[wirt2cute]

Status:cycle 24 ttc #3


What are you doing this month? Sex, pomogrante juice, opk, bbt

Where are you at in your journey? Cd 1 is today, boo. And to top it off I am at the doctors off with a sinus infection and ear infection. But I did see a difference with the way this cycle started. It is much heavier then my previous cycles so maybe the pom juice did help. I don't know but I am going to be drinking it from cd 1-13.

What is your mood? Sick

QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? I love when they put out the holiday cookies. Especially the ones that have the sprinkles.

[sleepymonkey]

Status: TTC #2


What are you doing this month? BBT, pom juice/baby aspirin, OPKs next week, hoping and praying!


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle 6, CD3


What is your mood? Anxious, as usual. I feel more pressure with this being cycle 6 because if this one isn't successful I will be giving my ob a call. I am getting concerned about the sudden irregularity of my cycles. My cycles have ranged from 24-36 days, which was never normal for me. At least my LP's have been pretty average at 11-13 days. On a positive note, I am hopeful that the pom juice has been working. I have had 8 oz/day during WTO for the past 2 cycles and my periods went from being extremely light and short to more normal (at least what was normal for me for years). I could be wrong but that tells me that it is helping my lining thicken each month.


QOTW: The holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? All of them! But I really do like PSL (has to be the non-skinny kind, though). And I really like my mom's gingerbread cookies. I'm not a big fan of any other gingerbread I have had but the ones she makes are yummy.

[caer]

Feel better wirt2cute! And (((hugs))) for CD 1.

Status: Cycle 8 of TFAS

What are you doing this month? OPKs, charting, testing with RE

Where are you at in your journey? CD 17, 4 DPO

What is your mood? I'm ok today. I like this part of the cycle. I don't have to worry about peeing on anything or timing BD. I don't really get impatient to test anymore so it's kind of relaxing!

QOTW: The holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? Peppermint bark. I might have just purchased a tub from Costco this week.

[caer]

I'm sorry for the anxiety sleepymonkey. Cycle 6 was the worst for me. I put so much pressure on myself to make it work. I got KU relatively easily the first time around and I couldn't believe that this was happening. But it some ways it's better now that we have started with the RE because at least I feel like I'm doing "something" if that makes sense. Anyway, I hope you won't have to worry about though. FX for you!

[Deleted]

What are you doing this month? just hio with noticeable cm

Where are you at in your journey? Hanging onto hope for a few more cycles

What is your mood? yucky, but cd1 so it's allowed! I'll be alright in a day or two


QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? Danish wedding cookies; not sure why but my mom always made them at Christmas time and they are yummy!

Status:
TTC #1 for DH and #2 for me

What are you doing this month?
Charting

Where are you at in your journey?
CD9

What is your mood?
Feeling a little off this month.  I had a doctor's appointment this past week and we officially discussed that DH and I are actively TTC.  Got tested for the cystic fibrosis gene so awaiting results for that (no real worries though) got some additional instructions since the last doctor's visit and we were still just thinking about TTC.  But DH is headed out of town to talk about a potential job so we may be starting a transitional period.  I'm struggling with this potential change a little bit because it will take a little more planning on our part and DH is not great about planning.

Ouch, sorry about the novel.

QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? All the comfort foods (turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, gravy, lots of desserts)

[wannabmama]

wirt2cute I've grown to really like the Pom juice...I'm not sure it's doing anything for me but I at least like it, ha!
sleepymonkey my cycles were always pretty much clockwork until ttc, even with my mirena in and then taking it out, nothing much changed. Now...all over the place. I wonder if stress has snugging to do with it.
caer mmmm peppermint bark!
@kellbell I love those cookies, too! My mom called the snowpuffs!
ladystrat I was going to eat better and workout more this cycle, too....but...well...hasn't happened!
badwolf the uncertainty and change is a challenge in the midst of ttc that's for sure, hang in there!!
AFM,
Status: ttc #1 for 14mo
What are you doing this month? Clomid, iui, some HIO, Pom, bbt
Where are you at in your journey? CD15, guessing IUI will be Fri or Sat.
What is your mood? Really anxious and trying to stay positive.
QOTW: I always have one gingerbread latte (with whip) and one caramel apple cider from Starbucks during the season. I also really like this cranberry bread I make. And eggnog...and mulled wine.

[beachdreamer]

Cycle 2 TTC #2

What are you doing this month?
OPK, BBT, pomegranate juice, prenatals, B6, exercise, pre-seed, and sex

Where are you at in your journey?
CD5

What is your mood?
So so….Hopeful for this month, anxious for next week (WTO), nervous because this month's timing is so close to when we conceived DS, in general happy over this awesome weather we are having right now. Yep, a bit all over the place!

QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat?
Sweet treat has to be all the cookies!!! Also love the turkey and stuffing .

[tiresiastheblond]

Thanks for the check-in, wirt2cute. Feel better!
sleepymonkey, I'm sorry you're feeling anxious. FX this is your cycle.
caer, glad you're feeling relaxed! TTC gets so exhausting.
@kellbell, sorry about CD1.
ladystrat, I hope you're wrong about missing it this time.
badwolf, I'm sorry the potential changes have you feeling stressed. If they materialize, I hope it's for the good!
wannabmama, Good luck with your IUI! Everything crossed for you!
beachdreamer, welcome to the board, and good luck this cycle!


Status: TTC #2 since January 2014


What are you doing this month? FET of 2 PGS-normal embryos (hopefully)

Where are you at in your journey? Baseline apt is tomorrow. If everything looks OK, I start follistim shots for low-stim FET protocol Thurs.

***LC mentioned***

What is your mood? Tired. I have a horrible job interview next week, which I should be preparing for, and DD is out of school with pinkeye AGAIN. (Her pediatrician says being out of daycare with ~12 minor illnesses a year is normal. Who knew?)



QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? I'm too burned out on halloween candy right now to think about it.

[caer]

wannabmama - I hope the IUI goes well! Keeping everything crossed for you.

*LC mentioned*
tiresiastheblond - when DS was in daycare, our pedi told me the same thing. That I should expect one illness per month. It's crazy!

[wannabmama]

tiresiastheblond sorry about the LO's pinkeye! As an adult who has almost zero exposure to kids, I still get it once or twice a year...it's a mystery! A woman in my office always makes fun of me bc I get strep and pinkeye more than any adult with no kids around ever should, ha!
Good luck with the FET this month!!

[hammysmommy]

Status: Cycle 4 TFAS  (9 months of NTTP without knowing if my ovulation issues were "resolved" by my pregnancy)

What are you doing this month? PNVs, levothyroxine, letrozole, OPKs

Where are you at in your journey? CD3. Picking up letrozole to take tonight.

What is your mood?  Meh.  Give me all the chocolate.

QOTW: The holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat?  Christmas butter cookies with homemade icing

[hammysmommy]

wirt2cute - hope you feel better!  sinus infections are evil.

@kellbell - I loved the one Danish wedding cookie that I had... until my mouth got all hive-y from the nuts I didn't know were in it!

I may have to try POM this month - my flow's been very light and nearly non-existent today (which is only 2 1/2 days after it started so, that's weird {for me})

wannabmama - crossing everything for you!

tiresiastheblond - GL tomorrow! (and for the interview next week!) 

[bazinga]

Thanks for the check in wirt2cute. Hope you get well soon.

sleepymonkey, sorry you're feeling anxious. FX for you this cycle.

caer, I also kind of like the first week after O. Nothing more we can do, so it's easier to relax about TTC.

Sorry for CD1 @kellbell.

ladystrat, I googled! I think I'll be making a purchase!

badwolf, I hope that if YH does get a new job it still works out for the best in the long run. Uncertainty can be hard.

wannabmama, good luck for your IUI, I hope the timing works out as you're hoping.

Good luck to you beachdreamer, tiresiastheblond and hammysmommy.

AFM...
Status: TFAS, cycle 2 AL.

What are you doing this month? PNV, CM, BBT, EOD

Where are you in your journey? CD 17, waiting for CH, hopefully tomorrow.

What's your mood? I think temping increases my anxiety...

GTKY: Sweet mince pies and mulled wine.

[Deleted]

That packaging is hilarious ladystrat, !

[bazinga]

What are they thinking with that packaging!?!

[jwinct]

I was at a seminar all day yesterday, so I missed this! Good luck to everyone this cycle!!
ladystrat - that packaging is hilarious, yet not cool at all. LOL

Status: TTC #3


What are you doing this month? Charting BBT & CM, PNVs, sex


Where are you at in your journey? Cycle #3, CD14


What is your mood? Good! Though, I still can't shake the feeling that I'm not going to be able to get pregnant for some reason. My mood is still good, though, because I found out our DCF homestudy was finally approved, so we should be getting issued our license really soon. DH and I agreed that if we can't get pregnant, we'll proceed with trying to foster-to-adopt; we'll basically see what happens first. If we get chosen as an adoptive family before getting pregnant, then we'll stop TTC, and vice versa.


QOTW: Thw holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? Oh boy, there are so many. I'm not into pie, but I love chocolaty things like fudge and cookies. Some of my favorites that I make are Oreo Truffles, Peanut Butter Temptations and Chocolate Orange Meltaways.
Oh, I nearly forgot... the one time a year I go to Starbucks is during the holiday season because I LOVE their Chai Eggnog Lattes. So flipping good.

[Deleted]

Wonderful for your go ahead jwinct, I wish you well!

[lennonkdc]

Was busy with Election Day fun yesterday and didn't get a chance to post. Sending hugs and good vibes to all!

Status: 6 months/ 5th cycle TTC#1

What are you doing this month? Sex, PNVs, probiotics, green tea, more water, eating slightly better, no coffee (sooo cranky), temping and pineapple core after confirmed O

Where are you at in your journey? CD 17, and I think 2DPO based on temp/CM, but will know for sure tomorrow...

What is your mood? No clue. On one hand I feel good about our timing, but I still can't shake this feeling that its not gonna happen for us. I am encouraged by H's attitude towards TTC, he wanted to know when it was 'go time', he has cut way back on the beer and coffee and started taking supplements too. He's even been 100% on board with seeing an RE if necessary. Considering how on the fence he was this spring, his encouragement/excitement over expanding our family makes my heart happy. But it will also really make me sad if we don't conceive soon, if that makes sense.

QOTW: The holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? I love pie- apple and pumpkin especially. And I make orange cardamom shortbread cookies that are to die for!

[caer]

wannabmama - how did the IUI go (if you don't mind me asking)? Thinking of you!

[wannabmama]

caer it went well! H's numbers were surprisingly high for him, so that's great. I had some cramping but nothing too bad, I'm just super sensitive I think! Oh man...two weeks feels so freaking long right now! Thanks for asking!!

So happy to hear everything went well! I'm crossing everything so hard for you. I hope the next two weeks fly by. Also, happy "love your lawyer day!" I posted this on my bmb but I'll share here too:

[wannabmama]

caer hilarious!!
H and I were laughing how none of our clients appear to celebrate this "holiday" ha!

[kekaellypula]

What are you doing this month? 375 Follistim and Trigger, IUI, rest, exercise

Where are you at in your journey? TTC#1, IUI#2

What is your mood? Hopeful. The sample was much better than last month and I feel better than last month. I'm looking forward to this TWW for 2 reasons. 1) See if I get a BFP 2) I get to see my wife graduate from USAF BMT. I miss her a lot.

QOTW: The holidays are coming, what's your favorite holiday treat? Not having to work. Pie. Cookies.
