Met in May 2011 Engaged November 2011 Married November 2013 Started TTC November 2015 Began Infertility Workup November 2016 BFP! Lucky #13 Cycle TTC Due Date: 9/5/2017
What are you doing to get knocked up? Temping, checking CP and CM, sex, added OPKs and will continue until O confirmed or stark white
RRCS: Anyone ever get spotting around O? I had some spotting yesterday, which was super out of character for me. Very strange.
Also, weirdest O symptom ever: I was not hungry at all yesterday. Normally I'm all ready to eat lunch by noon. Yesterday I never felt hungry enough to eat lunch. And I only ate dinner (a bowl of cereal) because I hadn't eaten all day- I still wasn't hungry.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Well, I'm in VA, so my weekend now consists of staying inside and avoiding the snow. I'm off today- my current rotation is at the state morgue, which is closed today due to the weather. I was supposed to go to a bridal shower for my cousin tomorrow, but it was postponed to next weekend (when I'm on call, so now I won't be able to go).

sanibel21 Everytime I see your avatar I crave a big fluffy cupcake.
Good morning ladies!
Cycle/Month: 7/11
CD: 4
What are you doing to get knocked up? Still waiting for AF to leave.
RRCS: DH goes for night winter mountain bike rides and I can't even mountain bike on dry conditions so those are the nights I spend home alone. And I just love them. I should start to do workouts on those days instead of sitting on the couch watching Netflix but oh well. Maybe next week. I'm so lazy!
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Nothing crazy. Weigh in tomorrow for week 2 of my diet. I did good so I am hoping for a loss. Then after I'm going house/condo hunting for my dad for his retirement place. He doesn't get the concept of downsizing and keeps wanting a three+ bedroom house for a fraction of the cost they are on the market for. I am trying to steer him to less maintaince properties like townhomes or condos but he never agrees. But I love spending time with my Dad so I always tag along to the open houses for his choices and add in a few realistic options during the day if they are available. We have been looking for 2 years for him lol.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Tracking BBT & CM, taking MVs, EOD once fertile window approaches
RRCS: Nothing today!
GTKY: We're just about ready to get on the road. My mom's side of the family is having their Christmas party this weekend. It should be a good time, aside from the 4-5 hour drive with the dog and the toddler. I'm excited to see my cousins though!
Thanks for starting, RajahMD. mikaela20, we love house hunting. There is a ton of new construction in our area, so lots of pretty staged houses to look at. We go all the time! Safe travels today britta!
Cycle/Month: 10/9

What are you doing to get knocked up? The usual. I am trying to use FMU for OPKs this cycle to make it a little easier on myself. I do not excel at taking them at work!
RRCS: Nothing much.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? We are tossing around a little home renovation idea. Our house isn't even 2 years old, but it is builder basic. So we are considering a plank (shiplap?) wall on our landing, or replacing the pedestal sink with a vanity in the 1/2 bath.

What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, Sex
RRCS: So FF gave me dotted CH which are super annoying to look at. I'm not sure I trust them. I *usually* have fertile CM a few days before O. Does anyone mind taking a look? www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4d824b

What are you doing to get knocked up? PNV, BBT starts on Monday
RRCS: TGIF!!!
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Zero! My H works all weekend and I thought about making some but I have had such a crazy couple weeks! I just want to sleep and lounge around all weekend.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Nothing right now.
RRCS: Back here again. Trying to enjoy not temping for a few days until AF leaves..
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? RajahMD fellow VAer over here! We're on the line of 12-20" & 24+" so I am expecting to be snowed in all weekend. Excited to play in the snow with DD once the snow stops coming down though! We pulled out all the sleds, have all the food essensials, got down the board games so we are ready

Morning! Thanks for starting at RajahMD I've experienced spotting around O. Doesn't happen every cycle, but every once in a while. sanibel21 enjoy date day with YH!!
Cycle: 10 TTCAL Cd: 6 I think WAYDTGKU: bbt. Green tea. Sex and OPKs to start soon, maybe RRCS: still don't know if we are waiting out this cycle, or if we are going for it. Doctor appt next Wednesday will decide that for us. GTKY: I'm getting my hair done.

lgraceh, do you watch Fixer Upper? That lady is obsessed with shiplap. Sorry to see you back here, pivot. kayladawn91, your CHs look legit based on temps alone, but it's hard to confirm with no secondary signs. I think you'll have more clarity in the next few days. Congrats on your weight loss, @sparky85!
Cycle/Month: 14/1AL
CD: 14
What are you doing to get knocked up? Everything
RRCS: Pretty sure I O'd already, just waiting for FF to confirm. Timing wasn't great because I'm pretty sure I missed the surge on O day, as far as sex is concerned.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend?
Kind of a quiet weekend - staying home tonight and having a few drinks with MH. Then demo starts on the kitchen tomorrow and I have a retreat during the day with my non-profit board. Snow is supposed to start Saturday afternoon so I think I'll be homebound after that.

What are you doing to get knocked up? PNV for now
RRCS:Management lunch meeting today. Do not want.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Well, I get to do porch pick up on some books I got off of our local listserv. And sew a pillow for a toddler's birthday party. And fold about 7 tons of laundry. So hugely awesome days ahead. But, no work! So actually kinda cool.

Cycle/Month: 4/3
CD: 8
What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, temping, OPKs and checking CM.
RRCS: We're going out to lunch today to celebrate mine and two of my co-worker's birthdays. We're going to a burger bar place and I am so excited for a burger, fries and a milkshake. I figured if I'm going to cheat on Whole30 I should just go all out.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Not really. A friend is coming over tomorrow and then MH works on Sunday coaching Special Olympics basketball. It'll be a quiet weekend.
pivot, sorry to see you back here. But sounds like you have a fun snowed-in weekend planned! kayladawn91, based solely on the temps I can see it, but if your CM doesn't match up, then maybe not. I would wait and see what your temps and CM do over the next few days. If temps are up tomorrow or you see any fertile CM today, I could see FF moving your crosshairs to today even (and raising coverline). Cycle/Month: 3rd PP cycle
CD: 16 What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, PNV, EOD, and trying OPKs for the first time, even though they have proven to be completely useless so far
RRCS: really hoping to O this weekend and have some good sexy time with H! Little rant--I think I will try FMU for my OPK tomorrow morning. Reading all the comments from yesterday made me feel very negative about them; I drink a lot of water and pee frequently throughout the day, and it seems crazy to me to have to force myself to hold it or not drink much just to have a shot at even a faint line. Seems like a bit of a design flaw to me and that they should make them more sensitive! I almost don't even want to use them anymore but I paid for them so I may as well keep trying for now. GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Relaxing tomorrow, and gearing up for Championship Sunday! I will be wearing nothing but Patriots apparel until then.
Thanks for starting RajahMD. I've never had lack of hunger as a symptom before....though I wouldn't mind being hungry less often lol. It would certainly help my weight loss. I'm a constant grazer.
Night+winter+mountain are not three words I would associate with a fun bike ride mikaela20 lol. I would be home on the couch too! Good luck with your weigh in.
Good luck with your drive britta! I don't envy you having to spend 4-5 hrs with a LO and dog. Sounds like the trip will be worth it though. I love spending time with my cousins.
lgraceh, do the pedestal/vanity swap! We have a pedestal in our half bath and I've always wanted the extra storage space of an actual vanity.
Yay for losing some lbs @sparky85!
kayladawn91, it does look like your temps after the CHs are in post-O temp range. It does seem weird that you haven't had any EW/W cm though.
Many hugs for CD1 pivot. Enjoy playing in the snow with your LO. Stay warm!
Yay for demo day this weekend requiressnacks! That's always very exciting (and nerve wracking lol).
Good luck with your appointment hydrangea1019. I hope it clears up your TTC plans!
Enjoy your lunch jubilantsquirrel! That sounds really awesome right now lol. I had a cheat day recently on my diet too. It was glorious.
littlelion, H and I tried ED sex a few cycles too. It's EXHAUSTING lol. It went out the window for us fairly quickly too.
dashook, I've got all my pats gear on this weekend too!
What are you doing to get knocked up? bbt, pnv, opk, cp, cm
RRCS: O day! (Pretty sure, at least.) 2nd day of positive digi opks. H is still sick, so I doubt we'll get any more sessions in this cycle. On a different note, I fit back into my non-fat jeans this morning! Still going strong with my healthier eating and feeling really good about it.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Watching the Pats on Sunday. Probably visiting my parents with DD on Sat. Other than that, low key.
requiressnacks, she really is! I was hesitant to say shiplap because of that show. This is more like a House of Smith's (blog) inspiration piece. Not so shabby chic. Haha.
What are you doing to get knocked up? Reproductive health vitamin, CM, and sex.
RRCS: Venting (see below)
*BFP mentioned*
Luckily, DH and I were able to conceive our DD on the first cycle of trying two year ago. We had a major fight two nights ago because he doesn't want to be "studded out" and wants things to happen "organically". Yes, I obviously want things to not feel forced either, but if I'm in my fertile window, then we are going to have sex. It's so frustrating. I had a really hard time with PP after DD was born and I know for my mental health, that I really need to be able to do things outside, etc. For that reason, an October baby would be ideal, but heaven forbid that I *plan* this baby.
GTKY: Any fun plans for the weekend? Like RajahMD and pivot, I am expecting 20-30 inches of snow. I'm a few miles outside of DC so I will not be getting on any roads after I get home. Woo-hoo for early release! DH is at home with DD (poor guy). Luckily, I should be Oing on either Saturday or Sunday so maybe in 9 months, I'll have my Storm Jonas baby.
Post by requiressnacks on Jan 22, 2016 11:51:03 GMT -5
jcrewgirl, I almost choked at the term "studded out." I'm sorry you guys had a fight, it's such a tough balance between just letting it happen naturally and planning. He would probably change his tune if you guys had to try longer (cycle 14 over here), which I hope isn't the case for you. Good luck!
jcrewgirl, H and I had that discussion early on, too. Now that we've been at it for 10 months, he is all on board with the planning and timing.
That being said, while I certainly wish you luck with your plans for an October baby, keep in mind that for most of us here, plans get thrown out the window. I am confused, though, by how an October birth would allow you to be outside more during the PP phase?
What are you doing to GKU? PNV, BBT, CM trying for EOD
RRCS: I should O today or tomorrow if this is a normal cycle. Temps were still low this morning but I was come than usual more sex this FW may be a problem (see below)
GTKY: We're cabin camping in the mountains this weekend and doing some desert off-roading /exploring too (arrived late last night). Which means 3 of us are sleeping in bunks in a very small shed. We may need to get creative if we're going to HIO again before O!
