Re: TTC Check In
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 1.5
Where are you in your cycle? CD11- waiting (hoping) to Ovulate
Any plans for testing? I'm doing OPKs once per day. I will do them twice per day once I get fertile CM.
Have you done anything different or plan to? Working on slowly weaning. Going to use pre seed and started drinking green tea.
Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Forecast was for freezing rain, but so far just snow. I'll take it!
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks? I got nothin
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you? Oh this is tough. DH has done plenty of sweet things but we aren't big into grand romantic gestures.
QOTW: How did you meet DH? We met in college through a class we had in common.
To make you feel my love.
Where are you in your cycle? CD11
Any plans for testing? Starting OPK's yesterday and got a positive today. Just keep using them until I get a negative again.
Have you done anything different or plan to? We had DH's SA done, which came back with phenomenal results. I had my meeting with my Dr, had my pelvic u.s today, and will get the results later today or tomorrow. Besides ALL that! Nothing much.
Anything good or bad in life or TTC? I feel soooo relaxed now that we have DH's results. I find myself not thinking about ST and stressing over the what if's and could be's. I think DH and I are in a great spot now.
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks?
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you? Before DH and I even started dating! My 21st Birthday was the 1st day of classes and DH arranged a surprise party for me at my house, the night before so we could celebrate at midnight together. He decorated my whole basement with balloons, food, beer, etc. I had never had a surprise party before and after being driven around blindfolded for 20 mins ended up having the blindfold removed when I walked into a room full of friends screaming Happy Birthday! If that's not a way to show someone you have feelings for them, then I don't know what is! We started officially dating 2 days later. I still look at the pictures from that night and think about how amazingly sweet he was.
QOTW: How did you meet DH? DH and I met randomly when I was a freshman and he was a sophmore, we didn't formally meet but had a common acquaintance. We both never thought we would see each other again.
My Junior year I was going through a rough break up and we met up through our friend for coffee at the beginning of the year. DH and I immediately hit it off but I wasn't ready to jump in at the moment. Instead we started out as friends which turned into a really great friendship and led to marriage. We both can't drink caramel macchiato's without smiling because that was how our relationship started, over a drink.

Where are you in your cycle? CD7
Any plans for testing? Next week, I'll start doing the OPK thing.
Have you done anything different or plan to? I'm thinking about doing OPK's in the am before I leave for work (smu) and/or when I'm home for lunch. I'm hoping to be able to get a better idea of O-time that way. lol
Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Nope, just excited that this is the first month where H is on days and (HOPEFULLY!!!) we can actually hit at least EOD during the expected FW.
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks? ...
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you? Hmmm... is it bad that I cannot think of one thing? LOL. He does a bunch of sweet stuff but nothing over the top "romantic" ... and that's quite alright with me.
QOTW: How did you meet DH? At work.
How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
14/10 I think.
Where are you in your cycle?
CD15. Waiting to O, waiting for this cycle to be over.
Any plans for testing?
Maybe OPKs.
Have you done anything different or plan to?
Added B6 starting CD 1, green tea.
Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
I'm not handling starting the testing process as well as I though I would.
Tuesday my cousin asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Which is odd because we aren't that close and we are not cousins by blood, my cousin married her sister. She's at all our family functions. Anyways, I thought she was waiting until 2015 to get married and they moved it up to June.... Any guesses why?
Yup. Pregnant. Just what I wanted to hear. Completely blindsided me.
Now some good. My husband is AMAZING. He has been awesome with me the last few days. He offered to take off work for my HSG. I couldn't be going through this without him. He makes me happy and keeps me laughing.
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks?
Nope. I'm just looking forward to next cycle already.
Oh. And I hate the TurboTax commercials. ("Did you have a little person last year?")

Any plans for testing? Not this week
Have you done anything different or plan to? I ordered a new thermometer that will store my last temp plus some OPKs.
Anything good or bad in life or TTC? My last cycle was 30 days long so super stoked about that! I'm really hoping my cycles stay in that range going forward!
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks? Not at the moment.
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you? For Valentine's day 2013, my DH really went above and beyond. He sent me a bouquet of flowers to work and on the card it had a time and the address of a spa. He had scheduled me a full body massage. Then, once I got out of the massage, I was getting ready to go out to the car when the receptionist stopped me. She said she had something for me. My DH had given her a letter to give to me. It was such a beautiful letter that it made me cry. Then he drove me out to a new restaurant we wanted to try. It was a wonderful night. Normally, we don't do grand gestures on Valentine's day so it was really a huge surprise!
QOTW: How did you meet DH? We met on an online dating site over 9 years ago.

Thanks! I'm totally expecting them to vary a bit from month to month...I'm just keeping my hopes up that I don't see another 72 day cycle for a long time, lol.

Any plans for testing? Nada
Have you done anything different or plan to? I'll probably start temping next month. If I remember to buy the right thermometer.
Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Annoyed that DH's childhood friend told us they are expecting #2. They always complain about how they can't afford baby #1 and now these two will be 18 months apart. After what happened last month, I cried a little on our way home.
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks?
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you?
He brings me flowers randomly when I least expect it. Otherwise he isn't a super romantic person.
QOTW: How did you meet DH?
Thru my ex. They are also childhood friends. My ex and I stayed friends after we broke up and he set us up. He was also best man in our wedding!
@blueeyedblossom - ugh, I'm so sorry you had to hear that news.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6

Any plans for testing? Nope
Have you done anything different or plan to?
Been trying OPKs
Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
Life: Just spent a week in Vegas and enjoyed the sun; however, we are expecting about a foot of snow with the storm currently hitting us.
TTC: my chart looks horrible since I was sick the first week then we traveled. It is definitely no where near as pretty as last cycle.
Thoughts, questions, concerns, chart stalks?
QOTW: What is the most romantic thing DH has done for you?
He's better at small gestures rather then large ones. It probably sounds lame but its romantic when he'll willingly volunteer to do the late night hay feeding or builds a door for the barn.
QOTW: How did you meet DH?
It was a blind date. When I had decided to move back to Montana, I had set my best friend a challenge to find me a great guy. He worked for her husband and they set us up two months after I moved here.
