Congrats @smmatt08 happy and healthy 9 months to you!!!!
@PennStateCait thanks for answering! Good to know they're in prenatals! I do just a standard one a day women's vitamin with a fish oil on the side. Just wanted others opinions on it.

@iceandsnowflakes29 Thank you for that! I think I was spinning myself out. I was reasoning in my head that if I had -1,O timing so many times in the past with no results that surely would mean that -2, +1 was a for sure no way. I guess I should put some hope out there after all :-)

@shaami1986 I wasn't too excited about our -2 timing either, I O'd a day later than I expected to (according to FF at least) so I was upset we didn't hit -1. But I read something somewhere that said that -2 was just as good as -1. I don't know if I believe that, but there are plenty of pregnancy charts on FF that show only -2. Trust me, I've probably looked at them all, haha.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Testing: Obnoxiously early due to my theme park vacation.
R/R/CS: Rant: I've already started symtom spotting; this does not bode well for my peace of mind.this cycle. Rave: So glad to be headed to Disney, my mom, dad, sister, and we are all going, so it should be fun.
GTKY: I'm doing better at some things (spending more time with my dogs) than others (making an effort to be more social).
@PennStateCait Thanks for responding! Yeah I've played around with FF a bit, I'm sticking with CD14 as O day. I think I will be taking the extra blanket off our bed anyway, I just get way too hot! I've seen mixed results when searching whether that can impact temps or not, so I was curious if anyone else experienced that. Hopefully my temp just stays up regardless, time will tell!

I don't even bother with sex on ovulation day. I've had better results (losses) with BEFORE O. IMO / IME you kinda want those suckers there and waiting.
If someone has some science that contradicts that - by all means correct me.
R/R/C: still feeling really crumby today. My nausea has been crazy and I've been extremely tired. I'm not thinking too much of it since our timing wasn't very good but still annoying.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I didn't really make a NY resolution but I've been trying to cut out processed sugar including the ginormous amounts of chocolate I usually consume out if my diet. I also have stopped drinking coffee and wine during the week. I'm on day three and all I can think about is a large macchiato and a twix
Testing: I wasn't planning to test until tomorrow, but an Amazon delivery of wondfo's arrived this afternoon. They were staring me in the face so I tested at 4pm and got a faint line. I'm in total shock. I'll test again tomorrow with FMU for sure. Also, to be a total AW: today is my birthday as well. Happy birthday to me, I guess!
R/R/C: We've wanted this pregnancy for so long (10 months total TTC including prior to a m/c) but now that I'm faced with a BFP, the real mindfuck begins. Cautiously optimistic for sure!
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
My resolution was to read more. I used to be an avid reader but after DS arrived I've barely cracked a book. Since Jan 1 I've read approximately 2 pages of a new novel. Soooo maybe not quite a success yet
Timing: I havent figured out what timing means yet, but ill catch on.
Testing: Since it is my first month trying to conceive I have been way to anxious so I have taken 2 tests. Both negative of course because I am testing way too early
R/R/C: Ive been tracking my BBT and using OVIA Fertility tracker. It seems to be my saving grace. The TWW is brutal and now I understand how everyone feels!
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I didnt take any new years resolutions. We are just starting out trying to conceive journey and it is terrifying, worrying, exciting and stressful all at the same time.
@sarah0985, at my appointment today, my obgyn asked what prenatals I was taking (it was my first appointment with him). He mentioned as long as it had DHA or fish oil that was good. I guess some women have gross fish oily aftertaste from some prenatals so that's why they opt for DHA (guessing). But I think they offer the same type of thing. I think he mentioned it aided in neurological development.
Edited for clarity. I'm sleepy.
TTGP February Siggy Challenge
creepy Easter bunny coming as soon as I can look at the screen more than 30 min at a time.
Me: 28
DH: 29
Married: October 2012
TTC #1 since September 2015
Clomid round 1 starting: 4FEB2016 = No ovulation Clomid round 2 starting: TBD... whenever AF decides to show up, or I have to take Provera again
R/R/C: ...and it was a BFP! I thought I saw a squinter yesterday and then this morning some more squinty stuff, and then tested again late this evening (with a wondfo, so at least it was cheap) and definitely got a second line. Can't believe it, hasn't sunk in Thanks to everyone's help on the boards.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! Not a big NYR fan, TBH.
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.
R/R/C: I got a weird pitch/cramp below my belly button Saturday evening and got super excited. Held off until today to test. Bfn. Disappointed all day. But now I've been laying in bed for about an hour because I keep getting random waves of nausea. I really would love to get a bfp tomorrow morning as my husband and I are talking a road to visit my family and I would love that news for my mom and sister. But AF isn't due till Sunday...
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! My husband and I resolved to start trying to conceive... Started trying, so I'd say it's going pretty well! Lol
Thank you ladies! Whats everyone's intake on drinking a glass of wine while waiting? I mean Bachelor Monday's just screams red wine and a lazy couch night but i've felt a bit guilty. That's why ive tested twice because of nerves.

A lot of us are "drink til it's pink." Enjoy! *sips wine*
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
Congratulations to you both, @waitingforbabies and @kmalls. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
@simplysmith09, I'm also in the drink til it's pink camp. I typically test beforehand though with a Wal-Mart cheapie for my own peace of mind ($0.88 isn't much to fork out for that).
