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.

GTKY Questions: What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving/holiday dishes? Any family traditions associated with this time of year?

Month/Cycle: TTC #2, Cycle 5 CD/DPO: CD24, DPO11 Symptoms: Typical PMS symptoms for the past week or so. RRCS: BFN yesterday and temp drop today. Waiting for CD1 at this point. Feeling bummed since I thought we had decent timing. We've had some stress with DH job searching, but he thankfully got a job offer this week, so hoping that will help things in the TTC department. GTKY Questions: What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving/holiday dishes? Any family traditions associated with this time of year? Love all the desserts- Pumpkin pie, pumpkin rolls, etc. We usually travel to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws, but will likely spend Thanksgiving at home, just our immediately family. Hoping to figure out some good traditions to start this year with DS, who is 3. He's getting to an age where he is having more fun with holiday activities.

Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: cd9
Symptoms: none
RRCS: My temps have been so all over the place. I think we're going to take a break next month; I don't want to be stressed during the holidays. We'll still try to hit the right days, but I'm not going to chart or stress (hah).
GTKY Questions: What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving/holiday dishes? Any family traditions associated with this time of year? I love Thanksgiving! So many sides I can eat (I'm vegetarian). I'm making a caramel apple cheesecake for dessert; I can't wait to try it.

Hi everyone! I’m jumping back in here as we decided to TFAS.
TW
I’m OrangeHibiscus. I’m 34, H is 37. We have a March ‘19 DD. It took 2.5 years TTC, an RE, and Letrozole/Follistim/trigger shot to get her. We also have 2 angel babies (lost before we had DD - 1 PUL and 1 ectopic). I had surgery for the ectopic, and the RE had to remove my left tube.
End TW
I have PCOS and endometriosis. H has borderline morphology (3%) and abnormal semen viscosity. We’re excited and a bit nervous to be TTC again. We will try on our own for a bit before going back to see the RE since treatments are 100% OOP.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD5 - I have long cycles and I usually O somewhere in CD 40s-50s
I’m taking Metformin to help ovulate. It worked last cycle, so hopefully it will continue to help!
FX for everyone!
Edit: forgot some of the questions
Symptoms: none
RRCS: Nothing I can think of right now
Favorite Thanksgiving dishes: homemade rolls, Mac and cheese, and mushroom and leek gratin!

Happy (USA) Thanksgiving y’all!
I’ve doubled my Metformin dose as instructed, and I’m hoping I will O earlier this cycle.
How is everyone doing?

CD1/cycle 7 is approaching. I have an appointment with my doctor this week, since it's now been 6 months of trying. We are taking December off, though.

I am fairly confident today is CD2 and I have never been more grateful for my period.

10DPO today. Tested this morning, but BFN. AF is supposed to start Sunday, so will test again if it doesn’t show. Temps are still up, so we’ll see. I’m to the point of just wanting to know one way or the other. Have been over analyzing every symptom the last few days.

10dpo and just started spotting. I intended to take December off, but now I’m re-thinking that. The clock is ticking louder and louder each cycle.

So sorry marigold. I feel you on hearing the clock tick louder and louder. 11dpo today, temp plummeted and started spotting today too. 😔 Feeling sad about the growing age gap between DS and a future sibling.
