Where are you in your TTCAL journey?

We are in the middle of our second cycle of TTCAL. 

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?

No appointments scheduled. I did text with my OB yesterday. She gave me some encouragement and advice.

QOTW: Are you trying anything different this cycle while TTC?

Last cycle I tried OPKs, but never got a positive before running out. I found it kind of depressing peeing on the stick everyday. I'm not sure if I did them too early in the cycle or if I never ovulated. This cycle I have just been temping. I will probably try the OPKs again next cycle. Although I hope I don't need to.

Open Topic: What is on your mind this week?

I am wishing that I had Braxton here with me. He should have been three months yesterday.

I am worried that I may not be ovulating, but trying not to stress about it. I know I might be and not realize it and I know it takes time for your body to return to normal after a pregnancy. 

GTKY: Do you dye your hair? If so, how often?

No, I love the color of my hair, but I may have to dye it soon. I am starting to get more gray hair.

I hope everyone has a relaxing rest of the week!

Where are you in your TTCAL journey?I am in the 2ww in (I think) our third cycle. Not too positive about this cycle, but we will see. 
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?No appointments until either it is taking to long or I get pregnant.
QOTW: Are you trying anything different this cycle while TTC?Nothing different this time around. I have never temped or used OPKs, but that might change next cycle. We will see.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?I actually feel much more ready this cycle. Before this past week, I had a hard time looking at babies, but now I notice them more often and don't look away. I think getting my tattoo to memorialize her has really helped in my healing. I feel like I now always have her with me and am ready to carry her little brother/sister.
GTKY: Do you dye your hair? If so, how often?
I do, but not very often (we are talking like twice a year!). I started getting some stray greys so my frequency might change.

Hello!  Where are you in your TTCAL journey?We are waiting to start our first cycle after our loss actually.  AF arrived yesterday after taking provera for 10 days at the end of July.  I will take another round of provera in early September and tentatively our first baseline u/s (as we will be doing another Injectables/IUI cycle) is set for 9/14.  It will all depend on when AF shows though.  Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?Monday 8/20, my DH will provide his sample to be frozen as we are not sure if he will be here for our IUI.  He is traveling a lot so we are freezing some in case he is not here and this Monday worked out to be the best time with his traveling.   And Thursday 8/23 is my first therapy appointment.  My RE highly recommended I try this to be sure that we are ready to start TTC again. QOTW: Are you trying anything different this cycle while TTC?We will be doing the same protocol that we were successful with on the cycles we conceived both of our sons.  So nothing new!  Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?Yesterday was our 2 month mark.  It has been an emotional week for me so far! I was doing pretty good until a wave of complete sadness came over me earlier in the week.  And it has just stuck with me.  And starting to TTC has been on my mind a lot, especially with turning 40 soon.   GTKY: Do you dye your hair? If so, how often? I have had my hair colored once to cover up all the grey but I have never had it dyed a different color.  I have a friend who has a couple of strands dyed every now and then and it looks really cool on her.
