This is a place for those of us who have already started TTC, but have started infertility testing and/or treatments. You can express your thoughts, feelings, and frustrations on infertility. TTC can be a long journey naturally, then add in the difficulties associated with infertility, and it becomes a whole new ballgame. The road to infertility can be lonely, frustrating, and complicated, so let's make this a place where we can vent, ask questions, and support one another. Feel free to resurrect this thread at any point in the week if you have something to say. Treat this as an ongoing conversation.

What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment?): I’m on day 3/5 of my first round of Letrozole and want to cry constantly. OPK and trying to just have as much fun as possible.
How are things going?: I’m having a hard time this month. I’m anxious about the medication not working and what comes next. TW: Also, what was supposed to be my due date (and also my 31st birthday) is coming up and I’m just having a hard time coping. It doesn’t help that my therapist left the practice so now I’m just sitting in my feelings along…
Any questions?: Has anyone had any luck with meds?
GTKY: Do you have any crazy roommate stories? Unfortunately no…I did community college for 2 years and then had one year with a roommate that pretty much never talked and one with a really good friend. I also went to a commuter school, so no one was ever around on weekends to do anything crazy, haha.@mambo5-2 Rooting for Dory! I hear you on the anxiety…sending good vibes your way.
