Yep! I prefer NFL, and I'm a lifelong Broncos fan.

YAY for CD1 katespade!!! I have officially never been this excited for another person's intimate bodily functions.

[katespade]

seeyalater52 - I've never been this excited for my own! LOL.

[Deleted]

katespade - Yay! I'm so happy you're finally out of cycle limbo!!!



1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, cycle 4, CD 23, 10 DPO

2. Any testing this week?
Depends on if AF comes on Saturday or not.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
Last night was our first Irish dance class of the new season (we take a month off after Dublin Irish Festival). Now I'm in pain and both my ankles hurt. lol But it was good to get back to it!

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)?
I'm rather "meh" about football. But because I grew up in (and still live in) Columbus, Ohio...obviously, my favorite team would be Ohio State. I only tolerate watching a couple games a season, though, because watching sports tends to bore me.

[larzhope]

woot woot katespade! so happy you are on cd1!

[somersault72]

katespade,I have never been so happy for a person to start their period!!! Hopefully that never happens to you again!

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2, cycle 9, CD 12

2. Any testing this week? Follicle study today. Which I did on myself because my BFF and I have been separated due to being short staffed. 22cm follicle on left, 19cm on right, endo is 10mm. My OB's words were "picture perfect." Ovidrel Wednesday.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? My mom's 60 birthday was Thursday and her gift is a surprise mother/daughter trip to NYC the week before Christmas. She is SO excited that's all she talks about now. I am so glad she is so happy. This is something we've always wanted to do.

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)? I used to LOVE football, but different events in the past few years have made my love wane. The Bengals are still my team, but I don't watch obsessively like I used to. I don't follow college football closely, but my college team is my alma mater the Cincinnati Bearcats.

[compassrose]

A long damn time, 2nd cycle with Femara, CD6.

I submitted my tenure package today!

I don't care much about football, but SO is a die hard Miami Hurricanes fan. So we watch a lot of college football.

[HoneySpider]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 since May, Cycle 1 TTCAL, CD 25/10DPO

2. Any testing this week? BFN this morning

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? Tomorrow's my birthday!

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)? Big college football fan, my teams are Pitt & Tennessee (my alma maters). I watch some NFL but not as much as college - I'm a Dolphins fan

[sarapocalypse]

So happy for your CD1 katespade!

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, Cycle 8, CD4

2. Any testing this week?
Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
DH's birthday is at the end of the month. Gotta think of something to get him.

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)?
Not really. My extended family loves college football so when I'm with them, I'll watch it, but I don't follow it on my own. They're big Gamecocks fans (they were heartbroken when I turned down University of South Carolina for college). I have a cousin who goes to Clemson so I guess they root for Clemson now too.

[Jalapeñomel]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2

2. Any testing this week? No, I'm on progesterone to jumpstart my period, and I have a couple more days left. I did, however, get my period two days ago.  Not really sure where that leaves me, but I'm hoping that next month goes back to normal. I see the RE on Friday. 

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? I started school this week, and we have a new principal, new assistant principal, and 11 new faculty members.  Needless to say, the school is a clusterfuck, no communication, and is raising my BP.  Thankfully, my kids are awesome this year. 

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)?  I'm a fair weather fan. I prefer college football (Purdue and Iowa Hawkeyes for DH), but if I'm going for a pro team, it's the Colts.  

WHAT ABOUT SOCCER??  Anyone a soccer fan? Go Spurs! 

[grover]

1. TTC #2, cycle 4, cd 2
2. Nope
3. Not really
4. I don't watch football. I have gone to a few college games but more so for the tailgating than to watch the actual game.

[roxycarmichael]

1. TTC #1, cycle 1, CD 24, not sure how many DPO because I haven't been temping regularly enough, but based on CM I'm estimating 8 DPO.

2. Maybe this weekend because I probably won't be able to make myself wait.

3. I'm new here, so hi! I'm 40, recently married, and have 2 dogs. I'm nervous and excited about TTC. It's odd to TTA for so long and then TTC without knowing how it will go.

4. I don't really care about football, I'm not in a state that has a team and my university doesn't have a college team either so I never really got into it.

[RITS]

TTC #2. Cycle 7, cd10. DH gone this month so I haven't really popped in here much. Need to catch up!

Might start OPKs to see when I ovulate.

None and nope.

[melsamoony]

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTTC #2 cycle 2/3 cd 1 booooo drink all the wine

2. Any testing this week?
No.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I had a bad, bad, bad day today. Tomorrow is usually a day off but I have to work for a few hours so that sucks.

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team (s)?
Yes we are fans of Washington (nfl). Terrible name but I grew up here and have watched them my whole life.

Ttc #2, cd 14, dpo???

No testing

I've got nothing

I'll watch football with DH so go browns!!

[seeyalater52]

1. TTC #1, cycle 1 (!!!), CD 1/2 - I am so happy our first cycle is finally here!!!

2. Yes, I am doing CD3 blood work with the RE

3. Being back at work after being on vacation is hellish. I can't wait for the weekend. Our sperm made it safely to MA on time! We are ready to go in early Oct (stupid long cycles) pending test results.

4. I am not really a football person, but my wife is a Dolphins fan so we are a Dolphins family. Living in Patriots territory. Ugh.

[somersault72]

I'm so sorry @aliciaroset. I got pregnant with my son on the first try as well (granted that was 10 years and probably 80 pounds ago). This is all new territory and I sure don't like it.

[somersault72]

I'm very excited for you seeyalater52!! I hope everything goes swimmingly!

[compassrose]

So excited for you seeyalater52!

[PennyCandy]

1. Where are you in your journey? TTC #2 cycle 2 CD 1

2. Any testing this week? Nope

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms? It took 15 months to conceive DS so I'm having some anxiety as or 35th birthdays get closer. I don't think we'll pursue intervention if it doesn't happen.

4. Are you a football fan? If so, favorite team(s)? I'm a Broncos fan, but not die-hard or anything.

[seeyalater52]

Well, my test results are back - estradiol and FSH - and both are normal range, which is great news. They won't have thyroid and some others back until Tuesday. Unfortunately she is pretty concerned about my light/short period this cycle, so that could be a stumbling block to actually starting to try this month. They are going to check my lining along with the HSG, which will happen Monday but I'll only be CD6 so not sure how much they can tell from that.

[larzhope]

good luck, seeyalater52, they may be able to give you estrogen to thicken your lining (therefore making your period heavier)

That is what is so weird! The normal estradiol (which is estrogen) signals to the RE that that's not what the problem is. I guess we'd need to re-test it later in the cycle to get a handle on how it looks before I get my period but it's doing what it's supposed to be doing right now. Maybe it's my thyroid. Or maybe it's a fluke.

[larzhope]

huh! weird then.

[seeyalater52]

The post-HSGS cramps are murdering me. I feel so ill. I felt like a baby taking the day off from work but I'm really glad I did because I'm miserable. Of course it's an incredibly inconvenient day to be out of the office, but I'm ignoring all of my responsibilities.
