WEEKLY CHECK-IN 12/17

WinoGrrl

So OPK was positive again this morning although not quite as dark as yesterday or Tuesday and temp went even lower. In looking at last month that matches the pattern with FF hopefully eventually calling today O day - assuming temp starts to rise tomorrow. I'm really hoping that's the case since we have plans for NYE and I'd like to know either way before then and the longer O makes me wait the less likely I'll know for sure. Just venting here so DH doesn't catch the brunt of my stress over this tonight!

Surprising but it was easier than I thought. I just started making healthier choices. Once you see the weight start coming off it motivates you to keep going. Now I'm focused on trying to tone all the giggly bits.

When you find out how to do that without actually working out, I will send you all of my money for that information.

I wish no working out was required. My son told me I couldn't loose anymore weight because my arms were starting to look like my 87yo grandmother. I joined the gym the next week.

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

2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.? A good chunk longer than a year, for #1 and only.

3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? 
Femara 7.5 on CD2-6, OPKs and acupuncture. 

4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
I'm 4DPO. I'm having cramping and headaches, but that's just what happens for me on this dose of Femara. I'll test next weekend if no AF.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) 

I feel like our timing wasn't great, just on -1 and O day, because I had a horrible pukey migraine over the weekend and was feeling the opposite of frisky. I'm trying to stay focused on the holidays and put TTC out of my mind a bit.

QOTW: 
What Facebook posts drive you crazy? Have you ever defriended someone because of it? 

My husband's aunt is the sweetest woman alive. She's also a living game of Annoying FB Bingo, and probably the reason Snopes was invented. "Share if you love Jesus, scroll past if you love Satan." "Type 'amen' to give this cancer baby $1 from Bill Gates." "Share this status if you love autistic children/cancer victims/America, if you don't share you are an awful, awful human being." "Using dubious information from the Internet, I have concluded that you can get cancer from antiperspirant/if you flash your lights gangsters will murder you/conspiracy theory of the week." I can't bring myself to hide or defriend, because I get a perverse enjoyment from it. 

Oh, and my relatives going on about "family values" and how homosexuality is a horrible sin during that whole Duck Dynasty brouhaha. My sister has been out of the closet for over 20 years. So I guess the only family they value are the straight ones? I defriended them all and never looked back.

@MySallyGirl - I have a beta in the morning.  I tested earlier this week and was negative.  Even though I knew it was too early, I was so disappointed, I may just wait and see what the beta is. The beta is pretty early (12 DPO), so I might not even turn a HPT?

Good luck @Heath&Jas.  Testing early and getting disappointed sucks.

TTC #5 since April 2012

Charting, temping, taking Prenatal daily, plenty of timed intercourse. Clomid 100mg. Will start watching diet and exercising with next cycle. 

13dpo/CD30

BFNs for the last 3 days straight, and my temps are at coverline. Hope lost. Waiting on AF to try again. 

QOTW: Oversharers, the fabulous Facebook life posters, and the people who repost completely false things without checking it out first! 

Shout out to all who got BFPs this cycle, and praying for a H&H 9 months!!

2. TTC #2 since 04/2014

3. OPK's, MyDays App, DH taking Gingko twice a day, BD'd every day CD10 - CD15

4. 2WW, CD18, I have some light cramping and lot's of bloating.  I think I'm pregnant EVERY MONTH so I'm sure there's more to come.

5. I think I am, I think I am

QOTW:
What Facebook posts drive you crazy? Have you ever defriended someone because of it?
Facebook can be difficult especially because I currently have 12, YES 12, friends/family who are pregnant.  I am so happy for them so I don't defriend, but I sure love that Unfollow button!

@happyktmom‌ ugh 12??? Oh no thank you. I love the hide feature too, it's so handy. It beats that awkward moment when they RE-friend you a month later.
