**TTC Check - In**

iiiiiiit's Thursday!!!
You all know what that means!


Where are you at in your TTC Journey? (Cycle/Month)

Any testing in the upcoming week?

Anything good or bad going on? (TTC-related or not)

Any FFC's/AW's/UO's?

QOTW: What is your favorite meal? Do you think you could or would get tired of eating said meal if you had to eat it for an extended amount of time?

Re: **TTC Check - In**


  • Where are you at in your TTC Journey? (Cycle/Month) CD 14/Cycle 8 ... just twiddling my thumbs, waiting to O

    Any testing in the upcoming week? doing the OPK thing... currently holding my pee so I can test when I get home for lunch, lol. 45 more minutes. I can do this!!! lol

    Anything good or bad going on? (TTC-related or not)  I have a dumb question regarding my gyn appointment on Monday-- I know you're not supposed to have sex before a pap, but what is the time frame here? 24 hours? 48 hours? Or is it just a matter of preference? H is going to be away pretty much all this weekend anyway, so that should be good enough for a Monday afternoon appointment, right? Ack, who's bright idea was it to schedule my annual appointment during the FW? :-P

    Any FFC's/AW's/UO's? umm, not really.

    QOTW: What is your favorite meal? Do you think you could or would get tired of eating said meal if you had to eat it for an extended amount of time? My favorite meal is Shepherd's Pie, and I'm pretty sure I could eat it for the rest of my life. Mmmmm

    24 is the minimum usually. But as long as you let your doctor know, they can take that into account when they get the results. - This is what I was told when my IUI/DTD after IUI was the day before my PAP last month.

  • Where are you at in your TTC Journey? (Cycle/Month) 4/5

    Any testing in the upcoming week? Nope may take another opk tonight as the one yesterday looked positive but I looked at it late since I dipped it in the middle of cooking dinner.

    Anything good or bad going on? (TTC-related or not)
    Life:
    Bad - we had new neighbors move in on Tuesday and they brought their 3 mares with that have been in a small pen all winter. Vegas wanted to play and they wanted to flirt which resulted in him ripping open his leg where it meets his chest on their fence. We ended up having to call the vet out and Vegas got moved to the other pasture that he is fenced off from going near flirting mares. Thankfully the vet said it should be fine without stitches since stitches would have equaled stall rest and we don't have a stall readily available plus Vegas hates being in a stall. Tonight he gets his last penicillin shot *fingers crossed* he heals up nice since it looks pretty dramatic right now but the vet said that we shouldn't even be able to tell in a year. DH and I joked that Vegas knew he was going to start having to work again and wanted to continue his pasture puff life.
    Good - I'm making my flight reservation to go home tonight for my little sister's wedding on the first weekend in May. Minnesota better gets its weather in check because I don't want to see snow on the ground after its been in the 50s in western Montana for weeks now.
    TTC:
    Bad - trying to get sex this week, which of course ends up being FW, has been a major pain since poor DH is exhausted every night after work since the project he's working on is having an important deadline coming up. If I O today we still had okay timing so I try not to get too discouraged.
    Good - I think I actually got a positive opk yesterday so it's nice to see a positive on any kind of test. DH has been warned ;)

    Any FFC's/AW's/UO's? Nope

    QOTW: What is your favorite meal? Do you think you could or would get tired of eating said meal if you had to eat it for an extended amount of time?
    Ahhh it's so hard to pick a favorite meal as I have three that I adore equally. I love steak, chili, and stew. When I make stew or chili, it ends up with us eating it for days and still having to freeze some so either of them I could eat for an extended time. Steak would probably be another story as I could see that getting old quickly.

  • @stephkf I hope Vegas heals up soon! Poor thing!

    and thank you for coming out to play! I felt super dumb being the only one here, lol.
