TTC#2 April 20193. We bought a new tree yesterday! Started decorating the apt right after Thanksgiving. We are still not done. Usually after thanksgiving is my green light to start my Christmas mode. DH knows how much I love Christmas and that I would start after Halloween if I could!

2. WTO. Hopefully in the next few days.
3. We are decorating for christmas tonight!
I decorated on Friday while DH was working and then he put the tree up yesterday...I am putting the ornaments on the tree now!
I did most of my decorating this past weekend. We finished our basement last year so have twice as much living space to decorate this year. Bought a fake tree for our basement but will get a real tree this coming weekend for upstairs!
3. We started the day after Thanksgiving and have been working on it since!
2. Wto my period showed up thanksgiving night at work naturally.
3 I started decorating the weekend before Thanksgiving still have a little more to do.
@fairygirl86 my periods after birth control were only 2 days of light bleeding with a day of spotting before and after. It could be just fine. If your concerned talk to your doctor. I do recommend charting like PP said. If your temps are all over the place you could try temping vaginally. I hear that results with more consistent temps.

TTC#2 April 2019GTKY: I haven't put out my Christmas decorations in 2 years. Only a small tree last year. I will probably decorate this weekend. It is also our 1st anniversary on Sunday so doing something festive will be fun.

Question
I am waiting for my first AF post MC. My chart (in siggy) is all over the place because I was sick/fever and then a week sleeping somewhere different. FF says I'm 8 DPO (I think I'm a little more). My question is can MC change your usual LP length? Mine was 14 but I started spotting today so it looks like it's going to be 8-12 depending on when I truly ovulated.

TTC#2 April 2019Status: Wondering if the incredibly light amounts of bright red blood I'm getting that barely fill my liner the past 2 days are my new, incredibly light AF? Benched until I figure it out / get my doc to call me back and talk to me about AF.
GTKY: I started decorating on Black Friday and listening to Yuletide music on Thanksgiving. I don't celebrate Christmas, but we do have a Yule tree and a Yule log at my house. There are stockings and garlands and ribbon as well - but those are more for my husband's parents when they visit because they hate that I'm not Christian.
3. I'm finishing up with my classes for the semester, so Hubs and I aren't quite decorated for Christmas yet. Hopefully I will be able to carve out some time this weekend to get our tree (and other knick-knacks) up!
I'm guessing the doctor will tell me to wait at least two cycles, anyway. Ugh.
3.) We are pretty much all done. Started thanksgiving weekend. I love having the tree up as long as possible without venturing into weirdo crazy lady territory.
My status is currently WTO now, doc and temping confirmed AF did come. still have HCG in my system but the levels have dropped to 19, and getting lower!
