    Where are you at in your TTC journey? C1/CD72
    Any testing coming up? Yup. Because I like making myself crazy.  :-S
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) DH's work is insane right now. So, naturally, he brings it home. I love the man dearly, but he talks about work every night when he gets home (on top of working more) and I'm about at my wit's end. I just want one night...just one...where the topic of conversation doesn't center around how effed up his company is or who screwed up what project. Even when I try and change the subject to something not work related, he brings it back. Granted, everyone needs to decompress somehow, but I fail to see how obsessing over work WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME is going to help. 

    TTC-wise, I'm still waiting. Waiting for something to happen.
    QOTW: What is your dream job? An astronomer. Working on Mauna Kea.

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) My mom's coming to visit soon! It's been over a year since I've seen her. I'm really excited but I'm also kind of nervous. Is it going to be really hard to say bye again?
    QOTW: What is your dream job? Definitely a writer. I've always had this vision of sitting in my warm kitchen on a gray fall day with a warm cup of tea nearby, writing up a storm. I AM a writer... just don't make money at it. :)
  • Where are you at in your TTC journey?
    TTC#2 Cycle 3 CD41

    Any testing coming up?
    Nope

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..)
    Just took my last dose of Provera today. Should get AF in a few days. Then we'll have a Clomid cycle to see if that will get my ovaries back on track.

    QOTW: What is your dream job?
    I'd love to write or be a baker.

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? The plan is to still start next month but I'm not confident. We are going to have a big talk about it in a few weeks if we are going forward or not. Any testing coming up?no Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) we are settling in to our new apartment and I will be starting my new job on Monday ( which is why I feel the hesitation about ttc). But I'm 29 so I don't want to wait either because we want two kids and what if it takes us a while. Oh if only we knew exactly how long it would take right? I wish haha QOTW: What is your dream job? In all honesty I love my job. Being a teacher is great. @joleri23 have fun with your mom! @lfk2013 fingers crossed for you!
  • @aboxofchocolates I totally hear you about wanting to wait but also not wanting to wait because you don't know how long it will take. It's frustrating!

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? TTA until February (Cycle 1, CD 17 off BCP)

    Any testing coming up? Nope

    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) I'm starting a new job tomorrow (which is why we pushed TTC back until February), and I'm super excited about that. My BBT should come in tomorrow, so I will be able to start temping on Tuesday.

    QOTW: What is your dream job? Hopefully the one I start tomorrow (Hematology/Oncology Nurse Practitioner). I loved working as Heme/Onc as an RN, and I hope it will be even more amazing as an NP.


    Any other questions or concerns you'd like to share, go right ahead.

    I really hope my body will cooperate and have regular cycles, but I don't think it will. I have been on BCP for 12 years (with one 3 month break about 7 years ago). My cycles would last 4-8 months, and I have had to use Provera before. I know cycles can change, and I just hope that mine will be regular and ovulatory. I don't have high hopes though.

    ETA: @aboxofchocolates I am in a very similar position as you! I will be 28 in a couple weeks, and I'm starting a new job tomorrow. Ultimately, H and I decided to TTA until February. Good luck with making your decision!

    No QOTW this week, so I'm just continuing this thread. (If anyone has ideas for questions, let me know!)

    Where are you at in your TTC journey? C1/CD80...DPO11
    Any testing coming up? Yes...FF gave me crosshairs this morning. I'm kind of surprised. I also think it's wrong. I think it should be 4 days earlier based on my temps and CF. I'm not getting my hopes up, though. (Also, if anyone wants to look at my chart, the link is in my siggy.)
    Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) See above. Work has been super hectic and stressful this week and it hasn't helped that I've felt like crap. I will say that I'm looking forward to next Thursday. I have an interview. :)

  • Where are you at in your TTC journey? Still waiting till September... I think. Any testing coming up? Nope Anything good or bad happening? (TTC wise or just in life..) i started my new job this week and I really like it so far. I still have my concerns that I talked about before with our ttc date and the new job. Also the hubby has been doing something weird lately. When I say something like " when we start to try soon" or any baby sentence that doesn't really need a response he just says nothing like he's not even acknowledging it. This makes me nervous. @lfk2013 good luck on your interview. Let us know how it goes.
  • Just dropping in...

    CD15 of my first medicated Cycle.  I did 100mg of Clomid CD3-7 and the only side effect was one hot flash!

    I had a monitoring appointment this morning and I have one 12mm follicle growing on my left ovary and I go back Monday for another check.

    Good luck with your interview @lfk2013.

    I'm glad you like your new job @aboxofchocolates! Good luck with your TTC decision.

    AFM...

    I'm on C1 CD28 off BCP and still waiting for ovulation. H and I are TTA until February 2016.

    I'm not using OPKs because I have PCOS, but I am tracking CM and temping. I really hope my body will get its crap together. I don't want to have to call for Provera. Time will tell...

    Has anyone ever had ovulation spotting? I'm symptom spotting for O!

  • @GABride2010 I've had ovulation spotting before but it's hit or miss: maybe one month, but not the next, and not even that regularly.
  • Thanks @joleri23. Turns out that I haven't O'd yet (that I know of). I wouldn't know I was spotting if I wasn't checking CM, so I haven't marked it in my chart. I didn't start temping until CD 19, so it is possible I could have O'd before then.
