QOTW:
Who is your celebrity crush and why?
Jimmy Fallon is my new crush... he is just adorable in every way.  I got to go see his show live a couple of months ago and he was so personable with the audience and seems like a genuine guy.  I also  appreciate and respect him coming out about he and his wife's fertility struggles.

3. CD 6, day 4 of Femara

4. N/A

5. This cycle, I'm curious to see what will happen. I don't fully understand why the doctor thinks the femara will help; but, I'm guessing I may be releasing immature eggs. If that's the case, I'm much more hopeful. 

Who is your celebrity crush and why?

I love Justin Timberlake. I try to catch all his SNL performances. And my sister-in-law and I are seeing him in Seattle next weekend!  Mainly, my "crush" is on his performance/acting. I do kind of drool over Johnny Depp as far as attractive crushes.

15 months

Very mild cramps but I attribute that to the Provera.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I've loved him since he was on Growing Pains. I also love Ed Harris and Mike Rowe, my more mature celebrity crushes!

jchickiem

1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names)  and State you are from: Jennifer from Texas

2.   How long have you been TTC?  TTC #2 since October 2012

3.  Where are you in your cycle? If in the 2ww  when will you test? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc) I am 3 DPO. Don't know if I'll need to test--I guess I will if my temps stay up past 12 DPO.

4.  Experiencing any weird  "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww? Nope.

5.  How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) I had unusually good EWCM and a couple of positive OPKs this cycle. I don't know, but I suspect that I've had weak ovulation in some of my last few cycles. We started our testing, and I know I need to see an RE, but I told myself I'd take the next three cycles to lose some weight and see if that helped.  Guess I should really get started on that.

QOTW:
Who is your celebrity crush and why? I just saw Man of Steel on Saturday night and Henry Cavill is so very. . . .something else. As far as old movies, I love, love, love Christopher Plummer in Sound of Music.

QOTW:
Who is your celebrity crush and why?

Quite a few so I'd hate to choose one, lol.  I'm a long-time soap opera watcher and there are several fellows there that I crush on everyday, but most people don't know them unless they watch.

mindaa

1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names)  and State you are from
mindaa from Phoenix

2.   How long have you been TTC?  
TTC #1 since January 2012

early in the 2WW

4.  Experiencing any weird  "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
Nope 

5.  How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Took a break this month, so I don't even know if I O'd... but during the time I would normally O, I was relaxing on vacation and having less coffee and more BD... so I guess there is still reason to be hopeful... even though this month I'm pretty indifferent, which is a relief after a stressful/emotional pre-Christmas 2WW.

QOTW:
Who is your celebrity crush and why?

Currently... Andy Samberg. I like goofy guys

hooligans4

1. Liz from Long Island, ny

2. NTNP for 8 years, actively trying 1 year.

3. Have no clue what dpo I am because I'm just fed up with my body not working right so I stopped charting. AF is due 10/11th so I will test the 12th if she is a no show (but I won't hold my breath for that).

4. Nips are a little sore and my dang jeans don't fit any more.

5. I am not feeling any hope.

QOTW: Adam Levine is my boyfriend. Yummmm

Davie813

1. Davie813, Chicago

2. First cycle TTC #2

3. Waiting to O; CD 7

4. N/A

5. Pretty neutral. Excited to be starting after months with no AF, but not expecting much this cycle.

6. At one extreme, Harry Potter (in the later movies of course, and yes, I understand that he's fictional.) At the other, Jason Aldean. Not even a huge fan of contemporary country, but I think the man is sexy.
