QOTW:  

What questions do you want to see here for QOTW?  I know, sneaky hav2run.  I need fresh ideas!  Also, do you want me to keep them
TTC related, or are off topic questions good too?  


Don't forget those updates.  Who is in the 2WW?  When are you
planning to test?  O dates?  Post those BFPs here!
Whatever you want to talk about!



Welcome kbrodie06, JDG2007, and mowens26.  Wishing you a quick and happy TTC journey!

Congrats to onemorelittleone on being our newest mommy to be on the TTC35 success stories list!  H&H 9 months to you!

hav2run

I am in 2WW.  I am reasonably sure this cycle is a bust because we were both ill around the time of my O, and only BD once while my monitor was high.  Missed the peak altogether.  It would take a miracle... 

kb75

Hi - I would like to be added, please!

kb75, 34, CA, TTC since Dec 2008

 

I don't have any specific suggestions for questions, but I think a mix of TTC and off-topic would be nice.  

Irishsapphire

I am in 2WW.  Not sure how this cycle will be, it was not as easy to get my husband to TTC on demand.  His gottit up just did not get up when I was Oing--some cycles it just does not correlate.

Crazy question

Is it easy to get your husband to TTC on demand (when you are about to O), or is it more that you TTC when he is wants to have sex (he has gottit up, and he is looking at you that crazy way)?

Normal Question

How many children would you like to have?  Have you picked out any names yet and which names?  Would you consider adopting after having TTC for a while? 

 

taratru

I have no idea what's going on right now.  I got a letter today - not a phone call, a LETTER - that my beta is back at zero.  I anticipate that biiitch AF showing up this weekend.  Then we're supposed to wait two more cycles to ttc again. 

But you know what?  I don't care.  We're not going to wait.  I'm also not going to chart for a couple of months.  If it happens, it happens.  If it doesn't, then we'll chart and try in January.  I'm starting to think that someone is telling me something - I just don't know what that something is. 

QOTW ideas (trying to give some non-ttc options ):

Glee: Love it or hate it?  Why?  Other favorite tv shows?

Where did you go to college?  Degrees?

What is your favorite memory from high school?

You have $100,000 that you canNOT spend on yourself/your family/your friends.  What do you do with it?

Who is the greatest actor of OUR time?

sel*stella

2ww for me too. I am 7dpo. RE appt on 10/22-first time. I can't think of any ideas for qotw right now, but will post some when I think of them.

princess_shelly

I am in 2ww, 10 dpo, but have none of my normal pms symptoms this cycle, no sore breasts, no aching back, nada!!!

Af is due anytime mon-wed, so I will wait until wed to test.  Man, this crazy bodu of mine makes me crazy!

hollymichael

Update: Waiting to O.  Actually, that isn't true.  I am never waiting to O.  I am such an early Oer that I am usually thinking sh*t, this is too early, I can't O already.

QOTW:  I don't think you need to keep them TTC related. I kind of like the getting to know each other questions.  Favorite movie, favorite book, where do you live, that sort of thing.  I am too tired to come up with anything creative right now, but I will try to think of more questions.

hav2run

I am loving all of the suggestions for questions.  Keep them coming!

MAH123

Waiting for my beta to go back to 0, it's down to 900 this week from 1400. We also set up our last game plan mtg with the RE for Nov 4. We have to wait 3 mo anyway because of the mtx, so there is no hurry. Debating getting a second opinion. I don't want a new dr (this one has already named a vacation home after me), just not sure if I need a fresh set of eyes to look at my records. We need a huge BFP wave on this board!!! 

Questions:

NTTCR Where is your favorite place to vacation? Favorite Thanksgiving recipes/traditions?

TTC Most inventive way to pay for treatments? Funniest TTC story (yours or as told to you)

 

 

ccbanana

Hi ladies!

I'm in the 2WW, just 4 dpiui.  It's my 2nd IUI and I can't decide if I am hopeful or doubtful since the 1st one didn't work.  Blah.

I like the mix of questions we get here.  How about, what TV shows are you addicted to?  How long have you known your best friend?  How did you meet your DH?  What's your guilty pleasure? 

FrannyS

The pic of your daughter and the pumpkins is precious!

I am waiting to O. I've already informed DH to get ready - hee hee.

Here's a few QOTW:

What are your hobbies?  What other websites do you visit often?  What was your first concert?  What are your favorite toys from childhood (since we are children of the 70s)?  Did you have pets as a child and do you now? How old were you when you got married?  Where did you honeymoon? What's your favorite things about your hometown and the town you live in today?  Who were your famous crushes as a teenager?

TTC related: How long did you wait to see an RE?  Do you have friends IRL with IF? Do you friends/family IRL know you are TTC?  Are you OOP (and I liked someone else's question about inventive ways to pay for tx). 

  

ccbanana

2 more question possibilities! 

What is the best piece of marriage advice you've received?

How did your DH propose (I'm a sucker for a good proposal story!)?

Amy&Steve0421

Update - Not too much going on.  Stopped tracking w/CBEFM since I needed a month off from worrying.  Now I just need my husband to stop bugging me about what cycle day it is;)  First RE appointment in on Tuesday.  Birthday is on Sunday - celebrating Saturday w/a trip to Mount Vernon (always wanted to go - but haven't been yet even though I have lived near-by for 5 years

QOTW - I love to watch the MTV show Made where kids get to have a dream come true (like being prom queen, becoming a skater chic, etc.).  If you could be on Made, what dream (non-TTC related) would you want to have come true?

TTC-Related - Have you bought any baby stuff in anticipation?  If so, what?

joyfulnature

Oh, you are very sneaky!! But I love the questions you are getting!

Update: This week totally sucked for me, to be honest. Had a D&C on Wednesday. I'm crampy today. All of you in the 2WW, send AF over here! I am hoping she doesn't take forever to return.

Possible questions: I like both TTC and non-TTC. I can't top the ones you've already received! But how about:

What is your favorite holiday and why? Least favorite and why?

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing it?

Strunella

Strunella, 40 and fabulous, NJ, TTC since 3/09.

What is your favorite dish to cook at home?  What talent do you wish you had?  Where is the one place in the world you most want to visit?  How many countries have you been to and where were you most recently?  Favorite Halloween candy as a kid?  Now?

jzc0106

Hi, please add me!

jzc0106--35, NJ, TTC since 4/09

just had a loss 2.5 weeks ago, so i am waiting for AF so we can get back on the TTC bandwagon! 

DMD1029

Update: We got our first ever BFP on 10/6; betas didn't quite double, but 1st u/s confirmed that it's not ectopic.  Next u/s on Tuesday.  I'm scared sh*tless! 

Love the idea of having non-TTC related questions.  It reminds me that I'm a real person who had other interests before TTC took over my life! 

ToshaGirl

Update on me:

Since the m/c last month, I haven't had AF but I "think" based on ewcm and when I had it, that I o'd last week. If that's the case that is encouraging, as that would be right on schedule.

If that is the case, I am 7dpo"ish". If not, just waiting for AF to show. Then we'll go back to the RE for the next steps. 

 

ToshaGirl

Oh and you got some great questions! But here's one more:

What Character would you be on:

Facts of Life?

Friends?

Sex in the City?

 

LMHCnewlywed

Like this post please add me! I am glad to see I am not the only 41year old here!  TTC since 11/08.

 

Facts of Life: that is a tough one maybe Tootie.

Friends: Rachel

Sex in the City: Carrie

FlgBride

Update:  

I'm waiting to O, but it doesn't matter too much as I don't think we are going to "try" this month.  I came off BC in late January, but my body is still adjusting to real hormones.  I chart and it shows that I've been ovulating every month (Yay!), but this cycle I've had bleeding/spotting for over two weeks.  Ugh!  Back to the doctor this coming Tuesday......probably another round of Provera?  At this point, I wish that I have NEVER gone on BC.

QOTW ideas:

I'd like to see more getting to know you questions.  You seem like a great group of ladies, so I'd like to know little tidbits about each of you!   

sadie sadie

2ww for me.  I'm trying to be hopefull given I had clomis and HSG this month.  RE not so much.  Testing will be the week we are at Disney.  Can it please really be the happies place on earth.

 

I love getting to know you questions.  Favorite books? TV?  Movies?

Babsie7

Babsie7, 36 as of Sept., from CA, ttc since 11/07

Update: I'm still (CD31) on bcp for my cysts. I'm hoping that at my next appt (10/23) RE will be telling me that my cysts are gone and we can resume with our IUI schedule. Otherwise I may be looking at a Lap for my larger more persistent cyst.

As for questions, I like the getting to know you / "what is you favorite ___" type questions. I've gotten some great book and movie suggestions from the ttc boards.

Missy0708

Please add me too!

 

Missy0708, 38, NY, TTC since 1999 (on & off)

 

I am in 2ww but DH was travelling during my O time.  We had sex 3 days before O, so our chances are slim to none this cycle!  I have an appt with the RE next week.  Good luck to everyone!

boymamaco

What questions do you want to see here for QOTW? 

I think non-TTC questions are great. Favorite activity, favorite vacation spot, what you are happiest about in your life, what would you like to change the most? s

I'm in the TWW right now. Pretty sure its not going to happen. Our timing wasn't great. Wasn't terrible either but we got pretty stressed out with work stuff right around O time and didnt hit the nail on the head. I am just hoping that I will take the arrival of AF better than I did last month. I was pretty worked up...

GL to all!
