QOTW:  What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window?

[wirt2cute]

Where are you from: TN


Status: TTC#3 CD26


What are you doing this month? Sex, temping, opk, pnv. My sexy time has come back full force.


Where are you at in your journey? I finally got a positive opk on cd 25 which was Monday morning. I had been testing since CD12 and I keep getting negatives. On CD 22 I got what I thought was a positive and my temp dipped super low, but then the next day my temp shot up. I had been drinking and only got 3 hours of sleep so I discarded that temp. Monday morning I decided to do an opk just in case and I got a blazing positive and the smiley face, so I jumped H while he was sleeping. We will keep HIO until I see a clear shift in my temps. I was so worried that my body would not work properly since the surgery. I have my follow-up with my RE on Thursday to discuss next steps, so we shall see how that goes.


What is your mood? I'm just thankfully that my caught the positive opk.


QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window? My team is in training today and my receptionist is out so I am on the front desk. But the front desk has a direct shot of the Walmart across the parking lot and seeing all the different types of people and what they are wearing into the Walmart has been the highlight of my work day. It's warm here so you can only imagine.

[b0710]

Where are you from: Michigan


Status: TTC #2 with DH (#3 for me) since July 2014. Currently CD23 and 5 DPO.


What are you doing this month? Temping, lots of sex, and PNV.


Where are you at in your journey? After a loss in January, I was so happy to see that my body recovered quickly and resumed a close to normal for me schedule. I told myself that these next couple of months were just for fun. I would resume temping, but not OPKs just yet (if ever), and just enjoy my DH. Well, here I am at 5 DPO with all the feelings hahaha. I wondered how this would work out for me, and I have my answer now. I think when you want something so badly, it's hard to not focus on it. I obviously notice changes in my body, know when I O, etc. so I'm not sure if it's possible for me to just have a relaxing few months enjoying DH without conception pressure (from my own head. I am surprisingly ok with this new revelation though

What is your mood? I am happy and hopeful. We had great timing this month, but I also truly feel ok with whatever happens. I'm sure I'll have the moment of annoyance if/when AF shows up, but I think it will pass more quickly than some months in the past.


QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window? I am a high school teacher, and I have windows both outside and into the hallway. It is shocking, entertaining, disturbing, funny, etc. what high school freshmen will do....especially if they think no one is watching!

[aswedishbee]

wirt2cute & b0710 :: great people watching!!

Status:
Still TTC #1 after MMC in April ’14

What are you doing this month?
OPKs, acupuncture, temping

Where are you at in your journey?
CD15. I got a peak reading this AM so per the test I should be ovulating soon but my temps don’t really match up. Granted, it’s my first month temping since i’ve changed my diet and started acupuncture. I had a sawtooth pattern and now I don’t know what’s up.

What is your mood?
Over it. I range from having the sads to knowing that if this month doesn’t work in our favor I will request testing and actively seek my doc’s advice for the next steps. I think I’m also having anxiety b/c this time last year I was sneaking around, trying to hide my pregnancy and slowly letting my gfs know.


QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window?
Office window :: daycare, train tracks + cemetery. Interesting combo, right?

[aswedishbee]

Oh, and it's my wedding anniversary so guaranteed sexy time is a bonus =)

[wannabmama]

wirt2cute love the visual imagining what's going in and out of Walmart!

Also to b0710, teenagers are fun to watch...a bunch of them ride my train in the morning and I find myself eavesdropping on them all the time.

aswedishbee that sounds like a scary movie setting!

MA

I'm at CD24/7DPO

We had great timing for once! And temping/pnv.

Ttc #1 for 7 mo or so.

I'm really hopeful, but my temps have been alllll over the place, up and down and up and down and I don't know what that means (probably nothing) but it's annoying! If we find out this month, it would be on the tail end of our trip which would make for quite a memorable vacation! Of course being on vacation will also soften the blow if AF does show (though having her on vacation is a pain generally!)

QOTW: I work in boston so right now I can see St. Patty's day revelers out there dressed in green and in various stages of sloppy...I'm sure it will only get worse. I can hear Irish music playing too...makes me crave a Guinness!

Where are you from:
OH




Status:
TTC-ish #1, currently CD 35, 8 dpo




What are you doing this month?
Temping, PNV




Where are you at in your journey?
just starting out! MH and I are going to start "trying" after one more cycle of "relaxed  BD whenever, and if it happens great", which is fine with me. He needs a few more weeks to settle into the idea of 'trying' and as much as I want to make this happen RIGHTTHISSECOND, I'm respecting where he's at. 




What is your mood?
Good! I'd love for this to be 'our' month, but I've got a lot on my plate so, I'll be ok if its not.




QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window? From our back windows, I can see my IL's house. The live about 500 feet away, but luckily there is a (really awesome) set of neighbors and a street between us, and they have never once dropped by unannounced. Some people might think its weird, but I like having the close by and they can't wait to be free babysitters!

[wirt2cute]

b0710, I love it, when I was teaching I heard enough slang to last a life time. At one point if I heard "On God" meaning I swear one more time I was going to scream. Also, I glad that you body bounced back and that you are enjoying DH.

aswedishbee, I'm so sorry your over it, big ((HUGS)), but have fun tonight and Happy Anniversary. And the cemetery would freak me out.

wannabmama, Yay for the great timing. FX!!!

lennonkdc,good luck this month and yay for free babysitters.

luvmyponies,that must be a beautiful view. FX for your IVF process. One of my best friends started the process this month and she is so excited and nervous all at the same time.

rnmommy, I love this time of year, when the first blooms start to happen and it's not to cold or to hot. FX for that this is your month.

[luvmyponies]

Our neighbors have a beautiful garden with tall blooming trees. It looks like it should be our garden until you leave our back door and see the fence there.

[wannabmama]

URMySunshine77 sorry for the bfn...I hope you get your april BFP!! (Or of course there's still a chance there's a surprise this time around!)

[luvmyponies]

URMySunshine77 so sorry for the BFN... FX that April is your month.

sdchick I'm so sorry about your friend.

Gotta love when you can see directly into your neighbor's windows. We lived in an apartment where we could see into the bedroom of a neighbor from our kitchen. Nothing like cooking dinner and seeing a naked man (and not the kind of naked man you'd want to see) walk around his room. We kept our blinds closed a lot.

[wirt2cute]

sdchick I'm so sorry about your friend.

[wannabmama]

sdchick so sorry about your friend, sending hugs

[nikolie93]

What are you doing this month?
I also have no idea wtf to put here lol


Where are you at in your journey?
Still the end


What is your mood?
I've been doing ok but exhausted. My dad was rushed to the hospital Friday when his neighbor found him barely breathing, lips blue. He has pneumonia on both sides and it's especially bad on the left were he list part of his lung to cancer about 8 years ago. He's still in critical condition in ICU and he hasn't really been responsive. I'm taking it day by day!

Sorry to be such a downer!


QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window?
Before the cut down all the trees outside my office window my favorite view consisted of playful Squirrels, hawks, cardinals, and other cool stuff. I miss it!

[wannabmama]

sdchick so sorry about your friend, sending hugs

[nikolie93]

sdchick I'm so sorry to hear about your friend *hug*

URMySunshine77 I had my fx for you

Michigan
TTC #2 a long time
On CD3- This month we are going natural, a Hail Mary before the ivf round. Our appointment for ivf orientation is 4-6. DH is supposed to be with me but that hasn't gone through yet. Hoping he can be with me that day.
Mood- totally doubtful

My kitchen window faces the neighbors bathroom. The window is frosted but you know when someone is showering! Makes me feel like a creeper when I'm doing dishes. Never thought to check that when house hunting.

[momtex]

Where are you from: Texas

Status: TTC #2

What are you doing this month? Temping, BDing during fertile window

Where are you at in your journey? Honestly, I'm just ready to know if we're going to have #2 or not. I hate playing "what if" game.

What is your mood? My sister told us over the weekend that she's pregnant with her first. I'm genuinely over the moon that I'm going to be an aunt and that DD is getting a cousin. I'm also extremely hopeful that maybe this will be our cycle and we can be pregnant together and have kids/cousins born within a few weeks of each other.

QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window? When I look out my kitchen window, I see a handful of trees and my neighbor's house. We are on a corner lot so there's a street between us and the neighbors.

[luvmyponies]

nikolie93 I'm so sorry about your dad. ((hugs))

[lennonkdc]

URMySunshine77, Sorry for the BFN, FX that April is your month!

What are you doing this month? OPK, temping, baby asprin, PNV with folate.


Where are you at in your journey? Starting my 2nd cycle off after my loss. On CD 4, waiting for AF to leave.


What is your mood? Hoping this is our cycle. This will be our last chance for and EDD before the new year and a new deductible kicks in. Also, after this cycle we start getting into shared birthday months and EDD month for my first loss. Even with that, I will not be upset if it doesn't happen this month.


QOTW: What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your office or kitchen or any window? My classroom faces the blacktop so we can see the kids in other grades playing during their PE and recess times.

[lickwed]

wirt2cute Is this some of the stuff you get to see?

luvmyponies So excited for you upcoming IVF cycle.

rnmommy Glad you are getting warm spring weather.

URMySunshine77 FX for an April BFP!

sdchick I am sorry about your friend.

nikolie93 I hope your dad improves soon, and just to brighten your day, your comment about the squirrels made me think of this


boobacat I love a good hail mary story. Also, I think when we were on TB, we were TWW buddies one time too. Didn't work out for us that time either unfortunately.

momtex That would be awesome if you and your sister could be pregnant at the same time. FX you get that BFP.
