This is a check in for: TLR813, lsuhoneybadger, ravenclaw1, LAMCH1980, lindsayhilleary, LunaBug924, waterfall11, starburst0928, km_md and cntgstrs
This is the point in our cycles for many of us where we are coming towards the end. I am on CD2. I was thinking that our check-in on Friday could be open to new members and if you either got your BFP, or are at a different point in your cycle of TTCAL journey and would not like to continue being a cycle buddy please let me know. Also if you would like to be added to the check-in please let me know
Hey ladies, this check in is to help us all through the AF/FW/2ww and all the craziness in between.
CD/dpo:
How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in?
Are you in the FW, 2ww, why the fucck would you ask me GRM I have no clue what's going on, that crazy biotch AF has come, I got my BFP :
QOTD: If you could eat any food and not gain weight what would it be?

Re: CB check in for TLR, lsu, raven etc (BPF warning!!!!!!)
First I want to say congratulations again to waterfall11 and LAMCH1980. I am so excited for you both!
CD/dpo: CD2...boo
How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? I was sad over the weekend, but I am better today. It was very hard to see nice temps and then a BFN, but I came up with a "plan" for this cycle and I hope it will help.
Are you in the FW, 2ww, why the fucck would you ask me GRM I have no clue what's going on, that crazy biotch AF has come, I got my BFP : AF came...but it will be ok
QOTD: If you could eat any food and not gain weight what would it be? probably twice baked potatoes...yum!

How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? Doing ok. Kinda glad to start a new cycle(since I didn't know WTH was going on last cycle). Was totally surprised when I woke up this morning and got AF wasn't expecting it for a little while longer.
Are you in the FW, 2ww, why the fucck would you ask me GRM I have no clue what's going on, that crazy biotch AF has come, I got my BFP : AF is here.. no big deal since I wasn't really worried about trying last cycle.
would you like to continue to be CB's?
I remember this wasn't the best timing this last cycle. I hope this cycle is better!

Yes I would really like to continue being CB's if you'll have me! DH will be home this cycle so we will definitely have a better chance than last cycle!
Hey ladies, hoping its ok for me to join?!?
CD/dpo: Cd5
How is everyone doing today?
Today was one of the longest days I have had in a long time. Besides having a long day, I doing ok! I am excited to be able to start TTC this month.
Tomorow should be my first day that I get to uses my fertility monitor or the first day it ask for a pee stick. I am excited to see how this works out. Fx that I at least get back understand what my body is doing! Hope for BFP for all of us! Any crazy creeping in? The only thing that is driving me crazy is the fact of AF can't make up its mind whether it wants to stick around or go. I know your first cycle is always is wonky but it's starting to get on my nerves!
Are you in the FW, 2ww, why the fucck would you ask me GRM I have no clue what's going on, that crazy biotch AF has come, I got my BFP : Not really sure what FW is, can someone fill me in?
QOTD: If you could eat any food and not gain weight what would it be? I LOVE chocolate, but I would have to say pastries are my weakness!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE THIS MONTH!!!

Congrats you two! I'm so very jealous!
I'm 10 DPO (Maybe later? Maybe earlier?) and I've gotten 4 BFNs so far. Not testing until Thursday if AF doesn't show up tomorrow. I'm banking out being out this cycle and I'm so sad. Not to mention I'm going backwards in my grief of Bradley lately. Overall, things are not going well for me lately. But grief is a journey and I can't escape it.
I would eat pie. Yum. Way to ruin my diet for the night!!
Hi GRM, I'm sorry about AF. She's a b!tch! I'm glad you have a plan for this cycle though, and that you seem to be in good spirits.
Congrats to waterfall and LAMCH on their BFPs! I've been waiting for this to see who the lucky ones were. H&H 9 months to you ladies!
Well, I'm on CD28. AF isn't due till Friday, so I guess I'm really not CBs with this group anymore. Thanks for letting me ride along even though this cycle was a bust. GL to everyone this cycle!
No crazy here. I'm actually looking forward to AF's arrival because it means I can actually start trying. Being in "purgatory" this month was rough. I totally gave up on my chart which I feel kind of guilty about, but I think the break was good. I'm ready to jump in with both feet this cycle!
QOTD: The McDouble from McDonalds is a weakness of mine.
I am sorry star...grief is by far the longest journey in life. I am sorry you are having a difficult time. Was this your first TTCAL or 2nd? I can't remember. We can still be CB is that is good with you?

2nd cycle. I'd love to be CB, but I'll be trailing behind you. We'll see when AF comes next.
TTCAL sucks. Sorry for being the downer. I'm so mad it's not easier for all of us to get pregnant. It's not fair! We'd be great moms to living children!
I totally get it. It is such a long and emotional roller coaster. You will only be a few days behind me, and I was the earliest I think. No worries

My "plan" this cycle is to begin using mucieux on CD 7 (I usually O on CD12) and I am using a fertility monitor instead of opks because they are stressing me out. And I plan on doing EOD until prob CD10...then moving to ED for just 4 days...instead of 7....I think we might have BDed too much last cycle.
