Re: CB check in-TLR, lsu, raven etc
Perfect timing for me- I just came on to see if the check in was up.
Thanks for posting! How are you doing GRM?
CD/dpo: CD17 (not charting or using OPKs, so not positive of I date but kind of think it was 1/1)
How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet? Doing pretty well today. Yesterday was super emotional because my neighbor wanted to talk about my loss when I ran into her at the grocery store. Think I am probably past FW and in the 2ww. Made it 7 nights in a row of BDing and kind of ready for a break, although it has made us laugh a lot more too (not exactly sure why) so that's been good for our marriage. Already feeling anxious to test but no point to testing now. If any of us do get BFPs, what is the appropriate way to announce for this check in? Message GRM so she can post a warning? Not say anything here? I haven't done a CB check in before.
QOTD: What are you doing this weekend that is not TTCAL related? Going to lunch, shopping and for pedis with a friend from college. It's been a while since we have gotten together kid free so I am really looking forward to this.
CD/dpo: CD 16, 1 DPO? I got a pos OPK yesterday AM and again this AM

Major crazy creeping in. I've been spotting since Wednesday. What is that about? I thought it could be O spotting, but who knows. I'm sort of given up on this cycle with all my spotting, but I'm still making DH and I BD.
QOTD: What are you doing this weekend that is not TTCAL related?
I will probably be forced into watching the Vikings game tomorrow. Boring! I'm also meeting with some moms from my loss group Sunday. Should be a good time!
Thanks for running the check-in!
7 days in a row! You go girl!
I hope your 7 days did the trick!!
As far as posting BFP I do feel we should be able to share them within our CB group.FP, especially someone in the group. I would think that PMing me so I can set up a warning at the top of the post for the check in. I won't put a warning in the title encase it upsets a member of the board that is not in our check-in...or maybe I should do it separate from the check in???-thoughts?

Since this mornings was also positive, my guess is your O day will be today. Can you link your chart again? Now that I am on my computer I can friend you.
The spotting could def. be O related, don't give up hope ever

I think how you handled it last time was good. Within our group, posting BFPs is fine with me. Maybe in the title warn about potential BFPs? I'm fine with whatever though!
I think this link should work

I was inspired by GRM and all her BDing. Plus since DH doesn't want me to chart we have to have our bases covered
I am glad I inspired you....tell your DH I take 'thank yous' in the form of wine

I sent you a friend request. why is today's temp an open circle? I would say today is hopefully your O day...unfortunately until you have a sustained rise ff won't confirm it. GL!!!

I would love to hear about BFPs too, but wanted to be sensitive if anyone would prefer not to.
Was there anything off with the really low temp??? Is it reliable? If you take it out do you get CH? I hope that your temps stay up and you did O on CH14...which means you are 4dpo. FX those CHs show up and I hope you feel better!

Hey lovelies!!
CD/dpo: 5 days past trigger; 4 DPO (?)
How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet? Crazy definitely creeping in.....the days are slooowly going by. I've been testing out my trigger and I swear it's not getting any lighter. Grrrr.
QOTD: What are you doing this weekend that is not TTCAL related? Just some studying (so not fun) and maybe cleaning out our guest bedroom. I have waaay too many clothes laying around that should be in closets/drawers.
BFP #2: 8/31/12 EDD: 5/18/13 Chemical pregnancy: 9/4/12
BFP #3: 5/17/13 EDD: 1/24/14 Loss at 5 weeks: 5/29/13
Lots of testing, all clear with the exception of compound heterozygous for the MTHFR mutation.
Cycle 1: Femara, trigger shot, Bravelle added due to slow response = BFN
Cycle 2: Cancelled due to two cysts =(
Cycle 3: Femara, Bravelle, trigger shot and IUI = BFP then loss #3
Cycle 4: Femara, Follistim, trigger shot and IUI = BFP! EDD: 6/7/14
PGAL/PAL welcome
Honestly, I don't know. Haha
I should clarify that I'm using a normal thermometer, so all my temps could just be off. My thought process was I'd get into the practice of temping and if I didn't get a BFP this month, I'd get really serious about it next time.
Sorry that you are sick. I hope you are feeling better soon!
7 days in a row? Both you and GRM have impressive BD'ing skills.

I was on vacation last week at the IL's, and did a horrible job temping. I didn't set an alarm, so my temps are all over the place. I've also been sick the last week.
As crazy as that would normally make me, I don't seem to be worked up yet. Maybe it's the upcoming trip. I do wish FF would give me some CH's though!

If you took your temp at a different time or didn't get 3 hours of sleep it would mark as sleep deprived. And yes using a regular thermometer can make a bigger difference than you think. Hopefully you won't need to, but if you don't get pregnant this cycle I would get one. I bought mine off amazon for like 4.
GL! And I will start stalking your chart :

I've been too busy at work for crazy! Seriously, this week has been hell. I do feel like my vagina is going to fall off from too much sex, so we'll see.
QOTD: What are you doing this weekend that is not TTCAL related?
I'm going to Mexico on Sunday for work, so tomorrow will be spent doing errands, packing, etc.
I am so glad you od before your trip.
I totally agree about the serious bding....i told dh I was on pelvic rest for a few days haha.

How is everyone doing today? Any crazy creeping in? Anyone in the FW or 2ww yet?
Doing pretty good. Not really stressing about this cycle. I am still kinda using this cycle to figure out what my body is doing. DH comes home in 5 days and if my body sticks with what it did last cycle I should O that day. We shall see.
QOTD: What are you doing this weekend that is not TTCAL related?
Nothing really. Just going to lay around. I'm supposed to get together with my family and have a dinner before my sister goes back to school in FL.
I will let him know
Hi GRM,
Well, to update from my saga the other day, I did call my doctor and spoke with a really nice nurse. I explained everything and she basically said "it sounds like there is something going on, you better come in to be looked at". I can't see my regular doctor because he's out, so she was able to squeeze me in with a different doctor in the same office, so at least he'll have my chart. My head is swimming, and of course I'm imagining all the worst case scenarios. I have to wait until Tuesday to get any answers, so suffice to say it is going to be a long weekend.
Thanks for keeping me on the check-in, even though this cycle is a bust. I like having a safe place to vent my frustrations.
So sorry this cycle its a bust. Hope the doctor will have some answers for you Tuesday and that this weekend passes more quickly than you expect
I really hope the doctor is able to give you some answers!!! I am glad they took your concerns seriously! FX Tuesday comes fast!

Hi Ladies! I'm always so late to check in. GRM, thanks again for running this. Last CB group I was in , I asked the other members if they minded BFP announcements. They were good with it and I think I just posted a warning within the thread. ... I think. I need to go back and check! The CB group I was in before that had 2 graduates, but we didn't talk about it in the thread and I regret that we didn't acknowledging that.
Anywho,
CD/dpo: I am CD 17, and just got my crosshairs today, so 3DPO and I am officially in the 2WW. The crazy usually sets in around 9-10 DPO, so I'm not there yet.
QOTD: I am finally taking my Christmas tree and decorations down this weekend! I also have to go to a baptism.
Yay for them, gut punch for me.
