Welcome back @reneeannemm ! We have missed you and hope you've been doing well on your bump break. I hope the testing goes well. So sorry that you had to get that phone call - crazy how insensitive the midwives' office is. I would've burst into tears, too. I'm anxiously awaiting the first snowflakes, too, but I think it's going to be awhile. We've been unseasonably warm, which really kills that autumn mood.
@NewMommyCoop Fx! It wasn't super hard, promise. Just took about 30 seconds of my attention every day for a month. In the end, I didn't even like it, but my guests were wild for it. Never was a big fan of strong cheese, not sure why I thought a vegan one would change my tastes. I'm going to try blue cheese next. It was exciting that it grew the rind and everything, though!
@RiverSong15 Hey! Sorry to see you still around these parts. But hello farro! We're really into it right now - use the flakes for baking and just made this toasted farro dish this weekend and it was incredible. We haven't experimented a lot with different grains, as DH had some idiosyncratic anaphylactic reactions to them, but we figured out this year it's specifically oatmeal, rye and barley, so we get to have fun with new stuff now. Risotto (in any form) for life, though. I have three sugar pumpkins sitting waiting for me in the kitchen right now, maybe I'll surprise DH with risotto for dinner, as it's his favourite.
@laeberge3 Such a warm autumn so far! We've just had a bit of cooler weather the past few days but I see in the forecast it's holding on fairly warm. Certainly not any snow in the near future. When I was a kid, it almost always snowed on Halloween, now it's not even usually on the ground my Christmas. Granted, I live in a different place with a different weather, but I am very Canadian and need white Christmases.

2.) Status (WTO, TWW, Benched, etc) - currently in the TWW, 4 dpo. We had really good timing this cycle. Hoping this is it because DH and I will likely both be at different conferences during FW in November.
3.) Rants/ Raves - I have been very relaxed during this cycle, it has been really nice. DH and I have been taking time each weekend to spend with each other, which is nice since football coaching has been taking much of his time. His team won their first layoff game which surprised me, so the season has been extended by at least one more week. I just keep telling myself it is almost done.
4.) GTKY: Tell me about your favorite fall activities? Crafting, cooking, baking, traveling, etc. I love baking. I haven't gotten around to much of it lately, but am hoping to have some time this weekend. And pumpkin risotto sounds so good I may have to do that as well.

@NewMommyCoop Yes, I love that cookbook and the Skinnytaste website. She makes a lot of yummy comfort foods more healthy, so I can enjoy them with less guilt. It was a great day for me when I realized I could substitute pumpkin for butternut squash in recipes.
@reneeannemm Mmmm... You're making me hungry! Lol. I'm glad you figured out your H's reactions and found some grains you can still enjoy. Is there a particular pumpkin risotto recipe you like? I want to make it now
Welcome back @reneeannemm - you were definitely missed around here. I hope you had a good Bump break and get some answers and peace of mind from your testing. Your fall baking sounds/ looks delicious!
@rainbowturtles _ Im sorry that your HSG levels are taking so long to go down - waiting for your body to get back to normal can be so frustrating. Fx you get back on track soon.
Update for me- I got the test results from the bloodwork my RE had ordered and I have a blood clotting disorder. It is hereditary though I don't think anyone else in my family has had it. My dr said it is an easy fix with a blood thinner and a shot once I do get pg. I feel so relieved just to know why this has happened to me twice and feeling hopeful for the first time in a long time that I will have a healthy pg.
@RiverSong15 Nothing in particular - I roast the pumpkin first in cubes with sage, cinnamon and smoked paprika and then make my standard risotto with it.
@TScalei So sorry to see you back, but thank goodness you got results back you can act on. I'm actually waiting for a technical issue to be resolved right now and will be able to see my CD 3 results as soon as I can get into my account.

@reneeannemm - Yayyyyy! You're back! I have thought about you tons!! It sucks we are both still here but I'm selfishly glad you're back to talk to. Looks like we both took a break at the same time and are doing some testing at the same time too. I had my FSH draw yesterday and I'll have my HSG on Halloween.
Just got my CD 3 panel back and everything is normal/healthy. Feels good, but also wish there was something I could be doing to improve our chances.

I'm trying to be positive that this will be the month, but also preparing if it isn't. After learning from you ladies I've decided to try OPKs next month if we are still trying. I found lots of wondfo result on amazon and mixed reviews about the authenticity. Since you ladies have experience, I would like to ask if someone post the link to the seller they have used with success or post the sellers name. Or maybe this is something for a PM....not sure of the rules and such. Thanks in advance!
@flipflopped I think the Newbie Guide or welcome post on the TTGP board has a list of legit sellers. There have been some fakes on Amazon. I think you want to make sure it's sold by Wondfo.
@flipflopped I have not used Wondfo's, but I personally have had great success with CBE Advanced Ovulation sticks. I buy a 20 count at Walgreens for $60. They last me a few months.

1.Not new but will re-intro: Had the best surprise the first week of January with a surprise BFP after two failed medicated cycles. MMC at 10 weeks in February. TWW 2 or 4 DPO.
2. Rant, I feel like life is kicking my ass lately in all areas. I used to regularly workout and I can't seem to keep with a schedule. This is important since working out keeps me balanced and in a good mood. I've been in such a funk the last couple of days and just in a rough TTCAL place. DH and I had to have a talk this weekend as now that we are off medicated cycles he didn't want me to do OPKs or track but I reminded him that time was against us. I don't have that luxury at 38. He understood and agreed I should do whatever I need to do, but asked that I not tell him that I have a positive OPK, because he feels it's too much pressure. I get where he's coming from- it's been such a stressful year dominated by grief, and disappointment. He believes if it's meant to happen it will. I guess I'm just not there. Anyway- typing this has already made me feel better! I am seeing a therapist next week, so I am hoping that will be helpful.
3. Rave. Fall weather is here in my area so yay for sweaters, boots and warm drinks.
4. GTKY. I always host Thanksgiving and I love looking up new recipes. I want to bake for this year, but admittedly, I suck at baking! We're also into sports so love watching football, and getting the hockey season started,
@reneeannemm- you're back!!! You've been missed and it's good to see you. GL with all your tests.
@MooFish2364- it's nice to have you back as well and GL with all your testing as well.
@RiverSong15- I'm so gad you have so much support. It's really key and so helpful through this process.
@brooklyngirl18 I hear you- sometimes trying to figure out what's going on with our bodies is rough. Wouldn't it be great if it was as easy as having sex on CD 14?? Do you temp? I may go back to it next cycle to get a better idea about my cycles @tscalei I find the cheapies work so much better
@SoonToBeMommaHowe pumpkin chocolate chip cookies sound amazing! Too bad I am baking challenged.
@ladipale That's awesome you go to OTF. I'm trying to get back on my OTF schedule. I go to the one in Willow Glen and it tends to get packed pretty quickly so I need to plan ahead which is not my strong suit. Also- Go Sharks!

@roxigibbons - Im sorry you have been in a funk lately - I think it just happens during this process. The stress/anxiety of tracking O and forced BD is real and not fun and Im not sure Dh's can really understand what its like... Not telling him seems like a good idea and hopefully that will work better!
Welcome back @reneeannemm - missed you but understand breaks sometimes necessary!
@TScalei - glad you got some answers! Is it MTHFR or something else?
@roxgibbons - Last week I only worked out once and the whole family paid the price. I am not kind when I can't work out. This quarter's schedule is just kicking my butt so on Sunday I decided that I just had to get up and go.... which this quarter means 5am. I also go to barre3 in WG and was there at 6am today.
I got awesome news today that VW has to buy back my car!! I bought one of the liar diesel cars back in 2011. Bring on the car shopping!

@justsuzie I don't even know if I'm in the TWW yet. I got another flashing smiley face this morning on the CB OPK. That is three days in a row! WTF? I hope you get to feeling better soon. I hate being sick!
@Mack2342 The burlap Christmas trees sound like fun!
@weareturtles I am sorry it is taking so long for your levels to go down. I can't imagine how frustrating that would be.
@NewMommyCoop I have never done temping, tracking, or opks so I'm clueless when it come to that. But, I am going to start when I can ttc so that I will actually know my dates. And now that we really want to ttc again I'e already ordered some stuff on amazon.
@szwill86 Does being sick affect the fertile window? I always get so sick over Christmas break! Every year, for the past 3 years. All the stress of the holidays takes a toll on me. And that is our first window for ttc! I better start the airborne and vitamin C pills during december.
@roxgibbons Sorry to see you still here, but happy to char with you at the same time. Life really seems to be kicking my ass these days, too. I bet a therapist will help a lot.

@reneeannemm yep, still here (sigh). I am glad to hear your CD3 panel came back good! I have started injectables since you were last around and had to take the last cycle off due to a cyst, so I am CD2 right now and go in thursday hopefully for good results on bloodwork/ultrasound clearing me to start up again this cycle.
Of course I checked to see my potential EDD if I got KU this cycle and it is the same one as my last loss... I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad sign but it is weird.
@roxgibbons i do temp thankfully so that my main tracking method since opks never really work out for me. I'm sorry you're having a rough stretch, I totally understand and have been going through it myself. big hugs

@justsuzie A cold shouldn't effect egg quality. It may affect your ability to track your cycle though. A lot of cold medicines thin out or dry up mucus, which affects CM as well as sinus congestion. Also, if you're temping, colds can cause you to breathe out of your mouth at night and can affect your temps (make them seem lower than they actually are).
Had blood drawn today to retest my TSH and prolactin levels. I'm hoping they come back normal or I'll be referred to a RE. Meanwhile, I didn't bench us this month but I'm wondering if I should because of the thyroid issue. The one benefit that is I should have those test numbers by tomorrow which is still in advance of the start of my suspected FW. At the very least, looking forward to chatting with my doc next week at my annual. I am weirdly comforted by being at the OBGYN's office, despite the terrible memories it holds for me.

@TScalei - glad you got some answers! Is it MTHFR or something else?
@roxgibbons - Last week I only worked out once and the whole family paid the price. I am not kind when I can't work out. This quarter's schedule is just kicking my butt so on Sunday I decided that I just had to get up and go.... which this quarter means 5am. I also go to barre3 in WG and was there at 6am today.
I got awesome news today that VW has to buy back my car!! I bought one of the liar diesel cars back in 2011. Bring on the car shopping!

Of course I checked to see my potential EDD if I got KU this cycle and it is the same one as my last loss... I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad sign but it is weird.

@justsuzie I don't think a cold has any effect on egg quality! Of course, an actual flu virus is never great when pregnant, but can't speak its effect on your eggs.
That reminds me, it's nearly time for a flu shot! Really glad to be back to chat with all of you wonderful, amazing people.

Sorry about CD1 @E2theB
Had blood drawn today to retest my TSH and prolactin levels. I'm hoping they come back normal or I'll be referred to a RE. Meanwhile, I didn't bench us this month but I'm wondering if I should because of the thyroid issue. The one benefit that is I should have those test numbers by tomorrow which is still in advance of the start of my suspected FW. At the very least, looking forward to chatting with my doc next week at my annual. I am weirdly comforted by being at the OBGYN's office, despite the terrible memories it holds for me.
Hope everyone's Wednesdays have gone well.
