Ok, here goes. Let's see if I do this right -
1) Anybody here WTO?
2) If you are in a medicated cycle, any symptoms that are driving you crazy?
3) During your cycle, is there anything that you do obsessively or superstitously to help get that elusive BFP (the crazier, the better!)?
4) Any fun weekend plans to take your mind off of this roller coaster?
TTC #2 since 1/2012

Re: ----Trippin' Thursdays----
I don't know why it formatted like that, but here are my answers:
1) Nope, in the 2WW
2) Mood swings and body tiredness (not sleepiness, just a sluggish body feeling)
3) I go back and count re-count the days of my cycle in my datebook (I don't have a smart phone) as if that will make the time pass any quicker. Like, I re-count a lot.
4) Hoping to go out on my brother's boat and to enjoy one of the last warm, sunny days of the year. And maybe have a cocktail or two as well!

2) If you are in a medicated cycle, any symptoms that are driving you crazy? The dizziness is getting crazy. Every time I stand up I get dizzy to the point I have to stop and hold onto something so I don't pass out. It even happened when I was getting out of the van today. I've also been sleeping a lot.
3) During your cycle, is there anything that you do obsessively or superstitously to help get that elusive BFP (the crazier, the better!)? I check my days a lot also. I did have a superstitious thought when writing out my cycle day numbers for this cycle. CD 26 is usually when I test, and it happens to be my mom's birthday. That made me feel like it was jinxed bc how great would it be to get a positive on her birthday? But that shit never works out. Not for me anyways. Ugh.
4) Any fun weekend plans to take your mind off of this roller coaster? No plans yet. Just to relax and watch college football.
2.) I obsess over my chart, I google symptoms, I google my "due date" I read up on pee stick sensitivities, I pee on the sticks, google more symptoms, I too, count the days over and over, I look at past cycles...on and on. I plan next month. What I'm going to do, eat, try, etc.
3.) reading, reading, reading. And just hanging with H and DS. We're boring!
Me: 27 DH: 33

1) Nope, I'm in the 2ww.
2) Not medicated this cycle.
3) I guess I seem to think that obsessively monitoring my chart is going to do some good. I like to compare to past cycle and look at how temps, symptoms, CM, etc line up across charts and try to convince myself why that means good things for my current chart. And I look at things like when my due date would be, what the date would be for announcing my pregnancy, when I would get the anatomy scan, etc. None of that makes the time pass any faster but it does still somehow take up a good chunk of work day some days.
Oh, I also like to suck in my belly to see if that causes any weird sensations. When I was pregnant with my angel baby, I noticed that when I sucked in my belly very suddenly to adjust the waist band of my pants, I always got a sharp pain.
4) Not fun but we're traveling back to my hometown to see some family from out of town. We've been averaging two trips a month to my hometown for the past couple of months and it's getting really old because it's a 2.5 hour trip, and we always make it a full weekend thing. Oh, and DS has an intestinal bug that we're dealing with at the moment.
October 2011 - DS (7)
July 2014 - Stillborn DD (24 weeks)
August 2015 - DD (3)
April 2018 - 5 week loss
Oh, the estimating of due dates, the dpo sensitivities of HPTs, the announcements, the age DS will be if I'm pregnant this cycle - I do all of that too! It's nice to not feel so alone and crazy (well, maybe still crazy, but at least not alone!).

Umm, because of you, Mrs Castillo, I bought pineapple and macadamia nuts also. So I'm obsessive right there with you.

1) Anybody here WTO? Yes, CD9 now.
2) If you are in a medicated cycle, any symptoms that are driving you crazy? I have been pretty lucky on clomid. Last time I had horrible headaches but not too bad with this lower dose.
3) During your cycle, is there anything that you do obsessively or superstitously to help get that elusive BFP (the crazier, the better!)? I also check what CD it is, how long until I can maybe test, the odds if I do test that day, how old DS will be if it works, what the possible due date would mean for our yearly vacation and plan of going to Disney...basically I think I try to plan things that can't be planned!
4) Any fun weekend plans to take your mind off of this roller coaster? My parents are visiting this weekend. My dad and DH are building a new fence and my mom and I will do fun things with DS.
