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

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

TTC#1 since September. Charting/temping since November. Getting better at the timing, but cycles still irregular since going off BC in the fall.

3. Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF?
Not seeing anyone at this point

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?
Waiting to O.

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc)
Hopeful - now that we're sort of figuring out the timing, I plan to do more BDing in the next two weeks. I'm sure DH won't complain about that!

QOTW:
What was your favorite subject in school and why?

Hmm... If we're talking about high school, I would have to say Latin class. Best teacher, most active club with great trips and parties and activities, and I am still amazed by how handy all my years of Latin studies can be in my daily life (ok, stepping down off nerdy soap-box now.)

ksgsmu · February 2014

1. Katy from Texas

2. 22 Months... 9 since mc

Our DEIVF just began... we have a FET planned for early April- So just a bunch of waiting, legal work etc right now...

I loved Art class.... it was my outlet when I was in school. I was an above average art student. I did get offered a small scholarship for it but knew I didn't want to go to art school. I wish I had kept it up as a hobby though.

kindershlitz · February 2014

1. Kindershlitz, MI

2. since August '13 #2

3. Had a first (in a while) consult w/OB and have HSG to be set up after this cycle.

4. Just entering the 2WW (as in today)

5. I'm hopeful about the cycle b/c of good timing -although I ovulated early this month (not sure if that means anything). I also am glad to know if it does not happen we have a plan in place for next cycle.

6. I guess in HS I liked Spanish best because of the teacher. She was awesome and I got through much of my university minor with what I learned from her. I also liked Yearbook (does that count?!)

@JimBobCooter your Olympic fail signature is awesome

Davie813 · February 2014

1. Davie813 from Chicago

2. 2nd cycle TTC #2

3. Not currently. Will get additional testing if this and the next cycle are unsuccessful

4. 2WW. I'll probably test Friday, even though I know that's too early. No symptoms.

5. Well...I know we timed things well, and I think my chart looks promising so far (although it's my first month of charting, so what do I know?), but for some reason I just don't feel like there's anything going on in there...

6. I liked art, too. I wasn't crazy talented, and definitely don't/didn't have any kind of artistic vision I needed to share with the world, but I do wish I'd picked a career slightly more along those lines. The graphic design work I do is definitely my favorite part of my current communications job.

Lady2010 · February 2014

1. Lady2010 from Boston

2. Since Mar 2012

3. Yes - on IVF #2

4. Just had ER today - 21 eggs retrieved! Will find out tomorrow how many fertilized. Doing 3 day transfer of 2 embies (provided that many make it)

5. Cautiously and guardedly optimistic...last IVF I thought it worked - but it didn't and I was crushed... so trying to be more cautious this time.

6. In HS - math and science classes (I know - I am a nerd). In college - Intl. Finance and Derivatives. B-school - M&A, Organizational Development & Leadership and Accounting - though that was because the professor was fantastic

BeckyP005 · February 2014

1. Becky from Pittsburgh

2. Started with RE 4/11 trying for #1

3. Yep

4. Still on bcp's waiting for donor and other recipient to finish testing.

QOTW: I loved spelling and geography in younger grades. Not sure why it came easy to me but I hated psychics in HS!! I barely passed lol.

Funny thing is when I entered KDG I didn't speak English that well. Both my parents spoke Serbian so it was pretty challenging in my early years. Oh and when I spoke in Serbian the teacher thought I was swearing and sent me to the principals office. Unbelievable!!

@Lady2010 21 eggs is awesome girl!! FX for a great report!!!!

3. Yes, we see an RE. We are waiting to do IVF #2

5. I'd love to get a miracle BFP while waiting to start the prep for my next IVF

QOTW: In general I liked school. In college I loved my philosphy class. Great professor and great "thought provoking" topics.

Great news!! Let us know how they fertilize!

BeckyP005 · February 2014

@JimBobCooter that is awesome your 7 yr old understands! Hopefully when he is a bit older he will appreciate it more. I understand alot but lost the speaking part

I'm so upset I didn't keep it up! Know enough just to get by

I was just over in Serbia this past June visiting family. It was 27 years since my parents and I were there last. Big mistake. Should of went sooner. When I was in a junior tamburitzan group we traveled to all parts of Croatia. Did you go over with your ex at all?

I loved Mostar and Split @JimBobCooter. It's all beautiful over there. My mom's one nephew said it was really hard after the war. He mentioned a few things but then refused to talk about it. Too sad to think about. Nothing going on that we heard just not alot of jobs.

KateLouise · February 2014

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

2. How long have you been TTC? TTC#1 or TTC#2, 3 etc...? TTC #3 for 5 months off and on.

3. Are you seeking help with a fertility specialist ( RE)? If so where are you at? Testing? Medicated cycles? IUI? IVF? No

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? Waiting to O

5. How do you feel about this cycle? (Are you hopeful, anxious... etc) Not too hopeful. Went to my endocriologist for another matter, and he said he wouldn't be surprised if I wasn't ovulating as I'm still BF, and that he wouldn't investigate ovulation until I'd be TTC for 6mths after weaning DD2. I'm not going to rush to wean her, so just going to cruise along and see what happens.
