Resuming TTC: Next cycle which should start in about a week - woot!

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? I loooove mashed potatoes and stuffing.  I don't hate turkey but I feel like it's always really dry.  Dark meat is ok.

ETA:  Good luck on your surgery!  I hope your recovery is smooth and uneventful!

Good Morning!  This is my first post in TTA check-in.  Kind of bitter sweet.

TTA since: This month, Nov. 2012

Resuming TTC: Either Dec. 2012 or Jan. 2013, depending on how long this cycle is.

Thoughts/comments/vents: I am on the fence about taking a month or two off.  I have had two 'longer' cycles since coming off BCP so taking a month or two might be good for regulation purposes.  I don't really want to avoid because that just means it will take longer.  I know in the long run it's a good thing because avoiding this month will avoid a potential august birthday.  I know it's weird to be picky about what month we want a birthday in but DD's birthday is in august and we don't really want birthdays in the same month.  Plus August is DH's busiest month and he isn't home that much, so he hardly see DD on her birthday so he doesn't want that for a second.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?  Love, Love, Love Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Cheesecake.

TTA since:  Also my first post, officially TTA.  

Resuming TTC:  Good question.  We'll hopefully have some answers after my nephrology appointment later this month and I also want to have bunion surgery before getting pregnant.

Thoughts/Comments/Vents:  I've been feeling kind of depressed about the thought of TTA - I'm 34 and we were really excited to start TTC this summer but I have a lot of medical issues that just need to be taken care of first.  I know I'm doing the right thing by taking care of myself before throwing a baby into the mix but it's still kind of tough to swallow.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? MMMMM, I love it all but I can never get enough mashers & gravy.  I also love broccoli casserole - basically the traditional green bean casserole with broccoli instead of the beans.  Yum.

TTA since: August 2010

Resuming TTC: June 2013 

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: DH has been very wishy-washy lately.  One minute he'll be all "let's make a baby right now," then the next he says, "maybe we should wait a few more years?"  It's getting annoying.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving food? STUFFING!

TTA since: August

Resuming TTC: February

Thoughts/Comments/Vents: I am hating how it's snowing right now. It's only November. AND, my heat is broken so the only source of heat in my house is a plug in radiator so it's under 60 in my house.
