QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. 

[wirt2cute]

Status: TTC #3, cycle month 14 or 15

What are you doing this month? Letrozole, bbt, pnv, opk, sex, preseed

Where are you at in your journey? I finished 5 days of letrozole last Friday, now I am just waited to o. My temps are all over the place, but the ladies in the IF weekly check in gave me good information about that. I am hoping that a positive opk will happen this weekend or at least early next week.

What is your mood? Right now its good, just waiting to see what happens next with my body.

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. I have a huge problem when people talk on the phone and eat food at the same time. All I can hear is smacking and chewing of food. Second H has a bad habit of clicking his teeth with his fork while he is eating. Its like finger nails on a chalkboard to me.

[summergirl1211]

Status: 1st cycle trying for child #2



What are you doing this month? BBT, OPK's and PNV




Where are you at in your journey? CD 8. I ovulate pretty late in my cycle so I'm just waiting. 




What is your mood? Anxious. I find myself staring at FF to see if I can determine exactly when I'll ovulate or what else we could do to improve our chances. I'm concerned I'll ovulate during Memorial Day weekend, which would make things hard since we're visiting family and the walls are thin (not to mention DD will be sharing our room). Then again, I get a little sad when I realize that with only one tube, it's very possible I won't even release an egg this month. Sigh.




QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. Hands down, I hate when people are late. Once in awhile is fine, but people that are chronically late drive me insane! Also, people who chew with their mouth open.

[zombiesquad]

wirt2cute How did the Letrozole treat you? I haven’t read any of the responses in the IF check in, but I’d venture to guess that you probably don’t need to temp while doing a medicated cycle. Definitely doesn’t hurt though. Fingers crossed for a positive OPK soon!

summergirl1211 I, too, hate tardiness. There are some exceptions, but for the most part, it is so annoying and rude.

Status: CD 20 and no O in sight. Last cycle was 42 days so I’m not expecting anything anytime soon. TTA this cycle anyway. Eventually we will try for #2.

What are you doing this month: Just temping to try and catch O. Ran out of PNVs so I’ll need to get more of those, but that’s it.

What is your mood? Generally positive and happy. Not much I can do other than wait.

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. Oh gosh, it’s hard to choose. I have so many, actually. But work wise, I hate it when people ask me questions they could have easily answered themselves. In the time it takes them to ask me or wait for an answer, they could have been more resourceful. At home, I absolutely can not stand it when MH is using his phone (not necessarily talking on it) and I say something or ask a question and he does not respond. Then I’m like HELLO??? Then he’ll respond, but days later if I bring up whatever I asked or told him, he has no idea what I’m talking about. Argh!

[agpjt413]

Will be back in a bit for my update but wanted to say to zombiesquad - I think we're married to the same man!

[wirt2cute]

summergirl1211, I totally understand looking at FF. I go back and look at every month to see what day I ovulated on in the past and see if there has been any patterns so I can try to predict what will happen. I have on tube as well and that is one of the reason's we are doing medicated cycles along with other things going on with H and my fertility.

zombiesquad, the letrozole was okay except I kept getting horrible headaches. I would have to 2-4 Tylenol just to get to sleep. I took it at night, but I was still giving me the headaches. I thought about not temping but I am just to nosy not to. I want to see if I can pick up when I ovulate. FX that you are able to catch out O day really soon. I so hate when people at work ask questions that they should know the answer to. If you have been at a job longer then I have then you should know way more then me, but questions are asked by some of my team members that should already be a given.

[lennonkdc]

Status: CD 15, 2DPO



What are you doing this month? I thought we were TTA this cycle, but H decided (TMI warning...mid BD) that he's ok with NTNP, so glad I was still charting and taking PNV.


Where are you at in your journey? I'm feeling a little excited about H's change of heart. He's alway been good about WD, so I know it wasn't an oops. We did talk after the fact and he's 100% on board with the whole thing. So, fingers crossed.


What is your mood? I'm cautiously optimistic. Thanks to dumb luck it looks like we had decent timing, so I guess whatever happens happens. Obviously I'd love to be lucky enough to get a BFP on the first try. But I know the odds long, so I'm ok either way.


QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. I HATE when DH places his dishes on the counter right above the dishwasher, its empty, just take the 2 seconds to check. I also dislike people who don't leave voicemails...

[wannabmama]

wirt2cute and summergirl1211 I'm so obsessed with finding patterns in normal life, FF is a blessing and a curse! I spend waaay too much time trying to find patterns...and really...I don't have any!

zombiesquad MH does the same thing, but sometimes he amps up the annoying by barely acknowledging I'm speaking and when I stop or say something bc I realize he's not paying attention he parrots back to me what I was saying, not sure which is worse!

I'm CD28/11DPO?
TTC #1 for 9 mo, one CP
Mood is unclear, ha...goes up and down depending on which phantom symptom/AF symptom I am focusing on at that moment, ha!
QOTW: I'm not a very pet peeve-y person, but I do get inordinately annoyed if someone drinks out of the wrong "vessel" (like juice in a mug). I also can't stand when people don't understand merging when you're driving...like a zipper people...like a zipper! And don't be the a-hole who races up on the outside...

[dream2be3]

FX for some BFP's!!!

AFM, I am TTC #1. 12 more days of BCP. 8 days until the practice retrieval and HSG. 16 more days until I start stimming in prep for IVF #1. Not that I'm counting or anything...lol. And I am living vicariously through luvmyponies as she goes through the process!


I forgot my pet peeves! I HATE when people chew with their mouth open. It gets to the point where I sometimes have to leave or move as far away as possible from them. The other big one is when people, including mu DH, says "we was" or "they was." Were. It's were!

[rnmommy]

I'm lurking, hoping to see more BFPs from you ladies! T&P you each get one this month!!

This is MH. He knows I've loading the dishwasher. He'll finish a plate or bowl of something and then leave it in the counter instead of just putting it in the dishwasher.

[KirstenAlecia]

Status: TTC# 2 for me, #1 for hubby. Over 3 years now.....almost 4



What are you doing this month? Prenatals, Vit D, charting/temping




Where are you at in your journey? CD19/5DPO




What is your mood? Not happening.....I ovulated earlier than I normally do and we BD 4 days before O and that was it for FW, so not likely.




QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. Nagging. My husband is a professional at it.

[luvmyponies]

wirt2cute Sorry the letrozole gave you such bad headaches. FX for a positive OPK soon!
summergirl1211 Why does it seem that AF and O always happen at the worst possible times? Good luck if you O on Memorial Day weekend!
zombiesquad I have the same pet peeve! (See below)
lennonkdc So great that YH is on board! Good luck!
wannabmama I LOL'd when I read your pet peeve... I'm always saying that "like a zipper, people!!"
dream2be3 FX that everything goes smoothly for you! Glad I could share my experience with you!
ladystrat Sounds like you have a great OB and good outlook! Anti-vax is more than a pet peeve for me. I generally try to be neutral (in public) about most issues because I hate conflict. But I draw the line at anti-vax and I don't care who knows it!
KirstenAlecia So sorry your timing wasn't good this month. FX for next month!

AFM:

Status: TTC #1 since May 2014

What are you doing this month? Acupuncture, IVF #1

Where are you at in your journey? The whole IVF process has been very smooth - FX it stays that way. Retrieved 14 eggs last Saturday, 12 fertilized, going in tomorrow (Thursday) for embryo transfer. Then it's beta or bust!!

What is your mood? Hopeful and excited most of the time... every so often fear and doubt creep in...

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves? I despise people who ask me questions they could have googled themselves. Someone shared this on another board here and I'm totally going to send it to the next person who asks me a stupid question: lmgtfy.com/

I also can't stand people who don't know how to talk on the phone. They call me, and then somehow I'm supposed to carry the conversation. I don't have anything to say because I didn't call you!!

Edited: because I always screw up tagging KirstenAlecia

[Deleted]

luvmyponies, best wishes for everything going wonderfully well tomorrow! I cannot imagine the anticipation you must feel!

[wannabmama]

luvmyponies got everything crossed for you tomorrow!

[wirt2cute]

luvmyponies, FX so hard for you on Thursday!!!!!

[luvmyponies]

Thank you @kellbell wannabmama wirt2cute!!! There's a reason why it's 9:30 and I'm still still playing around on these boards! I have so much to do today and I can't seem to accomplish anything other than surfing the messages boards and googling random things!

[summergirl1211]

Best of luck luvmyponies! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

[pittpurple]

Status: TTC2 as of today!

What are you doing this month? First month without BC so just going to try EOD next week when it 'should' be the right time and see what happens. Am trying not to jump in with too much stress from the start.

Where are you at in your journey? CD4. I've been tracking my cycles for the last 6 months and weirdly, each month I lose a day (used to be a 30 day cycle, now I'm down to 25 days last month) so will be watching that over the next few months.

What is your mood? Panicked to be honest. I had a bit of PPD and really didn't handle TTCAL very well so I'm just hoping to stay on an even keel for my daughter.

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves.
Silly ones are ticking clocks and dogs licking me. Hearing a ticking clock makes me crazy!

[wirt2cute]

pittpurple, good luck for you first month back TTC!

KirstenAlecia, my body did the same thing last month. I thought I would have had more time but I ovulated earlier then I was ready for.

Positive vibes totally helped because I got a blazing positive opk this morning. From stark white last night to super positive this morning and a smiley face on my cb. I put in a call to my RE to get in today for my ultrasound.

[zombiesquad]

Woohoo, wirt2cute! I hope you have some good follies growing. Good luck at your ultrasound.

[jess9802]

Status:
TTA this cycle. I'm guessing I will ovulate today, so just two more weeks until we are officially TTC #2! 




What are you doing this month?
Charting, TTA, prenatals




Where are you at in your journey?
I have spent the last three days trying to talk myself out of TTA this month. It didn't work - but boy, it has been hard to not just jump on DH and see what happens! ;-)




What is your mood?
I've been really grouchy with work related stuff over the last couple of weeks. I'm hoping that eases soon. 



QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. Just two? Ooooh, I have so many. Off the top of my head, I hate the way no one in my family seems able to nest Tupperware, and seem incapable of replacing empty rolls of toilet paper and paper towels.

[mom2boxers]

Status: TTC #2 - 1st cycle

What are you doing this month? PNVs, OPKs, BBT

Where are you at in your journey? CD 22/ 7 DPO

What is your mood? Nervous, excited.

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves. The slapping sound that comes from certain sandals/shoes when people walk by my office and women who don't wash their hands after they go to the restroom. Gross.

[wirt2cute]

mom2boxers, YAY for your first official month of TTC!!!

jess9802, my mom for some reason always has my plastic ware. I have no clue how they end up at her house, but I need to do a raid on my things.

I just finished my ultrasound and I have two eggs, one on the left 2.16cm and one on the right 2.68cm, the tech and nurse were really excited. I was given a "sex plan" and a prescription for Estrace due to my lining being somewhat thin 5. something, and I start that tonight. So we will have to see what happens these next three days.

[zombiesquad]

wirt2cute, those sound like some good sized follicles!

[wirt2cute]

zombiesquad, Okay good, because I have no clue what those numbers mean. I was too excited because they were so excited that I forgot to ask what they meant. I took a picture of my numbers on the last screen, so I could google everything.

I think 18mm is usually what my RE always wanted to shoot for. 2cm is about 20 mm so I think you're good, especially with your positive OPK. I hope the "sex plan" officially starts today

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Okay good. That makes sense. Yes the plan starts tonight!!!   

[scorpioscuba]

Status: 1st cycle trying for child #2

What are you doing this month? BBT, OPK's and PNV

Where are you at in your journey? 8DPO and going BSC

What is your mood? Anxious, excited, scared. All the things!

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves? 1) Cracking knuckles. Can't stand it. I had a massage a few weeks back and the massage therapist kept doing it and it drove me nuts. So not relaxing. Will not be going back there! 2) MH's obsession with reading EVERYTHING on his phone. He has a perfectly good Macbook but would rather surf the net on his phone. He is going to go blind.

---------------
wirt2cute, congrats on awesome follies!
luvmyponies, good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

[agpjt413]

So sorry I'm late to the party again ladies!! GL luvmyponies!!

Status: TTC #1, 2 losses

What are you doing this month? PNV, all the vitamins, eating healthy, exercising

Where are you at in your journey? CD14, waiting to O. First cycle since burning the bench this go round.

What is your mood? Happy & hopeful

QOTW: What are two of your biggest pet peeves: Oh man, I've got several but the two I'll share (and hopefully I won't get flamed!) are - 1) when people use "brought" instead of "bought." ie - I brought this at Old Navy...I mentally ask myself if they think the present tense is "to bruy?" 2) People who say "shake their head" but they actually mean "nod." I really don't mean to sound petty but I really do get confused when someone says, "...and she shakes her head and agreed with me..." Ummmm what?!
