2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc?

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol)

1. Where are you in the TTC/Cycle journey? Cycle 9, CD 14 - looks like I'm O'ing tomorrow

2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc? We are giving this cycle all we've got, since it's the last before my HSG. I got a near-positive OPK on Sunday afternoon, and thought I'd caught the tail of my super-short surge so we've had sex ED since Saturday. I was hoping for a temp shift this morning to give us a break...nope! And my OPK this morning was glaringly positive. Guess we're going to keep it up for a few more days! I'm going to be exhausted. 

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol) I plan on enjoying everything in moderation, so I don't think I'll be giving too much up...although I'll probably have to cut back on the amount of sushi I eat, which will be sad.

1. Where are you in the TTC/Cycle journey? CD 52, doctor confirmed yesterday that I did not ovulate this month. I have a bad yeast infection. They are going to check my blood and a sonogram is scheduled for tomorrow to check for cysts.

2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc? I know it's irrational to expect it to happen right away but I'm sad about all these issues coming up when we are ttc. Nothing major has been diagnosed so far but I can't help but get freaked out about fertility, especially when I start googling stuff. I got serious about charting this month and just never thought about it before. What if I haven't ovulated in the past few years and just never realized it?

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol) the jacuzzi and hot baths

[magpie]

1. Cycle 4, day 10.

2. I think that I'm going to o early this cycle. So far, I've had long cycles (35 days was the shortest), but I am still getting normalized after bcp. I felt like things were starting in my body early, so I'm started opks earlier than last month and low and behold, they are starting to get darker (not quite positive yet though) already. I guess this could be good, but it's hard to plan when I literally have no idea when I'll o.

3. I think it is already travel and active stuff. I mean, I know that I can travel, but we can't plan for any trips and adventures around the world that involve too much physical activity for now. We tried to get it out of our system with a crazy/camping and kayaking trip in australia last summer, but that only made me want to do it again! I'm also going to miss running, though I plan to keep at it once I get pregnant, I imagine that I'll have to scale back considerably over the course and eventually stop.

1. Cycle two off BC CD 13. Waiting until next cycle until TTC.

2. My first cycle was 44 days. I'm pretty sure I O'ed because there was an obvious temperature shift. I know it can take awhile but I am hoping my cycle regulates quickly.

3. This may be vain but I will miss my normal body. I am by no means super skinny but I am nervous about gaining the weight and body changes.

[gibbylod]

1. Where are you in the TTC/Cycle journey?
- Cycle 3 CD 7 (AutumnRose we're almost TTC twins!)

2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc?
- I just found out (literally 2 minutes ago) that a friend is pregnant. This is the only friend I have discussed TTC with and she said they wouldn't try for another couple months, but now she's pregnant. I'm super happy for her, but I can't help but be slightly jealous that they were successful right away and think "what am I doing wrong??" Ok, ok, I'll take it as a sign instead that my BFP will be coming soon as well.

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol)
- My figure, does that count? I don't want to sound superficial but I'm a runner and ballet dancer, so I'm used to being pretty fit. I don't care about gaining weight, but I know it will be tough at times to be limited in how I can exercise.

[simpsongal]

1. Cycle 2, CD 3 and AF is basically over. I hope our timing works out this month b/c DH is out of town for a week at the end of January. I ordered OPKs from Amazon - they should be here today.

2. I started temping a couple days ago but I think I already messed things up b/c I didn't sleep well last night and I was drinking. Guess an outlier or two is okay.
This was one of the worst AFs I've had in my life. At least it was only 2 days. I miss BCP.
I know it's stupid to put this kind of pressure on myself, but my folks are visiting at the end of February and I would love to be able to share some news with them at that time.

3. Salami - I love salami or a good Italian sub. I don't think I'm going to give up coffee cold turkey.

If it's any consolation, my SIL is about 30 weeks and she still runs 5-10 miles every couple of days.

[awick14]

1. Cycle 3 CD 25

2. I found out DH's cousin is pregnant! (explained in post DH's cousin) I tried to talk to DH last night about why this made me sad and he kept saying things like it just isn't our time yet or Our time will come! I wanted to slap him, to bad I am OOT. Lol

3. Sushi

[annabear07]

1. Cycle 3 CD 20 6DPO
2. You see that up there ^^ I O'd woohoo!! At this point I call this cycle a success whether I get pregnant or not!
3. Good soft, non-pasturized cheese!

[krystee]

1. AF is six days late. Negative pregnancy test yesterday.
2. Less than a month til we go to Florida--can't wait!
3. Drinking enormous amounts of caffeinated iced tea

[thoseareradishes]

1.  Cycle 8, 9 DPO

2.  Still waiting..I feel like I am always in the 2WW.  Just hoping so bad this is our cycle.   I feel like every month we have good timing, I ovulate and have a nice long LP, H's SA was mostly good.  So why hasn't it worked yet?      

I got free FF VIP for 5 days, so if someone signed up through my ticker, thanks, otherwise thank you FF!

3.  Probably losing sleep as I get further on in pregnancy.  I love to sleep.

[vmars]

1. Cycle 2, Day 15.

2. I am hoping to O this weekend. My clear blue easy OPKs are great but my lines still seem pretty light, but they are getting darker. I hope I don't have to wait too much longer....

3. raw Sushi

It's that time of the week again.

1. Where are you in the TTC/Cycle journey? Cycle 7; CD 6

2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc? I always worry about venting here, because I know that others have been TTC longer than me, and I don't want to offend/upset anyone. That being said... this TTC business is exhausting! (;

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol) Poached Eggs

[Cricket0619]

1. Cycle 3 not sure how many days PO 
2. To go with #1 I am not sure if I o'd early and missed it on my OPK's or if I haven't yet or at all.  So I am frustrated. I am hoping that I just didn't catch it on my OPK's because if I did I think we were good for timing sex.
3. I will miss drinking as much coffee as I usually do. 

[realpanther]

1. Cycle 3, CD 29, either 12 DPO or 7 DPO (BFN this morning; I'm hoping it's the latter!)

2. It is rainy and gloomy here and it's making me sleepy. I slept for 10 hours last night and I'm still yawning! And we are out of coffee! Gah.

3. (raw) sushi. And gigantic cups of iced coffee if I end up PG over the summer months!

[Cheesecake]

1. Where are you in the TTC/Cycle journey?
cycle 5 million and a half, CD25, 9DPO

2. Any AWs/Vents/Rants/etc?
I have no flipping idea what's up with my body, but I'm hungry all the time. It's starting to seriously annoy me.

3. QOTW (GTKY)- What are you going to miss the most once you get pregnant? (Not including alcohol)
Alcohol. period. Oh, wait, reading other responses, soft raw milk cheeses for sure. I won't be giving up caffeine or hard raw cheeses or salami or such, os I won't miss those, but good soft cheese and alcohol, I will miss.

[Cricket0619]

Oh yeah, how could I forget sushi! I will miss that.

[winecheery]

I just wanted to pop in and wish those in the 2ww lots of luck, those in their FW lots of quality ewcm and sex, and those with AF lots of hugs (and wine).

In all seriousness, good luck and good thoughts all around ladies!  (heart)

[statlerwaldorf]

1. TTC#2 for 3 years. 2WW

2. My boobs really hurt and I keep having hot flashes.  Ugh.

3. Sleeping on my stomach

[belovedbride07]

Now that the app's working for me again, I'll play.

1) Cycle 8, CD 13

2) I saw the doctor Monday and will be doing CD3 testing; DH saw the doctor today and will be doing an SA. But we're also going to try doing EOD instead if every day during my FW, and we're trying to manage my stress levels because I did some reading about its effects on conception. Very interesting, but it kind of stressed me out more!

3) I know this is going to make me sound like a curmudgeon, but I'm going to miss the boundaries normal people have for each other. I don't want anyone (except DH and doctors, of course) touching my belly, asking about my cervix, giving me unsolicited advice, etc. Or asking if "baby" wanted whatever I'm eating. I know this doesn't bother a lot of people, but having to put up with people saying dumb shit is one of my top pregnancy dreads.

Not a curmudgeon at all.
Knowing myself I will be very protective of my bump and I'm already pretty dang uncomfortable with people touching me, so I'm afraid I'm going to be slapping a LOT of hands. No means no! Also, if people who are not my super close friends ask about my cervix, I will be telling them that's none of their damn business.
Unsollicited advice will just go in one ear, out the other and if someone keeps going at it, I'll let them know they can keep talking but I'm not listening, thankyouverymuch.
If I ever get pregnant, the fact that I am will not make me public property, nor will I suddenly be interested in other peoples opinions. Anyone who knows me in person, should know this about me, everyone else can just deal. And if/when they tell me I'm moody/mean/whatever about that, I'll just tell them it's hormones and they need to get the eff away from me.

[pooh8402]

1. Cycle 2 CD 9. Just waiting for O.

2. Started night shift at work thos week.

3. Caffeine in general, coffee specifically. Necessary when working night shifts. B-)

Sent from my SPH-L710 using proboards

[daisy24342]

1) Cycle 14? ( I think), CD 31.......... And this am BFP!

2) well.....no rant here....just AW to being pregnant! I can't believe I'm saying that! Still cautious though after last months chemical pregancy.

3) I've been working on cutting back caffeine in the last couple months....so my usual 2-3 cups is going to be missed!

[sonrisa]

1. Still a year in to TTC #2, still between miscarriage and first post miscarriage period.

2. Not really.

3. Energy and sleep.  It will be harder to chase after my toddler. I hope it isn't my legs.  We'll see.
