Re: TTC Check In!
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 13mos/13cycles
Where are you in your cycle? CD 16/3dpo (I think, I was bad about temping with Thanksgiving, so FF didn't get enough temps before hand I believe)
Any plans for testing? nope
Have you done anything different? I'm trying to relax more since I really felt like last month ST was more forced than romantic.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? I'm just ready for the weekend. We have Justin tonight and then Dallas tomorrow to see UK play Baylor. Also, just trying to see what happens since DH and I have decided get more help in January if we still are not pregnant. Thanksgiving was hard because I thought this Thanksgiving we would either have a baby with us or I would be pregnant. It didn't help that when I got on FB everything was pregnancy announcements, comments about eating for 2, or their "little turkeys." I'm better now though.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? nope.
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? I just take my PNM and sometime have green tea. We also do EOD ST. I'm not sure I completely know what you mean with this question.
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? I would. We already have a lot of friends with children though. I think the hardest thing for us will be finding childcare when I am at work because most of our friends are SAHMs or use a woman that watches teacher's children. We don't know a whole lot of people that use daycares or fulltime caregivers (one's that do more than school year care).

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 12 months/12 cycles
Where are you in your cycle? CD23 DPO 8
Any plans for testing? Not until late next week
Have you done anything different? Well I failed horribly at temping this cycle. I am going to play around with vaginal temping for the rest of the month just to make sure I can continue to do it if this cycle doesn't work.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Well DH is getting very vocal about wishing we were PG already. We discussed things A LITTLE last night, brought up by him. He said he isn't ready for testing yet BECAUSE he thinks I have been pinpointing O wrong. Which made me annoyed because I only went 1 month not temping and the month before that he didn't want me to use OPK's. So the 2 months I didn't target O properly was because we had agreed to NNT. So I explained to him that I am worried I might have a cyst on my ovary and I would like to see an RE to get the ball rolling. I told him a SA is the only thing he would need to get done and it is only to rule him out and look into me more. He went silent and thought about it, then didn't say a word about it again.
ANYWAY if this cycle is a bust I am making an appointment with an RE and going myself if he doesn't want to come or doesn't feel ready because I want to make sure that I am okay.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Pretty sure I just got all my thoughts out in that last one!
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? BBT Charting, OPK's, multi vitamin, knocked myself down to 2 cups a coffee a day, no other caffeine drinks at all,
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? My SIL is part of one and she lives 5 mins from me and she loves it. I would definitely join one in our area because I like the woman she has met and the play groups.

Yeah. Luckily DH and I were by ourselves, but it still sucked. I hated not being thankful for all the blessings we have, and being so focused on that one thing that is missing. DH was really supportive and said that he had the same feelings, so that was nice.

Where are you in your cycle?
CD15, waiting to O
Any plans for testing?
OPKs. Hopefully I won't have another annovulatory cycle.
Have you done anything different?
Nope
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC?
Nothing much. Our dating anniversary is Saturday and DH has something good planned for us :-)
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Not now.
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC?
We try to hit EOD but with it being busy time at DHs work, we don't get lucky that often. Lol
I take a PNV and try to keep my lifestyle healthy.
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates?
I would give it a try for our LO, I am very awkward and not good with social situations though.

Cycle day 5 for me....will be arranging for testing next month when my insurance covers it, but for now, hopfully will have some luck this time around (although not counting on it since every other month has been a wash).
Wishing everyone here lots of luck this month

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? TTA (2 post-D&C)
Where are you in your cycle? CD28, 7DPO
Any plans for testing? No
Have you done anything different? No
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Good - my betas dropped to zero last week which means I'm in a good position to negotiate with my cancer GYN about starting to TTC again early in 2014. Ideally I would like to it kick off during our trip to Mexico at the end of January.
Bad - My SIL posts about her pregnancy on FB every.single.day. Either a bump shot, or a complaint about morning sickness or how amazing her Snoogle is. It was annoying the first time she was pregnant, but this time I'm finding it very difficult to see every time I go on because I am extra sensitive this time. I'm tempted to block her but I like when I see pics of my niece. I'm tempted to talk to her, but I don't want to make it awkward or take away from her experience. I feel like blocking her saves me but won't hurt her.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?Not really.
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? We usually do it reverse cowgirl...is that what you mean :>
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? Sure. There is a free strollercize in my city I will probably join that runs from May-Oct that seems fun.

Where are you in your cycle? CD 35
Any plans for testing? Saturday, but I'm not hopeful.
Have you done anything different? No.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Eh, I haven't thought about it lately. I've been busy with grad school lately, and I'm almost done with the semester, so that's nice.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope. After AF comes, we will be moving on to Clomid after an HSG and SA, as I've been diagnosed with ovulation issues.
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? I take a PNV, check CM, and use OPKs.
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? I might check it out.
I am new to this board and do just beginning to think about TTC, so I am don't too familiar with all of the lingo yet
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? Just in the discussion phase of when to start.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC?/ Thoughts, questions, concerns? I have had problems over the last 5 years with abnormal pap test results, and I may have to go in for a day procedure. This can cause some difficulty with carrying to full term, and I'm worried whether or not to try getting pregnant before or after the procedure.
Any advice or has anyone dealt with this before?
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? Going to start to take vitamins and get on a good work out/ eating schedule.
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? Anyone in Toronto
@sewilson33 and @abt8113 -- I hope your 2ww's end with excellent surprises!
@blueeyedblossom -- Happy Anniversary on Saturday! I hope you and your H have a great time!
@R.Wilsonny -- I hope you get a surprise this cycle and won't need to start testing next cycle!
@lindsayandjamie -- End of January? That's like, right around the corner! I hope you enjoy your vacation and that cycle brings you luck!
@transponster -- woohoo! semester is almost over! do you get any sort of winter break in grad school?
@leahsandhu -- welcome to the board! If you haven't already, post an intro and introduce yourself! There are many women here who aren't TTC yet or TTA (trying to avoid) for other reasons. I'm assuming you're talking about the LEEP procedure when you say that there may cause trouble carrying to term? My anecdotal response is that I have a friend who had a LEEP done and she had to get a cerclage placed early in her pregnancies. I'm not sure if this was done as a preemptive measure or if she had any sort of cervical shortening beforehand. But anyways, 4 kids later, having the LEEP done didn't really affect her too much. Granted, everyone is different; definitely bring it up to your doctor. Good luck!
Sooooo anyways, I'm sorry I've been so scarce around here lately. Work has just been CRAY and I don't get much of a chance anymore to just dick around the internet during the day. Stupid work. ::shakes fist::
Anyways, I got nothing to report on the TTC front. H is finally back on his regular (but still overnight) schedule so maybe we can do the sex on a more regular basis now. Or more than not at all. That'd be good. So I'm really just chilling here rooting for all you guys!! ::shakes pom poms::
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 4 months, this will be the 3rd cycle
Where are you in your cycle? CD4
Any plans for testing? Not yet, but in a week will probably start OPKs
Have you done anything different? I got much better about temping last month (while we had to TTA for a month) and got crosshairs on my chart! I was so erratic with temping before that I hadn't gotten them.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Just excited to be TTC again this month after sitting one out.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? Temping now, PNV, will start OPKs this month
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? I wouldn't search one out but if I was invited to one, I'd consider joining.
my read shelf:
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? I got good news from my RA doctor. My SED rate (which is what they look at to see how inflammed your joints are) dropped to almost normal, meaning the meds are working wonders. My doc said that I have a high chance of going into remission because we caught it so early and are aggressively treating it. I'm staying on the same dosage through May when he'll lower it. He said that over the next year to year and a half he'll wean me off the meds. I told DH and he was super happy (which could mean we start TTC sooner).
Thoughts, questions, concerns? I have to admit, I'm pretty nervous about this coming Tuesday. I'm not one for pain...and I've read about what I should expect, but that doesn't stop my mind from thinking about the worst that could happen.
QOTD: What methods and such do you take when TTC? N/A
CBHQ: Would you join a mommy and me group so that you could meet other Moms in your area and have playdates? I think I would. Right now, I don't really know anyone outside of the family and a few friends (that live too far away to see frequently). DH & I keep talking about finding a group of young couples, but that's easier said than done.
