2) Tested a few times b/c I've felt pinching and off but BFNs all 'round. I feel some hope though b/c I checked my chart from last time and I didn't get a BFP squinter with a wondfo until 12 DPO.
3) I've fallen victim to all the head-case stuff I did last time. But I'm not temping yet or using OPKs...maybe next month just to confirm things.
4) DH doesn't want me drinking so close to implantation time - it's been a tense subject for us. I'll take a FRER Saturday morning (12 DPO). If it's negative, I'm drinking on GD fourth of July.
1) Kid #2, Cycle #3417 (it feels like it, at least!), 2DPO. We did IUI this cycle.
2) Nope... had bloodwork this morning to verify I ovulated but still have time before a legit BFN/BFP
3) We are 99.9% sure this is our last IF-medicated cycle. I am praying for a miracle over here! I don't know what's next if BFN.
3) Lots of pool time, bbq, and fireworks! No drinking for me... I've put too much into this last cycle and if BFN I want to feel like I put everything I had into this!
Posting b/c I'm anxious about TTC right now @idaholakelady
1) Where are you in your TTC journey? (kid #, cycle, CD/DPO)
2) Testing soon?
3) Other feelings about TTC to share or questions to ask?
3) Weekend plans? If you're in the 2WW will you be drinking alcohol?
1) Kid 2!! I am somewhere between 2 and 7 DPO, I couldn't tell this month.
2) not testing until the day after my 30th birthday (July 11) if AF hasn't arrived
3) I am almost positive we are out this month. I'm surprisingly ok with it. I want to skip next month because my EDD would be my SIL's birthday and I just can't deal with hearing her squeal about that. Ha, that is terrible.
4) Splash park tomorrow followed by a tap room (So YES YES YES to drinking alcohol during the 2ww), parade and camper on Saturday.

1) Where are you in your TTC journey? (kid #, cycle, CD/DPO) TTC #2, cycle 1, 7(ish) DPO
2) Testing soon? Many of you responded to my "early pregnancy signs" question yesterday. I'm going to try and wait to test until July 11th, which is J's birthday party. It will be suspect if I don't have a drink.
3) Other feelings about TTC to share or questions to ask? I'm getting in my head about it. I thought I wasn't truly ready to be pregnant again but I think I will be disappointed if it didn't work, which means instead of loosely trying next month, we will be actually trying.
3) Weekend plans? If you're in the 2WW will you be drinking alcohol? We are going to the zoo tomorrow, DH is running a race the morning of the 4th, and going to watch the horses run on the 5th for FIL's birthday. Yes to the drinking.

Not quite yet, couple more months, because I want to be done with grad school and head to Spain before #2 comes. However, I have to wean off my back medication, and I'm not looking forward to that.
1) Where are you in your TTC journey? TTC #2, Cycle 6ish, CD 14
2) Testing soon? No
3) Other feelings about TTC to share or questions to ask? Just my usual WTF is going on with my body and why can't it be normal. I feel like I'm in a weirdo limbo place because I don't think my issues really classify me in the infertility/TTTC group, but I was super spoiled that it took 2 cycles last time and this is month 8 with long/irregular cycles. But then, because everything is so off, we haven't had good timing, so IDK.
4) Weekend plans? If you're in the 2WW will you be drinking alcohol? No real plans. We have to go to a memorial for DH's Uncle on Sunday. I'm not drinking much because it uses up too many WW points lol.
TTC #2. Just waiting for AF so we can start another FET cycle. My periods have been wonky the past few months so it could start anywhere from 1-4 weeks from now :/

1. TTC#2, Cycle #3 2. Not for another week or so probably 3. I'm much more anxious about TTC#2 than I was about #1....It feels like it will be a whole different ballgame. 4. Meeting up with a friend to have a playdate, I will drink until I get a positive test, so yep!

I think I remember reading that red wine can aid in implantation. Maybe use that as your argument.
Really though, I think you are fine to drink and I'm sorry it's a disagreement between you. It's hard to restrict yourself ttc because you don't know how long it will be and then once you are pregnsnt you will be restricting.

simpsongal, booze while ttc/pregnant/nursing is an issue between H and I too. He is very cautious and anxious but it's ME that is most affected by these things, not him. Grr.
Yeah, it's easy to "play it safe" when you're not the one giving something up. And it's hard to get angry and assertive over this b/c it makes me feel like alcoholic. But I like to drink and often, so this really is ticking me off..... At least he's only been this way when I'm ~7 DPO or later.
Thanks to OP about red wine assisting implantation - I will be mentioning that!

1) TTC #2, Cycle 1, CD 40 (Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), DPO who the fuck knows?
2) I have now peed on something every 2-3 days since June 20. I had a squinters, which you all saw, but have had all stark white tests since. So where in the blue fuck is my period?! This is totally fucking with my life planning spreadsheet (@vicmo).
So legit question, what do I do if I don't have my period by Monday? My IUD came out on May 19.
3) we are at the lake!
4) I just cracked a beer. It's noon, after all. I will drink until I see a positive test and H knows the dirty looks he'll get from me if he says anything. Like @this, I MUST DRINK ALL THE THINGS while TTC.
DH has no idea where I am in my cycle. Or what a cycle even is. lol
TTC from my H's perspective:
1st of the month - this is depressed about a BFN, but happy to be able to keep drinking! 12th of the month - "Hey, we have to do it a bunch!" 20th of the month - this pees on fucking everything for like two weeks straight 1st of the month - this is depressed about a BFN, but happy to be able to keep drinking!
Lol yeah, H was pretty clueless. The first time he knew I had ovulated (I told him because it was my first cycle off BCPs and he knew I had no idea what my body was doing), he knew we had sex when I told him. Then a couple of weeks later I showed him a positive pregnancy test and he thought it was another positive ovulation test and got excited for more sex. Lol no dude.
TTC #2, I had a miscarriage a couple months ago and only 1 period since, so I'm not sure my cycle is entirely back on track (I don't temp or really track).
I've been feeling a bit off the past couple days that I've been attributing to other things but I think I'm going to test tomorrow before going out of town for the weekend!
I do not love being pregnant so I am really discouraged about "starting over" after the m/c.
Gong to visit my parents for the weekend. I'm not a big drinker, so very likely no drinking for me.
Idaho, what were your cycles like pre kid? I've always been a super strict 28 day person (like maybe varying +/- a couple of days) so 40 would be insane. But I don't know anything about iuds either.
It was pretty regularly 28-32 days. I keep getting cramps, digestive issues and sore boobs, but no period. Weird. I'll call on Monday.
I was having spotting every 31 days for the last year, through April. Then I had a crazy 47 day cycle (but still with the IUD in), then IUD out at my annual physical and a 35 day cycle. My thyroid medication was also increased at my annual. A lot of moving parts there, all of which could be the cause.
I think I am 4DPO. I'm holding off testing until next Friday so I can know if I should be drinking.
Today my BFF came over with her daughter. It was a blast but also a moment where I thought that people that have 2 young kids are crazy. It's good I already ovulated or I would be thinking twice about this. Next month I will either be pregnant or forgot about this crazy Ness.
This weekend I am drinking and floating in the lake. And then drinking some more.
1) Where are you in your TTC journey? TTC our second kid. This is cycle 14 and our 7th medicated one. I am on CD 12 and we trigger tonight and have our IUI tomorrow.
2) Testing soon? Can't test until at minimum 9 days after the trigger, will probably hold out longer.
3) Other feelings about TTC to share or questions to ask? My anxiety is terrible right now. I'm not sleeping well, very worried we are not going to be able to have another kid at this point, or that we are going to end up with twins.
3) Weekend plans? If you're in the 2WW will you be drinking alcohol? My brother is in town and he and his wife have 5 kids. So we are hanging out with them at my parent's house, it is chaos but fun. I don't really drink much so probably not.
