What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle?
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week?
QOTW: What is the best/worst gift you have ever given/received?
Re: TTC - Tuesday Check In 7.30.13
Vent: I have a feeling my cycles are going to go back to being short, 21-26 days. I know it's not a huge deal but there is no rhyme or reason to the length. Pre kids, even post Ollie, my cycles were 27/28 days. Ever since G and especially post BF, they are shorter and within a 5 day window. Do you know if short cycles can lead to ttc issues?
Best gift? DH proposed on Christmas Eve, that was part of my gift.
Worst gift? Also a Christmas present from DH. The year before he proposed he gave me a huge present with lots of little ones all wrapped inside one another. The last box was a ring box. Inside the ring box? A flash drive. I was pissed to say the least. Not a bad gift but you don't get a girls hopes up like that.
What cycle are you in and where are you at in your cycle? 10th cycle, 11th month, CD7
Do you have a question, brag or vent to share with the group this week? I just got back from the RE and I feel disappointed. I really liked my OB and I know she has no knowledge with anything more than OB, she just made me feel more comfortable. All he did was ask how I was reacting to the Metormin he prescribed me (everything seems fine to me), and said I should lose 25lbs. Then he says try Metformin for the next couple months, then we'll move onto Clomid. I was literally there and back and stopped at subway within my hour lunch break.
QOTW: What is the best/worst gift you have ever given/received? Mine is similar to serendipity - best was my engagement ring from DH (he proposed on my birthday), and the worst was when I was so sure he was going to propose, he handed me a tiffany box that was square, which held a necklace. I wanted to cry.

I "think" between cd9-12, just depends on how long that cycle is. Like I said, I don't temp so I'm basing if off of when AF shows up, CM, and ovary type cramping <There's an actual term for that I think.
Luteal phase is the time between O and AF, right? That I think I'm good with.
I thought I read somewhere that if you O too early then you aren't releasing a mature egg and that could cause problems too.
Having the mc has made me very aware of what my body is doing. I'm probably way over thinking but sometimes it's hard not to.

2. Work has been really stressful lately, but too much to go into here. Brag is J is on his way to being PT'd!
3. Most recent worst gift was last year my mom got me a pretzel maker for Christmas. I was on weight watchers at the time, which makes it even worse. But even if I wasn't dieting, the thing was a piece of crap.
Best gift was,my kindle. DH completely surprised me with it.
I'm on cycle 7, I'm 4 dpo. We tried to conceive a beach baby, lol.
Gripe: while away I've come to the conclusion that I need to make a change at work. When I get back I'm going to ask for a demotion to a less stressful, true part time position. This had been a long time coming, I just cannot do it anymore.
Worst gift? Hmm not sure. Usually the gifts from MIL are pretty bad. One year she gave me a super sexy raunchy one piece from Victorias secret, and I opened it with all the men in the family watching me, that was awesome.

@spitsngiggles- yay for almost being potty trained! DD has peed in the potty only twice and it's been at daycare. I'm hoping to be out of diapers by the time she's 3. That's a nice buffer. The pretzel maker made me laugh...especially when you were on WW. Some people...
@kjknaj - Good luck with bringing up the demotion. Do you think they will take that well? I'm being trained for a supervisor position (she's been here 35 years, so expecting her to retire in the near future) but I'm not sure I want it. She works a lot and seems stressed out. I'm not sure if I am ready for that right now. Of course the pay would be nice.
Good luck to both of you in the 2WW!
