Monday check-in?

[thoseareradishes]

Shall we do a Monday check-in? I don't think we did one last week.

1. Where are you in your cycle?

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc?

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season?

[thoseareradishes]

1. Where are you in your cycle? Cycle 5, CD1, boooooooo

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? Depending on when I O this cycle, our timing could be majorly screwed up due to H traveling the next few months. How is it with 4 weeks in a month that my fertile week and his travel week line up so well??

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? I've been really into soup lately. I made pasta and bean soup last week, and plan on making carrot ginger soon. Also a loaf of pumpkin bread.

[HoneySpider]

1. Where are you in your cycle? CD 15

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? Nada..expect to O today or tomorrow but really just not feeling into it. I think it's just gotten to the point where it feels like "hey, it's not going to happen so why bother?" I know that's not the right attitude though

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season?

I mainly bake but I try not to do it often because I eat it all I am making a pumpkin dessert this week for a work potluck. Otherwise, not sure what I'll make between now and Thanksgiving - then it's the works! My specialty is apple pie.

[FastHands]

1) CD 21
2) Debating when to POAS, but feeling run-down.. not sure if this is because I'm pg, or just overworked. Trying not to read into it (yeah, not doing a great job!)
3) Just looking forward to simple/hearty meals like pot roast and chili

[winecheery]

1. Where are you in your cycle? Cycle 2, CD21, 5dpo booooring

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? Not so much, tho I am proud of myself for being reasonably calm this round. Maybe that's cuz I've resigned myself to not being pg this cycle.


3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? TONS!!! I make a soup a week when the weather gets cooler. I also love making black bean butternut squash chilli, and various risottos.

I am currently making what I affectionately have dumbed "White Trash Pie" because it uses cool whip and oreos I'm a snob about that lol. We don't regularly keep that kind of thing in the house. Seriously tho, BEST PIE EVA. If you like peanut butter that is. I serve it with drizzled chocolate, and half an oreo on top...because it looks pretty AND tastes even more bad-for-you-delish. thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/06/another-pie/

Are you due to poas already? You must have a shorter cycle then me no fair! FF says I shouldn't test until the 15th!!!! AF is due the 11th
Even tho I feel certain I'm out this round, I still hate waiting to be sure. GL if you do poas!

[berbles]

1. Where are you in your cycle? CD19. Probably ovulating this week. I'm on the fence about resuming OPKs, when it's unlikely that we can be successful right now.

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? I have an appointment with an endo surgeon on Thursday. My mom is coming with me because this doc is out of network, but the only surgeon my RE refers patients to, and my mom is kind of an expert at insurance negotiating. It will be interesting to see if the doc will be able to tell me whether I am actually ovulating; the timing lines up and I know he's going to do an u/s.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? Nothing planned...yet.

Aw honey I'm sorry you're so down

Thanks...I need to snap out of the funk. Maybe I'll pull out some fun lingerie or something tonight.

Of course, MH will be watching the Bears game tonight, so I need to get to him before that, lol

Do you have Bears logo panties?? Does he have a jersey or a hat you could wear with...nothing else?? Maybe he'll be distracted then lol

1. Where are you in your cycle? CD16 and clueless lol. This cycle has been wacky, thrown off by loads of stress and a really bad cold.

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? Not much. Really content in life right now

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? I have the greatest apple cake recipe ever that I'm really excited to make this year. I'm bringing it to a potluck later this month. It's from another nestie, so I'll be happy to post it if anyone's interested.

No not there yet. I have a "textbook" cycle... due for AF next Mon and will prob only test Tuesday if AF is no-show.. but feeling anxious to find out, so I'm considering testing a couple of days early. Prob more hassle than it's worth since I could easily be in false-negative territory.

1. Where are you in your cycle? CD 23, 6DPO

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? I hate the 2ww.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? I was going to try to make mini pumpkin pies sometime this week! Otherwise, I'm excited to get back into making soups.

Haha I'll have to remember that for the future! Actually when I got home he was already waiting for me in bed He's knows we're in an important stretch here so that was awesome.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season?

Can't wait to make chili! It's still warm here, so I'm holding off for "cozier" weather.

I heard that. Andplusalso, I fear testing too early, getting a bfp, and then it turn out to be chemical

1. Where are you in your cycle? CD 9

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? Excited about my first acupuncture appointment tomorrow

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? I don't cook much, but I love pumpkin and butternut squash this time of year!

[potatopie]

1) CD 22 and still no sign of O.
2) see above. I had some watery CM last week and FF said I was fertile, but no temp spike yet. It's even gone down a few degrees. First time charting, so hopefully I'll get more in-tune with my patterns. But for now it's a frustrating wait (I'm afraid that I won't O).
3) even though I'm on opposite seasons down here, I refuse to accept that it's not fall. I made pumpkin bread this week (had to do my own puree too because they don't sell canned here). And I want to make baked apples next.

[Cheesecake]

1. Where are you in your cycle? 6DPO, I hate the wait!

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc?
Well I already mentioned the work crap last week, besides that I got tipsy at a wedding last night (drink 'til it's pink, oh yeah!) and I transferred all my chart data to FF and apparently pretty much timed sex perfectly this cycle, so I'm hopefull-ish.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season?
Bought my first pumpkin of the season, I'm thinking stew! Also, I think butternut squash soup is in my near future, and heavy, thick potato soup.

Uhm, so yeah, soups!

1. Where are you in your cycle?

Cd 22

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc?

Hmm.. well this is my last cycle before going on BC for 2 months in prep for IUI. So I'm in my last natural chance! Lol.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season?

I have a whole pinterest board filled w things i want to make! The H has celiac though, so I've got to make everything gluten free.

[nevafaye]

1. Where are you in your cycle? Cycle 3, CD 14, which is either 4DPO, or three days before O

2. AW, vents, rants, news, etc? DH just left this morning until Saturday night. Bummed, because it's the first day of my fertile period (probably) AND we've had a really rough go at things the last couple weeks and FINALLY re-connected in the last couple days. I'm glad we did that before he left, but now I just really miss him.

3. GTKY: any favorite fall foods you are planning to make this season? anything with pumpkin!
