Where are you in your TTCAL journey? 2 and a half weeks in
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?Annual appointment today.  Plan on asking the dr. lots of questions so I can do everything I can to get PG
QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving?Actually no.  We flip-flop holidays since my family is 3-4 hours away.  We call Thanksgiving when we have to go to my family's "sucky Thanksgiving" because it's at my aunt's and she's not a good cook and doesn't make enough food.  It's just wrong to want to go to McDonalds after eating your thanksgiving meal.  You should be too full!  
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Corbin as always.  Can't stop thinking "last year at this time we were home with him for ____ (at this point a week)".  The whole TTCAL thing as well.  I'm excited and scared to death all at the same time.  I feel like now that I know so many mommies with so many different situations, I can't help but be scared that a multitude of things can happen.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

Exactly one week in. Still no PP period but I've been tracking my ovulation with OPKs. I think it was last weekend, so hopefully we caught it!

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

Nope. 

QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving?

I don't think so. Like most of us here, I pictured Thanksgiving with a child. That's not happening anymore, and nothing would make me more thankful than a healthy baby boy. 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

People judging me for TTC so soon. If you don't want to hear an answer of ASAP then don't ask... For me, TTC in no way takes away from Bradley.

  Where are you in your TTCAL journey? This is cycle number 1 and I'm on CD5   Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope   QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving? No, I'm dreading it. I have to try not to stress, because hopefully I will O around then. I don't know if stressing affects O, but it can't help it.   Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I just keep trying to brace myself for a BFN, but I know I'll be devastated.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? This is my first cycle TTCAL.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I have an IUI tomorrow.

QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving? Food?  Black Friday?  That's it. Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  TTCAL.  And the loss.  TTCAL is harder emotionally than I expected.  I don't know how I will handle a BFN and am just trying to be optimistic that a BFP is just around the corner.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?In the middle of the tww. 
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?Nope.
QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving?Maybe testing a couple of days early to see if I have one more thing to be thankful for. idk if I will tho, we'll see.  Also, the food!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Brianna, she'd be 10 months now. I wouldn't even be trying anymore had I not lost her. Or be anywhere near as sad.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?Cycle 7.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?Just had an appointment with OB this morning. She wants me to start temping and checking CM so that I can figure out when it is that I am actually ovulating. It kind of freaks me, but it should help. 
QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving?Getting through it! I am dreading it, but know that it is just another hurdle to pass.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Freaking out about starting to temp. I never got that far with my last 2 pregnancies. I just hope that I don't get too obsessive!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?Just starting for real, although we never were TTA. My cycles have always been irregular, I might be on day 15 of this cycle, but I'm really not sure Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?I had an appointment with my OB earlier this week to talk about TTC and the possibility of using clomid again. (I got pregnant with Julian on cycle 2 of clomid) QOTW: Do you have anything to look forward to this Thanksgiving?Even though Thanksgiving will be emotional, I'm looking forward to seeing my parents and brothers, who will be coming from out of town.  Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?I've started to obsess about TTC a little too much, so I need to relax and get things back in perspective. Acupuncture yesterday helped : )
