1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 6, CD 21, FF says 8 DPO but I'm not convinced I ovulated yet
2. Are you testing this week? No
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I'm waiting on test results from the RE. I might have to call and bug them today because I'm pretty sure they were in last week.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Most boys names I suggest he vetoes because of bad associations
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 7, CD 17. 6dpo per FF, but I'm skeptical
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I feel like H and I are already falling into the "sex for baby making not for fun" cycle and I don't like it. Neither one of us really initiates unless it's good timing and a lot of the fun is gone. I want to work on that going forward.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? My two front-runners: Caroline and Patrick
1. It is now cycle 9 as today is cd1. 2. Obviously not 3. This will be my last cycle on clomid before having another conversation with my ob/gyn about the next step. 4. There were a couple girls names that H didn't like but I can't remember them at the moment.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? TTC #2 since 9/13, cycle 9TTCAL, CD16, 4DPO after cycle 2 on Clomid. This was our 3rd IUI.
2. Are you testing this week? Nope, only 4DPO
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Hoping 3rd time's the charm!
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? None. We've already agreed on first names for our next kid, middle names are a little more up in the air, but we tend to like the same types of names.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 9, CD13 & I THINK possibly 1DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Not this week
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? We consistently miss the day after O. I know the "day after" is controversial in GP groups. Most say after the temp rises, you're done. Some say it's worth one more try. But I don't want to miss any chances...ya know? DH spent all night getting our master bedroom ready to put trim up and was too exhausted today. I'm trying not to be frustrated. I would have rather we had sex then have that room ready. We have so much time to do the trim.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Aidan...yes, I know it's been used a lot the last few years. I like it though. When we were dating, we both liked Ava. I think it's pretty...but I'm not sold on it for us anymore.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 4 cd 7 TTCAL
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I am temping again, so I hope to see when I am ovulating post-loss. My cycle and opks have been weird. I am going to focus on my health for a bit and probably skip this cycle.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? We haven't really talked about names yet.
1. Where are you in your TTC journey? Cycle 14, day 19
2. Are you testing this week? maybe OPK's... Really hoping I ovulate soon, long cycles suck.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? My H's SA came back normal, yay! I also had bloodwork and an ultrasound that came back normal, which is obviously good but I am convinced there is something going on with me because I have long cycles and I don't ovulate every cycle, and I think I am only ovulating from one side based on the cramping I feel. I am having an hsg next cycle, so we'll see how that goes.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? I LOVE the name Vivienne, and we would call her Vivi for short. H hates it, boo.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 5 Day 14. I finally got my first ever positive OPK last night so we're in full baby-making mode and tomorrow is our 4 year anniversary. Fingers crossed!
2. Are you testing this week? OPK's like it's my business.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I screwed up the timing royally last month (O came 3 days early) so I'm covering all of our bases this month. It's our last chance before planning to TTA for 3 months in order to be able to fully participate in a few major events next summer.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Lilah and Isla for girls. We have always agreed on Daniel for a boy. Our girl name choices are all over the place and we both fight passionately for our respective sides.

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Coming up on 1 year TTC, just had IUI #1
2. Are you testing this week? nope. I'm 3 dpiui, so not till next week.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? my H reallllly believes this IUI will work, I am not so certain this will happen without IVF
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? for boy names he's pretty much not open to ANY name except the 2 that he likes. I'm warming to one of them, and figure since we'll name a girl after my grandmother I guess he can pick the boy name.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 11, CD 16, 2 DPO O
2. Are you testing this week? Nope
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Started Therapy this week to deal with the anxiety and depression of TTC for so long with no luck. N
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Boy names. My H has two boy names he likes and that is it. I love so many more names, such as Elliott, but he only likes the two he has picked out.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? I kind of got TTC-shamed by a friend this week. She told me I should cut out all gluten/sugar in order to concieve faster since "its taking so long". Umm, first of all I'm on cycle THREE, relax, and second of all, you will have to pry sugar from my cold dead hands.
Oh good lord. There's good and bad to sharing with friends that you're TTC! Love your attitude, though.

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 5, CD 11
2. Are you testing this week? OPKs
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? H had his semen analysis yesterday and I had my hormone blood panel this morning, so we'll have somethings to go off of soon. I'm a little nervous about it. If there is a problem then at least we can start doing more testing/get a plan of action going so I guess that's good.
4. Favorite baby name that your SO hates? I like Alice and Carrington as girls names, and Nolan and Brady as boys names. H doesn't hate Alice but says he doesn't like it enough to add it to our list.

1. Cd... I don't even know. 7? Not going to start opks for 9-10 days so who cares lol
2. See above
3. Nah nothing happening really. I think I might schedule an appt with my OB to start testing though. I dunno. Hesitating on pulling the trigger because.... ? I just am.
4. I like River, our last name starts with R and he thinks it's an unfortunate combo. He's Czech (like, really Czech) and I like Milos but he hates it. (We haven't *really* discussed names, I just mentioned these in passing and got bad reactions)

1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 4 TTCAL, 6 DPO
2. Are you testing this week? Not this week.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? So many. I'm so pissed at DH because we would have had great timing this cycle (planning on EOD for the entire week leading up to O and a couple days past O), but instead he wanted to lay on the couch and play video games so we only hit O and O-3. I just want to shake him like do you not understand this is a big deal!? And we are quickly coming up on the end of our planned TTC timeline so if we stick to that we will spend the next year TTA. I hate that idea but I know it probably is best for us in the long run.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? I have lots but I'm not sure how many are guilty pleasures and how many I would actually use. Boys: Cyrus, Satchel, Ezra, and Fergus, and Girls: Wilhelmina, Winifred, Blanche, and Prudence. He used to hate Clementine but I think I've got him coming around.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 8, CD 14 2. Are you testing this week? No, will start OPKs probably tomorrow? 3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Hoping To bring home a souvenir from our San Diego trip! 4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Prudence and Poppy are my top girl names but DH hates them:(
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Cycle 2 CD14
2. Are you testing this week? Had a + OPK today!
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Last night after sex DH said "okay, my part's done. Make sure your part starts it's thing. If only I knew what was really going on in there right now.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? Mallory. I've loved that name since The Babysitter's Club and DH always makes a face when I mention it.

i've been lurking for a few months, so i figured i'd jump in today!
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? - cycle 8, CD13, i THINK 1 or 2 DPO, no crosshairs yet.
2. Are you testing this week? - just OPKs earlier this week
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? - i was really surprised when DH mentioned that he hopes this cycle or the next works, because he doesn't want to have to see a doc. i hadn't mentioned anything to him about HIS options for testing yet, so i was pretty touched he'd done research on his own about what he might need to get done.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? - i love the names everett (evie for short) and ruby for girls...but he hates them both, has bad associations with them. and i'm still trying to bring him around on louisa, even though louise is his mom's middle name and she hates it apparently.
1. Where are you in your TTC Journey? Well, I think H and I are back on the same page in terms of TTC, (hope this doesn't come back to bite me in the butt) so I feel like I can officially begin to participate. Cycle 1, CD 7.
2. Are you testing this week? Um, I don't know. I chart, and I'm fairly regular, so I know that I should be ovulating roughly this w/e - ish, usually day 10-12. The rational side of me feels like given its only our first cycle, I should just take it easy for awhile and see what happens. And then the other OCD, over-planner side of me takes over and makes me think I should go out and buy an OPK. Especially given my concerns with age and family history, I feel like I really want to know exactly when to maximize my chances. I know I'm ridiculous BTW, but this is the struggle I've had in my mind this week.
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? Related to above, I think the reason I'm debating the OPK is that my cycle has actually been kind of weird. Its only CD 7, and I had EWCM on day 5 and a little bit into day 6. That's the first time that's happened to me, but I've only charted 9 cycles I guess, so who knows... My temps were off that day too cause I was a bit sick (celiac related) so my sleep was screwed up. I made sure to BD, but I have no idea what that's about. Even H mentioned it was too early. LOL... he knows too much. Hopefully a regular O shows up normally this w/e and CD5 was just a random oddity.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? We've been together a long time, so we've often had theoretical discussions in which he usually hates all my suggestions, but has no serious ones of his own (unless its some random East.Euro name, which in reality he would never use, because no one could pronounce it except his family) I suspect naming will be painful for both of us!
3. Any TTC Randoms/Stories/Charts to share? At first I thought temping would be annoying, but the data geek in me is having entirely too much fun watching my temp.
4. Favorite baby name that you SO hates? I have a shameful love of virtue names. Grace, Charity, etc. DH has unequivocally vetoed them. I'm still holding out hope for Laurel Grace though.
