TTC( what are you doing to "try") or TTA(when are you trying):TTA, cm, opks and charting. Nov 15th we try... I'll probably be in my TWW then though.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I have started to chill on baby fever which is nice. I still want it and crave it, but because it is becoming so close I am started to get scared. I keep telling DH maybe we should wait and he laughs at me and says don't worry. Truth is he knows me and knows when November 15th comes I won't want to wait. I had a nightmare last night about being pregnant. I used to fear pregnancy as a parasite feeding off of you, until I wanted my own baby. Sometimes I get scared that I'll see pregnancy the way I did when I was younger when its already too late and I have my BFP. DH has been great to reassure me.
GTKY: Any furbabies? 2 cats and 1 dog. Seamus & Asia are the cats and Roscoe is the dog. I love them to bits. They are my world.
TTC( what are you doing to "try") or TTA(when are you trying): TTC. Opk, charting, CM
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I started temping two weeks ago, and traveled through 6 time zones on Thursday. My temps are way higher after my travel, but I know I haven't ovulated yet. Not sure if it is because my body is confused over of the time zones, or if it is just because DH is clingy in the morning and warms me up. ) I guess I will find out as I continue temping.
GTKY: Any furbabies?Nope. But I really want a dog one day! The plan is to have a baby first, and then a dog later on. But if the baby train is moving too slow, we might get a dog first.
@als1982 My DH and I were looking at getting a roomba, but I was nervous about it running over the cats tail or something. But I may still get one, they are always on sale on craigslist.
@Hulabalu traveling can do a number on your O day, plus cd 12 is still early( it is for me anyways).
@MrsRo731 Sorry to hear that you're just waiting for AF, next month will be better I'm sure. You're rescue pup sounds cute
Katm89 Based on my normal cycle I'm expecting to O between day 18 and 23, and that's why I'm so sure that it hasn't happened yet despite the apparent temperature shift (also, no CM yet). I'm just hoping that I'm not one of those people who don't O at all when the body is stressed...
MrsRo731How great of you to adopt a rescue pup! I think that sounds amazing, but i guess a lot of those dogs have issues from being mistreated?
@Hulabalu - Thanks! I think it depends on the dog, for sure. Dexter was in the shelter because his family was moving and couldn't bring him along (not sure why). Luckily he hasn't shown any signs in the past 4 years of abuse. He was only in the shelter for 2 weeks before we adopted him, and he was so happy to come home with us!
TTA until January for work reasons, although we DTD at O-3 this cycle. TMI: no pulling out or any barrier because I thought I'd Oed already.
R/R/CS: annoyed to be TTA and annoyed that my late 0 resulted in DTD during FW. Annoyed because I have mixed feelings. ...on the one hand, would be so happy to be KU. On the other hand would be so stressed because I have a brand new job. No leave, no FMLA, nada.
GTKY : We have two dogs, a cat, and some fish. Pretty much a zoo when you add in DS.
R/R/CS: AF visited over the weekend, and after 15 years with only fake, light BCP periods, I suck at dealing with a normal one. I feel like I'm in middle school all over again!
GTKY: Here's another pic of my baby Baxter. He's a rescue too-believe it or not he was abandoned, heartworm positive, on the streets of Little Rock and has a beebee pellet lodged in his stomach :-( I love him to pieces and despite his past he's a totally normal dog. Many, many rescue dogs have little to no issues, and I would encourage anyone to take this path to finding a pet! No judgement for reputable breeders though, that's another great way to go.
TTC( what are you doing to "try") or TTA(when are you trying): Currently I would consider us NTNP with plans to fully TTC in Dec/Jan
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I stopped my BCPs 20 days ago and haven't had any withdrawal bleed or anything. I was on the minipill due to migraines and I haven't had a period in about 16 months. I didn't think that I would ever hope for a period in my life! My temps are very consistent (other then when I had too much fun last weekend and they spiked) so I'm just waiting for anything to happen!
GTKY: Any furbabies? 1 boxer/lab named Jasmine. I actually got her off Craigslist from a family that just couldn't care for her anymore and she is the most loving and cuddly dog that I know. She's a 60lb lap dog.
TTC( what are you doing to "try"): Monitoring CM, Temps, BD EOD during FW
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: unrelated to TTC, but I started couch to 5K today and dang am I out of shape! I've never been a runner, ever! Decided to start because the weather is just too nice outside and it burns more calories than walking.
GTKY: Any furbabies? yep. I have a dachshund that is one year old. She has separation anxiety and we decided to start giving her free reign of the house because she drools and tears up anything in the crate. We tried this about six months and she didn't chew anything, but relieved herself in the house, so we went back to the crate. Today she did just fine, no mess and no drool! Proud pet parent over here
TTC( what are you doing to "try") or TTA(when are you trying): TTC, charting
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My migraines and acne have returned with a vengeance being off BC /: I felt like I was going to start my period last week but still waiting….I just want to start a new cycle already. Hoping these migraines taper off as my body adjusts...
GTKY: Any furbabies?
Here's our cute little rescue kitty. 3 years old and have had her about a year. We love her so much!
CD/DPO: 19 - not sure if I've ovulated yet, my chart is a hot mess
TTC( what are you doing to "try") or TTA(when are you trying): Temping, opks, charting, prenatals, tracking cm
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My chart this month is ridiculous. Temping is way harder than I thought, especially since I rarely get 3 hours sleep at a time, the same time every night.
