Please provide a brief history and current cycle status.

Me: DS a natural surprise after 4 yrs MFI. Currently on 5th? Cycle TTC # 2 CD 17? (I think) I still haven't ovulated.

QOTW:

Describe one of your favorite childhood memories.

Me: Some of my favorite memories are of my mom reading to me (every night since my infancy). I really credit her for my outstanding reading comprehension and overall addiction and reverence for the written word.

For my dad, one of my favorite memories is when my dad took me to the horse race tracks (I'm in ky) and he would let me pick the horses, he would place the bets, and if I won I got to keep the money

Please provide a brief history and current cycle status. DDs both conceived 2nd cycle. Oh to experience that ignorant bliss again! TTC#3 since Oct. 2011 with one mmc at 7wks Aug. 2013. QOTW: Describe one of your favorite childhood memories. Me: I have lots of memories of sitting at the counter while my Grandma baked and I licked every dough-filled spoon I could get my hands on Eta: realized I never actually updated! I'm 8dpo and wish I had a crystal ball. The 1ww kills me.

Please provide a brief history and current cycle status.

Me: 2 MC, DD natural surprise, 2 additional MC's. CD 28,

O-ed on the 11th and I think I AF just arrived 9 days early, I originally thought it was implantation at 5 DPO because it was just brown spotting, but the bleeding is now bright red and consistent with a light period.... GRRR WTF?!

QOTW:

Describe one of your favorite childhood memories.

It would have to be when my dog broke my arm, My big sisters made it so memorable and even though it sucked then, looking back now it sure is funny

Me: DD conceived 1st month we tried, 2nd pregnancy also conceived the 1st month but ended in a loss at 15 weeks.

Currently in my 1st cycle of IVF. My retrieval was Monday - 11 follicles retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilized. I'm fully freaking out thinking that I may only have 1 or 2 embies left by the weekend. My clinic only transfers blasts, so if we do a fresh transfer it would be Sunday. However, if they are not yet blasts, they will freeze them. If I have less than 3 embryos, I'm debating doing another retrieval before a transfer. Ugh...I hate this uncertainty! If anyone has words of wisdom, feel free to chime in.

DS natural, 2 cycles. TTC # 2: 3+ year. In 2WW. Tested yesterday but BFN. Went against better judgment and looked again today to find an evap line (my first ever) so now I'm grumpy.

Memory: Christmases at my aunt's cabin. Snowy mountains, lots of trees, building fires outside and in, feasts and holiday music on the only station that would come in on the radio- just the coziest experiences.

Hi everyone!

DS was a surprise from a long time ago relationship.  

I am on let's see here... I guess CD22 & 9DP retrieval.  Currently waiting for AF to show up.  Also waiting on genetic testing results. Once both of those happen, we will schedule surgery. Not looking forward to that. 

Wow... a lot but when I look back everything involves my little sister.  We were and still are very close.  We used to do all kinds of things together. As long as we had each other we were good.

History: BFP #1 first cycle trying ended in MMC at 10 weeks, BFP#2 in second cycle trying led to DS.  Currently trying for BFP #3; I think I either entered the 2WW in the last 24 hours or will be entering the 2WW today and am hoping for a spotting-free and longer than normal LP this cycle!  Or a BFP, obviously.  Not holding my breath for either of those though.

It's really hard to pick a favorite childhood memory but on this rainy day, I'm reminded of playing "chocolate covered raisins" with my sister in a muddy ditch by our house when we were younger. It was basically like playing slip and slide in a muddy ditch.  As a parent, I'm now cringing a little thinking about the dirt I'm going to have to clean off of DS in the future.  I'm pretty sure cloth diaper laundry is nothing compared to the laundry I will have to tackle in the next few years.

DD conceived after 11 cycles.  TTC #2 for 14 cycles.  First appointment with my OB today to talk testing.  My nerves are through the roof.  

My favorite memories are probably anything to do with my mawmaw's house.  She passed away in 2000 when I was in college.  Prior to her getting sick, there weren't very many days in my life where I didn't talk to her at least once.

Hi everyone! I'm back.

About me and my history:

My DD was conceived using Clomid after several cycles of TTCing on our own and a few cycles of Clomid. We lost DD's twin right before my second trimester and also suffered 2 m/c's before DD and one after. My DD's father is my EX-H and all of that happened while I was married to him. 

My SO and I are getting married in 2 weeks. We on cycle #16 of TTCing #2. We've taken two "focusing on TTCing" break but have never really stopped trying. I've had a m/c and c/p this time around and we are on our 3rd RE. We've finally found someone to listen. My SO checks out great but the RE thinks I have weak ovulation and eggs as well as low progesterone. We just started Clomid this cycle which worked with my DD so we have our fingers crossed! Right now I'm on CD 9. 

QOTW: The best memories I have are with my mom were being in the kitchen with her and being able to help. With my dad, it teaching me to shoot a recurve bow and letting me help fix things around the house. Also, the loving and supportive household they made for me!

DD conceived after 7 months & 3 c/p. never had problems getting KU just staying KU. Now, we're almost at a year of TTC #2 with no BFPs. Just met with a RE, had blood tests & an HSG today all of which look good. Planning to start meds next cycle probably.

One of my favorite childhood memories is playing "ditch" (if you aren't from the Midwest, that's just basically hide and go seek in the dark) with our entire neighborhood! We had so many kids! I hope we can move into a neighborhood like that one day.

Ditch!! I forgot all about that one! We loved kick the can and capture the flag, too!
