GTKY: Where do you plan to go on for a Baby moon when you the time comes? We've been looking into Hawaii, but also researching to see the islands that are now Zika free. Nothing else....these ideas keep my mind occupied

As to baby moon, we currently have a family vaca planned for Feb to Aruba, so I suppose if I'm ku, but not from this cycle, and zika is under control, we'll probably just count that. If I do manage to get ku this cycle, then I would have to cancel the second family vaca in a row, as last time we tried to go to fl, but it ended up being the week before my due date.

Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): TWW—we’ve just embarked on this very purposeful mission of TTC.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): Not sure, just learning and beginning to chart.
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): I thought I wasn’t doing much but actually I’ve always been on Rainbow Light prenatal & other iron & adrenal support vitamins. Just stocked up on OPKs, ordered the cheapie pregnancy test strips on amazon yesterday, bought a basal thermometer today—truly just starting on the journey.
Rants/Raves: My husband is the worst when we grocery shop! This morning he didn’t help with food or with watching the toddler run rampant through the store. But my rave is that I finally have a husband after being single until 38 years old. So, I’m grateful, even if annoyed, lol.
GTKY: Where do you plan to go on for a Baby moon when you the time comes? We just got married last year. Hoping the delayed honeymoon will also be a baby moon to Italy in September.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD 26
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): PNV; I'd sorta/kinda tried OPKs but got negatives that didn't match up with my EWCM (next time I'll test 2x/day), so then (belatedly) began temp tracking, but not soon enough to confirm if I did/did not actually ovulate.
Rants/Raves: Preparing for a two-week writing workshop that I'll leave for on June 17. Means I'll likely miss a cycle for TTC, though there's a chance hubby might be able to drive up over the weekend of 23-24 which *might* be part of my fertile period, but I dunno.
GTKY: Where do you plan to go on for a Baby moon when you the time comes? If we have one, it'll likely be a short weekend thing--maybe in the mountains if the weather's good--as we're buying a new house and money needs to go toward the down payment.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD 25
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Temping and taking SmartyPants prenatal plus some extra vitamin D and occasional baby aspirin (when I remember)
Rants/Raves: Work is busy right now, but I have this Friday off. I've also booked a week off in July and can't wait...
GTKY: Where do you plan to go on for a Baby moon when you the time comes? A weekend on a lake would be nice, but I'm a bit superstitious about even thinking about this before getting pregnant / making it to 20ish weeks! Nice to read everyone's ideas, though!
@Mack2342 Sorry.
I had a temp drop this morning, plus some super light spotting yesterday afternoon and again this a.m., so I'm likely out. Oh well. I guess this means my husband and I can use the wine tasting Groupon I bought a while back.
@Mack2342 @amandahwrites Sorry about your temp drops this week! Wine tasting sounds like fun!!

@marijaa333 I’m sorry for your BFN, it’s never easy. I know sometimes people get later positives though, so you never know quite yet. This IF is a roller coaster.
Ok you’re cracking me up with your “fancy” Japanese OPKs! With a backlight? You all or just too cool for school!
@PoeMasque @keikilove just saying hi and how’s it going getting more into (or @PoeMasque, back into) this?

I've been doing a lot better. I've had a slight increase on my zoloft and started to slowly cut out the ativan. Feeling more myself lately and therapy has been great. I've talked to my therapist that i just really want to enjoy my life right now. DH and I have talked and while we are preventing right now at some point I see us just having sex and not preventing. I'm about to start AF in the next day or 2 and last night I told DH he could leave it in cause I know there's not an egg in there so we are only doing pull out when I'm unsure and not pull out at the very beginning and very ending of a cycle.
But it can also keep up to 100 measurements in its memory, plus time taken and all that, which I like because I don't feel obligated to log everything before I forget. Next best would be one of those super expensive ones that logs directly to its associated app, but, expensive, and I like the app I'm already using.
AF arrived yesterday, so I'm definitely out. It's weird because I temp tracked prior to going on BC (due to some period weirdness where I didn't get one for several months when I knew I couldn't be PG, which sent me on a Learn WTF Goes On With My Body journey) and my period always started day of the temp drop, not day after. Maybe I'm not wholly back to my normal after BC. *shrug*
GL to all going through treatments and who are still in the TWW!
We have a lot of hot springs in Oregon, I would love to do a babymoon at one of those. There are a few where you can rent a smal cabin with your own private “hot tub” of spring water. (Sorry, I should clarify that most of the hot springs here have cooler options, so it’s more of a really nice warm bath vs hot tub)

I was prepping myself for an IUI this month but we had to reschedule it as DH wasn’t ready. Nonetheless, we did our ultrasound on CD 9 and RE told us if IUI would have happened this cycle, he would have done it on CD 12.However, my OPK showed me ovulating on CD11. I am confused as, there seems a conflict bw prediction of ovulation day by OPK and doctors analysis.
I am wondering why is that and how can I avoid such a dilemma in my next cycle.
Any advice/insight will be appreciated!
