Screenname/state: peanutmuse, NY (can someone explain to me why you put screenname here? I'm confused.)

Status: TTC #2 since Jan 2015

What are you doing this month? Charting and timed sex

Where are you at in your journey? 5 dpo

What is your mood? Grumpy because I am tired

QOTW: Fall is my favorite season

no clue.  just carried it over from TD

At the old place it was name or screen name.  People would put there first names or screen names.  Late to the party, so sorry if this part was already answered.

[wannabmama]

winogirl yikes that's a rough patch to say the least!! I hope things start looking up soon!!

[lickwed]

winogirl, I am so sorry about the awful past few months.  So many hugs for  you.
@kellbell, I hope your DH gets well soon.

Edited because people love hugs.

TTC #2 for a year with 2 losses

I am on CD2. AF came 37 days after my loss and I am so thankful to get back on track so quickly. My tests results came in and everything was normal except I have mutations on both my MTHFR genes which is treatable so yah! Now I will be doing baby asprin and a special prenatal until I get pregnant. After I am pregnant I will start on blood thinners.

We are officially TTC again so I will be charting/temping, OPKs, and CM. I would like to hit a BFP in the next few months and have a due date before the new year so I will only have to pay a deductible once. If I deliver after the new year, then I will hit the deductible this year and will have to pay the full deductible next year as well. No pressure or anything here.

My favorite season is winter because I love wearing shirts with long sleeves that cover your hands and sweater dresses with leggings. I'm all about the comfortable fashion.

Coming out of lurking...intro

Screenname/state: sdgal/So Cal
Status: TTC#1 cycle 2, off birth control Nov 2014, TTA Dec 2014
What are you doing this month? nothing special except preseed during FW and PNV
Where are you at in your journey? 4DPO
What is your mood? Cautiously hopeful still, but anxious to jump ahead to testing
QOTW: Are you a spring, summer, fall, or winter person? As a So Cal native we don't get much season variability (currently having a Santa Ana heat wave, but freezing in the office A/C) so I say Fall for all the yummy Thanksgiving food.

Welcome sdgal!

Screenname/state:RNMommy/California
Status:TTC#4
What are you doing this month?I stopped taking the mini pill and started taking PNV.
Where are you at in your journey? I just had my 2nd post partum period, so I'm not sure how on track I am but I think I should be O in the next couple days.
What is your mood?I'm antsy because I don't know what to expect. It took nearly 2 years to conceive #2 but #3 was just the opposite. I also hate being at a point where I can't really do anything yet.
QOTW: Are you a spring, summer, fall, or winter person? I'm not horribly fond of summer because I hate being hot.

[rnmommy]

And I forgot to write it, but I do wish everyone lots of luck in getting KU this month!! I was told when I was 13 and diagnosed with leukemia that I would never be able to have children. I have 3, so anything is possible!

[luvmyponies]

Wow winogirl - I'm so sorry for all your family is going through right now.

I can completely relate to back problems! I have thrown my back out 4 times in the past two years. Of course the doctor just gave me pain meds and muscle relaxers. I tried therapeutic massage (made it MUCH worse), physical therapy (didn't make it worse or better), and FINALLY after it went out again just before Christmas, I went to a chiropractor - who is literally a miracle worker!! He finally diagnosed the problem (SI joint) - and I have been PAIN FREE ever since!! I ride horses and work in a barn, so I'm very demanding on my back - and I haven't had any trouble at all since I went to the chiropractor. I wish I didn't wait so long. You're so right - you don't realize how much you use your back for just about everything until you can't.

I'm a realist and think about deductibles too!

really really late to the game because work has been insane for the last few weeks, but hi guys!

Screenname/state:
flyliceandcoffee/CO

Status:
TTC#2 since June, 2 mishaps along the way

What are you doing this month?
Just the usual

Where are you at in your journey?
2ww, 10, maybe 11dpo depending on if you believe the dashed crosshairs or not.

What is your mood?
I'm cautiously optimistic. AF should be showing up Sunday or Monday, and so I peed just for the hell of it this morning. It wasn't FMU, but there might've maybe, maybe not been a super duper faint line on my cheapie test. I think I have to go to the store to know one way or another...but I'm in meetings (even now, such a slacker) for the next 5 hours...

QOTW: Are you a spring, summer, fall, or winter person?
I love anything other than winter haha. I don't mind the heat in the summer, the fall and spring are nice here in CO, but since I'm a tropical gal, I hate winter.

[lickwed]

flyliceandcoffee, Please use a FRER if no temp drop tomorrow morning. We need more BFPs and yours has been a long time coming.

[rnmommy]

flyliceandcoffee, Would you be willing to post a pic of your stick so we can see if we see lines too?? This is exciting!

[sdgal]

flyliceandcoffee good luck peeing on stuff!!

[wannabmama]

flyliceandcoffee I've got everything crossed for you...come on BFP!!

I tried to take a picture of it, but it was a horrid picture. When I get a chance to pee again I'll take a picture

[peanutmuse]

I love examining pee sticks. Please do come back with pics, flyliceandcoffee!

[peanutmuse]

winogirl, I am sorry for your rough time lately.

[mugee]

Hi All,
Sorry for the late check-in, but I'm finally feeling semi-human again.

Margaret from Michigan.
TTC #1 since June 2012 with 2 losses.
I was prepping for IVF but my body decided it was cool with getting pneumonia, so I had to stop taking Estrogen.
AF never really happened this month. I spotted for 2 days but that was it...I'm back in limbo until I start CD1.
My mood is pretty crappy. I just want to be healthy and the pneumonia is a huge set-back.
QOTW: I'm a fall person but I'm ready to say summer b/c I can't take the cold much longer.

[boobacat]

Sorry Mugee. Hope you're feeling better soon. And ditto on the cold.

[wannabmama]

Ugh mugee! Pneumonia sounds no fun...esp when it messes with ttc. I'll stop whining about my strep this month, ha!

Have you peed again? Did I miss an update?

[URMySunshine77]

Feel better soon mugee! My husband is getting over a virus that turned into pneumonia.

Welcome rnmommy.
