R/R/CS: I am so excited that my Christmas vacation starts today! I can't wait for some rest and great memories made with DH. A much needed getaway after our loss.
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you?
I would like to be a pastry chef at a fancy country club. I think I would love it. But my desire to work from home to raise my (future) children and see my DH as much as possible greatly out weighs my desire to have a job that will require a lot of my time.

R/R/CS: Not much to say today. Temp rose,which was expect. FF typical pinpoints this day as my O day, but I'm skeptical. We shall see! (Check out my chart if you'd like)

R/R/CS: I'm new to this so I'm having anxiety about posting. Plus I can't figure out how to copy this on my iPad.

CD: supposedly 12
WAYDTGKU: ya know.
R/R/CS: okay so everyone here is going to think I'm bsc. But I don't know where I belong currently and frankly I'm a bit freaked out. I had a m/c in early October, and two normal cycles since. I had bfns every day leading to af and she arrived right on time and appeared normal. Well last night I wasn't feeling well and my sister suggested I may be pregnant. I shrugged the thought saying it wasn't possible. Then I had soul-crippling heartburn like the first go-around with pregnancy. So with logic in the back of my mind telling me I'm an idiot, I poas and there creeps the faintest of undeniable second lines. I'm terrified to test again today. There's no way I could possibly be that special of a snowflake. I refuse to believe it.

I want to get my MA. I have a BA and went to get the MA after having a kid and although I held a 4.0 I quit. I had serious mom - guilt for being stuck with school work and not spending enough time with my son.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPKs, Trying to BD
R/R/CS: I so appreciate everyone's support yesterday! I feel terrible, DH is so worried about his performance anxiety. At this point it doesn't really have anything to with trying to do ED or even TTC related, it's more just anxiety that it happened once so it can happen again. I am trying to encourage him that after a break he'll be ready to go again, and reminding him that this is the only time that this has ever happened to him. I hope he doesn't get too stuck in his head! I have anxiety too, so in some ways I know what he's feeling. We just need it to go right once and I think he'll get over it.
I really don't know what my temp is doing... it's still steady overall today but there was a slight dip on CD 12 and slight upward trend the past two days. Really hoping it continues to go up on a slow rise, because that actually gives us ok timing. If I put in a high temp tomorrow FF gives me CH for CD12 so FX! I think I'm at a disadvantage because I didn't temp the beginning of the cycle (I had a fever). I can kind of use last months temps as a guide, but honestly I was pretty bad about temping at really different times or after moving around a bit.
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? Ummm be a stay at home mom? So I kind of need the kid first! Although I don't think that will end up happening due to finances and my career, but hoping I can go part-time at some point. Totally not related to TTC - I would love to be certified in EMDR (a type of therapy- I'm a therapist) some day, I think it's awesome! What's stopping me is that I just finished grad school in July so I'm not very motivated to do anything focused with my free time right now.
It's a boy!

GTKY:I wanted to do a few things but misc stuff keeps getting in the way mostly money and @XxWhit92xX i have a fear of driving as well because of lots of past accidents while i was a child and so yes i would love to get over that.
My Ovulation Chart
Well anyway. I WOULD take another test asap. I don't want to scare you BUT here's my story :
2 years ago I got pregnant in November. I went ALL of DECEMBER without ever knowing because I had what I thought was a normal period followed by some misc spotting. Fast Forward to JANUARY and one day the hunch hit me like a ton of bricks. I took a test and it was positive. Beta level of 3900 and the baby had a heartbeat
So PLEASE get it checked out. I truly hope you are a special snowflayke instead of what happened to me.

WAYDTGKU: NTNP this cycle
R/R/CS: Well the very little fertile CM I had the last couple of days pretty much dried up yesterday. I am worried that this will be an anovulatory cycle. It's irrational. I'm sure my body is still trying to get on track from my MC seeing as this is my first cycle since. In the past year most of my cycles have been 24-26 days with one cycle after BC that was 36. I will have to wait it out and see. I'm sort of glad we are taking it easy this cycle otherwise I would be going crazy. (chart in siggy if you want to look)
On another note I had my first session with a counselor yesterday and even though it was more information gathering and paperwork I feel like it helps to just tell her everything.
GTKY: Honestly I not much. I guess maybe get to my goal weight. I was doing really well and only about 10 lbs away (had lost 30 lbs), but then I got pregnant and MC so now I'm about 20 lbs away. I plan on starting back with it again in the new year.

TTC#2 April 2019Month/Cycle: 3 or 4/1 but starting over with a blank slate after AF happens. I just finished my last Provera pill yesterday! Now just waiting for AF and I'll be a real person contributing to these threads!
CD: starting over...
WAYDTGKU: Just finished Provera, taking PNV, OPKs, might try temping, but that's been covered in a previous post with my insomnia and shift work.
R/R/CS: My mom (who is a crazy person), has been dropping hints for a while about us having kids. Little things like "well the dogs are good practice!" She's been at it a couple years and I'm tired of it. She already has other grandkids and honestly my deep fear is that we won't be able to have our own. I just want her to stop with the hinting. That's my only rant/rave now.
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? I want to go back to school for Zoology. I have to basically start over, but I'm okay with it. I'm stuck where I am because the money is good and I'm supporting my husband and myself on my salary. But once he graduates with his degree it's my turn for school!

R/R/CS: So I wasn't able to get a new thermometer yesterday. Went to the store, read about 15 packages and just couldn't decide on the best one. I can't find the Mabis one, looks like Walmart Canada doesn't carry it. I'm going to another store today. As I expected with my shitty thermometer, my temp was weird again this morning. The highest that it's ever been and last night is the only night in the last two weeks where I've actually slept through the entire night. My chart looks crazy! BUT on the plus side, I did finally get to spend some quality time with the DH so I'll just look on the bright side of things! I also did an OPK yesterday for the first time just cause I got excited and I could see the lightest lightest lightest little line so hopefully the big O in the next couple of days!
Growing up I always wanted to be a police officer. Took Criminal Justice in College but then when it came down to it, I didn't want to risk any long term impact that policing could potentially have on myself or my future family down the road. I have so so so much respect for Police Officers and the fact that they have the balls and heart to deal with all of the things that we as "normal" people try to avoid. I didn't think I was mentally and emotionally strong enough to deal with certain bad situations on a daily basis. To have to look some of the worst human beings in the eye without wanted to just ..... Anyways!GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet?

R/R/CS: I am on my third cycle after stopping BC and I *think* my cycle is getting shorter or at least ovulation might be approaching sooner. My first cycle off BC I was not temping so I can't confirm, but based on CM, I am guessing I O'ed around CD 20 and my cycle was 33 days. My second cycle I O'ed on CD 20 and my cycle was 31 days. It seems like I am getting more fertile CM now on CD 14. I guess I will wait and see!!! I was on BC so long so it's hard to remember my cycles before BC, but I think I was probably around a 28 day cycle. Anywho--not really a rant--just thinking out loud
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? I would LOVE to learn photography. I am hoping to get a nice camera sometime soon and I would love to use it to capture all of the beauty in the world that I'm not currently capturing. I want me children to have actual pictures to look back on, and I am afraid with using an iPhone that those pictures won't make it to be passed down. Anyway, I would just love to take some time and learn how to use a nice camera and capture great pictures!

WAYDTGKU: In the midst of my FW, so BD every day, pre-seed, PNV, extra folic acid, limiting stress, exercising, and eating healthy.
R/R/CS: I had some steady, low temps this week, but a sudden spike this morning. No +OPKs, but I had a faint line this morning with fmu, so I think I just missed it. I've been drinking a ton of water, so I think I was just diluting too much. I'm hoping this is a good sign. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible. I think I will be switching over to the TWW thread after this weekend. I'm so glad I've had TB and our little book club to keep me preoccupied, my (literally) OCD brain would not be able to focus on anything else if it weren't for this group. Still keeping my FX and my chin up.

I really want to get a second masters degree. I've been talking to DH and I think the fall is going to be my green light, whether we have a LO or not. I found a few grants that I can apply for and a possible program through my district that could mean money for tuition. I've been considering moving out of the classroom and into the guidance office. I do a lot of that kind of stuff with my ESL (English as a Second Language) students anyway. They are non-traditional students, so they are always asking about their credits to graduate and how to get into a good college. I helped start an ESL College Club for kids who need help with college applications and scholarships, and discovered my passion. I'm becoming much more interested in life skills and career-readiness with my kids. I think they're going to be okay after graduation.

GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? Hmmm. I want to get another license for my line of work, but because the company is shutting down, and there have been layoffs, and people have been leaving, there hasn't been any time to study for the test - and I haven't felt like studying when I get home from work. I guess I should just do it, but TTC does take some time, and I also just want to spend time with DH when I get home. Maybe I'll do some studying this weekend!

I'm kind of feeling like I'm starting to get some ideas (*cough* four months later *cough*) and maybe I should have gone to grad school at some point, but there's still time in a few years and some things I can teach myself and try to stay sharp on in the meantime!

R/R/CS: Soooo, I am probably going to get flamed for this but does anyone else struggle with the question “is there a chance you could be pregnant?” when at a doctor’s appointment of some sort? I go through a whole spectrum of emotions: “TECHNICALLY yes because we’re not protecting. But NO because I can’t confirm O since I’m not temping. But MAYBE because if I did O than maybe we had good timing. But no. Definitely no. Nope.”
GTKY: I am a very good baker, I’ve been told my many people. I wish I had the balls to quit my corporate job and go to pastry school.
@XxWhit92xX Welcome! You're doing a great job with the posting.
@kjcalloway Whoa - did your HCG previously go back to 0? Have you had negative tests since? I don't have much experience with this, but is it possible you still have HCG from the MC? *hugs* Sorry this is confusing! I hope you get an answer soon! Maybe call your doctor?
@m6agua I'm glad your counseling appointment went well and that you feel like it's helping already!
@kfair001 Is Amazon shipping to Canada expensive? I had to buy Mabis on Amazon, but I'm in the US. Shipping was still something like $5 (almost as much as the BBT!)

I would love compete in hunter jumping, not at any super high level, just train and be good enough to jump a novice course. What's stoping me? $$$ we don't have a home where we can keep a horse. Jumping lessons in my area are $40 per lesson, so it gets really expensive very quickly... Owning a horse costs even more, especially because I would need a calm, well trained horse to jump with, so those guys start at several thousand dollars. So instead, I do agility classes with my dog (he jumps the courses, but I still have to be fairly coordinated) those cost half as much, and he LOVES it! He lives for it. We're almost to the point of being able to compete at novice level, so that would be a fun goal

@mali0902 - FX for O soon. And based on your chart, I think you’re definitely going to have to get a few more temps before you know.
@XxWhit92xX - Hi! Welcome! Copying on an iPad/iPhone = double tap or press and hold, I believe that works, to select a word, then you have to move the little blue dots above on the left and below on the right to select the entire passage you want to copy. once you let go, a little bubble will pop up asking you if you want to copy. Tap on “copy” and then go to where you want to paste it, tap at the cursor, and press “paste”. I’m not sure how clear that was, so here’s a YouTube video that I found. I didn’t listen to the audio, just watched the images, so hopefully it’s not too annoying!

@Kjcalloway - Well. *hugs* Unfortunately, I think you’re going to have to test again, and also call your doc. FX for you!
@sldp123 - *hugs* FX for good results from the SA.
@iceandsnowflakes29 - FX for O soon.
@blonde1817 - FX that your DH is feeling better about the situation and gets over it soon. And I’m worried that might sound harsh, which is totally not my intention!
@Crowqueen03 - sorry for CD 1. I hope your cycles get under control soon!
@sever milli12 - FX for continued high temps and O day!
@m6agua - *hugs* Sorry for your loss, and i hope your cycle figures itself out soon. I’m glad that you’re taking steps to see the counselor and that just telling her everything helped. I hope the healing continues quickly.
@NovaSaysNo - FX that AF gets here soon and then heads on her way quickly. That’s frustrating. My parents are pretty chill about it (and they already have grandparents), so I told them at Halloween that we’re trying, and they’ve remained good/helpful/respectful about it. But DH told the ILs and I’m terrified of having to see MIL starting on Wednesday because I think she’s going to be unbearable. Sounds harsh, but she was like you’re describing your mom since we got married about four and a half years ago. Dreading it. *hugs* to you.
@kfair001 - I’m sorry that you’re struggling to find a good thermometer. Does Walmart Canada have reviews of the temps that are in store online that you can try to use to choose?
@beary67 - FX that what you think about your cycle is true! And I love that GIF!
@BerkeBaby - FX that you O’ed and can head on over to the TWW. GL to you there!
@juliehollz13 - so sorry for CD1! *hugs*
@babymish - whew!
@ashbear720 - TX for continued high temps and confirmed O!
@DCHokiemom - ooooh, bad DH for whatever he did that made you mad. Being upset but still needing to BD is extra frustrating. FX that he makes it up to you soon!
@Ally989 - Ugh, *hugs*. I hope your body gets its act together soon!
@smmatt08 - Hopefully you won’t need to temp, but if you do, welcome. I for one find it LESS stressful. And yes! I so struggle with that question! With health professionals though, I usually just answer openly, “we’re trying to get pregnant, but I don’t think I am at this time.” They’ll generally know what to do with the situation. Funny story, when I was getting the lab work for life insurance done yesterday, the woman goes, “menstruating; yes or no?” and I’m like, “currently? Do you want my LMP? Or are you asking if I’m menopausal.” And she had no clue, she was like, “it just says, ‘menstruating: yes or no?’” Even though AF is OOT, I figured the best bet was just “yes,” but i don’t think I’ve ever answered a question like that with less conviction!
@laurenlalap - FX that everything goes well and you get to IUI next week!

Also, TB is being a huge bitch right now. At least 50% of the time, when I try to post, it gives me an error message. Is this happening to anyone else? Or is it free airport wireless that I should blame?

TTC #1 SINCE: OCT/NOV 2015
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: temp, ok, etc.
R/R/CS: My symptoms say that I am ovulating/about to ovulate, but my OPK is still negative. This is my first time using opks, is this right?
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? Not really?
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: All the things...
R/R/CS: Major temp drop this morning, lower than normal and I'm not too sure why but I'm just gonna go with it. Rave - I was able to get Adele tickets yesterday for me, my sister, and my mom!! I'm so excited for July and still cannot believe we were able to get tickets!! Cannot wait for our girls night out in Chicago
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you?
Travel and become one of those professional reviewers. I want to stay at those 4-5 star resorts/hotels and write reviews on my experiences and the different places I go. Currently budget... and I'm also not too sure how it would be possible for me and DH to actually make this work with where we are currently in our lives.
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 38
WAYDTGKU: sex, temping
R/R/CS: My temps have been consistently lower than usual, and paired with fertile CM I keep thinking I'm about to O. I'll take anything at this point. O, AF, whichever.
GTKY: Get back into running! My lofty slow goal is consistently running a sub-9min mile. I love running outside in the cold and we get that back next month. Farm country, water views, chilly air mmmm.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, BD
R/R/CS: I think I'm about to O! LH wondfo strip was just as dark as the test side, going to confirm later today with the clearblue monitor (yes I'm crazy and do both, but the wondfos were super cheap in a pack of 50). I'm so glad that I started temping this month so that I can actually confirm the ovulation. Also, I went ahead and didn't use any ibuprofen this month like I have for pretty much all my life since having a menstrual cycle. And I've been keeping track of my LH surge for quite a few months and I always got the surge a couple of days later than this. Of course it might just be a complete coincidence.
GTKY: TTC aside, is there something you have aspired to do, but haven't yet? If so, what is currently stopping you? Running a marathon (most I've done is a half). What stopped me earlier this year was losing weight (ironically, exercising a lot did not help me lose the weight that I gained over the past few years, just eating less and exercising just once or twice a week), what's stopping me now is that I don't want something like running a lot of miles to interfere with TTC. I know that for some women it doesn't, but I just don't want to take any chances. I figure there will be plenty of time for that later on. In the meantime, I run about 2-3 times a week for about 3 miles.
WORF: I did not come here to admire the scenery.
DAX: If you say so. I guess we should just go home.
WORF: Well maybe. I would not be so hasty.
DAX: I take it the scenery has improved?
WORF: A few months ago, when I was commanding the Defiant on a scouting mission in the Gamma Quadrant, we encountered a protostar cluster, a swirling mass of colour set against a background of glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, until now.
DAX: I've got to take you on vacation more often.
