1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, Cycle 2, CD53, no ovulation based on temp, light spotting again this morning.

2. Any testing this week?
Nope, but I think I might call my doctor for an appt.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Tattoo on Friday! This is the last big piece of my sleeve. I'll have one more appointment to fill in some little spots and the background, and then it will be done.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend?
No big plans for us. H might work on Monday, because he gets paid triple time on holidays.

[RITS]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2since January. I don't know what actual cycle since DH isn't home for every ovulation. I'm currently 10dpo (first month charting).

2. Any testing this week? BFN this morning. I have cheapies so every day until AF due on Saturday (or beyond).

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I eat low carb, grain free, and sugar free and made an awesome coconut cake this week. Probably my favorite dessert since eating this way.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? Nope. DH isn't home so just hanging out.

Every time I see this thread title I think to myself: "EMPTY." lol

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, cycle...0. We may start trying for real next month after my CD3 testing and saline sono.

2. Any testing this week? OPKs this week. I got my first positive yesterday and it's positive again today. Expecting O tomorrow but we'll see how my temps turn out.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I am having a weird week. I feel very blah! 2.5 more days of work until I'm off for a week.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? No real plans. I hope it warms up a bit so we can feel like we're having one last week of summer! It's so cool today.

1. TTC #2 cycle 1 billion (😉)
2. CD 38, longest cycle I've ever had without a BFP
3. I have a doc appointment tomorrow. DH and I have discussed doing 6 more months, and then we will actively pursue adoption. I told DH he'd have to have a vasectomy before that, because, even though I can't seem to get PG now, it would be out dumb luck we'd get PG right before bringing home a baby.
3. School starts next week, so something low key. There's a carnival near by, do we may head there.

Have I mentioned that I have not done a single thing to prep for the school year? Not one. I'm going to regret it this time next week, but for now, nope!


katespade I'd love to see your tattoo...I'm hoping to finish mine this year too!

TTC#1 but the counting of time depresses me
10DPO, so I'll test this weekend if my temps stay up (so far, my chart looks good!)
It's the first day of teaching for me. My classes went well, but I hate the first week of class on campus. Too many people, too few parking spaces.
No specific plans yet, but wambam just got a new puppy (he's 5) and we have a play date to introduce them.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #1, Cycle 12, CD 13, 1DPO per trigger shot

2. Any testing this week? no

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? H and I both have been sleeping like crap the last few nights. so tired!

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? We are going to Austin. which hopefully is not underwater.

[Deleted]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, cycle 4, CD 10

2. Any testing this week?
OPKs

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I'm mostly still reeling from Sunday's GoT episode. Other than that, my life is boring this week.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend?
We might finally use our new fire pit. Perhaps we'll invite my parents/sister over...or friends. But whatever we do is going to be pretty chill.

[somersault72]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, cycle 8, CD 29, 13DPO

2. Any testing this week? Every day. BFNs.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I'm in a pretty dark place this week. Constantly being around pregnant women here at work, and being unhappy about how things are going at work in general have gotten the best of me. I'm trying my best to stay positive and keep the faith, but it's a real struggle. I did lose 4 pounds last week! I was very excited.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? Not yet. TBH, I forgot this was Labor Day weekend!

Jalapeñomel - Here's a recent picture of the whole thing. I'm getting my shoulder done on Friday, as well as a little addition to my wrist.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, Cycle 1 TTCAL, CD12

2. Any testing this week? Just OPKs

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I've got nothing.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? Hopefully relaxing! We've been on the go so much lately. I am looking forward to college football!

[katespade]

RITS - Thank you! My upper arm already has some background done on it so my lower arm looks a little less finished right now, but I'm super excited to be this close to done with it! I started on it just over a year ago.

[sarapocalypse]

That looks amazing katespade!

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, Cycle 7, CD24 1DPO

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Had consistent signs that I O'ed yesterday (positive OPK the day before, temp rise this morning, EWCM for the past couple of days, twinges of ovulation pain) so I am happy for that. Our timing has been pretty good this cycle, so keeping my fingers crossed while also trying to not get my hopes too high.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend?
My mom's birthday is next week so visiting her for the long weekend. My sister and I are taking her out to dinner Saturday.

Beautiful! I love single sleeves on women.

I think mine will end up being a really big piece but not quite a sleeve. I have my son's initials now in some Greek symbols used in chemistry. I hope to expand it to have some flasks or other chem equipment, because as it stands now, it looks too much like sorority letters. And it was always intended to be a big piece.

Mine started out as a rose, which turned into a half sleeve, which turned into a full sleeve. I have no idea how it happened, but I'm very happy that it did. lol. 😂

compassrose, love puppy playdates!

Happy back to school for all the other teachers!

TTC #2
Just O'd this weekend I think
we have baby bunnies nesting in the backyard again. my lab puppy knows they are there and is pacing by the back door. It's going to be so annoying having to leash him up for every potty break for the next two weeks
I have my fSIL's bridal shower on Saturday and we're supposed to have four couple friends over for dinner on Sunday. It may be rescheduled though.

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC#2, Cycle 4, CD 1

2. Any testing this week? Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? This last cycle was 25 days and based on temping I didn't ovulate. So that's awesome

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? It's H's birthday Saturday, so we're having a date night Friday. Dinner with the ILs Saturday and dinner with my family Monday. So basically we're just going to eat all weekend

[melsamoony]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #2 Cycle 1 CD 17. I think I may be 2 dpo but waiting for crosshairs.

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Can't think of any.

4. Do you have any fun plams for Labor Day weekend?
We are going to the lake with my in-laws it should be fun. Unfortunately we wont be able to leave until after work so we will get in late.

[fancynewbeesly]

1. Where are you in your journey? Not sure actually. We had an early MC in June, so we just started TTC again--however I haven't been temping consistently yet. So I guess it is the first cycle

2. Any testing this week? nothing yet

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I don't want to go back to work yet. This summer was a rough summer for us, for a lot of reasons--so I didn't get a mental break. And now work starts again. I did realize that if I do conceive this time-not very likely due to temping, not sure WHEN I ovulated, my due date would be our DD's birthday.

4. Do you have any fun plans for Labor Day weekend? Nothing--just school prep and stuff.

New addition to my sleeve:

[tacom]

Where are you in your journey? TTC #1 since... Friday.

Original plan was to wait one more month but we're vacationing in Turks & Caicos and decided it felt right. 😜

I'm not temping or using OPKs but I've logged my cycles religiously for years and have a general idea of when I'm likely to O. We are young and have time so we will see how this works for us
