1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 2 CD14
2) Any AW/Vents? I think I'm being too analytical with the opk's but I really don't think I've seen a + yet, but maybe it was + and I didn't think it was dark enough. I just want to know if I ovulate since temping isn't indicating anything! Boo!
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? I have no idea as I have barely started my Christmas shopping. I'm always so far behind for the holidays!
A friend of mine text me last night that she is 8 days late. I'm trying to be happy for her but its hard. I do not know why she hasn't POAS yet, maybe because her BF is out of town until today. Who knows. Anyways she is the friend that I have vented about before, here and her BF broke up in aug and got back together in September, and started TTC instantly!! I couldn't sleep last night after I got her text.
Edit to add: last time friend and her bf broke up she became pregnant the first month they were back together, it was not planned. (They have a 3 yr old.
Also I posted in the where is everyone thread but DH an I taking a break for financial reasons. my friends news makes this more depressing.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? I wish I could give DH my picture frame I bought him. It says I live my daddy. I wanted to put coming soon EDD month. I guess in still not out for this cycle so it could still happen but finding out friend is probably pregnant makes me less hopeful for some reason.
2). I really thought this was our month. I'm so sad --it's been a really shitty 2 months in our house (FIL has gotten much worse and dh is having a very, very hard time with it, and my work schedule has been really intense on top of that) and I'm overwhelmed with everything. I think I put too much stock on getting some good news that we've been waiting for for so long.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 8, CD 4
2) Any AW/Vents? H and I are starting to get worried something is wrong, so we're going all out this cycle - I'm temping again (which I HATE because it stresses me out so much!), and trying Mucinex and Pom. H is increasing his veggie and water intake, and we're trying the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. He's also thinking about making an appointment for a SA. Maybe we're borrowing trouble, but I just have a sinking feeling something's not right
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? Neither of our families are really big on gifts! I did get some grill accessories for H for our anniversary that I hope he'll be excited about - we don't exchange on Christmas because our anniversary is the week after.

1) Cycle 5, (waaaah) cd11
2) Not temping either not doing opks, not tracking cm...nada. I just don't care this cycle. I want to get through work, and then go on vacay and get on with 2013. I am trying to be mindful of having sex around the right times, but in general just tracking the days and not much else!
3) I am excited to give my mom her gift. It's something she really really could use right now, and I don't think she would expect so much! It was DH's idea too, which makes it even better.
2. My chart is so fucked up this month. FF is saying that I ovulated a few days ago, but I think is messed up because of a few days when I didn't temp at the normal time and woke up super hot.
3. I am giving a lot of small gifts this year, so nothing in particular stands out.
**I used to be MKE. New name, but not new poster!***
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? CD4. Back to TTC in a day or two.
2) Any AW/Vents? My H is at his last ever PhD class right now. My boss is driving me nuts. I can't wait for Friday.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? Gave my mom a Kindle Fire, and she loved it! And I got "A Light in the Attic" for my new niece. She's too young to enjoy it now, but it makes me happy to know she'll grow up having the book.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 3, CD 10
2) Any AW/Vents? Just starting opk's for this cycle. My two previous cycles were very different (47 days, then 36 days), so I'm not sure what to expect this time.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? I got DH new ugg boots (he is Australian, men/women/children - they all wear them around the house). His old ones are really ripped up and worn...he's going to be thrilled!
1) cycle 5, CD6 2) We are about to start the whole sex EOD thing and try that this cycle. I will still do OPKs starting probably day 10 just to see if I can get a +, but I'm not depending on it. 3) Ugh, I am not excited about anything at all this year.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? CD 10. Cycle 2 steady
2) Any AW/Vents? DH goes back to working 2nd shift today. We only see each other an hour a day and we decided we were going to have sex every day this cycle during my FW. We woke up today at 7. Poor guy will get to bed by 1 am and will have to be up for sex at 7. He shouldn't complain too much though.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? A DSLR camera for DH.

1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? CD 21. One more week until I can test.
2) Any AW/Vents? My manager at work is driving me crazy. It's like, as soon as she got promoted to manager, she completely forgot what it's like to be a floor nurse. We're always short staffed and it's affecting patient care. And I work in pediatrics. She's ridiculous and I'm secretly hoping she either gets fired or decides to retire soon, for everyone's benefit. .
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? I'm excited to give DH all his presents. This is the first Christmas I've been a nurse, so I feel like I can spoil him a little.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 12, Month 15, CD64, Day 4 of Provera
2) Any AW/Vents?Two of my high school friends had their babies on the 7th. One of the doesn't post much on FB so I haven't blocked her but the other was doing weekly bump pictures and had that stupid Baby Gaga thing that posted every week so I blocked her, hoping that I wouldn't have to see many baby pictures from her. Well her freaking sister has been posting pictures and stuff every freaking day about the baby. I'm getting ready to block her but she's a bit of a trainwreck so I like to keep her. So torn! H's half sister is also posting pictures of her sister's baby that was born on Monday. I hate life right now. Also, I was looking at the bump pictures on Getting Pregnant Moms on the Nest and started crying. I don't know why I do that to myself every week
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? We got H's grandfather a really cute pen set/holder in the shape of a golf bag. He loves golf so I'm excited to give that to him.

1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 100million or so, CD15, 1-2DPO
2) Any AW/Vents? I hate my chart this cycle. Stupid rocky mountains before O tell me nothing about when I O'd. I got +ish opks 2 days (usually just 1), and I've never O'd later than CD14, but you never know. Ugh!
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? We're not really doing gifts this year. I found gloves that work with a touch screen which I bought DH and myself already, guess that's my fave.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 1, CD 1. Holy moly, it's finally here!
2) Any AW/Vents? Not pregnancy related. I was asked to write a eulogy for a family member, which made me feel very honored.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? There's nothing that really stands out--maybe an apron from etsy with an orange VW bus screenprinted on it. My mom's family had an orange VW bus growing up, and she adored it. She also loves to bake, so it was a fitting gift. I also got H a bunch of aviation-related gifts since he just started pursuing his pilot's license. He will love them.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? cycle 2, CD17 (according to ff last month, I o pretty late in my cycle)
2) Any AW/Vents? I don't think my temping is reliable because the pattern is like up and down. I have started observing cm (eek!). Yesterday, my H caught me doing this and was like wth....lol. Also, I have been using cheapie CVS brand opk strips. Everyone on mm moms said there is always a lighter second line. I either don't get a second line at all or a super faint one. It's more like a shadow of a line. I am hoping this is normal.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? We are buying our angel a bike tonight. I hope he likes it.

1. Cycle to many cd 17 I o'ed today!
2. Umm my house is super clean.
3 we already got it and are using it it was from h's parents and it was a cuisnart plus coffee maker. This is the one with a hot water dispenser on the side.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? Cycle 3, cd 10
2) Any AW/Vents? I have a consult with a RE next month. I work at an academic health center & am on an insurance plan that requires me to use our university doctors. He is actually a private practice dr who only comes once/mo as an adjunct faculty member. He doesn't actually take our plan, but I figured it was worth the $100 office visit to see him and get the ball rolling on testing. I won't be able to afford IUI or IVF if that's what we need, but at least we'll know if there are any issues. I'm going to be 39 next month & have been off BCPs since January (not that we've been actively trying since then).
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? We have a small family & I convinced most of them that we should only do gifts for birthdays from now on. However, my aunt & uncle have much more money than the rest of the family & insist on showering people with presents, lol. So I will appreciate whatever they give us (something we pick or cash). ;D

This is my first "state of the ute" post; I've been trying to hang out here more, but I've been so busy I haven't had much time for Internet shenanigans.
1. Cycle 6, CD 27, 9 DPO; threatening to become Cycle 7, CD 1
2. I think it's time to find a gynecologist (I usually see a GP for my annual). Between the short LPs and the copious spotting (not to mention the heavy 7-day periods), I think something is wrong. If my cycle were "normal," I could roll with it, but I feel like I should go get this checked out...
3. I'm not really excited about anything this year. I'm having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit. :-(
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? TTC#2 for 3 years. Break cycle.
2) Any AW/Vents? Next cycle will hopefully be IVF#2.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? I don't have any specific thing this year. I guess it would have to be the Lego sets I got DD. She's the only child we buy for, so I'm always excited to see her open her gifts.
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? I have lost track on which cycle; CD 20 right now
2) Any AW/Vents? Vent: my breast have been hurting all month! ugh! Ive been sleeping with my bra on because it hurts to have it off! Booo!
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? We're gonna get Disneyland passes this year for xmas! Yay!
1) Where are you in your cycle/ttc journey? CD1 after missed mc.
2) Any AW/Vents? I am not excited about having to start again and tears come and go. I think I will get more serious about TTC after I heal. Maybe in 3-4 months.
3) QOTW - What is the one holiday gift you are most excited to give (or did give) this year? Nothing so far. People are being difficult to buy for. So I am kinda guessing willy nilly.

Hugs, mrssandro. Give yourself some time. The TTCAL board on The Bump is actually a great place to visit when you are ready to try again.
