Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Just started! Got OPKs and 'practiced' last night...not ovulating, and still waiting on AF after baby, but really excited that the doctor was supportive of trying right away. 

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

Nope 

QOTW: How do you stay busy and occupy your mind during the 2WW?

Not here yet but last time I would try testing way too soon... So not sure how I will try to keep my self occupied this time around.

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

I want to be pregnant! I want to have the worst m/s in the world so I know baby is growing! I just want to have a little miracle growing inside me.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?Cycle 7. I don't temp or use OPKs so I am just trying to listen to my body (recognizing O pain, emotional status, etc.)
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?I made an appointment to see my doctor a week from today. Since I am AMA, she told me to come in if no results after 6 months. 
QOTW: How do you stay busy and occupy your mind during the 2WW?Try not to think about. Remind myself that I will know soon enough. It is hard sometimes.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Just wondering what's going on with my body. My cycles have been wonky since Annabelle's birth. I also just recently remembered that at my last ultrasound, the tech said that I had a cyst, so I would like to get that checked on in case that is causing some issues.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? On day 3 of taking provera (sp?) to jumpstart my period, hopefully it helps my cycles return to normal. Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? No, I met with the MFM last week to talk about future options. QOTW: How do you stay busy and occupy your mind during the 2WW? Last time I got pregnant we weren't really TTC (but I was still keeping track of CM- and was hopeful it would happen without having to start temping etc.) , but I thought our timing was so off so the 2WW was easy. This time I think every BFN will be so hard for me...it's going to be a long 2 weeks. Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My brothers wedding is this weekend, and I'm totally dreading it. I haven't seen my extended family since Jillians funeral. I'm a bridemaid and I feel like everyone's going to be looking at me and judging me - out of concern, but still. I just want to crawl into a hole. The only other thing on my mind is TTC...I keep using the EDD calculator and doing the "well if I get my period today, and we get a BFP this month then I'll be due around **/**/**". It's really a bad idea and I know I'm just setting myself up to be disappointed if it doesn't work out how I hope, but I can't help it.

Hi! Thanks for doing the check in!

We are currently on CD19 of cycle 3. I am not temping this cycle, so I'm not sure if I'm in the 2ww.

No relevant appointments!

I have yet to find a way to stay occupied during the 2ww. I just consider the what ifs the entire time.

I am really thinking that if I were to get KU this cycle, my EDD would be right after Mason's year Angelversary. That is very scary for me, but also gives me hope for this cycle.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?About 2 weeks in right now
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?Just my annual appointment some time this week (just got back from vacation and have no idea what the date is today let alone the day of the week)
QOTW: How do you stay busy and occupy your mind during the 2WW?I'm just trying really hard not to think about any of it as much as possible.  Wasn't trying when we found out we were having Corbin so hoping this goes the same way
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Corbin - he should be a year old now.  While on vacation we visited a lot of cathedrals and churches and every chance we had we lit a candle for him.  He had one lit in Greece, Sicily, Rome and Florence.  Glad we were able to do that but I got choked up every time.  Also, being on a cruise, we met a lot of people and were constantly being asked the question of "do you have any kids?"  DH let me answer most of the time since he has to deal with it at home a lot more than I do since I worked from home.  It was difficult at times but we got through it.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

We are a little over 3 weeks in.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? 

Nothing right now.

QOTW: How do you stay busy and occupy your mind during the 2WW?

I'm only 4 days into my 2WW and so far so good. I think part of that is I look at this cycle more as a "is everything normal" cycle.  I feel like I'm gathering data for an appointment in 6 months (I'm so used to not being able to get a BFP that I assume that will continue).  DH, on the other hand, cracked a little and let me know how excited he is about this process. He has been very "if it happens it happens" but last night he asked if AF came yet (It was only CD23 so he is little clueless).  When I told him that we had around two more weeks before the crazy POAS days happen, he said no, we won't be crazy about that, we will be calm and rational.  I love that man. 

Open Topic - what's on your mind this week?

The upcoming holidays. I am really not looking forward to them.
