Happy hump day ttc check in

[changedname]

Good Morning! First of all congrats to Glitzy and Chia. Huge hugs to Bronx girl - we are all thinking for you.

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle?

2) Any AWs/vents?

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree?

[changedname]

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? 8 dpiui. Did not test trigger so will probably wait for af to show.

2) Any AWs/vents? Not really, my sil had her baby yesterday - I cannot wait to have a newborn. My grandma called me this morning to say she dreamed I was pg and that her dreams always come true so fingers crossed!
I asked her how quickly they come true but she couldn't commit! ;D

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? First weekend of December we will decorate the inside and buy the tree (Douglas fir). I may decorate the outside the weekend after US Thanksgiving. I have already gone through all my decor and am so excited!

Noel, fingers crossed for you!

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Cycle 2, 2DPO

2) Any AWs/vents? It's a tough time of year for me. My mom passed away almost 3 years ago. On Friday I'm taking my kids to the cemetery to visit her grave, and I think DS1 will "get it" for the first time. I'm trying to get myself to the point where I can talk about it without crying (too much).

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? We'll get a real tree the first weekend in Dec. We may start decorating outside right after Thanksgiving.

CD12...here we go again!

2) Any AWs/vents?
Just the usual. Hoping this is the cycle.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree?
We are strictly the day after Thanksgiving, and not before. We do a fake tree. I'm kind of excited this year, as we have a great big bay window on the front corner of our house. The tree is going to look awesome there! Added bonus, we realized there are already subtle clear bulbs strung along the roofline of our wraparound porch. Exterior decor = done! Now if we could just find where they plug in...

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle?Cycle 12, Month 14, CD36, no ovulation in sight(I think? Temps are being wacky)

2) Any AWs/vents?This week has been hard. I'm sick of hearing my co-worker talking about her freaking baby all the damn time. I'm also sick of hearing co-workers talk to my pregnant c/w. How is it so easy for people to get knocked up when they shouldn't be? There's also been about a million pregnant women in my store the past couple days. Stupid Valentine's Day pregnancies.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? We usually decorate around the beginning of December. AFTER Thanksgiving. I want a real tree but it's a hassel in an apartment so we have a fake. I'm not really in the Christmas/Holiday mood this year though.

1) Not really sure. I got pg my 1st month TTC in June which ended in a missed miscarriage and technically this is our first month trying again.

2) I have a few friends that just found out they were pg. It would be pretty fun to all have babies around the same time. Here's hoping...

3) We got our permit to cut our tree down in the mountains on 12/1. We do it with a group of friends every year and tale gate and make a day of it. I might try to hang some lights next week, but won't turn them on until the day after Thanksgiving. Alway a real tree.

Hugs Biogirl.. There definitely seem to a lot of pg women around right now and it can get hard.

[bronxgirl]

Thank you for the hugs.

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle?
I had a chemical pregnancy this weekend. We have one more shot at IUI and then game over.

2) Any AWs/vents?
My college firend called me last night to tell me that she is getting divorced. Then she said that her husband has been emotionally abusing her for most of her marraige. I feel so awful for her.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree?
I'm Jewish so I don't have to worry about that.

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Cycle 1 trying again after loss in August. Should be about day 14.

2) Any AWs/vents? I'm scared, yet excited that we are trying again. Hoping for a happy outcome soon! We didn't know what to do with our FSA for next year, so put $1800 in it, instead of the full $2500. Hoping for baby in 2013, but just in case it doesn't happen, we wanted to be a little bit MM too!

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? We will decorate AFTER Thanksgiving, which is really the only time you should do it. We will probably go real for the last year and will buy fake after the holidays. I think H and I are both allergic to real. We get all stuffed up when it is in the house

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Cycle 3, CD 26, 3 DPO

2) Any AWs/vents? I just really want this to work. It's probably our last shot at a summer baby that will have DH home for a few weeks with us (he's a teacher). He really can't take time off in the fall, at all. As in last time he took 1.5 days and it was hard.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? We've got the house lights on. We may skip the tree this year, but we have a fake one. Depends if we want to deal with DS vs. the tree for weeks on end.

1. Cycle 1 (does this mean the 1st month of trying?), CD 31 (first week of charting so I don't know when o was)

2. I had a massage last Saturday so I took a pg test just in case beforehand. It was negative and my H said that you're not supposed to take them until your period was late. I'm pissed I wasted the money..lol.

3. We will put up our fake tree the weekend after Thanksgiving!

[bunchkie]

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Cycle 4, day 4

2) Any AWs/vents? I always hate when I get my AF. I get so hopeful and then Bam... there it is. Mad at myself for waiting so long but timing is what it is...

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree?

I still have my Halloween stuff partially up so not until after Thanksgiving. We also love live trees so I would like it to last a few weeks.

I'm Jewish so I don't have to worry about that.

I didn't want to exclude our Jewish ttcers with that question - in Martha Stewart magazine I always see Hannukah decorations that look very pretty - beautiful blues and silvers - is that just a MS thing and you don't really go all out?

[krystee]

1. I set up a doctor's appt to change my prescription to a pregnancy-safe one. IF he okays my weight and the new prescription, this could be CD2 of cycle 1! (AHH!!!) More likely than not, I'll want one month on the new prescription to make sure it's managing my BP appropriately, and then next month will be cycle 1.

2. I had a girls' night at my house and am a little afraid to become a mom because apparently you instantly become incapable of discussing anything but babies, breastfeeding and bodily fluids. (I know this is not the case with everyone, but it is alarming how much conversation changes after kids.)

3. We LOVE Christmas. The Christmas music is already playing at our house, but we'll decorate as always on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I'm happy it's early this year.

Hugs bronx and good luck noel!

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Month 15, CD 28

2) Any AWs/vents? Nothing new.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? I am too lazy to decorate!

[geek96]

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? Cycle 5? CD 13

2) Any AWs/vents? I am joining you ladies again. DH wasn't ready when we first started. He wanted to wait until after his 30th birthday. We compromised and met in the middle and are trying again starting this month since his 30th birthday is in 3 months.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? Probably the week after thanksgiving. Fake, we bought one last year on black friday.

[statlerwaldorf]

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? TTC #2 for 3 years, CD9

2) Any AWs/vents? I'm just kind of bummed about the holidays. There is always a lot of sibling talk and it hits me pretty hard.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? The weekend after Thanksgiving. Fake. DD and I both have allergies.

[jewel]

1) Where are you in your ttc journey/cycle? TTC 14 months, CD 8

2) Any AWs/vents? Not much, just sick of TTC and hoping for a Christmas miracle here. I made an appointment with the fertility specialist, and now I feel like I want to back out. No good reason, other than I'm scared of what they'll say. No issue found = bad, but some issue also = bad. I know I need to go, and I will, I just don't want to. Boo.

3) A ton of my neighbours already have trees/decorations up for the holidays. When are you planning to decorate? real or fake tree? My husband is solely in charge of decorations. I'm happy to have them up any time now, but he'll probably wait until after Thanksgiving. He is also very anti-fake tree, but I am anti-$100 fresh tree, so we compromise on something that is reasonably priced.

[belovedbride07]

1) Cycle 6, CD 25

2) I'm hoping and praying that I have a normal LP this month, even though DH was OOT during my FW. If not, I think it's time to see if I can get in to see a gynecologist.

3) We'll be visiting family the weekend after Thanksgiving, so we'll probably decorate the weekend after that. Not sure when we'll get a tree, but it will be real.
