**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.

How are things going?: Hoo boy, this cycle has been a roller coaster. I came down with a cold in the middle of it, which may be why growth has been sluggish and my follicles are all over the place (ranging from 7mm to 22mm as of this morning). Going ahead with the trigger tonight for a Thursday morning retrieval. Just trying to take it day by day and hoping what we get will be good enough quality.
Any questions?:
GTKY: What’s your astrological sign? Do you think it fits you well? I’m an Aries! Descriptions often seem a bit more brash and impulsive than I feel, but the general fire sign profile of being driven and independent feels true enough!
