    Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. We got pregnant unexpectedly and then had a missed miscarriage in March at 8 weeks, baby stopped growing at 6. 

    Status: Benched only because I got the first covid shot yesterday and I am not sure how I feel about conceiving this cycle.  Otherwise doctor said I am good to go asap. 

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I am a little sad we are sitting this cycle out.  I want to just jump right into it.  I am still temping to see how my cycle resumes.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? nope. 

    Questions? not today. 

    GTKY: what's your best Spring Break story? I honestly have nothing here haha.

    @ReadyForaB oh good I'm not the only one that didn't ever do much for spring break :D I majored in Engineering so there was no way in hell I was going to spend that week partying. I needed it to decompress!

    Introduce yourself and anything you think is important: number of loss(es), when you had the loss(es), diagnosis/conditions surrounding loss, etc. loss at 8w, Oct 2020

    Status: WTO, TWW later in the week

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I am just not liking this cycle. It was nice not starting OPKs until yesterday at CD14, but I'm low on OPKs and need to order a new box and CM tracking and all that just makes me feel like I don't know what I'm doing. It seemed so clear last cycle! Oh, and I'm basically on track to get AF on my birthday if this cycle doesn't work. What a GREAT way to ring in the age of 32.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? Oh just OPKs until they're positive. I think 2 weekends from now is when I might get something on an HPT.

    Questions? nah

    GTKY: what's your best Spring Break story? At at home for the whole week :D. I was not a partier in college. I honestly don't think I ever traveled for spring break other than maybe seeing family.

    1 pregnancy was CP, March '21

    Status:
    Waiting for AF per my doctor to start trying again, but pretty sure I O'ed this past weekend.

    How are things going? What is something that you are struggling with and/or what is going well? I am not in a great place right now. DH's best friend from college told him she was pregnant and it really set me over the edge. I am obviously very happy for her, but it really devastated me.

    Any testing coming up/any recent results? No. I had been using CBAD to see where I was at my in cycle, and after a little mishap, finally confirmed my LH surge on Saturday evening.

    Questions? Not right now.

    GTKY: what's your best Spring Break story? I am in the majority here that I wasn't a partier - I went to school in NYC but I always worked/interned during my vacations. I did have a very fun girls' weekend in Chicago over 4th of July weekend one year, but I was very post-college. Ha!
