1. CD 1,000,000 (or 42) still no sign of AF or BFP. Looks like I'm annovulatory. Boo.
2. finally started hitting me how much this cycle sucks. Luckily, I had the morning off and got a little cry in without DH having to see it.
3. South Africans aren't big ToTers but last year one group of kids came to our apartment building and rang all the bells. But we didn't have ANYthing in the house for them. Not even baking chocolate. So this year, I will be prepared. Just one small bag of candy in case they come.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD 24..4 days to Test day
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? My chart looks pretty this month but what it doesn't tell you is that I was very sick with the stomach flu on the day my temp spiked. We BD'd 6 times prior to this and nothing after for 2 days. I am not going to be devastated like last month. I already told myself that if doesn't happen this month I am buying some new bra's! Odd but at least a little positive.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? DD loves ToTing SO much. She is excited. I always buy a big bag from Costco. DH wants me to do the walking around again but I am going to hopefully convince him just leave it outside while we ToT.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD7. I O'd on CD20 last cycle, but I was sick with a fever for a week in the beginning of that cycle, so I'm thinking it delayed things. I'm interested to see when I O this month. I've started B vitamins and for some people they speed things up and for others they delay them.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I got a pedicure yesterday, I'm getting a massage today, and getting my hair done tomorrow. It's a beauty week
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We don't get any. We live in a small neighborhood of only about 20 houses with no kids. I always give good candy
1. Cycle 3, CD16, and I probably O'd yesterday or will today. Signs point to yes.
2. Had a very rough night last with work, wish I didn't have classes today so I could do something therapeutic, like bake chocolate chip cookies then eat them all...also DH wasn't in the mood last night and it was my last effort for this cycle. We're so not getting pg this round.
3. We get a small amount, and I love it. DH thinks it's weird how excited I get, but I love handing out candy and watching like a Hitchcock movie on Halloween. I buy the good stuff!
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle I don't care to count anymore, CD16, 3DPO, probably. Not sure due to evil flu of death.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I hired a cleaning lady, which makes me happy, my kitchen has never been cleaner than right now. It also makes me feel a little guilty as I'm here sitting behind my computer, basically just playing instead of cleaning my own house. I'm sure the guilt will pass.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? Nope, no Halloween here We do have St. Martin's, which is also a candy giving holiday, no costumes, but kids come by the door and sing a song and collect candy. I usually give small (bit bigger than the miniature versions you get in the US) candybars (usually have a small variety, mars bars, snickers, twix, whatever so they can choose). The amount of kids we get by and what time they come/whether I'm home on time varies greatly, so I like to buy stuff I will eat myself :-)
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 1, day 44. I'm so sick of waiting for my body to get with the program. It's frustrating and kind of making me depressed. I know that it's "normal" for coming off BC, but I wish it would just hurry up. The good news is that if the temp changes/cm that I caught 12-13 days ago were really signs of ovulation, AF should be here pretty soon.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share?
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood that people shuttle their kids to from all over town for Halloween so we typically get hundreds of trick or treaters. It is a lot of fun, but we always run out of candy (i buy twice as much every year!) and have to hide with the lights off eventually!
Vent- just made an appt with a fertility specialist. We have one more shot beforehand and i'm reallllyyy hoping it works out before we have to start that process.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy?
We usually get about 15-20... of course good candy, we have to eat the leftovers
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 5, cd18
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? blah. I'm frustrated. Normally I have a very apparent temp spike for O, but this month it has been more of a slow climb. I'm waiting for cross hairs to see what ff thinks, cause I'm not sure. And I'm not sure how accurate my CM data is, because I have a hard time distinguishing CM from semen. Aaaand we've been doing so much sexing that I'm just exhausted. If this month isn't the month, I might cry.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? I would think we would get quite a few, because we have lots of kids in our neighborhood. But I don't know if we'll be at home to hand out candy 'cause I want to take L out. He's going to be dressed up as a minion.

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 1, day 37.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I'm tired of waiting for AF. I'm going to test this weekend once DH returns from a business trip. We were TTA this month, so I'm a little nervous. I'll be a little sad if I've already had my last glass of wine and I didn't get to say goodbye.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We just moved to a new apartment so I have no idea whether we'll get any. At our last apartment, we left our lights out and hid in the basement to avoid ToTers, lol.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 3, CD16. I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday -- saw the first somewhat-higher temp this morning.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? DH fell asleep before I came to bed last night (he crashes hard/fast, and there is NO waking him once he's out), and it was the end of my FW (or maybe actually beyond it, but STILL! lol), and I was so upset. It's not like we hadn't been taking advantage of the window, but I wanted to take ev.er.y. advantage. SIGH. lol. Ridiculous, but I can't help it.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? Dude, I have good candy. And I sit at the end of the driveway so they don't even have to walk the short distance to the door. And I bring my awesome/nonthreatening/dressed-up dog.... and I get like 3 kids. It makes me so mad every year! I'm tempted to be a scrooge and stay inside and turn the light off this year.
Blindy - I'm in the same boat. We've had so much more sex than usual, and I am exhausted (in addition to the trouble with semen vs. CM).
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? TTC for 13 months, CD 15. I had a positive OPK and EWCM on CD13, but still no temp spike. I got a new thermometer this cycle and am worried that it's not working as well as my last one. Or, maybe I geared up to O, but didn't actually O yet. I don't know....
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have an appointment with my OBGYN next month. It is scheduled as a fertility appointment, but I'm really hoping it ends up being my first prenatal.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? Yes, we probably get 15 - 20 groups. We get normal, mini candy bars, but usually give out a handful to each kid. I always buy candy that I love so that I can eat whatever is left over.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 3of "really" trying
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? not really... just hate the waiting period!
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? I hand out full-size candy bars since we only get like 20 TOTers... I need to buy some fun sized ones this year though... it is the first halloween that we have had sidewalks... so we may get more!

1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey?
Cycle 2, 8dpo
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have been feeling crampy for two days solid. Not pms crampy, more like constipated, bloated crampy. Oh and so gassy. Boobs sore off and on. I would love, love, love to believe that all these are pregnancy symptoms, but this ain't my first time around the block so I am assuming it's all in my head.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? Yes. We get a lot of kids in our neighborhood from Baltimore City since we are near the city limit, but in the county. Plus, awe have a lot of kids in our neighborhood. We get a fair amount of TOTers and it's usually so fun to hang out with all the neighbors. We only hand out candy we would eat if we do not give it all away (Reeses, Milky Ways, Snickers, mostly chocolate)!
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 6, CD 20.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? This past weekend I told my mom that we are TTC. She tries so hard not to pry but I know she was dying to know. She is very excited but I think she feels sorry for me that it isn't happening right away. One of my sisters got pregnant on the first month with all 4 pregnancies! :-| I'm trying not to get too stressed out/bummed but as you all know, it's not easy. I hope I don't regret telling her.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We get a few. I only buy candy I don't mind eating if there is any left over.
I thought I would use this post introduce myself. We are in the middle of our first month TTC.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Cycle 1, CD 24.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have a terrible cold. I work with kids, and am fanatic about handwashing/purell/etc, but alas, here I am in bed, sick!
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We live in an apartment building-and the kids sign up to come. This year we have a party to go to, so we won't be home to hand out candy.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? Month 14, CD 7
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I have been feeling better this week and haven't broke down yet! H and I met w/ his urologist last week. With meds, his testosterone levels are in the normal range, but it can take 6 - 12 months to determine if it will affect his sperm. That sucks. I am not sure how we are going to proceed. I need to call my RE to set up another appointment, but I am putting it off because I don't want to be disappointed by our lack of options.
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We get a handful. We are giving out Twix, Butterfingers, and Milky Ways. H picked it out his favorites, so he can eat the leftovers.
1. Where are you in your cycle or TTC journey? CD25, 9DPO.
2. Any news/AWs/vents to share? I just hate the waiting game. I took a test yesterday (BFN) and am waiting until tomorrow morning to test again. I really should stick to waiting at least 10 days, way too inpatient!
3. Do you get any ToTers? Do you hand out good candy? We live in a neighborhood with a ton of families, so we get a lot. Lots and lots of chocolate so there's plenty left for us
