Re: TTCAL weekly check-in 10/19

  • I'm on month 17 TTC (14 after loss). Currently in the TWW - AF will be due Fri or Sat so I plan on testing Sat if AF baby come. Sick of the disappointing BFNs, so no more early testing!

    I love soups and stews in the fall, especially chili. Spicy and hearty and delicious!

  • On month 10 TTC in total, month 4 after loss, but only on my 1st real cycle after my loss. Currently WTO. I have a 40 plus day cycle and think I ovulate around cycle day 25 and 30 (temping for the first time this cycle), so I feel like I am forever WTO!

    My favorite fall food is soup. I got an immersion blender last year and am excited to break it out to make all kinds of fall soups! My favorites last year were a cauliflower sweet potato soup and a apple and butternut squash soup.

  • -1st month TTC after 12 week MMC.
    I am currently on cycle day 9 and waiting to ovulate which *should* be arriving on Saturday!

    My favorite fall meal is beef stew! Yum!!
  • 1. Introduce yourself - Hi, I'm 32 and DH is 31.  We are TTC #1 but had an ectopic in Sept and are currently benched until end of Dec.

    2. Status (ex: Months/Cycles TTCAL and WTO or TWW, benched or currently going through a loss) - Benched until end of Dec, but currently temping.  It *looks* like I might have ovulated 2 days ago but waiting for the 3rd temp to get the crosshairs.  

    3. GTKY: what is your favorite fall meal? Thanksgiving... does that count?  Also apple pie and apple cider donuts (not a meal, but , you know).
  • 2. Still benched. Waiting for 1st AF after loss... 

    3. My favorite fall meal is chili. I love to make a large pot of 4 alarm and eat the leftovers throughout the week.

    I'm on CD18 and still WTO. I'm thinking this is going to be one of my wonky cycles - I'm barely making any cm at all. I'm crossing my fingers that if I am going to have a long cycle then when I go for my surgery consult I'll magically be in a good part of my cycle for surgery and he will magically have an opening to fit me in right away - a girl can dream lol

    My favorite fall meal is chili or some other hearty soup.

    3. Cranberry sauce, the kind you slice out of a can. Real foodie, aren't I. ;)

  • Hi All,

    On 2nd cycle since my loss in July, currently in TWW.. 8dpo lots of pg symptoms but not sure if it's my brain playing tricks on me! Fingers crossed.

    Favourite Fall (autumn for me) meal is sausage mash and Yorkshire pudding, comfort food to the max, yum!
  • TTC#1 for over 9 months, MMC/D&E + chemical pregnancy

    6 or 7dpo -- FF put crosshairs on 7dpo, but they changed to dotted lines.  If 7dpo, I missed my fertile window. If 6dpo, we did it on O day.

    Favorite fall meal is butternut squash soup.  @penelope4612, I want to try an apple cider donut!  Right now!

    @MrsGargoyle, I googled TTA and it said "tap that ass."  That combined with "unknown end date" made me chuckle.  Sadly, I'm sure TTA does not mean what google thinks, and you are probably benched or something equally frustrating and/or upsetting.  If it's any consolation, I also like cranberry sauce from a can. ;)

  • Currently benched until after my next period (expected end of November...long cycles for me) 

    Endured a chemical pregnancy last week...I miscarried around the same time as AF so I have no idea if that was a period or just a miscarry. Or both!? Starting to temp as soon as I receive that damn BBT in the mail. 
  • @CarrieandRoy I'm pretty sure TTA is "trying to avoid"  but your comment made me spit out my coke laughing! Thanks, I needed that :)


    1. I think I've posted on this board before, but it's been a bit. you can see the basic run down in my sig, but the boring summary is DH & I are 37 and trying for our second. Had a MC in August at 7 weeks.

    2. It's first cycle TTC after my D&C. Doctor gave me the go ahead to try as soon as I had a normal period. My D&C was in September, and I'm currently CD 5 and ready to get this show on the road. So WTO right now.

    3. Chili! I agree with whoever said, make a big pot on the weekend and eat leftovers all week. Yum!

  • I'm on cycle 4 since the loss. I'm currently 6 dpo might test Sunday if I can hold off till the 30th I will test that day. If no positive I'm getting drunk Halloween night.

    Favorite fall meal would be turkey.
  • 2. Status: Month/cycle: 5/4, 4dpo today of my first cycle with the RE (Metformin, Femara 5mg+Ovidrel, TI).  Only one follicle so I'm not super hopeful.  I would be shocked if we got pregnant the first cycle anyway.  We will be upping the dose to 7.5mg to hopefully get some more follicles if this cycle is a BFN.

    3. GTKY: what is your favorite fall meal?  Pot roast, mashed potatoes (homemade) and green bean casserole!

  • 2. Status: Still benched. Now that I finally want AF to show, she won't. Getting super frustrated because FF changed my O date from CD 25 to 28. Not that 3 days is a huge deal, but now I'm second guessing everything because I didn't start temping right away. I felt like I was starting to get AF symptoms on Saturday, but nothing yet and a temp spike this morning. WTF, body??

    3. GTKY: what is your favorite fall meal? Probably chowder because cider donuts aren't meals! ;)

  • Hey ladies.

    I am on month 14 TTCAL and on month 7 TTCAL2. Currently CD 23 but I dont feel confident about this cycle at all. We didn't even hit our window of opportunity at all. So I'm considering myself out this month. 

    I love soups just like all the rest of us ladies here. Although where I live (Ohio) it wont seem to get cold so might have to wait a little longer for all that. 

    good luck to all of you who are testing in the next couple of days.

  • 1) Hi. First of all I'm happy that this kind of forum exists because TTCAL can be so stressful! And misunderstood.
    I'm 32y and husband is 33. We celebrated our first year anniversary two weeks ago. :)

    2) This is first month TTC after ectopic pregnancy 1/15 at 7 weeks. Also I had miscarriage at 9weeks in 2012.

    3) My favorite fall food is pumpkin & apples.

  • 1 & 2) hi ladies! My significant other and I have been trying since April 2014. We got our bfp in memorial day this year. Unfortunately, we had a mc at 7 weeks. A month after our mc my significant other had a heart attack. This year has been a roller coaster. I am in the tww of the 4th cycle post mc. I am a mother a 4 yr old. I am a working mom but I am also going to school full time right now.

    3) I love pumpkin bread and ooey goey pumpkin dessert. It was a desert I found online a few years ago.
  • 2) we have been ttc for 9 months now. We lost our daughter 11 months ago. I'm on cycle day #2 so on AF. Getting labs done tomorrow, and then an ultrasound done to check my ovaries and uterus for abnormalities a week after. I found out that I haven't been ovulating so the dr is trying to figure out why, and hoping to put me on clomid this cycle or next.

    3) my favorite fall meal is chili with Fritos and cheese in it! :)
