I have sore boobs very early this cycle. I normally get that before AF arrives so it's very strange. Who knows, I'm all over the map.
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Not too hopeful since we got DH's SA back. 20% motility doesn't make me very optimistic. We're repeating the test in 2 weeks so maybe it was just a fluke?? Fingers crossed.
QOTW: Do you plan on watching the Olympics? If so what sport are you most excited about?
Eh, I watch figure skating...but otherwise I don't get too into it.

Me: 37--Thyroid Cancer survivor. H:38. DS born 6/22/2011; BFP#2--11/5/12--Missed miscarriage discovered 12/21/2012. BFP#3--5/20/14--another MMC 6/16/14.

3. Where are you in your cycle? If in the 2ww when will you test? ( Waiting to O, 2WW etc)
In the 2WW - not sure how many dpo... the stick said I o'd on the 14th/15th. But the blood test on the 23rd disagreed. On the 24th I had LH surge confirmed by blood test and on the 28th bloodwork showed elevated progesterone. So I probably o'd over the weekend (~day 21) and am maybe 7dpo.
4. Experiencing any weird "phantom" symptoms ladies in your 2ww?
No weird symptoms.
5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Just waiting. Not overly optimistic since we are on our own this month. (IVF#2 starts once AF arrives)
QOTW: Do you plan on watching the Olympics? If so what sport are you most excited about?
Yes - we love figure skating, speed skating (short and long), ski jumps and alpine skiing events. And of course the opening ceremony

Hopeful as always but scared of the worst case scenario.
QOTW: Do you plan on watching the Olympics? If so what sport are you most excited about?
I start with good intentions of seeing some of it, but after days and days of non stop coverage, I get sick of it and do a little boycotting. I like the ice skating and skiing best.
