What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT
RRCS: I got nothin'
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) What was the best part of your weekend? I got a lot done in the yard and around the house, which was good. But the best part of my weekend was Saturday night; we were walking to the bar and saw 3 random people on horseback trotting down a major street uptown. Then they tied up their steeds to a bike rack outside the club. Must've been a theme night.

What are you doing to get knocked up? PNV, vitex, temping will start tomorrow
RRCS: just waiting. I think my bleeding has maybe stopped
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Relaxing on the patio with some sangria. The weather was almost cold yesterday so it was nice.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, cm, halfheartedly temping
RRCS: I got a positive OPK this morning! I'm trying not to get my hopes up (since I had one in early March too that didn't appear to lead anywhere), but it's nice to have something breaking the monotony at least. My temps are still quite low (96.88 this morning), but I'll talk to my doctor about that tomorrow.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Doing nothing! We never do that, and it was amazing. I got to read a ton, do rome research on towns in New England we want to check out, and generally hang out with the animals. I'd like to do that again today.

CD: 17
What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things.
RRCS: So my temp still hasn't spiked. Either my temp will spike tomorrow which likely means today is actual O day. Or my body is going to be a PITA this cycle and it was a fake out with the OPK's and all the CM. I'm kind of hoping its just that I'm actually Oing today. But CM is back to creamy and O pains are gone. Ugh. I want a break from sex. We were really taking advantage of my fertile this time around and I'm over it.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? *Possible trigger warning* We took DD to go see Frozen on Ice. It was awesome. Watching her reactions to everything and seeing her dance and sing along was priceless!

Cycle/Month: 12/14 AL (21 months since first TTC)
CD: 8
What are you doing to get knocked up? I need to start temping again. I always stop for the first week of my cycle and then have trouble picking up the habit again.
RRCS: I had a pretty bad week last week (CD1, FB pregnancy announcement, application rejection, fighting with H) and I'm hoping this week is better. I woke up with a semi-positive attitude and I'm just going to try to keep that up!
GTKY: H and I had a date night Saturday. We decided to go out of town for dinner and it was nice. On the way home, we had a good conversation about the root of all the fighting and my unhappiness lately. I admitted that this TTC stuff and my loss have been weighing heavily lately and I'm just really unhappy with things and he opened up about his feelings about seeing a urologist and the struggles we're having too. It was a good talk with crying and stuff. So I'm happy that happened.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Green Tea, PNV, Pre Seed, BBT
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? My sister and I made plans to meet up at my mom's house for a weekend over the summer, I haven't seen them in almost a year and can't wait for some girl time!!
BabyStandish sangria sounds so good now even though it's before 11am here. icedtea I hope your body is finally going to O! kayladawn91 so many hugs. You had a rough week! This week needs to be a good one for you.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Letrozole, temping
RRCS: My MRI appt which is needed for me to move into any fertility treatments is not until November. I basically bawled my eyes out at my desk. Wtf Canada. This is just bulshit. I have to get bloodwork every 3 months to try to get on their waitlist. I am scrambling to get the reqs for that and will go asap to get it done. I really don't want to wait this long.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Given I'm on me period, my weekend consisted of wine and eating all things that make you fat. My friend too me to the opera yesterday to see Carmen- that was my highlight. My first opera and I love it.

What are you doing to get knocked up? Bbt, sex, PNV
RRCS: I'm sooo fucking ragey pissed. It looks like I O'd yesterday. Had another big temp spike this morning. Like seriously wtf body the one freaking day my husband is on duty so we can't have sex. GDI.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? We went to the beach Saturday evening for many hours. We made a campfire and fished. *****possible trigger******** And my little played in the sand. It was a blast.
mikaela20, that sounds so frustrating! I hope you're able to get in sooner.
Body weirdness I forgot to complain about... About a week ago, I had ewcm (which I never have) along with a couple days of super light spotting. I didn't have my thermometer but got home to find super low temps, and now I have the positive OPK. Basically, my body wants me to go insane and I may be losing the battle.
icedtea, have you had a + OPK before during this long cycle? I hope things are happening for you. And which towns are on your list so far? You obviously don't have to list them here if it's too specific.
kayladawn91, I'm sorry for your tough week. I'm glad you had a good conversation with your H and I hope this week is much better for you.
mikaela20, November?! That is incredibly frustrating!
Cycle/Month: 7/8

What are you doing to get knocked up? Not much right now, I need to start temping but I haven't gotten a new battery yet.
RRCS: Meh.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Being reunited with my husband after he's been out of town for a few days.
RRCS: temp spike this morning. Overall they're all high for pre-O other than the days my old thermometer was busted and giving me the same daily temp. I don't even know anymore. I give up trying to figure out this weird cycle and it's only day 11. The fact that based on CM and OPK I could actually be 3DPO is weird too. Whatever. I feel like forgetting all the BBT and OPKs for the rest of this cycle and letting the chips fall where they may. First RE appt this week anyway.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Honestly, nothing great happened this weekend. Lol. It was pretty boring and uneventful.
That sucks mikaela20. The Canadian medical system is good most of the time, but it takes for ever and a day to get any major testing scheduled. Hugs!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Metformin, synthroid, bbt, cm, eod
RRCS: I had what looked like wattery/ew cm yesterday, and now I'm having some thick almost ewcm today. I'm hoping that this is real, and not just a mind fuck like every other month :S
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? I had a great weekend with DH and DS. We went to a fancy pizza place friday for supper, and DS had his dance and skating lessons. He even figured out how to get back up all on his own
PirateCat, I had one back on March 3rd. I was all excited at the time, because it matched up with my "normal" O dates and I thought my cycle was getting right back into things post-loss. But then my temps didn't show O, and I never got a period. I haven't had a positive since then (though it's been hard to know when to test).
I'm looking at a bunch in CT (ex., Pomfret, New Preston, East Lyme), MA (Andover, Northampton), RI (Warren, East Greenwich), and NH (Portsmouth, maybe others). A lot will depend on where H gets a job, but we're hoping for some flexibility.
icedtea Hooray for a positive OPK! ladytiffany24 FX'd for a temp spike tomorrow! And I love all the Disney on ice shows too! kayladawn91 Hope this is the start of a better week! Hugs! mikaela20 oh that stinks! Hoping you don't have to wait that long!
Cycle/Month: 12/13

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPKs, preseed
RRCS: My body is still being an asshole. Trying desperately to stick to EOD until O.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Well I worked all weekend so I'm counting happy hour with the BFF tonight as the highlight to my "weekend".
What are you doing to get knocked up? Blood work today, Clomid starting tomorrow, then some temping and OPKs and all that jazz
RRCS: I'm feeling less antsy about the Clomid thanks to tips from everyone - thanks guys!! And I've decided to take my first dose tomorrow evening after the 5th grade party, so no worry about side effects on top of everything else.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? DH and I went to a fancy dinner for our anniversary celebration and then saw Spamalot. Love Monty Python.
icedtea, I'm not too familiar with other places but Portsmouth is super cute. Good luck with your search - it's kind of fun choosing a new place to relocate to.
Thanks ladies. I feel like I'm crying over spilt milk. I calmed down a bit and accepted the fact that it's gonna be a long wait. I just wasn't expecting a 7 month wait for an MRI. I wish I started this process sooner.
I was very impressed with the nurse who did my blood draw today - 4 tubes would usually mean me on the floor, but she cranked through them so fast I didn't get woozy at all! This makes me less terrified of all the blood work you have to do if you get KU.

icedtea, I grew up in southwestern CT and live in MA now in the Boston area but my husband is from the Springfield area. If you have questions about places I know about let me know kayladawn91, I hope this week is better for you! Glad you and your H were able to have a good conversation! mikaela20, Wow, that is NOT fair! Why do you need an MRI before moving onto treatments? Rama, *hugs*

What are you doing to get knocked up? Femara, IUI sometime
RRCS: I have an appt tomorrow to see how my follicles are growing which will give me a better idea of when estimated IUI will be.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what was the best part of your weekend? Saturday night DH and I skipped a party and stayed home to play Monopoly and drink a bottle of wine. It was perfect.
