Slgill from KS

TTC#2 since August 2015

Stilling using Ovulation kits and a ovulation/fertility tracker

I am waiting to ovulate - actually my cycle just started right on schedule yesterday.

I always have mixed feelings with is the month? Are we going to get our timing right and try while ovulating?

**I would love to go to New York, Boston, or Seattle.

Rita from California

TTC#2 for a year and a half, 2 MC's and 1 CP

This cycle I am going to stick with the progesterone an baby aspirin. Trying to get an apointment with an RE. In the meantime OB has ordered me some standard tests to get the ball rolling but need to wait for next cycle to do them since some are timed.

CD 20 still waiting to O.... OMG why am I not ovulating this month? I kid you not the line has been getting lighter not darker and never even got close to matching the control line. I may not ovulate at all this month is my current thinking on the matter

Feeling this cycle is a bust based on ovulation or lack thereof

QOTW: Would like to travel to Alaska I think

chloe97 · January 2016

1.) Chloe from Chicago
2.) TTC #1, 1st cycle after Dec MC
3.) Im temping, doing acupuncture, and OPKs probably
4.) Cd 10 maybe? I had some sort of cervical blockage my 1st cycle after MC that caused AF to be blocked at least 2 days, if not more. I'm temping to see if I can tell when I ovulate and I had a huge temp spike this am, so I'm not sure what that's about since it seems early. H and I are just going to BD every other day for 9 days and hope that we catch it.
5.) I'm not holding out too much hope for this cycle, but we will see. We will be at my parents house for 3 nights this weekend, which would put a damper on BD and staying at an all-inclusive in Mexico during the TWW. So not conceiving this month wouldn't be the worst thing.
6.) Hawaii is probably the last state that I have left to visit that I really want to go to. Maybe Oregon too.

5. I'm still working on not obsessing/stressing about getting pg again. calm isn't my thing, but i realize i can't control getting pg. it'll happen when it happens, though i'd love it to happen this month as i've always wanted an october baby.

q- would love to see the grand canyon. have yet to get there.

amimhof · January 2016

Amanda Marie from MD

TTC #1 for 7 months

3. Charting/Temping

4. I don't know where I am. I'm either on CD33 and waiting to O, or I'm 5 DPO. FF wasn't showing that I had O'd, but on what I expected to be a 3rd high temperature, I entered I know what was a messed up reading (didn't take the temp at the right time, didn't sleep well leading up to it, etc). When I discarded that temp it gave me cross hairs. I just hope my period comes soon, I just want this cycle over.

5. How do you feel about this cycle?
Miserable. I just want it over. I don't know why my cycles are now taking forever.

QOTW: Where would you like to travel to within the US?

I've never been to Alaska, I think that's my US bucket item. I also want to do a road trip. We were supposed to do a long road trip[/baseball tour this spring, but probably won't happened because I'm changing jobs.

MollySm · January 2016

1. Molly. We live in southern California.
2. We are just starting TTC #3. I had a miscarriage between 1 and 2, so it will be my 4th pregnancy.
3. I am temping and charting.
4. I am in the 2WW. I am somewhere between 7 and 9 DPO. I've been sleeping terribly so my temps are off and it's hard to know which. I tested this morning, BFN.
5. I am trying to be hopeful, but I'm not feeling super pregnant. H thinks it didn't happen. If not we'll just move on to the next cycle, but baby would have been due just after my birthday, which I would have liked.

QOTW : I would love to travel in the Northwest. We are from the east coast, and haven't seen as much out here as we have back home.

Piperella · January 2016

Laura from Virginia

TTC #1 for 6+ years

FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer) I have been seen an RE for awhile now and completed the retrieval part of IVF in November.

Finally getting to transfer 2 5day blastocysts Friday. I'm currently on estrace (estrogen) 3x a day, medrol (steroid) 1x a day, PIO (progesterone in oil) shots 1x a day, and my theranatal prenatal vitamins.

I'm feeling very positive with this cycle and I hope that it works. My RE said I have a 40% chance of it working due to age (everything else looks great).

QOTW: I'd say Florida, because it's warm and WDW is there! However, if I could pick somewhere I haven't been, I'd probably choose California and areas out west.. I'd like to see some of the Grand Canyon.. I love beautiful and different landscapes.

KLake42 · January 2016

Kathleen in GA

TTC #1 since early 2015

I was trying to do IVF, but IVF was cancelled (after I used up the majority of the very expensive drugs), converted to IUI.

1dpo/dpiui. I'll wait until 14 days to test. (At least, I intend to)

I'm disappointed with the failed IVF. I'll hold out hope for this IUI, but it's IUI #8. Chances are not high. But there is also an increased risk of multiples, which is scary, but something I accepted.

I want to see the desert in the southwest, and the Grand Canyon, and the northern Rockies! I kind of want to see it all....

BernieRae · January 2016

BernieRae from Oregon

TTC #1 for 2+ years

Clomid & IUI w/ovidrel trigger

8dpiui

This is the part of my cycle where I notice that nothing feelings different so I begin to waver in my hopefulness. But it's not impossible so I'm going to try to remember that!

Happyktmom from Virginia
TTC#2 for almost 2 years
We are taking a break from temping right now. I'm getting myself healthy and losing weight. Already down 5lbs from New Years!! Thank you @emsmama15 for stearing me towards the Green Smoothie Detox! Just what my body needed!!
We are gearing up for repeat bloodwork and SA next month and then anticipating our first and only IUI in April. Fingers crossed a little something amazing happens before then!!

I'm remaining positive but also realistic that a second child may not be in the cards for us. Though disappointed, I am beyond grateful for what I do have and really tired of investing so much time, money and effort into trying for something that may never happen.

I would love to take a trip up the Northern California coast through Oregon. Everything just seems bigger there. We have beauty in DC/MD/VA but I've never been to those areas and would love to see the Ocean and Forests on that side of the US.

PoeMasque · January 2016

Jen from Oregon

TTC #1 since Nov 2015

Charting, sort of temping (finding it impossible with my work/sleep schedule)

CD 12, right in the thick of O week!

I'm feeling really snarky lately. I work with a very large group of married women in their mid 20s and in the last week 3 of them announced they were pregnant (two of whom "weren't really trying"). I also have two friends who are my age and announced their pregnancies too. It's been really hard to be happy for them and to be positive about this cycle. Next month I'm away for work during my 3 most fertile days, so the pressure to get timing right this month is almost unbearable ( @Sinnet don't worry you're not alone with the stress over timing!).

We were supposed to go to the Grand Canyon and Moab last spring, but late snows botched our plans. We did end up going to Joshua Tree (which was amazing!) and it really made us want to get out to Moab even more!
