Re: TTC Check-in!
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? Soon to be cycle 8.
Where are you in your cycle? 14DPO, AF should be here tomorrow.
Any plans for testing? Newp.
Have you done anything different? Not really, just the usual.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? I have a FFC of sorts; maybe like 2 days ago, after my first stark white BFN at (admittedly early) 10DPO, I had a BFP dream and then the whole following day my boobs were SO TENDER. Usually I get nothing so it was definitely different. So obviously, my mind went right to OMG I'm TOTES PREGS! and then the rest of the day I was in a PANIC like OMG I'm pregnant what am I doing, I just ruined EVERYTHING DRAMAQUEEN-time. The second BFN yesterday helped squash those weird feelings of sheer terror and after the temp drop this morning, now I just feel silly. lol. I should have known better.
Also, I have a GYN appointment in April, which just so happens to be right at the tail end of my suspected FW. -_- But I think that's ok, considering the little irrational freakout I just had the other day. :-P
Thoughts, questions, concerns? nope.

H and I are going to NYC for a weekend in April. We're hopefully going to have a fun filled weekend in the city that never sleeps. Besides that, nothing is planned, but that can change.
No CBHQ, because I can't think of one. I suck.
@callitcompulsive - dreams can totally mess with your head! I feel your pain.
How many months/cycles have you been TTC? 9 months
Where are you in your cycle? 5dpo
Any plans for testing? Not until next weekend if AF stays away
Have you done anything different? Chilled out. I'm just trying to not obsess or worry. If it happens this cycle great, if not, it's ok.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? House is on the market and we have had 10 showings in less than a week which is great. No offers yet which is not great. Two potential 2nd showings on the horizon so hopefully an offer comes our way soon.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? nope
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share? Our life is kind of on hold while we sell. We don't own another house, so our vacations really depend on closing dates etc. We are thinking about getting away for a weekend trip to Vegas in July.

Have you done anything different? Nope
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? DH is really irritating me with his SA. He has everything he needs to go get it done but he hasn't even sat down to read the paperwork that came for it. I was so happy when he took the initiative and made the appointment to go see a urologist without me even asking but now he is dragging his feet on the whole thing. I understand he is probably nervous but he just keeps pushing it off now.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? Nope
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share? We are going to spend a weekend in Frankenmuth, Michigan for our one year anniversay.
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid

Where are you in your cycle? Cd 6
Any plans for testing? Nope
Have you done anything different? Nope
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC?Nothing too much happening here. TTC: I'm just hoping my emotions don't go over board with this cycle like they did in the last one. I think both DH and I had too much hope for last cycle that the bfn hit harder than usual. Plus having bfp dreams for the first time ever definitely didn't help any.
Life: the weather is finally warming up and the snow is almost completely gone in the valleys so hoping to finally get to ride my horse again as he is going stir crazy. Warming weather also means we'll be able to go hiking again but that's still probably around 2 months away.

I'll be going home to Minnesota in May for my baby sister's wedding. We're also hoping to go out there at the end of August too since we both love going to the state fair. We may go down to Denver when Frontier starts flying out of here and go see my cousin's new brewery. Maybe a day trip to Glacier this summer either with DH or my best friend.
Where are you in your cycle? CD 37?
Any plans for testing? Took a HPT this am - Negative - So we're chalking late AF up to irregularities or adjusting off the IUD. One Dr told me it may take a few months for my cycle "normal" but the NP who took it out said I'd probably resume pretty normally. Since last month was pretty textbook PMS, AF etc. I thought we were good - who knows now. If I still haven't seen AF in a week, I'll take another HPT. Otherwise, we're just going to keep practicing
Have you done anything different? Nada.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? TTC - Just starting to take in all of the information and feeling confused because of all the mixed data/experiences. Who knew it took all of this knowledge/math/temping/scheduling to conceive?! My mom just got mono in HS and it cancelled out her BC pills to get yours truly. I think once my cycle is normal, it'll be easier to process/understand. Life - Going great! Love my job, DH is happy in his job. My mom came to visit last weekend and we had a blast. My ILs are coming up this weekend.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? What are some resources for good information/education? FF FAQs are good - but I'm looking for the bigger picture/more information. I'm willing to splurge on a book if it's really worth it.
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share? Nope. We're going to a few weddings all over New England in August and October but they're strictly get-in and get-out ordeals.
No CBHQ, because I can't think of one. I suck. I don't even know what that is, so you're okay
@cloudymeatballs --FX for you this cycle!
@stephkf -- BFP dreams really mess with your mind! I had my first one ever earlier this week and it was so surreal.
@oohsparkly13 -- I hope your H stops dragging his feet soon. He'll get it done on his time... hopefully that'll be soon?
@lindsayandjamie -- I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get some bites on your house soon!
@starstruckxo - hopefully you get a BFP and not AF soon! A good (detailed) book is Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It is a good read for most women who need lots of info, especially about charting. Some people find it to be too much info. I found more than one copy at my local goodwill, so it may be worth looking at used bookstores or the library.
@oohsparkly13 - remind me why your DH needs a SA already? I'm sorry I can't remember! Hopefully he can pick up his feet and get it done!

15, almost 16. That is getting really close to the 1.5 year mark. Boo.
Cycles- 10, I've had 3 in 2014! 3 cycles for 3 months!! Yay!
Where are you in your cycle?
CD 2 maybe? I've been having spotting/ EXTREMELY LIGHT bleeding the last 2 days, which is abnormal, so I'm confused.
Any plans for testing?
Maybe if my spotting doesn't turn into AF.
Have you done anything different?
I started B6 this cycle, and my endo put me on 50,000 VitD once a month.
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC?
-My birthday is Sunday.
- I spoiled myself with new things for vacation/birthday (and spent less than $100 for pants, a pair of flats, two pairs of flip flops, tights, and two pair of no show socks.)
-I am off work until April 1st!
-We leave for Atlanta/ Gulf Shores/ NOLA tomorrow morning!!
-I have lots of goods today!
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Just wondering what my body is doing. I wish I would have kept temping, my temp was up the day I started spotting.
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share?
See above ^. :-)
My Ovulation Chart
My Ovulation Chart
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
Where are you in your cycle? CD18 / 4dpo (I don't temp so this my best guess)
Any plans for testing? Hoping to hold out until next Friday or Saturday morning which will be 12dpo/13dpo. I doubt I can wait until AF is late. I'm too much of a control freak.
Have you done anything different? It's our first month so absolutely!
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Just phantom symptoms and wishing time would go quicker. TTC is stressful. I thought it would be more fun but the 2WW really messes with your head. On the good side, it's fun to see DH be excited about TTC. He asks me every day how I'm feeling and if I think we could get lucky already. FX of course, but I really need to start telling myself we are out this cycle so I'm not overly disappointmented when (I assume) it's a BFN.
Thoughts, questions, concerns? We got a call today (2 weeks prior to closing) that we may lose our house that we're buying. Apparently because it was a flip, it requires two appraisals. The first came back above purchase price, the second came in today way under purchase price. Either the seller has to come down about $9K or we will walk. Being that they refused to negotiate at all, I'm guessing it will be the second option.
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share? We don't have anything planned right now. We typically do a summer family vacay with my family but the planning hasn't occurred yet so we shall see.
Where are you in your cycle? CD21
Any plans for testing? Not yet
Have you done anything different?
Any goods or bads in life or with TTC? Because this month was our first anniversary, I am for some reason very hopeful this was our month. But who knows.
And DH woke up sick yesterday. Why are men such babies when they are sick?!
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
QOTD: Are you planning any vacations or getaways for this year that you care to share? We were in Sedona 2 weekends ago. And that was planned last minute. So nothing else planned yet.
No CBHQ, because I can't think of one.
