    2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

    1. Ciara from Indiana

    2. TTC #1 - 6 months

    3. Baby Aspirin, Prenatal Vitamins, OPK, Acupuncture

    4. 2WW, DPO1 ... driving to work this morning my back felt really sore and achy...I didn't feel ovulation very much this month, but did confirm O.

    5. It is my husband's birthday.  Feeling relaxed, positive (especially when it's finally WARM out!).  I feel good this time around, fingers crossed.  Tried acupuncture and hoping it helped somehow.  Learn that I get blood clots....booo.

    QOTW: 
    I don't think I can give up...my phone.  LOL.
    Me: 35, DH: 33

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

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

    3. What are you doing this cycle? Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? Charting/temping?G
    We had our initial consult May 9, transvaginal ultrasound and bloodwork. Plus semen analysis for DH. We use OPKs and PreSeed.

    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'm on day 25, which is when AF should arrive. Well, usually she shows up on the night of day 24, but sometimes she shows up the morning of day 25. I think of it as Uterine Leap Year. I feel definitely PMS, and I POAS this morning and it was negative. 

    5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
    I kind of wish AF would get it over with and show up already!

    QOTW: 
    What is the one thing you could never give up ( not a person, an object)

    Red lipstick.

    Me: 38 DH: 40 TTC#1 (and likely only) since 9/13. Saw RE 5/14, SA good, AMH 2.36, FSH 7.2, estradiol 69.6 indicating good egg reserve. Using OPKs. First Letrozole cycle 6/14, a burst cyst and a BFN. Second Letrozole cycle 7/14, BFN. 

    Update 11/14 - had laparoscopy 10/28, good news is that my uterus and left tube look good, and they were able to drain the cyst on my left ovary. Bad news is that right tube and ovary have endo and scar tissue, so they're pretty useless.. Best news is that we finally have some answers and a path forward. Taking 7.5 mg letrozole CD 2-6 to put that good left ovary through its paces. 

    UPDATE 2/2015 - We switched to another fertility clinic, but fortunately we don't have to start all over. We're doing two cycles of Clomid plus IUI, if neither of those take, we'll do IVF in April, potentially with ICSI. (DH's SA has gone downhill, likely due to excessive exercise.) IUI#1 2/25/15....

    1. Jen from PA 2. TTC#1 since june 2013 but after a mc in August and a second D&C in sept due issues, trying full force again since jan. 3. June will be last cycle before RE referral. Using FF but not temping. Digital OPK kit. Trying acupuncture with practitioner specializing in fertility. 4. AF came today so I'm pretty disappointed but looking to the future. 5. I thought we got it in this last cycle so I'm trying to stay hopeful and positive. QOTW: books or my rescue pups!

    lhbphd - me too! cd1 yesterday. cycle buddies
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
