Re: **Trying For A Sibling Check-in**
QOTW: I love all things pumpkin, so just about anything that you can put pumpkin in I do! I make pumpkin rolls, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie...yum, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
Update: Thank God I went to see my gyne this week. I got such good information about myself that I never knew before. Weird that I didn't know it...but, I guess when I had gone through all of my tube problems in the past I just wasn't in the mindset where I could handle it...or I didn't understand the magnitude since I wasn't married, not TTC, etc. In any case...like Baboo said...I'm on the train! I'm gearing up for O sometime this weekend...and with it being my 34th birthday on Friday I'm pretty excited! I've got a Steelers party all planned for Sunday with my whole family. It's going to be great. Would be even greater if we made another little Steelers fan, too.
GL to everyone who's gearing up for O this week, or for those of you who are testing! We need some TFAS BFP's!
Baboo...great job with the check ins. You rock!
QOTD: Anything pumpkin! We try different recipes with it all the time. My fav is pumpkin zucchini bread.
I should O sometime this weekend to early next week but we are on CD8 tonight so we will begin having sex tonight every night/every other night. I am hoping this is the month!
QOTD: I don't have any recipes exactly...but I love apples.... apple cider, apple donuts, apple pie.
Update: 12 dpo today, BFN, spotted for 4 days (thought it was AF, but was too light). Will test again tomorrow.
~after 34 cycles we finally got our 2nd little bundle of joy~

My IF blog
I'm back...I used to be on the list, but I don't see me anymore. We're trying for #2. I'm going next week to have my blood drawn to test my progesterone levels. The damn lab tech at my new OB/GYN is a vampire, so I'm not looking forward to it. She hurts! But I am looking forward to moving to the next step and hopefully figuring out what's going on with me.
My favorite Fall meal is either Italian sausage/meatball subs with provolone {made in the crock pot, super easy} or homemade pasta Bolognese with tons of fresh parmesan cheese.
Woohoo! Congratulations to Mari!
QOTD: My favorite fall recipe is chocolate chip pumpkin bread. I just made some this week and it is soooo good! Mmmm....
Cycle Update: I got a +OPK today, so I should be Oing in the next couple of days. Hurrah!
Blog
Hello all TFASers
QOTD:My favorite fall recipe is a pumpkin loaf recipe I found online while trying to find the recipe for Starbucks pumpkin loaf. It tastes exactly the same as starbucks, I make it all season long.
TTC update: I started charting about 10 days ago just to keep track of what was going on with my body and after experiencing O pains on friday I decided to start using OPKs. After putting in my temp today I got solid CHs for Saturday. Looks like I'm in the 2WW.
QOTD: I love the pumpkin ooey gooey cake (Paula Deen recipe). It's super yum.
TTC: I'm 10dpo and I'm wishin', hopin' and prayin' that this is "it"! DH is convinced it is. My temps are looking good and I'm having cramps, but different than usual. Hopefully that's a good thing. I'm testing Saturday.
QOTD: Once pheasant season is open, DH brings me lots of pheasant to cook with. My fav recipe is for Phesant Puffs. We make them all the time and usually take some to Thanksgiving dinner. Always a big hit.
TTC: Not much going on. My scheduled test date is Oct 9th so we'll see what happens. DH has been out of town a lot so we only had sex once around O time. KMFX!
Good luck and lots of positive vibes to all!
May, your chart looks great! I'll be stalking you. GL!!!
QOTD: My favorite Fall recipe is sweet potato souffle. I can't wait to make it again!
QOTD: Mmmmm...food containing any of the following ingredients: apples, cinnamon, butternut squash, brown sugar, apple cider, yams, potatoes, pumpkin, nutmeg...and the list goes on! I loooove to eat
UPDATE: Waiting to O - should be between Tuesday and Friday of next week. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow to talk to my GP about the next step in TTC and hopefully she'll give a referral to a specialist that I can see in a month or two. I'm also hoping she'll give me a req. for 7DPO bloodwork so that I can get that done this cycle. Glad to get the ball rolling. Thanks for the mention
Congrats to Mari and GL to all of you in the 2WW!!

Shiiiiiit. I provide the QOTD and then I'm late to the game.
WOOT WOOT!! Congrats Mari!!! And Lopes, I don't think I've ever been so excited to see AF
QOTD: I love applesauce! And apple pie! And apple butter! And soup
Last night we had french onion soup in the crockpot. Yummy!
TTC: This is our "last ditch" cycle. I'm trying it all. EPO, the POM, Preseed, ect. We have an RE appt. on the 26th on October, but I'm holding out hope that I'm getting KU. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with having been charting and trying "hard core" (<---- DH's terms) for 10 months (11 cycles) plus over 5 years of just "trying" without charting. So, fingers crossed!!!
QOTD: It's an oldie but goodie, PUMPKIN PIE. I can't get enough of it. Along with pumpkin ice cream and lattes. Pretty much anything with pumpkin.
Update: I haven't been on in a few months. I posted a re-introduction earlier but we put TTC on hold for a few months. My daughter was attacked by a dog in July. She had to undergo reconstruction surgery to her face. We don't know yet if she will have to have anymore we are just waiting to see how her scaring is. It's over half of her face and her nose had to be sewn back on. If you saw her you really wouldn't even think that it was that bad in the begining. I am so proud of her. She truly was a trooper. Even the DR's couldn't believe it. She is asking for a sibling again so we have decided to start trying again. I just finished AF so let the BDing begin. I can't tell you how happy I am to be back. Good luck to all of you!!!!
I make a mean pumpkin bread, and plan on posting as my fav fall thing for the October siggy challenge.
TTGP: ehh, waiting to OV. However, I got a new BBT, and plan on trying Pre-seed this cycle
Hi - I'm new. (Sort of)
QOTD: We love to make soup! Hungarian Mushroom Soup (Moosewood Cookbook) and Italian Wedding (Barefoot Contessa) are 2 of our favorites. I also love squash and any fall root vegetable - parsnips, sunchokes... yum!
Update: I am nearing the end of cycle 2 (TTC #2). I had a temp dip this morning so not feeling too hopeful. DH is weaning himself off anxiety meds (which have been associated with lowering male fertility although he hasn't been tested). He should be fully off his meds when I O next time so in my mind the clock really starts ticking then. Good luck to all!
QOTD: My mom makes a pumpkin apple pie every Thanksgiving that I love.
TTC: I don't know when I O'd, or if I even O'd. I'm so over my stupid temps. With DH out of town and DS and I going to visit him on occasion, that probably doesn't help. I thought this cycle would be a bust, but I'd just like to know when to expect AF. I'm trying to really focus on being healthier and hope for those darn CHs at some point.
