Everyone Welcome.
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? CD 20 -- don't think I ovulated this month.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? When my next cycle starts I need to do some follow up bloodwork and then get an HSG. Not looking forward to that!
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic? Ha we don't really. This has been really almost 3 years straight of TTC with just about a 6 month break while I was PG. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy it but I wouldn't classify it as romantic.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I just wish I knew what would work. I hate that it seems soooo easy for so many people but it just has to be such a struggle. Why can't my body just do what it's supposed to?!
Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Cycle 2, CD 17. I got a positive OPK this morning, so hopefully will O tomorrow or the next day.
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? No, just going to go in for 7DPO bloodwork.
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic? I don't know that I really do, but I try to at least not make it seem like the only time I want to do it is during my FW.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I really hope that I get pregnant this cycle, because I've been trying to decide what to do next cycle if I don't. We are going to Greece the beginning of July, so I'd rather be a little further along so I won't worry quite as much. We wouldn't prevent anything next cycle, but I don't think I would do any meds to help things, which basically means I don't have a shot. I'm torn because I want to get pregnant as soon as possible, but I think I'd be OK with taking one month off if I don't get KU this time.
schulme2 : Don't count yourself out yet, I frequently ovulate later than CD 20, and even on meds I only O around CD 19.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? Nope
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic? It is really hard. It feels almost like a job. I guess what we did this time is we listened to music and kind of had a little "pillow talk" but it wasnt all that romantic. I would love to hear what you ladies have as ideas.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I keep thinking in my head that Christopher is giving me my mothers day present this month. I really hope that it is true.... My thoughts about trying to become pregnant again are consuming so I am trying to find some hobbies to take up.

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Still benched
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? I have the Counsyl genetics test and another beta both next week. We'll see where we go from there.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Just getting worried about next week's beta. Hopefully its negative already. Also, MH is so anti-condom he'd rather just abstain completely....ugh.

Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? July seeing my OB
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic? It's hard. Usually the first couple times are ok because we don't have to much sex out side of ttc time. I think I have a harder time with it then H. After three EOD sex, I'm bored of it lol.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Glad my AF came...that was a MF cycle. Don't think I ovulated. Heres hope this cycle is better!
@marylaurena No problem. I'm doing ok
@schulme2 ((hugs)) I get it. I wish our bodies just did their job right. Maybe we should fire them!
@erinel Good luck with O, and Greece sounds awesome...
@Shannon0922 GL this month. Sometimes H and I will "role play" or I'll pretend we're on a beach or something haha.
@kflynn81 Good luck with the testing, I'll be thinking of you... ((hugs))

Where are you in your TTCAL journey? Cycle 2 cd4
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming?
Not at this time
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic?
We haven't started yet and it makes me nervous that not approaching this right will kill the mood or make my fiancé feel 'used' in a sense because we haven't been intimate like that in a long time... Pretty much haven't had sex since the baby because I was on pelvic rest for a while due to SCH. My DF is on board with me and does want to try again so that helps with this journey.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Buying a OPK to start soon also thinking of looking online at some of the cheaper brands you ladies mentioned because I have a feeling this will be a long road for us.
@shandorfml2 haha oh I so would if I could!!
@Jellybean71514 I buy the wondfo dip strip OPKs... Usually off of ebay and they're only like $10 for 50 or so!
@Shannon0922 wouldn't that be such a wonderful gift from Christopher? Sending lots of good vibes!
@erinel - yay! Get to it!! :!!
@marylaurena - I know the feeling... It's so hard to try to hold on to that hope when you keep getting shot down.
@shandorfml2 - Thanks!!! I hope this cycle is a better one for you.
@Jellybean71514 - I too lost my little one a few months ago and it has been really hard accepting the fact that I want to try again... but in my heart now I know that I am not doing it because I am "over" the lose of my son, but rather that I still want a child to love and hold here on Earth. I hope that you catch your rainbow soon. As for OPK's I use wondfo ones until I think I get a positive and confirm the positive with the clear blue OPK (with the smiley faces). Good luck
Do you have any relevant appointments upcoming? No. I had an HSG yesterday, and my next appointment will be our IUI next cycle.
QOTW: How do you keep TTC sex romantic? Ha! Well, with IUIs there is a lot less TTC sex. And a lot less sex. I send to bleed until CD6, and you need to abstain 2-5 days before the IUI, and I start progesterone suppositories at 3DPIUI so, there is not a large window!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My local BFF is testing after her FET tomorrow. I am hoping so hard it is positive, but it is also hard, because she will have a January due date just like I had, and like our other local BFF has.
