11th month TTC is in total and 5th month (3rd cycle) TTCAL. Cycle Day 9, this was my second AF post D&C and she was a doozy, happy she has left town and that I am now WTO. Last cycle O was cycle day 23, so I have a while to wait yet.

My favorite place to visit is probably San Fran/wine country. I've gotten to go out there a few times for work and absolutely love it there! Too bad it is such a pricey place to live!

2. This is month 2 TTCAL. I am on cycle day 7 so WTO. I think last month I did early so starting to take OPK's earlier this month!

3. My favorite place to visit is any beach! Love the sunshine and sand!

AL_TwinCities

I'm on month 18 TTC, 15 TTCAL. In my TWW, currently 10 DPO. If AF doesn't show up, I plan on testing Fri (if I can wait that long!).

I'm in DC right now, for the 5th or 6th time in the last few years. Love DC! DH is joining me on Friday for the weekend - I'm excited to show him around (he has never been here). I also love visiting Western Massachusetts where I grew up.

2. Status:  Month/Cycle: 6/5, CD17, 2DPO.  I triggered (3 follicles) on Saturday and I'm trying to remain patient this TWW!  I am hopeful that this cycle will be it so I hope I'm not wrong!

3. GTKY: where is your favorite place to visit in the US?  Vegas!

11 months TTC #1, 8th cycle since MMC/D&E, 3rd cycle since CP.  8dpo.  I got my progesterone checked this morning. Results tomorrow, maybe?  My temps are very close and steady all of a sudden.  3-8dpo has risen ever-so-slowly from 98.3-98.45.  I'm not sure what that means.  The rational voice in my head says maybe my body is attempting to reboot after having low and erratic temperatures for months.  The irrational child in my head is hopping up and down, yelling "Something is different this month! Let's jump to conclusions!!!!"  If the temps were higher, I'd be more inclined to listen to the second voice.  The rational voice is winning for now, but I still hear the crazy one.

I've always wanted to visit Maine or Oregon/Washington.

First cycle post d&c, TWW, 3dpo. 

I don't know where my favorite place to visit in the US is. Does Puerto Rico count?

I'm still benched until the end of Dec, so really just saying hi.  

My favorite place to visit is probably California (San Diego if I had to pick part of the state, but I also love LA and San Francisco).  But my favorite ever trip in the US was to Havasupai in AZ (yes, it really does look like that).

Ttc since March 2014. Mc at 9w2d April 2015. My period just started again and my due date is on Wednesday 11/18. Trying to stay positive in the midst of a crap week.

I love the North Carolina mountains and going to the beach.

But really my favorite thing is cruising. DH and I are planning on going in March for spring break (teacher) but I was hoping to not book, because I was hoping I would be pregnant.

Hi all,

Still benched, 14 days since my d&c, I have my follow-up with the doc tomorrow. This was my second mmc in 5 months. Hopefully we can start trying after AF #1 and also to get some answers from the tests.

My fave place is also San Diego! I think we will eventually live there. But, I also loved Sedona AZ, lovely. And anywhere with a nice beach, esp. Miami!

@AL_TwinCities, keep us posted! FX!

Jackie from Michigan 

I am currently in my TWW (3-4dpo & I refuse to test until a week after AF is due) and on 28 months of TTC, 5 cycles of Clomid & one loss.  I have mild PCOS, DH checks out fine...just trying to O and hope for a BFP!  I really never thought any of this would be happening but it is, and I literally feel like I am going to go insane sometimes.  Hoping for the best for all of us

LA & NYC are my go-to's for work, so I am familiar with both and love them; but, I have to say Charleston is my favorite place to repeatedly travel to.  DH is from Savannah and so we spend a lot of time in the Sav/Hilton Head area and try to go through Charleston on our way in or out of town.

2. I had my post- D&C follow-up today and was told we are free to try again, he didn't really advocate waiting. I am still trying to wait for one cycle.  I took a HPT today and it was faint so I guess the hcg is not out of my system yet.

3. Right now I would love to go back to the Florida keys. We went for our honeymoon and the food and the snorkeling were amazing.

I am about 2 months post D&C, had first AF in October and we were off and running after that...I am 11 dpo and DH and I are celebrating our 7 year wedding anniversary on Saturday (2nd AF is due Thursday)! I'd love to have a BFP to share with him at dinner Saturday night!

My favorite place to visit in the US is Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida! I am such a Harry Potter fan girl!

2. This is my first cycle trying post miscarriage from September.  I am in the TWW.  I got a BFP at 7DPO with my loss, today was 7DPO.  I got a BFN this morning.  Trying to remember that every pregnancy is different. My husband hid all my tests (FRER/Digis) until Friday and I have one cheapie Wondfo to use Wednesday.

3. GTKY: where is your favorite place to visit in the US?

Gulf Shores, Alabama!  We are beach bums and love the sun!

2. Status: 7 Months TTC, benched following miscarriage beginning of November.

3. GTKY: where is your favorite place to visit in the US? I love Hawaii. I have been  a few times and it is just a magical lovely place. I'm also a big fan of our National Parks, especially Bryce Canyon, Zion etc.

Second month TTC, our loss was a year ago, just needed time to recoup.

My favorite place in the US would have to be North Carolina. So incredibly beautiful!

2. Status: 21 TTC total / 4 temping / 3 TTCAL. I am currently waiting for AF on CD 26 because temping confirming I did not ovulate this month.

3. GTKY: where is your favorite place to visit in the US? I would say San Diego if I didn't already live there! So its Hawaii, hands down.

1. Hello, my name is Amanda, I am from Wisconsin. I was pretty active on the TTGP board (still trying to be). I will probably float between this board and that one.

2. Benched. 1w2d post MC (WTO, then waiting for AF)

3. GTKY: where is your favorite place to visit in the US? I have traveled in the US a good bit but I wouldn't say I am a huge fan of traveling. I really enjoy staying near home and traveling within Wisconsin. We normally try to make it to Wisconsin Dells and Six Flags (IL) every year.

2. Benched from D&C on October 20th. I have been having some PMS symptoms (at least I think), so I'm hoping AF is close. I just feel like that will be another weight off my shoulders knowing that my body is getting back to normal. 

3. I honestly don't travel much, except for work. The most beautiful place I visited for work was Las Cruces, New Mexico. Absolutely stunning with the mountains and wonderful weather in the fall!

2. In my TWW, about 4 dpo. Not feeling good about this month, but I said the same thing last time and I was pregnant.

3. My favorite place to visit is California! I've been a few times and just love San Diego and San Francisco. So many great sights and the sunset in Carmel is just gorgeous! And of course perfect weather

2. Status: Clomid x5 cycles, currently benched until January after D&C in October.  Anxiously awaiting my first RE appointment in a few weeks. 

3. My DH and I went to Hawaii in February and it was gorgeous!  Would love to go back!

******************TW: BFP mentioned*********************

You guys, I was 13 DPO yesterday and kept thinking that AF would show up every time I went to the bathroom. When she didn't, I tested before bed. BFP!! Confirmed this morning with a FRER and clearblue digital. Our infertility consult was scheduled for Dec 3rd. I can't even believe it. 18 months TTC, 15 months after loss. The biggest things I was doing differently this cycle were acupuncture and no coffee or alcohol. I am cautiously optimistic about this pregnancy - my last loss was at 5W6D so I will be holding my breath at least until then. Trying to take it one day at a time. Today, I am pregnant.

Thanks for all the support on this board - TTCAL is so hard, and I was glad to have this group to help me through it. I hope you all get your rainbow BFPs soon!

Will someone please take over starting the weekly check-ins? I'll miss you guys!

@AL_TwinCities congrats!!

1. I'm Jessie. :-) 25 years old, recently married. I have a 4-year-old and hubby has a 5-year-old from previous relationships (both "surprise" babies). This is our first time actually "trying" for pregnancy. 

2. This is month 2 of TTC, month 1 of TTAL. Currently in my TWW after ovulating on/around Nov 17th.

3. My favorite place to visit in the US is probably Seattle, WA. I used to travel a lot for work and I always thought Seattle was one of the prettiest places I've visited.

PeggyOlsonFTW

Congrats @AL_TwinCities!!!! So happy for you!! I'd be more than happy to take over the check-ins until I get a BFP (which hopefully won't be too long )
