RRCS: I have been making an effort to stop stalking FF and just relax a little. Most likely we will only have one more kiddo so I want to slow down and enjoy things. I felt rushed to get KU when all of my friends were but now that that has passed, some of the pressure is gone & I'm just happier in general.
GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? I'm not sure I could pick out a single day... fresh crab legs & shrimp might top my list though.

CD/DPO: CD 6

RRCS: I already ranted about this in the WTO thread, but wtf short cycles? My first two cycles post-Mirena were only 22 days. They've always been on the short side but in the past they were more like 25-26 days.

GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? Hmm. I once attended a party that had giant outdoor woks filled with three kinds of paella. That was pretty great.

RRCS: I'll give you the short version: H dropped hints about TFAS, then said he didn't want to think about it until the new year, then said a June baby sounded nice, then refused to wear a condom, then said he wants to NTNP because he wants a "surprise". So basically I'm TTC and he's in la-la land. So frustrating.
GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? There are a few on my best-meals-ever list but one that comes to mind is a glass of wine and a ham & butter sandwich I had at this tiny French restaurant in downtown LA before seeing some show (we ate other delicious things that night, but that damn sandwich will stay with me forever). The restaurant is run by two girls and it's just them, a bar, a small fridge, and a cooktop. The place seats maybe 10-12 people...and it's some of the best food I've ever had.

charliefox that sounds amazing. I love French style ham and butter sandwiches. On a baguette?

Age of LO: will be 2 next month
Cycle/Month: 12
RRCS: I think I'm going to stop with charting and temps...the NP at my OB's office feels confident that all these vitamins she had me start taking will help my body get with the program.
GTKY: this is a tough one... I've had some good meals

charliefox, - "basically I'm TTC and he's in la-la land" describes my husband too & he's definitely ready for a sibling, he is just way more go with the flow.

Also, do you know the name of the restaurant? I will be in LA at the end of the month and this sounds like it would be a fun place to try.

RRCS: of course our first cycle TTC and I'm going to have a long one. I'm crampy today so I'm hoping my temp spikes tomorrow. So far my temps have been more sporadic too. The temp of my room never effected my charts before, but our heat wave last week, I had mid 98 temps and yesterday I woke up feeezing and had a nearly 97 temp. I hope it levels off because I'm not committing to temping vaginally.

GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? this is hard. Probably the delicious steak dinner I had at this restaurant for my birthday last year. It was delicious even though I couldn't have it medium rare and paired with a wonderful red wine that I had a few sips of (gasp).

Of course! It's the simplest thing, but an amazing baguette with perfect ham and creamy butter? So good!

It's called Mignon. 

Depending on where in LA you'll be I might have other recs too if you need

What vitamins?

CD/DPO: 14/1?

RRCS: I'm still not temping and I really don't want to. I had a crazy long cycle last time so I added OPKs this cycle and I got a positive on CD12 which would be early for me. Wish my body would just do what it usually does. I'm not convinced I O'd even though I had my usual O cramps. If I did we had excellent timing. Let the waiting begin!

GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? I love food. My last year in college one of my roommates and I decided on a whim to make a super fancy Easter meal. Leg of lamb, scalloped potatoes with Gruyere, and green onion soup. It was amazing and probably still the most intensive meal I've ever made. My roommate went on to be a chef.

CD/DPO: 11dpo
RRCS: I'm testing tomorrow. I just want to want to go to sleep now and wake up tomorrow and know if there's something cookin' in there or not! I go back and forth between being so sure this is it to there's no way and AF is coming soon.
GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? Oh we've had way too many to count. One that sticks out recently was an anniversary dinner at a Brazilian steak house. The meat was so good. Like how does a steak melt in your mouth? But it did! Then for dessert I had a liqueur called cuarenta y tres (43) that they lit on fire and it was like liquid creme brûlée. All of it was just sooooo good. Can't go wrong with steak and carbs!

Thanks! I'm not even sure exactly. We are actually going to be in Anaheim but fly into and out of LAX so we were thinking of spending our last day in LA.

RRCS: Nothing much to say on cycle day 8. I hate the first week of a cycle. There is zero excitement to be had. I swear I temp just so I have something to do ttc related.

GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? On my honeymoon in Kauai I had a five spice tuna with mango puree that knocked my socks off followed by a slice of hula pie. I love Hawaii. All the food was so fresh and delicious.

[saltandvinegar]

FX for you cheezee!

LO is 2

Cd 14 for me with fertile cm, +OPK, and good timing so far in FW. Just plan to make the best of my husband being home this FW then enjoy the work trip he 'won' for us next week to hopefully stay relaxed thru my TWW.

Best meal ever is my mom's homemade lasagna and sauce on Christmas. Add her cheese cake and it's heaven! That woman can cook. Her thanksgiving dinner is my second favorite!

RRCS: I tested last night and thought I saw the faintest of squinters. Bfn this morning and slight temp drop so now I just wait for AF. This stinks.

GTKY: Best meal you've ever had?
There was this steak marinated in a soy sauce based sauce at a restaurant I went to. It was delicious.

Age of LO(s): 2.5yo and 11m
Cycle/Month: TTA, my brother is getting married out of state Labor Day weekend next year and I really don't want to bring a newborn or be unable to fly, so TTC has to wait... And probably I don't want a holiday baby either, so it will be a while :/
CD/DPO: CD7
RRCS: My cat is bugging the shit out of me right now. Both babies slept well for once but you have to get me up at 4am, WTF?!?
GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? My birthday is in June and this restaurant near me used to do these crazy Morel themed dinners. 7 courses, sweet and savory, all focused around morels. It was mushroom lover heaven!

[jax1182014]

RRCS: this is our first month trying but I feel like I've been pReparing for three months now -DH thinks we're just casually trying but it's basically all I think about now... We are not just casually trying! Actually, coming back to this, I change my mind, we definitely are casually trying. I realize how insensitive I'm being!!
GTKY: Best meal you've ever had? Restaurant in Saigon 9 years ago on our honeymoon - we stumbled across it and best food experience ever

[agm04]

RRCS: our whole house is sick, and i'm over it.
GTKY: This is really hard, as DH and I used to do lots of awesome dining for date nights when we lived in NYC. We went to Italy the day after we got engaged, and ate at La Sponda in Positano on that trip. INCREDIBLE views, and we did the tasting menu with wine pairings (so fancy!), and there was music...it was out of a movie. Runner up is the tasting menu at Daniel in NYC. I love good food, but so much of it is the experience/service/ambiance too!

and i can't help myself...paging cheezee !




came back to add a pic of la sponda (not my pic, got it from google images).  so gorgeous.

[cheezee]

agm04 ahhhh!!! I was just coming here to tell all my TFAS ladies I got a BFP!! I posted over in the TWW. I still can't believe it. I'm still nervous until I get a beta and progesterone check on Friday. Thank you ladies so much for all the support and I'm rooting for you all!

[agm04]

cheezee yay yay yay! hot dog dance! (hopefully my kid isn't the only one obsessed with MMCH)

[charliefox]

Congrats cheezee!!! H&H 9 months!!
