2. TTC 1 year (5 cycles post D&E) 
3.  I'm 3DPO according to FF and will not test until 12DPO.

4.  I'm kindof Honey Badger about this cycle aka I really don't give a sh!t. I've spent every other cycle of TTCAL being uber-aware of everything but not with this cycle. I temp and chart daily still but didn't even know what DPO I was until now! I will be getting BW done to check my progesterone this cycle and if no BFP, then will do CD3 BW & u/s and CD5 HSG.

QOTW: Thanksgiving is in a few weeks! What are your plans this year?

My cousin hosts every year so we'll be going out to PA. Last year we slept over and went Black Friday shopping (NEVER again!!!). Undecided about whether or not we're sleeping over there again this year.

@amIrunner you can come to my house LOL I am always inviting people. Its one of the things I loved the most about thanksgiving was most years there was always a new person that needed a place to go and it always made it "more fun" to have fresh people with all the regulars.

@ashellypnutwhere do you live in NJ, I live in Monmouth County

1. Heather from NJ

2. TTC 28 months 
3.  Not sure if I waiting to O or 4 dpo, FF is confused .

4.  I am hopeful but probably didn't time things right. Last night I told DH we should BD tonight and he said, yourr still tryign ot get pregnant?!?! I was a little shocked, then he said I jsut dont see it happening. SO I feel overall frustrated, thought he was onboard.

QOTW: Thanksgiving is in a few weeks! What are your plans this year? THis year we are at my mom's. I am always excited for the "odd years" at my family. THe in laws just have a very different vibe, not bad just different.

QOTW:
Thanksgiving is in a few weeks! What are your plans this year? 

If we are home we always host.  My H does all the hard stuff...turkey, potatoes, stuffing, etc...I make the salads, appetizers, desserts.  Since most of those can be prepared - in part- ahead of time I can usually spend the rest of the day wrangling the kids.  Ok, I usually spend the day drinking wine. truth.

I am trying not to think about it too much both my husband and I will be traveling for work so I think the timing will be off yet again!

Going up north to the in-laws, then a stop to see my sister and her kids.  It is fun to get them hyper and leave...hopefully one day she can repay the favor!

Like I want to take it to the shed and put it out of its misery. 

QOTW: Thanksgiving is in a few weeks! What are your plans this year?

The unusual. Peeps over to my house, all the traditional fixin's, but new twist this year is that everybody makes something  - even the kids.  Makes it fun and they have a stake in the day.
