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:
GTKY: Pumpkin spice or apple? Basic here. But it is fall!!

Month/Cycle: 1st month trying again since our loss, happy but nervous!
Timing: -2, -1, +1
CD/DPO: CD5 (maybe 6?)
Symptoms: none
RRCS: I used wondfo strips in the past and felt like I knew the exact O day pretty well. I used easy@home/premom this time and the app thinks it's the day after my highest result (but it was low that day) so I kind of think it's a day off?
GTKY: apple all the way

Month/Cycle: 16
Timing:
CD/DPO: 3
Symptoms: so many cramps
RRCS: We decided to wait at least a month for our IUI. DH has an appointment with a urologist to discuss his numbers and we want to wait and see what they say. OH and I'm getting all 4 of my wisdom teeth out on Thursday, so that's fun.
GTKY: Pumpkin spice or apple? Basic here. But it is fall!! Both? I guess it depends on what it is. I don't like coffee, so no pumpkin spice lattes here.

Month/Cycle: 2nd
Timing: thinking of NTNP. Might need a little distended after monitoring so closely and then having a chemical last month. I'm sure obsession will set in eventually lol.
CD/DPO: haven't checked, see above. I'm having to stop myself from almost subconsciously counting out the days in my head.
RRCS: Yes I'm ready for a new month. Never ready for summer to end though
GTKY: Pumpkin spice or apple? All of it! Still in denial that summer might be gone here, but once I accept that it's fall I am making/baking/drinking it all.

Month/Cycle: 1
Timing: I have no idea. I wasn’t tracking because 2.5 weeks in a tent trailer with the kids was not my idea of a great time to start. I’ll just keep jumping MH and see what happens.
CD/DPO: CD25. No idea if I ovulated or when I did. Alas. I wait.
Symptoms: blah
RRCS: I need to make a chiro appointment. My hip is hating me. Also- it’s been cold the last week and we’ve had to turn the furnace on. I’m not ready for this. Winter here lasts for.ev.er. My son starts kindergarten this week and I’m scared but oh so excited for him.
GTKY: Pumpkin spice or apple? Hmmm. Depends what it is. Can take or leave PSLs but pumpkin pie blizzards from DQ are my favourite fall treat.

Like you said, it was the darkest day in the morning and by night it had dropped to low. But it called the next day O day.

Good luck this month everyone!
I have my appointment tomorrow. Meds went pretty good so praying I’m full of follicles with a nice lining. Also hoping for the IUI on Saturday, so my H doesn’t have to take time off of work.

Month/Cycle: 2...I'm over my cold feet and happy to be back to TTC. Also nice to see a few familiar faces:)
Timing: -1, O...not great...I wasn't sure I wanted to TTC anymore but tested on a whim, got a peak reading, started temping again, and here I am.
CD/DPO: 17/3
Symptoms: None.
RRCS: DD1 starts grade 1 in a couple of weeks. She's doing school remotely this year so I'm hoping it all goes smoothly. Also hoping the busy time of year will distract me from TTC and the TWW!
GTKY: I've never had either but I'll vote apple.

Like you said, it was the darkest day in the morning and by night it had dropped to low. But it called the next day O day. Oh yes! Than the next day would be O day. O day is the day AFTER surge (so day after dark line). That said, they say best chances are the two days before you O. I always aim for those two days and O day just in case.

Two maybe even three follicles for me (yay!) but my lining is horrible (boo!). It should be above 7 and I’m at 4.5. Taking oral estrogen and going back on Friday. Hopefully it improves significantly. As the doctor said, it doesn’t matter how many follicles you have if they can’t implant successfully.

As the doctor said, it doesn’t matter how many follicles you have if they can’t implant successfully. Hope that helps! Can I ask you a question? Do they always check lining at the ultrasound when they check follicles before IUI? My doctor wants me to take 100mg of clomid on days 3-7. I already ovulate normally and am worried about thin lining and higher chance of multiples.

As the doctor said, it doesn’t matter how many follicles you have if they can’t implant successfully. Brazil nuts worked for me. Helps a lot with lining. I just to just throw in 1/4 of a beet. Almond milk. Blackberries. Brazil nuts. All the Pom juice.

I already ovulate normally and am worried about thin lining and higher chance of multiples. My doctor always looks at the lining first, then checks both ovaries for growth. Since it’s your first cycle, I wouldn’t be too worried about your lining. Clomid builds up in your system and I think the lining can worsen the more cycles you do. At 100mg, I would be surprised if you got more than 2. I’m taking a fairly high dose of letrozole plus I have PCOS and my ovaries are stuffed with follicles. At each ultrasound, the RE will point it out to his medical student lol. So I’m more likely to grow multiple follicles than the average person.

I had such low hopes going into today, but it went so well! I have three (!!!!) follicles. My lining went from 4.5 to 6.5 in two days and it still has two more days to grow. Better that I even hoped for. IUI Sunday morning. I am praying that this is it.
