AF in a week or so so we can get back on the TTC wagon next month.
Have you done anything different? Not really
Any goods or bads? Within an hour on Monday, I was promoted at work and my grandma died. Long story. Details are on NBC if anyone is really interested.
Testing plans? Nope
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nada
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... We go to ILs for dinner and my parents for dessert. My mom makes something like 15 pies (for 7 people).
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? PIE
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? Not a big deal for one meal, especially a special one like Thanksgiving.

Where are you in your cycle? CD 9
Have you done anything different? Not yet,
Any goods or bads? DH and I have had no time to have ST this week. We are so wiped out from our renovation projects that there has been no energy for ST. :-(
Testing plans?
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Meh, not really.
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing...
We are having about 3 or 4 Thanksgivings and I'm not happy about it. We are doing half the cooking for 2 of them and the other 2 are hosted by my IL's. None of which are at our house, THANK GOD!
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? Corn Casserole... Mmmm
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? I asked this bc my FIL does it ALLL the time to my nephew and it pisses me off.
I don't think a 1 year old or a 2 year old she be drinking Iced Tea... My 4 year old nephew on my side of the family had his first sprite ever last month.

@mrsvedo - I am so sorry about your grandmother
How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
5th cycle just started
Where are you in your cycle?
CD2
Have you done anything different?
nope
Any goods or bads?
Uh... the bad is I feel stupid for my "Can I count my spotting as CD1?" post. Especially since AF came yesterday. So, there's that.
Testing plans?
Nope
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing...
My family, then DH's family (mom's side), then possibly DH's Dad's side of the family
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish?
Stuffing!! and pie. Lots of those.
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner?
I could see giving it *occasionally* to a 2 or 3 year old, but a one year old? Not cool in my book. I'd be pissed.
08/13: Started TTC - 07/14: PCOS dx
BFP 09/18/15 - Baby S 05/27/16
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
12dpo, hugely bloated, feel like crap and super moody. Test today I thought might have been faint positive but I think it's an evap. Using a first response when I get home.
"I can do all things, through Christ who gives me strength."
My Ovulation Chart!
Wife to a wonderful man, who wants to be a daddy as much as I want to be a mommy. Hopefuly soon!
Where are you in your cycle? CD 28 and FF changed my DPO to 8 based on temps a couple days ago
Have you done anything different? Just trying to regularly temp at same time each morning
Any goods or bads? I thought my O date was around CD18 so DH and I made sure to have ST around then. But then my temp plateaued for a day, went up, went down, I forgot to temp for that weekend, then jumped so FF said O was another day and we didn't BD because of schedule issues. Bleh!
Testing plans? Not to hopeful this cycle but will test this weekend to humor myself and maybe closer to AF.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I just accepted a new job and this position may require a significant amount of travel. Just wanted to ask if anyone has a similar situation where your significant other has to travel for work and how your TTC has been.
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... We are going to my families in afternoon, then to IL's in evening.
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? Stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, and some delicious homemade rolls.
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? I'm a big water person, so I would probably be a little ticked off. I would want my kids to be like @Sewilson33 mentioned.

BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
Where are you in your cycle? CD2
Have you done anything different? I just hit a milestone I selfishly never thought I would hit. DH told a few of our friends. I think he was tired of dealing with everything and not having someone to talk to.
Any goods or bads? Well , we are now over a year of TTC. I'm very emotional today because of AF arriving, and my interview this afternoon. Also my mom and grandfather just got into town, so I have to pretend that nothing is going on (they don't know anything about TTC). I am a ball of emotions; sad, nervous, excited, overwhelmed.
Testing plans? nope
Thoughts, questions, concerns? nope
QOTD: What are your plans to Turkey day? Hostings, going out, doing nothing... DH and are having our annual Thanksgiving by ourselves. We cook a full dinner but eat in our pjs. We start the morning with the Macys Parade and waffles, watch football, and eventually make dinner. There will also be lots of wine! We go home for Christmas, so it's nice to have a relaxing holiday by ourselves.
QOTD: What is your #1 favorite Thanksgiving dish? Stuffing! I have my grandmother's recipe and I love it!
CBHQ? How would you feel about your IL's or parents giving your 1 year old Ice Tea(w/ sugar/splenda/etc) instead of water with dinner? I wouldn't like it, but if it is a one time thing, NBD. It's also better than coke or soft drinks.
