Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals?

[librariangirl]

Age of LO(s): almost 4

Month/Cycle: 1st Cycle after HSG (previously tried for 10 cycles before taking a break)

CD/DPO: CD14 - just waiting to O (usually around CD17-19)

Timing: Great so far! Just have to keep it up.

RRCS: We’re doing TI this month after my HSG. OPKs still not dark enough. Will probably O on Tues or Wed I’m guessing.

My goals for 2018 are to get healthy, and get pregnant. I’m starting the keto diet on Tuesday, and am working towards losing 100lbs over the coming year (unless I get pregnant...). Going to the gym 3x per week to start too.
I’m also working on mental health, and start seeing a fertility therapist at the end of January.

Age of LO(s): 2.5


Month/Cycle: 3 AL


CD/DPO: CD3


Timing: not yet should start EOD this weekend


RRCS: my cycle has been super odd.... like this cycle I spotted for 4 days and only had af for like 1. I have no clue what is going on. But they are becoming more predictable every 26-28 days.


Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? I should make a goal to drink more water in the new year but that always gets lost because I go back to school and don’t have regular bathroom breaks.

Age of LO(s): 4.5 and almost 2 (😭)


Month/Cycle: 3


CD/DPO: 15


Timing: n/a


RRCS: I started with OPKs this cycle and had a positive CD13 and 14, today was negative so I’m assuming I’ll get a temp rise tomorrow or the day after. It’s been interesting to see exactly how my body works.

“Discipline”
I am determined to get into PA school this cycle and I am willing to do whatever it takes.

[sammysam]

Age of LO(s): 4 in less than a month

Month/Cycle:10--2AL

CD/DPO: 30/11

Timing: crap. My cycles are normally 23 to 25 days so we totally missed O. Didn't O until CD 19 ish...normally it's between CD 10 to 12.

RRCS: Just waiting on CD 1 and hopefully we can have better timing this cycle. This is the longest cycle I've had in over 20 years...

Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? Drink more water...and finish losing the weight I gained during our loss.

Hi. Newbie here. Glad this board exists!

Age of LO(s): 5.5yo DD


Month/Cycle: 12/12


CD/DPO: 28/15


Timing: we did an IUI on CD 11 this month. First time doing IUI. I just POS today and it’s a BFN. Sigh.


RRCS: not sure what this means!


Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? Continuing to work on being healthy - exercise, eat well. Supporting my H in getting him healthy too.

[shakinros]

Follow up q...

If you’re married (to a man), where does your H get support during this process? He’d sure love a message board where he could commiserate with other dudes, but it doesn’t seem like anything exists out there.

[sammysam]

shakinros Welcome and good luck! RRCS stands for Rants Raves Chart Stalks. I'm not sure of a board for guys specifically...ones I have seen in the past didn't have many posters. Sorry I can't be of more help. Maybe someone else will have better suggestions:)

Month/Cycle: 5


CD/DPO: 1 ☹️


Timing: n/a


RRCS: Our timing wasn't the best this last cycle but there was still a chance. I guess I'm just annoyed that it's taking longer this time around after gku in cycle one with DD.

I'm drinking my wine and eating chocolate chip cookies tonight.


Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? I haven't picked a word yet. I usually have one though for general life focus. Overall I need to focus on my health and minimize the stressors in my life.

Age of LO(s): 2 and change

Month/Cycle: 15 total/1AL

CD/DPO: who knows, FINALLY got a negative hpt a few days ago.

Timing: n/a

RRCS: Glad my HCG is back down, my temp is regular too. H and I have decided to go ahead with IUI asap which will probably mean next cycle since we have a bunch of travel in the next few weeks.

Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? I am so glad to see 2017 in the rearview, hoping 2018 holds better things. If I had to choose, my word for 2018 would be "start"; you can't accomplish anything if you never start.

Hello! I'm new to this board.


Age of LO(s): 2.5


Month/Cycle: 1/1


CD/DPO: CD 30, 13 DPO (approx.)


Timing: Uhhh bad I think.


RRCS: First month off the pill so no tracking or anything yet. Will start next month after AF starts (any day now....)


Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? Want to start taking care of myself a bit more, get back to exercising, watching what I eat, you know the usual.

[blurnette989]

Age of LO(s): 2 and 4


Month/Cycle: 3 or 4, not good at tracking.


CD/DPO: 25/estimated 10 DPO


Timing: if estimated O day is correct -3.


RRCS: So last month H was all Fung go on ttc, then we had a talk where he was wishy washy and said we should wait 6 months. I was really upset just because it was such a huge shift in what we had talked about. So I didn't temp this cycle. Then that ass didn't get a condom or pullout even when I knew I was in a generally fertile time based on ewcm. So I'm beyond annoyed by the emotional flux. I flat out said if I'm pregnant you know that was on you? I do not understand this manboy sometimes.

Do you have a focus word or resolution for 2018? Non ttc goals? My focus word is accomplish. We made our big move and my focus is on getting our family into routines in our new home that work for everyone and find a place for each thing. If it has no home, it doesn't belong in ours.

Also joined a stronger and I'm increasing how active I am daily. It's helped a bunch so far.

blurnette989, as you know from our bmb, my husband was very wishy washy on tfas and honestly it was torture. The emotional rollercoaster made the ttc process so, so hard for me. I never knew if we were going to really try that month or not, even though in hindsight, we actually always got at least one time during my fw. The biggest issue came when I was not pregnant each month. Not only was I not pregnant, I also had no idea if this next month was the month that the pendulum swung the other way and he decided nahhh, I don't actually want to tfas. The bfns hit me so, so hard. (*poof*)

I'm grateful now that we are 8 cycles in he is definitely on board now with ttc and he is making it happen at least once each fw. I hope he gets on board or at least doesn't jerk you around with are we or aren't we. Hugs lady.

[teambrink]

blurnette989,I'm sorry your H isn't 100% on board. I do love your statement about things not having a home not belonging. We just moved a few weeks ago and still have a lot of unpacking to do and I will keep your statement in mind.

[blurnette989]

Yogurt I am glad you are in a better place with ttc. Your anxiety did seem very high. It is not an easy time. Yeah, j think it's his waffling that is the hardest. I could deal with waiting if we had a plan, but he is not a plan maker. We will see what happens. Ultimately I think he wants it to be like we aren't "trying" and that's just nms. Also I stopped my anxiety meds to TTC and that isn't helping.

teambrink moving is such a good time to get rid of things that you really don't need. Moving overseas was so freeing I. That we got rid of SO MUCH, and yet we are still unpacking and asking ourselves, why did we bring this?!? On a hilarious note, some things hot accidentally packed by our movers, like the extra water filters for our fridge in the US. Lol.

Month/Cycle: 4/4


CD/DPO: CD 13, 1 DPO


Timing: If that was really a positive OPK, then good. It's my first month using those.


RRCS: Hello! I'm new here.

I want to learn how to budget better, and get healthier.

[blurnette989]

Good gravy. Got a BFP this morning. Welp, we are all in.

[sammysam]

It's awesome it happened so quickly for you. I know you were stressed with your H waffling and with having to go off your meds. Hopefully you guys can relax now and just enjoy the ride:)

He was really pragmatic about it this morning. So probably still in shock, but hey, I'll take it.

Sending you all the good vibes!
