Oh Abe so excited for you. Can't wait. When did you start with the meds and things?
Angel 17 weeks already. How you feeling symptom wise? I do wish your friend can get his own place soon. But it is great that he gives you'll space. I think he does need to do some chores on a daily basis as you going to need more relaxing time soon.
Sheece, I hope you get your BFP. But the relaxed approach may be your key.

Whimsical - my biggest symptom at the moment is a lack of appetite. I can't bring myself to eat anything. Has dH freaking out. I find about once a week I'm ravenous and eat a ton, otherwise very little. Doctor says I'm fine because I'm drinking protein drinks, juicing fruits/veggies, and drinking ensure so I'm getting nutrients and she says I'm still gaining weight so that's fine. of course I went to the doctor after a week of not being at the gym (and eating a big dinner of mexican the night before) and today I stepped on the scale after 3 days back at the gym and I'm down a few pounds. Oops. 
But I don't think it's affecting baby.
It would be nice if our friend could get his own place but we know that isn't going to happen adn we knew when he moved in that wouldn't happen anytime soon. We were already TTC when he moved in and he knew that once we got pregnant he'd be reduced to living in our office space and all but that's fine. The really annoying part is when his daughter comes to visit (about one weekend a month- six weeks depending on his work and $ situation). She's incredibly annoying - on the rude/disrespectful side and it drives me crazy. My sister (also a friend of his, and lives just down the road) has banned her from her house because she's caused too much damage/disruption in their house. But when she's not around it's not too bad. lol

Whimsy- I'm already on BCP, which has sped up the process by a cycle. I start injections on CD2 of this cycle coming up (I'm CD18 today, so 11 days to go roughly)
I got in for my baseline us and bloodwork on Wednesday.
Angel- how annoying with his daughter! But I guess you can't ban her from being in the house because he loves there, he doesn't just visit from time to time. It sounds like you're still getting enough nutrients and all the right kinds though, despite not having an appetite. I know my SIL couldn't keep ANYTHING down until mid- 2nd tri. She had actually lost a lot of weight, but baby was still quite healthy. A bit of bad colic, but that's about it. I wouldn't worry about a couple of pounds lost

Abe - well, I thought about banning her from our house. But she hasn't done the damage here she did at my sisters house (actual damage was done). I basically told DH that if she causes the problems at my house that she did at my sisters then she won't be coming back and if our friend doens't like it he can move out....he lives here for free he doesn't have much "right" to anything. 
lol I'm a little bitter today.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one having issues eating! Doctor thinks once I'm into the 20+ week I'll start feeling better.

Abe - yay for the IVF date! So do you already have an idea of what date you can start testing? So exciting.
Angel - oh my, what did she destroy at your sister's and how old is she? You certainly don't need the stress of that when you're expecting/have a newborn, but it's good of you to be open-minded and give things a chance. Remind me, are you going to be finding out baby's sex in a few weeks? As for weight, I had appetite problems too for the first little while, though I didn't lose weight, just didn't put on weight. And then my belly started growing like nobody's business. I look 7 months pregnant, no joke! I'm actually worried. Anyway, I think it's not uncommon to even lose weight in the first half of pregnancy and it's all fine as long as you get the right nutrients, as you said.

Jezika- we should be testing as soon as September 7, but the clinic will be doing bloodwork 16-18 days after our transfer. They don't WANT you to test early because of the trigger shot in your system, but I don't think that's going to stop me haha!

Haha, yeah I don't think you'd be the first. I think some women start testing, see the two lines, but then look for the line to darken. Not that I encourage POAS addiction, but I highly recommend wondfos for cheap and reliable testing

Angel - his daughter sounds like a handful! And he is quite lucky getting to live with you for free, you'd think he would be stricter with her while shes there at the very least.
AFM - who knows. CD 32 today, I'm still temping but I have no idea.

Hoping I've ovulated but going to keep BD'ing just in case. I think I'm going to have to go to the doctor next cycle and see if I can get things looked at early.

I think we've decided on a fun idea for how to "reveal" gender to our family/friends that aren't around. When we did our initial announcement we used a picture of a onesie that says "Player 3 has entered the game" with 2 XBox controllers (one black and one pink ) and a little wii controller with the cord "attached" to the pink xbox controller. (with the writing coming to a hospital near you, January 2017).
So I saw a video online this weekend of a family that wrapped up a controller that was either pink or blue and gave it to their daughters to open on video and they opened the present and the color of the controller told them what their new little sibling was going to be. I think I want to do the same thing but since we don't have kids we'll use my niece. She's 5 and knows I'm pregnant and is very interested in the baby. She's constantly asking how long before it gets out of my tummy. Then we will video it and send it to my mom, or friends, or post to FB or whatever we decide to do.
Jezika - We'll be finding out the sex on the 18th. I'm super excited. I didn't realize how big I'm getting until I realized I can't possibly wear any of my work clothes when I go back in September, even my biggest pair of pants!
As for the kid: She's 8 or 9 and she just refuses to do anything she's told to do. She'll do it after 2 or 3 times of being told (and it usually involves yelling and threats of time out or something ... she never really gets any serious consequences). At my sisters house there was a series of events - she was painting with my niece (who is 5) and she got paint all over the walls (not just near the painting easle but they found paint all over the walls in 3 rooms, and some of it was definitely intentional) when her dad was supposed to be keeping an eye on the kids. My niece is only 5 but my sister has set household expectations and whenever my niece spills paint or gets it on her hands she makes sure to clean it up. Then later that afternoon she decided to hang from the towel racks in the bathroom. Ripped them off the wall and put huge holes in my sister's bathroom wall. Again, my sister has 4 kids (my niece is 5, but the 3 step kids are 7, 9, 11) and they all know better than that. Then the next day she took all the rocks from the kids' "rock box" (which is like a sandbox but rocks where they play with trucks and stuff) and piled a bunch into the little playhouse, and then spread hundreds of rocks through the grass/yard (even though the step kids told her they aren't supposed to put the rocks in the grass) and refused to help pick them up - so every time my sister mows the lawn the rocks fly up and she's almost been hit in the face multiple times.
Some of it just sounds like child antics, but she refuses to clean up or anything and that's where the real issue comes in. And I'm so used to my nieces and nephew who do what they're asked and clean up their messes and don't rip holes in walls and don't paint on the walls!
Abe - In one of my other groups the girls start testing a few days after the trigger shot knowing it'll be positive and keep testing to watch it fade out until the test is 100% negative and then they know any test AFTER that is a true positive (using cheapies like wondfos). I know they say not to test early but I think a ton do!
Sheece - Yeah, she is a handful. he tries to be strict (sometimes) but she's only here 1 weekend every 4-6 weeks and so its a little hard. Plus we think he doesn't know how to really be that "dad figure" and instead half the time we feel like he is acting like a big brother. He tries but.... he's like a big kid a lot of the time and has a hard time shifting to "dad role".
As for your chart, I can't tell anything from your temps but hopefully with the CM you've ovulated.

I love that idea Angel And your niece will be so excited to be involved too I bet!
That sounds really tough for your housemate
It would be so hard to shift into dad mode for a week at a time. Hopefully it all works out and she settles down.
Well FF gave me crosshairs on CD 30. Not sure if I buy that though as my CM has been creamy for a week. Who knows! I was thinking CD 27 or 28, and hoping around then, as my OH was away this weekend so we BD the night before CD30 but haven't since, so we missed the after ovulation window. Everything is crossed we caught it though. Will stop temping now and try to relax!

Sheece - Worse than that it's only a weekend. So even if she settles down its always just in time to go home. 
As for your chart I wouldn't quite believe FF. I suspect that without the earlier temps it can't make an accurate prediction.

Angel - how frustrating!
Yeah I definitely don't trust FF this cycle. On my ovulation timing at any rate. I'm pretty sure I have actually ovulated, as my temps don't get this high before ovulation, its just a matter of when.

Had my baseline us and bw today. All came back normal. My lining is around 5.5mm right now, so I'm sure the RE wants that up a bit. She's upped my gonal-f prescription after my us. I should be starting injections as of Tuesday! Hoping and praying my insurance company will cover the cost of my medications, and I think I may have to go the second route (submitting receipts for everything instead of a letter from my RE). It'll be nice if they can cover it, but won't know until they do/don't.
In other news we're babysitting my 4 month old nephew for a couple of hours on Friday. I'm a bit nervous, as he's fairly colicky, and I'm just hoping he doesn't cry for two hours straight. Wish me luck!

My scan is one week from today! My sister and I were talking and we BOTH have had dreams in the last few days that my baby is a boy. Very odd, but I'm beginning to think more and more it could be a boy. Can't wait to find out!
