TTC Check In

Sewilson33 · March 2014

Good Afternoon Ladies!

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?

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?

****I think I am going to have to pass my responsibilities off to someone else in the TTC group... Unfortunately, if this cycle doesn't work I will be moving onto the TTTC thread. I hope someone one on this thread is willing to take it over for me after this week.***

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 15 months/15 cycles

Where are you in your cycle? CD25 DPO 8 (supposedly, I really have no clue)

Any plans for testing? I might bite the bullet and test sometimes this weekend just to see since I have no clue when AF is really due.

Have you done anything different or plan to? My whole damn cycle is screwy! I am doing the HSG at the beginning of next cycle and my GYNO wants me to move onto an RE if this cycle doesn't work.

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
Bad: I have no idea why I am spotting for so many days... It is very little but it is still there and it is like the ugly pink elephant in the room that I don't know what to do with.
Good: My SIL asked DH and I to babysit out 2 nephews in 3 weeks for a whole day/night. I'm super excited. I'm also leaving for vacation in 12 days!

Thoughts, questions, concerns? See my separate post.

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?
He leaves his dirty clothes EVERYWHERE but in the laundry basket
He is the worst cuddler when he is awake bc all he wants to do is touch my boobs instead of lay still.
He starts a new home project and takes months to finish it when it should take a week.
He would probably say about me:
I forget to switch the laundry before I go to bed
I get defensive very fast
I bite my nails

@sewilson, I'm hoping so hard you don't need to move over, but I understand why you would want to:( I'm not really up for taking over the lead, but hopefully someone will volunteer.

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

Where are you in your cycle? CD9 (AL)

Any plans for testing? I need to do another beta to confirm it has stayed at zero after this most recent loss. Apparently I'll always be at risk of developing GTD after any pregnancy. Awesome. Not planning on using OPKs this month, just temping.

Have you done anything different or plan to? No

Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Good - listing the house for sale on monday after months/years of hard work Bad - Listing the house makes me nostalgic and a bit sad.

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Not really.

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you? Him - he can be really messy and leaves stuff laying around like clothes, pop cans, his coffee mug. I am slowly teaching him to put his own shit away. I'm constantly finding hoodies stuffed behind the couch cushions. Why?!

Me - I splatter toothpaste when I brush, I mix up the lids and the coffee mugs so they don't match and he has a silver mug with a blue lid (for some reason it drives him batty), and I can be especially noisy when I'm trying to be quiet. I can't help it, I'm clutzy.

How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
15/ 9
Where are you in your cycle?
CD29, FF gave me CH's, then took them away, and then gave them back and then took them away again this morning. They were solid and O day was always the same.
Any plans for testing?
I guess I am back to using opks.

Have you done anything different or plan to?
B6, I found out today that my Vitamin D levels are a little low, so my doctor has started me on VItamin D once a month @ 50,000. Maybe that will help too?

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
My endocrinologist said I can now move to yearly appointments, unless(until) I get pregnant. I am to call him ASAP (as soon as pregnant. haha)

Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Can I get a chartstalk from someone?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?

He would say that I am stubborn to the core sometimes. I'm not as tidy as he is, and I think that might annoy him.

Sewilson33 · March 2014

@Blueeyedblossom - do you have an OPK you can test on today? The temp dropped so low that I think FF is assuming you might O soon instead of you already did. I would pee on an OPK just to see.

blueeyedblossom · March 2014

I did this morning. It wasn't very dark, I plan on doing another here in a bit.

lindsayandjamie · March 2014

@Blueeyedblossom I would tend to agree with sewilson. The drop makes me wonder if you are about to O, especially consiering you tend to O around cd30ish based on history. Did you use an OPK yesterday?

No I worked yesterday and because of my hours I don't use OPKs on work days unless they are half days.

Good luck!!

arj14 · March 2014

How many months/cycles have you been TTC?
Cycle 5 / Month 7

Where are you in your cycle?
CD60

Any plans for testing?
Nope

Have you done anything different or plan to?
I've stopped temping for now even though I don't think I've O'd. I was getting frustrated.

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?
I called up my ob today due to it being CD60, and was told they won't do anything until CD90. So it looks like I've got another month to wait out. I haven't decided if I'm going to temp during this time or not. Feeling a bit defeated and sad.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?

DH's for me: my stubbornness to admit defeat in the face of him being correct about something that I was reluctant about or resisting.
Mine for DH: His messiness and resistance to chores / cleaning up.

lindsayandjamie · March 2014

@arj14 - I'm sorry you feel sad. To give you a little hope, I got my first bfp on cd 99. I O'd on cd 87. That was only my third cycle in the previous year. Long cycles don't mean you won't ever O, it just unfortunetly gives you fewer kicks at the can.

callitcompulsive · March 2014

:::raises hand::: I'll take over if ya want me to. I suck at QOTW's though. Heads up everyone. :-P

@sewilson33, I'm sorry your cycle is being screwy. I really hope this unusual cycle means it ends unusually with an excellent surprise

@blueeyedblossom -- I hope FF gives you CH's back. I hope you get a +OPK soon!
@arj14 -- I'm sorry you're feeling down... I really don't have anything helpful to add.

I just don't like feeling defeated

(hugs)
@lindsayandjamie -- I hope your betas cooperate so you can move forward. I'm so sorry you're in this boat in the first place. GL selling your house!

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? lucky #7

Where are you in your cycle? CD21?

Any plans for testing? +OPK this morning and yesterday morning!! I even got a smiley!

Have you done anything different or plan to? Nope.

Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Well, it turns out the store that H was passed on to manage (as in, they chose someone other than him.) is in the shitter--big time-- so guess who they called on to go in and help clean it up? My wonderful H. If they would have just given it to him in the first place....hmmm. whatever. At least that means he gets to work better hours and I'll see him a little more than usual next week. :sigh:

Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope.

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you? His biggest complaint about me would most likely be all of my Type-A-ness (lol, anus) and mine of him is his Type-B-ness. Opposites attract? lol

Sewilson33 · March 2014

@callitcompulsive - thank you!! It is so hard for me to imagine that I am giving up this role but I have been doing this thread since January 2013.
On another note, I'm so happy you got a smiley!!!

OohSparkly13 · March 2014

How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 3/2

Where are you in your cycle? CD20

Any plans for testing? I've been using OPKs this cycle and trying my best to temp. Its not going super well.

Have you done anything different or plan to? Just going to keep trying to get into the habit of taking my temp at the same time every day.

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?

Good: DH saw the urologist. They sent him home with 3 sample cups for the SA and said they will be sending instructions and information in the mail for him to read over. After he gets the instructions, he just needs to get the sample to the lab within a certain time frame.
Bad: I have been really frustrated with the fact that my body doesn't do what so many other women's bodies do naturally so I have been having a lot of "I hate my body...it's a stupid shithead." moments recently.

Thoughts, questions, concerns? What kind of OPKs do you ladies use?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?

Mine:
He doesn't clean up the sink and counter after he trims his beard.
His:
I always leave my make-up out in the bathroom. It never goes back in my make-up bag.

Clearly, we both need to work on our bathroom counter etiquette, lol.

I will certainly have big shoes to fill

And, me too!! I haven't gotten a smiley since Xmas! Clearly I get waaaay too excited about this nonsense. :-p

BreMae · March 2014

5/5

Where are you in your cycle?
CD6

Any plans for testing?
Nada

Have you done anything different or plan to?
I was going to start temping but never remember to buy a thermometer.

Anything good or bad in life or TTC?

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH?
Anytime I say something he says "what?" Whether or not he heard me. And he doesn't close kitchen cabinets after getting something out.

It's funny, our local radio station talked about this this morning ha

What do you think he would say about you?
That I don't put away my makeup and hair stuff every morning

callitcompulsive · March 2014

@oohsparkly13 -- to answer your question; I have wondfo opks and this brand called babi that I ordered off amazon. The second brand doesn't really give a good fade in pattern as you get closer to O like the wondfos can. But they were cheap and they do work (for me). Also if there's any question wrt line darkness I have a box if the CBE digis that I use very sparingly--they're not so cheap lol. Good luck to your H for his SA, and (hugs) your body is not a stupid shithead.

@bremae I think I remember someone else posting about their Hs not closing kitchen cabinets. Whyyyy?? That'd drive me batty too!! Jeez!

OohSparkly13 · March 2014

@callitcompulsive Thank you

callitcompulsive · March 2014

@sewilson33 would you like me to start this thread next Thursday?

Sewilson33 · March 2014

@callitcompulsive - yes please! Thank you!

stephkf · March 2014

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

Where are you in your cycle? Cd 32

Any plans for testing? Maybe

Have you done anything different or plan to?
Tried OPKs but haven't gotten into the habit yet. I missed a few days plus was only using FMU instead of multiple times a day

Anything good or bad in life or TTC? Just happy that it is warming up again and melting all this snow though I could do without the slush.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

QOTD: What are your biggest pet peeves about DH? What do you think he would say about you?
Him about me: I can get obsessive about random things

Me about him: he has a short attention span
