QOTW:

I'm hosting and doing the majority of cooking, so I prolly won't enjoy it as much as if I got to just show up at someone elses house. The nice think is I can decide on the menu and have what I want. I'm doing pumkin cheesecake instead of pumpkin pie, I hope everyone loves it and they all don't revolt on me

Happy T-Day everyone!!!

Was not surprised to see AF today since we only had sex twice this month and was no where near my FW. X( Sucks having a husband with NO sex drive.
QOTW:
What family tradition ( or food item) are you looking forward to on Thanksgiving?

I love Thanksgiving. I do all the cooking and baking. I think we are having 14 this year yay!!! The funny thing is I'm a vegetarian so I don't really eat much but I look foreword to making mashed turnips. My grandmother always made them and they remind me of having thanksgiving at her house when I was little.

Just want to wish all the wonderful people on this board a happy thanksgiving. I am truly thankful for you all.

CheezeFace · November 2013

1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from

Cheezeface, Alaska

2. How long have you been TTC?

TTC #2 for a few months…I guess around a year w/o preventing.

3. Where are you in your cycle? If in the 2ww when will you test? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc)

9 dpIUI. I could possibly test on Thanksgiving (although that's a bit early) but I think I will wait. I don't want to be Debbie Downer if - and I don't the temptation of blabbing it out of excitement if +. Also, I'm a "Drink 'til it's Pink" girl and I will need a glass of wine to get through this one as we are hosting

4. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

I honestly don't know! In some ways the timing has been a very big blessing. With all the stuff that comes with this time of year, I've been too busy to think about it. In that regard it's been the easiest 2ww I've ever had. However, DS is super, scary sick (all we know for sure is that it isn't strep) and I've been a bit under the weather with a mild fever myself It's made me worry about the health of any potential pregnancy. But then the phone will ring about Thanksgiving and I can put it out of my mind…

QOTW:
What family tradition ( or food item) are you looking forward to on Thanksgiving?

OMGOMGOMGOMG. MY MIL won't be here so I can eat stuffing!! She always makes the stuffing but she adds the neck and the giblets and I just can't handle it. I'm sure it tastes fine but I can't go there…. DH's cousin is excited as well (we Holiday together for everything) and is making some as am I. MMMMMMMmmmmmmmStuffing!!!

Also, I'm running in the Turkey Trot 5K. The only one I've ever missed was the year DS was born so I think it's a tradition now

kindershlitz · November 2013

Kindershlitz- Michigan TTC- 4 months I think I'm 5 dpo based on opk, Pink Pad, but I just for Fertility Friend. I hope to test in a week and I feel like we have a good chance based on our timing. Feeling super anxious and hopeful Stuffing! Happy Thanksgiving

Nootbar · November 2013

1. Nootbar, CA 2. TTC for about 3 years 3. 2WW after IUI - beta this Tuesday 4. I'm pessimistic, to be honest. We converted our IVF to IUI due to poor response. I have diminished ovarian reserve and am just so sick of bad news. I wish we had a sperm problem that could be treated with ICSI etc. rather than a condition for which there is no definitive treatment or agreed upon standard of care.

archi35 · November 2013

Archi, NYC, 5 since bcp with 2 actual possible months (we think based on hormone tests)

2ww with dull constant deep cramping on and off for two days. Trying not to wish its something!

I'm a hopeful almost 36 who is starting to get worried about time....

archi35 · November 2013

^^ I'm roughly 5 dpo - hard to count without more months to compare against.

4. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)

Trying not to think about it too much. I've been feeling a little nauseous and tired the last few days, but my mind plays tricks on me at this time of the month.
