Hope I'm not usurping this responsibility but I figured I would go ahead and post it for the board (plus the board is slow lately....)

Congrats again to glauren on her BFP! 

1.  Where are you in your TTC journey?

2.  Anything interesting/funny/neurotic to share TTC related?

3.  What are your plans for the Superbowl?  Any interesting pools, games, etc. re: the football game or the commercials?

[simpsongal]

1. Cycle 2, CD 17, either 5 or 7 DPO

2. I've been excited about my plan for telling DH about a BFP - I want to put it in a fortune cookie b/c we get Chinese pretty often. But we also call babies "footballs," so I just ordered Redskins onesies. It might be a game time decision, we'll see.

3. We're going to a friend's house. They're excellent cooks so I'm pretty excited. Last year we did an over-or-under on commercials with talking animals. Not sure what we'll do this year.

Thanx for posting I couldn't think of a QOTW.

Congrats to glauren on her BFP!!!!!!

1. Cycle 4 CD 5.

2. I'm going out to buy a thermometer today, so I can temp now. Hopefully ill keep it up this time.

3. I'm working on Sunday. So no real plans but DH is having some friends over to watch the game.

Edit: I got my cycle wrong, lol.

Thanks awick!  I think it would be tough to actually put it in the fortune cookie & reseal the package.  So I have a rather elaborate plan.  I'm going to disgard the second cookie so there's only 1 (sometimes our Chinese place shorts us a cookie).  I'll start opening it and he'll realize there isn't another in the bag.  I had the cookie last time when we shorted one, so I'll hand him the opened cookie w/unread fortune (after slipping the new fortune in).  If he insists I keep it, I'll read it to myself and just hand it to him and say "this one's definitely for you" (another thing we tend to say).

that's a cute idea simpsongal!~

[annabear07]

1) Cycle 4 CD9

2) My temps are a little higher than "usual" lately. It's a little frustrating but I'm trying not to read into it too much. I haven't been sleeping well so that might be the culprit.

3) Our friend usually has a superbowl party where we eat ridiculous amounts of food and more than one person passes out from a food coma...Hoping that happens again this year!

[FastHands]

Fortune cookies were going to be how we told our family if we got pg on our CA vacation (San Fran is considered the birthplace of the modern fortune cookie) as we had hoped. They have places online where you can order them with custom fortunes.



I want chinese food.

[magpie]

1. Cycle 4, 4dpo.

2. Nothing much this time. I'm feeling rather zen (and hopeful) this time. If this were the cycle, the due date would be my DH's birthday! I am trying to think positive and enjoy life at the moment without stressing out too much.

3. I think we are going to a Super Bowl party. I didn't think any of my friends were into sports, so I'm curious how that'll go. I don't even know who's playing (obviously not a huge football fan here, lol!).

[linz]

Cycle 4, day 8. Using femara this cycle plus metformin, dr appt next week for u/s and trigger.

No plans so far for super bowl, but gonna have a drink while I can

[belovedbride07]

1. Cycle 8, CD 26, 9-10 DPO...may turn into Cycle 9, CD 1

2. Since I'm pretty sure this cycle is a bust anyways, I kinda wish my period would just hurry up and get over with (I'm spotting badly, but no flow yet). Getting it today will be good for bloodwork scheduling, too.

3. No plans.

1 - cycle 2 7DPO (going crazy since it is too early to test)

2- DH's birthday is Sunday (10dpo) and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be able to tell him I am pg. I ordered a card on etsy ... the front has pink & blue balloons coming out of of a box and the inside says "happy birthday daddy! I can't wait to meet you in October!" I realize this is totally crazy but it was only $3.50 so I figured what the heck 

3 - going to NYC for the weekend

We're TTC twins!

[thoseareradishes]

1, Cycle 9, CD9

2. Apparently, gearing up to ovulate. I feel like it is so early - only CD9 - but I got a positive wondfo this morning. Since my wondfos last month seemed dark, I splurged and got a box of digitals. Also positive. So. I also have some twingey ovary pain, so I guess we better get a move on.

I had an ultrasound done before Christmas to check my fibroid and to see if I had any cysts since I've been having some pain. Thee were two cysts, one small one on each ovary. Anybody know if these could be causing my OPKs to be darker than normal? Is this a totally stupid question?

3. We'll probably watch for the commercials.

[awick14]

Merida- it sounds alike you need a new tradition.

[vmars]

1. CD29, 10DPO - started to spot this afternoon, and feeling like AF is coming despite temps going up this morning...blah :^) Going to try and hold off testing until Friday/Saturday.

2. I am in the general 2WW mind fuck...and I can't stand it...my timing was spot on, I ovulated, and now...let's get this party started uterus!

3. No plans as of yet, just not feeling it this year.

[Deleted]

1. Where are you in your TTC journey? Cycle 1, CD22, DPO unknown (only just started temping)
2. Anything interesting/funny/neurotic to share TTC related? In 2WW, desperate to test, but know that it is highly unlikely I am pregnant.
3. What are your plans for the Superbowl? Any interesting pools, games, etc. re: the football game or the commercials? I'm not American and I live in England so I don't even know who is playing. Sorry!

[vmars]

Thanks TR! I hope so, but I also do not want to get my hopes up b/c I spotted like this last cycle and AF came 2 days later. Btw, whenever I see your screen name I think of the town I live in (it has the same abbreviation! lol)

[krystee]

1.Cycle 2, CD 14
2. We decided not to try this month because we're moving in late Feb or early March, and I want to have energy and do a lot of heavy lifting. Then we decided to try anyway. Then my chart told me I O'd on day 9 (seems way early for me since I have a 30-day cycle!), so there will definitely not be a cycle 2 baby. We'd find out about a cycle 3 pregnancy right in between my mom's and H's birthdays, so I am hoping it works next month!
3. I sort of forgot it was Super Bowl this weekend. I mean, I knew it was the first weekend of February, but I didn't realize it was already HERE. No one is having a party this year, but we may watch it with my parents or our BFFs. Or, we may decide to just make some fun apps together and watch it at home because H worked all last weekend and we're going on vacation the next weekend. Some time at home might be nice!

FX simpsons!

LOL - I meant to say that you and I are on the same schedule (Cycle 2, I'm pretty sure I'm 7 DPO).  I'm not sure how one tries to conceive two babies.  I might have a decent shot though, I am a fraternal twin.

Merida - that stinks.  I hate going to "parties" thrown by people who don't know how to throw a good party.  The Super Bowl is a sit-down event, you need seats!!  One time I went to a NYE party in high school, it was so lame.  We didn't even watch the ball drop - it was mostly people sitting in chairs around a room and trying to make conversation.

[vmars]

And AF is here bah humbug!

[Cricket0619]

1. Af just came, so on to cycle 4.

2. not that I can think of.

3. Friends invited us over, but we are getting back that night from Hawaii and will be exhausted I'm sure.

[pooh8402]

1. Cycle 2 CD 23 possible O on CD 21.

2. My cycle is wonky since I started night shifts a couple weeks ago. I think it stressed out my body so it won't O. CM is all over the place.

3. No plans, which is weird. H amd I usually have plans.
