1. Where are you in your journey? TTCAL Cycle 1, CD3 I have never been so happy to have my period!!! lol
2. Are you testing this week? No, but this reminds me I need to buy more sticks for my CBEFM
3. Any vents, thoughts, etc.? I'm so thankful to finally have the m/c process over with.
4. Favorite holiday tradition? We're doing an advent calendar this year with our toddler and it's so fun to see him get SO EXCITED about the little box and the piece of candy and activity we do each night.
1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 15, CD 23 I think.
2. Are you testing this week? - Nope. I am only testing if I am late and the way my body feels right now I am due to get AF any minute.
3. Any vents, thoughts, etc.? - I am so cramp, bloated and wanting to eat ALL THE FOODS. I am craving sweets and a medium rare steak. All signs of impending AF and then on to cycle 16 :/
4. Favorite holiday tradition? - We watch lots of Christmas movies in the weeks leading up to Christmas. DH works Christmas, so I generally sleep in, run, spend the day with my family or a friend and then when H gets home we open gifts together first and then celebrate with our families. This will be our first year doing Christmas with my family again, which is so much more fun, lots of games and disfunction
2) No. Although I have come CBE tests that I may try to use to track O
3) I am scared to try again. What if it doesn't work? Sigh.
4) A few years ago I started buying gifts for Toys for Tots and have continued each year. This year there is a local food pantry that is in need of toys for the kids, so I am looking forward to doing something local and smaller scale.

1. Where are you in your journey? - cycle 9 TTCAL CD9
2. Are you testing this week? - Nope
3. Any vents, thoughts, etc.? - Nope
4. Favorite holiday tradition? - White elephant gift exchange with my mom's entire side of the family. Watching holiday movies and listening to music while wrapping gifts.
3. Any vents, thoughts, etc.? I asked my mom to include me in her Christmas Novena this year. I'm not religious, but she is, and she credits her getting pregnant with me to a Marian intercession. Worth a shot, right?
4. Favorite holiday tradition? Eating sauerbratten, and more recently, meeting my cousin at a specific bar the morning after Christmas day for an alcoholic brunch.
1. Where are you in your journey? Cycle 3, TTC#2 2. Are you testing this week? Nope, still waiting to O 3. Any vents, thoughts, etc.? My mom is being dumb. She has this thing about the women in our family being SUPER fertile. The fact that DH and I got married in OCT and are not yet pregnant makes her think there is something wrong with DH's sperm... Ok... chill out woman! I spent time explaining the charting deal and the odds of conceiving each cycle for a healthy couple. I don't think science is going to convince her. 4. Favorite holiday tradition? Singing carols and driving around to see Christmas lights.

this is THE WORST. plus, it sets up potentially unrealistic expectations for your own fertility. my mom has warned me FOR YEARS that i always need to be on BC if i don't wanna PG, because "we're super fertile, blah blah blah". WELP, 13 cycles later i have no baby, so thanks mom.
