Remember when TTGP and GKU were the hot hang out place? I'm sad it's so dead over here.
This is a combined TTC thread for EVERYONE currently TTC. Whether you're a first timer, a many timer, or an old timer come on in and pass the time as we struggle through WTO and the dreaded TWW.
As this is a combined thread there will be talk of LC, losses, and IF struggles. If any of these are hard for you please just let us know in your first post and I'm sure the lovely ladies on here will be happy to add TWs to accommodate.
Month/Cycle:
Timing:
CD/DPO:
Symptoms:
RRCS:
GRKY: What's on the docket for November? Making anything good for Thanksgiving, American TTGP ladies?

Month/Cycle: 1/1
Timing: excellent
CD/DPO: 25/6
Symptoms: meh, none really. A little congested but the cold front that moved in is likely to blame. My sinuses are a disaster anyways.
RRCS: I O'ed late for me. This is my first cycle off my IUD and I'm sure that's issue.
GRKY: Both girl's birthdays are this month so we'll celebrate on each day, plus we're having a party the weekend in between. I have no clue what our Thanksgiving plans are. I'm sure we'll end up traveling my parent's. We are getting a new car this month though! Trading in my Forester lease since I'm about to hit my miles and buying a new Ascent. I'm very excited!

CD/DPO: 11

Month/Cycle: 6
Timing: tbd
CD/DPO: 12
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I need to start taking better care of myself. Ttc stresses me out so much and makes me sad/angry every month and I've been eating my feelings. Now I'm sure I've gained back all the weight I had lost earlier this year.
GRKY: Ds's birthday is 12/1 so I'll be planning his party and looking for good toy deals. I'll probably make some dessert for thanksgiving which we always celebrate at my grandparents house with tons of people.

Month/Cycle: 5
Timing: TBD
CD/DPO: 9
Symptoms: none
RRCS: Last month's cycle lasted 14 extra days. When I finally got my period, it was so light. I'm afraid something is off, and I won't O this cycle.
GRKY: I haven't even started thinking about Thanksgiving yet. I should begin planning to help take my mind off TTC.

Hi! I'm new to this group. I have two kids (3 and 19 months) and we are TTC #3. I just stopped taking the pill last Thursday and I'm waiting to ovulate and/or have a period. I'm using OPKs to track ovulation.
Month/Cycle: I am honestly not sure if I should consider this cycle 1 or wait until I have a period... With my daughter I never had a period after stopping the pill, I ovulated 2 weeks later and got pregnant. So I guess I'll call this 1/1.
Timing: TBD
CD/DPO: not sure
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I've been using easy@home ovulation tests and they have an app for reading the tests. The app wanted to classify my test today as "high" but it looks low to me. Does anyone have any familiarity with this app? Is it usually accurate in the way it classifies your tests? In the past I used the Clear Blue digital tests so it was never up to my interpretation.
GRKY: What's on the docket for November? Making anything good for Thanksgiving, American TTGP ladies?
I'm Canadian! So nothing special planned for this month. My parents are visiting us tomorrow and staying for about two weeks, so that'll be nice. I'm hoping to get lots of work done around the house, like removing wallpaper and maybe doing some painting. MH and I are going to have a date night this weekend!

I considered that but wasn't sure if that was something you guys would want to see lol. I'll post a pic in the following post!

Oh darn, never mind. I only took the photo through the app and the test is long gone. I took a screen shot but it's such poor quality you can't really see the test line... I'll post a picture of tomorrow's test though.

So I must be going crazy because I DID actually take a pic of my test yesterday, it was just further back in my photos than I thought. So this is yesterday's, I haven't tested yet today. The app classifies tests as "low", "high", or "peak" when the test line is as dark or darker than the control. It classified this test as "high" but what do you guys think? I can manually change it to low if I think it's wrong.

For me personally, I always have a line on an OPK at any point in my cycle and that's what mine look like when I'm not fertile. But, anecdote. If it's not questionably close to as dark as I'd think it would be low.

cnf that's what I figured, I'm going to count it as low. Today's test looked identical. Thanks!

Month/Cycle: 3
Timing: Good
CD/DPO: CD23, probably 10 or 11 DPO but not sure
Symptoms: Not a thing, but that's probably because I have been so busy with work / moving, etc. Usually by this point I have made up all the symptoms in my head (or they're PMS symptoms)
RRCS: I don't "feel" pregnant at all. I hope I can avoid thinking about it till Friday, when Fertility Friend says my period is due.
GRKY: What's on the docket for November? Making anything good for Thanksgiving, American TTGP ladies? Canadian over here! But in food news, I am transitioning to a more plant based diet. This is pretty out of character for me but so far so good!

I'm still just spotting / had another super faint line this afternoon. Is it naive to think that I could be ok? I want to be

I'm out too and I'm annoyed at my body.
I mean, I'm ridiculous as it is. I got a bfp with DD2 at only 8dpo and both her and my loss before we're conceived on my first cycle. So my crazy took over and I tested on 9dpo despite trying to keep my expectations low. I got the faintest line. Negative yesterday and this morning and the my period showed up this afternoon. So not only did I O way later than normal but I only had a 10 day LP and a stupid line that turned up nothing in the end.
I'm going to eat so much cake and junk food Sunday at my kids' birthday party.
This is me giving my uterus a giant middle finger 🖕🖕🖕🖕
