Re: TTC Check In!

  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 9/2 (1st one AL)

    Where are you in your cycle? CD 20, waiting to O
     
    Any plans for testing?  Just OPKs, but I think I missed my surge
     
    Have you done anything different or plan to? Just lots of the sex this cycle. I'm also taking my PNV, fish oil, mag, vit D and a probiotic daily. 
     
    Anything good or bad in life or TTC? One of my BFFs just got her BFP on her first cycle TT#2.  It took her a year and an appt with an RE to make #1 so I'm really happy for her.
     
    Thoughts, questions, concerns? I have a weird feeling O will be delayed this month because of the stress we had traveling last week.  My body felt like it was gearing up to O, and then all of sudden my CM changed, and my temp has stayed low.  Now there is more EWCM... I don't know what's going on.
     
    QOTD: Have you seen any movies lately or read any books that you highly recommend?
    I watched Runner Runner with JT on the plane last week which I really enjoyed, and finished the Virgin Cure and the Midwife of Venice. Both excellent. I also read some lady porn but I won't include it because the quality really wasn't very good.

  • How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
    14/9

    Where are you in your cycle?
    CD1 :-(

    Any plans for testing?
    Nope. Well, I will be talking to my OBGYN about getting a script for CD3 testing when I see her on the 18th, and what our next steps are going to be.

    Have you done anything different or plan to?
    I am starting B6 this cycle.

    Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
    Bad- today is CD1, I was supposed to have my yearly pap and reevaluation with my OBGYN today.
    - I found out that Missouri isn't midwife friendly, unless you have a home birth. So I need to make sure whoever I choose as my obgyn will be on board with what I would like.
    Good- I'm looking forward to getting the next steps figured out. Depending on the testing and what not, I may be getting a new obgyn, who is wayyy closer. I think I will like the new obgyn, but I trust my current one and want her opinion before I leave her. (And maybe a referral) the new obgyn has infertility experience which makes me happy.

    Thoughts, questions, concerns?
    Any ideas on what questions I should ask my obgyn when I see her?

    QOTD: Have you seen any movies lately or read any books that you highly recommend?
    I'm sure we have seen a movie or two, but I'm drawing a blank.

    Let's do a FFC or vent: Anything you care to share?
    FFC- I am totally using CD1 to laze around the house and getting R to take me for Chinese tonight. :-)

    Vent- my temp dropped yesterday, with no AF. This morning it was up, but when I went to the bathroom she was here in full force. With HORRENDOUS cramps. I woke up at 3:30, and could not get comfortable until 8, when I was already too awake to go back to sleep. Boo! It was my one day to sleep in this week. :-/
  • @lindsayandjamie - do you have a chart? I once didn't O until CD 21 because of diet changes. The littlest things can throw your body off.
    How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 13 months/13 cycles
     Where are you in your cycle? CD 25 13 DPO
     Any plans for testing? Tomorrow or Saturday
     Have you done anything different or plan to? Not on purpose, my body O'd a few days earlier than usual. We just happen to have ST almost every single for a week during that time.
     Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Bad - Today is 1 week ago that we put my kitty down. Good - Tonight we are going out to dinner with my In Laws for my FIL's bday. He is always in a good mood when all the attention is on him so it should be nice.
     Thoughts, questions, concerns? I am trying to stay positive... be positive, think positive. That's my mantra for the moment.
     QOTD: Have you seen any movies lately or read any books that you highly recommend? I never go to the movies but I rented The Heat not too long ago which was funny. Other than that I read, Butterfly Weeds still makes me giddy to think about. 
    I just started Eleanor and Park.
     Let's do a FFC or vent: Anything you care to share?
    There was a bottle of seltzer in my office fridge and I can't remember if I bought one a while ago or if it is one of the guys that works up front. I took it... Mine now!

  • @blueeyedblossom - Can you call your OBGYN and ask them to fax your a script for CD3 bloodwork? That way you can get it done this weekend and have the results by the time you have your visit? 
    I'm sorry AF showed at all! She's a nasty biotch!

    CD3 will be on Sunday, and the Quests around here aren't open. I'm ok with waiting until I see her on the 18th to get the script, and getting it done next cycle. I would like to have the full testing plan before I start any of it. It may be something I start when I switch OBs, depending on what my current one says.

    It's odd, as much as we want children, I'm not in as much of a rush anymore. I feel like it's one of the only things that is keeping me sane. Does that make any sense?

    As long as you find a plan you are happy with and comfortable with that is all that matters. 
    I think the stress and realization of TTC and how difficult it can be can make someone feel the way you are feeling. Especially since you don't have any definite answers yet.

  • Another vent- I just picked up my kindle to do some relaxing reading.
    What is the advertisement on the screen saver?
    A pampers ad- "wrap your newborn on comfort and protection so all she feels is love." With a pic of a mom holding an itty bitty baby.
    F*** You pampers and kindle!!
  • @blueeyedblossom -- sorry about CD1. I hope you enjoy your chinese food tonight!
    @sewilson33 -- I am SOOO hopeful for you this cycle!! aaackkk!!!
    @lindsayandjamie -- FX that another surge comes around!

     How many months/cycles have you been TTC? c'mon lucky #6!!
     Where are you in your cycle? 8DPO... and the 2ww crazies are setting in full force.
     Any plans for testing? I'm telling myself not til Wednesday (when AF is due.) but who are we kidding, I'll probably start peeing on things this weekend. LOL
     Have you done anything different or plan to?  Nope
     Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Eh, I'm getting over a cold... it's nice having H working days again (albeit long days... I'll take what I can get. At least I can see him in the morning and at night.) ... just made an appointment for Eastwood to get his teeth cleaned since it's national pet dental health month (20% off!! Score!) you know, little same shit different day stuff. Nothing too exciting.
     Thoughts, questions, concerns? I had hiccups twice today. Surely that means I'm KU, right? (Joking. See second answer.) No thoughts, questions or concerns.
     QOTD: Have you seen any movies lately or read any books that you highly recommend? No and No. There are a few movies that look interesting, but I have zero interest setting aside a time and going out to see it. I'll catch it on demand if I'm still interested. lol. I'm really not much of a reader, either. I really don't have the attention span for that. Like, I'll sit down to read and get sidetracked by something completely random that I forgot to take care of earlier. Or I'll fall asleep. Either or.
     Let's do a FFC or vent: Anything you care to share? I don't know! I really don't have anything to vent about. Or a confession that is even remotely good.
  • @blueeyedblossom - wouldn't CD3 be Sat if today is CD1?  You could still do it if there is a Sat lab...

    @sewilson33 - I do have a chart but I haven't had any luck putting it in my sig.  Tips please!  I'll try to link it later when I'm home.

  • @lindsayandjamie, you are correct. Thank you. Haha I'm not very good at math, obviously ;-)
    I'm still ok with waiting though.
  •  How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 4/3

     Where are you in your cycle? Cd 3

     Any plans for testing? Nope

     Have you done anything different or plan to? Plan on trying OPKs to hopefully end up with better timing this month in case FF messes with me again

     Anything good or bad in life or TTC? 
    Good: Its my 30th birthday today so I get dinner out tonight and might try to convince DH that we need to buy candles and a normal sized cake on the way home haha
    Bad: I'm 30? Just kidding...probably the wind chills this week, poor Vegas (horse) had frosted nostrils/muzzle and eye lashes this morning. Z (the dog, short for Zeke) loves the snow and cold. It takes forever to convince him to come in the house.

     Thoughts, questions, concerns? 

     QOTD: Have you seen any movies lately or read any books that you highly recommend? 
    Haven't seen anything in the theater in a long time. We rented some movies last weekend and Man of Steel wasn't bad.
    As for books, I can't think of any at the moment. I usually download anything free on my Nook so sometimes I get something good, other times they're not so great.

     Let's do a FFC or vent: Anything you care to share?
    1) Even though I'm excited to go on vacation, I know I'm going to have mild anxiety during the whole trip because someone else is watching Z and Vegas. Its one of DH's friends and he's watched Z before but I will still worry.
    2) I've been enjoying having DH drive us into town this week and a half. I've been using the excuse of weather since he has a truck (doesn't hurt that the landlords plowed my car in); however, I grew up and lived in Minnesota most my life and am perfectly able to drive in it. It had just been nice to relax after morning chores for once.

    Pregnancy Ticker
  • Happy Birthday @stephkf -- hope you have a great day!

    @lindsayandjamie -- to get your code for a ticker, from your chart  homepage, click on "Sharing" on the bar across the top, it's towards the right of the screen. Then under the "Charting Home Page" header, click on graphical tickers, and that'll take you to where you can customize a ticker! Click through and use the HTML code (I'm pretty sure....it's been a while. I really should update my siggy. Meh.) and then copy that into your signature for here, and voila!

    Also... it took me a couple tries to get mine right-- as in, ticker in siggy, ticker linked to chart, etc. SO if the above only gives you your ticker and no link, all you have to do is from the nest siggy page, highlight the code you entered for the ticker and click the create hyperlink button and enter the homepage address to your chart. To get this, it's pretty much the same, Sharing/Charting Home Page/ but this time, click GET CODE instead of graphical tickers. Your chart's web address should be the very first address listed on this page.

    It also helps a great deal to have a couple tabs open, lol. Changing my sig is always a 3 tab affair. I hope this helps! :)
  • Happy Birthday @fembrist!! I hope you guys can come up with a good game plan to move on when you get to your follow up appointment!
