Tell us how many DPO you are, what you're doing/not doing this month, when/if you'll test, and symptoms that have you wondering if this is THE month!
If you haven't already made a separate intro, please first do so in a separate discussion thread so we can get to know you! Good luck!

Debbie Downer warning:
I'm getting pretty negative and I'm not going to hide it. Which probably means I/we need to at least take a break. I need a vacation from my body...from the roller coaster...cycle after cycle....from the BS of it all. My back pain is back after a year which probably means more epidurals which means I have to plan it around not being pregnant because they use Xray to do it. So taking a break is probably inevitable anyway.

@jennh75b I feel ya. Its CD 1 over here for me. Literally since a few hours ago. I am totally in your Debbie Downer boat. Hand me a paddle.
I need a break too. But I don't know how to mentally do it.
@Christina239 - I'm so sorry for CD1. Misery loves company, but not under these circumstances.

@christina239 and @jennh75b the negativity is REAL! One of my co-workers, who is also a friend from school (so she knows me very well) came up to me on CD2 and was like, "dang, you are CRABBY today!" She knows we've been struggling with TTC so when I told her my period started she understood. I'm also still dreading seeing my former co-worker on Monday (she got pregnant on her first IVF cycle, no TTC, right to IVF, pregnancy announcement at 6 weeks). I totally resent her financial ability to just do IVF like it's nothing. We now have close friends who are TTC starting this month and the wife keeps telling me how excited she is for us to be pregnant together. (no pressure right?). I reserve the right to be crabby, and resentful, and emotional about TTC. It's something that most people take for granted, it's our purpose in life, so when it doesn't happen it SHOULD be devastating! ok rant over.
@Jennh75b maybe just take a break from all the TTC "stuff". don't do the OPK or the speacial teas or foods or whatever else. Just enjoy being a couple for a month and focus on really reconnecting intimately? Maybe more for that purpose than for the sake of making a baby?
Good luck to everyone in the TWW!
