TTC Check In

Sewilson33 · January 2014

This is going to be an annoying Check In since none of us have photo ID's!

How many months/cycles have you been TTC?

Where are you in your cycle?

Any plans for testing?

Have you done anything different or plan to?

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC?

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words...

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby?

How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
13/8

Where are you in your cycle?
CD9

Any plans for testing?
Nope. Nothing's happening this early.

Have you done anything different or plan to?
Nope.

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC?
Between AF and illness it has been 2 weeks since we have DTD. I am having sex dreams, it's getting bad. But I am holding out until DH initiates, I'm tired of being the one who gets things going all the time.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words...
*caring
*loyal
*patient
*hard working (at work)
*an awesome wife :-)

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby?

Maybe a few weeks, we don't go out much, but I know it will be important for us to have some alone time together.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 12th month/8th cycle

Where are you in your cycle? CD18

Any plans for testing? Just OPK's

Have you done anything different or plan to? Femara round two. Hoping I'll O again. I think I may be devestated if I don't. But not yet. Last cycle O was CD21, so maybe in the next week we'll know?

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC? Tomorrow is Friday so that's good! I can't wait for it to not be freezing this weekend as well.

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Meh. FX that I O is all!

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words... I'm not good at these things. I'm too self conscious and always name negatives. So instead, I give you 5 random words: banana, smith, red, vanilla, tamale

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby? No idea. Maybe a month or something? This question is too hard!

Sewilson33 · January 2014

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 13 MONTHS/13 cycles

Where are you in your cycle? CD27 DPO 12

Any plans for testing? Not unless AF doesn't come by Sunday.
Edit - I'm not feeling any good signs that AF will be staying away this month though, crampy, moodly, sore boobs, you name it...

Have you done anything different or plan to? I've been mainly vaginally temping, used preseed, other than that my head has just been in a foggy sad cloud when it comes to hoping so I keep trying not to think about it.

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC? I keep having these dreams that other people are going to announce their PG to me and every single time I run off without thinking and cry. It's an awful feeling to not be happy for someone so close to me but I just can't bring myself to stay in the room.
Goods- We are buying my closet supplies tonight after work and should be installing it tonight or tomorrow!!

Thoughts, questions, concerns? My Sister told me months ago that starting January 2014 her and her husband were going to start TTC #2. She hasn't mentioned anything about it yet and I'm nervous to bring it up.

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words... Sensitive, outgoing, sarcastic, compassionate, laid back.

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby? I think I would not be able to be leave them until they are at least 5 weeks old and at that point it would only be for a couple hours.

@islandmonkey8, FX for some positive OPKs in a few more days! You've GOT to O on the Femara again; you're not allowed not to!

@Sewilson33, hoping so hard there's a BFP coming for you this weekend. GL!

Sewilson33 · January 2014

@blueeyedblossom - hope you are feeling better!

@islandmonkey8 - fx that you O!!!! And I love your 5 random words haha

arj14 · January 2014

How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
5th or 6th... I think somewhere I lost track of how many cycles I've had and I've been putting the wrong number. I think the 5th is more accurate.

Where are you in your cycle?
CD4

Any plans for testing?
Nope

Have you done anything different or plan to?
Going to start temping for this cycle tomorrow! Also, again with trying to use OPKs

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC?
My new second job isn't scheduling me much, which has me worried. Also, I'm disappointed about my performance at my interview yesterday

Thoughts, questions, concerns?
I'm not really sure when I O and this will be my first cycle really temping. When would you start using OPKs? Also, should I be doing using them with FMU, or is later in the day ok?

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words...
Introverted
Big-hearted / loving
Silly
Nerdy
Curious

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby?
That is a tough question. I really can't imagine.

blueeyedblossom · January 2014

Oh. I forgot to add- my Thermometer battery died the other day too, so I haven't been able to start temping this cycle yet.

@Sewilson33- it was just like a 12 hour bug luckily, we are both much better! Thanks! Although I think DH is getting a cold now. :-(

LuckyAngel07 · January 2014

@arj14, do you know how long your cycles have been so far? Are they fairly regular? (I'm sorry, I can't remember).

If you have somewhat typical-length cycles 27-30(ish) days, you can probably start using OPKs around CD10. This is where temping will help pinpoint O as well.

I always only used FMU with my OPKs, and it worked fine for me. I also have no other time during the week that I could check it, so FMU was really my only option (I wasn't about to deal with a pee cup and waiting around for 5 minutes to check the stick in a stall in the bathroom at work). I also tend to pee a lot during the day (I drink a lot of water), so my FMU was the only time it was concentrated enough.

If you really want to, you can try testing once in the morning and again in the afternoon if your OPKs start looking really close to positive; that way you can catch your surge, which may be short (but you won't really know until you start testing!). GL!

PandPMeant2B · January 2014

@islandmonkey8 - FX you O soon! Also, your random words made me giggle.

@Sewilson33 - FX AF stays away and you get your BFP!

Totally unrelated, the whole avatar thing is super annoying, but I'm glad it's avatars and not siggys because @arj14 's makes me smile every time.

Cycle length had been typical until last cycle, when I got to CD47. I'm hoping that was a one-off random thing, but of course no way of knowing for sure yet.

Thank you for all the advice!! I think I've seen some people write on here that they had been told NOT to use FMU, which is why I was questioning.

mrsvedo · January 2014

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 4/3

Where are you in your cycle? CD 5

Any plans for testing? Nope

Have you done anything different or plan to? I say this every cycle and then forget but I really, really am going to start OPKs this cycle. I've had them for 2-3 months and they haven't been used yet because I kept forgetting about them.

Any goods or bads in regards to life or TTC? Not in particular.

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nada

QOTD: GTKY: Describe yourself in 5 words... Nerdy, Loving, Intelligent, Approachable, Ambitious

CBHQ: How long do you think you will wait before you and DH go on your first date night away from baby? I have absolutely no idea.

I hear ya on always having to initiate. So annoying

Sewilson33 · January 2014

@fembrist I am so sorry you have been having such a difficult time with doctors. I'm glad you found one that is at least trying to help you. @blueeyedblossom I feel like I'm always initiating too!
