**November Angels Check-In (July 12 2014)**

This is a weekly check-in for those who have lost an angel with a November EDD. If you would like to be added to our group, please reply to this message with your EDD and date and stage of loss. Please also tell us a little bit about yourself and your TTCAL journey so far. Those with loss dates in November are also welcome. As time goes on, it is only to be expected that there will be graduates, which means that there will at times be BFPs listed here. On weeks when we do have a BFP to celebrate, you’ll see a warning at the top of the page, which is provided so you’ll have the option of scrolling past the announcement if you need to. If you do get your BFP, please PM me so that we can congratulate you appropriately in the next check-in.

General Updates: How are you doing? Any appointments or other updates you’d like to share?

Shout outs: If you aren't listed, we haven’t heard from you for a week or two. Please jump in!

QOTW: do you and your DH have a tradition that you started/look forward to?

We had a check-up yesterday with our RE to make sure that the clomid was doing it's magic! It absolutely was, we were thrilled to learn we were ovulating! Of course the nervous/anxious me was frustrated with DH that he had to go directly to a meeting and had meetings all throughout the day as I would have loved to have bedded directly following the appointment

. Instead we had to wait until last evening; and I'll include Wednesday for good measure! Leave it to me to ovulate the day following our trip. We did get in good bedding while away so I guess it all works out. Vegas was a blast! We had absolutely no luck with gambling, but enjoyed a few shows and got in some nice exploring. Now I am back into the swing of things with a busy week at work and planning our cruise over DH's birthday in December!!

QOTW: DH and I are college basketball fans and plan our entire year around going to the mountain west men's college basketball tournament in Vegas! With DH's rewards program we have to go to Vegas a minimum of twice a year to keep the points going and the week in March that the tournament happens is a Definite!!

DenaMaree · August 2014

@sarcaztic10 WooHoo! Always exciting to get settled and feel totally at home! Time with your Mom sounds wonderful ! I hope you continue to feel well on the clomid (I never had any side affects) and your appointment next weeks shows it was a success so you can get on with your TTC journey!

tlc35 · August 2014

Thanks for the Check-in @DenaMaree, that is exciting to hear that the clomid is working.

@sarcaztic10 good to hear you are getting settled and I hope the clomid is working for you without any side effects.

AFM: My brother's graduation was really nice and I had a good time with family. I wish I could have spent more time with H though. Based on CM and CP I should ovulate soon. I'm really hoping I will O today since that will mean we hit o-2 before I left town. I didn't bring any OPKs since I figured that it would just be frustrating to see a +OPK and not be able to have sex.

QOTW: The only thing I can think of is going to our favorite brunch spot where we got engaged for special occasions/anniversaries.

DenaMaree · August 2014

@tlc35 COME ON ovulation, make your appearance! Also remember sperm can swim and "hang around" for as long as seven days so getting in the bedding before leaving for your trip can always do the trick

! When we conceived in February my DH had been gone for forty-eight hours when I ovulated so I thought for sure we were out. We were shocked fifteen days later when I didn't get my cycle and welcomed a bfp. Hope this is your month!! Have safe travels!!

Feegan · August 2014

Thanks for the check-in and for adding the note about my name change @DenaMaree, much appreciated. Very exciting that things are progressing well and you are in GO-time! Woot! FX!

Glad you are avoiding side effects @sarcaztic10, FX you get some good follies. Have a wonderful long weekend with your momma.

@tlc35 FX for you that timing works out in your favor

AFM: On the home stretch of the 2ww and not sure which way it will go, but planning to test Friday. As for life outside of the 2ww, it's been busy and a little stressful with our roommate situation. (We let a friend move in a few months ago and I'm just over it but feel bad kicking her out because she's not a bad roommate, I just want our house to ourselves.)

QOTW: Hubs and I have many traditions that are yearly, monthly, weekly, special event-ly, etc... We are all about little traditions.

ETA: Well, looks like my name change reverted back. Ugh. Bump gods why do you hate me so?!?!?

mara005 · August 2014

Thanks for the check in!

Mara005- did AF make it's unwelcomed appearance? Were you able to get in some of the necessary tests in preparation for your next step in TTC? How are you??

I'm on CD 7, AF came and ended a couple days ago. I had my CD 3 blood work/ultrasound, which was fine. Thursday I have my HSG, a little nervous about that. DH's semen analysis (attempt #2) on Sunday and then I have more blood work on Monday.

Life in general is good, just plugging away.

QOTW: We usually go in to the city for our anniversary, we were married in Central Park so we usually go to the spot we had the ceremony.

DenaMaree · August 2014

@Feegan Silly Bump has it's own personality and can be stubborn. Hope you can get things worked out with the name change! DH and I had a roommate when we lived in VA for a year and I completely know what you mean!! I can't imagine being on a TTC journey with having a roommate around. Everything is crossed that I get a PM from you end of the week or this weekend with great news!!

@mara005 I hope all goes well for you with your HSG, for DH with completing his semen analysis, and with the all additional bloodowrk! Its great that your getting all of it out of the way this cycle! HUGS!

LittleMrsW · August 2014

@mara005 Good luck with your HSG, I've heard taking a painkiller beforehand has helped some women.

@Feegan I'll be testing Friday too

I feel ya on the roommate situation, we've had one for a few months now, and he's great, but there are some times that I just want the house to myself.

@TLC35 I'm glad you got some good family time in, FX for good timing.

@sarcaztic10 Good luck at your appointment next week!

@denamaree Thanks for the check in and YAY for ovulating!! I'm so glad you had such a good time in Vegas, that's one me and DH's favorite places to go!

AFM I'm getting towards the end of the 2WW (thank goodness!!) I'm going to test Friday before our trip to Tahoe because I really plan on letting loose! We are going with a couple of friends, as well as an older couple, and we're going to see Sammy Hagar play on Saturday night. I can't wait to have my first Waborita!

QOTW: I'm sure there's something, but I can't think of anything at the moment.

littlecookie · August 2014

@Denamaree @Feegan @littlemrsw Fingers crossed for you ladies!!

@mara005 Hope Thursday is as easy as it can be!

@tlc35 Hope your timing ends up good!

@sarcaztic10 Have fun with your mom!

My chromosome testing came back normal as did my ptt-la, still waiting on the thyroid, but I'm expecting no answers. So we will plan to start back up next cycle. I'm pretty sure I'm about to O, so we could have probably tried this cycle, but I wanted to observe one more cycle. I think I'm going to do the prayer flag thing that was posted earlier today, so that will take up some weekend time, but I'm looking forward to it. We've been busy the last few weekends, so plan to just relax.

QOTW-I can't really think of anything specific. We're big into sports too and usually go to games for a couple key teams, but I'm not sure I'd call them traditions. We went on vacation once the week before Christmas and loved that, so maybe we will pick a holiday and plan a big trip around it.

DenaMaree · August 2014

@LittleMrsW As much as I hope you get to have a great time in Tahoe, my fingers are crossed that it will be a celebration of exciting news! Hope the results of Friday's testing works in your favor!! Regardless Sammy Hager will be a blast! Will look forward to hearing all about the concert!

@littlecookie It's great that everything came back normal, but I am sorry you don't have answers. Hugs!! Enjoy your R&R!!

scrang74 · August 2014

Hello everyone! @DenaMaree‌ Thanks for the checkin and great to hear you ovulated and had some good nookie time! I'm typing this in St Lucia as we await our taxi to the airport for our journey home. Our wedding and honeymoon have been the best time of my life! I'm sad to go home and leave this paradise, but glad to get back to our fur children.

My husband (yikes!!) and I also had some good nookie time, so FX we have a little stowaway brewing. I'll be back to OPK and charting next month and feeling excited about getting back on the TTC horse. Also, I'll try to figure out once and for all how to upload a photo to the bump!!
