Re: TTC Check In
Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO) CD24
Any plans for testing? Taking OPKs right now, hoping Clomid will make me O. I have an US tomorrow morning. Haven't gotten a positive OPK yet.
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? I took my first round of Clomid this cycle and started it later than "normal". I'll have a better idea of what our next steps are at tomorrows US.
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general? nope
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns? nope
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH? His honesty, patience, sense of humor.
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please... I think we will definitely make it gender specific. I have a ton of ideas pinned! For a girl, I'm really liking coral, a lighter teal and gray color scheme. For a boy, I really like yellow, a lighter teal and gray color scheme.
Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO) CD30 14DPO
Any plans for testing? If AF doesn't come by tonight or tomorrow AM then I have to test tomorrow AM because I have a party to go to.
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? We used preseed, I couldn't really temp well because I started sleeping with my mouth open. Next cycle I would start vaginal temping to be more exact.
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general? I really thought that my spotting was going to bring AF on by now, usually it gets heavier each day but today it is barely there... I feel like an idiot now because I was convinced this cycle was over yet I'm still here...
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns? nope
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH?
He is so creative, handy, sweet, emotional, and amazing with kids.
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please...
Our spare bedrooms are being painted a light blue/gray and I want to do a nautical theme for either gender. I guess that can lean more toward a boys room but I would throw in some pinks and purples if it's a girl. I wouldn't be able to control myself from trying to make it a little girly.

Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO) Today is supposed to be day one of my period, but no sign of AF yet.
Any plans for testing? Took a HPT on Monday that was BFN, will test again if no sign of AF by Sunday
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? I am considering temping next cycle, but I am pretty clueless. I signed up for fertilityfriend.com and am intimidated by it. Seems like a science project and I suck at science!
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general? We have had a lot of bad medical news in our family recently and I'd love some good news soon!
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns? What kind of thermometer should I buy for temping and is it best/more effective to do orally or vaginally?
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH? He is a caretaker, always positive and smiling (sometimes in an annoying way!), loves my family and always tries to keep me happy
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please... I have always wanted a nursery with an ice cream theme, which would include LOTS of colors, so nothing specifically related to their gender.
My best advice for temping is to set an alarm for a time before your normal alarm would go off. For instance my alarm is set for 6:30 for every single day to temp, I normally wake up at 7 for work. I keep my thermometer on my night stand and pop it in 15 seconds later it beeps and I just remember my temp and log it into FF when I'm drinking my coffee.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 2/2
Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO) CD14-According to FF I'm in the predicted fertile time. But since I'm not temping, it's just going off of my last cycle.
Any plans for testing? nope
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? No, I might start temping next cycle.
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general? Not so far
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns? Nope
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH? He will do anything to make me laugh!
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please... I have always wanted the gender to be a surprise. But now that we are TTC I'm not sure I could wait that long. I would do gender neutral anyways though. I'm obsessed with pale yellow and gray!

His sense of humor, how patient and caring he is.

For a boy I think we will go with a woodsy/hunting theme and I have no idea for a girl.

I've always liked gender neutral stuff. Who knows. I haven't really given it much thought.
@ystaalenberg - good luck with clomid and your u/s!
@sewilson33 - fingers crossed for a bfp!
@kjlr2012 - I found Taking Charge of Your Fertility really explained temping to me and is a great resource I use to refer to often. Totally worth the investment. I also agree with everything @sewilson33 said.
@bremae - enjoy BIO this weekend!
@islandmonkey8 - I really hope this cycle isn't a bust for you, but if it is, I'm glad you have a plan for January.
@blueeyedblossom - so happy the hear the pneumonia is gone! I had it many years ago and ended up in the hospital so I always worry for people when they get diagnosed. Healthy holidays to you!
@callitcompulsive - wishing you lots of sexy dust!
@fembrist - Any plans to talk to your doc about provera or are you going to ride out this cycle?
TTC#1 July 2010 PCOS dx April 2011 DS born: February 21, 2012
TTC#2 June 2013 MMC Sept 2013 (partial molar), CP 02/2014 DS2 born: December 5, 2014
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? TTA since partial molar
Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO): CD35, 15DPO (but I'm not sure this is accurate since I'm expecting AF today and really don't feel it)
Any plans for testing? I guess if I don't get AF by the Sunday I'll test but we have been using condoms so that would be a very surprising BFP and I'm sure I would get in shit by my specialist. I'm supposed to go for my monthly HCG test next week so we'll see what happens there. Maybe I didn't actually O when FF thinks I did.
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? Nope.
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general?
Bad - I seemed to have developed a cold.
Good - 12 days till Xmas and a few days off! Also, we have decided to list our house to sell in February and start house hunting in the new year!
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns?
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH?
His sense of humour and ability to make me laugh is number one for me. I also appreciate his ability to stay calm in stressful situations, his leadership qualities, his approachabilitIy and likeaIbility, and his kind generous nature.
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please..I'd like to be team green next time, so I think I would do a light grey room, white furniture and drapery, and accent it after the birth with coral if it came out a girl, and navy if it came out a boy.

@sewilson33 OMG! Retest! Retest! Fingers crossed for you!
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 13mos/13cycles
Where are you in your cycle? (CD/DPO) CD24/11DPO
Any plans for testing? Middle of next week if AF doesn't come before then. Our timing was good, but then again it has been the last few months. I'm kind of MEH as to my hopes right now.
Have you done anything different this cycle or plan to next cycle? We will be calling my OB/GYN about the next steps if AF comes next week. I really hope it doesn't come to this since everything will be OOP, but DH and I are okay with whatever happens.
Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC in general? Being sick was no fun. My temp when I first woke up this morning was 100, so I didn't enter it into FF.
Thoughts, Questions, Concerns? Any thoughts on the next step, calling my OB/GYN (according to her website she specializes in IF) or should I go to a RE? Since everything is OOP, I'm confused.
QOTD(Question of the day): What are some of your favorite personality traits about DH? He is very sweet and kind. I love seeing him play with our friends' children; he is too cute!
CBHQ (Cart Before Horse Question aka baby related): Would you decorate your baby's nursery in a gender specific theme or would you stick to neutrals? Explain with some details if you please...
I would do something gender specific, but I have no idea what! My "baby" pinterest board is all over the place! Since we don't plan on being where we are for baby #2, I will do something specific for baby #1.
