Please post your update below

QOTW: What is your favorite color?  Why?  Has it always been your favorite?  Do you use that as a color scheme anywhere in your house?

Update: CD9 and I'm once again just taking it easy. I have a lap scheduled for July 19 which hopefully won't need to happen because I'll get a BFP...right?

QOTW: My favorite color is GREEN. I like just about any variety of green besides neon or bright. Our bedroom and dining room were shades of green up until a few weeks ago when we repainted. I've noticed that when I receive clothing as a gift it's usually green. People know me so well!

Update: I'm on 8 dpo and beginning to overanalyze.  I have had some cramping, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not.  I think it is, because I'm pretty sure I ask myself "is this normal?" every cycle.  Anyway, I don't want to get my hopes up.  AF due 7/5ish so I'll just have to wait. 

QOTW: I'm as girly as they come and love every.single.shade of pink!!!!  However, none of the rooms in my house are pink, nor will they ever will be unless I have a daughter some day and she requests it.  I'll do pink accents (pillows, pictures, etc...) but not pink walls.  I have a lavender bathroom with grey accents, but that's the closest I am to pink!

Update - had my CD3 testing at the beginning of the week, U/S tech commented that i had a cyst that would need to be removed before we tried Clomid but wouldnt say anything else :l just that we had to wait to speak with the RE for his recommendations on the next step. follow up w RE is scheduled for july 16th which feels like forever from now.... so frustrating. 

 

QOTW - PURPLE!!!! Always purple. I love jewel tones in general and a nice rich purple is my fav i have NO purple in my house though lol... oh well! 

Bee112309

Update: CD25. I am 11dpo and 13dp trigger. I tested yesterday and this morning, and got faint positives both times, but I can't be sure if it is still the trigger or not so I am not letting myself get excited yet. I'll keep POAS over the weekend, and my beta is scheduled for Tuesday.

QOTW: I love light blue, like an aquamarine. My living room is painted that color, and I have several shirts in the same shade. 

MrsSewall

Update/intro:  I just finished my 3 round of clomid,  I am on day 12 of my cycle, Problem is I don't ovulate on my own (only happened when I had my son.) Frustrated.

QOTW:  Yellow because it is happy and my Great Grandmother loved it too!  It has always been my favorite.  I don't use it anywhere in my house or wear it (strange i know)

We have a wtf do we do next appointment on July 10th. I'm not doing anymore treatments with our RE, but I am curious to hear what he would recommend ad far as surgery for endo again. DH and I are leaning toward going to Atlanta to an endo specialist, but I just wonder what our RE would do next. Ivf isn't going to happen. I'd love for it to, but we can't afford it at all. So, really, I'm learning to live with my beautiful threesome family. DS is nine, so it's time I embrace my life and enjoy my blessings. I've spent way too long chasing a dream that may never happen. QOTW: I love pink and yellow. They both make me smile and think of my life when it was much simpler and the hardest thing I had to decide was what to have for lunch! My house has no pink, as my boys would go on strike against that! But, my kitchen and dining room are a pale yellow.

Update: Today is CD1 for me.  I almost cried when AF came this morning.  I don't know why I had my hopes up or why I was so upset, but I was.  I think after having our consult with our RE, I'm just really nervous to start our IUIs because we only get 4 and then we are on to IVF.  I'm just full of irrational thoughts/fears, but I am somewhat excited also to be starting an IUI cycle this month.  I'll just be charting and doing OPK's, then calling the RE with the surge and going in for IUI the next day.  I'm hoping the timing works out this month! 

 QOTW:  I don't have one favorite color, but for clothes it tends to be blue and for our house it seems to be red.  I don't know why I like red so much, but I find myself buying more and more red stuff for our house...especially our kitchen and bathroom towels.

mrs25

1DPO. IUI #2. Had one good size follicle and one that I think was too big. Just the usual, over analyzing everything.  

 

My favorite color is purple. I tend to buy purple clothes but don't decorate with it.  

 

BTW, WorkinWeezel, I still love the pom-poms. Glad you brought those back this week!! 

AprilDrew04

Update: I am on cd 4 today, taking Letrozole and hoping for a good definitive positive surge for our 1st IUI.  Last 2 cycles were messed up, so hoping this cycle is back to normal.

QOTW: I love colors in general and am always changing my mind on what my favorite is.  I really like pinks, greens, blues, and teal.  Haven't used any in my home, but wear a lot of pink and blue.

kimberm0511

update:  On cd25 of 26 day cycle.  Waiting for cd1 to start process of IUI #2.  Took a break this cycle due to vacation, which is why I have no urge to POAS.  Would be a great surprise if I was preggers this month!  VERY unlikely.  I had some strange midcycle bleeding this month.  Very rare for me. Lasted a couple of days.  Called dr and they said don't worry too much about it.  Hopefully my cycle is still normal and I am still due to start AF on Monday (unless a miracle happened and I by chance am pregnant..then by all means AF can stay far away!).  Lots of my friends having babies this month!  My dh and I do photography as a side business and are having a quite a few newborn shoots.  Love them and hate them at the same time.  Love to snuggle babies, but it makes me sad because I just want one myself.

 

QOTW:  I love all colors...blue and green I guess would be top faves.  My living room has both colors as accents.  Kitchen is a pale green.  Bedroom is a dark blue and a blue/grey for the master bath.  Love to wear them too!

I am 1dpiui.  We were only able to do one round of IUI this cycle because of the timing of our vacation, but decided to give it a go anyway.  RE said I didn't really respond to the clomid...only produced 1 follicle which was around 20mm (what I typically produce).  He keeps talking about doing injectables but my DH and I are really against increasing our chances of multiples.

QOTW:  I LOVE green.  Have since I was a kid!  My DS does too...wonder why?!?   

queenbone

Update: I got a BFN on Sunday. I was convinced I was pg so it was a big let down and 4 longass days waiting for AF. I'm CD3 and first day of Letrozole.  There is a shitton of warnings and side effects for this drug, so I'm hoping they aren't too bad for me! ha!  We may have to do IUI because DH may have to go out of town when I'm ready tp trigger.

QOTW: My favorite color is purple and it has been for as long as I can remember. It is an accent color is many rooms of my house.  I do it up more in my bedroom.

Hnysckl426

Update: CD 18 of an un-medicated cycle, continuing with acupuncture and herbs.  If we decide to keep moving forward injects is our last try.  Waiting to hear back from the insurance company if they will cover my meds and then DH and I need to decide if we are going to move on or not.

QOTW:  I am girly and my favorite color is pink, darker pink not baby pink.  Oddly enough I don't have pink anywhere in my house, even in DD's room - her room is light green with dark pink accents.

mrsjami

I started stims today for IVF:) My throat hurts and I think I'm getting sick....lovely. I'm on the max dose due to DOR so I am going to be huge any minute now....Aside from that, trying to take this 1 step at a time. 

Color...I don't know! I love color, not sure I have a favorite. I would say yellow b/c it brightens things up, but not for clothes. For clothes I love turquoise, it brings out my skin tone:) 

tptbabe

Update: Not much going on here! CD7 (for another couple minutes anyways) and continuing supplements. DH has been an absolute DREAM since starting them! Who knew they'd make such a difference and so quickly! We'll see if they're making a difference in his baby makers in September

My favourite colour is purple! (Looks great on me too!) DD's room is a light-medium purple and I love it. Strangely, DH was the one who picked out the colourl

sgrobste

Update: We are now fourteen weeks and I am still scared to death. Baby is doing well and growing! We had an ultrasound yesterday and baby was waving and sucking his or her thumb! 

QOTW: I'm not sure that I have a favorite color, but I do love the light blue a d Brian color scheme! I think it is so cute for a baby room and I also live the color scheme for bathrooms!
