    @lcwed I didn't work with the animals at all since I was in the ski show.  It was pretty awesome though!  I hope your body get it together soon.  My first few post loss cycles were pretty wacky and the last one was the first "normal" one.

    Not sure how I missed this the last two days...

    1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
    flyliceandcoffee - CO

    2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
    we've been unofficially trying since June, had a m/c about a month ago now, so back on the bandwagon. This will be for #2

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE?
    Right now we were just doing hpts to watch the hcg levels drop, and then opks to see when I might ovulate.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
    I have no idea. Waiting to get my first AF back after the miscarriage so we're all kinds of wacky right now.

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    We're not holding out any hope since I haven't gotten my period back yet and opks aren't being helpful at all really. We're really just waiting to see what happens.

    QOTW: What was your first job?
    I worked at a summer fun program!

    1. URMySunshine77

    2. TTC#2 for around six months

    3. Temping, OPKs, prenatals, acupuncture sometimes, decaf green tea before O, more water, less caffeine, cardio 2x a week, sex

    4. I'm on CD13 and waiting to O.

    5. I am aggravated because I ovulated on CD13 last month after ovulating on CD18 for several months before. Now we have been having well timed sex, but I can't turn an OPK positive for anything. DH might have to take another work trip starting this weekend and I just feel frustrated. I *think* based on the progression of CM in past cycles that I might O on CD15. 

    QOTW: What was your first job? I started babysitting at age 13, but my first official job was as a waitress at a mom and pop cafe in my town. I was always eager to work; I'm a busy bee.

    I want to give a happy shoutout to @JimBobCooter for being SO CLOSE to her transfer! I'll be sending tons of positive thoughts to you. Also a hug to @Davie813 for having a difficult week.

    1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
    Carrie from MA

    2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
    TTC #1 since August 2013

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? 
    Met with the fertility specialist today and she said we should move forward with IVF with ISCI. Should make the first attempt in November or December.

    4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
    This doesn't really matter for us anymore. We don't really have a chance at a natural pregnancy with my husbands counts.

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    I'm sad. I also find that I'm very resentful towards my husband for all of the things I have to go through. I know it's probably not the right way to feel, but I can't help it.

    QOTW: What was your first job?
    I worked at a clothing store at an outlet mall selling men's dress shirts. Snooze!

    Name: SHAI - IL
    TTC since June 2012 (after tubal reversal surgery April 2,2012)
    No Meds - I had 4 children before having my tubes tied, then met my husband who has no children.
    Cycle Day 7, few days after my cycle ended. Trying to get back into temping. Got so frustrated this past several months that I just stopped. DH has low motility. Will be starting more aggressive measures within the next 2 months.

    QOTW: First job at Wendy's

    Vent: pissed and jealous that my sister in law is pregnant now, and that I am not. I'm happy for her but still mad that so many people around me are having babies, and it seems my body is betraying me. I know surgery was successful because they already did the HSG.
    Sigh....

    1. Your Name or Screen Name (not full names) and State you are from.
    SillySally24 from SE PA

    2. How long have you been TTC? Are you TTC #1,#2,#3, etc.?
    TTC#1 since Jan 2014

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist (RE)? If so, what stage are you in? Charting/temping? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? DE? 
    I've been quiet going into this cycle as I didn't want to have to retract my status like last month.  I'm 3 days into stimming on IVF#1.  Just had a checkup this morning, and E2 progressing fine, so going onto days 4-6!

    4. Where are you in your cycle? (Waiting to O, 2WW etc) If in the 2ww when will you test? Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
    Based on other experiences ladies have shared when doing IVF, I expected something with more fanfare.  It's been pretty anti-climatic so far - the shots haven't been any big deal, and I haven't noticed ani crazy bitchiness (of course others might feel differently).  But I'm only 3 days in, maybe that's all going to come in the next few days :)

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    I refuse to get all caught up in this cycle - I'm just going to take it one day at a time, I don't want to get all worked up and stressed out over it.  I insist on staying hopeful, even though the odds are stacked heavily against me!

    QOTW: What was your first job?
    1st paid job, other than babysitting - lifeguard at girl scout camp - some of my favorite memories to date!

    Shout out to @JimBobCooter - so happy that you're finally moving forward with your new donor.  Fingers, toes and all inbetween crossed for you!
