This is a weekly check-in for those who have lost an angel with a November EDD. If you would like to be added to our group, please reply to this message with your EDD and date and stage of loss. Please also tell us a little bit about yourself and your TTCAL journey so far. Those with loss dates in November are also welcome. As time goes on, it is only to be expected that there will be graduates, which means that there will at times be BFPs listed here. On weeks when we do have a BFP to celebrate, you’ll see a warning at the top of the page, which is provided so you’ll have the option of scrolling past the announcement if you need to. If you do get your BFP, please PM me so that we can congratulate you appropriately in the next check-in.
General Updates: How are you doing? Any appointments or other updates you’d like to share?
Shout outs: If you aren't listed, we haven’t heard from you for a week or two. Please jump in!
QOTW: Now that the weather is cooling off I've noticed DH and I are doing a lot more cooking in the oven to help warm up the house! What is your favorite baked dish & baked dessert?
** PLEASE SKIP DOWN IF YOUR HAVING A TOUGH DAY!!**

@littlecookie I feel you on the house updating. Dh and I bought our house last year and had to put so much work into it. I feel like the hardest part was agreeing on paint colors. We had to paint EVERY room. There were stripes, a guac green bathroom and what I like to call shit brown in our master bedroom.
Afm, I'm just sitting here at 10dpo, waiting for AF to come. I have had the worst PMS these last few days so I'm certain she's on her way.
I'm sure some of you saw, but I just found out my grandma has cancer again. She'll go into surgery within the next 2 weeks. I've pretty much just been an emotional wreck these last few days. MH has been doing a really good job of helping me hold it together, I feel like this has been the hardest year we've had...
QOTW: H does most of the cooking, but I make a mean chicken casserole!

Working on our rainbow!
Curious about my ute?
@Littlecookie, your chart looks good. FX AF stays away. You have more willpower than me. I would have POAS by now for sure.
@LIttleMrsW I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother.
AFM: I am 6dpo and starting to get the POAS itch. Other than that, just trucking along. Nothing much going on here. We are talking about doing a little road trip for fall break next month. Honestly I don't really feel like going anywhere but that is the only time I can get my H to stay away from work so hopefully we will go somewhere easy to get to.

All welcome
Sorry AF is prepping to make its unwanted appearance! Ugh there is nothing worse then when it take several days for it to build up before it actually arrives!
I conceived on CD22 of a 31 day cycle in February and carried for nine weeks! This was the first month that I was able to confirm ovulation (I was on clomid)! This time with clomid I started last month and wanted to use the month to see if the clomid would start ovulation! Fertility Friend thinks I ovulated at CD23 in August and this month it actually thinks I might have ovulated at CD17. With that being said even when I got pregnant I have NEVER gotten a positive ovulation test! I do both clear blue digital AND Frer and my line as never gotten as dark as the control line! I went in at CD16 and I had healthy two follies but we don't know that the eggs ever release! I am mentally and emotionally already moving on to October and the plan will be to do my clomid CD5-9 and do a trigger shot at CD16 to encourage the release! This Thursday I am already set to go in for CD23 blood work to see if they can confirm one way or another if I have ovulated and where my progesterone levels are!
@tlc35 FX for you! I love road trips!! Getting away will make the time go faster and it's always great to get alone and quality time with DH!
@sarcaztic10 Ugh, I am so not a earlier riser either! Hopefully with DH driving you can get some extra zzz's on the road! The months were there is no pressure are the best months in TTC! Will look forward to your updates on how your cycle progresses!!

@littlemrsw thinking of you and your family. Big hugs, honey
@tlc35 A road trip sounds so nice. Some friends of ours just got back and I'm so jealous of their pics.
@sarcaztic10 I vote you get a sleeping pass since lunch was his idea. Have fun! The sausage kale sounds divine. Recipe?
@HMR11913 It can take a couple days after the surge for the temp shift. Maybe you'll have one tomorrow? I've made a similar recipe for a dip for parties, but I'm going to put the pasta on the menu for next week. Yum.
As a couple of you noticed, temp was still up this morning, and my willpower actually waned. I went to test, but couldn't find any pee sticks. Forced restraint, lol.

@LittleMrsW I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother. ((Hugs))
@tlc35 FX for you this cycle!
@kreardon11 Yay for AF and burning the bench!!
@sarcaztic10 Hope you have fun in Charleston!!
@HMR11913 I'm sorry you are having so many frustrations with temping/OPKs. I do know that it's possible to get positive OPKs and then not ovulate. Your body may gear up to O and then it gets delayed. You should have another LH surge though if you do ovulate later. Just keep up with the OPKs and temping and hopefully you'll see a shift soon.
AFM, I think AF will make her appearance next week. I decided not to temp this cycle since we are TTA. I had a lot of EWCM last week and some O pain so I think I O'd sometime last week. Not certain what the plan is for next cycle but I think we may be ready to start TTC again.
QOTW: I love making pumpkin bread in the fall. And we always look forward to making turkey pot pies after Thanksgiving!

• now somewhere where the love flows •
@aswedishbee So happy for you that you got confirmation on your OPK!! I completely understand how impossible the thought of "not" obsessing over the two week window seems. I am over here analyzing every symptom, which by the way can all be due to hormone levels changing as I head towards the week before AF and of course they are signs of implantation. Grr! I'm thinking I'll buy the entryway storage bench i've been eyeing and a couple more window treatments for DH and I to assemble so we have projects to keep us a little busy!
