ETA: Moved mgh2008 to TTC :)

Re: ~*~December Snow Angels Check-In~*~

  • Hi ladies!


    I am currently waiting to O, and I'm surprised at the amount of green on my chart! I usually don't get a lot of fertile CM, but I have a lot today, so I'm thinking that today might be O day. I was a little on edge this week, because every month I have charted, I have always O'd on CD 13 -- except the month I got a BFP, which was on CD 16, so I'm hoping that's a good sign that today is also CD 16! FX, anyway.


    So that's where I'm at now. I am praying for CHs to show up soon. This point in the cycle is my least favorite by far. It sucks to hold my breath each morning and pray the thermometer shows me what I want it to.


    GTKY: If I could choose any super power, I would choose to be able to see the future -- but only select things, I wouldn't want to know everything, that's for sure. Specifically, I would like to know exactly when I will get a BFP so that I can calm the f*** down!


    P.S. weaslewam -- not sure if you saw it, but I sent you a PM yesterday. :)

    Hey, sorry I didn't see the PM until AFTER I posted this message! I think doing the December TTC/TTA buddies is an EXCELLENT idea! As I mentioned in a post earlier this week, I have found a buddy like that and having her to talk to CONSTANTLY has been extremely helpful! I think we could all use someone like that who really knows what we're all going through. GREAT IDEA!

    Also, I would LOVE that super power. If you ever get it, please let me know when I'll see my BFP and when I'll have a healthy baby (hopefully they're one in the same!)

    Hello ladies!!   Hope everyone is having a good day so far! 

    ashleen223: Less than a month until you start TTC again!! I hope that work picks up for you (just slightly) and you can make it until then :)

    I know!!  I can't wait.  I'm excited and scared out of my mind all at the same time.  I'm a natural worrier... I swear it runs in my family.  Work is still blah, but I'm doing better with it and just appreciating the fact that I have a job with benefits.  I interviewed for a job yesterday that doesn't allow you to take sick leave until after 6 months.  That will not work if I do happen to get pregnant in the near future. 

    GTKY: If you could choose any superpower... what would it be?

    I would like to read minds... especially DH's.  I just don't get his thought process sometimes and when he's upset about something, he won't say what it is...  And I'm nosey! 

    I wish I could tell you not to worry but I have the same problem! If only we didn't have so much stress in our lives... ahhhh

    Reading minds would be INSANE! Can you imagine how much you'd be able to do!?!

    Hello, all. No, I'm not having more testing in 5 days. I'm done with testing since my HSG and pelvic u/s came back normal. We're TTC and that ticker is for 5 days until I can POAS. I'm not getting my hopes up b/c I've been having phantom symptoms. Plus, this week is just a rough week. My Aug. EDD is on Friday and I'm dreading it. I just don't feel like myself and I've been pretty depressed about the looming EDD. Ugh, please pass the cookies Crying I need comfort food this week.

    GTKY: I would choose invisibility for sure.

    Hehe DUH WEASLEWAM! That makes more sense now!

    I'm so sorry about your Aug. EDD coming up Friday... I wish I could give you a real life (((HUG))) because it seems like you need it... I hope that you have something planned to honor the memory of your loss.

  • Hi ladies,

    Well, I posted my intro over on PGAL this Monday.  I thought I was out for the month but things took a great turn.  It's still early and I hope that this is my rainbow baby.  I just want to say that you are all amazing women and I am so glad to have gotten to know you. You have truly been an inspiration and support to me.  I hope to see your names soon over on PGAL-I will hold a sticky place for you.

  • Hi Ladies!  Late to the party as usual:)  Nothing much going on here- cd2, but you can officially move me over to ttc this month.  Not getting my hopes up, but still a little exciting to begin moving forward.

    Hmmm, my super power would have to be to be able to click my heals three times and have whatever I want.  That's not too much to ask is it?

  • roxycc55:    How has the job transition been going? I'm glad things are going smoothly even though you're in a dark time right now :)

    Thanks, me too! And can I just say how much I look forward to these check ins and how well you keep up with us!

    The job transition is INSANELY stressful, but overall going well. I can't wait until September when I'm completely switched over and we are moved to our new place so a new routine can start. My life is about to be much crazier at my job, but I think it's gonna be a good thing definitely. Side note my FIs best friend has been staying on our couch the last six days and is finally leaving today. Thank God.

    GTKY: I would like to have the super power of a calm mind... Does that count? Haha.

    I think your superpower definitely counts! It's extremely difficult to keep your mind calm when things are stressful like moving from one job to another!

    I am currently in the 2WW of my 2nd post MC cycle.  I should be able to POAS next Tuesdat...hope I can wait that long!

  • SunshinyLees When are you and DH moving into your new place? And leads on selling your condo?

    Hi ladies!! I'm so late with the check-in! Just got back from my work golf tournament and checking the Bump before bed!! ( Its 10:30 here). 

    DH & I are moving into our new place end of October so we still have a few months left to sell our condo!! We have another open house Sunday, wish us luck!!

    Like Lindsay, we are also in the 2 w wait and I'm so anxious about it. I'm finding myself constantly obsessing over ttc and it's all I can think about. I'm going to a massage and yoga tomorrow night to try and get my mind off it all, hoping it will be a nice distraction!

    Hope you all have a wonderful week! Thanks for keeping up with the check-in Weasle wam;) Lees xx

    GTKY: If you could choose any superpower... what would it be? DH and I are huge travellers so the ability to fly anywhere and anytime for free would be amazing!!

    Hi ladies! 

    Well, it was back to school this week at my new district so I have a whole new crop of fresh faced 8th graders and so far, I love them!  I'm so thrilled to be back to work and not simply at home obsessing.


    annarussell05:    Beautiful CH's! I bet you're just anxious for next month when you can TTC :)


    Thank you!!  It's driving me NUTS watching my chart actually look the way it was described and I seriously cannot wait to shed the TTA label soon!  I think as soon as AF shows up, I'll count myself in the TTC group again :)


    GTKY: If you could choose any superpower... what would it be?

    Wisdom so I could outsmart anyone at any time!


     I am an 8th grade teacher too!! We don't start for another 2 weeks, and I always feel so nervous/excited as the school year approaches! Ready for my summer job to end so I can get ready for my new bunch. You guys start super early!

  • Sorry I'm late, I don't know how I missed this yesterday! 

    Judging by my OPKs and ovulation pain today, I'm expecting my temp to go up tomorrow, which is good. We had good timing, (O-4 through O) but in the past I haven't gotten pregnant on cycles where we DTD every day so we'll see.

    GTKY: I'd love to have a super intellect.
