Please make sure you have made an intro on the board before posting here! All are welcome!
1. Your Name or Screen Name ( not full names) and State you are from...
2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...?
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?
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?
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
QOTW: You have a whole day to yourself .. what are you going to do?
Laura from NC
TTC #2 since Nov. Husband is a military pilot and gone quite often.
I'm taking Clomid, 2nd cycle. I only have 1 tube due to an ectopic pregnancy. :-(
I'm in the 2WW. We covered the ovulation days sufficiently, so we are cautiously optimistic.
A day to myself....I do have these occasionally. I would work out hard, get a massage/facial and then go to the steam room. Then I would take a good book and go to get a salad at my favorite restaurant. Then I'd take a long walk and meet my girlfriends for happy hour afterward. Wow, sounds amazing!!!

@URMySunshine77 - Thank you so much for thinking of me! I am doing better, but my incisions are still pretty sore, especially the top one. I go back to work on Friday so my "staycation" is almost coming to an end.
I also got AF today. I was so focused on the surgery and recovery that I really was shocked when it came this morning. I had no symptoms of ANY kind whatsoever. Here's hoping that next month is "THEE" month.
I'm so happy to so many BFP's! Let's keep them comin', ladies!! xo
