The (official) TTC PAL check in! (Peanut2929)

MickeyM04 · August 2013

Hi ladies,

I got a couple of bites of interest so let's do it then! Anyone TTC or NTNP or thinking about TTC, or temporarily TTA, or whatever else I forgot is welcome!

To get the ball rolling:

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)?

How long have you been TTC?

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with?

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)?

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall.

MickeyM04 · August 2013

I'll start! (surprise surprise)

What part of your cycle are you in: 2WW, not sure how far in though since I got about 400 positive OPKs...or more like 4-5, but same difference.

How long have you been TTC? This is our first cycle actively trying, although I have not been on BC since before DS, so I guess we were probably NTNP for awhile.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? We have 1 DS, and I am hoping for 3 total, but DH wants 2.

What is the thing that is making you most nuts right now? The 2WW! I forgot how sucky it is! Plus I have like no faith since it's our first cycle, so it's almost like I know it's destined for failure. And since I got so many positive OPKs, I don't know when exactly I O'ed so I don't know when to test.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. I am a big GLEE fan and while the show has gone downhill for me I am very anxious to see how they handle the death of Cory Monteith on the show. But in terms of sheer enjoyment I am probably most looking forward to The Following.

I'll start by saying we are currently NTNP, I never went back on BC after B was born in February... We will be actively TTC by the end of the year.

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? I'm not temping, charting, or doing OPKs at this point, but I am about 99% sure I am in the 2WW. We did DTD during my fertile window, so who knows.

How long have you been TTC? Not officially TTC yet

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with?We have DS, who was born in February. I want 3-4, DH is pretty firm on 2, maybe 3. We've discussed the idea of 2 biological and then looking in foster care/ adoption down the road.

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? Work, money, and looking for a new home.... Oh, and we need to get a second car by the end of August. We've been borrowing my stepmom's Jeep all summer since DH's car took a giant crap, and she needs it back. So, the search is on to find a (cheap) reliable car for DH to take to work and back.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall.

I agree w/ @Peanut2929 about Glee and The Following. I am really interested to see where they take season 2. However, the show I am most looking forward to returning is The Walking Dead! Oh, and Scandal....

We're NTNP right now. DD is one, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if we found out we were pregnant again. My ideal time frame is early 2014, but I know I don't need to tell you ladies how you can't really plan for when it will happen. Honestly, I think I'd just like to get to know my cycle post-baby - AF has properly returned, I've had two consistent-ish cycles even though we're still BFing. If I can get her to STTN I'll start temping again, because it's kind of fun

Pretty sure I'm waiting to O right now, but again, not really tracking vigorously yet and probably won't until November or December.

We have one child, and I know we want at least two, possibly three.

AF is kind of a mystery. I got my first period PP in April, but then I didn't have another until June, but then one in July. So, we'll see what happens this month.

PARKS & REC. We're getting caught up on Hulu Plus right now. Love, love, love this show almost enough to actually watch it when it airs.

ksyknelvr73 · August 2013

Hello there - technically I run the "after loss" PALer check-in but I want to be a part of this one too if you'll have me...b/c I still have these crazy "regular" TTC feelings to deal with as well!

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? 2ww...I am 9 DPO today.

How long have you been TTC? Since March of this year.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? Just have DS, and he is 2.5. We always said we wanted 3, but I'm not sure b/c it depends how difficult it is to even have 2 at this point (which is proving to be difficult so far).

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? I really don't like my job right now. I am so unmotivated to be here and I just generally wish I could stop working. I actually like being a working mom but when a job is "blah" then I start to try and figure out all the ways I could stay at home. Not realistic.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. WALKING DEAD for sure. The season premiere is on mine and DH's anniversary, which is an awesome present for us

That's awesome! We are HUGE TWD fans in our house! I am throwing a viewing party that night- complete with zombie themed foods- brain jello molds (with alcohol, of course), severed fingers, etc, and guests are to come dressed as zombies! I am SO psyched! Still have the season finale from S3 saved in my DVR, so we'll watch the finale and then go right into the premiere.

Anywho, back to the actual topic of this thread....

MickeyM04 · August 2013

@ksyknelvr73 of course you are welcome! I just hope you aren't here terribly long if you know what I mean!!!

OMG I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD. I am way, way behind, though (we don't have cable). I've read the first three graphic novels and may just keep up that way until Netflix gives me the hookup

Also, I want to come to your party.

Oh wow! I am jealous of your viewing party, it sounds so fun! Wish I could come

But I guess DH and I will have a super romantic anniversary instead...LOL! It's okay, we both love it so much and are so psyched for the new season! I am assuming you saw the trailer for the season 4 right?? I got SO excited!

Oh em gee, yes! I watched it like 5 times! I love TWD so much, that is what I watched through all my home laboring, lol! We had recorded all the re-airs of season 2, and the first half of season 3, and I would sit in my living room on my exercise ball and bounce while I watched episode after episode of TWD, lol! I think I seriously watched like 8 in a row. Then my water broke and we had to go to the hospital.

If you and your DH weren't going to have a romantical evening, you could def come to our party!

@RusalkaSings- You can totally come to our party, too! We deck the house out, too. (We've had these parties before, but for Resident Evil movies) I created "boards" that go over the windows and a huge Biohazard sign for the door. I think I may make a "Don't Open, Dead Inside" sign for the front door this year!

Wow, we have totally hijacked this thread....

Oops

Well we hijacked it but it's b/c of the best show ever. Your party seriously sounds so awesome. Do you get into Halloween too? We go ALL OUT for Halloween, so technically, our house will be decorated when the show comes back...

Junebug060609 · August 2013

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? CH's are apparently eluding me this cycle, but I should be 4-5 DPO.

How long have you been TTC? Not sure how to answer that. We never were preventing after DS, but AF didn't return until 8.5m pp (June 2012). I had a second m/c in Nov 2012, and we've been trying since we were cleared to (late Dec 2012) with zero luck. I guess either 14 months or about 9 months, depending on how you look at it...both of which are kind of depressing. RE's are involved since I'm AMA.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? We have one. Wanted 3. We're planning on stopping after 2 if we are so lucky due to our age (nearly 37).

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? Honestly I'm in a pretty good place now that DS is making improvements. I got a bit of a gut punch today reading that someone that had a loss after mine is now 30 weeks pg. I knew she was KU, but hadn't realized it was that long ago. Man, I'm a ray of sunshine on the TTC front, aren't I?

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall.
I'm not really into TV much. Does Sesame Street come up with new episodes then? Because that would be nice, lol.

CheesyPeas · August 2013

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? im currently waiting to O.

However long have you been TTC? Thats a a complicated question. My cycle returned at about 11 months post partum, and i had planned to monitor my cycle for a while and then jump in. My body had other plans and I'm still working through trying to get my body back on track. If i had any say in this, i would be about 6 months pregnant by now but instead I've spent months tta while monitoring. I'm pissed at and frustrated by my body. My cycle has been back for almost 11 months now.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? I have one DS and have always wanted 3 but DH is firm on 2. I guess we'll see.

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related): well my body for starters but work is super busy right now too so ive been late to pick up DS every day this week. Stinks.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. We only have the basic cable package and thus only watch the major networks in primetime. I really like New Girl though and Parks and Rec. I feel a bit like a teeny bopper saying this but I'm also a Vampire Diaries fan and am looking forward to that and The Originals.

Mom2anAngel2 · August 2013

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)?

I am currently waiting to O. It should happen any day now. This is only my second cycle, but it is much more like my typical cycle than the last one.

How long have you been TTC?

This is only our second cycle. i am charting mucous only right now, but will probably start OPKs next cycle.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with?

DS was born in January. We would love 3 to 5 children, but i am not holding my breath on the, as it took so long to have 1.

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)?

Right now I am going crazy with TTC but thinking that if we are lucky and it happens right away, that the timing could be bad. My brother is getting married next Memorial weekend and i am in the wedding party. My AL brain stresses over having to tell anyone too soon with the fear of having a loss. And since our loss was at 19 weeks, too early for me is pretty late. We didn't tell many people anout DS until after our AS at 18.5 weeks. I know I would have to tell earlier because of dress fittings.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall.

DH and I are addicted to Blue Bloods. I am also a fan of Tim Allen's Last Man Standing.

crystalknpp · August 2013

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? I am currently waiting to O.

How long have you been TTC? We started NTNP in February and then actively trying end of April so about 6 cycles?
How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? We have our son who will be one in two weeks and we want atleast two but possibly three. It really depends on how long it takes us to have baby #2. If it takes 3yrs again or if we have to go the IVF route again we will be done after two.
What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? My body! When I O seems to be all over the place and isnt consistent at all. AF was 4 days late last month and it really messed with my emotions! I cried when she showed up.
GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. Glee! :0)

Ladiebug710 · August 2013

Sorry I'm late to the party.

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? Waiting to O, CD 22 with a near pos OPK today so hopefully O this weekend

How long have you been TTC? 8 months, but only 5 cycles in that time because of BF

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? 1 and I would like 2

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? I don't know, TTC in general is just stressful and with long cycles I just feel like it will take forever, if it happens at all.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. Is American Horror Story coming back? Season one was better than last season but I still really looked forward to it every week.

cmumama · August 2013

Waaaaayyyy late to the party. Haven't been on TB in quite some time, but with DS1 heading back to school next week, I'm hoping to peek in more often.

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? AF - CD4

How long have you been TTC? Not actively TTC right now. Just finished my last pack of BCP's. I'm anxious to see how my cycles go without the help of BCP. We have a trip planned in Nov. We will start TTC during or after that trip. I do not want to be pg for the trip.

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? Currently have 2. Want to have 3.

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? My house! It's costing us an unexpected fortune this summer.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. Walking Dead. Hands down.

salsa_wifey · August 2013

What part of your cycle are you in (waiting to O, O'ing, 2WW, AF)? CD 8, Waiting to O

How many LOs do you have now, and how many are you hoping to end up with? We have 2 and I think we'll stop at 3.

What is the thing that is making you nuts right now (doesn't have to be TTC related)? Finding a baby sitter for my firm event next month.

GTKY: Television show you are most looking forward to returning in the fall. The Walking Dead.
