Re: TTC Check In
Where are you in your cycle? CD10
Any testing plans? I'll pee on some OPK's if I see a change in CM. Otherwise, nope.
Have you done anything different? Femara this cycle is new. If it makes me O then we'll do 3 cycles til moving on. Otherwise, it's on to injects/IUI next.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? I'm finally starting to feel better! Excited for Friendsgiving tonight (I'm bringing stuffing muffins and chocolate chip pie). And excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow (bringing drunken cranberry sauce!). I'm ignoring the bads today.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope.
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Seriously, I LOVE the holiday season. I just wish it was warmer!
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? No idea. I need to get on this!
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? I don't know. We might out of excitement, but at the same time, we want to try to wait til at least the 8-10 weeks.
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 12 months/12cycles
Where are you in your cycle? CD15 - pretty sure my temp will be spiking tomorrow.
Any testing plans? I finally got my new clearblue digi this month and saw instant smiley's but now my digi is stuck on a smiley. I'm hoping it is broken....
Have you done anything different? We tried EOD this cycle, preseed, other than that I just haven't spoken to DH about my cycle at all... so hopefully he is feeling more relaxed. I plan on not temping once I see crosshairs.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? My Mom is making this Thanksgiving a nightmare! The family drama that unfolds when she is involved is unexplainable...
Goods I O'd early or will O earlier this month than the last 2!
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Hmm... No...
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? I love the idea of Holiday season coming and spoiling people with gifts but having divorced parents and one parent who is irrational and bipolar makes Holidays VERY hard on us(kids).
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? So far I got him a new sweater and polo shirt for work. I am going to buy him a new wallet, ipad case with a keyboard, and some small things.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? IF this happened I would be around 8 weeks on Xmas, if I had an u/s by then, then maybe we would agree to do something cheesy and creative as a gift so that way both sides find out the same day. Otherwise if it's too early for a u/s then we would wait until January.

11/7
Where are you in your cycle?
CD7
Any testing plans?
Nope. Maybe start OPKs next week.
Have you done anything different?
Nope.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC?
Nope. Dreading tomorrow. I just want to stay home and be lazy! Not go anywhere!
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Not this week.
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful?
I mostly enjoy them. I try not to stress about much.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH?
I got DH tickets to Jim Gaffigan that we went to Saturday. I told him that was all he was getting, but I will probably end up getting him more stuff.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait?
It wouldn't change when I tell. I'll honestly probably tell everyone after my first appointment regardless. Some people before the pee dries. :-)
My Ovulation Chart
Where are you in your cycle? CD34 and 14DPO... just waiting on AF
Any testing plans? Just temping as usual
Have you done anything different? I'm thinking next cycle I may try more natural remedies.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? I didn't test at all this cycle except for OPKs, and I held out til yesterday and got slightly hopeful because you just never know right? Nope, BFN. So now I'm just waiting for CD1 to start over.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I asked this question last week but I didn't get any responses. Does anyone have any experiences with TTC and either your spouse travels or you do for work? I just accepted a new job and could be traveling a little and wanted some insight.
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? I am a fan but it is very stressful, with cooking, hosting families, spending money.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? Probably some new jeans and a couple other small things.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? I would definitely tell because for my family, we barely get together and would want to share the joy with family.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? TTA 2/2
Where are you in your cycle? CD20, 2DPO
Any testing plans? Nope!
Have you done anything different? Condoms!
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? I o'ed earlier than I ever have which is amazing! Bad is that my messed hormones are making it tough for me to drop the weight I put on. Hoping this is the beginning of normal.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? No
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? Love them, not stressful
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? He's getting some crazy expensive tool with a bunch of accessories. I'm wrapping it all up separately.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? Not happening. But in a fantasy world, then probably if we had a viability u/s already.

QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? Stressful.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? H is getting his own MacBook Pro. I don't know if I'm getting anything--I don't really need anything.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? FIRST of all, I'd be friggin' rich. Don't worry, I'll cut you all in on it. Immaculate conception and all. And also, yes I'd probably tell my mom right away because I have no shame.
Where are you in your cycle? CD11
Any testing plans? Nope, taking a break (surprised I actually know what CD I'm on!).
Have you done anything different? Nothing different over the past couple of months.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? DH and I now have a plan in place to do IVF in July... We had applied for a IVF grant earlier this month but found out on Tuesday we didn't "win".
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I've been MIA around here since the start of the summer after 2 unsuccessful IUI attempts, selling a house, living with mother/step-dad for the summer, buying a new house, moving out of town and still working 2 hours away from home, and now living with MIL and BIL (temporarily)… Needless to say, life has been crazy!
QOTD: I love the holidays (mostly the entertaining and time with friends/family). I love giving gifts, but I tend to be stressed out with accepting gifts.
QOTD: Not sure just yet since we are trying to save money to afford IVF next Summer.
CBHQ: Truthfully, I have no hope of getting pregnant without intervention at this point, so I'm not even letting myself go there. I've had enough of these thoughts previously, and I tend to drive myself crazy! :oP
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
Where are you in your cycle? CD 17, IUI on CD 14
Any testing plans? Currently testing out my trigger shot, will take hpt on 12/11.
Have you done anything different? Yes, this was our first cycle with Letrozole and responded really well to it. After no response to clomid, I was really happy to respond to that. Based on DH's SA, we went on and did an IUI instead of timed intercourse.

I love the holiday season...winter break!
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH?
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait?
Where are you in your cycle? CD6
Any testing plans? I refused to buy any tests this cycle, my DH bought one frer and is holding it until he decides we test.
Have you done anything different? This cycle I stopped temping, I chart but only BD and OPK. We decided to try and BD EOD this month. Still taking vitamin d, prenatals and evening primrose. Bought fertiaid for my DH and it was supposed to be here yesterday but never came. Preseed for every BD. We are trying to be more relaxed in general this month.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? Two chemical pregnancies in a row and I think I have a cyst. I'm feeling really beaten down, but trying my best to be positive.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? If we don't get it this month we're taking Jan and Feb off.
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? I typically enjoy this time of year. I love Christmas.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? I got him a new reversible belt that he wanted/needs. And I'm going to get him new work boots.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? Absolutely wait. I would tell DH but no one else. Esp with two chemical pregnancies behind me. I think I would really have no choice but to wait at least 10 weeks.

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!
My friend gave me the number for her doctor though so I'm going to call and see about getting an appointment with him. Unfortunately I have to wait until January to see him though, but that's only because my insurance will be covering the testing by then, so at least I shouldn't have to pay out of pocket.

Where are you in your cycle? CD6 (My last pack of BCP!!!!)
Any testing plans? See the first question.
Have you done anything different? Nope.
Any goods or bads in life or TTC? TTA
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I finally got DH on board with my master plan!!! Depending on what my rheumatologist says today, I will stay on the meds for a year then be off them while continuing TTA. Once a year off the meds rolls around, we can TTC!!!!!!!
QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? I absolutely love them. Celebrating Christmas is so much better when it's cold outside.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? I bought him concert tickets for one of his favorite bands (but the concert isn't until August). I plan on getting him a few other little things.
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? I'd be terrified because of my arthritis meds. The side effects on PG are really scary. I'd tell my DH, but no one else. (On a side note, I've been having dreams about this lately...)

QOTD: Are you a fan of the Holidays or do you find them stressful? We got married 12/12/12 so we didnt really have Christmas since we were busy and gone most of the month. And we are trying to sell our townhome so we don't have any decorations out so its mostly sad this year. We thought for sure we would have sold by now, so no grand Christmas again. We are both really good at being done by Black Friday.
QOTD: What are some gifts your got for DH or plan on getting for DH? He is getting cologn, and a new watch
CBHQ: If you found out that you were PG this cycle, would you tell anyone since it's the Holiday season or would you wait? No I don't want to tell anyone until its about to come out.... my MIL is going to drive me crazy once she knows.... so I am on the lets not tell anyone ever.
