1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1 since May, Cycle 4, CD11

2. Any testing this week?
Yep. I'll probably start OPKs on Thursday, unless I start seeing O signs before then.

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
I WFH, and I actually got up this morning and left the house to go get coffee. At 5:30 am. Regular caffeine just wasn't enough, I needed fancy caffeine. And a muffin. lol.

4. What is your favorite holiday-season food?
Stuffing. Oh my gosh, I looooooove stuffing. And those brown-and-serve rolls. Yummmmmm.

1. TTC #1, cycle 2, cd9

2. I’ll probably start OPKs tomorrow or Wednesday. First ultrasound monitoring is on Friday.

3. I am kind of sick. I think work travel beat me up a little last week.

4. Stuffing and mashed potatoes. Carbs are my weakness.

2. Any testing this week?
OPKs

3. Non-BFP AWs/vents/randoms?
DH is going out of town this weekend for his company's annual Vegas retreat. I'm both jealous (as usual) and anxious, not the least because it looks like my fertile days are going to fall smack during his trip (of course). There's part of me that's hoping that maybe the worries that come anytime one of us travels will throw off my ovulation day by a couple days this month.

4. What is your favorite holiday-season food?
I would have to say my FAVORITE thing is a family Chex-Mix recipe we call "Scramble." It's something my late grandmother made when my dad was growing up...and then my dad carried on the tradition. It's never really Christmas-time unless the house smells like Scramble. (But, of course, I also love things like Christmas cookies and apple pie and turkey, etc.)

[compassrose]

1. TTC #1 too long. 9DPO? 5DPO?

3. The drive to see my stepkids is SO long. Literally all day. I’m exhausted. But I can’t not see them. They are awesome.
4. Fried turkey. SO’s sweet potatoes. Pumpkin roll. Molasses cookies. Don’t make me choose.

1. Where are you in your journey?
TTC #1, Cycle 9, CD13

2. Any testing this week?
Nope.

Been having pain on my left side for just over a week now. The same pain has happened the last several cycles right after my period. It usually only lasts a couple days and then goes away completely. It's been hanging around this cycle though. It has eased off a good bit yesterday and today, but I still get twinges every now and then. I saw my primary care doc yesterday to rule out various things. She scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow morning to see if that can provide any answers. I have a family history of endometriosis and was told several years ago that I had fluid in my left Fallopian tube, so I suspect this pain has to do with that.

4. What is your favorite holiday-season food?
Pumpkin pie!

how did the ultrasound go? Any answers? Hope you’re feeling better.

1. tTC #1, month 9, CD 7 and still having light flow. This last cycle was 56 days and now the bleeding has lasted 7 days where usually it’s only 5. I’m just so tired of this.

2. No, although hopefully my cheap opks arrive tomorrow.

3. Big work week this week. I am volunteering at the Women’s Convention on Saturday here in Detroit. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, but I am hopeful that it will be a positive experience overall.

4. Bread sauce, it’s a British thing that is super weird but so good.

Thanks! It went well. Hoping to hear back from my doctor tomorrow on it. She didn't have time to review it today. I had a heck of a time at the beginning of the pelvic ultrasound though. I was in so much pain due to my bladder being so full. I couldn't even manage to lay down flat at first because it hurt so bad! The technician took pity on me and let me pee to relieve some of the pain. After that, it was a lot more bearable.

[compassrose]

I hope you get some answers tomorrow sarapocalypse!

[seeyalater52]

Good luck sarapocalypse! Hope you get good news or information you can use to inform next steps.

[sarapocalypse]

Thanks yall! Looks like I have a cyst on my left ovary. Doc has me scheduled for a follow-up ultrasound in 6-8 weeks.
