Re: TTC Check In
Any testing coming up? I'll POAS (officially) on July 7th if nothing happens by then. I want to know what's going on before I go to California on 7/14.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I hate my body. It doesn't seem to want to work, which is what I thought would happen. I'm debating seeing if my OB/GYN can test to see if I have PCOS, just because I've suspected for a while that I have it, but was on BC for so long, there wasn't a reason to figure it out. But apparently my temps show O. I'm skeptical...
QOTW: What's your favorite part of 4th of July (if you celebrate it/do something for it)? I love the fireworks.

I'm trying...but it's tough, knowing what my cycles were like when I wasn't on BCP.
I can see now why so many go a little crazy during the 2WW...

Any testing coming up? I am going to start OPK. They say to start on CD9 does anyone suggest starting sooner? I am going with the pricey ones for the first month and hopefully I will be calm enough to switch to the cheap ones next cycle.
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) we fixed up our bathroom and re did our floor in the kitchen. I love it! Besides that H and I are just enjoying the summer off.
QOTW: What's your favorite part of 4th of July (if you celebrate it/do something for it)? We have a HUGE celebration in my hometown. They have an awesome crafts fair and I always buy two pieces of pie from a stand that are amazing.

Any testing coming up? N/A
Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I'm trying to patiently wait to TTC. I know it will be good for us to wait, but I want to start TTC now!
QOTW: What's your favorite part of 4th of July (if you celebrate it/do something for it)? My parents are coming to visit us for the first time since we moved, and we will probably go on a hike, go sight seeing, and eat out a lot!
Random question: What are everyone's thoughts about stopping BC a few months prior to TTC? Obviously it is a decision for H and I to make, but I'm just curious what y'all think. My cycles were so long and irregular before BCP, but I have been on the pill for about 12 years now. I did stop taking it for three months about 7 years ago just to see what my body would do. At 90 days, I got Provera, and then restarted BCP once I got my period.

It looks like you weren't on Metformin then (based on your signature). Of course, ultimately it is up to you, but when I went off BCP in the 11 months before I met DH (to see what my body would do), my first cycle was 50+ days. Going off them before TTC will get the hormones out of your system, but you do run the risk of your body cooperating.

There is a chance that we could start NTNP maybe in December or so. I do want to get off BCP to give my body a few months without hormones before TTC, but obviously I have to do what H and I are comfortable with.
No testing but I may start temping this month. My sleep is terrible though so I'm not sure how that's going to work.
Nothing too exciting, been working like a dog but getting some things done that we had hoped to get accomplished before getting PG like a bunch of dental work for me (I'm still enjoying the side effects of some awesome sedation!) and gutting our bathroom.
Honestly, I've always worked the 4th of July and I could care less about fireworks so its never been big on my holiday radar.
If we don't get pregnant this time I am temping. I really need to feel a little more in control at this point.
